Although it is now close to evening and the bustling area is shrouded in the setting sun, the scene before you is as beautiful as a picture of a golden rice paddy.

Generally speaking, it has reached this point in time, and the number of pedestrians on the road will naturally decrease relatively less, but for the most prosperous area of the "Heavenly Kingdom", the "royal capital", the number of people on the street is no less than the number of horse-drawn carriages during the day.

As a result, it was already half an hour later after he walked out of the hospital, and Li Hu was walking on the side of the street with Feng Xue, because he received a notice from the captain of the ZP7 unit, so he was now on the way to the ZP7 headquarters.

"Good...... It hurts. ”

In order to alleviate the pain, Li Hu gently stroked the buttocks that had just been pierced by the needle, and muttered with a wrinkled face in pain.

"What, my body obviously has no problems at all, so I shouldn't accept that broken request."

"You're satisfied, it's been a lot of hard work for us to get the hospital's approval, and we'll let you out of the hospital after you've been injected with the medicine, otherwise you'll still be locked up in the hospital and won't be able to get out."

"But it's just a strong anesthetic, why do you want to stick ten needles in my ass in a row! It still hurts. ”

For Li Hu, who was most afraid of needles, the price paid was inevitably too great, as if he had experienced the pain of a trip to the Yama Palace, and even whenever the picture at that time flashed in his mind, Li Hu's ass would instinctively begin to feel a dull pain.

But after hearing Li Hu's words, Feng Xue shook his head and sighed deeply.

"You're underestimating powerful anesthetics."

“…… Well? ”

"The powerful anesthetic is a powerful medicine developed by the Spirit Country, one of the three major countries, and the degree of anesthesia is not at the same level as ordinary anesthetics."

Feng Xue narrowed his eyes and continued to explain:

"If an ordinary person is injected with a strong anesthetic, it usually takes about three days to wake up, and in severe cases, it may also affect the nervous system, although I don't know why you wake up in just a few hours, and it seems that there is no problem."

This is also the question that Feng Xue is most puzzled about, obviously there is no problem with his body after being hit by a strong anesthetic, she can't help but look at Li Hu and look at his body carefully, but with the naked eye, she definitely can't see what structure Li Hu's body is.

"Huh? What's going on there up front? Why are so many people standing there? ”

At this moment, Li Hu suddenly stopped his steps, and then pointed ahead suspiciously, and Feng Xue followed the direction pointed out by his hand to look over.

As Li Hu said, there seemed to be a large number of people gathered at the intersection in front of him, they were standing on both sides of the street like the common people who greeted the king, it was already dusk, and so many people could still be seen gathered together, and what was even more strange was that even Li Hu and Fengxue, who were standing in the distance, could hear their mouths constantly cheering.

"I don't know, let's go over and see."

After Feng Xue proposed, Li Hu nodded in agreement.

Then the two quickened their pace and walked into the crowd, which seemed to be more people than they imagined.

"There's a lot of people here."

"Excuse me, I'll borrow it."

Finally squeezed into the front row, Li Hu followed Fengxue and took a deep breath, then raised his head to follow the eyes of others, and found that a group of people were walking leisurely in the middle of the street, which seemed to be the reason why these people gathered on this street.

Cao Yu, who was riding on a horse, looked around and saw a smile on his face after seeing the crowd of people who kept cheering.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be almost night after returning to the royal capital."

"Yes, but there are still so many people greeting us."

"Sure enough, the three-day mission was not done in vain."

Li Hu didn't understand why the crowd was cheering for them, was it a visitor from the Spirit Country? Or is it some famous research team, Li Hu frowned puzzled.

"Fengxue, who are they?"

"I remember that they seemed to be from the ZP2 troops, because the ZP1 and ZP2 units were both on difficult missions outside the royal capital, and it seemed that they had just returned."

Feng Xue put her hand on her chin and explained, for some reason Li Hu shrank his shoulders after hearing this, revealing a dejected expression.

