294 Give Little Brother Lu Yuan Some Reward 2
“Thank you again, army commander, ninth Princess, Deputy army commander Tracy.”
Lu Yuan could no longer remember that this was the first time Liu Yixin had thanked him. He smiled and nodded, bidding Liu Yixin farewell.
Then, the three of them left defensive camp 201.
After passing through the hill covered in blood and corpses, they came to a forest with wolves.
Originally, the forest was full of trees, but when the beast tide passed by, a large number of trees were knocked down by the fierce beasts.
It was not only this area, but the entire central defense area was the same.
Si Tingxue’s expression was tired, but her mood was somewhat excited. She said,
“The beast tide has ended.”
Lu Yuan nodded and smiled. “Yes, I am. It was a nightmare, and now the nightmare is over.”
Tracy sighed and shook his head,
“It’s a pity that our dead comrades can’t come back to life.”
Lu Yuan and Si Tingxue both fell silent.
They had been to six defensive camps in half a day and had seen too many deaths.
Except for No. 257 where Lu Yuan and the others were at, all the other defensive camps had been rushed up the city wall by the beasts.
The losses varied in scale, with the smallest casualty rate exceeding 20%, while the largest had a casualty rate of 50% to 60%.
Too many of the guards had died.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan changed the topic and looked at Si Tingxue.
“Now that the beast tide is over, Si Tingxue, are you planning to return to camp 306?”
Si Tingxue pondered for a moment and then nodded. “Yes.”
“Then let’s walk a little further, it’s on the way.”
Si Tingxue nodded and said,
“The beast tide is over. It won’t be long before we go back.”
Lu Yuan also smiled and nodded, looking forward to it. “I wonder how many credits I’ll get this time?”
Upon hearing this, Si Tingxue’s expression turned strange. She snorted.
“Your academic credits this time might be the most out of all the students in the genius Camp.”
“What?” Lu Yuan was stunned and surprised. “There are that many?”
Si Tingxue glared at Lu Yuan and did not say anything.
Lu Yuan: “??? ”
He was a little confused. He didn’t know how he had provoked Si Tingxue.
Then, Lu Yuan thought of something and looked at Si Tingxue with a strange expression.
“… Are you unhappy because you don’t have as many credits as me?”
Si Tingxue froze and glared at Lu Yuan.
“Mhm!”
Lu Yuan,”...”
Good Lord, this person even admitted it directly?
He said with a smile,
“This can’t be helped. After all, I’m strong.”
Si Tingxue said indifferently, ”
you’re not the strong one. It’s your mechanical Overlord.
Lu Yuan said with a smile,
“The mechanical overlord is mine, so of course, it’s also a part of my strength.”
Upon hearing this, Si Tingxue’s expression darkened and she fell silent.
She snorted and took a few steps forward silently, not talking to Lu Yuan anymore.
Lu Yuan found it a little funny. This ice block’s desire to win was stronger than he had thought.
Beside him, Tracy felt that he was a little redundant.
She smiled and said,
“Ah Yuan, this time you played an important role in six, no, including our own defensive camps when defending against the beast tide. Although your mechanical overlords are only at the perfected stage two, there are enough of them. If they were used to deal with weak beasts, they would be as effective as the warlord. If we’re talking about credits this time, I think you should be the one with the highest.”
“That’s good, ” Lu Yuan said with a smile. “If that’s the case, then it’s good.”
He was starting to look forward to his academic credits.
Perhaps, he could directly collect the two million academic credits in one go and exchange them for the flickering transcendent gene.
The three of them chatted as they hurried on their way. After the beast tide, even the normal fierce beasts that originally rested here had become very few. Lu Yuan and the other two had a smooth journey and returned to camp 257 not long after.
Upon seeing the campsite, Lu Yuan looked at Si Tingxue and said,
“You should be a little tired now, right? Do you want to take a rest before returning to camp 306? You’re the only one on the road, so it’s better to be safe.”
Upon hearing this, Si Tingxue thought for a moment and then nodded. “Yes.”
The three of them soon arrived at the foot of the mountain where camp 257 was located.
Different from before, the corpses of the fierce beasts at the foot of the mountain had disappeared, leaving only traces of fire.
Tracy took a look and said, “they probably collected the materials and then set fire to the corpses of the fierce beasts.”
