"It is now a matter of life and death. The people of the kingdom must learn to adapt to this new world."
Ashlia stood up and looked at Ryan beside her:
"Anyway, evacuate the troops first and keep a close eye on Eddie. I have a feeling that the first wave of the Federation's offensive is coming... From the inside out, or from the outside in, we cannot afford to be careless."
"Understood," Ryan nodded, looking at Eshilia with a look of relief in his eyes, "I will arrange everything."
Ryan walked out of the room. At the same time, Manniu pulled Grace over and said he wanted to talk to him privately.
After everyone left the conference room, Ashlia stood alone in the empty room, staring at the reflection on the table.
"Your Highness, do you think the kingdom can withstand this test?"
Sharduo raised her head, stared at the chandelier blankly, and sighed.
She rubbed her belly gently. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. She was exhausted from the long journey and had not had dinner yet.
"I wonder what Perlis is doing now..."
Sharduo smiled lightly, then turned and walked out of the meeting room.
......
“Smells so good…”
Taking the small bowl of food handed over by Tianshi, Perlis couldn't help but murmur softly, while using two bamboo chopsticks to fiddle with the shell-like things in the bowl.
"This is called crab meat pot, a dish made with crab, chicken feet, potatoes, rice cakes, and shrimps," Tian Shi explained to Perlis quietly, "Miss Perlis, can you use chopsticks?"
"Hmm?" Perlis looked at the two bamboo chopsticks in her hand. "I guess I know how to use them. Dilraba also needs chopsticks."
"That's great. As expected, the Dila people brought a lot of customs from us."
Tianshi's words confirmed Perlis's previous guess: [Canghuang] and the Qilang people must have a connection, and it can even be said that a large part of the Dila people's culture is a derivative of the Qilang people.
"..."
Next to Perlis, Carly was curiously picking up half of a crab with chopsticks and then taking a light bite with her mouth.
Her face was filled with excitement, and she gently patted Perlis beside her and said:
"This is super delicious, little white flower, eat it quickly."
"Okay," Perlis also picked up half a crab and took a bite of the meat part, "Hmm... delicious..."
The crab meat is fresh and fragrant, soaked in the flavor of the seasoning, bringing out the freshness of the meat itself to the extreme.
Perlis took another sip of the delicious hot soup and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
This was her first time eating Qilangcai. She was afraid that she would not be able to adapt to it, but she did not expect it to taste so good.
"Wow, you've already started eating? You didn't even wait for me..."
Saya came out of the RV nearby and slipped to the campfire in the blink of an eye.
She had changed into a more casual outfit: a gray hooded sweatshirt, a gray newsboy cap, denim hot pants, and black stockings wrapped around her thighs, full of energy.
What concerned Perlis was that she was still wearing the noise-cancelling headphones, as if they were glued to her head.
"Huh... it's still comfortable next to the campfire..."
Shaya sat down next to Tianshi, took the bowl handed to her by the young writer, and also scooped a bowl of crab meat stew from the iron bucket on the campfire, and began to eat with relish.
Although she looked like she didn't care, Perlis noticed that her eyes would look in a certain direction from time to time, then look back after a brief pause, as if she was monitoring something.
Is it related to those noise-canceling headphones?
While Perlis was thinking, Carly had already spoken to Tianshi beside her:
"Since Miss Sweet Poetry is a writer, why is she here?"
"I'm writing a volume on the apocalypse recently, so I came out to scout for locations," Tian Shi said quietly. "Ms. Shaya is a leader among the wave riders, and I feel relieved to be with her."
Wave riders... probably refer to the kind of people running around on the Kuroshio land...
Perlis looked at Shaya who was standing beside her, only to see her smiling a little embarrassedly, and then she said:
"No... I just learned some skills from the master... um..."
"Her master is [Wolf Walker] Burigede," Tianshi introduced with a chuckle, "the sixth seat of [Protector of the Great Wall]."
