Chapter 1241: Chapter 1241: Old Friends of The Ancient Sword (Large Chapter for Monthly Passes)

Buzz——

The piercing alarm echoed under the silent sky, the night wind blowing on the upright poster in the garden that read ’Wilderness Wanderer Immigration Act Interpretation Site’.

The simply tightened supporting rod of the poster swayed squeakily in the gust, while behind the poster, under some old and faded tents, people were frantically packing up their belongings.

"Jessie,"

A little girl with pumpkin short hair, somewhat panic-stricken, looked at the ponytailed girl who was quickly packing up, "What’s happening?"

"They say there are rebels and mercenary corps entering the city from the north,"

Jessie smiled at the little girl before her, "The City Government issued a notice telling us to find a nearby bomb shelter as soon as possible or take refuge in a sturdy building, don’t worry, there’s a newly built bomb shelter invested by Wilderness Wanderers nearby, we’ll go there right now."

"Alright."

The little girl with pumpkin hair saw the gentle and confident smile of the woman in front, her nervousness easing slightly, nodding lightly.

Jessie nodded lightly too, then turned her gaze, looking at the companions beside her who were hurriedly gathering crucial items, she shouted loudly,

"Everyone, just take tablets and other valuables, leave the plastic flyers and other promotional materials here, the local Wilderness Wanderers will help us look after them."

"Jessie,"

At this time, a delicate and thin young man who had already found his stuff lifted his head, looked at Jessie hesitantly saying, "My mom said the Aston District might be dangerous, and I should find a way to get back to the Crown District."

"The bomb shelter is in the direction of the Crown District, let’s head there first, if everything’s fine, we’ll see if we can get you a ride back,"

Jessie replied without hesitation. At this moment, the alarm sounded even shriller in the air, she glanced at everyone, shouting loudly, "Is everyone packed up? We’re leaving here now, it’s too open."

"All set.""Coming.""Hold on, Jessie."

Voices resounding quickly.

The night’s wind tossed the ponytail and the strands of hair on the woman’s forehead, she raised her head, looking towards the center of the park.

Standing there was a massive statue.

It was a lean man with a scimitar and short sword, waving to clear the thorns in front and looking up at the distance.

That was the Legendary Leader of the Wilderness Wanderers, a hero who stopped the South City rebellion, Ronald.

Even from such a far distance, she could vaguely see the densely placed flowers in front of the statue.

The new Wilderness Wanderers arriving in Dawn City would come to this statue to pay tribute to this Legendary Hero, and the area around the park also became one of the scattered settlements for Wilderness Wanderers.

The new bomb shelter was reportedly built by a leader among the Wilderness Wanderers.

"Okay,"

Jessie swept her gaze over the crowd still in a panic trying to gather everything into their arms, shouted loudly, "Leave the rest of the stuff behind, everyone follow me immediately."

Boom——

Just at the moment her words fell, a huge explosion roared not far behind her.

This sound startled everyone.

Jessie no longer minded the panicked and flustered people, shouted loudly, "The bomb shelter is right behind that statue, everyone follow me."

As she spoke, she touched the inner pocket of her coat and braced against the wind as she dashed quickly behind the statue.

Bam bam bam——

And as they ran towards the park’s exit, scattered gunshots sounded, faintly behind them.

Followed by several blood-stained, frantic figures emerging, appearing in their rear field of view.

Behind these figures was a black convertible off-road vehicle, several grim-faced, tattooed men holding submachine guns.

"Are those gang members?"

A figure following Jessie couldn’t help but look back, "Why do these bastards have to stir things up right now?"

"Don’t look back."

The figure next to him quickly grabbed him, pulling him forward.

"Hahaha, run, go on run!"

Just then, a sharp voice accompanied by rapid gunshots sounded behind them, a man standing on the off-road vehicle aimed the submachine gun at those blood-stained fleeing figures, pulling the trigger.

