Liu Hongyu was dead.
Xiaoyu's crisis was temporarily resolved.
Xu Tianci and the Liu family had become mortal enemies.
After a simple sweep of the scene, he put the broken chariot and the corpses into his spatial ring.
He then brought over a few more corpses of the barbaric bulls.
Xu Tianci nodded in satisfaction after turning the scene into a magical beast.
Xu Tianci and Xiao Yu headed toward the command center of Area D-23.
They had to get there as soon as possible.
Xu Tianci carried Xiaoyu on his back the entire way, as if he was carrying his little sister when he was young.
He could feel that his sister had not yet adapted to the huge change.
"Xiaoyu, what happened today has allowed you to fully experience this world. You must remember, we can't take the initiative to harm others, and we can't easily trust others."
Xu Tianci's arms tightened around Xiaoyu.
"Yes!"
Xiaoyu leaned over and nodded her head.
Xu Tianci believed that with the girl's intelligence, she would soon figure out the key point.
An hour later, after making sure that they were far away from the attack site and no one would suspect them, Xu Tianci stopped.
"Xiaoyu. How far are we from the D-23 command center?"
"Brother, there are still 21.5 kilometers left. At our speed, we'll be there in less than an hour,"
Xiaoyu took out a small handheld computer and took a look.
This handheld computer was sent down along with the proof of identity of the aristocrats.
Its functions were even more powerful than ordinary military equipment.
"Brother, why did manager Liu try to kill me?"
Even now, Xiaoyu still couldn't understand why the other party was trying so hard to harm her.
"Do you still remember the phone you picked up?"
Xiao Yu nodded, and Xu Tianci continued, "I'm guessing it has something to do with the text message on that phone."
She suddenly remembered when she mentioned the text message.
"Is there anything wrong with that message?" she asked, puzzled. I remember that the content is three days later, at midnight, at the foot of Luo Qiu mountain."
"And you even asked me for the name of the person who sent the message."
"I said his name was Ning-something-Fan."
Xu Tianci nodded and said, "It should be here." Judging from the time, this should be information about a secret transaction. The transaction time is tomorrow."
"No matter what, something big will happen tomorrow!"
Hearing her brother's words, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. "That's right. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to get rid of me. But the Liu family will definitely find us. What should we do then?"
"Don't worry. After this mission is over, I will raise my strength to a sorcerer. We won't be afraid of them then."
Xu Tianci touched the little girl's hair.
"I also want to become stronger!" Xiaoyu promised.
At the same time, he made up his mind to work hard and not be a burden to his brother.
...
Another hour passed.
The brother and sister finally arrived at the command center in Area D-23.
On the way back, they actually met a few members of the same group.
Including the brother and sister, there were more than 30 people in the group, and only six of them returned.
Although he didn't have any specific information on those people, he feared they were in bad shape.
In the command center.
In the interrogation room.
A second lieutenant was taking notes of the people Xu Tianci had left behind.
After a round of comparison, their statements were basically the same.
During the patrol, the team in charge of Area 182 was attacked by the savage earth bulls.
After verification, the officer who led the team received a distress message from He Guangming.
In the end, it was just an ordinary magical beast attack.
Such incidents were commonplace in city defense patrol missions, and these officers had long been accustomed to it.
"Alright, you guys go and rest first. Someone will assign you new tasks later.
Then, he waved his hand, signaling for the six to leave.
Xu Tianci stepped forward and saluted.
"Sir, I have an emergency and would like to see regimental commander, An."
"See the regimental commander?"
The officer looked up at Xu Tianci and said, "If there's anything, you can just report it to me."
"This matter is crucial. I must personally meet the regimental commander."
Xu Tianci's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
The second lieutenant frowned.
The young man in front of him was too ignorant.
Who could meet the regimental commander just because they wanted to?
He had been in the military camp for so long, but General An had never spoken to him personally.
You're just a commoner, yet you want to see the regimental commander.
He really didn't know what he was talking about.
However, there were other people in the interrogation room at this time, and he could not just send the young man in front of him away.
"Xu Tianci," the second lieutenant said in a deep voice. "You have to know that this is a military camp. In the military, it's taboo to report things above one's rank. Since you're here, you have to follow the rules. With your current rank, it's best if you don't even think about meeting the regimental commander."
"Then, Sir, may I ask how I can upgrade this rank?" Xu Tianci asked.
The second lieutenant suppressed his anger and raised two fingers.
"There are two ways. First, you can gain military merits. Whether it's killing magical beasts or doing missions, you can gain military merits. Once your military merits reach a certain level, you can see the army commander.
"Second, you must have an Empire's advanced identity card. You must be at least a nobleman."
In the second lieutenant's eyes, Xu Tianci didn't meet either of the conditions.
In terms of military merits, a new soldier would probably not be able to reach that level every eight to ten years.
It was even more impossible for him to obtain a high-level identity.
As early as the recruitment, the identity and rank of aristocrats and above would be screened, and the defense personnel would only be invited by civilians to participate.
Xu Tianci felt helpless.
He thought of himself as a low-profile person.
However, he wanted to keep a low profile, but the other party wouldn't let him!
Alright, since that's the case.
I've laid my cards on the table, and I'm not pretending anymore. My identity and rank meet the aristocrat requirement you mentioned.
A proud smile appeared on the second lieutenant's face.
A gold-stamped certificate appeared in front of him.
"Your Excellency, is this the proof of identity you were talking about?"
Xu Tianci handed his proof of identity to the man.
"This... This really is a certificate of nobility!"
The officer was stunned for a moment; then he quickly looked at the name and photo column.
He raised his head and compared it to the person standing before him.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
After making sure everything was in order, the officer stood up and saluted Xu Tianci.
The other four people who came in with Xu Tianci were a little confused.
They had never thought there would be a high-level person on their team.
The second lieutenant, on the other hand, did not think so at all.
He knew how difficult it was to be promoted to a noble.
"Your Excellency, please follow me!"
He handed the certificate back to Xu Tianci respectfully.
The second lieutenant bowed and led the way.
