Apocalypse Arrival - chapter 243

Chu Qianxun’s hand subconsciously stroked the double blades worn on the waist. The weapons that accompanied her through countless battles were taken from the hands of a demon, who lived alone in the mountain and built a wooden house with a swing by the spring water, living a life without conflict. 

In the previous life, the demon was just a powerful and terrifying man-eater to Chu Qianxun. Because of her weakness, she only had time to see the horrible side of the creature.

They were fierce, cruel and fed on humans, and were a race that was completely opposed to humans. But from Chu Qianxun’s current perspective, she also saw the other side of this human natural enemy.

Sometimes, she couldn’t help but think about why such a cruel creature with both wisdom and own emotions came to earth.

At the gate of Qingdun Base, Gan Xiaodan stood in the shadow and looked at the caravan far away.

It turned out that they dared to throw themselves into the trap and ran to Magic City.

She gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind, and walked to another caravan ready to go. In front of the man who led the team, she took out two first-order crystal cores.

“Please take me to Magic City with you, this is the fee.”

The man looked at Gan Xiaodan a few times, slowly reached out his hand to take the crystal cores from her hand, and pinched her face, “Okay, keep up.”

Gan Xiaodan didn’t care about the men’s attitude toward her. In fact, she had long been used to men’s explicit gazes. On the contrary, such gazes were better than those indifferent ones, so she may not even have the capital to exchange.

She knew that Shennai could no longer produce Holy Blood, and they must be anxious to catch Ye Peitian again. As long as she told the people that Ye Peitian had appeared near Magic City, she would definitely be able to get as many benefits as the previous time.

‘Qianxun, it’s not my fault. Who told you to be so cruel?’ She thought with gritted teeth.

The walls of Magic City Base towered into the clouds, wide and stretched, almost invisible at a glance. Compared with the place, the fence made up of various waste piles like Qingdun was a bit shabby.

Standing at the foot of the city wall, Gan Xiaodan looked up. She couldn’t help being impressed by the magnificent building. The densely protruding muzzles of the wall could make the residents feel safe.

There was a wide chasm in front of the city gate. There was a suspension bridge over the chasm. There were all kinds of people and horse teams passing through the chasm. There were neatly dressed priests coming in and out, preaching teachings, and it looked lively and prosperous.

Gan Xiaodan, who had spent several months in a dilapidated place like Qingdun, almost shed tears while watching the bustling streets.

It was safe and stable. As long as there was a crystal core, one could buy anything they wanted. High-level demons would never come to Magic City easily.

There was no need for large demons to attack the city wall like Qingdun, living in the horrible shadow of the city being destroyed by demons.

It was where she should live. She must let herself stay there, and never go back to the shabby pier and mix with the filthy mercenaries to make a living.

It was best to find out where Qianxun and the others were first, and then ask for more information, so that she could have more chips.

While Gan Xiaodan was calculating in her mind, someone emerged from the shadow of the city gate.

There was a crowded street in front of her, and she felt dizzy in the harsh sunlight.

“Xiaodan.” 

Behind her suddenly there was a voice calling her name.

Gan Xiaodan was startled by the familiar voice and turned her head stiffly.

In front of a brick wall facing the sun, there was a person standing with her back against the wall. Her hands folded on her chest, and her legs bent against the wall. She had obviously stood there for a while.

“Qianxun, Qianxun,” Gan Xiaodan panicked. Her eyes moved around, and then she quickly weaved a sentence, “I just happened to be here. By such a coincidence, you also came to the city?”

It’s okay, I haven’t done anything yet, Qianxun could’t find out.

Gan Xiaodan tried to comfort her fearful heart. She hugged the rags in her arms and curled her neck.

Standing in the sun, Chu Qianxun looked arbitrary and free. Her skin was fair and her expression was good, almost unchanged from when she was a student. The years of rampaging demons seemed to have never left a trace on her, and she even had a bit of charm.

She was wearing armor made of a high-level demon’s body. Behind her back was a huge sword box with hidden weapons, military goggles on her forehead, combat boots under her feet, and a dagger on her leg. The outfit was something Gan Xiaodan could’t get for a whole year of food.

She looked down at the tattered cloth shoes with holes on her feet. Enduring the sorrow and sobs in her heart, she whispered pleading, “Qianxun, I beg you, we were classmates, please give me a hand. I really can’t live anymore.”

She knew that the classmate standing in front of her looked at her from head to toe with a superior attitude and compassion.
