A Top Scholar in Everything - Chapter 723 - 709: Astonishing News

Translate to:

War has always been cruel.

Yet many things have to be resolved with war; the human race is built upon countless warriors marching forward and sacrificing in wars.

After seeing the Grandmaster Mu's corpse, Baiyu stayed silent for a while.

Both Grandmaster Long and Mu were brought by him, and now with their deaths, he held some responsibility.

But now.

He had no time to grieve.

After hastily burying Grandmaster Mu, Baiyu continued searching the surroundings, hoping to find some surviving humans.

But unfortunately.

The demons had slaughtered thoroughly; basically, there were no survivors, even those severely wounded couldn't make it through the final explosion.

Soon.

Baiyu found Cha Shan's corpse among the ruins.

The female captain of the Mechanical Corps, though she escaped the demons' chase earlier, still met her end now.

Baiyu's mood at the moment.

Was very complex.

But he couldn't change anything, which was the most frustrating.

"Simulation Realm and demons..."

Murmured Baiyu, after burying Cha Shan's body well, confirmed there were no survivors around, then left alone.

His mission in mind persisted.

To crack the Blood River Simulation Realm.

However.

Right now, the most crucial thing for him was to recover his condition and stay alive in this Simulation Realm.

Without life.

Everything else is just empty talk.

Baiyu recalled the map recorded in his mind, indicating the Sen Tai Technology Building is in the southwest direction at the center of the Military Zone.

The entire Military Zone is quite large.

Sen Tai Technology Company is not situated in the core area; if he moves forward, Baiyu could leave the Simulation Realm.

But he currently didn't want to leave.

Moreover.

The danger of going backward is not less than the danger of advancing.

There must be demons and aliens guarding the edges of the Simulation Realm; initially, he had Mechanical Fortress to fend off the demons, no need to worry.

But now he's traveling on foot.

Once he crosses, he might be shredded to pieces by the demons swarming like tides.

After a short rest.

Baiyu went towards the center.

Possibly due to the recent fierce battle, the demons around were significantly less, Baiyu encountered no demon attacks along the way.

Soon.

Night was approaching.

Baiyu managed to get some enough food to satisfy his hunger from a ramshackle supermarket, but that's about it.

Wishing for something that quickly replenishes food supplies.

Unless he finds the reserve warehouse of each battle group in the Military Zone, it's not feasible.

The supermarket food is only enough for Baiyu to stave off hunger.

In the Simulation Realm, his Blood Qi recovered incredibly slowly, taking several hours without fully restoring.

Devouring the fast food in large mouthfuls.

The hunger within Baiyu gradually disappeared.

"Baiyu, now I'm feeling, it's better if we leave first. This place is really not for long stays."

In his mind.

The voice of Cang Yan suddenly sounded.

Baiyu replied, "Wanting to retreat now is not an option; in Mountain City, there is no safe place."

Although he didn't know what the situation outside was like.

However.

For the City Guard Army to withstand so many Great Demon attacks is absolutely not easy.

Maybe now the situation in Mountain City is not much better than the Simulation Realm.

Right now we can only wait for Qiu Yun and He Jin's armies to return, only then can Mountain City's siege be lifted.

Currently in the Simulation Realm.

It might be even safer here than inside Mountain City.

After resting in the supermarket for a while, Baiyu was about to leave, but suddenly there was a commotion inside the supermarket.

Baiyu immediately became alert.

In such an environment, the probability of encountering an attack is not small, and the people in the Simulation Realm, cannot be regarded as companions.

Because you do not know if the humans on the other side, their body and spirit are still healthy.

Baiyu bypassed the supermarket shelves.

In the crooked obstacles, a menacing Demon Race member was wandering among the shelves, appearing extremely eerie and terrifying in the dark environment.

Bang!

In the darkness, bright gunfire rang out. π—³πš›π—²π•–π•¨π•–π—―πš—πš˜π•§π•–π—Ή.π—°π—Όπ•ž

A bullet made of special alloy, filled with uranium fuel, pierced through the head of the Demon Race.

Thud.

After the body fell down, a middle-aged man emerged from the shadows.

He was tightly clutching a strangely styled large gun, dressed in simple and convenient clothes for mobility, with military boots at his feet.

Most striking characteristic.

Was that the man had only one eye, the other was covered with a black eye patch, evidently suffering from vision problems.

However.

Judging by his shooting just now, even with only one eye, it didn't affect his aim.

Moreover, his perception was exceedingly sharp.

After killing this wandering Demon Race member, he immediately raised his gun, aiming into the darkness where Baiyu was, eyes full of vigilance.

This scene surprised Baiyu a bit.

He hadn't made any noise since earlier, concealing himself perfectly, especially in such a dark environment, making it even harder to be discovered.

The opponent must have some reconnaissance ability.

Upon witnessing this situation, Baiyu proactively stepped out from the dark, "I harbor no malice. We are both people in distress in the Simulation Realm, having one more friend is better than one more enemy."

Hearing this, the man's scrutinizing gaze lingered on Baiyu for a long time before finally lowering his gun.

Items in the supermarket, one or two people can't possibly finish them.

The man didn't mind teaming up with Baiyu.

Soon.

The two started exchanging some information.

From the man, Baiyu learned that the other was a Bounty Hunter.

The reason he came to the Simulation Realm was because Mountain City had already fallen.

Of course, Baiyu wasn't quite convinced.

However.

This Bounty Hunter named Anton was quite certain.

He chewed on the instant noodles in his hand and said, "The demon army's losses were over ten times ours, later the regular army of Mountain City came back from outside the city, almost annihilating the demon and alien coalition forces.

We all thought we had won.

However, the next morning, more demons launched their charge from outside the city.

These demons are stronger, more destructive, and peculiar.

Mountain City exhausted all its troops, afterward when the situation became irreversible, they could only open the teleportation gate of the Shelter, evacuating civilians."

Anton's tone was filled with undeniable sorrow.

What Baiyu heard grew increasingly absurd.

He had left for a while, how could so many things have happened?

"How long has it been since the war started?" Baiyu asked the Bounty Hunter, preparing to act immediately if he detected any hint of lying and capture him first, then thoroughly interrogate.

"Nearly a month now, with battles occurring daily, Mountain City's suburban areas became the main battlefield, it's essentially a meat grinder."

Anton said with a sigh.

Although his words were quite preposterous.

Baiyu, indeed couldn't detect any indication of falseness.

"Heh, I know you don't believe me, but you can go out and see what Mountain City is like now.

The entire city has become a colossal war.

This time the demons are attacking with full force, engaging us in a desperate battle.

Unfortunately.

Many people still indulge in the fantasy of Mountain City's undefeated defense."
