Chapter 742 - 305: Dawn Joins In!!

The voice was not loud.

But it clearly reached the ears of Lei Meng and Liu San, who had just walked into the room.

"Martial Saint Middle Realm?!"

Liu San gasped, his eyes rounding, and he suddenly looked at Qi Hao.

Lei Meng also paused his steps, his gaze instantly focusing on Qi Hao.

Qi Hao’s heart skipped a beat, his thoughts racing.

His face instantly showed a mixture of bitterness and relief as he nodded forcefully, saying, "Yes! He’s actually my distant cousin; I went to see him this morning, originally intending to invite him to join our Cyan Dragon Gang to boost Brother Meng’s influence... who knew we’d encounter his enemies’ ambush halfway."

He spoke with lingering fear: "My cousin fought desperately to protect me and managed to break through the siege..."

This explanation, half true and half false.

Positioning himself in relation to the Bauhinia Association member as cousins.

Lei Meng and Liu San exchanged a glance, showing an expression of understanding on their faces.

So that’s it, now it makes sense.

No wonder Su Hao was in such a hurry to find someone; he was trying to recruit a powerful Martial Saint level ally for the gang!

"Good! What a man full of loyalty and righteousness!"

Lei Meng’s eyes burst with strong admiration, and he gave Qi Hao’s shoulder a hearty slap.

"To fight and kill enemies to protect his own brothers, such a brother, I, Lei Meng, admire! This Su Qiang, we, the Cyan Dragon Gang, must have!"

His heart was secretly overjoyed.

Initially, they thought taking in the fallen Su Family was simply acquiring a group of battle-hardened elites.

Unexpectedly, it also included a strong Martial Saint Middle Realm ally as an extra.

This was simply a windfall.

"Go! Bring me that treasured old mountain ginseng from the storeroom! And go buy electric medicine, no matter the cost, bring back the best medicine! Hurry!"

Lei Meng roared orders at his subordinates, and then pointed at Old Li, shouting, "Old Li! Be on high alert! If anything happens to Brother Su Yu or that Brother Su Qiang inside, I’ll skin you alive!"

"Yes! Boss, don’t worry!"

The subordinates responded in unison, immediately scattering to carry out their tasks.

Old Li wiped his cold sweat, more diligently attending to Fang Qingyu’s injuries.

At this moment.

A series of hurried and light footsteps came from outside the door.

"Su Yu! Where is Su Yu?!"

The voice arrived before the person did.

A black sportswear-clad silhouette with somewhat disheveled crimson hair rushed into the medical room; it was Jiang Wei. Her clear red eyes were filled with urgency, quickly scanning the room, and when she saw the unconscious Fang Qingyu on the stretcher, her pupils shrank sharply, and she immediately rushed to the bedside.

"How is he?"

Jiang Wei looked at the busy Old Li.

Lei Meng and Liu San saw this and quickly approached.

"Miss Su, don’t worry!"

Liu San hurriedly said, "Brother Su Yu is wounded by shockwaves from the earlier explosion; his internal injuries are severe, but Old Li says he’s not in immediate danger! We’re doing everything we can to treat him!"

Lei Meng also said solemnly, "Miss Su, rest assured! Brother Su Yu was injured while looking for us; we, the Cyan Dragon Gang, will spare no expense to heal him!"

Jiang Wei’s heartstrings relaxed immediately.

She then looked at Lei Meng and Liu San and continued, "Thank you, Brother Meng, just now he was talking about going to the Force Field to help you, but I didn’t see him come out."

This sentence perfectly filled in the last piece of the puzzle.

Confirming Fang Qingyu’s concern for his companions’ safety, risking his life to go to the edge of the battlefield, resulting in being severely wounded by shockwaves.

Lei Meng and Liu San’s last trace of doubt disappeared.

"Miss Su, rest assured! Brother Su Yu is blessed; he will be fine!"

Lei Meng thumped his chest in assurance.

...

Meanwhile.

City of Injustice.

An abandoned old warehouse on the edge of the Inner City.

The location is secluded, far from the clamour, serving as the temporary safe meeting point chosen by Lin Yu and others.

The warehouse interior was sparse, with only a few emergency lamps giving off dim light.

When Wei Banmeng, Su Wanqing brought Yan Lin, and the saved Old Qin, Old Qiao stepped into the warehouse, they immediately spotted Chu Kuanglan, Lin Yu, and other members of Dawn already waiting there.

"Banmeng! Wanqing! Are you alright?"