"Hey~ I'm really envious, there will be so many people cheering for them when they come back from the mission, if only our ZP7 troops had such good treatment."

"I don't think this kind of thing matters, but you just need to work hard and work hard to get promoted to a higher unit."

At this time-

"Babbling ——!"

At the intersection on the left, there is a girl crouching in place and screaming.

Li Hu held his breath and immediately knew the reason.

The reason was simple, because there was a carriage in front of her that seemed to be out of control approaching her at an alarming speed, and it was probably too frightened to move when she crossed the street, no wonder, but if she continued like this, there was no doubt that the girl would be hit by the carriage.

"Oh no, that kid is in danger!"

Before he could say this, Li Hu's body had already moved involuntarily, he applied force to his legs, and stepped forward with all his might, while closing the distance towards the girl as fast as he could, trying to get her out of that position before the carriage crashed into her, but-

- Is it too late?

Even though Li Hu's speed seemed difficult to capture in the eyes of ordinary people, it was still too far away from the girl's position, as if he had the illusion that time was slowing down, Li Hu stared at the carriage that was getting closer and closer to the girl, and negative thoughts occurred in his heart.

But the next moment, Li Hu stopped his pace.

Of course, it was not because she had already given up, because Li Hu saw that the girl had avoided the carriage and stood somewhere else, but instead of relying on her own strength, another person was holding the girl in the form of a princess hug, and that person seemed to be from the ZP2 unit.

"Hello, it's okay anymore."

A calm smile appeared on Cao Yu's face, he looked at the girl in his arms who closed her eyes tightly because of fear, and then the girl seemed to realize that she was safe, so she opened her eyes tremblingly and looked at Cao Yu.

"Thank you, big brother."

Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone's eyes widened for a moment, but in the next second, the already lively street now raised even more excited screams, and the continuous cheers of male and female hybrids boiled the whole street, as if a superstar was at a concert.

"Wow! It's really amazing, worthy of the ZP2 troops. ”

"Well done! Lord Cao! ”

"That guy, good ...... It's amazingly fast. ”

Li Hu, who was originally trying to save the girl, also stood stunned and stared at the place, his eyes round, and he made a small voice from his heart and felt admiration.

"Now, right! Right! The people in the ZP2 unit are all super powerful. ”

Then a man standing next to him excitedly accosted Li Hu like a super fan, and Li Hu let out an "um" sound and nodded in agreement.

It seems that there is still a gap between himself and the people of the ZP2 unit, and at this moment, "Bang! With a sound, Li Hu felt that someone on the back of his head was lightly knocked with a hand knife, and turned to see that person was Fengxue.

"Hey, Li Hu has seen enough, let's go quickly, we still have to rush to the headquarters."

"yes."

Li Hu still has important things to do now, and he can't stay here anymore, in short, he still has to rush to the ZP7 headquarters first, but at this moment, as if to cooperate with this point in time, Li Hu's stomach suddenly made a "gurgling" sound.

"Hey...... That one....... ”

Probably because Fengxue also heard this voice, she tilted her head while folding her arms.

"What? Are you hungry? ”

"Looks like that, why don't we go somewhere else to eat and then gather at headquarters?"

Li Hu scratched the back of his head and made a suggestion, and Feng Xue took out his pocket watch from his pocket to confirm the time.

"It seems that there is still plenty of time now, so there is no way, so let's go eat something."

After putting the pocket watch back in his pocket, Feng Xue put his index finger against his chin and squinted his eyes to think hard, so Li Hu immediately raised his excited voice as if he had already decided:

"Needless to say! Let's go eat the newest Big Mac—"

"Okay, let's go eat cream puffs."

Feng Xue's sudden decision interrupted Li Hu's speech, and Li Hu let out a surprised "Huh——! At the same time, he showed a disappointed expression.

"I've kept you waiting."

Feng Xue smiled contentedly after taking the bag of cream puffs handed over by the clerk, but Li Hu was the opposite of her, his face was infected with trouble.

