Long River Eternity

Time goes back to ten minutes ago, when Lin Ding and the others had just driven to the city.

At this time, the group of double-headed eagles, without Silver Wing's leadership, had already been defeated and retreated by the school teachers and the strong men of the Zhan family.

The two were shocked to see the devastated city. It seemed that the city had been invaded after all.

Lin Ding hurriedly drove towards the school. The road was littered with broken walls and ruins, and the ground was strewn with corpses and injured people. The scene was extremely tragic.

The two arrived at the school gate. At this time, only two of the three buildings were left. The one that served as the teacher's office had become a ruin. The plaque of Nanshan School was hanging on the roof at an angle, and it was crumbling.

"I'll go to the school shelter to see if your grandma is there. You go home and check." Lin Ding got out of the car and said to Wei Wu.

Because they had to deal with the constant harassment of wild beasts and even monsters, many underground shelters were built in the city. In the event of a war, people would send their elderly and children to the nearest shelter. Wei Wu's family was near the school.

Wei Wu nodded in agreement and hurried home.

Lin Ding walked to the back of the teaching building and found the entrance to the shelter. He lifted a thick stone slab the same color as the ground, and a staircase leading underground appeared before him.

Lin Ding walked down the stairs for about ten meters, and then through a passage more than ten meters long. A huge room that could accommodate thousands of people appeared before him.

The room was dimly lit. The students from the school, along with the elderly, women, and children from nearby, were all inside. Some sat on prepared chairs, while others sat on the floor. Although everyone was disheveled, most were unharmed, though their expressions revealed fear and worry.

Seeing that everyone was fine, Lin Ding secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He said loudly, "The beasts have been driven away. Everyone, just wait a little longer. Someone should be here to take us away soon!"

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved and finally a faint smile appeared on their faces.

"Is Grandma Wei Wu here? Wei Wu is very worried about you." Lin Ding shouted while looking in the crowd.

"Xiao Ding, I'm here. Where's Xiao Wu?" At this time, an old man with a kind face stood up and walked over in the crowd. A girl with a ponytail and a cute and pure look was supporting her.

"Xiao Wu went home to look for you. He will come right over if he can't find you." Lin Ding was slightly stunned when he saw the girl beside him, then he stepped forward to support the old man and answered.

"That's good, that's good." said the old man.

Lin Ding helped the old lady back to her original seat and settled her down. He turned to the girl and asked shyly, "Are you all okay?"

"Everyone's fine. The teacher took us here as soon as we were attacked." The girl smiled brightly and asked, "Are you okay too? Are you and Wei Wu the only ones back?"

"Well, the others are still in the rest area of ​​the ruins. I heard that the city might be attacked, so we rushed back. We didn't expect that we were still too late." Lin Ding stammered with a red face.

"Why are you nervous? It's not your fault. By the way, it seems like you stutter every time you talk to me." The girl said, staring at Lin Ding with a smile.

"Where...where is that?" Lin Ding was a little at a loss when being stared at by the girl, and his face turned red.

"Grandma!" Wei Wu had already rushed over from home at this time, and immediately found Lin Ding and his grandmother sitting next to Lin Ding.

Wei Wu rushed over, squatted beside his grandmother, and said happily, "I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried."

"Be good, grandma hasn't seen you get married and start a family yet, so nothing will happen to you." The old lady touched Wei Wu's head and said kindly.

At this moment, Wei Wu turned his head to look at Lin Ding, and was about to say something, but the tone of the words suddenly changed: "Hey, Lin Ding, why is your face so red? Liu Xianxian, are you teasing our Lin Ding again?"

"What are you talking about!" Lin Ding's face turned even redder.

Liu Xianxian smiled and looked at Lin Ding without saying anything.

Suddenly, the entire shelter shook violently, followed by an explosion that could be heard clearly even in the shelter ten meters underground.

Wei Wu and Lin Ding glanced at each other. Lin Ding spoke first, "Director Tang... let's go up and take a look."

Wei Wu nodded, and then the two of them turned around and prepared to return to the ground.

"I'm going too!" Liu Xianxian followed and prepared to go together.

"The battle up there may not be over yet and it's still very dangerous. Why are you going there?" Lin Ding said.

"No matter what, I'm going." Liu Xianxian said mischievously.

Lin Ding was just thinking about how to persuade Liu Xianxian to leave when Yang An's voice came: "Take her with you."

"Why?" Lin Ding was puzzled.

"It's hard to explain, but just take her with you." Yang An replied calmly.

Lin Ding thought for a moment and said to Liu Xianxian, "You can go up and take a look, but if there is any danger, you must come back immediately."

"Okay!" Liu Xianxian said happily.

"That's enough, both of you. Let's go." Wei Wu urged.

Soon the three of them came to the ground and looked up at the sky. There was no sign of the double-headed eagle invading again.

The three of them looked around, and Wei Wu suddenly said, "Look over there! What's that?"

Lin Ding and Liu Xianxian looked in the direction Wei Wu was looking, and in the distant north, a mushroom cloud was blooming and rising into the sky.

"This... this seems to be the direction we're going?" Lin Ding was shocked by the scene before him. It was so far away, yet so huge. What would it look like if it were up close?

"Someone blew himself up near the spiritual vein. There shouldn't be any living creatures that can survive there now. This is a good time for you to find the spiritual vein. Hurry up and set off." Yang An said.

"Let's go, it's confirmed. That's where we're going. Let's get going quickly." Lin Ding said to Wei Wu, and then walked towards the car.

"Then I'll tell grandma and wait a moment." After saying that, Wei Wu quickly ran towards the basement.

Lin Dingze pondered the route as he walked to the car, ready to wait for Wei Wu to get in. Just as he closed the door, he heard the sound of a door closing from the back seat. Confused, Lin Ding turned around and looked.

I saw Liu Xianxian sitting in the back seat, looking at the situation in the car curiously.

"You...how come you're here too?" Lin Ding asked in surprise

"I'll go with you. If you say there is danger, I will go back. There is no danger now." Liu Xianxian raised her big eyes and looked at Lin Ding with a smile.

"This...we don't know what we will encounter over there. It's too dangerous." Lin Ding retorted.

"You are not afraid of a Xin level, but I am already a B level, what should I be afraid of? If it weren't for my late birthday and missing the coming-of-age ceremony, maybe I could have gotten first place!" Liu Xianxian pouted and said unconvinced.

"You're overthinking it. Wei Wu and Wang Qingshan are both already Class A." Lin Ding rarely retorted.

"What? Wei Wu is already Class A. Then I should go with you to gain some experience." Liu Xianxian's words left Lin Ding speechless.

"Take her with you. I will find an opportunity to teach her a technique." Yang An's voice sounded again.

"Why on earth do you know her? That's impossible!" Lin Ding was a little anxious. He really didn't want to put Liu Xianxian in danger.

"I'll explain it to you later." Yang An said.

"I..." Lin Ding was so anxious that he wanted to curse.

"Don't worry, I promise you that nothing will happen to her." Yang An promised.

Seeing that he was so determined, Lin Ding had no choice but to take Liu Xianxian with him.

"Don't run around. Listen to me." Lin Ding instructed Liu Xianxian.

"Okay, I will always follow you closely." Liu Xianxian said happily.

But these words made Lin Ding's old face turn red again.

At this time, Wei Wu got in the car and happened to see Lin Ding's embarrassment again. He said jokingly, "After seeing Liu Xianxian, has your face ever not turned red?"

"Don't talk! Sit tight, let's go...let's go." Lin Ding started the car in a hurry and stepped on the accelerator to drive north.
