Chapter 56: Attacked

Shi Qingyang was not surprised to see Xing Ou here. Xing Ou had been sparing no effort lately to increase his presence. This opportunity would naturally be grasped. Sure enough, Xing Ou soon came over: “Young Master Cheng, I heard that were are going to Anhang City to participate in the competition, so I found a mobile fortress for you to ensure your comfort on the way.”

“Thank you,” Cheng Ran expressed his gratitude.

“Young Master Cheng, I’m really sorry about what you experienced last time in the Spark Hotel. My people were not sensible,” Xing Ou added, rubbing his hands and apologizing.

Cheng Ran was a little unhappy when he thought of what had happened at that time, but Xing Ou apologized, so he would not pursue it this time: “Something like that shouldn’t happen again next time.”

“Yes, yes. Young Master Cheng, don’t worry. Such a thing will never happen again!” Xing Ou nodded: “Young Master Cheng, I believe you will succeed in this competition! I have prepared some gifts for you and your younger brother and sisters in advance. They have been put in the mobile fortress,” Xing Ou also said. Cheng Hong was in a much better position than him, so even if he wanted to please him, he couldn’t. In the end, he didn’t want to give any gifts to Cheng Hong and he simply bought gifts to please Cheng Hong’s children.

Hearing this, Cheng Ran frowned tightly, and Gu Changjin beside him smiled: “The City Lord is very thoughtful, but I’m afraid we don’t have time to deliver it.”

Cheng Ran didn’t know his younger brother and sisters at all. Cheng Hong never let him come into contact with him, and he wouldn’t go so far as to pester someone who had no interest in him at all.

“No problem, no problem, all the same to Young Master Cheng,” Xing Ou said hurriedly, but he was a little disappointed. Since he learned that Cheng Hong was the one organizing the competition, he had been thinking about how to please Cheng Hong. However, he didn’t know that Cheng Ran had a bad relationship with his siblings, and was even unwilling to give gifts…

It seemed that the rumor that Cheng Ran was the illegitimate son of Cheng Hong, was not groundless…

“Lord Xing, has this mobile town been tested? Are all the people in charge safe?” Shi Qingyang had already looked at the mobile fortress, then asked. In his previous life, he never cared about the safety of the tools he took out of the city. At first, he was too weak and grew up in the city without any vigilance. Later, he disdained to study these because he was too strong.

But in this life, he was always a little too careful.

Before going to Anhang City this time, he investigated the situation of the two mobile towns that crossed between Spark City and Anhang City in advance, but he didn’t expect Xing Ou to replace them.

Xing Ou was asked by Shi Qingyang, and his face was not very good: “This mobile fortress was rented from a travel agency outside the city of Anhang. It is absolutely safe. Our own people are also arranged on it.” After studying for a long time, he finally decided to listen to his staff’s suggestions and build a comfortable mobile fortress for Cheng Ran, which also gave more face to the Spark City team. Unexpectedly, he was questioned at the start.

“The probability of accidents in the mobile fortress is very small, and mutant beasts dare not attack us. Don’t worry too much,” a teacher from Spark Academy followed up. The three teachers dispatched by Spark Academy this time were Chang Jiashi, a level 4 radiation warrior who was responsible for the practical combat courses of grade 4. Another was Ning An, the  pharmacy teacher who was an intermediate pharmacist and a level 3 radiant warrior. The last was Ping Haiyan, the teacher of class 10 where Shi Qingyang belonged.

Unlike the other two teachers, who were outstanding in the college, Ping Haiyan was a very ordinary level-3 radiant warrior. He had no actual combat experience, but he still came along. On the one hand, he was the teacher of Shi Qingyang and Cheng Ran, and on the other hand, he was very good at taking care of people. In fact, it was not a big deal for the Class 10 teacher to disappear for a month.

“Can you do a check on this mobile fortress first?” Shi Qingyang asked again.

“This mobile fortress is fine, it still needs to be tested?” Some students muttered.

“Young Master Cheng, this mobile fortress has been carefully checked. You can rest assured!” Xing Ou assured Cheng Ran.

Cheng Ran just looked at Shi Qingyang.

Shi Qingyang was reassured when he heard what Xing Ou said. He knew that the road from Spark City to Anhang City was very safe, and there were no mutant beasts on the road. But he was still used to making full preparations, especially when Ping Haiyan would also go: “Anyway, safety is the most important. Can this mobile fortress carry armored vehicles? Drive all our tanks up.”

“A space for tanks is prepared on top…” Xing Ou was a little unhappy because of Shi Qingyang’s suspicion, but he didn’t object in the end, and let Shi Qingyang drive the tank up.

Shi Qingyang also knew that Xing Ou would never fight back at him. This time, Xing Ou wanted to curry favor with them. Naturally, he would accept whatever he wanted.

