"Cheers!" Gu Ran clinked glasses with Caesar and took a big gulp of his soda.
Everyone raised their drink bottles, clinked glasses with those around them, and wore gentle smiles, enjoying the tranquility of surviving a near-death experience.
Honestly, when they first saw the sky full of weasels, many people thought they wouldn't survive and would die there.
Especially the North American hybrids, whose overall strength is actually not as good as those from China, tremble with fear when they work, for fear of being caught by the Kamaitachi.
But thanks to everyone's efforts, we managed to hold onto this place in the end.
Aftermath.
Gu Ran took the Philosopher's Stone out of his pocket and returned it to Caesar.
"I'll return this hot potato to you," Gu Ran said with a smile. "Or, to be more generous, you could just give it to me?"
"No."
It was Percy who spoke; he seemed genuinely afraid that Caesar would give away this special Philosopher's Stone, so he immediately took it back from Gu Ran.
This Philosopher's Stone was extracted from Constantine's dragon bones. It contains pure fire element, making it incredibly powerful and extremely precious.
The Philosopher's Stone is a pure spiritual element, and Gu Ran is interested to know how it is made.
"I'll find some time to test it when I get back," Gu Ran decided to herself.
*……*……*
Next comes the cleanup work. On the Chinese side, Zhang Wanjun arranged for other people to handle the aftermath. The Secret Party's follow-up support forces have arrived and are ready to take over the site.
Gu Ran helped treat the wounds of several people at the scene, among whom Zhang Zhenqi's wounds were the most troublesome.
"The first aid just now was only to stop the bleeding. Now I need to wash off the Yunnan Baiyao from your wound and re-bandage it, otherwise the wound won't heal properly and will leave a scar."
As he spoke, Gu Ran directly used drinking water to rinse her wound. Since mixed-race people have such strong physical abilities, there was no need to worry about bacterial infection and inflammation, so he used water directly.
Zhang Zhenqi frowned slightly. Actually, she wanted to refuse Gu Ran because she had serious doubts about Gu Ran's medical skills.
Or are you pretending to know what you don't?
In her opinion, Gu Ran's combat power was already so exaggerated, it was impossible for him to know everything, right?
However, seeing Gu Ran's serious expression, she was still captivated by his handsomeness, so she let him hold her slender arm and let him do as he pleased.
The wound was really deep, reaching the bone. After cleaning it again, Gu Ran covered the wound with his palm and slowly channeled chakra into his palm using the Palm Healing Technique.
At first, Zhang Zhenqi didn't know what he was doing, but after a while, she felt that the wound on her arm was itchy and warm, as if a warm current was massaging the wound.
She was so comfortable with this feeling that she almost died.
After a while, Gu Ran removed his palm, completing the treatment.
Zhang Zhenqi opened her eyes slightly and saw that her wound had unknowingly healed by 90%!
You should know that the previous wounds had already exposed bone.
But now the wound is just a small cut in the skin, so there's no need to go to the hospital again, and it doesn't even need stitches.
“This…” She stared at Gu Ran with her big, round eyes in surprise.
Gu Ran remained silent, bandaged her up, and finally said, "Consider this a reward for not backing down in the face of difficulties today, but don't tell anyone."
After saying that, he patted her head again, then got up and left.
He needs to go back and rest; he has other things to do next.
Zhang Zhenqi sat on the ground, her beautiful eyes looking at Gu Ran's tall back, a smile unconsciously curving her lips.
*……*……*
Gu Ran booked a new hotel room nearby. After checking in, he took a shower, then went downstairs for a buffet dinner. After eating, he went to sleep and rested.
He needs to recover his strength and chakra as soon as possible.
When he woke up, it was already 9:30 p.m.
He felt a bit hungry again, and since there wasn't much good food at the hotel, he ordered a home delivery from Laoliumuo.
When he took out his phone, he saw many missed calls and text messages.
First, it was Su Xiaoqiang. She seemed to have heard about the earthquake in Beijing and, thinking of something bad, called Gu Ran.
But he had fallen asleep and wasn't answering the phone. Fortunately, they managed to contact Zhang Wanjun and told her that her fiancé was alright, which put her at ease.
Gu Ran naturally wanted to call her back immediately.
"Are you alright?" The first thing Su Xiaoqiang asked after the call connected was, "Are you hurt? Should I take the day off tomorrow and come over?"
"I'm fine, I'm not hurt, don't come any closer." Gu Ran said apologetically, hearing her anxious tone, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Is it really okay?"
"I'm really fine, all my body parts are perfectly fine. Otherwise, if you came over this weekend, I could have fought you eight hundred times, you believe me?"
"You're so frivolous!" Su Xiaoqiang felt a little relieved when she heard him say that.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can you tell me what happened?"
She wasn't from the world of mixed-bloods and wasn't very aware of what was happening at the Hunter Market.
"It's too complicated to explain in a short time. Let's talk about it when we meet." Gu Ran glanced at the time. "I have some things to take care of later. I'm sorry, I can't talk to you any longer."
