Chapter 338
Night fell. Gunshots, explosions, roars, and the sounds of fighting could still be heard.
However, it was much better than during the day.
Lu Sheng sat in a rather spacious office.
This was Yu Feiyi's command room.
It was a temporary renovation of the athlete's lounge in the abandoned stadium. It was rather simple and crude.
“Just put up with it. This is still okay… The frontline is located in an abandoned city. There are still many basic facilities that are functional. If we were in the desert, deep in the mountains and forests… it would be difficult to even find a roof to cover your head at times.”
Yu Feiyi poured a cup of coffee for Lu Sheng and sat down in front of him.
Lu Sheng took the cup.
It was instant coffee, but under the boiling water, it was still emitted a faint aroma.Lu Sheng took a sip and felt slightly satisfied. “Thank you, Master.”
“Just a cup of coffee and you're thanking me? You saved so many of us today. How should I thank you? I'll chop off my head for you!” Yu Feiyi glared at him and said impatiently.
Lu Sheng smiled and did not say anything. He continued to drink the coffee in his hand.
Yu Feiyi also poured himself a cup and drank half of it in one gulp. He said emotionally, “But then again, I really have to thank you for today.” Otherwise, if three Level 7 Exotic Beasts entered the camp, it would be a headache… we would've lost the frontier.”
Lu Sheng could not help but be curious. “Master, are Class A Catacombs so dangerous? A group of Level 7 exotic beasts appearing at the entrance of the Catacombs?”
“From the looks of it, it's at least Class AAA. Generally speaking, when a new Catacomb appears, there will be an outbreak period. There will indeed be many high-level exotic beasts appearing. After this outbreak period they stabilize, things will slowly get better… It’s not as bad as you think.”
Lu Sheng nodded.
On the plane, he had heard Qin Huaihu introduce the classification of the Catacombs. He had thought that the Catacomb Yu Feiyi was guarding this time was only Class A and wouldn't be too dangerous. He did not expect his timely arrival would save the day and prevent a major catastrophe.
Even if Yu Feiyi and the others did not die, they would have been forced to abandon the battlefield and retreat in defeat.
“When I heard that you killed the Tong Kui of the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy, I could not believe it. Only now, after I've seen what I saw, can I come to fathom it …”
Yu Feiyi looked at Lu Sheng as if he was looking at a monster. “You, kid, already have the strength to make it into the General Star Rankings. I think you can even get into the top 50 of the List!”
“Is the General Star Rankings similar to the Senior Ranking and the Seven Sages Ranking in Sage Martial Arts Universities?”
“More or less, but the General Star Rankings does not only look at strength. It also looks at your merits, contributions, so on and so forth…”
Yu Feiyi thought for a moment and said, “I'll get someone to tally up the Level 6 and 7 exotic beasts you killed on the battlefield today. When the time comes, the merits and contribution points will all be given to you. These merits and contribution points can be exchanged for resources in the Military. It will be good for your future cultivation.”
“Okay.”
Lu Sheng nodded and did not thank him. He was afraid of Yu Feiyi getting triggered once again.
“Alright, alright. We'll talk when we get back to the headquarters. You just came entered the military. Ther's no need for you to rush things. You can take your time to understand them. Go and rest first. Don't think that the battle is over yet. In the coming month, an even bigger exotic beast tide could break out at any time. Since you're at the front line, do some work for me. You'll have to work hard in the future. …”
Lu Sheng responded and did not say anything else.
He had the Immortal cells and the Natural Breathing Technique. His energy and stamina were almost endless. He didn't feel tired at all. However, he could see that Yu Feiyi was really tired. He was exhausted. Be it mentally or physically.
To be able to exhaust a Level 7 Master to such an extent, one could imagine how hard the battle had been during this period of time.
Lu Sheng walked out of Yu Feiyi's office and rubbed his belly.
He was hungry.
***
The 1182nd Division 's battle line was built around this abandoned stadium. With the stadium as the center, it stretched out to both sides like an eagle spreading its wings.
The main thing to deal with was a crack in the underground cavern less than three kilometers away from the stadium.
On the plane, Lu Sheng had seen the entire Catacombs fissure that looked like a centipede. At least a hundred divisions, big and small, had been used to barely stop it.
The 1182nd Division was just one of them.
“If that's the case, the military has a lot of experts...Who knows how many Level 7 Masters there are, probably in the thousands..."
Lu Sheng thought as he walked a few steps to the left of Yu Feiyi's office.
But it made sense. The military always had the most experts.
Abundant life-and-death struggles and fierce battles were the breeding grounds of martial arts, making it easiest to break through limits and give rise to martial arts masters.
“The military only lacks Level 9 Martial Sages. They aren't in any shortage of Masters and Grandmasters. The marshals of the five major military regions are all top-level Grandmasters, second only to Martial Sages, having countless experts under their command…”
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng seemed to see a brand new and vast stage in front of him.
“Lu...Major General Lu!”
Just as he was thinking, a figure suddenly blocked his way. It was a female soldier in a dark blue military uniform. She was very fair, with big eyes.
“What's the matter?” Lu Sheng stopped and explained, “I haven't been decorated yet. I'm not a Major General yet. You're wrong.”
“You'll be one sooner or later.” The female soldier quickly replied, then pointed in a direction and said, “The division is having food. They're calling you to eat. The canteen is over there!”
Lu Sheng's eyes lit up. He nodded. “Okay, I got it.”
He was really hungry.
The female soldier looked at him, then suddenly stared at his chest. Her cheeks flushed red, and she ran away like she was flying.
Lu Sheng looked at the female soldier's back as she left, then looked at the combat uniform he was wearing. He suddenly realized something.
“It can't be because of… that, right?”
He had been killing on the battlefield during the day. He had casually ripped off his shirt.
Shirtless, he had slaughtered his way through a horde of exotic beasts.
At the time, he had thought it was very cool. Now that he thought about it…
Damn it, there are still many female martial artists in the division, right?
Being naked in front of so many female comrades in broad daylight was no different from being a hooligan in public. It was too shameful!
“Calm down, next time I must calm down...”
Lu Sheng kept reminding himself in his heart, and then he walked in the direction of the canteen that the female soldier had pointed to.
The empty space in the gymnasium was filled with military camps and tents, and lit bonfires.
