"Hey, it seems this time our property damage won’t be too significant." Luo Qianqian and her group drove to the closest point to The Gate of Another World, watching the still unopened gate, feeling slightly uneasy.

This time, it’s not just going to be Exotic Beasts coming.

And surprisingly, the surroundings are farmland, with large areas of wasteland in the distance. There are barely a few scattered houses far away, which barely even constitute a village.

"Yeah." Wei Ming touched the jade pendant around his neck, looking at Luo Qianqian with an indescribable softness in his eyes.

Everyone who followed over wore a jade pendant around their neck, a soul-infused pendant. Compared to the old masters, he and Deng Ming understood the importance of these soul-infused pendants better.

Although they hadn’t seen Luo Qianqian and her group eliminate the monsters firsthand, they couldn’t deny hearing Huangfu Yihui’s most complete version of the story, which was much more reliable than the summarized versions.

"I still feel particularly nervous, even more than other times when I’m on a mission." This time Wei Guang was also sent out by Old Master Wei, the two brothers stood together looking at the sky, both feeling a bit uneasy.

Beside them stood Ye Liang, Ye Liang, as the brother-in-law of these two brothers-in-law, was also sent out. If Chang Xi weren’t taking care of the children, he might have insisted on coming as well.

Even though they know it’s risky, experiencing it is growth.

The sky was gloomy, but the earth hadn’t completely darkened. Despite the emptiness, the bustling crowd had set up lights.

Recent research reports on Exotic Beasts had already been sent to various countries through Sanctuary, for developing countermeasures.

And the most prominent point in the report was the beasts’ fear of light.

Of course, they didn’t call them Exotic Beasts. They gave it a name, ’Hei Gangla.’

It was indeed black enough, after all, not every monster can possess a colorful black.

It was strong enough too, given Feng Xi’s modified weapons couldn’t inflict a shred of damage despite various maneuvers.

But still, the "la" in the name felt somewhat unclear.

Is this thing a la la? Or is this matter dragged out? Or perhaps it’s female?

It makes no sense at all.

As for those preparations, Luo Qianqian felt somewhat unnecessary, but couldn’t resist the mandatory requirements from above; they felt the worst outcome might just be a few more, better be prepared.

There’s no way Luo Qianqian could say it was just a Primary Level Exotic Beasts.

She could only let them continue their efforts.

Looking at the sky, Luo Qianqian sighed softly, "Actually, I feel my whole life is pretty fantastical, don’t you think?"

From a mysterious rebirth at childhood, to unexpected relatives from father’s family emerging in elementary school, to involvements in the Han Family during middle school, serving in high school, and even more exciting in college, with not just a fiancé but successfully entering another world.

If these happenings occurred to an average person, it would simply be unimaginable.

"Why saying whole life already? Your future is still long ahead." Deng Ming slightly frowned at Luo Qianqian’s words, "If you’re saying such things now, what about us? Every one here is older than you..." His expression turned a bit stiff here.

Indeed, despite everyone being older than this young girl, they were protective of her guiding them through defending the country.

The most crucial part was, she’s just newly turned adult this year... It felt like their previous half-life seemed to be wasted.

There’s still a feel that Luo Qianqian’s remark seemed somewhat pessimistic now.

"Exactly, don’t overthink." Ye Liang also chimed in.

This young girl had changed significantly from the girl asking for his help before, but these changes were good, allowing their couple some reassurance.

The sky became increasingly sombre, with two days left until the rumored apocalypse.

That evening, Luo Qianqian brought over a huge pile of ingredients from Nine Heavens Pavilion, suddenly transforming the tense environment into a self-service barbecue party, even with various delicious foods, making those assisting Luo Qianqian bask in joy.

They understood even more that this was Luo Qianqian comforting them.

Attending this troop had undergone a stringent selection, even stricter than entering special forces; standing here was a proud achievement.

Their youthful faces were filled with pride, notwithstanding their nervous expressions, more represented a sense of responsibility and mission.

Their duty was to protect the country, to which they contributed all their mission!

Luo Qianqian gripped a lollipop in her hand, sitting on the ground slowly munching.

Her red tracksuit stayed as striking as it did when she set out.

As Fire Attribute cultivators, Yan and Mo naturally weren’t afraid of the cold, as a Water Attribute, Luo Qianqian had already realized her invulnerability to cold.

The three of them merely wore a layer of tracksuit, without needing Spiritual Energy for protection.

Meanwhile, Yann Yao with Water Attribute and Huangfu Yihui with Wood Attribute were surrounded by Spiritual Energy, though dressed similarly in tracksuits, they layered underneath with thermal underwear.

"Qhianqhian, this is really amazing. I’ll definitely stock up later?" Wei Ming admiringly received the thermal pants gifted by Luo Qianqian, amazed by such a wonderful item. How could there be something so small sticking tightly to the body, even with added velvet inside, keeping his legs warm? As he rushed to thank, it felt like a fantastic invention, with this he didn’t need long johns anymore, didn’t need padded pants, just one pair sufficed!

Women are truly devils for devising such an invention?

Are men really fools believing women wear skirts bare or with just a pair of stockings in winter?

...You’re the devil, even thinking of hoarding this thing, not afraid of not finding a wife in the future.

Luo Qianqian silently rolled her eyes, "You won’t fall for women’s clothes, will you? ... But, well, I won’t discriminate, I know a clothing store that rents cosplay outfits, you can try it..."

"Not talking to you anymore." Wei Ming rolled his eyes at Luo Qianqian’s words, reached out, "Give me two more, I’ll show them to my brother and others."

Luo Qianqian still had quite a few, tossing him a few pairs. After all, their sisters-in-law didn’t need them now.

Unexpectedly, after Wei Ming went to show off and recommend this thing to familiar people, from then on, military supplies included an item named thermal pants...

Though it was given a very general name, called thermal pants.