Bam bam bam——

Bullets struck the concrete ground, stirring up spreading dust in the night breeze.

Amidst this dense barrage, several bullets struck the legs of those fleeing figures, along with the splattering blood, they stumbled forward, directly falling to the ground.

The speeding off-road vehicle brushed past them, then skidded to a halt in front of them, the man with the gun looked at the silver-haired Elderly at their head, chuckling,

"Old Geezer, if you just gave me your bank card password earlier, you wouldn’t have had to suffer so much."

The silver-haired Elderly looked up, gritting his teeth at the gang members on the off-road vehicle, remaining silent.

Bam bam bam——

At this moment, another gang member on the off-road vehicle suddenly raised his gun, firing a round into the sky.

"You guys over there, don’t run, did you hear me, come over here and kneel."

He turned his head, looking at the fleeing crowd not far away, shouting loudly.

The fleeing crowd had already crossed a decorative stone wall, and hearing this shout, they were slightly stunned.

"I’m talking to you, kids,"

The gang member spat impatiently, holding the submachine gun, spraying a burst towards their direction, "Come over, kneel, and call your parents to send money."

The dense bullets hit the ground, raising splashes of dust.

"Ah!!!" "Murder!!"

The crowd, just dazed just now, were fully awakened by these bullets, starting to panic.

"Don’t panic, everyone,"

Seeing this scene, Jessie was expressionless, her hand inside her coat, shouted loudly, "Hide behind the low wall, their guns can’t penetrate it, don’t surrender, these people are deceitful and ruthless, even if you give them money after surrendering, they’ll kill you."

This shout snapped the panicked crowd back to reality, but besides a few who immediately ran towards the low wall, the rest were still hesitant.

"Hah, filthy woman!"

The talking gang member directly raised his gun towards Jessie, about to shoot.

At almost the same time, Jessie pulled out a delicate pistol from her coat, aiming at the gang member and fired a shot.

Bam——

The bullet hit the outer edge of the off-road vehicle, rebounding, scraping past the gang member.

This gang member was so startled his hand shook, the gun barrel lifted, ’bam bam bam——’ firing several shots.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The crowd which was calm just moments ago was thoroughly frightened in this crossfire, running quickly towards the low wall.

By then, the other gang members had reacted, turning their barrels towards Jessie.

At that moment, Jessie was very close to the low wall, she just needed a little sidestep to hide behind it.

Her gaze fell on the panicked figures dashing to the low wall in front of her.

Without cover, these companions would become live targets for the gang members.

In that instant, she seemed to remember something, lifting her gun without hesitation and aiming at the gang members preparing to shoot, pulling the trigger,

Bam bam bam——

Bullets poured out as if they were free, targeting the gang members on the off-road vehicle.

The fierce barrage momentarily suppressed the gang members, some stray bullets even nearly scraped by their bodies.

But soon, the magazine of the petite gun was emptied, Jessie tried pulling the trigger again, but no bullet fired from the barrel.

At that point, the panicked crowd ahead had all disappeared, hiding behind the low wall.

Except for herself.

She glanced at the emptied magazine of her gun, then at the mostly unharmed gang members.

From the day that person went missing, she had been practicing her shooting.

She had great talent, and with hard work, she could almost hit the bullseye every time at the shooting range now.

But practical combat was different from target shooting in the end.

She got nervous.

Vroom——

A violent engine rumbling could be heard from afar.

The gang members standing on the off-road vehicle were already pointed their guns at her.

Bam bam bam——

The air was filled with an ethereal sound, seemingly the sound of gunpowder exploding inside the gun chamber, propelling the bullets.

Vroom——

At that moment, an almost explosive engine roar echoed in her ears, a massive armed motorcycle crashed through a side bush, charging out from not far beside her.

Jessie raised her head, seeing the bloodied figure on the motorcycle, she was slightly stunned, then unconsciously her eyes widened slowly.

That figure obviously saw her as well.