Lu Yuan nodded and walked up the mountain.
Although the body had disappeared, the smell of blood was still strong.
They were very fast, and it didn’t take long for them to reach the top of the city wall.
The guards who were patrolling on the city wall were stunned. When they saw Lu Yuan and the other two, they immediately smiled.
The guards saluted Lu Yuan and said respectfully,
“Greetings, army commander!”
Beside him, Tracy’s face was filled with black lines, and he had an unhappy expression.
“What about me?”
The few of them quickly shouted again,
“Vice regimental commander Tracy!”
Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched as he tried to hold back his laughter.
Even Si Tingxue’s mouth could not help but twitch.
Tracy was very unhappy. He glared at the guards and memorized their faces so that he could make things difficult for them when the time came.
“Let’s go. We’ll report to the Army commander first, then we can go back and rest.”
Just as the three of them were about to jump off the city wall and head to the military area, two streams of light suddenly streaked across the sky and landed in front of them.
Before Lu Yuan could react, he felt his vision turn black. He was hugged and his face was soft.
He smelled a familiar fragrance and heard a familiar voice.
“Little brother Yuan ~ did you miss your sister?”
Lu Yuan could not answer. He felt that he was about to be suffocated by his great heart.
He struggled to break free from Li Qinghe’s embrace, only to discover that Li Qinghe’s strength was surprisingly great.
After all, he was a battle king.
At the side, Tracy saw Li Qinghe hugging Lu Yuan and frowned. Just as she was about to get angry, she suddenly heard Li Qinghe’s words and recalled that Lu Yuan had mentioned that she had an older sister. Her face froze.
On the other hand, Si Tingxue, who was at the side, ignored the struggling Lu Yuan and turned to look at Si Tingyu.
Si Tingyu walked in front of Si Tingxue and was slightly surprised.
“Tingxue, you and Lu Yuan are not in the same defensive camp, right?”
“Yes, this is a special case.” Si Tingxue nodded.
“Eh? What special circumstances?”
Li Qinghe, who was carrying Lu Yuan, looked over curiously.
Si Tingxue turned her head and saw that Lu Yuan’s struggle was even more intense.
The corner of her mouth twitched, then she said indifferently,
“Sister Qinghe, someone’s going to suffocate to death because of you.”
Hearing this, Li Qinghe let go of Lu Yuan with a smile and said,
“You’re already a 2nd rank warrior, how could you die from suffocation? This is a little reward for brother Yuan! I heard that little brother Yuan has been performing very well here recently.”
When Lu Yuan was released, he realized that Si Tingyu, Si Tingxue, and Tracy were all looking at him with strange expressions.
He couldn’t help but blush.
Even though it was quite comfortable to be hugged by sister Qinghe like this, they had to find a place where no one was around to hug each other!
How embarrassing would it be to be seen by so many people?
After all, Lu Yuan felt that he had always been very thin-skinned.
He was a little embarrassed to be stared at by them, so he decisively changed the topic.
“Ahem, sister Qinghe is right. My recent performance has indeed been pretty good! Teacher, didn’t you want to ask why Si Tingxue was here? Let me explain to you.”
After that, Lu Yuan recounted what had happened after the beast tide outbreak.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s story, Li Qinghe and Si Tingyu were both shocked.
Li Qinghe’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Lu Yuan and said,
“Little brother Yuan, you’re actually so powerful? You’re already the regimental commander of an army?”
She patted Lu Yuan’s shoulder and said smugly,
“As expected of my little brother Yuan, you’re awesome!”
Si Tingyu, who was at the side, also nodded and looked at Lu Yuan seriously.
“It’s good that you can think of helping the other defense camps.”
Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed by their compliments. He coughed and said,
“We just came back. We still have to report to the Army commander.”
Li Qinghe smiled and said,
“Let’s go together.”
Thus, the few of them went to look for Luo Xiu.
After Lu Yuan and Tracy reported the situation, they discovered that Luo Xiu was actually Li Qinghe and Si Tingyu’s senior.
After he arranged a special dormitory for the two, he asked Lu Yuan to take them to the dormitory.
In fact, Si Tingyu, Si Tingxue, and even Li Qinghe had all just gone through a big battle and were very tired.
They all needed to rest now.
When he heard that Li Qinghe had come to find him as soon as he had returned, Lu Yuan was very touched.
