I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Chapter 295: Watching the Stars at Night

These criminals were fiercer than the next, especially in the later stages. They fought like cornered beasts. They were going to die either way so they were determined to drag a few students down to hell with them.

The students suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, they had all been wearing armor, so their injuries were not fatal. Even the most severely injured ones did not die. They only needed to recuperate for a while to recover. After all, they were martial artists, and thus their vitality was much stronger than ordinary people.

In addition, Chu Yunfan had patrolled the base and helped them kill the powerful enemies. Thus, no one died. This was a blessing.

To Chu Yunfan, this was just a small effort. It was not much, but it made his reputation rise among these students.

Chu Yunfan became the second most important person in the base—second only to Yao Xueyi.

The sky started to darken and the temperature began to drop rapidly. It went from extreme heat to freezing point.

The students broke off into different groups according to their affiliation.

“Fortunately, some of those criminals had restored the base’s energy supply system. Otherwise, we would’ve been in for a long night,” Gao Hongzhi said with a smile, “I didn’t expect there to be professionals among these condemned criminals!”

The entire base was as warm as spring. This was enough to survive the night. Although they could circulate their True Energy to resist the cold, there was a limit to their energy. But the cold was endless, and it would definitely be torture.

“People nowadays are multi-talented. With so many criminals, it’s normal they’d have a few talents among them,” Chu Yunfan said with a faint smile.

This was the difference between modern society and Ancient Zenith Civilization. No one was born a warrior. Even those condemned criminals had received higher education before becoming warriors. A person who was purely just a warrior was non-existent within this modern society.

However, Chu Yunfan had figured it out. Federation University intended to test them, not kill them. Therefore, they had dropped these not too far from the ex-military bases.

These students were the cream of the crop among the countless students in the federation. Naturally, they would think of seizing the base. No one was an idiot. If they could not even come up with this idea, then they deserved to freeze to death outside and be eliminated.

“I’ll be in charge of the night shift today. All of you can sleep in peace,” Chu Yunfan pronounced.

Although the base had been seized, the defense system of the base had been disabled. There was no other choice but to send people from the various teams to take the night shift to avoid being ambushed by other criminals or powerful monsters that were planning to launch a sneak attack.

“I’ll go with you,” Tang Siyu said as her gaze fell on Chu Yunfan.

“Okay, come along then,” Chu Yunfan said.

“Okay, you two are on duty today. We’ll take over tomorrow. Two people for night duty are perfect,” Gao Hongzhi said.

The others did not object.

Chu Yunfan and Tang Siyu jumped straight up the base’s wall.

The two of them sat down and looked up. They could barely see the bright starry sky above them. The raging Spirit Energy in the environment distorted light, making the sky a little blurry. But the night sky here was still extremely brilliant compared to anywhere else they had ever been.

“I’ve only ever seen this view on the virtual network. This is the first time I’m seeing it in person,” Chu Yunfan said.

Tang Siyu sat down very close to him. Chu Yunfan could vaguely smell the fragrance on her skin.

“Thank you,” Tang Siyu said softly.

“You’ll have to state what you’re thanking me for. A thank you without context is weird, don’t you know?” Chu Yunfan said with a small smile.

“There are so many things I have to thank you for that I don’t even know where to begin,” Tang Siyu said, “In the Tang family, I’m just the daughter of a mistress. My fate was already sealed the moment I was born. It was nothing more than a question of who to marry. For me, life had already been decided. With such status, who would give a d*mn about me?

“Other than my mother and elder brother, you’re the one who treats me best,” Tang Siyu said with a smile. Her smile was like a beautiful blooming flower.

Although Tang Siyu did not smile often, she was not as cold as some girls. She would often give people small smiles to maintain a polite facade.

Even Chu Yunfan was a little stunned by this heartfelt smile.

“What are you staring at?” Tang Siyu suddenly asked.

“Nothing. It’s just that you’re really beautiful when you smile like that.” Chu Yunfan’s face turned red, but he still told the truth.

It was not that Chu Yunfan had never seen a pretty girl before, but Tang Siyu’s smile was breathtaking.

“I couldn’t care less if anyone else had called me beautiful,” Tang Siyu said, her smile widening. Her eyes curved upwards like two crescent moons. “But if it’s you, I’m very happy to hear it.”

Chu Yunfan laughed and rubbed the back of his head. He had never encountered such a situation before.

In the end, no matter how gruesome his days had been, he was just a young man who had just turned eighteen.

“Because of me, I’m afraid the Jiangs won’t let you off so easily, so I decided to say thank you,” Tang Siyu said, “Maybe you don’t care, but I’ll forever remember what you’ve done for me.”

“Since you think I won’t care, then I shan’t,” Chu Yunfan said.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

Monster roars sounded. They faintly saw monsters approaching from a distance.

“Seems like it won’t be a peaceful night. In any case, the night is long. Why don’t we use this opportunity to kill these monsters and train some more?” Chu Yunfan asked as he looked at Tang Siyu.

“Let’s do it,” Tang Siyu replied.

After saying that, Tang Siyu jumped down from the wall. She used the Wind-haze Form that Chu Yunfan had taught her. It was an extremely impressive movement technique.

Now that her training had ended, she was able to ride the wind and practically fly. Her control over air currents had reached its peak.

As she flew down, she looked like a deity who had descended from the heavens. She reached the ground and landed nimbly.

Chu Yunfan followed closely behind. He also followed the air currents and flew down. He went down a couple of feet before finally landing on the ground.

Many monsters stood before them. These monsters quickly surrounded the duo.

“Go!”

Chu Yunfan and Tang Siyu shouted simultaneously. They charged into the midst of these monsters and the weapons in their hands slashed down.

Slash!

One of the monsters fell to the ground. Although these monsters were difficult to deal with, they were still no match for Chu Yunfan. They were slaughtered instantly.

However, many more monsters pounced on the duo.

The night of slaughter went on until the Sun rose. Only then did these nocturnal monsters retreat.
