Chapter 136 Heading Out of the City
The group arrived at the spacious and bright front desk, where the receptionist greeted them with a smile and polite manner, asking, "Dear guests, what kind of service do you need today?"
Song Xinglan was the first to speak in the crowd, answering, "We need to complete the registration process." His voice was clear and loud.
The receptionist smiled and replied, "Okay, please tell me the name of the person who registered."
Without hesitation, Song Xinglan named two names: "Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue."
Upon hearing the two names, the receptionist raised her head slightly, glanced curiously at everyone, and then quickly lowered her head again, skillfully beginning to process the relevant procedures for them.
Time passed by, and after a short while, two badges gleaming with dazzling silver light were delivered to Song Wanning's fair and delicate hands and Ye Chuxue's slender and graceful hands, respectively.
At this moment, Song Xinglan, who had been looking serious and earnest, solemnly said to the two, "Alright, from now on, you have successfully completed your registration and officially become glorious soldiers. However, besides coming here to participate in the trials, never forget the sacred mission you bear as soldiers!"
After hearing this, Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue nodded obediently, indicating that they understood.
Not only that, but they also received two thick books as an extra gift—one containing detailed information about the mysterious and unpredictable abyss; the other clearly listing the various military ranks and their corresponding responsibilities and rights.
Just then, Song Xinglan spoke again, "Next, let your second sister take you to arrange your accommodations. My third brother and I need to return to the military camp to handle some matters."
After saying that, he turned and walked away, with Song Lingfei following closely behind him.
With a smile on her face, Song Wanyin led Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue slowly out of the magnificent and solemn hall.
The three walked along a quiet path, shaded by green trees on both sides, with a gentle breeze bringing coolness and freshness.
Before long, an elegant villa came into view.
"We've arrived. This is where we live. My eldest brother and third brother are busy with military affairs all year round, so I live here alone most of the time."
Song Wanyin said softly, and stepped towards the door, extending her slender finger to gently press the fingerprint scanner.
With a soft "beep," the tightly closed door slowly opened.
The scene behind the door was instantly revealed to everyone, which was quite a sight.
The interior was exquisitely decorated and cozy, a stark contrast to the villa's austere exterior.
Soft lighting casts a warm glow over the entire space; exquisite paintings adorn the walls, adding an artistic touch; and a soft carpet covers the floor, making one feel as if walking on clouds.
Song Wanyin slightly stepped aside, gesturing for the two to go in first. Ye Chuxue stepped into the room with great curiosity, her eyes darting around as she carefully observed everything around her.
She couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Wow, this place is amazing!" Song Wanning, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement.
Then, Song Wanyin led the two up the stairs to the door of the room on the second floor.
She gently pushed open the door and said to the two people behind her, "You can stay in these two rooms. They're next to each other, so you can look out for each other."
As the two entered the room, the first thing that caught their eye was two large, snow-white beds that looked soft and comfortable, as if they could give them a good night's sleep.
A simple sofa is placed next to the bed for resting or reading; against the wall stands a row of tall wardrobes, presumably filled with all kinds of clothes; not far away are matching shoe cabinets, TV cabinets and other furniture, everything is complete.
After the two came out, Song Wanyin recorded their fingerprints and then left in a hurry.
After the two of them worked together to carefully decorate the room, they rested for a while and then took out some delicious snacks from their respective bags to enjoy.
While chewing her food, Song Wanning turned to look at Ye Chuxue beside her and asked softly, "Xiaoxue, shall we take on a mission? That way we can go out and see the vast and mysterious world outside."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxue nodded without hesitation, agreeing: "Yes, that's great! I was just thinking of going out to gain some experience too."
So the two of them quickly put down the snacks they hadn't finished eating, stood up, and began packing their belongings.
In no time, they were fully armed, wearing sturdy and durable equipment, looking heroic and imposing.
After making all the preparations, the two of them stepped firmly and powerfully into the magnificent hall once again.
Previously, Song Wanning had noticed a particularly conspicuous place in the main hall—a huge bulletin board covered with all sorts of papers.
Based on her past experience, she deduced that in addition to missions issued by the regular army, there are likely many independent missions issued by individuals or small groups.
Moreover, this bulletin board is not just for posting tasks.
To provide greater convenience and safety for those who dare to venture into the abyss and explore the unknown, it also displays in detail the areas that have been explored so far.
Just then, Ye Chuxue suddenly pointed at the map in surprise and said, "Oh my, I see! Now I finally understand why my brother said that one must at least reach the God Emperor realm to enter this abyss."
Looking in the direction she was pointing, it was clear that each area on the map was explicitly marked as being accessible only to those with the strength of a God Emperor.
Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly.
After a brief discussion, they finally decided: since that's the case, let's choose to go to the place with relatively low level requirements to start our adventure.
As the dazzling light of the teleportation array gradually dimmed, Song Wanning and Ye Chuxue's figures also disappeared.
Not long after, as the light completely faded, the two arrived at their destination.
At this moment, the two finally realized that their environment was unusually gloomy and dark, as if shrouded in a thick layer of haze.
Looking up, the sky was a chilling blood red, like a sea of blood hanging upside down in the heavens.
"Is this the legendary abyss?" Ye Chuxue gazed around and whispered softly.
Song Wanning chimed in, "Indeed, I've never seen such a bizarre environment before!"
Knowing the mission was fraught with danger, the two men not only wore tough combat suits but also equipped themselves with a set of high-quality armor to maximize their safety.
After they put on their helmets, their entire heads were completely covered, leaving only a pair of wary eyes peering out.
After making thorough preparations, the two cautiously headed towards the supply station not far ahead.
