Chapter 89 - 87: Now It's My Turn to Go Up

After Ding Huan got into the car, Lao Liu, who was waiting inside, didn't see Nian Jinqing returning and didn't care. In Lao Liu's eyes, a guy like Nian Jinqing wasn't even worth mentioning as an ant. "Lao Liu, I need to go to the Human Corridor Defense Line. I have two friends there who might be in trouble, so the trip to Kunlun Mountain has to be delayed. Are you coming with me, or will you wait here?" After speaking, Ding Huan looked at Lao Liu. Lao Liu immediately shook his head, clearly not keen on following Ding Huan to the Human Corridor Defense Line. What a joke; did it look like he, Lao Liu, had that kind of leisure time like a monkey? He didn't even have enough time for cultivation. Besides, with his strength, going to the Human Corridor Defense Line—was he going to die or what? "Then would you like me to arrange a place for you to wait for me?" asked Ding Huan. Lao Liu shook his head again; he had plenty of places to survive. "In that case, wait here for me. When I come back, I'll go to Nian Jinqing's house. If I can't find you, I'll head to Kunlun Mountain alone," Ding Huan said. Lao Liu nodded, clearly having no objections to Ding Huan's arrangement. "Alright, just remember not to run around aimlessly. At this time, there are people everywhere killing Genetic Beasts. If you get killed, you can only blame your bad luck." Ding Huan patted Lao Liu's head and then drove him to a villa area where Nian Jinqing was located. Nian Jinqing lived in a very secluded place for the sake of quiet and not being disturbed. Ding Huan believed that with Lao Liu's cunning, it would not be easy for him to be discovered in this place. After dropping off Lao Liu, Ding Huan went to the Security Department. He couldn't yet fly or command a sword. If he wanted to reach the Human Corridor Defense Line, he had to rely on the Security Department. ... The Pu Hai Security Department was located near Sifang Harbor by the sea, as it was close to the twin seas, allowing them to react immediately if any sea Fierce Beasts attacked. Ding Huan parked his car and walked to the entrance of the Security Department, which seemed somewhat deserted. "Who are you looking for?" The guard looked at Ding Huan with a cautious tone. He recognized Ding Huan's car; it belonged to the Beast King, Nian Jinqing. Not seeing Nian Jinqing meant that Ding Huan was representing him. "I am looking for the head of the Security Department... My name is Ding Huan," Ding Huan said with a smile. The guard snorted, but then his demeanor changed when he heard the name Ding Huan. He looked at Ding Huan in surprise, "Are you Mr. Ding from Yujiang University? The advisor of Qu Yi and Fang Chong?" "That's me," Ding Huan nodded. "Please wait a moment..." The guard immediately picked up the phone. Just a few minutes later, an elderly man hurried out, his face full of excitement as he spoke, "Is it you, Mr. Ding Huan?" Ding Huan nodded, "Yes, it's me. And you are?" "I am Zhu Qijiang, the former head of the Pu Hai Security Department. Our current department head, Zong Han, is critically injured, the gene department head, Wan Hua, is dead, the action group supervisor, Wang Qiusheng, is dead, and the criminal team leader, He Hu, is also dead. There's no one left in Pu Hai Security Department, so this old bone of mine has come to take charge." Zhu Qijiang spoke in a calm tone, but Ding Huan could hear a definitive resolve in his voice. It seemed that Zhu Qijiang was ready to die at any moment as long as there was one person alive in the Security Department to fight for Hua Xia. Indeed, Zhu Qijiang continued: "Mr. Ding, you probably came here looking to find your disciples at the Human Corridor Defense Line. Take me with you; although I am an old bone, I can still kill a few Fierce Beasts." Ding Huan shook his head, "I'm here just to utilize the capabilities of the Security Department to take a plane to the Human Corridor Defense Line. It's sufficient for the old department head to stay in Pu Hai; you don't need to come with me." Zhu Qijiang became somewhat agitated when he heard Ding Huan's words: "Ding Huan, I am, after all, the head of the Security Department. If you're going, I can help you pilot the plane. The fate of our current department head is unknown, the supervisor is dead, the department head is dead, and the team leader is also dead; now, it's my turn. You have to let me come with you." Zhu Qijiang had long wanted to go to the Human Corridor Defense Line but had no reason to go until now. Ding Huan had trained several strong students whose abilities definitely qualified them for the front line, and since Ding Huan was going to the front line to find students who contributed to humanity, he had the right to request a frontline visit. Ding Huan felt somewhat emotional and was filled with respect. Compared to the Genetic Alliance's selfishness, the Security Department was the true guardian. He looked at Zhu Qijiang and said earnestly, "As you said, old department head, my disciples might have either died in battle or disappeared at the Human Corridor Defense Line, and now it is my turn as their teacher. If there comes a time when the old department head needs to step in, I believe you will do so without hesitation. But for now, we the younger generation are still here." "This time, you won't be able to request a passenger jet; you can only take one of my Security Department's fighter