Light Fortress-Chapter 1449 - 193: Departure [Tanyao]

Adam was sent to the S12 district while still in a coma.

He was covered in scratches and burns, and was gray-faced and miserable, but thankfully the ’Eye of Destiny’ was still intact, though he had completely lost consciousness.

Several East Continent enforcers deployed the healing sealing object, attempting to save him.

"Mr. Xiao Gu, we found him on the outer perimeter of South Cave, near the ’core area’."

Jiang Du looked worriedly at the small barrier emitting healing holy light, speaking softly, "Luckily, Mr. Adam was fortunate. Those savage Big Winged Sparrows didn’t kill him... Perhaps because of the anomaly with [Tanyao], causing the Beast Tide to retreat, these big birds dropped their prey in the air and chose to return to their nests."

"Rest assured, he’s still alive."

The flame of Gu Shen’s life force had already passed a thin wisp into Adam’s body, sweeping through it. Indeed, his luck was remarkable; abducted by Big Winged Sparrows, he suffered only superficial injuries.

"Given the current situation, he may not wake up for a while..."

Standing aside, Shen Li hesitated for a moment and transmitted, "The armored convoy from Da Du is about to depart; shall we?"

Adam, being a top-tier scholar, is a treasured resource wherever he goes.

Among the retreat list from Sang Province Cave, this guy is absolutely the highest priority.

This time, he acted alongside East Continent.

There would be no chance for Adam to return to Upper City; if he wants to continue his research, he must do so under the Flower Banner.

For talent of this level, East Continent will surely bring him back to their territory.

The intention of Little Iron Man is obvious... a chance encounter is better than a planned meeting, and right now is the best timing to send Adam away.

"Let’s wait a bit more."

Gu Shen said calmly, "I’ve already fulfilled the promise I made to him... With the death of Vermilion Bird, the ’Black Silver Bomb’ buried in his heart can be considered a threat removed. I want to wait for him to wake up so I can ask him about the ’Eye of Destiny’ personally."

A roar of engines came from outside the city wall.

The armored convoy had completed its first loading; ten armored vehicles transporting wall materials, now loaded with local Transcendents from Sang Province Cave, totaling one hundred and nine people... Hu Danian will lead these Neutrals, bypassing the core area, finally leaving from the North Cave territory; as for the island checkpoints guarded by the Holy City Research Institute, there is no need to worry.

Bai Xiu had already left with Xiaoman...

At that time, having obtained the Source Tower from the "Lord of Wine," they will be more eager to set off than East Continent.

The subsequent actions will simply require sitting back and enjoying success.

...

...

As the convoy departed, standing on the high wall, one could see the armored vehicles crush through countless silver-white rain lines in the downpour, splashing muddy paths.

The S12 district remained noisy.

But deep in Gu Shen’s heart, it began to grow quiet.

For some unknown reason, watching these people leave, the ominous feeling in his heart lessened significantly.

Ever since stepping into Sang Province Cave, the ’Goddess of Destiny’s guidance’ had continually been inaccurate.

No matter where Gu Shen went or stayed put, as long as he took out the pendant, he would receive danger signals.

Now, he understood the true warning meaning of the pendant...

Once [Tanyao] explodes, the entire Sang Province Cave would be unsafe!

Staying here would face life and death crises!

In the meeting room of the Ancient Literature Society, Gu Shen constructed the final spiritual link; the red door expanded, and two figures emerged from the mist.

Lin Lin and Lu Nanzhi watched each other in the mist; they were already familiar with each other’s identities in the real world and had met online several times recently; however, meeting with [Key] simultaneously... this was the first time.

"Is the southbound mission on Sang Island going smoothly?"

Lin Lin sat down with an easygoing demeanor, appearing very relaxed. It seemed that Gu Castle Fortress currently had no major trivial issues, enjoying a rare and scarce period of rest.

"Smoothly, yet not too smoothly."

Gu Shen said, "I just killed the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy of Central Continent and identified the identity of an important member... 064’s real identity is the Red Dragon among the Four Divine Envoys of the Source Tower."

"What?"

Lu Nanzhi and Lin Lin were taken aback.

The two fell into silence... if their tacit presence was still within expectations, then "064" was a sharp blade deep behind enemy lines.

"Red Dragon is ’064’... this code must have been inherited."

Lady reacted swiftly, murmuring softly, "He survived in Source Tower for so long with external help. The only one who could set up such a card would be Tianshui... Is Mr. Tianshui from Upper City also a member of the Ancient Literature Society?"

"Member isn’t quite the right word."

Gu Shen said, "Perhaps a benefactor, or maybe a conspirator. I don’t know what Tianshui intends to do... but I know Red Dragon is a pawn cultivated by Tianshui; from the current situation, what Mr. Tianshui wants to do is to overthrow the rule of Sky Divine Throne Qinglong."

This information was shocking.

Lin Lin and Lu Nanzhi both fell silent, the two striving to digest this explosive news.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Shen recounted the events occurring in Sang Province Cave to them.

"Yes, that’s roughly it..."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "Afterwards, we will engage in some level of cooperation with Source Tower, though you can choose to conceal ’064’s identity... if a Divine War truly breaks out, the ’Lord of Wine’ is an indispensable part, but Tianshui has lived too long, and no one knows what he’s really thinking, we need to guard against him in the end."

"Of course."

Lu Nanzhi said, "Regarding the evacuation of Mr. Turing back then... no one knows exactly what it was like, the truthfulness of 064’s words will still need time to verify."