"That's amazing." Perlis nodded in affirmation.
"No...ah..." Saya's cheeks were slightly flushed, a little shy, "Ahhh, Xiaotian, stop praising me..."
"I'm not praising you, I'm just stating an objective fact," Tian Shi smiled quietly, "Anyway, this is why I'm camping outside."
"Miss Sweet, aren't you afraid of those [wolves]?" Carly asked. "By the way, I was a little concerned from the beginning. Won't the bonfire attract the wolves?"
"No, wolves use heat to identify each other's tribes, and this bonfire is specially made. The temperature is similar to their recognition range. They will regard us as the same kind," Shaya explained for Carly, "As for Tianshi, she is actually very strong and will not be afraid."
"That's right," Tian Shi nodded quietly, "I'm very good, I'm not afraid, hehe..."
Her smile is so adorable, and she looks like a sweet lily. She doesn't look like someone who can fight.
Perhaps, what Shaya meant by "powerful" is courage... How can a small writer be a martial arts expert...
......
2) The Wave Rider on the Black Tide (Part 8)
After dinner, the group chatted by the campfire and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After all, there have been very few examples of mutual visits between the Admir Continent and the East Continent. As Qilang people, Shaya and Tianshi are full of curiosity about the mainland island, and Perlis and Carly also need to get more information about the Black Tide Land from them.
When listening to Carly's stories about the various countries and customs on the continent of Admir, Saya and Tianshi looked very engrossed, obviously completely absorbed in the story.
After a long while, when Carly finished her story, Shaya said with emotion:
"I always feel like I'm dreaming."
"Why do you say that?" Perlis was a little curious.
"Because, from your description, that continent is like a world that has never been exterminated by the Kuroshio."
Saya said, counting on her fingers, and whispered:
"Thebites... Itranes... Delas... Wilkins... Kingdomes... Federationes... It's just like the Great Union of the past..."
"The spark of civilization was left there," Tian Shi nodded. "In the entire East Continent, there is no other civilization except Qi Lang, not to mention the Extreme Continent which is a completely forbidden area."
That's true... The area of the Admir continent may not even be one-tenth of the East Continent now, but each region has a completely different civilization.
According to a native Ademir, there is nothing wrong with this.
But if we cut the perspective to the level of the entire Ursa continent, it seems like it was done on purpose... It's not natural at all...
Maybe someone manipulated all this.
"..."
Regarding this topic, Perlis kept a careful eye on it and decided to pay attention to it in the future.
Then, the two continued to talk with the two Miss Qilang and asked about things in Qilang.
From the conversation, they got a general idea of some cities in Qilang: Qingcheng shrouded in mist and rain, foggy and misty surrounding mountains, Chaoqu on the top of the mountains, and other areas with distinct characteristics.
"Before the Day of Judgment, the Qilang people were the only nation that had not joined the Great Union. Therefore, we were able to enter a state of resistance at the fastest speed when the black tide engulfed the earth, and held on until the Holy Envoy of Heaven sealed the black tide, thus preserving the integrity of the city to the greatest extent possible."
"After the Day of Judgment, even though alien species were sweeping across the land, the people of Qilang still relied on their wisdom and courage to resist the invasion of the black tide while building the Great Wall, preserving the flame of civilization and allowing the cultures of various ethnic groups to continue."
As Saya said this, her deep blue eyes were filled with admiration, as if reflecting the figures standing in front of the black tide.
Her tone was full of admiration, and her voice even trembled a little:
"Even in the East Great Wall where the battle with the Kuroshio followers was the most intense, we were always in an advantageous position! We have the [Sky Eyes] precision cruise missile launch system, which can easily destroy the gathering Kuroshio followers. We also have the [QL-101 "Blue Sky Fortress" gunship], which can launch a devastating attack on the Kuroshio derivatives from high altitude. Admiral Yan Chu..."
"She is a military fan, so she is very excited." Miss Tianshi on the side smiled quietly.