"Hey, why are you eating cream puffs again, didn't you just eat them yesterday? And it seems that I have eaten it the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday. ”

Li Hu looked at the bag of cream puffs in his hand, and couldn't help but sweat on his cheeks, not that he hated eating cream puffs, but no matter what kind of food it was, if he ate it often, even if it was delicious, he would feel tired, but for Feng Xue, who likes to eat cream puffs the most, her behavior seemed to be denying this theory, and I saw her taste the cream puffs carefully, and said indifferently:

"What's the matter, isn't it? Anyway, the cream puffs are super delicious, and the top 100 people today will also get a small gift. ”

"You said this little gift."

Li Hu picked up the husky key ring given by the clerk.

"It's cute and cute, but the main thing is that cream puffs are desserts, and desserts are not suitable for filling your stomach."

At this moment, perhaps because they heard the conversation between Li Hu and Feng Xue, the two passers-by who passed by on the opposite side showed a mocking smile.

"Ha, there are still people who like to eat cream puffs these days, it's really childlike."

"That's it, huh."

Perhaps inadvertently hearing their words, Fengxue involuntarily stopped his pace, and blue tendons suddenly appeared on his forehead.

"What !!"

If it's just a simple ridicule of Fengxue being too young, that's a trivial matter, Fengxue generally doesn't care about them, but the most hateful, and the most unbearable point of Fengxue, is that they dare to insult Fengxue's favorite delicacy - cream puffs to their faces.

Feng Xue involuntarily clenched his fists, this was an absolutely unforgivable sin they had committed, as serious as a person mocking the faith of a religious believer in front of him.

"Wait, you two stop me!"

After sensing that the situation was not good, Li Hu panicked and cast his eyes on the wind and snow, only to see that she was slowly putting a ring into her middle finger, which seemed to be-

"Huh! Spirit...... Ring! Calm down! Snow. ”

Li Hu smiled bitterly in front of her as if to appease Feng Xue, but Feng Xue still ignored it, she touched her middle finger and thumb to each other and aimed at the ground under the feet of the two passers-by, and then shouted angrily:

"C-Class Thunder Elemental Current!"

As if to match her words, an electric current popped out from between the fingers of the wind and snow like marbles, quickly entered the ground and attacked the two passers-by, and after being hit by this electric shock, his legs were numb on the spot, and he fell to the ground, even Li Hu was not spared.

A few minutes after the incident, Li Hu followed Fengxue and walked halfway again.

"Hey, Fengxue, this can't be done, the captain has made it clear that you can't use elemental methods on civilians."

"Who made them ......"

"And you can beat them, why don't you attack me together."

After Li Hu made an excited voice to protest, Feng Xue, who had recovered his composure, shook his arm with a wry smile.

"No...... Sorry, I didn't control it. ”

A few seconds later, Feng Xue continued:

"By the way, Li Hu, speaking of which, I remember that you seemed to have spent a few months in the Demon Kingdom when you were a child."

"Yes, at that time, my sister Li Yao, and other people in the orphanage all spent some time in the Demon Country."

"Then what do you think of the Demon Country?"

"Huh?"

Because of the sudden problem of the wind and snow, Li Hu frowned inexplicably.

"I mean, what do you think of a creature like a demon?"

"Demon, at that time, everyone in the orphanage was killed by the demon except me and Xiao Yao, but I think the demon is the same as the human race, in essence, there is not much difference, human beings have good people and bad people, and demons also have good demons and bad demons, of course, I have not only met bad demons in the demon country, but also met good demons."

After Li Hu patiently expressed his feelings about the demon, Feng Xue nodded as if he had fulfilled his wish.

"Well, thank you for telling me this."

"Why are you asking about this?"

"Nothing, just a little ......"

However, in the next moment-

Violent tremors hit here.

"What's going on?"

"Hmm......? What was that? ”

It was as if a bomb had exploded nearby, and the streets, the houses, were all shaking violently, and a piercing explosion could be heard in the distance.