"You go about your business, but please be careful."
"Well, I see."
"See you this weekend! I've already booked my plane ticket." Su Xiaoqiang is always impulsive, and she had already booked her ticket while she was talking.
"Alright, alright," Gu Ran laughed. "If you hadn't come soon, I would have been seduced by that vixen!"
"You dare!" Su Xiaoqiang said angrily, "Let me see which vixen has such audacity!"
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Gu Ran missed calls from Zhang Wanjun. When she couldn't get through, she sent him a text message telling him to get some rest, and that she would have someone else handle the rest.
I still needed to call my aunt, so I called her to tell her that I was fine and had just taken a nap.
Susie texted to report that she was going to the sauna with Nono and would be staying at her place tonight. Since Gu Ran was the team leader, she needed to report her whereabouts.
As the vice president of the Lionheart Society, she has always been a very accountable person.
Zero was quite straightforward, saying that he had checked into another hotel and needed to rest, and asked not to be disturbed unless necessary.
Gu Ran guessed that it must be the hotel where the potato chip girl and the long-legged girl stayed.
Caesar texted him saying he was holding a victory celebration party, having booked a nearby five-star hotel, and wanted to invite everyone who had participated in the battle, asking Gu Ran to come if she had time.
Gu Ran could only reply with a text message saying that she had just woken up and was sorry she couldn't come.
Unexpectedly, Caesar immediately replied with a text message: "Then forget it, let's have another dance to celebrate when we get back to school."
How much do you love throwing dance parties!
Gu Ran mentally complained, but her phone replied: Okay, I'll definitely participate.
Necessary social interactions are also essential, especially since he just made a net profit of 300 million US dollars from Gattuso's family, not to mention the millions of dollars in change.
Then came Fingel's call, where he reported that Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei had been wrapped up like mummies and were now lying in a intensive care unit at the hospital.
He also asked Gu Ran to bring him food when he had time... The food at the hospital wasn't good, and this guy was almost out of money for food.
Fingel was not idle during this operation either. He used his transportation card to swipe through every subway station in Beijing, which opened the Nibelungen survival passage, allowing Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang to escape.
Otherwise, the two of them would probably be buried in the Land of the Dead along with Fingel and Jormungandr.
On the Secret Service side, Manstein and Masafumi Tomiyama have arrived in the capital and begun the cleanup work.
The Secret Service has a dedicated cleanup team to handle the aftermath, but the financial losses this time were quite significant. Fortunately, the Gattuso family ultimately covered all the costs, so the school didn't have to pay anything extra.
However, when the Gattuso family's accounting team entered the wedding building, they found it in complete chaos, with calculators overloaded and unsure how to compensate the shops in the building.
Because it was announced as an earthquake, but a small magnitude 3 earthquake could not possibly cause such severe damage.
To silence the shops inside the building, the only option is 'money power,' which comes at a hefty price.
The accountants were having a headache, but they still had to bite the bullet and calculate the money, trying their best to save the family some money.
At this moment, Gu Ran finished eating a whole family bucket of food by herself and read all the text messages.
He hung the "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the door, then locked the door from the inside, closed the window, and drew the curtains to block out the view from the outside.
"Time to get down to business." Gu Ran changed into a new combat uniform, then took out a large scroll he had prepared earlier from his suitcase and slung it over his shoulder.
Then he closed his eyes and began to sense the mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
To the west, Gu Ran sensed two marks.
Both marks are underground, 25 kilometers to the west, far from the Divorce Celebration Building.
Gu Ran pondered for a while, not daring to be careless. He took out the Dragon Slayer Sword from his bag, held it in his hand, and then sat cross-legged on the ground to absorb natural energy.
Soon, the body absorbs a certain amount of natural energy, which combines with spiritual and physical energy, and then enters the immortal mode!
Gu Ran's body was immediately covered with dense scales.
"That should ensure everything goes perfectly."
He closed his eyes, re-sensing the two Flying Thunder God marks underground. Then, with a thought, his body began to teleport, and in an instant, he entered the Nibelungen subway!
To be honest, this was Gu Ran's first time entering Nibelungen. If he had had the chance before, he would have really liked to visit Norton's Bronze City.
Unfortunately, Bronze City had already been destroyed by bombs planted by Lu Mingfei and Nono.
According to the description, everything in the land of the dead is dead; it is a treasure trove for alchemists.
But looking at Nibelungen before him, Gu Ran realized it couldn't really be called Nibelungen anymore, because there were no 'dead' things around; it looked more like an abandoned subway repair shop.
Chapter 300 The Dragonbone Cross of the King of Earth and Mountains
In the Nibelungen, a wind, seemingly appearing from nowhere, blew across Gu Ran's face, carrying a hint of desolation.
He took out his phone and glanced at it; there was a signal.
The Secret Party believed that with the death of the Dragon King, the Nibelungen would immediately dissipate, but this is not actually the case. The Nibelungen here has not dissipated and is still struggling to maintain itself, but it is unknown how long it can last.
This is the burial place of Fenrir and Jörmungandr.
