Chapter 683: Signal Laid, Weapons Assembled

Chapter 683 Signal Setup and Weapons Assembled

Richard opened his arms and moved in, "Yue Yue, long time no see! How about a warm [hug?]"

Before he could finish, Shen Que kicked him aside, sending him sprawling flat on the ground like a pancake. "You wanna die, punk?"

Fu Yanqi stepped forward, "Yue Yue, let me check your current soul condition."

Wu Yue nodded, "Okay."

Shen Que stood nearby, watching Richard and Fu Yanqi approach Wu Yue to examine her soul and psychic energy, his entire demeanor radiating displeasure.

As soon as Richard released his psychic energy, he encountered a powerful resistance. Feeling the familiar aura of the True Dragon's Dominance, his expression turned complicated.

Shen Que had completely marked Wu Yue with his own psychic energy; Wu Yue's Psychic Core was saturated with Shen Que's presence.

Richard exclaimed, "What have you done to Wu Yue?! You've got some nerve now, doing something so shameless."

Shen Que glanced sideways, "The order realm is full of sinister beings everywhere. Wu Yue had her Psychic Core taken before and has no way to protect herself."

Richard said, "But she has a Psychic Core now. Can't you withdraw your energy?"

Wu Yue blinked in surprise, "Wait, you can withdraw it?"

Shen Que's expression instantly stiffened. He looked at Richard with a dangerous glare, a silent warning: Richard, shut up.

Richard shrugged, "I can't stand how despicable and vulgar you are."

Shen Que retorted, "None of your business! This is just a little marital fun between my wife and me!"

As the reunion continued, the scene teetered on the brink of chaos.

Jiang Huaizhi interjected, "Let's focus on the main task."

After a brief physical check, the advance team confirmed that they were only temporarily affected by suppressed psychic energy and had no other physical discomfort.

Before arriving, Lu Ling had already developed a plan based on the differences in gravity and trace elements between the two realms, conducting extensive adaptation training for the advance team members.

The training proved highly effective. Everyone adapted well to crossing between the realms.

Besides those exchanging greetings, Jian Suiyu, Zhang Ze, Jie Chen, Jiang Mubai, Shang Baiyi, and Jiang Qian, immediately began assembling all the latest Alliance equipment they had brought.

The signal station initially set up by Shen Que and Wu Chong when they first arrived was relatively simple and had been destroyed as soon as they detected the order realm. Jian Suiyu and Zhang Ze were now building a more precise signal tower that would allow the Alliance to accurately locate the order realm.

Meanwhile, under maximum load capacity, besides the equipment for the signal station, they also brought more reconnaissance drones.

Building on the existing drone technology, Jian Suiyu's latest self-destruct drones had explosive power comparable to that of a crystal core rocket launcher.

After Lu Ling and Jiang Cheng returned to the Alliance, the Tianlang Star directly incorporated its entire unit into the military department. Together with the Blaze Army, the Alliance now had six highly capable and combat-ready armies.

With the discovery of raw Moonfall Ore deposits and the completion of the first, second, and third phases of Fire Crystal mining, the Alliance fully initiated its exotic beast farming program, mass-breeding high-level exotic beasts to extract crystal cores for the development of new high-temperature resistant weapons with immense destructive power.

Jie Chen, Jiang Mubai, and Jiang Qian quickly assembled the Alliance's latest Fire Crystal core weapons. After these weapons were mass-produced on assembly lines, the highest-grade SSS-level Moonfall Ore was attached to them to enhance their power.

Using firsthand intelligence about the order realm brought back by Lu Ling, the Alliance achieved independent production of SSS-level weapons and independent research and development of the drilling and attachment of ore to the weapons.

Technology is advancing rapidly, our population is thriving, and our military is stronger than ever—this is the Alliance's golden age!

In just half a year, the entire Alliance has come together as one, pouring their hearts into it and working together like never before.

