Chapter 596 Light
After the surprise segment, the scene was a mess, and the banquet could no longer continue.

Injured trainees were carried away on stretchers by staff, while those with serious injuries were treated on the spot by therapists.

"A bunch of trash."

The mentors also left one after another. As Gustave went downstairs, he laughed and cursed loudly.

Although the Easter egg activity was just a spur-of-the-moment thing for him, he never expected that his students would be so unlucky that not a single one of them would get an Easter egg.

He wasn't heartbroken; these were gifts meant for his students, and luck played a significant role in whether they received them. His students were strong, but not fast, so it was understandable that they got nothing. He just felt a little embarrassed.

"Haha."

Gustav's complaint drew laughter from the instructors.

Alice was the happiest of them all.

Because her student Lin Feng received two Easter eggs, he was the biggest winner tonight.

With these two Easter eggs, Lin Feng's chances of becoming king will increase by at least 30%.

Perhaps it won't be long before she becomes no match for Lin Feng.

"There's no need to be so happy."

Just as Alice was feeling joyful, a cold, eerie voice came from behind her, causing her body to stiffen slightly.

The next second, a foul stench wafted over, and Alfonso appeared beside Alice.

"So what if you become a king? You're just a king. Do you really think a king would dare to oppose me? Could he possibly oppose me?"

As he spoke, he continued walking without pausing at all, as if he were simply passing by.

Slowly, Alice stopped and watched Alfonso's retreating figure, a smile appearing on her face.

She was certain that Alfonso was starting to worry.

If you really don't care, then there's absolutely no need to tell yourself these things.

Lin Feng alone is indeed not enough to make Alfonso wary, but what if it's the Avengers?

As for whether Lin Feng would stand up for her, Alice didn't consider it, because that wasn't something she could decide.

She just needs to do her best; the rest is up to fate.

The surprise segment was a spur-of-the-moment idea from Gustave and happened quite suddenly. There were no photographers present, but fortunately, the cameras scattered throughout the banquet hall recorded the entire process.

Such a thrilling competition deserves to be made into a special program.

The production team worked overtime to prepare a surprise "Easter egg" for audiences around the world the following day.

……

The roars of monsters rang in my ears, and a series of howls echoed in the sky.

Fifteen-year-old Su Xiao looked up. Through the thick smoke, he could vaguely see three or four missiles flying over his head. More than twenty seconds later, a deafening explosion rang out, and the smell of gunpowder in the air became even stronger and more pungent, making it hard to breathe.

"Speed ​​up, speed up!"

The soldiers' voices spurred everyone to quicken their pace. The elderly and infirm began to jog, and the air was thick with the sound of heavy breathing. No one dared to stop, even if their feet were covered in blisters or they were utterly exhausted.

In the wilderness surrounded by monsters, stopping means falling behind.

Falling behind means death.

"Would you like some water?"

Her mother's voice came from beside her, and Su Xiao immediately said, "I won't drink, Mom, don't say anything."

His voice was noticeably hoarse, and it started to hurt as soon as he opened his mouth.

He really wanted to drink water, and felt like he could drink several bottles, but he didn't have much water left.

"Ah."

The mother responded with a sound of agreement and then said nothing more.

Su Xiao stretched her body and moved her sore shoulders.

He carried a large travel bag on his shoulders, containing some personal items and two blankets. As for his clothes, he had already thrown them away on the way to lighten his load.

He held his mother's hand tightly, not daring to let go.

He was surrounded by people, thousands upon thousands of people. If he let go, he might never see them again.

My father died on the way.

Now, he only has his mother left.

As I hurried along, I could faintly hear sobbing beside me; the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.

Their detachment heading to Jiangcheng originally numbered 40,000, but now only a little over 10,000 remain. Most of the soldiers protecting them have also been killed or wounded.

"Boom!"

The sound of artillery fire rang out from time to time, clearing obstacles for them. The closest ones were only a few kilometers away, and they could clearly feel the violent tremors and shock waves on the ground.

At first, the sound of artillery fire terrified them, but now they've gotten used to it.

Su Xiao and her mother didn't know how long or how far they had walked; they just walked numbly. Fortunately, the air wasn't as pungent as before.

How much longer do we have to walk?

"Damn it, why close so many space gates? People in the base city are people, but do people in the satellite cities deserve to die?"

"It's better to be killed by a supernatural being than to be eaten by a monster; at least I can live a few more years."

"Can we still make it to Jiangcheng?"

The loss of family members, the fear of death, and physical exhaustion lead to a poor mental state, pushing people to the brink of collapse.

Complaints, curses, and roars filled the air.

They were angry and resentful, but they were forced to accept this unfair treatment.

They can curse, but they are powerless to resist.

Su Xiao didn't roar, but his face was also very ugly. His eyes were slightly red, and his heart was full of anger and resentment.

Because of a decision by the World Alliance, 300,000 people from Tiannan City were forced to leave their homes. On the way, their fathers died, their homes were gone, and they didn't even know where their future lay.

Is he dead or alive?

How can you not make people angry!
How can we not let people despair!
"Stop complaining. This is true all over the country and even the world, not just for us people in Tiannan."

"Just hang in there, we'll be there soon."

"We're not far from Jiangcheng anymore, only 30 kilometers away."

“Those soldiers and guardians are still protecting us. They have suffered heavy casualties, but they haven’t abandoned us.”

"Tiannan is closer to Jiangcheng, so there is still hope. Satellite cities that are farther away are probably in a worse situation."

Just when the atmosphere was oppressive and everyone was on the verge of a breakdown, some of the older people began to comfort them.

