Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 327: A Glimmer of Light

Zhao Tiji spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, glanced back at the darkness behind him, his heart still filled with lingering fear. "When the insect swarm erupted, I was on night patrol with the brothers in the east. We originally wanted to head towards the central command tent, but then we saw flames shooting skyward over there, and the spiritual pressure was so chaotic that even communication talismans couldn't be sent out. I was just thinking we were done for this time when I saw this blue pillar lighting up here."

At this point, he looked at Su Ming, his voice lowering a bit. "I remembered what you told me before, 'Beacon fire as signal, gather at the desperate pass.' I thought to myself, since the central command is a dead end, I might as well come find you, this 'Half-City Su.' Even if we die, the brothers of Bing-7 Battalion can die together!"

Su Ming nodded, not saying much more.

Trust, this kind of thing, is worthless when just talked about casually. Only at this life-and-death juncture does it feel heavy and substantial.

"Brother Zhao, don't rush to reminisce just yet."

Su Ming's gaze went past Zhao Tiji, looking towards the southwest. "More people are coming."

A moment later.

Several staggering figures emerged from the shadows to the southwest.

The one at the front wore a moon-white formation master's robe, now stained gray-brown with dust and blood. His left arm showed an unnatural twist, hanging limply at his side, clearly broken.

Lu Jun.This once arrogant genius apprentice from Yi-3 Battalion now looked as wretched as a beggar. Behind him remained only two formation servants who were usually inseparable from him, plus five or six wounded soldiers supporting each other.

"Instructor... Instructor Su..."

The moment Lu Jun saw Su Ming, his legs gave way, and he almost knelt on the ground.

In his hand, he clutched tightly the jade token Su Ming had issued for the "graduation assessment." A faint, flickering light on the token resonated distantly with the main formation plate.

"Bing-9... it's completely gone..."

Lu Jun's voice trembled, carrying the collapse of someone who had witnessed hell. "They came burrowing up from underground... too many... the formation was instantly overwhelmed... Master, to cover our retreat..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly coughed violently, coughing up pink, frothy blood.

That he could find this place wasn't entirely due to luck.

In this chaotic spiritual energy storm, only the special frequency Su Ming had left in that jade token acted like an invisible thread, pointing the only direction in the darkness.