They have achieved a huge leap forward in manpower, resources, finances, and technological capability—a feat that would have taken a full five years in the past.

The signals are all set up, self-destructing drones and weapons are assembled, and everyone is ready.

Lu Ling looked at Wu Yue, whose eyes instantly filled with tears. Lu Ling opened her arms and embraced her tightly.

"Baby, you've been through so much."

Wu Yue held onto Lu Ling tightly, her voice choked with sobs, too choked up to speak.

Lu Ling gently patted her back, "Don't cry, you mustn't be so upset right now.

As soon as we confirm our landing, the military will move in quickly through the dungeon channel.

Once the two-way channel is confirmed to be open, you'll leave immediately. Your father will be waiting on the other side to receive you—Yi Xue, Zhou Qianfeng, and everyone else are waiting for you to come home.

As long as you return to the human world, the White Tiger Army, the Taoist Church, the Secretariat, and Sirius will all protect you with everything they've got.

This time, we won't let anyone take you away again."

Wu Yue's voice was muffled, "But Lu Xiu's situation hasn't been handled yet."

Lu Ling patted her head, "Yue Yue, this time, I have to put you first—only you.

As for others, if we can save them, we will. If we can't, there's nothing I can do.

I've spent so many years helping people, but now, I just want to protect my one and only daughter."

Wu Yue looked at Lu Ling, touched, tears streaming down her face.

Lu Ling smiled and pinched her cheek, "You still haven't called me 'Mom'."

Wu Yue blushed slightly and said shyly, "Mom."

Shen Que, who had been watching from the side with his displeasure reaching its peak, let out a "Tch," clearly annoyed.

Shen Que snapped, "Let's focus on the task at hand!"

Lu Ling raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong? Jealous?"

Shen Que gritted his teeth, "No."

Lu Ling smiled, "Getting jealous already? Well, your days of jealousy are just beginning."

Luo Shen seized the moment to stir the pot, "When this guy first arrived, he even reached into Yue Yue's shoulder and messed around."

Shen Que retorted, "...That was to plant a tracking device in Wu Yue's body!"

After saying this, Shen Que looked at Wu Yue sulkily, his eyes shining with expectation.

Wu Yue let go of Lu Ling and walked over to Shen Que, who immediately reached out to gently wipe her tears.

"Don't cry. You shouldn't cry while pregnant—it'll hurt your eyes."

Wu Yue smiled and wrapped her arm around his. Shen Que kept his gaze fixed on her, his gaze soft and meaningful.

The people nearby knew that it had been a long time since they last met, and after spending only a few days together, Shen Que was leading a team to fight the End of Days battle, inevitably making them both reluctant to part.

Lu Ling's gaze fell on Shen Que, and Jiang Huai Zhi was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ling, "Chu Ci Xie never gave us any leeway from the start. Yue Yue and his father were mere vessels, and I have never been good at fighting."

"In the end, whether it’s against him or the Order, the economic operations will collapse sooner or later, and we will be the ones to lose."

"But I didn't expect such a significant change with Shen Que. The ultimate weapon that should have been in Chu Ci Xie's hands is now being led by him to fight this End of Days battle."

Jiang Huai Zhi, "... He calculated everything, but he still couldn’t predict that Shen Que would be so love-struck."

Fu Yan Qi, "We should say, thank you to the love-struck brain for keeping half the metaphysical circle alive."

Shen Que came to me to calculate whether Wu Yue still loved him and if they could reconcile smoothly.

Hexagrams, Eight Characters, I Ching, Qi Men Dun Jia—anything related or not, he had it all calculated.

Jiang Mu Bai agreed, "He even asked me to read Tarot cards and do astrology for him."

Wu Chong, "And witchcraft, black magic."

Jie Chen, "Thank you, Master Shen, for the incense money you brought to the temple."

Richard was unhappy, "Why didn’t you come to me? Do you look down on our Cupid?"

Shen Que, "... Shut up!!" Ahh!!
