Chapter 108 - Seeking Help Extra for Silver Alliance Leader Sugar in Water Twelfth Update

Qian Chengxue took a deep breath, her anger finally causing her hands to strike the steering wheel, and her indifferent face revealed a thin, uncontrollable fury.

She had expended so much energy and paid such a high cost to establish the Red Bay Base, only for a chaotic situation to occur at the most critical moment, ultimately forcing her to return without accomplishing anything.

Anyone would be extremely angry, considering that this failed venture had a huge impact on her.

After venting, Qian Chengxue started the car and continued forward, quickly arriving at a lakeside.

She took a can of beer out of the car and walked towards the lake, the lakeside scenery at night was very beautiful.

The calm lake surface shimmered under the moonlight, and breezes wafted by, stirring Qian Chengxue’s scattered silver hair.

Qian Chengxue gazed at the quiet lake, opened the canned beer, took a sip, and quietly looked out at the lake, revealing a rare complexity in her cold eyes.

Perhaps, it was only at this moment that she didn’t need to care about the eyes around her and could relax completely.

As a member of a prominent family, the burdens and pressures she shouldered since childhood were something ordinary people could not comprehend in their entire lives.

The journey full of peril and tears was borne by her alone.

Sometimes, she even felt that living was so tiring!

Time slowly passed, and the night deepened.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Qian Chengxue turned and left, heading back to her car.

The car slowly drove off, and compared to before, she was not driving as fast.

It was apparent that her heart had probably calmed down.

But her true feelings, yet, remained unknown to anyone.

Late at night, Qian Chengxue drove the Silver Fox into a standalone, luxurious manor-style villa.

The vast villa was brightly lit, and both its exterior and interiors were extravagantly decorated with the most luxurious natural stones.

“Miss, welcome back!”

As Qian Chengxue approached the main entrance, a butler and a maid opened the door and greeted her respectfully.

She nodded slightly and walked straight towards the staircase inside, ready to go up.

At that moment, several extraordinarily dignified, well-dressed young men and women, holding coffee, sat in the living room smiling at Qian Chengxue.

“Isn’t this our little sister?

Why are you coming home so late today?

You don’t look so good, could it be that the venture failed?”

Qian Chengxue glanced at her seated siblings but didn’t respond; she went upstairs without saying a word.

At the North Suburb Defense Line of Dawn City, swarms of Zombies rushed into the first line of defense, immediately overwhelming the remaining tanks.

“Retreat!

Abandon the first and second lines, fall back to the third line,”

Li Shi, who was commanding the front line, roared hoarsely.

Suddenly, the surviving players, abandoning the trenches, sprinted backwards.

Somewhat slower team members were immediately overwhelmed by the swarms of Zombies.

Before they could even scream, they were torn to shreds.

At that moment, Zhao Han, holding binoculars in the rear, watched the situation unfold before her.

Seeing Monsters not only smashing against her forces but also breaking through two defense lines, her face turned green.

She anxiously asked, “He Bing, I told you to ask other groups for help, did you do it?”

A plump girl next to Zhao Han nervously replied, “Sister Zhao Han, we already told them, but they said they can hardly protect themselves and really have no spare hands to help us.”

Zhao Han’s face darkened upon hearing this, knowing how good their usual relations were, yet in a critical moment, they didn’t give any face at all.

“Sister Zhao Han, what should we do now?

We are severely understaffed and running out of ammunition; we can hardly hold on.”

He Bing asked cautiously.

Normally, their combat capability wouldn’t be this poor.

However, their luck was just too bad, starting with being jeopardized by Su Mo earlier, where they lost nearly five hundred elite members, which was like a severe hemorrhage for them.

Furthermore, the fact that the venture group had taken a large amount of weapons and ammunition when they left, and before the attack on Dawn City, Zhao Han had dispatched many squads to different areas to collect resources.

Even the deputy leader, Lin Zinuo, was sent out, and now, one by one, things had gone wrong.

It made her feel utterly overwhelmed.

Zhao Han’s expression went through several changes, and finally, clenching her teeth, she said, “Organize our group’s civilian players, except for the crucial mainstays, pull everyone else in.”

“Ah, Sister Zhao Han, isn’t this inappropriate?

They are lifestyle players.”

“What does it matter if they are lifestyle players?

Once they pick up a weapon, they become warriors.”

“But, we don’t have that many weapons to give them!”

“Then they can use sticks to fight, they still need to hold the line.”

“This…”

“We can’t consider so much now; you need to understand something, there are six groups left to defend, each stationed in different areas.

Now the other five groups are still holding on; it’s just our line that has collapsed, letting monsters break into Dawn City.

By then, we will truly become sinners, and our entire group might be severely punished.”

Zhao Han was also really out of options.

“Understood, I’ll do it now.”

He Bing quickly replied.

Meanwhile, on The Crane Orchid.

Su Mo and others gathered together, having a modest celebration party.

Although the party was modest, lacking alcohol and fine food, just some military canned goods.

It didn’t affect, however, the mood of Su Mo and his friends.

Zhou Qian led the singing, while the other girls clapped their hands and sang along.

“Your eyes are so bright, my heart…”

Although Su Mo didn’t participate directly, he listened from the side and felt quite pleased.

“Su Mo, aren’t you going to sing along?”

Sun Hong sitting nearby asked curiously.

“Cough cough, I can’t.”

Su Mo was slightly startled and shook his head in reply.

“Can you dance then?”

“I can’t do that either.”

“It’s okay if you can’t, just join in the fun; I can teach you!”

Sun Hong volunteered eagerly.

“Sun Hong, that’s too much, how can you hog him all to yourself; if anyone is teaching, it should be me!”

Zhou Qian said laughingly.

“We want to dance with Su Mo too…”

“Don’t fight with us; don’t you have a boyfriend?”

“It’s fine, I can consider him temporarily deceased.”

“Oh, you are so awful…”

The entire deck was filled with Zhou Qian and their laughter, while Su Mo looked increasingly embarrassed.

“That’s enough, joke as you may, but don’t bully Su Mo.”

At this moment, Lin Zinuo walked over.

“Sister Zinuo, we’re not bullying him, we’re just playing with him!

Besides, we’re helping him.

Look how moody he is, plus he’s not good with social interactions, he’s handsome and so naive, he could easily be taken advantage of.

As his companions, shouldn’t we teach him properly?”

Xiao Lu cheekily stuck out her tongue as she spoke.

“Go on, go away, don’t lead him astray.”

Lin Zinuo commented laughingly.
