nExploration Team Returns!
nUnder the watchful eyes of Li Yueming.
nAll the members of the Exploration Team felt a heavy pressure.
nExactly.
nJust as Teacher had said.
nThis time, there were only two paths left for them.
nIf they could find a path to the Surface World for the residents of the Underground World,
nThen they might leave their names in history.
nBut if they failed…
nThat was to die without a burial place.
nOne of these two paths led to the supreme Humans.
nThe other led to the most sinister and terrifying hell.
nAnd now…
nHe could only gamble.
nHe watched the Exploration Team leave.
nLi Yueming was a little nervous.
nHe had already simulated the exploration plan in his mind many times.
nThe plan left for the members of the Exploration Team was also the best solution among the many deduction plans.
nBut even so…
nHowever, he could not guarantee absolute safety.
nIt could only be said that if nothing unexpected happened.
nIn about half a month, the Exploration Team would bring back what he wanted most.
n…
nJust like that.
nDays passed.
nDuring this period of time.
nLi Yueming stayed in to prepare a grand welcoming ceremony for the Exploration Team.
nIt was different from what Li Yueming had expected.
nAfter hearing that the Exploration Team had gone to the Surface World to explore,
nThe residents didn’t seem very excited.
nHe thought about it for a long time.
nLi Yueming finally understood the reason.
nIn the past,
nThere were also many refugees underground who were unwilling to live in this dark Underground World forever.
nThey had also tried to find a way to the Surface World.
nBut in the end…
nThese guys did not have good endings.
nOver time.
nThe number of explorers naturally decreased.
nTo the citizens of the Underground World,
nThe Surface World symbolized the horror of the unknown.
nIt was like a wild beast hiding in the darkness, waiting to devour someone.
nIt would tear all explorers who left the ground into pieces.
nAnd now…
nAfter hearing that the Alliance had sent a team of explorers to the Surface World,
nMany of the inhabitants of the Underground World felt that this was an extremely stupid action.
nAfter all, they could live a full life even if they were underground.
nThere was no need to abandon the good life of the moment for a little useless curiosity.
nSome extremists even believed that the Surface World had nothing to do with them. The Underground World was their home.
nThey were certain that the Exploration Team would never return.
nAnd Li Yueming would pay the price for his wrong decision.
nLi Yueming ignored all these rumors.
nHe still did whatever he wanted.
nHe ordered the Alliance to forcefully mobilize manpower and resources.
nThe details of the welcoming ceremony were also finalized.
nFifteen days later.
nThis unprecedented victory ceremony in the Underground World was completed.
nEverything was ready, just pending the return of the team.
nHowever, everyone was looking forward to it.
nHowever, there was still no news from the team of explorers heading to the Surface World.
nIn response.
nLi Yueming said nothing.
nHe just told everyone to continue waiting.
nWaiting for the heroes’ triumphant return.
nBehind him.
nThe four-year-old Li Xiyue patted her brother’s head.
nLike a little adult, she said seriously, “Brother Wang Fei and the others will definitely come back safely!”
nLi Yueming smiled and said nothing.
nEighteen days later.
nThe Exploration Team still did not return.
nThis was already three days after Li Yueming’s prediction.
nAlthough the homecoming team did not say anything,
nHowever, rumors of the Exploration Team having been completely wiped out had already spread throughout the entire Underground World.
nIn response.
nLi Yueming still said nothing.
nHowever, these few nights, he would subconsciously look in the direction where the Exploration Team had left.
nOn the twentieth day.
nAlmost all the refugees who came to participate in the welcoming ceremony had lost their patience.
nMost of the participants had already left.
nOnly a few patient fellows were still yawning listlessly.
nOf course.
nThe reason why they hadn’t left yet wasn’t because of anything else.
nThey just wanted to see Li Yueming make a fool of himself.
nAfter all, even in the Underground World, it was impossible for Li Yueming to be liked by everyone.
nThere were always people with different opinions.
nThey just wanted to see Li Yueming embarrass himself.
nNot far away.
nThe members of the Star Moon Alliance were still loyal.
nNo matter what the others thought.
nAs a companion.
nEveryone in the Alliance was still looking forward to seeing the Exploration Team return triumphantly.
nHowever, when the Exploration Team went to the surface, they only brought enough rations to last 20 days.
nTwenty days had passed.
nLogically speaking, the rations carried by the team should have been exhausted.
nIf they still haven’t returned…
nThen it was very likely that they would never return!
nEveryone was looking forward to it.
nTime passed.
nFinally.
nIt was almost evening.
nBlood-stained figures appeared in the distance.
nEveryone looked over.
nOnly then did they realize that the Exploration Team had really returned!!!
nSplash!
nEveryone became excited.
nMany of them even wiped their eyes repeatedly.
nAfter confirming that they were not mistaken,
nInstantly.
nThe entire Underground World was in an uproar!
n“The latest news is that Explorer 001 has really returned!”
n“Damn, is this for real?”
n“It’s absolutely true. Many people saw it with their own eyes!”
n“Everyone, let’s hurry to the Alliance’s headquarters. If we’re late, there won’t be any seats left!”
nThe news was like a prairie fire.
nIt instantly ignited the emotions of all the refugees in the Underground World.
nCountless refugees who were about to sleep did not even have time to put on their shoes.
nScrambling out of the rooms barefoot.
nAfter decades.
nThe Underground World finally stepped onto the Surface World again.
nMost importantly…
nThe members of the Exploration Team even returned alive.
nNo matter how stupid these refugees were, they knew what this information meant.
n“Do we really have a chance to return to the Surface World now?”
n“I don’t know if we’ll have a chance to return to the Surface World, but at least our future development won’t be limited to the Underground World!”
n“In the past, there were so many things that our ancestors couldn’t do, but the Alliance only took a few years to do it…”
n“What does this mean? It only means, all hail the Son of God!!!”
n…
nStar Moon Alliance Headquarters.
nAt this moment, the entire Alliance was brightly lit.
nThe crowd looked at the bloodstained youths in the fire.
nIt was as if sizing up the new humans of the new century!!!
nWhen the Exploration Team went, there were a total of 28 members.
nAt this moment, there were only eighteen left.
nWang Fei, who led the team, was slightly injured. He staggered and was carried back by Zhou Wuhai.
nAlthough there were some twists and turns in the process,
nHowever, the overall outcome still met Li Yueming’s expectations.
nThe Exploration Team successfully brought back what he wanted.
nHe was secretly escorted to the deepest cell of the Alliance Headquarters.
nOf course, these could be put aside for the time being.
nThe most important thing now was to complete the welcoming ceremony for the Exploration Team!
nOn the high platform.
nThe surviving team members lined up.
nAt their feet.
nThousands of refugees huddled together, all of them looking excited.
nLi Yueming’s gaze slowly swept across the faces of the team members.
nHe took a deep breath and said, “Tonight, all the humans here will remember you and the warriors who sacrificed for us! You are the heroes of all the Humans in the Underground World!”
nBelow the stage.
nThe refugees’ cheers sounded almost at the same time. “Welcome back, heroes!”
nAt this moment.
nEveryone’s shouts came from the bottom of their hearts.
nThere was no falsehood or coercion!
n…
