Chapter 128 The Outside World

On Earth, Jiannan Town had been completely sealed off.

Outside Jiannan Town, there were people from all walks of life.

There were onlookers, news reporters, self-organized volunteer teams, some students' parents, and even the families of experienced cultivators.

In the past few weeks, the students of Jiangbin No. 1 High School had gradually walked out of Jiannan Village. The onlookers were also treated to a feast for the eyes, truly a spectacle of all living beings.

Because the students chose the safest northwestern route, and with the escort of the guardian team, most of them came out safe and sound.

However, there were many more social cultivators training in various areas of the snowfields.

Whenever a person walked out of the snowfields, underwent strict examination, and was allowed to leave Jiannan Village, it would attract a large crowd of onlookers.

There was crying, laughing, arguing, and闹ing (making noise).

One team of four, the families of the four gathered together, two showed up, and the other two never returned.

Extreme emotions were displayed on the faces of the people in close proximity.

It was incredibly moving.

People always said that Huaxia (China) was a society of relationships, a society of favors.

Few people deny this, but this time, the military seemed to have issued a dead order.

Even Xia Shanhai, a former pioneer member, couldn't enter Jiannan Village and could only wait obediently outside.

Xia Shanhai also saw some familiar figures.

He saw the parents of his daughter's classmates, and he also saw the parents joyfully and tearfully accompanying their frightened children away.

The parents dwindled one by one, and in the end, Xia Shanhai saw that among the Jiangbin No. 1 High School team, only one family remained, still waiting for their child to return.

That was... the Li family.

In the past month, Li's father still hadn't appeared, presumably still on a mission.

But Li's mother, a public official from the Jiangbin City Procuratorate, had been waiting here for a long time.

This strong mother, with a haggard face and listless spirit, had never cried, and had been waiting for a miracle to happen with the company of her relatives.

A girl was constantly shedding tears, her eyes swollen from crying. As time passed, day by day, the girl was increasingly on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Xia Shanhai knew her. As Xia Yan's father, he had little communication with Xia Yan, but he was extremely concerned about his daughter.

He had conducted a thorough investigation into the family backgrounds of the members of his daughter's team.

This girl who was almost crying her eyes out was named Li Qingmei.

She was the childhood sweetheart of Li's son. The girl's parents had come here to accompany her for a few days, but finally, to take care of their daughter's health, her father forcibly took her back home.

But a few days later, the girl ran back and stood there foolishly.

Li Qingmei's parents now took turns guarding their daughter, no longer forcing her to go home, and had also asked the school for leave. Seeing their daughter withering away day by day, the parents felt pain in their hearts.

If Li Weiyi could really walk out, perhaps, this family would do everything in their power to interfere with Li Weiyi's future path.

As an Awakened, and one who voluntarily entered the snowfields for training, one must have the awareness of injury or even death.

This was a society full of Awakeners, and the law had some special regulations for Awakened groups.

Jiangbin No. 1 High School had made all the necessary preparations before the training began, and there were also relevant legal regulations to minimize liability.

Although that was the case, the school definitely didn't want this kind of thing to happen.

Xia Shanhai was an insider, relatively speaking, he could better understand the danger of the Awakened profession.

Understanding was understanding, but his heart was also bleeding. His wife beside him had lost several pounds, relying entirely on a glimmer of hope to hold on until real news came.

Whether the news was good or bad, Xia Shanhai could foresee that his wife's tense spirit would relax slightly, and it would be the beginning of a major illness for her.

In the noisy and chaotic crowd, there was an ordinary-looking man who had also been standing there.

He was like an ordinary citizen who had come to join in the fun, with a plain face, a middle part hairstyle, wearing a slightly worn brown leather jacket, about 180cm tall, mixed in with the crowd, and no one noticed him.

Suddenly, the "brown leather jacket's" eyes lit up slightly, and he saw a group of people slowly walking out of the entrance of Jiannan Town.

In an instant, the people guarding here were boiling.

The volunteer team shouted the loudest, cheers and whistles rose and fell, waving small Huaxia (Chinese) national flags, like welcoming overseas compatriots who had suffered and returned home safely.

For the families of those cultivators, it was again a mix of joy and sorrow.

Scenes of people recognizing each other calmly or embracing and crying bitterly were presented before people's eyes.

As the cultivators were claimed one by one, the volunteers immediately stepped forward, fiercely挤ing (pushing) away the news reporters who were shoving microphones into the mouths of the Awakeners.

The volunteers surrounded the unclaimed Awakeners, offering clothes and food, driving vehicles, and sending these Awakeners who were not greeted home or to the hospital.

Every time someone came out, it was a huge blow to Li Qingmei.

Great expectations were exchanged for great disappointment.

She still didn't see Li Weiyi's figure in this team.

She only felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet. Her body tilted and fell into her mother's arms.

Li Qingmei's mother and Li Weiyi's mother were colleagues. Their emotions were equally low, but they could only help Li Qingmei in a flustered manner.

Just when Li Qingmei felt that the whole world was about to leave her, familiar cheers rang out again. She had heard such sounds countless times. Someone else had come out.

Li Qingmei only felt a glimmer of light in the darkness before her. She held her mother's shoulder with one hand, struggling to stand up, her eyes passed over the crowd, and she saw a familiar figure.

Li Qingmei's head went blank, and she stood there foolishly.

And that strong Li mother, covered her mouth with one hand, and at this moment, tears welled up like a spring, unstoppable, hot tears flowed out of her eyes.

Li Weiyi pushed through the crowd with both hands and rushed forward quickly.

Xia Yan also saw her parents, and even saw her mother's anxious and worried look. She hurried over.

Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue looked at each other, seeing such a scene, their emotions were inevitably a little complicated.

What Jiang Xiao didn't expect was that a group of unfamiliar young people quickly came up and surrounded the two siblings, showing concern, which made the siblings a little touched, and a little confused.

"Xiao Pi! Xiao Pi!" Xia Yan's exclamation came from a distance, Jiang Xiao hurriedly pushed through the crowd to look, but saw Xia Yan hugging a middle-aged woman who had fainted, calling out anxiously.

Without saying a word, Jiang Xiao raised his hand and cast a Blessing.

"Here, Xiao Pi!" Li Weiyi's voice also came over, Jiang Xiao looked over and just happened to see Li Weiyi holding Li Qingmei, who was crying so hard she was almost抽搐ing (twitching), in his left arm, while embracing his mother in his arms.

On the side, Li Qingmei's mother, who was also Li Weiyi's future mother-in-law, was gently stroking Li Weiyi's arm, her eyes were red and her face was excited.

My siblings are already miserable enough, and you're still showing me the life of a winner?

Despite his吐槽ing (making sarcastic remarks), Jiang Xiao smoothly gave Li Qingmei a ray of Blessing.

Accompanied by Li Qingmei's incomparably beautiful and alluring nasal sound, Jiang Xiao only felt that the whole world had become quiet.

......

In the distant crowd of onlookers, the man in the brown leather jacket smiled comfortably and turned to leave.

As the man got into a taxi, the driver in front turned on the conversation: "I really hope that our people can be safe and sound, these people are really too pitiful."

"Yeah."

Driver: "Where to?"

The man said, "East District, Garden Residential Area."

Before Jiang Xiao and his sister were sent home in a car arranged by the school, the man in the brown leather jacket returned to the Garden Residential Area one step ahead, took the elevator, and went straight to the seventh floor.

The man stepped out of the elevator, looked at room 701, where the siblings lived, on the left side of the corridor, turned around, took out his key, and opened the door of room 702.
