Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 494 - 245: The Biggest Wave of Skill Points!!

Chapter 494: Chapter 245: The Biggest Wave of Skill Points!!

He pounded his chest hard, trying to express something, yet felt that any words seemed pale.

Lin Kang still had that cold, hard expression, but the heaviness in his eyes had already dissipated. He nodded firmly at Fang Qingyu, "You’ve worked hard. Is it completely clean inside?"

"Yes, the core is removed, the rest can be handed over to the follow-up troops for cleanup."

Fang Qingyu kept it concise.

"Alright." Lin Kang said solemnly, "We will be fully responsible for the subsequent cleanup and appeasement work. You’ve just been through a great battle, go get some rest first. The battle zone you initially supported... I heard it’s basically calmed down?"

Fang Qingyu nodded: "They said it was resolved, probably not a big issue. We have to go first, friends are waiting outside."

"Okay! Take care!" Lin Kang wasted no words.

The farewell was simple and crisp, without much sentimental dialogue.

Fang Qingyu responded to everyone’s gaze and words one by one.

Holding Jiang Wei’s hand, he turned and blended into the slightly chaotic but gradually orderly crowd at the edge of the city.

Soon, they found Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, and Lu Jiuyuan by a relatively intact street.

The three were leaning against a temporarily requisitioned military jeep.

They carried the scent of battle smoke, but their spirits seemed alright.

"God Fang! Xiaojiang!" Chu Kuanglan shouted the loudest, waving from afar, "Over here!"

"Is it solved?"

Wei Banmeng’s cold eyes scanned over Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei, seeing them exhausted but stable, she felt relieved.

"Yes." Fang Qingyu approached, "How about on your side?"

"Hey, don’t even mention it!"

Chu Kuanglan immediately perked up, opening the car door to signal everyone to get in, while starting to speak incessantly.

"The three of us finally stopped a ’Rotting Swamp Giant Crocodile’ that just crawled out of the sewer, that thing had tough skin and was poisonous! Old Lu’s sword struck it and sparks flew! In the end, it was Wei Shimei’s Ice Soul Blade Domain that froze it solid, and then I smashed its head with a ’Molten Rock Bursting Fist’, only then did it crack open. Damn, its stinking brain matter sprayed all over me. After three showers, I still feel the smell..."

He described vividly, with exaggerated expressions.

Causing Lu Jiuyuan to shake his head helplessly, and Wei Banmeng’s mouth to twitch slightly.

Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei sat in the back seat as the car started.

"How are things on Liu Hanyan’s and Shikong’s side?"

Fang Qingyu leaned back in the seat, closed his eyes to rest, and asked casually.

"Just received synchronized information from Shangjing." Wei Banmeng looked at the tablet in her hand, "The Life Ghost Tide encountered by Liu Hanyan’s Team has ended. She and Situ Ming are out of life-threatening danger, but Situ Ming’s left arm is permanently severed, though he is conscious."

"Liu Hanyan’s True Intent is severely depleted and needs rest. Shikong’s team has also ended. Shi Kaishan is critically injured but saved, Shikong Golden Body was broken, internal organs shocked, also need time to recover. Both teams have already set off back to Shangjing for recuperation this morning."

Fang Qingyu listened and nodded silently.

The cost was heavy, but being able to return alive is a blessing within misfortune.

Ghost Festival is like a giant meat grinder.

"Let’s stay a few more days."

Fang Qingyu opened his eyes, looking at the bustling city scene outside the car window.

"Once Anjiang Province is completely stabilized, and Qingjian’s follow-up cleanup enters the right track, we will return."

Hong Qitian’s words in the Black Pine Ridge Force Field echoed in his ears.

The frontline at the Arctic Circle, the final destination of the Hidden Dragon Plan members.

He needs to return to Shangjing to learn more and needs time to digest the information about the Arctic defense line and what Jiang Wei revealed about the Gods, and prepare for it.

In the next few days.

As Fang Qingyu expected, it was nearly an insane non-stop rotation.

The Anjiang Province battle zone, after pulling out the biggest thorn at Black Pine Ridge, saw the pressure sharply reduced, but residual Life Ghost fluctuation points still emerged one after another, requiring experts to oversee and clear them.

In Qingjian City, although the core of the massive Tree Ghost Nest was destroyed.

The number of derivative monsters within the Force Field range was astonishing, and the cleanup work was immensely heavy.

Fang Qingyu and Wei Banmeng had almost no time to breathe.

If not urgently dispatched to support somewhere in Anjiang Province, they were assisting Lin Kang in Qingjian with high-intensity cleanup tasks.

Often as soon as one was handled, the communicator immediately rang, pointing to the next coordinate.

They didn’t even have time to sit down properly with Qin Hui, Old Qiao, and those old teammates for a drink and catch-up.

Either he was on a mission, or Qin Hui and the others were leading a team in some district conducting a carpet search, not even meeting face to face. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Only able to ask a few hurried questions through the communicator and tell each other to take care.

In the information torrent of the real world.

Quietly, changes were happening.

Although the Federation’s public opinion control remains tight and efficient, this time the Ghost Festival covered too wide a range and was too intense, with too many witnesses.

On major online platforms, various "strange news" posts kept emerging, though quickly deleted, yet persistently sprung up like weeds.

[Coordinates Jiangzhou City’s eastern outskirts! Witnessed firsthand! A creature over three meters tall covered in boils crawled out of an abandoned factory and was shattered by a flash of golden light! Pictures available for proof! (images deleted)]

[Holy crap! There was a ghost in our neighborhood last night! A shadow in white floated by, the Security Guard uncle punched it, and the shadow disbanded! The uncle’s fist was glowing!]
