Chapter 589: Heroes Respect Heroes

They had taken one week to travel to the Lop Nur remains. Daoyuan Cla.s.s students from all over the country had set off in batches. The first and second batch would have most likely reached the ruins by now.

It was a coincidence that the Lop Nur remains were discovered. After all, it was a depopulated zone. It had even been used as a test site for nuclear weapons. Even scientists rarely visited the place.

No one knew when the Lop Nur remains started to show signs. When it was discovered, it was close to opening.

Nie Ting allowed all those in the Daoyuan Cla.s.s whose abilities were above Cla.s.s E to partic.i.p.ate. One reason was to allow them to train. Furthermore, there had been more and more intruders on the borders recently. No one knew where the Puppet Master and the Bishop of the Department of Faith Theory had gone. Even Nie Ting did not dare to carelessly punish an individual as an example to others.

Thus, the Daoyuan Cla.s.s was allowed to enter. The responsibility of the Heavenly Network members, on the other hand, was to defend their territory.

Lu Shu did not pay attention to the sarcasm from Jiang Feng and the other students. He tried to coax information from them. “Have you heard of Lu Xiaoyu from the Luo City Daoyuan Cla.s.s?”

Jiang Feng’s and Li Jianren’s expression changed. “We cannot defeat Lu Xiaoyu, but that does not explain the problem. She is already a Cla.s.s C! It’s not embarra.s.sing if we can’t defeat her! Don’t think that just because we lost to her, means that we don’t dare to teach you a lesson. It’s the same if you partic.i.p.ate in the military training. Besides, it is normal to get injured during actual combat practice.”

“From Jiang Feng’s distress, +199!”

“From Li Jianren’s distress, +199!”

When Lu Shu saw these distress points, he was dumbfounded. So Lu Xiaoyu had sent these two to the hospital…

He had only wanted to gather information on how Lu Xiaoyu was doing in the military training. But these two had thought that Lu Shu was using Lu Xiaoyu to make fun of them…

“You can’t defeat her with so many people? Did you specifically target her?” Lu Shu was curious. If Lu Xiaoyu did not make use of Anthony and Johnson, she had the strength of an ordinary Cla.s.s C, nothing else was special about her.

One of the students was slightly more frank. “We have considered many methods to target her, but we had too little time to work together and thus, we could not establish a tacit agreement among all of us. Her abilities far surpa.s.s that of ours too. She can easily break apart our formation. Now, that group of girls have good teamwork and are belligerent. They have become especially fierce and aggressive. We can’t defeat them.”

Lu Shu smacked his lips. So that was the situation in the military camp.

Now, he knew where the distress points from boys that Lu Xiaoyu had earned came from. She had earned them from beating up people during the practice combat. Lu Shu was somewhat remorseful. If he had known that practice combat could earn so many distress points, he would have volunteered to join the military training a long time ago…

“Although we were beaten up by her, we still respect her,” said Jiang Feng coldly. “She doesn’t use her bloodline to convince others. She uses her actual strength.”

Lu Shu was being ridiculed. Li Jianren laughed. “That’s right, as a guy, I really respect them. They have turned from weak sheep to aggressive tigers. Lu Xiaoyu’s contributions cannot go unnoticed.”

Lu Shu felt as if these people respected Lu Xiaoyu and the other girls as heroes. Lu Shu felt that this was somewhat odd…

“I heard that Lu Xiaoyu has an even more impressive brother called Lu Shu. He is a Cla.s.s C and is even a Major! Lu Xiaoyu often talks about him. It seems like no one can beat Lu Shu. Apparently, he had gone on missions with Cla.s.s A geniuses. What’s more legendary is that an expert overseas had issued an arrest warrant for him! Who knows when another person like him will appear. This is really the era of heroes,” Jiang Feng sighed.

Lu Shu felt even more strange. “Yes, yes, yes, the era of heroes… this Lu Shu must be very talented and elegant. Furthermore, he is very rich although he is so young… let me think of more praise for him…”

Jiang Feng said scornfully, “What does being a hero have to do with being rich?”

“No, no, no, this…” Lu Shu emphasized.

Jiang Feng was confused.

Li Jianren laughed coldly. “You speak as if you are Lu Shu himself.”

Ever since Lu Shu had returned from the Collection of G.o.ds, all the information regarding him, had been kept cla.s.sified. Thus, they could not even find a portrait of Lu Shu after hearing about his achievements. Furthermore, Jiang Feng’s information was outdated. Lu Shu was already a Captain.

The thoughts and emotions of the students in the Daoyuan Cla.s.s were very complex. Although they acknowledged Lu Shu’s abilities and thought of him as a hero, but… in a nutsh.e.l.l, their thoughts and emotions were very complex.

The vehicle continued to head west. The road opened up to a boundless desert. When Lu Shu began to see the military trucks of the same type, he knew that they were not too far away from Lop Nur.

The surrounding land looked weirder and weirder. The vastness of Earth and the mysterious Mother Nature was amazing. The lush and green scenery had given way to yellow sand and odd Yardang landforms. It was as if they had entered another world.

The vehicle slowed to a stop. Lu Shu could hear someone outside saying, “Get off and show your doc.u.ments.”

The drivers told the eight people sitting behind, “Everyone has to get down and undergo a doc.u.ment check. After going in, we can go by foot.”

Lu Shu jumped off the military truck and looked round. A ma.s.sive campsite had been built in this so-called depopulated zone.

This place had become overcrowded with people…

Lu Shu looked up at the sky. Dusk was approaching. He prepared to take out his doc.u.ments for the officials to check. Jiang Feng and the others were already one step ahead.

Everyone pa.s.sed through very smoothly. After their doc.u.ments were scanned, their military rank and basic particulars would appear. But when it came to Lu Shu, the two soldiers in charge was dumbfounded. The word “top-secret” appeared! They could not see anything!

They could not see his name, age, gender and even rank! There was only a line of words at the bottom of the page. All access except for Cla.s.s A-restricted zones! Furthermore, Nie Ting’s signature was there!

The two soldiers looked at each other helplessly. They bowed at Lu Shu. “This… please enter.”

Lu Shu bowed. “Thank you.”

When Jiang Feng and the others saw Lu Shu walk in, they were dumbfounded. If Lu Shu was really the son of an influential family as they had thought, then how would they explain the “top-secret”?

This was not the treatment that those families would receive. Nie Ting’s signature made them even more shocked. All the Daoyuan Cla.s.s students looked up to Nie Ting.