Although they are not as physically strong as young people, they have a better mindset. They know that complaining is pointless and will only make the atmosphere more oppressive and hopeless.

"Let's not talk about these discouraging things. Did you guys watch the mentor competition yesterday?" Someone started to change the subject, which worked well, and the oppressive atmosphere began to ease.

"I watched it. I watched it twice on my phone."

"Me too, my phone battery dies right after I use it."

"I watched it three times. If I weren't in a hurry to travel, I could have watched it all night."

"Ye Xing's three berserk transformations were so cool!"

"Ah Dong, didn't you say that half of the Avengers would be eliminated in this mentor assessment? You were wrong, weren't you?"

"Haha, that's a real slap in the face, my face is all swollen!"

No matter the time, topics about the King's Plan and the Avengers always resonate with people, regardless of age, gender, or profession, and everyone can chat about them enthusiastically.

The anger in Su Xiao's eyes slowly disappeared, replaced by a kind of light.

That is the light of worship.

He is a fan of Lin Feng and a loyal supporter of the Avengers.

He could recite any information about the Avengers from memory.

At first, it was just fans worshipping their idols, but gradually, the worship turned into a faith, a belief.

In his view, the Avengers were the saviors of the future. Even though many people saw this as just self-hypnosis and self-comfort, he firmly believed it.

It is this glimmer of hope and spiritual sustenance that prevents the painful life from becoming hopeless.

"Rest where you are."

The procession didn't stop until nightfall.

"Mom, take a rest."

Su Xiao said something to her mother and then sat down on the ground, not caring at all about whether it was dirty or not.

His face was blackened by gunfire, and his body was hardly cleaner than the ground.

He was exhausted and starving after a day of traveling, and if he could, he would have just lay down.

"Okay, drink some water first, then eat something later."

Su's mother said with some heartache, as she unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and handed it to Su Xiao.

"You drink first."

Su Xiao said to her mother.

They were running low on water, with only three bottles of mineral water left. The mother hadn't drunk much water in the past few days, and her lips were chapped.

"it is good."

Su's mother took a small sip and then handed the mineral water to Su Xiao.

"If you don't drink, I won't drink either."

Su Xiao forced her mother to drink a few more sips before taking the half-empty bottle of mineral water. She resisted the urge to gulp it down, taking small sips instead.

Water and food are running low, and we don't know how many days we'll have to travel, so we have to be careful.

After drinking some water and eating a simple piece of bread, Su Xiao felt a little sleepy.

Nighttime is for rest, but it's too dark to see the road clearly, and there's no energy to keep going.

"Look, there's an Easter egg!"

Just as Su Xiao took out the blanket and was about to go to sleep, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Easter egg?

Su Xiao was completely confused.
He secretly complained that the other person was making a fuss over nothing and disturbing others' sleep late at night.

He didn't care at first, but when more and more people exclaimed and the words "Plan to Become King" were faintly heard, he realized what was happening and quickly took out his phone and pressed the power button.

His phone had 30% battery left, and although he had brought a power bank, it had run out of power on the way.

In his plan, the next time the machine will start will be during the third phase of the King's Plan.

"There really was an Easter egg!"

On the official website of "Project King", there is a notice about the "Easter egg". It is not the third project, but a special episode, which is a special Easter egg for the audience.

It starts promptly at eight o'clock, and there's still an hour to go.

The exhausted crowd waited quietly, even those who were extremely sleepy were trying to stay awake.

An hour later, a special program called "Easter Egg" began to air.

The video is very short, only half an hour long, but thanks to the production team's excellent editing, it is highly tense and exciting throughout, full of suspense.

"Truly worthy of being called the Child of Light!"

At the very beginning, Alex, the "Child of Light," was the most eye-catching focus. His terrifying speed and the way he moved like a streak of light drew gasps from the crowd.

The other students who obtained the Easter eggs were also very strong, not much weaker than Alex. There were also two incredibly lucky ones whose Easter eggs were delivered to their doorsteps, leaving them no choice but to accept them. There were also unlucky ones who caught the Easter eggs but were attacked and ambushed, ending up with nothing and injured.

In short, it's impossible to determine who will get the Easter egg until the very last moment.

Why is Lin Feng blowing bubbles?

"Why aren't you going to grab the Easter eggs? What are you doing?"

"It feels like something big is about to happen..."

The event lasted 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, the atmosphere began to stir because Lin Feng appeared.

Among them, the footage of Lin Feng alone lasts for five minutes.

With 555 trainees, Lin Feng alone occupied one-sixth of the time, making it almost a personal show for him.

And the way they showed it off was incredibly cool.

After blowing bubbles for three or four minutes, Lin Feng began his performance. The way he seemed to be freely traversing and strolling in the void was incredibly cool.

If it weren't for the fear of attracting the attention of monsters, the repressed people would want to scream to release the pressure and exhaustion in their hearts.

"Lin Feng's combination soul skill is too powerful."

"People in the comments are saying that this is an unprecedented combat system."

"Lin Feng possesses two sources of power; perhaps it won't be long before he becomes a king."

"A 22-year-old champion, I really can't believe it!"

Su Xiao stared at her phone, her eyes gleaming.

Su's mother sat beside her son, watching the program with him and feeling his admiration and excitement.

She was just a housewife who knew nothing about demons or spirits, nor did she know how powerful Lin Feng's combination of soul skills was.

All she knew was that her son greatly admired the young man named Lin Feng.

She was very grateful to Lin Feng for giving her son a hard-won glimmer of light during his darkest days of suffering.
