Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 3 Newcomer Resource Allocation Office?
The smart glasses provided directions.

Lin Xiufeng immediately shut down the miniature robot to save power.

The seawater here is red, and the sky is red too.

The clouds floating in the sky are yellow.

"How eerie..."

"Because I had only ever seen the environment of the blue planet before, everything seemed new and exciting to me."

Lin Xiufeng admired and sighed as he took the telescopic frame out of his bag.

Unfold it, insert it into your backpack, and hang up the wet clothes you took off.

Lin Xiufei took off her life jacket and casually tossed it onto the beach.

On the beach, many life jackets were already half-buried in the sand.

Lin Xiufeng walked to the end of the beach and stepped onto the earthen slope.

The trees were all dark green, and the leaves were all pale red.

The roadside weeds looked similar to those on Tianlan Star, except they were also pale red.

Lin Xiufei looked around and thought that only the dirt road that had been trampled bare resembled the blue sky.

Lin Xiufeng gazed at the undulating slopes ahead, a sense of unease creeping into his heart:

'Is it possible that someone will specifically target and rob newcomers?'

Lin Xiufeng climbed over a sloping hill, peered over the edge, and only then dared to continue forward.

After walking for a while, we found a suitable place in the woods.

They took the telescopic tools, combined them into a shovel, buried Wang Qiang's supplies in two places, buried half of the food and water in their own bag, and finally cleaned up the surface traces.

Lin Xiufeng climbed to the top of the slope, ate and rested for a while, and looked back at the beach he had come from, where he saw several people swimming in the Red Sea.

'Is it morning on Azure Star already? Let's just wait for these people to go ahead and scout the way.'

Lin Xiufeng didn't want to show his face and join those people, fearing he would be robbed instead.

But Lin Xiufeng soon realized that he had been bitten by a snake once.

Normally, someone who has just entered the Heavenly Martial Realm wouldn't be as ruthless as Wang Qiang.

These men took turns dragging Wang Qiang to the beach.

Lin Xiufeng immediately cried out in self-reproach:
"Oops! I missed a detail!"

Lin Xiufeng hurried towards the beach, hoping she could still make it in time.

But after he had just climbed over a small hill, he saw in the distance that Wang Qiang seemed to have been rescued and woken up.

'It's too late, forget it.'

Lin Xiufeng waited for a while, and then the five people and Wang Qiang walked over together.

"Wang Qiang, do you want to rest for a while?"

"No need. I need your help to catch up with Lin Xiufeng, who stole my things, and get them back!"

Just as Lin Xiufeng had predicted, Wang Qiang preemptively accused Lin Xiufeng of wrongdoing.

"That guy is so awful! If we catch up with him, we'll definitely make him apologize and return your things!"

"They need to be taught a lesson!"

"That's not a good idea. If he admits his mistake and apologizes, it's not right to hit him. You can't hurt people with violence."

"Why be polite to bad people! Don't be too soft-hearted!"

Lin Xiufeng suspected that Wang Qiang had a preconceived notion, and given the comparison of their physiques, it would be easy for others to mistakenly believe Wang Qiang.

"Writing words on Wang Qiang's face at that time meant his crimes were off the table, and no one would save him!"

Lin Xiufeng realized that he was still too naive and did things without considering the consequences.

But he also disliked pointless internal strife, and quickly put aside his self-blame to think about how to make amends.

The group that rescued Wang Qiang walked around and played, and they also liked to take photos and videos with the smart robot.

Lin Xiufeng followed behind, stopping and starting, as groups of people gradually caught up.

After these people met up with Wang Qiang and his group, the two teams merged into one, and Wang Qiang inevitably recounted his miserable experience of being robbed once again.

Before long, more people caught up.

So the three teams became one team.

Four becomes one, five becomes one... thirteen becomes one...

A large group, fifty or sixty people in total. After walking for quite a while, Lin Xiufeng suddenly heard someone ahead shouting excitedly:

"It's a road sign!"

