Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 22 The calm before the storm

Gao Yang found Dulong with ease and started today's training with him.

Two hours later, Gao Yang, who had finished his morning exercise, appeared outside the Military Affairs Office.

The Military Affairs Office was still deserted, with three young men in military uniforms sitting back in their chairs, bored.

However, after seeing Gao Yang walk in, the three of them immediately sat up straight and did not look away.

Gao Yang stopped in front of one of them and said, "I want to exchange for armor."

The three people from the Military Affairs Office naturally recognized Gao Yang, the peasant who threatened them with a sword, but this time, after they heard Gao Yang's words, the man opposite Gao Yang quickly took out a booklet and placed it in front of him.

Obviously, they already knew about Gao Yang's battle record from other channels.

Even the fanatical follower Heiyao died under his sword. This horrific record forced them to consider their own lives.

"Here is all the inventory we have at the moment." The young man opposite Gao Yang smiled flatteringly and continued, "Please see if there is anything you like."

Gao Yang looked carefully and then chose a set of leather armor that looked pretty good.

A complete set of leather armor includes upper body, lower body, integrated wrist guards and a pair of leather boots. The inside of this leather armor is engraved with runes, which can carry fighting spirit and make the defense stronger.

This set of leather armor cost him a total of thirty merit points.

These days he had killed a total of forty-seven Old Believers and gained 47 points of merit, which had now shrunk by two-thirds.

But it's worth it.

Just as the young man opposite Gao Yang stood up and walked towards the warehouse behind him, Gao Yang called him and added, "Prepare another steel plate to protect my chest."

"Ok."

The young man agreed and left quickly.

A few minutes later, he appeared in front of Gao Yang carrying a huge canvas bag.

Placing the canvas bag on the table, he looked at Gao Yang and said, "Everything you need is here. Please check it out for yourself."

Gao Yang opened the cloth bag and saw a dark brown leather armor top at first glance.

The color and weight made him very satisfied.

"Thank you."

After Gao Yang finished the inspection, he picked up the canvas bag, said thank you, and turned to leave.

After leaving the Military Affairs Office, the cloth bag in his hand had disappeared.

If you have a backpack, you should naturally make use of it.

After returning to his residence, Gao Yang couldn't wait to take out the entire set of leather armor and put them on one by one.

After putting on the entire set of leather armor, he took two steps on the spot and made movements such as waving his arms, which was very smooth.

He patted the solid leather armor on his chest, and a strong sense of security emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Then a faint fighting spirit rose from Gao Yang's body. After the fighting spirit came into contact with the inside of the leather armor, it successfully lit up the runes engraved on the leather armor.

The next moment, Gao Yang's fighting spirit clung to the surface of the leather armor, and even the joints of his elbows and knees were covered with a thin layer of fighting spirit protection.

"Well, there is such an effect."

Gao Yang poked the Dou Qi protection at his elbow with his fingers and was quite satisfied, but the armor was a bit troublesome to put on.

But taking it off is easy.

As Gao Yang put his hand on the leather armor, the leather armor suddenly disappeared and was put into Gao Yang's backpack.

He then did the same thing and took off the entire set of armor in just a few seconds.

After spending some time getting familiar with the armor, Gao Yang took out the Black Diamond again and began to strengthen his body.

This was one of the few things he could do.

The day's training passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was evening.

After dinner, Gao Yang put on the leather armor he had just exchanged and waited for the horn to sound.

But even after the sun had completely set, Gao Yang still hadn't heard the familiar horn sound. He frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

According to previous experience, the horn should have sounded just after the sun set. Why hasn't it sounded for so long today?

Gao Yang opened the wooden door and walked out.

Soon, he arrived at Dulong's residence.

"Gao Yang, you are wearing armor." Dulong was a little surprised to see Gao Yang fully armed.

"It just so happens that I have enough merit, so I exchanged it for a set of leather armor. Maybe it can save my life."

Gao Yang flicked the wrist guard on his arm with his fingers, and a dull sound was heard.

"That's true. Having armor is much better than having no armor."

Dulong was wearing armor. Although it was a bit old, it was still more defensive than the leather armor on Gao Yang.

Gao Yang sat down on a chair nearby and asked the question in his mind: "The horn didn't sound tonight."

Dulong was startled, then suddenly realized: "This is normal, the horn didn't sound, which means those lunatics won't attack us tonight.

Before, the old believers attacked us every day after you came, which gave you an illusion.

In fact, these old believers will not attack continuously."

It turned out to be the case.

Gao Yang nodded slightly.

What else could he say? When he needed experience the most, these old believers went on strike.

It is strange to say that when he first came, the old believers were like a flood and a beast to him.

Now, only a dozen days have passed and the situation has reversed.

For the old believers, Gao Yang was the real monster.

Since the old believers did not come, Gao Yang could not gain experience, but he would not waste this time.

After saying goodbye to Dulong, Gao Yang quickly returned to his residence and continued to practice.

After these days of training, his originally strong body became leaner, and his muscles were like steel cables.

The muscles all over the body seem a little smaller, but the strength and explosiveness contained in them are stronger than before.

Gao Yang held the hilt of the Heiyao sword with both hands and began to swing the sword continuously.

The black sword cut through the air, making a hissing sound.

The night passed quickly.

Gao Yang woke up on the wooden bed. After half the night of hard training, Gao Yang's total fighting spirit increased by three points, and now it has reached 43 points.

It was still an uninterrupted regular life until evening.

The expected trumpet sounded again.

Gao Yang put away his armor, took out the black jade, and continued to forge it.

For seven days, the low horn seemed to have misfired and never sounded again.

Gao Yang had visited Dulong several times for this reason, and every time he went, Dulong's expression became more serious.

Although Dulong did not say it explicitly, Gao Yang had already keenly sensed the difference in the atmosphere.

It's not just Dulong. As the time of the old believers disappearing gets longer and longer, an oppressive atmosphere gradually envelopes the fortress.

Gao Yang walked out the door, looked up at the sun that was about to be completely swallowed by darkness, and sighed slightly.

"The storm is brewing. I wonder what the scene will be like when the old days come back again."