“This mobile fortress is so handsome!” A girl said right after entering the mobile fortress.

“This is the first time I left Spark City. I didn’t expect to sit in such a mobile fortress!” Another boy also spoke.

“Thank you, Young Master Cheng. We all depend on him for this opportunity,” Suddenly someone said in a strange way.

“We should really thank Cheng Ran. If it weren’t for Cheng Ran, we wouldn’t have this chance!” A boy immediately chimed in, and he smiled at Cheng Ran with kindness.

Cheng Ran also knew that not everyone liked him, so he just smiled at the boy who showed his kindness: “You’re welcome.”

“All right, hurry up and let’s allocate rooms.” Ning An glanced at her students.

There were many rooms in this mobile town, and some people occupied relatively poor rooms in the periphery. In addition to the original managers and drivers in the mobile town, there was also a patrol team of ten people, of which the team leader was a level-3 rad-warrior, and the others were also level-2.

Seeing such a security configuration and associating with Gu Changjin’s level-5 strength, the person who was still making sour remarks immediately closed his mouth, making Shi Qingyang relax.

There were many rooms in this mobile fortress. Each room was about 15 square meters, with one bedroom and one bathroom. The teachers and contestants quickly selected their own rooms. Shi Qingyang, Cheng Ran and Gu Changjin lived in the middle suite.

Of course, although they chose a room, they only stored their luggage for the time being. Spark City was not far from Anhang City. The journey started early in the morning and they would arrive at night. There was no need to sleep along the way.

After Shi Qingyang and Cheng Ran put down their luggage, Shi Qingyang immediately took out a radiation protection suit and gave it to Cheng Ran: “Ranran, put this on.”

“Is it possible not to wear it?” Cheng Ran took the clothes and hesitated. After all, the anti radiation suit was very uncomfortable.

“The radiation in the mobile town is much stronger than that in the city. It’s better to wear it and it’s also safe,” Shi Qingyang insisted.

Nodding, Cheng Ran began to undress obediently.

Shi Qingyang suddenly felt it a bit of a pity that the weather was cold now. Cheng Ran wore a lot and he couldn’t see anything when he was changing clothes…

Cheng Ran’s suit was equipped with a temperature control system, and the radiation helmet on his head was also very fitting and not bulky. After wearing it all, he looked at Shi Qingyang: “Let’s go outside to have a look? I don’t know what it is like outside the city.”

“I’ll take you out to play in the future.” Shi Qingyang smiled. Many rad-warriors took a mobile fortress for resting when they went out to hunt beasts or go on missions. There were often some people in charge of taking care of the vehicle. Shi Qingyang could take Cheng Ran if he wanted.

Cheng Ran immediately smiled and nodded.

The protective cover of the mobile fortress was as transparent as that of the city. Standing on the periphery, you could see the outside. However, because the mobile fortress was moving very fast, you couldn’t leisurely view everything around. You could only see the trees retreating rapidly.

As soon as Cheng Ran sat down, a manager from the mobile fortress came over and asked them if they needed breakfast.

The gathering was very early in the morning, and Cheng Ran didn’t eat much, so he nodded immediately. Other people were the same. They all asked for some food, especially Shi Qingyang.

When they came up from the east to the west, the mobile fortress, which had been driving along the passage for more than an hour, had left the safety zone. Normally, the safety zone was relatively flat, and the roads outside were bumpy. However, the anti bumping ability of this private mobile town was very strong, so they didn’t feel uncomfortable. Only two girls were dizzy, and finally could not bear it. They went into the bedroom to have a rest.

“People who take the mobile town for the first time will feel a little uncomfortable. I boiled a pot of soup, do you want to drink some?” Ping Haiyan brought out another pot of soup.

After all, Ping Haiyan was a teacher. Most people were gave face and asked for soup one after another. Only Shi Qingyang refused: “No, we have already drunk some medicine.”

“Oh, that’s good.” Ping Haiyan did not insist.

Seeing that Ping Haiyan had left, Gu Changjin suddenly looked at Shi Qingyang: “You are really careful. You don’t seem like a young man who is going to another city or the first time.” The city was very safe. For ordinary people, the most dangerous thing outside the city was just meeting a beast. How could ordinary people be as careful as Shi Qingyang?

Even if he had seen many dangerous things, he didn’t think anyone dared to make a move in a mobile town outside the city, let alone one with many radiation warriors on it.

“Grandpa Gu, it’s better to be careful.” Cheng Ran always thought that Shi Qingyang was good everywhere, and naturally supported Shi Qingyang.