Chu Kuanglan was the first to greet them, his large bell-like eyes scanning the crowd. Seeing Old Qin and Old Qiao looking battered but still spirited, he visibly relaxed.

Lu Jiuyuan also supported Lv Chen, who still looked pale but could barely stand, as they walked over.

"We’re okay."

Wei Banmeng’s cold face also showed a hint of relief at seeing his companions, "Old Qin, Old Qiao?"

"Hey, lucky enough not to die!"

Old Qin grinned, though it made the wounds on his shoulder ache and he grimaced, but his eyes were bright.

Old Qiao also nodded his head.

Lin Yu’s gaze immediately fell on the woman behind Wei Banmeng and Su Wanqing, a woman with a cold and alluring demeanor, wearing a mask and exuding a deep vibe.

"And who might this be...?"

"This is Yan Lin, the President of the Bauhinia Association." Su Wanqing promptly introduced.

Yan Lin nodded slightly towards Lin Yu and the others.

But she didn’t say much more.

"Where are Qingzi and Jiang Wei?"

Wei Banmeng looked around, not seeing those two familiar figures, immediately growing anxious.

"Relax! They’re fine!"

Chu Kuanglan shouted immediately, his face showing relief and excitement.

"We were ambushed too, three at the peak of Third Tier! Damn it, almost got taken out! Luckily, the rat was clever, brought along a mysterious expert who helped us fend them off... Later we found out they were sent by President Yan!"

He paused, his voice rising, full of awe: "Qingzi and Jiang Wei on their side were even fiercer! I’m not sure what they were up against, but according to the rat, they dismantled the entire high bridge. Qingzi is currently unconscious from exhaustion, wounded, but Lei Meng and his team have taken him back to Gray Rock District for treatment, Jiang Wei is also fine."

After hearing Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei were safe.

Wei Banmeng and the others, their hearts that had been in their throats finally fell heavily back into their chests.

Especially Wei Banmeng, whose tightly clenched fists silently loosened.

As long as Qingzi is fine, the sky won’t fall.

At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly stepped forward.

With clear and serious eyes, she looked at Wei Banmeng, Su Wanqing, and the others, her voice gentle yet filled with strength: "Now, can you tell us? What exactly is the mission you’re carrying out in the City of Injustice? Although our power is limited, as long as we can help, Dawn is duty-bound."

Wei Banmeng and the others exchanged glances upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation appearing on their faces.

They understood Fang Qingyu’s previous concerns very well.

He didn’t want the people of Dawn, who’d managed to escape and start a new life, to be drawn into the Federation’s internal whirlpool and this deadly mission.

Seeing their silence, Lin Yu seemed to understand.

A smile of understanding and resolve appeared on her fair face, her voice echoing clearly in the spacious warehouse:

"In fact, we chose to come to the City of Injustice, not merely to avoid danger. Before leaving the Arctic Great Wall, I told everyone."

Her gaze swept over all the Dawn members behind her, each standing tall, their eyes firmly fixed on her, "Our lives were given to us by Captain Fang. So, wherever and whenever, you just need to say the word."

Lin Yu’s gaze returned to Wei Banmeng:

"All of us who have lived through death will unhesitatingly choose to stand by your side."

Wei Banmeng heard these words.

He hesitated for a moment before choosing to briefly share their current mission with Lin Yu and the others...

And when Lin Yu heard them.

Her eyes suddenly brightened, saying, "Then we can help too!!!"

Wei Banmeng and the others were taken aback... Then showed hesitation.

Actually, Fang Qingyu didn’t choose to involve Lin Yu and the others for two main reasons.

The overt reason was that Fang Qingyu wanted them to start a new life, not get drawn into danger again.

The covert reason was that they might be captured...

All because of problems within the Federation, and they had managed to escape.

To also make them choose to stand by the Federation and exert themselves for it would be too unfair to them...

So Wei Banmeng dared not agree at this moment.

Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled brightly and said, "Actually, we understand what you and Captain Fang are worried about, but we’re not choosing to stand by the Federation’s side; we’re choosing to stand by your side. Can you understand? Because we trust Captain Fang, and we trust you."

Upon hearing this, Wei Banmeng and Old Chu stared in surprise...

But soon, Wei Banmeng suddenly smiled, stepped forward, extended his hand towards Lin Yu and the entire Dawn Squad, his voice clear and strong:

"Then welcome... to join us."

Lin Yu looked at this hand reaching out to her, looked at the sincere smile on Wei Banmeng’s face, and without hesitation, extended her hand, firmly shaking his hand.

"It’s an honor!"
