Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Eighty years later, Ping'an County has become Ping'an City, and it is several times larger than before. After stepping out of the high-speed rail station, what comes into view are high-rise buildings and bustling crowds.

Strange, strange, still strange, but in this completely unfamiliar environment, Xu San could still feel a little bit of familiarity, because the place he was fighting now was the stronghold where he used to be.

With a deep sigh, Xu San couldn't help but remark, "This used to be a stronghold of the puppet army."

"Boss, you can recognize this?" Hua Xueling said in a low voice.

Xu San took out his phone, opened Gaode Map, and swiped around on it a few times. "Look, this is the South Gate, the place where Li Yunlong fought. My base is about ten kilometers southwest of the South Gate. Although it can't be 100% accurate, the error won't be too big."

"Is the base fun?" Hua Xueling asked.

"It wasn't fun. Every day was filled with anxiety, afraid that the Eighth Route Army would touch my neck."

"Haha, you deserved to be touched." Hua Xueling said softly, pointing to the taxi stand. "Let's go to the hotel first. When we get there, tell me about your story in the base."

“Let’s go for a walk, I want to go for a walk anyway, the hotel isn’t far.” Xu San said, pulling Hua Xueling’s suitcase. “You’ve already mastered the basics of Qi cultivation, so a distance of more than ten kilometers shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

"Okay, let's take a walk and see what good food we can find here."

Xu San walked ahead, secretly circulating his Qi Refining Technique. He had already broken through to the third level without making a sound. After breaking through, he stopped and silently felt his physical condition before saying, "Rebuilding is really like having a cheat code. It used to take me half a year to reach the third level, but I didn't expect to recover to the third level again after only one month back."

Is the third level very powerful?

"Very impressive, almost at the level of a top-tier soldier. His stamina far surpasses that of an average top-tier soldier, and his subtle control over his body is also far superior to that of an average top-tier soldier."

"So, boss, what level did you reach during your peak cultivation?"

"The seventh level... after reaching that level, I felt I had hit the threshold of cultivation." "Oh, boss, you're amazing!" Hua Xueling replied insincerely. "So what level was my first level?"

"The five senses have been enhanced, endurance has improved slightly, and physical condition will show significant improvement."

Hua Xueling nodded, "Indeed, I feel my memory has improved a lot. Now I don't need to keep track of expenses, and I remember the details of my daily spending clearly."

"Has the company split up?"

“Of course, I’m a professional, how could I not distinguish between companies?” Hua Xueling raised her head, looking proud.

"Do we even need to keep track of the few accounts our company has?"

"I still have to keep track of it. I'm not rich, so of course I'll get reimbursed if I can."

A dozen kilometers isn't a long distance, so the two of them strolled along towards the hotel.

Eighty years have completely reshaped the appearance of Ping'an County.

The old, bumpy dirt roads are long gone, replaced by wide, smooth asphalt roads that connect in all directions and allow for smooth and orderly traffic.

The old brick houses on both sides of the road have all disappeared, replaced by high-rise buildings arranged in a staggered pattern. The glass curtain walls reflect the sunlight, reflecting the prosperity and vibrancy of this new city.

Pedestrians stroll leisurely on the street, dressed in trendy and comfortable clothes. The unfamiliar hustle and bustle of modern city life fills the air. There is no lingering fear of gunfire, no vigilance or anxiety, only the tranquility of smoke and fire.

Xu San dragged his suitcase, the wheels making a soft rumbling sound as they rolled across the smooth pavement. His pace was unhurried, his gaze slowly sweeping over his surroundings, his eyes holding a weariness and bewilderment that others couldn't decipher. (End of Chapter)