The people who noticed this sound seemed to be not only Li Hu and Fengxue, but also the nearby pedestrians also subconsciously stopped, and everyone followed the direction of hearing the sound with their ears, and invariably gathered their eyes to the same place.

It was located at the end of a straight street on the right hand side of Li Hu and Fengxue, a distance of up to a kilometer, and a gust of sand and dust a full twenty meters high could be vaguely seen in the distance, and it was obvious that if ordinary people saw this scene, they would definitely immediately understand that it was caused by the explosion just now.

However, since the explosion occurred behind a house about eight meters high at the end of the street, people at the scene could only see a cloud of gray dust, and almost nothing else could be seen, and even if there was no building blocking the view, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see clearly at a distance of about a thousand meters.

"Hey! It seems to be the direction of the entrance to the royal gate. ”

"yes, it seems so."

"Why is there an explosion there?"

Such a noise was heard from the crowd, and as they said, the explosion site was indeed the location of the main gate of the royal capital, that is, the only way to enter the royal capital.

Everyone showed a panicked expression and stared at the direction of the explosion, I am afraid that there are outsiders attacking the royal capital when this happens, but if you think about the benefits, it is also possible that the explosives that transported the royal capital were accidentally exploded, but even if there is more suspicion, it is better to see it is believing.

"For the sake of the safety of the royal capital, let's go and find out what's going on over there."

Feng Xue looked at Li Hu and asked, and then Li Hu immediately made a surprised expression.

"Huh! What about the collection of things? Whatever? If we're late, Captain Rohan will kill us! ”

Hearing Li Hu say this, probably thinking of the picture of being reprimanded by Captain Luohan, Feng Xue twitched his eyebrows for a moment, but then still clenched his fists as if he was strong.

"Although...... Although it may be late, as long as our Captain Luohan explains it well, it should be fine. ”

"Then there's no way, after all, we're from the ZP7 unit, and if something really happens at the gate, it won't be good, so let's go."

"Hmm."

After saying this, the two men quickened their pace, and galloped on the road to the site of the explosion, and after crossing the street, they arrived at the scene in only one minute, much faster than expected.

The next moment-

Seeing the expanding scene in front of him, Li Hu suddenly couldn't understand the situation, and his face was instantly dyed with a trembling color.

"This ...... Be......? ”

"What's going on here?"

Feng Xue also looked at him with a solemn face.

The reason why the two reacted this way is because it may be said that the word "corpses all over the field" is specifically used to describe the scene in front of them.

There were several dying men lying on the ground, all of them were wearing exactly the same black clothes, Li Hu and Fengxue immediately recognized the true identities of these people, generally speaking, these costumes are only owned by guards, so it is not difficult to guess their identities are-

"The guards in charge of guarding the gate have been wiped out!"

And that's not all, look ahead, the gate of about eight meters high in the royal capital seems to be penetrated by a spherical object, there is a huge hole, there are several traces of cracks around the hole, the whole gate continues to make the sound of "quack quack", giving people a feeling as if as long as they touch lightly, they will fall, the ground shows a variety of concave cracks, not just one, but as many as more than ten, this scene in front of you can be said to be quite amazing, here must have been attacked by someone.

"What the hell is going on?"

Li Hu walked over to one of the fainting guards.

"Hey......! Hey, it's okay, wake up, what the hell is going on here? ”

He then shook the guard's shoulders in a panic, but the guard did not react, probably because he was unconscious.

"Looks like I've passed out."

As soon as Li Hu's voice fell, the sound of wind and snow panic immediately came from the side.

"Hey! Li Hu, leave that person alone and put him down. ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Li Hu shifted his gaze to Feng Xue suspiciously, only to see her looking straight ahead with an extremely vigilant attitude, and holding the handle of the knife at her waist in her hand to make a gesture of planning to draw the knife.

"Let's see what's up there."

After speaking, Li Hu followed the gaze of Feng Xue.

The next moment-

The doubts in my heart, coupled with everything that happened at the scene, should be explained.