Time seemed to quiet down at that moment, the hovering armed motorcycle seemed fixed in the sky, and also frozen in the girl’s memory.

Next moment, she felt her hand being gripped by a warm, slightly damp palm, then her entire body was pulled forward uncontrollably, seated sideways on the motorcycle’s back seat.

Before she could react, she heard a dense, crisp sound from the air.

The figure on the motorcycle seemed to raise their hand, or maybe not, but the bullets in the air appeared to be repelled by some invisible force.

The dense bullets poured like torrential rain back onto the figures firing from the off-road vehicle,

Poof poof poof——

Countless red snowflakes blossomed in the air, the black off-road vehicle was pierced, accompanied by a raging roar, it started burning fiercely.

"Hold on tight."

The figure riding ahead never raised his head to look at the gang members, instead, kept his head low, speaking quickly.

Hearing the familiar voice.

Jessie clasped his clothes immediately, gripping tightly.

In the next second, the powerful thrust of the armed motorcycle propelled them swiftly towards the road ahead.

This was the fastest motorcycle Jessie had ever seen in her life, she barely saw the road, only feeling the wind slicing against her face like blades, the motorcycle crossing over half of the park, reaching the center.

Screech——

The whole bike suddenly skidded sideways, accompanied by the smoke of the tires scraping the ground and a harsh sound, the bike finally halted before the massive statue.

He Ao dismounted the bike, walked forward, looking up at that towering statue.

Just then, the phone ringing in his ear got connected, "Hello, this is Wilderness Wanderer Penny, who might you be?"

"Joey,"

He Ao stepped forward, walking toward the statue, then continued before Penny could ask further, "Do you remember the sword in Huimei Communications? I asked someone to place the sword there."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

"I want to know, where is that sword now?"

He Ao continued.

The entire communication line fell silent briefly, then the person on the other end seemed finally to choose to trust He Ao’s words, she spoke softly,

"There’s a Hidden book-style button in the center of the base under the Leader’s statue in Dawn City, press that button,"

He Ao lowered his head, looking at the flower-piled pedestal before him, his gaze swiftly scanning the center of the base, finally resting on a stone protrusion almost integrated into the base.

He reached out, pressing down on that protrusion.

Click——

A slight tremor sounded around this stone protrusion.

A simple rune appeared floating before him.

"Afterward, a rune will appear, touch the rune and state the password to open it,"

The voice in the phone paused, "The password is the Leader’s name."

He Ao raised his hand, touching this rune, speaking softly, "Ronald."

Click——

With a gentle click, the entire base trembled and began to shift.

A silver short sword encased in a mechanical scabbard slowly rose from the foot of the statue.

He Ao gazed at that silver short sword, slowly reaching out to grasp it.

"The Leader told me to return the sword, but I couldn’t reach the sword’s original owner, so I repaired the scabbard and placed it here by the statue,"

The phone voice sighed lightly, "Now, it’s back to its rightful owner."

Clang——

He Ao gripped the hilt of the short sword, pulling it out abruptly.

With the piercing sound of the sword’s cry, and a stream of white arc, that familiar silver blade reappeared in He Ao’s sight.

He stretched out his hand, gently brushing over the blade.

A certain familiar feeling surged in his heart, the sword originally belonged to Regit, and across multiple Copy Worlds, it had been He Ao’s main Weapon, accompanying him the longest.

Buzz——

He flicked the sword’s body lightly, accompanied by the sharp and soothing cry of the sword, he raised his hand, slid the short sword back into its scabbard, then pulled out the entire scabbard.

By then, Penny on the other end seemed to hear the commotion there, she hesitated for a moment, asking with some confusion, "You’ve already retrieved the sword? You’re right in front of the statue?"

"You could say that."

He Ao, gripping the scabbard, lifted his gaze, looking at the massive statue in front.

Based on his understanding of Penny, he guessed if Penny couldn’t return the sword, she likely placed it here by the statue, so, in the process of contacting Penny, he headed directly here.
