Ling Feng naturally paid no mind to the useless trash before him.
Under the trembling gazes of a group of students.
Ling Feng walked up to the man, picked up the two packages from the ground, and his fingers pierced into them, quickly retrieving pieces of something like rock candy.
The students beside him gasped in unison.
They had already realized what these things were.
These fierce bandits were indeed smuggling these deadly items across the border!
"What are you doing? This is all our merchandise. If you dare to touch it..."
The man opposite him roared at Ling Feng with a hint of madness. It was obvious that these things were more important to him than his own life.
Ling Feng didn't even glance at the man, and simply kicked him away!
The man spat out a mouthful of blood, his chest caved in.
He was clearly beyond saving, his body flying backward like a tattered sack, crossing the railing in an instant and heading towards the bottom of the cliff!
This hundred-meter cliff would surely shatter him into pieces!
It was absolutely impossible for this man to survive.
However, even killing this man could not quell Ling Feng's anger!
The items he brought today could potentially harm tens of thousands of people!
Who would be responsible for the separation of families and the ruin of homes for these people?!
Besides, they couldn't afford to take responsibility. Die!
Those behind them were truly responsible!
"How did these poisonous substances get in here? Is no one managing this?"
Ji Yunyue couldn't help but shake her head, feeling extreme hatred towards the scene before her.
Ling Feng shook his head, "These things never appeared outside the Northern Border before, but now..."
Ji Yunyue and Ling Yan exchanged glances. Clearly, both of them knew what was going on!
With the end of the previous campaigns and the return of the Town North King to the city, some individuals outside the Northern Border had become restless. This scene was infuriating!
"Let's go!"
Ling Feng didn't even spare a glance at the trembling students beside him, and simply leaped over.
Ji Yunyue and Ling Yan also followed along the hillside, moving at a rapid pace.
In a blink of an eye, they disappeared from the sight of all the students.
The students beside them only then recovered their senses. Trembling, they cautiously approached the two piles of things on the ground.
Someone among them exclaimed in warning, "What are you doing? Don't touch what they left behind!"
"What are you afraid of? They're already gone!"
"Damn, it's poison... so much of it, I wonder how much it's worth!"
"What are you thinking?!"
Two male students moved to the front, their eyes filled with greed as they looked at each other!
"No one is allowed to speak of today's incident. This is a matter of life and death. If you want to die, then speak!"
One of the boys seemed to have some authority. He turned and sternly reprimanded everyone with a fierce look.
Everyone couldn't help but shiver, and then nodded at the boy.
Clearly, they truly dared not speak carelessly!
"Alright, as long as you don't say anything, the things inside, once sold, everyone will get a share!"
The boy said through gritted teeth.
However, only one or two dared to nod at the boy.
The rest of them cowered behind, shaking their heads at the boy.
They had just returned from the brink of death, and now they didn't want to fall into another abyss with this boy.
"What do you mean by shaking your heads? We were almost killed just now, and now it's a blessing in disguise. Such a good opportunity, do you want to give it up?!"
The boy roared at the crowd!
He seemed to have gone mad.
But just then, all the students who had been cowering opened their eyes wide and looked at the boy with extreme terror.
The boy was stunned by everyone's reaction, then sneered, "Hmph, it's good that you know fear. No one is to speak of this matter today..."
"If you try to sell this much poison, you'll be executed for decades!"
A indifferent voice sounded from behind!
The boy's entire body trembled with fright. He spun around abruptly, only to see more than a dozen people in uniform standing behind him at some unknown time!
Clearly, these were not guards, but real soldiers!
"Who, who are you?"
"Arrest them!"
Yang Fei commanded indifferently.
In a blink of an eye, several people stepped forward, and capturing a few children was like playing a game!
The rest were terrified.
They shouted repeatedly!
"It has nothing to do with us!"
"We didn't do anything, don't arrest us!"
"That's right, we didn't touch the poison..."
No matter how much they shouted, they were still taken away. As for the one who wanted to hoard the goods for himself, his fate was even more miserable.
At first, he shouted a couple of times, but after being beaten, his face was bruised and swollen, and he no longer dared to speak nonsense!
And under the cover of night.
Ling Feng and the other two had officially crossed the border!
Looking at the swirling dust and the rapidly dropping temperature, Ling Yan couldn't help but frown.
Was this the battlefield where his brother had fought and killed before?
Behind them were lush forests and mountains, but in an instant, it became a flat expanse. Everything before them looked like a desert.
Ji Yunyue also felt somewhat unaccustomed to the change. She even detected a pungent smell in the air.
Ling Feng's expression was calm. As he walked, he explained to the two behind him, "There was a rather intense battle here. This area was bombed, and there's some residual radiation. It will be impossible for grass to grow here for decades."
"Bombed..." Ling Yan gasped, then shook his head helplessly, "Why go to such lengths?"
"In war, there are no 'whys,' and no consideration for humanity or mercy! All that matters is victory or defeat. The losing side will inevitably make the ordinary people behind them pay a heavy price! The price of life!"
Ling Feng explained indifferently.
Ling Yan nodded. He had never participated in a real war, so how could he understand all of this?
"However, with such an open terrain, how did those people manage to transport the goods here before?"
Ji Yunyue looked around the surroundings, her delicate brows furrowed.
"They bypassed this area. After all, there are still some landmines on the ground. Follow my footsteps."
Ling Feng said casually, and his pace quickened!
Upon hearing that there were landmines under the ground, Ji Yunyue and Ling Yan both tensed up.
Ling Yan took the initiative to have Ji Yunyue stand in the middle, while he covered the rear. In this manner, they followed Ling Feng's footsteps, advancing rapidly.
After about five kilometers, the scene once again returned to lush greenery.
Looking back, the bombed area must have been quite a spectacular sight during the explosions.
This was inevitable.
They couldn't imagine it.
What Ling Feng didn't mention was that this was a battle from a year after Ling Feng first joined the army, before he reached the position of Town North Heavenly Venerable!
The enemy had bombed this place solely to kill a small squad led by Ling Feng!
The process was extensive, and the cost exceeded tens of billions!
All of this was just to kill Ling Feng, but clearly, they had failed!
And Ling Feng stepping onto this land again was like taking a stroll!
