Doomsday Code

Chapter 826 Out of the Desert

"Hey, old man, are you okay? Don't collapse before you even reach your doorstep."

From time to time, one could hear the old men bickering with each other in the desert team, and often after such bickering, their relaxed minds would become tense again.

Chen Cheng, who was walking in the front, lifted up his sand-proof face towel, took a look at the map, and then turned to the old men behind him and said:

"We're almost out of the desert, hold on."

Chen Cheng put the map away and let Sheli lead the team in front. He wanted to go to the back to see if anyone was left behind, and also bring them some water.

This nearly half-month trek was really a very severe challenge for these old men. Although many unexpected accidents happened on the road, fortunately, Chen Cheng had prepared sufficient supplies, so there was no loss of personnel.

Now they are about to leave the desert, and Chen Cheng knows that this is the last life and death stage for these old men.

They used to be able to walk through it with perseverance, but often when they were close to the end, they suddenly relaxed their minds and immediately faced death.

The best way is to have them, in addition to having sufficient supplies, to distract each other from the boredom of the journey, such as quarreling and bickering, which is a good emotional seasoning.

After counting the number of people one by one, there was still no one missing.

Only then did Chen Cheng breathe a sigh of relief.

Doyle, who was walking at the back, also said to Chen Cheng with a smile:

"Sir, I see you really treasure these old guys."

Because of Chen Cheng’s reminder, everyone now calls him “Young Master”.

The old man walking behind him also grinned and said after hearing what Doyle said:

"Of course not. The young master really loves us. He goes back and forth to serve him several times during the day and gets up several times at night, just for fear that we will catch a cold."

Doyle glared at them and said:

"You are all over a hundred years old, yet you still have the nerve to say this after being taken care of by the young master. If you act like a jerk after we go back, I will definitely not forgive you."

"Alright, Doyle, everyone is my great-grandfather's age, so it's only right that I take care of them. We're about to leave the desert, so I need to ask Sheli to go back first and have King Pingbei prepare."

"Don't worry, I'll be watching from behind and won't let anyone fall behind."

Chen Cheng nodded, and when he returned, he still gave each of them a water magic crystal so that they could replenish the water themselves if they ran out.

It can be said that Chen Cheng spent no less than hundreds of thousands of gold coins just to bring these old men out of the desert.

Fortunately, he didn't have to spend any money for this, as he used the stock left in the Lich Space Ring.

After returning to the front of the team, Chen Cheng asked Sheli to prepare to go ahead and report back to King Pingbei, and at the same time to investigate the current situation outside the desert.

He did not forget that when he left, the Lord of North City fell into the hands of King Pingbei, and later they also formulated an infiltration plan.

Now that almost a year has passed, I don’t know what the outside world is like now.

Sheli nodded, then he took out the black magic crystal that Octopus had given him from his pocket, and handed it to Chen Cheng, saying:

"I'm not around, so I can use it to protect myself."

But Chen Cheng pushed the magic crystal back and said:

"Since he gave you this thing, you should keep it. It should be the crystallization of his divine power. If you crush it when necessary, it should be able to release a divine spell."

"And don't forget that I'm no longer a gold-level rookie. When I get out, maybe my strength will be no weaker than yours."

Chen Cheng clenched his fist, causing the air to explode with a loud noise.

Because along the way, Chen Cheng found that the closer he got to the edge of the desert, the stronger he became.

So what he said was indeed not bragging to Sheli, he really felt that he could defeat Sheli.

Of course, Chen Cheng also knew that the feeling was just a feeling, and his true strength still needed to be determined after he left the desert and checked his body inside and out.

Sheli took back the magic crystal, then nodded to Chen Cheng. The next moment, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight in a few flashes.

"Wow, this Sheli guy is really fast. With this speed, who can be his opponent in this vast desert?"

"You still have the nerve to say that it's your old age that's slowing us down."

"Hey, how can you talk like that? I'm old, but I'm still faster than you."

Immediately, several old men started arguing about who walked slower.

Chen Cheng did not stop them, but let them argue, so as to distract themselves from the excitement of leaving the desert.

Sheli was moving very fast, and since they were not far from the desert, it took more than an hour for Sheli to reach the edge of the desert.

The edge of the desert is still so desolate, and a lonely small town is located here.

The town that Sheli had originally thought should be deserted now became unusually lively.

Sheli carefully sneaked into the town, but before he had long to search, he saw a familiar figure.

Princess Hisa.

At this time, Xisha was wearing a prosecutor's uniform, which made her look heroic.

At the same time, the four brothers Ada, who were familiar to Sheli, also changed into patrol uniforms and followed Xisha to patrol the town.

At the same time, when Xisha walked through the town, she would smile and talk to the townspeople from time to time. The townspeople did not show any fear on their faces, but instead were smiling.

Sheli looked around again and found that in addition to some people he was not familiar with, there were also some remnants of the empire who had been in the secret place in the valley.

It was obvious that they had walked out of the valley and seemed to have taken control of the town. Princess Xisha directly became the highest official of the town.

After reaching the conclusion, Sheli no longer hid, but walked in from outside the town in a swagger.

And Xisha happened to bring Ada and the others to the town entrance, and then the two sides met.

"Shisha."

Sheli did not call her princess directly because he did not know whether Xisha had revealed her identity as a princess, so he just called her by her name.

When Xisha saw Sheli, she immediately opened her mouth in shock.

How could she forget Sheli and Chen Cheng? One of the important reasons why she stayed here as a prosecutor was to wait for Chen Cheng and others to come out of the desert.

Although Xisha was excited, she did not come up to ask directly, but nodded and said:

"Come with me."

Then she quickly returned to her residence with Sheli.
