028 Awakening in Wulong

Hong Ling's words undoubtedly startled Shangguan Yun!

“Yes, Master, there are some hidden things in your mind that seem to have been sealed by someone. The system cannot crack them. We may only be able to glimpse them after the system is completely unsealed…” Hong Ling continued to explain.

Shangguan Yun frowned slightly. "Hmm? There's a seal in my mind, no way..."

"Alright, Master, don't think too much about it. Anyway, that seal seems to be protecting you and doesn't seem to have any malicious intent. You don't need to pay any attention to it..."

"Um... okay... I slept too soundly yesterday, and it seems I've learned a lot, hehe... tell me about it."

"Yes, Master, I have done a count. After the two battles yesterday, you have gained a lot. You now have 71 merit points, 75 merit values, and 3 bronze medals (you can exchange 5 for a silver medal).

Speed ​​20 meters per second, Bravery 90, Leadership 70, Intelligence 70, Internal Affairs 70, gained 6 followers, later joined three more: Zhang Zhenfei, 17 years old, Speed ​​5 meters per second, Bravery 55, Leadership 50, Intelligence 42, Internal Affairs 27, Special skill: Hunting.

Liu Yong, 16 years old, speed 7 meters per second, bravery 40, leadership 45, intelligence 60, internal affairs 35, special skill: swift and clever. Gao Wei, 16 years old, speed 5 meters per second, bravery 45, leadership 40, intelligence 42, internal affairs 46, special attribute: hunter.

"The loyalty levels of the other six individuals are as follows: Zhu Yanping 100, Li Dechao 90, Min Wenqian 80, and the other three 70."

They acquired a small amount of weapons and ammunition: 10 Type 38 rifles, one pistol, 22 hand grenades, 800 rounds of ammunition, and one light machine gun...

After Hongling finished her report, she smiled and waited for instructions.

"That means I currently have one Type 2 heavy machine gun, four Type 9 light machine guns, two grenade launchers, 50 Type 6 rifles, nine pistols, 120 hand grenades, rifle and machine gun ammunition, around 6000 silver dollars, six men, and one reinforcement card..."

Tsk tsk... what a tall, rich, and handsome guy, hehe...

“That’s right, and it’s almost time to level up. Once you reach 100 merit points, you can level up. After leveling up, there will be lots of good things, hehe…” Hong Ling smiled brightly, her face full of excitement.

"Okay, I'll go out for a walk and see what the potential of this outpost is... You go back and rest..."

However, it seems the system sprite doesn't need a rest.

Seeing that it was already bright outside, presumably the next morning, Shangguan Yun rubbed his eyes, stretched, changed into a clean pair of shorts, put on his clothes, and stepped out of the room, stretching his arms, waist, and legs while looking around.

Having missed breakfast, Shangguan Yun ate some local specialty sweet potatoes, leftovers from last night.

It was late autumn, and the crops in the fields had mostly been harvested. The villagers were busy tidying up the fields and storing the grain in the granary. Shangguan Yun wanted to go and help.

The villagers quickly waved their hands in thanks, refusing his help and only asking him to wander around and learn about the situation in the village.

After wandering around for a while and asking around, Shangguan Yun had already made up his mind.

This place is located deep in the mountains, and the boundary bridge is 20 miles away. In fact, it used to be the southern gateway to this place.

This place was once a military camp, heavily guarded in ancient times. It leads south to Zhuanghe County and north to Wulongkou, then to Haicheng. To the west is Longnan Mountain, a high mountain with an altitude of over 1,000 meters.

To the east is an old mountain valley road, 20 li long, which was the old road connecting Haicheng and Binhai. Now, due to the construction of highways and railways, it has gradually fallen into disuse, but the surrounding people still frequently travel here.

The mountain stronghold is located on a slope on the east side of Longnan Mountain, about 100 meters above the bottom of Kusongjian. The north and south sides are narrow, gentle slopes, with a total length of about 10 li.

Dazhai is located in the middle of the hillside, stretching 5 li from north to south and 4 li from east to west. Most of the other slopes have been developed into farmland. Dazhai's central position makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it extremely strategic.

This place has been occupied by the villagers of Songjiazhai for a century, and has grown into a considerable size. The village has three or four hundred people, young and old, with more than a hundred able-bodied men, and dozens of guns, which they use to deter troublemakers.

There are two roads at the south gate. One leads to the boundary bridge, and the other goes southeast, passing through Nandian Village and connecting to the mountain stream entrance, which leads into the valley.

Ten miles to the north is Taipingzhuang, and another 20 miles to Wulongkou. Ten miles west of Wulongkou is Haicheng Bridge, and beyond the bridge is the territory of Haicheng.

In addition to Longnan Mountain, there are several other forces nearby, namely Camel Peak, Sidaogou, Zhangjiawan Laoye Ridge, and Daheishan, each with some degree of control.

Overall, the terrain resembles the claw of a five-clawed golden dragon. The Dragon King Temple is located in the center, and the largest town is Wulongkou, which has now been occupied by the Japanese. It serves as a first line of defense for Haicheng and is also a gathering point for the Japanese forces.

After a period of investigation, Shangguan Yun made a preliminary assessment: this mountain stronghold, if managed and properly arranged, could absolutely be an impregnable fortress. With high mountains and dense forests on one side, and a valley on the other, gentle slopes on both sides forming a defensive line, and fertile fields inside for self-sufficiency… Shangguan Yun nodded to himself in approval…

Meanwhile, things outside gradually became lively. Brother Ban and his friends, Teacher Yang, Sister Zhu... all got up and started moving around. It was almost noon, and most of them had been woken up by hunger, having slept for over twenty hours...

Song Xiaoyun walked over slowly with two people, chuckling, "Judging from your appearance, you must have recovered by now. It's time to eat..."

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, and his speech suddenly quickened: "Get dressed and head to the main hall. Lunch is pork stew with vermicelli. First come, first served, no one else gets any..." He finished with a snicker.

What?! The scene immediately changed dramatically. After a chaotic commotion, only Song Xiaoyun and her group remained.

A crow cawed overhead as it flew by, rolling its eyes. "Girl, do your family know how naughty you are...?"

For some reason, this sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl always gave him a sense of déjà vu, and he felt a strong urge to get close to her.

A mischievous smile, arched eyebrows, a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, long eyelashes, a neat and tidy outfit, waist-length hair flowing in the wind, graceful and elegant, light-footed—undoubtedly very attractive to a novice like Shangguan Yun...

Song Xiaoyun stuck out her tongue, made a face, and quickly ran away.

Shangguan Yun shook his head slightly, sighed, and strode straight towards the restaurant.