“You!” Gu Changjin glanced at Cheng Ran and went to look at Shi Qingyang: “I was once worried and afraid of this and that, and in the end, I was too cautious and couldn’t reach the peak… Rad-warriors who want to grow, must go out of the city for training. People who stay in the city all day can’t be strong at all. I once met a level 6 powerhouse who was filled with medicine. He also provoked me, but he couldn’t last for a minute under my power.”

“I know.” Shi Qingyang nodded.

“Shi Qingyang, it’s not so dangerous outside the city…” Gu Changjin was going to say something when the moving fortress that was moving smoothly suddenly stopped.

Shi Qingyang stood up fiercely, he had been carrying a burden on his back, and at this time, without thinking about it, he quickly took out his combat suit and dressed it.

Gu Changjin was not slow. Although he had been taking care of Cheng Ran for more than ten years, he hadn’t lost his touch from the past. Influenced by Shi Qingyang, his battle suit had always been taken with him.

Just after Shi Qingyang put on his battle suit and asked Cheng Ran to put on a bulletproof suit, the protective cover on the mobile fortress suddenly broke, and the whole mobile fortress was completely exposed to the radiation outside the city.

All this came so suddenly that all the people on the mobile fortress panicked. Although these students were the leaders of Spark Academy, most of them had not experienced combat. Fortunately, they were all radiation warriors, so exposure to radiation was not a big problem.

But even so, some people still screamed, “What’s the matter? How can something happen to the mobile fortress?”

“If we anchor here, will strange animals eat us?”

“What the hell is going on in this mobile town? Are we going to die?”

“Calm down, don’t mess around!” Chang Jiashi shouted, but the students and the people sent by Xing Ou were not very obedient.

“All students put on their combat clothes and wait for rescue. All combatants gather their equipment and check whether the vehicles can be used. We are not far from the city of Anhang. Even if the mobile town is damaged, we can rely on the combat vehicles!” Shi Qingyang used the public address equipment on his combat suit. He calmed the panic around him, but he was alert.

He never thought that anyone would dare to tamper with this mobile fortress! Most of Xing Ou’s subordinates had already been bribed.

“I was careless.” Gu Changjin was very upset. Seeing the current situation, he knew he could not be kind. He had still been teaching Shi Qingyang just then, who would have thought that such a thing would happen in a twinkling of an eye?

He knew that some people in Spark City hated them, but even then, he never thought that anyone would dare to do such a thing.

“Who would have thought… Grandpa Gu, maybe it’s just a malfunction.” Shi Qingyang took Cheng Ran to the place where the tank was located.

“Hopefully…” Although Gu Changjin said so, he didn’t believe it.

The quality of the mobile fortress was very good. One of the tracks below was broken and could be used for backup. Everything else needed to be tested through countless processes. The possibility of damage was very small. Now the mobile town suddenly stopped, and the protective cover was broken. There must be another reason.

In fact, not long after the mobile fortress broke down, several tanks suddenly stopped nearby. These tanks were of different styles and had some disguises. After approaching, some people threw several grenades at the mobile fortress.

Obviously, the grenade throwers were not weak in radiation energy. After using radiation energy to control them, all the grenades were thrown into the open hole in the protective cover, causing a lot of screams. Fortunately, the defense of the mobile fortress was good. After vacating the hole, no one was injured.

Shi Qingyang finally confirmed that this time someone was so bold that they wanted to hunt them down: “How about the weapon system of the mobile fortress?”

“The weapon system has broken down, and the whole mobile town is paralyzed…” Someone said. At this time, the initial disturbance passed, and the combatants in the mobile town finally gathered together. But Shi Qingyang couldn’t trust these people now.

“The little fellow inside, if you are sensible, hand Cheng Ran over quickly, or we will not be merciful!” Someone shouted outside.

Seeing the current situation, Shi Qingyang was the first to doubt the Yin Family, but the Yin Family only had two level-5 rad-warriors, one was old, the other rarely left the city, and his fighting capacity was not strong. How would they dare do such a thing?

“We don’t want to hurt people. We just want to exchange Cheng Ran for the prescription of the Cheng family’s Almighty Elixir. As long as Cheng Ran is handed over, everyone else will be fine,” the man spoke again.

Kidnap Cheng Ran for the prescription of Almighty Elixir? The eyes of the students hiding with them all fell on Cheng Ran. Instead, Cheng Ran did not panic at this time, but stood straight behind Shi Qingyang.

“You robbers!” Chang Jiashi, the teacher of the actual combat class, was obviously very dissatisfied. He drew a circle with his hands and moved his fingers. An arrow composed of radiation energy stabbed the car that had thrown the grenade.

Level-4 rad-warriors could walk sideways in Spark City, but when his attack was about to hit the opposite person, it was suddenly blocked by a shield of energy.

The opponent had an expert!