"Because we are strong now!" Shaya couldn't suppress the excitement in her voice. "Before Qi Lang's army grew in size, the black tide would invade our hinterland from time to time. At that time, we relied on mediocre weapons and drove them out at the cost of blood. But now we are strong and don't have to compromise!"
"That sounds exciting." Carly smiled softly, then looked at Pearlis and nodded.
They all noticed the key information: the Qilang people's military strength is very powerful.
Although the Federation on the other side possesses a killing weapon of the level of the "Tower of Babel", it has always concealed the existence of Qi Lang and has not attempted to conquer Qi Lang by force.
You know, in addition to the Tower of Babel, the Federation also has a large number of sky carriers, which should be able to carry out landing operations against Qi Lang.
But they didn't. Excluding special reasons, there was only one possibility -
——The military strength of the Federation and Qi Lang may be very close.
The relationship between the Federation and Qi Lang is really confusing... We can only wait until we get more information to figure it out.
Thinking of this, Perlis said softly:
"Where is Miss Saya's hometown?"
As soon as she said this, Perlis realized that she might have asked the wrong question - Shaya, who had been very excited before, was slightly stunned, and the light in her eyes dimmed a lot.
"I'm sorry... Could it be that..."
"It's okay, no need to apologize, your guess is right," Saya sighed softly, "My hometown has been destroyed by the black tide."
Is this why we walk on the black tide land...Perlis and Carly both sighed in their hearts, but didn't know what to say.
"However, I have moved on and will not be hurt by this topic. Miss Pearlis does not need to feel guilty about it."
Saya smiled bitterly, and then continued:
"My hometown is Shangshu, which was originally a port hub, but more than a decade ago..."
Before she finished her words, a call came from the intercom on her waist:
"Shaya, I'm Su Yao. Something is approaching the tortoise. Please be alert immediately."
Something? Perlis stood up subconsciously, feeling the entanglement of the factor, and immediately caught sight of the huge thing that was approaching rapidly——
——That was the [alpha wolf] she met when she landed, and there was a large group of [wolves] following behind it.
Perlis immediately turned in the direction of the wolves' attack, and to her great surprise, Shaya turned in the same direction almost at the same time:
"Received, please return to the team, we are ready to withdraw."
She can instantly identify the location of the wolf pack...? Perlis frowned slightly, and Saya turned to Tianshi beside her and said softly:
"Xiao Tian, are you going back to the RV?"
"It doesn't matter. I can just record it," Tian Shi said very quietly. "This is a rare opportunity."
After saying that, she took out the little notebook and started writing something on it.
Even as they were talking, countless tiny blue dots of light had spread out from the campfire, and the [little birds] instantly formed a network capable of monitoring this large area.
"Little White Flower, are you ready?" Carly said softly, with a faint blue light flashing in her eyes - she was monitoring in real time.
"Ah."
Perlis responded softly, and a small ball of white flame rose in her hand.
This time, she had made preparations in advance and was determined to ensure that the "wolf" would never return.
"..."
At this moment, a roar that seemed to be hidden beneath the space sounded, as if the entire space was shaking.
In this vibration, the energy in the air gradually disappeared, all moving towards the blasphemous creation.
——The countless black claws on the back of the [Alpha Wolf] were waving as it ran. Its eyes were still wide open, and its huge golden eyes were staring straight at Perlis.
At this moment, Perlis was sure that the [Alpha Wolf] was coming for her.
.......
2) The Wave Rider on the Black Tide (Part 9)
"Target confirmed."
Saya whispered, lifting the grenade launcher that had been placed next to the campfire and picking up a silver spearhead.
This is the [Shakespear], a weapon that can continuously destroy the target through high-frequency vibrations, and is a type of weapon that has a special attack on Kuroshio derivatives.
Saya calmly inserted the shock spear into the grenade launcher from her head, then raised the grenade with one hand in a dashing and heroic manner and closed one eye:
