Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Regardless of what the Second Border City's plans are, or what conspiracies the various factions within the Ember Church may be plotting.

Li Yelai had to make contact with the reinforcements from the third border city.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to use his strength effectively even within the second border city.

From the perspective of the officials in Border City No. 2, you're a Chaos God's Chosen one, and if you dare to expose yourself, you'll be fucked to death!

As for the Blood God faction, he couldn't very well order the Church's Fifth Legion to attack their 'friendly forces,' could he?

Moreover, within the second border city, Li Yelai dared not use his biggest trump card, the Lucky Wheel.

This kind of thing can only be used in the enemy's main camp; in a large city, it's just gathering dust.

So, after a short rest, Li Ye came to inquire about the followers in the manor.

Where his own army had arrived.

That was the Fifth Legion led by Emperor's Chosen. Although it had almost been wiped out before, it had recovered considerable combat strength under the command of the headquarters and was one of the main forces in this operation.

The messenger who responded to Li Ye's arrival was Cheng Mei, the chosen servant who had led the team to support Red Fury.

She was assigned by Fenxiao to take care of the daily needs of the chosen group.

"My lord, your legion has begun arriving at the branch headquarters." Cheng Mei, dressed in a women's suit, exuded elegance.

She is not only a servant of the Chosen of the Burning Roar God, but also manages a sizable company in the Second Border City.

Who would have thought that a good-looking and strong woman would be a high-ranking member of the Ember Church?
As she poured tea for Li Yelai, she explained, "The psionic soldiers will be sent into the giant city in batches."

As he spoke, he handed the teacup in his hand to Li Yelai.

Demon General Bai Ya snorted coldly, stepped forward, took the teacup from Cheng Mei, and handed it to Li Yelai.

Then, blocking Cheng Mei's way, he asked, "How could you send so many people in? Won't the city notice? Although the Fifth Legion is not at full strength, it still has more than three thousand veterans and more than two thousand Vampire Legion members."

Baiya was wary of Cheng Mei, and she strongly suspected that Cheng Mei was seducing the Chosen One.

I don't want her to get any closer.

The presence of one woman in red was already making Bai Ya very uncomfortable; there was no need for another! This would only hinder Lord Di Yun's pursuit of the path of slaughter!
Women will only slow down the speed at which adults draw their swords!

Cheng Mei didn't mind and smiled, "Please don't worry, White Cliff Demon General. We have our own channels. We use guards from a caravan, wild men from some immigrant groups, and even some secret pipelines not recorded by the authorities. These are all methods we use to infiltrate. We have been operating in this giant city for decades. During that time, our branch was wiped out twice, and one of our chosen ones died. But now, we are inextricably linked to this giant city."

Sitting on the sofa, Li Yelai felt a little gloomy. This showed how terrifying the infiltration power of this branch was.

Two annihilations, even one of the chosen ones died. How could they possibly rise again?
That's true. The purge in Border City No. 3 also uncovered a large number of Chaos Cult members. There were even traitors from within the Department of Investigation.

Even so, the Chaos Believers could not be eradicated.

They lurk beneath the grandeur of the city, ready to bare their fangs at any moment.

The corruption of chaos is all-pervasive.

Bai Ya continued, "The veterans can still enter the giant city through your methods, after all, they are psionicists. Whether it's smuggling or hiding, it can be done. But what about those vampires? Vampires are very difficult to maintain their rationality!"

Indeed, the uniqueness of vampires lies in their terrifying melee combat skills and their complete madness upon seeing blood.

On the battlefield, deploying vampires can unleash carnage. The border guards of the giant city were actually established to combat vampires.

However, in normal times, vampires, as a special unit, are prone to killing each other.

They have some rationality, but not much, if any.

Only the chosen ones and demon generals can command them. But once blood is drawn, they go berserk. It's not uncommon for them to kill their own teammates.

Therefore, most branch sects do not raise vampires.

Only the main headquarters has a sealed blood mine, which can temporarily seal away vampires. That's why a large number of vampires are stored there.

Veterans can manage to sneak across, but vampires probably can't. Besides, they could easily be exposed if they're not careful.

"Please don't worry," Cheng Mei said with a smile. "Since it's difficult to send the vampires into the giant city, they will remain outside. Once the operation begins, we will breach the high walls and let them start their bloody slaughter."

"I see," Li Yelai thought, feeling it was a pity. Otherwise, he could have used the Emotion Pocket Watch to incite the vampires to riot and kill each other, and then have them discovered by the Second Border City.

This can also be seen as a way of reminding the authorities, letting them be aware of the Chaos faction's conspiracy in advance.

Li Yelai nodded slightly and said, "Tell me their location. I need to ascertain the current situation of my men."

“Of course, but please keep your disguise intact and do not use force. The administrators of Border City No. 2 are not incompetent,” Cheng Mei reminded her.

"Hmph! Who do you think you are questioning?" Bai Ya said coldly, displeased.

Cheng Mei paused, realizing that her reminder had been unnecessary.

This is the Chosen One of Chaos, after all. It's really too outrageous for him to expose himself while strolling around town.

Even the Blood God would probably laugh in anger.

Cheng Mei then bowed and said, "All the vehicles in the garage are available for use, sir. Would you like me to accompany you?"

“No need, just have Baiya and Hongzhuang come with me,” Li Yelai replied. “Just tell me the address.”

"Yes, sir," Cheng Mei replied respectfully.

Bai Ya, on the other hand, looked delighted. As a demon general, she should have been closest to Emperor Yun.

But Emperor Yun dotes on his maid Hongzhuang too much; even when he's in seclusion, he doesn't need to take care of her himself.

Now, Lord Emperor Yun is finally going to rely on himself?

This made Bai Ya secretly happy.

Soon, in the manor's parking lot, an SUV roared out of the parking lot.

As the vehicle drove away, Cheng Mei said to the chosen servant beside her, "This Lord Emperor of Fallen doesn't seem to trust us."

“He was assassinated at headquarters and nearly died, so it’s normal for him to be cautious.” The servant asked, “We also need to be careful. Lord Fenxiao suspects that the spies haven’t been eliminated.”

“An undercover agent… I initially thought it was that maid, Hongzhuang. As her personal maid, she spends a lot of time with the Chosen Ones of the Fallen Emperor. She should know a lot of confidential information, but I learned from them that the maid is almost always by the Chosen Ones' side, and usually stays in her room, so she has no opportunity to pass on messages.” Cheng Mei frowned and pondered, “Who could it be?”

On the other side, the vehicle had been traveling for several hours.

We arrived at a factory area in the old western part of the second border city.

This was one of the assembly points for the Fifth Legion. Employees who had received advance notice immediately closed the gate the moment they saw the vehicles enter.

Then, they all knelt down in worship.

Among them, several officers from the Fifth Army Corps stood respectfully beside the vehicle, awaiting the inspection of the chosen ones.

Li Yelai stepped out of the SUV and asked an officer, "Has anything unexpected happened?"

“In the wilderness, five small teams encountered the city’s night watchmen or restricted area patrols and were unable to reach the city in time. The rest have arrived at the branch and are continuously entering the city,” the officer replied immediately.

"Is there a risk of our whereabouts being exposed?" Li Yelai asked. "Rest assured, even if we are defeated, there is no possibility of being captured," the officer replied. "The legion is different from ordinary followers; every soldier knows what they are supposed to do."

"Very good." Li Yelai nodded slightly and continued, "When do you expect to be able to assemble everyone?"

"Within a week, all personnel should be able to enter the giant city and stand by at three locations." The officer replied, "Awaiting your orders."

"I understand." Li Yelai then looked at Demon General Bai Ya: "Bai Ya, you stay here and lead the legion in my stead. Do not move without my signal! Remember, you are my subordinates!"

Several officers and Bai Ya's expressions changed slightly. Then, Bai Ya nodded solemnly, "Yes, sir!"

They immediately filled in a bunch of possibilities, concluding that Li Ye had come here specifically for control of the legion.

That makes sense, this is the territory of a branch headquarters. And since Divine Chosen Burning Howl has refused to reveal the specific plan, it's understandable that Lord Emperor Fallen would keep something in reserve.

Thinking of this, Bai Ya felt excited.

Lord Emperor Yun actually values ​​me so much?

In reality, Li Yelai did just that.

First, it was to get away from Baiya so I could see my teammates.

Secondly, it was to stabilize this army.

Bai Ya, as Li Yelai's demon general, only obeys Li Yelai's orders; Fen Xiao cannot command her.

As long as his orders are not given, this legion will not move, even if the so-called plan begins.

Moreover, if circumstances permit, Li Yelai might even be able to have this legion attack other factions' forces.
Afterwards, Li Yelai and Hongzhuang left the factory area.

After leaving the factory area, the two continued to disguise their identities.

They were worried that there might be some kind of listening device inside the vehicle.

So Li Yelai went around in circles, visiting restaurants and shopping malls one after another, and used the funds given to him by the church to make a large-scale purchase.

After buying a lot of things, we drove to the Central Park in the North City New District.

Along the way, Li Yelai saw bustling streets and dense crowds, busy yet mundane.

I even saw some maintenance workers walking between the high-rise buildings.

They were working hard to protect the safety of the giant city, unaware that a terrible conspiracy was about to unfold, and countless lives would be lost.

'I wonder if I can stop all of this,' Li Yelai thought to himself.

Unlike his previous actions at the headquarters, Li Ye now has to be careful with every step he takes.

At headquarters, everyone is an enemy; one can act ruthlessly without a second thought. No one cares if anyone dies. They've all become Chaos Believers; if they were all executed, few would be innocent.

But in Border City Two, the authorities would consider them enemies, and there are too many innocent civilians within the giant city.

This left Li Yelai feeling powerless and lonely.

'I wonder who the authorities will send to help me. My identity should be top secret,' Li Yelai thought to himself.

As the vehicle slowly drove into Central Park, it was nearly dusk.

The gentle glow of the setting sun cast a warm golden hue over the lawn, as if the earth itself were bathed in this soft light.

Along the park's greenway, pedestrians strolled in twos and threes or alone, enjoying the peaceful and beautiful moment.

Meanwhile, roadside vendors were hawking their wares, attracting the attention of countless children.

"Is this the place?" After getting out of the car, Li Ye looked around and was somewhat surprised, not understanding why the authorities had asked him to meet his teammates here.

Xiao Kuangwang responded: "It cannot be ruled out that our vehicle was being monitored. We went to a restaurant and a shopping mall one after another. Now that we are here, we are no longer conspicuous."

“I understand the logic, but the authorities didn’t tell me the code or the characteristics of the teammates I’d meet,” Li Yelai clicked his tongue. “I can’t just run over and grab someone to ask if they’re the contact, can I?”

“Since he didn’t tell you his characteristics, then he must be someone you know very well,” Little Mad King replied. “You’ll recognize him when you see him.”

“If it were Xinghuo, and she stole some offerings right in front of me, I would recognize her,” Li Yelai said with a smile.

"Spark?" Little Mad King recalled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it. It should be a processor whose ability is below the fourth level, right?"

The two then entered the park.

Both Li Yelai and Xiao Kuangwang made some disguises on their faces.

Aside from Little Mad King's long legs, the rest of his features weren't particularly eye-catching.

They were like a young couple taking a walk after dinner.

But I didn't encounter any contact person.

Instead, a middle-aged man with shifty eyes came over and asked Li Yelai if he wanted some uncensored porn.

Then, before Li Ye could speak, the shifty-eyed middle-aged man was chased away by the urban management officers.

Li Yelai thought to himself, "If this is the contact person, they probably wish I were dead here."

Suddenly, he stopped walking.

He saw a silly, adorable frog carrying a dozen frog balloons in its hand.

At that moment, it was bending down to give a frog balloon to a little girl whose clothes were somewhat worn.

The little girl who received the balloon smiled at it and skipped away.

The moment the frog doll stood up, it saw Li Yelai just a few steps away.

Li Yelai suddenly understood why the authorities were so confident that he could find the contact.
He had embraced the girl's body, seen her bright smile, and knew what she looked like in every mascot costume.

The frog doll also saw Li Yelai and tilted its head.

Even through the doll's headgear, Li Yelai could almost see her bright, surprised smile.

She released the balloon from her hand, and it drifted in the wind, causing the children to gasp and chase after it.

As the sun set, she walked towards Li Yelai.

She stood in front of Li Yelai and took out an advertising board from behind her.

The neat handwriting emerged.

[I've come to see you, Xiaoye (o▽)o]
"Long time no see," Li Yelai said as he approached her, whispering, "doll."

(I almost missed it, I'll have to try to make it up tomorrow. It's really lagging.)
