Chapter 1057 Frontier Defense

Gonger Peak.

"Loki is here?!"

In the temporary stronghold at the top of the mountain, after hearing An Qingyu's description, Baili Pangpang's eyes widened in shock, "Damn!"

Cao Yuan's expression on the side was also extremely serious, "Where is Qiye? Is he all right?"

An Qingyu sat cross-legged on the ground, clipped his savage-like nails, and replied, "I didn't see him in Kunlun Xuzhong, but now that Commander Zuo and Mr. Lu are teaming up to kill Loki, nothing should happen. "

Hearing this sentence, the other three present were relieved.

There are only a few hours left before the last day for the recruits to cross the Pamir Plateau. The recruits who have not been eliminated have all entered the last section of the journey. As long as they have trekked the last few kilometers, they should start climbing the Gongge Erfeng.

Jiang Er and others, who were in charge of the previous sections of the journey, also returned to the temporary stronghold on Gonger Peak. Only Shen Qingzhu was still on the top of the mountain, sitting at the last checkpoint.

"But, it's been a few days, why hasn't Qiye come back?" Baili's fat face was still full of worry.

"The situation in Kunlun Xuli is far more complicated than we imagined. Maybe he has some opportunities in it." An Qingyu calmly spoke as he recalled the event of peaches gathered by the group of immortals in his mind.

"The recruits will finish their assessment soon. If Qiye doesn't come back to sit in town, things will be a little difficult."

"By the way, what about the eliminated recruits?"

"Still working as a volunteer in the frontier defense company." Baili Pangpang peeled a piece of orange, stuffed it into his mouth, and sighed.

"I don't know how many people can get enlightened after so many days..."

...

The western border of Daxia.

Kayushi Frontier Defense Company.

The biting cold wind howled from the end of the barren land, rolled up fine dust, and ruthlessly slapped Su Zhe's red cheeks.

He was wearing a thick military cap, carrying a gun, and his lips were trembling slightly under the cold wind. In just a few days, his delicate face, which was originally fair, had become rough and vicissitudes.

His Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Hunger kept rushing into his heart. He wanted to look down at the time, but his neck was stiff and painful.

At this moment, a palm patted his shoulder.

"The rookie has changed shifts, let's go eat."

Hearing this voice, Su Zhe felt as if he had been pardoned. While exercising his muscles and bones, he turned his head and smiled at the border guard who was also wearing military uniform behind him, "Thank you."

The soldier waved his hand at him, and smiled slightly with some plateau red cheeks.

Su Zhe, who was hungry, rushed into the cafeteria quickly, took the plate from the metal rack, ordered a few cold meals, then found a table to sit down by himself, and started to gobble it up.

"Eat slowly, it's like being reincarnated like a starved ghost." Su Yuan hugged the plate, went to sit opposite him, and silently rolled his eyes, "I didn't see you so hungry in the training camp. "

"That's different. I ate instructor An's bad fish cakes during the training camp, and I didn't feel hungry after training all day." Su Zhe pointed to the food on his plate, "The food here...is too oily and watery. not enough."

Su Yuan didn't speak, just picked up the chopsticks and started to eat silently.

"By the way, tomorrow should be the last day of the assessment." Su Zhe said as if he had thought of something, wiping the corner of his mouth.

"Um."

"After tomorrow, what are your plans?"

Su Yuan paused slightly with the hand holding the chopsticks, "I don't know."

"You said, are we really going to be sent back home?" Su Zhe looked around and said with some puzzlement, "If we really have no hope of staying, why did Instructor Lin send us here? He What do you want to do?"

"Instructor Lin said that after being eliminated, the real teaching has just begun." Su Yuan said calmly, "He must have wanted to express something to us through this..."

Before the two could finish speaking, a voice came from behind them.

"You brothers and sisters, you two have such a good relationship." A round and honest middle-aged man with high cheekbones smiled and sat down beside the two.

Su Zhe knew this man, his name was Ke Changlin, he slept on his upper bunk, and he was a soldier of this frontier defense company. After Su Zhe arrived here, he personally took Su Zhe to know everything about this place.

Ke Changlin took out a piece of parchment paper from his pocket, put it on the table and opened it, and several scones were quietly spread out on the table.

"My Ana just came to see me and sent some home-baked goat milk cakes for you to try."

"Ana?" Su Yuan was a little puzzled when he heard these two words.

"It means mother." Su Zhe explained, "Uncle Changlin's mother is a minority, and his father is Han. He grew up on the plateau."

Su Yuan nodded, thanked politely, picked up the scones and tasted them.

"Let me tell you, why did you two young men with thin skin and tender flesh come to us to be volunteers?" Ke Changlin looked at Su Yuanwenya's eating, and couldn't help laughing. Poor, most people don’t have time to hide, but this is the first time I’ve seen young people like you who come forward on their own initiative.”

Su Yuan and Su Zhe looked at each other, and did not answer this sensitive question tacitly, but asked instead:

"We are all just volunteers, but Uncle Changlin, you know the conditions are so poor, why are you here to guard the border?"

Ke Changlin smiled, "Me? My home is on this plateau, just over the hill behind. I'm close to them here, and it's more convenient for Ana to come and see me.

And you also know that this cloud of fog has been covering the border for so long, who knows what strange things will rush out of it?

I am here to guard, and my Ana and my two younger brothers can live with more peace of mind. "

"What will rush out of the fog?" Su Yuan asked pretending to be ignorant.

The frontier defense company is not a special organization like the night watchman that specializes in dealing with "mysteries". This is just a military border checkpoint. As early as more than a hundred years ago, before the fog fell, this frontier defense company was responsible for guarding the border.

The soldiers stationed here are not superpowers with forbidden ruins, but ordinary people who have been trained in the army, and they don't even know the existence of "mysteries" and gods.

"Then who knows." Ke Changlin shrugged, "The news said that all the creatures in the fog are dead, but, seeing such a big fog every day, I always feel panic in my heart... that's it. That kind of fear of the unknown, always feels like some monster will suddenly jump out."

Su Zhe nodded, and couldn't help but say, "However, a monster that can rush out of the fog should be terrifying, right? With our firepower, can it be killed?"

"If you don't want to die, you have to do it." Ke Changlin patted the table and pointed his other finger behind him.

"If the border is broken, what will happen to my family?"