A group of people followed the rugged mountain road indicated by the road sign and wound their way up.

Lin Xiufeng looked at the wooden sign that read: Linhai Home Island Station.

'Your handwriting is actually quite nice; it even surpasses mine.'

Lin Xiufeng gave it full affirmation.

As for the fact that he never got full marks on his handwriting, that's not important.

Lin Xiufeng walked along the road for a while when he suddenly heard a whistle.

He turned his head and saw several figures flashing by the road sign...

On the winding mountain road, the people at the front of the group saw three people walking down from ahead.

One of them was strong, about two meters tall, and carried a wooden sign on a stick three or four meters long, on which was written:

Newcomer Supplies Allocation Center at Linhai Home Island Station.

A red-haired woman raised her hands high, taking a selfie while shouting:

"Just over the mountain is Linhai Home. Those who want to go, please leave your backpacks here. Our supply warehouse is not at the base... In the future, supplies will be distributed uniformly, and personal belongings can be retrieved by each individual once they arrive in the village."

The woman showed no emotion in her eyes, nor any enthusiasm for the newlyweds, and casually pointed to an open space at the bend in the road.

"How can there be such a rule? It wasn't mentioned in the information online!"

The red-haired woman scolded her impatiently:

"You believe information online? The Heavenly Martial Realm has only existed for a few years! Only a few individuals from the regular Heavenly Martial Regiment have ever gone out. They can only share import and export information, what else can they share?"

The man beside the woman, who appeared to be the leader, spoke up:

"Those who are unwilling to join the group, please make way and let others pass before turning back down the mountain."

They say it's a detour, but everyone's coming to Linhai Home, so where else can we go?

Those who had come in groups discussed among themselves. Wang Qiang, having no supplies, shouted out, "..."
"My things were stolen, what should I do if I have no supplies?"

"Linhai Home is for mutual support and progress. You can join even without supplies, but you will need to take on more responsibility every day."

The red-haired woman paused, then raised her hands and clapped them as she continued speaking:

"Join Linhai Home, and we'll take care of all your needs from now on. As long as you stay, Linhai Home will never abandon you. From now on, you'll have a strong support system if you're bullied, and you'll have someone to rely on when you act together!"

The first few people on the mountain road put down their bags at the intersection one after another, and the tall man wrote numbers on the bags one by one.

"Remember your numbers so you won't make a mistake when you go back to retrieve your personal belongings."

Once someone took the lead, almost everyone else followed suit and went up.

Only a few people were still hesitating and discussing it with their partners.

Lin Xiufeng, who was at the very back of the mountain path, heard the shouts from above, turned around and saw several people hiding under the trees near the road sign, but they quickly disappeared.

'They claim it's a matter of choice, but what's the point of having a few people camped out in the escape route?'

Lin Xiufeng had some doubts, but had no way out.

As the crowd moved forward, did they leave the supplies behind?
Lin Xiufeng was unwilling to give up...

Watching the queue ahead move forward, move forward...

Suddenly, Lin Xiufeng had a flash of inspiration and shouted in a terrified voice:

"Run! Monster! Run, everyone in front! Monster!"

Those ahead on the mountain path were unaware of what was happening and couldn't see anything even if they turned their heads.

Originally, the unknown about the Heavenly Martial Realm turned into unease, and he had no time to distinguish between truth and falsehood!
The timid ones screamed and rushed upwards, creating a cacophony of screams and even cries.

Among the people ahead of Lin Xiufeng, the timid ones rushed forward, fearing that the monster would catch up and eat them.

Those who were bolder and calmer turned their heads to look, only to see Lin Xiufeng running up with a look of terror on her face, squeezing through the onlookers and moving forward.

Even some who were calm couldn't help but panic, and ran after them before they could even figure out what was going on.

Those who were bolder also kept looking back down as they went up.

The people under the tree next to the road sign carefully looked around, but found nothing unusual.

But they still dared not jump into the tree carelessly, remaining vigilant and on guard.