jets. Our plane is a single-engine CY03 fighter jet, so I still must take you there." Former department head Zhu Qijiang chuckled. "Mr. Director, I can fly this fighter jet," a security officer hurriedly spoke up as he rushed over. "Enough talk," Zhu Qijiang glared, and the officer quickly shut his mouth. Ding Huan smiled, "Mr. Director, I really can fly it." Ding Huan had never flown this model of fighter jet before, but he had spent so many years on Changyi Continent researching various fighter jets when his cultivation had hit a plateau. He had finally settled on the Number Five Star, which boasted both decent speed and combat capabilities. So, Ding Huan believed that as long as he sat in the cockpit, he could pilot the plane. "If you won't let me go, I won't lend you the plane," Zhu Qijiang said with a hardened expression and an unpleasant tone. "In that case, forget it," Ding Huan turned and walked away. He thought of an alternative, which was to go to Qianluo Mountain to seek the Great Wilderness Golden Ape and find a flying Fierce Beast to take him there. "Ah, wait a minute, Mr. Ding Huan, can you really not take me?" Zhu Qijiang called out to Ding Huan as he turned to leave. Ding Huan stopped and looked at Zhu Qijiang without saying a word. "Okay, okay, I give up. If you can fly it, go on by yourself. You have to do me a favor though, you must check on Qi Tong from the Security Department; he went missing after the human corridor defense line was breached." Zhu Qijiang's tone carried a hint of desperation. "Qi Tong? What position does he hold at the Security Department?" Ding Huan asked, puzzled. "He isn't an official; he is the future of our Security Department. Initially, he followed Zong Han and merged with a Thunder gene..." "Is it the Shi Yina Gene developed by the West Wind Gene Company?" Ding Huan immediately asked. "Hmph, Shi Yina Gene is nothing, this is something our Security Department came up with on our own. Qi Tong was the only one who successfully merged, and in just one month, Qi Tong became a Second Level gene cultivator capable of unleashing Thunder Arc attacks. He insisted on following Zong Han to the human corridor defensive line, and he went missing after the line was breached," Zhu Qijiang explained. "Fine, as long as I find him, I'll bring him back," Ding Huan responded. Borrowing someone's plane, this small matter is nothing. ... Zhu Qijiang acted swiftly and decisively, not prolonging what Ding Huan asked for. In just twenty minutes, he had handled all the formalities, and Ding Huan was also aboard the plane. This was a single-engine fighter jet, not difficult to pilot, plus there was a manual next to him. Ding Huan didn't even need to look at it, a sweep of his Divine Will was enough to grasp the basic piloting method. Seeing Ding Huan actually start the plane, and just two minutes later, the plane soared into the blue sky, Zhu Qijiang sighed inwardly. He could understand Ding Huan's feelings, just like his own. He couldn't allow all the people of Security Department to have died while he, Zhu Qijiang, lingered on regretfully behind, but unfortunately, Ding Huan was unwilling to take him along. Ding Huan became familiar with the CY03 fighter jet in just a few minutes; the jet's strength was apparently all in its speed. The space was small, and it lacked enough missile capacity. This application was rushed, even lacking weapons, not to mention missiles. Ding Huan didn't care; in his view, reaching the human safety corridor defense line was enough. He swiftly brought the jet to its maximum speed, feeling content knowing his Divine Will could clearly observe everything outside the aircraft. With his Divine Will spanning outside the aircraft, Ding Huan wasn't afraid of any flying Fierce Beast attacking. If any flying Fierce Beasts dared to approach, he'd unleash a few Wind Blades. Wait a minute, Ding Huan suddenly thought of a problem. His Wind Blade Skill, although employed with Divine Will, the actual lethal force was still True Yuan based attacks. Inside the cockpit, wouldn't the windshield block his Wind Blades? Realizing this, Ding Huan's mood soured a bit. It seemed necessary to create a spell that required only Divine Will to form a Wind Blade, without the need for True Yuan. The first thing that came to Ding Huan's mind was the Dual-Tailed Cyclops Fox, known for its potent spiritual power attacks. Yes, it was a Demon Beast. This unique fox could launch mental attacks on its enemies' minds from a distance of thirty meters. In Changyi Continent, the value of a Dual-Tailed Cyclops Fox was astounding since everyone wanted its skill gene. Ding Huan sighed; this is Earth, it's unlikely such a Demon Beast existed here. Besides, even if such a beast existed, he probably couldn't defeat it now. At this moment, Ding Huan could only further accelerate the speed of the plane. As long as the speed was sufficient, no flying Fierce Beast could intercept him. Despite being a single-engine fighter jet, its speed truly didn't disappoint Ding Huan. In just less than four hours, Ding Huan controlled the plane to land. The dense mass of Fierce Beasts on the ground, Ding Huan didn't care at all, directly controlling the fighter jet to crush past them. As long as he landed, he had ways to kill these lower level Fierce Beasts. This kind of fighter jet might malfunction due to slaughtering Fierce Beasts, it certainly wouldn't have issues like engine combustion.
