Chapter 368: Entrance: Part 3
“Survivors?” Lin Sheng was surprised.
He had never expected to run into survivors here.
And very quickly he noticed that a few of the people in the group wore the emblem of Baine University on their uniforms.
“Oh you’re from Baine University?” He asked. “I’m also from Baine. Luck is sure on your side.” He let out a smile.
He had practically almost considered Baine University as part of his family. When the top level fighters had left, the entire of the university and most of her staff started worshiping the holy light.
As the holy light is atheistic, as the faith is towards their own will and spirit, this was particular attractive to the Darksiders who had the elitist mindset.
Plus, Holy and Dark powers would stimulate one another, resulting in a growth so exponential that it defies belief.
Even when many had ran into the limits of their souls very quickly and were not able to progress any further due to the inherent limitations to their soul, many Darksiders who joined the Holy Sanctum saw their powers increased by leaps and bounds.
So, the growth of the Holy Sanctum was far beyond what Lin Sheng had imagined. Perhaps in the near future, even Baine University might need to change her name to Holy Sanctum University.
The moment they heard Lin Sheng mentioning Baine University, Laylee and the other three members from Baine suddenly had a conflicted, yet hopeful look in their eyes.
“Did… you came from outside?” Laylee asked, cautiously.
“Not too long ago yeah. But you don’t have to know too much. All you need to know that I’m also from Baine, and I will do you no harm.” Lin Sheng smiled.
“Since you had ran into me, thank your lucky stars. Let’s get you all out of here, and move with me. We’ll leave in a bit.
Laylee could tell that Lin Sheng’s strength was far beyond hers, so she did not waste any time, and ordered her comrades to get to Lin Sheng’s side.
In the thick mist, it was quite easy to discern humans from monsters, as long as they keep an eye out for any weird outward features, chances are they could tell which is which.
“We are four students who had accepted the student missions, and joined the garrison here. I’m Laylee, this is my special school badge. You can check my personal details in there.”
Laylee walked towards Lin Sheng and handed her badge over.
“Keep it. I trust you guys.” Lin Sheng shook his head. How was he going to authenticate the veracity of the device in this G.o.d forsaken place?
“So we are leaving now?” He looked at Kushlan by the side and the elevator that had appeared from the ground.
“Wait! Are you sure you could get out!?” A hurried voice suddenly rang out from the other side of the changing room as a new underground elevator appeared from an originally empty spot.
The moment the elevator door opened, another group of man and woman in bullet-proof armor walked out and looked at Lin Sheng and Kasumi.
And the persons leading the group, were clearly Ian of Spectral and Olba of Scryer.
“I’m sure I could get out.” Lin Sheng nodded and answered.
“Well then! By the military’s merit, I’m conscripting you!” Ian stepped forward, and displayed his ident.i.ty card as a member of the Moon Basin’s special captain.
“I order you to bring us out of her!” He barked at Lin Sheng and Tenko Kasumi.
“Soon, there will a VIP with very top secret information that will come out from the underground, you will need to do everything within your power to protect her safety…”
Lin Sheng looked in a daze at the b.u.g.g.e.r yammering nonstop. The h.e.l.l was by the military’s merit, or that he was a direct command of some person in the Moon Basin, and whatever lineage the VIP had, or what information she held…
That boatload of explanation came with all sorts of expressions, hand motions and gestures.
Lin Sheng then saw the elevator going up and down, and soon a proud-looking long-haired lady in a purple dressed appeared out of it.
As the two leaders were still in the middle of emphasizing the importance of the matter, Lin Sheng looked at Laylee and the rest.
“Shall we?”
Laylee and her team were being shoved by the rest of the military men to the back, and her face was red with anger. The moment they heard Lin Sheng’s question, the four were slightly dumbstruck, and did not know how to react.
“What are you doing?” Ian of Spectral too was aghast as he squinted and looked at Lin Sheng.
The latter did not even bother to acknowledge him, and instead turned to motion at Laylee.
“Come if you want to leave.”
“You dare to disobey military orders!” Ian was fuming with rage. “You better think this through! This is Miga! Every citizen has the duty to be temporarily drafted, and execute military orders!”
They had seen that Lin Sheng had called himself a member of Baine University from the locator device. And as long as they are a Migan, they were all subjected to conscription, and were forbidden from not cooperating.
This was the iron law.
And any dissenters could be subjected to summary execution, and even if things were to return to normal, the Moon Basin will hound them.
Knowing so, this person actually dared to disregard his conscription?
Lin Sheng did not even bother and simply turned and walked outside.
“Stand right there!” Olba gave out a menacing look as he lifted his gun towards Lin Sheng. “You want to leave? Then tell us the way or I’ll put a bullet through your skull!”
Lin Sheng turned and looked at him before smiling, and said to the others.
“If you can take out this two idiots, I’ll tell you the way out.” He pointed at Ian and Olba.
But the group of Darksiders did not move, and instead focused their attention on Lin Sheng. Aside from Laylee, Kushlan and the rest, the malicious intent of the other Darksiders were seeping out of their gaze.
Olba and Ian looked at Lin Sheng as if he was an idiot.
“Why did that not work?” Lin Sheng wondered. The TV dramas did that often enough right?
He then realized something and held his right palm out, and gently slapped it to the right.
With his hand as the nexus, the wall of the right suddenly lit up in green light.
BOOOM!!!
A ma.s.sive explosion rang out, and the wall on the right exploded, and was reduced into nothing. Not just that, even the center of the house on the opposite side of the road had a similar circ.u.mference in the middle of it. And the gap lasted all the way deep into the mist.
Lin Sheng nodded in satisfaction as he kept his still smoking hand behind him, an looked at the group of stunned Darksiders.
“Take them out, and I’ll bring all of you out.” Lin Sheng once again pointed at Olba and Ian.
UGGHHH!!
Just as he finished, a Darksider behind Olba hit him with a sneak attack at the back of his waist. A chilly green spike punctured through Olba’s waist, and blood flowed wildly on the floor.
Olba, with much difficult, turned back in horror, only to see a very familiar face.
On the other hand, Ian too almost suffered a similar fate, but he had managed to react and dodged the blow.
Without much hesitation, these group of Darksiders, already pushed to the brink by coercion and threats started to fall upon the two.
“Ain’t that simple?” Lin Sheng felt that his tactical skills had seen remarkable improvement, and was pleased with himself.
He then laid his eyes on the supposedly very important long-haired girl. Compared to the rest, this Shafreddy lady was in much better mental shape.
And she could see through Lin Sheng and Kasumi’s carefree att.i.tude. With no regard for the military, factions, or country, and having such power to boot. If his mood were to turn sour, things would end up in disaster.
