Run into the world

Chapter 601 Escape
When it comes to the feud between North and South Korea, it can be traced back to... bullshit!
Duanmu Xiang didn't come here to stage a coup, so he didn't care what grudges and hatreds there were between the two sides. He only needed to understand one thing... It seemed that the people of South Korea had some special understanding of the mirror weapon, and felt that they could gain huge benefits, so much so that they didn't even care about the Western alliance asking for it, and even cooperated with the North and the South as never before.

Interesting, really interesting.

Duanmu Xiang stroked his chin and left the information wall. Soon a very old-fashioned idea came to his mind. Since they were recruiting people, I just needed to join in. There would be people to provide food and drink along the way, and people to chat with me, so I wouldn't be bored. How nice.

Duanmu Xiang started looking around excitedly. After searching for a while, she finally found a handsome guy. She followed him home, stole his ID card while he was sleeping at night, disguised herself, and went to sign up the next day.

However, as soon as she arrived at the government residence, Duanmu Xiang felt something unusual. It was not that she had a premonition of crisis, but that something seemed to be illogical.

The cooperation between North and South Korea is of course true, and there is no problem with conscription, but aren’t the strength of these soldiers too poor?

It is not easy for common people to achieve innateness, but even in the acquired circle, these people are weak. They are not even as good as Gao Chong who had not yet made his fortune, which means they are at the same level as the vegetable vendors in the vegetable market.

So the question is, what can such strength do on the battlefield?
If they can’t even defeat ordinary patrolmen, do we really expect them to be able to resist the elite forces of the Western Alliance?
"So... cannon fodder?"

Duanmu Xiang scratched his cheek, and suddenly he felt a little regretful. If he had known that they were recruiting cannon fodder, he would not have come. It was not that he was afraid of anything, but he did not think that the officials of the United States would give some cannon fodder any good treatment. Would they let him eat bran and vegetables without even seeing any meat along the way?
We can't bear this injustice!
Duanmu Xiang had already decided to take the opportunity to run away at night, but plans always fail to keep up with changes.

Fragrant white rice, mellow white wine, exquisite and fragrant steak, and of course the 'classic' kimchi, this cannon fodder group seems to be treated exceptionally well.

The faces of the soldiers around Duanmu Xiang were full of smiles. He also smiled, but in his heart he was more and more certain of the identity of the "cannon fodder group". Well, it seems that the people behind this team still have some conscience, at least they know to provide the cannon fodder group with good food and drink before they die.

Of course, this also indirectly shows that in the eyes of the upper nobles, these cannon fodder groups are doomed to die!

While eating steak, Duanmu Xiang cast a subtle glance at the commander of this army.

He was a man with a rather sturdy build, even looking a bit fat, with a rather ferocious look, but his eyes were full of pity. His name was... I hadn't asked yet, but it didn't matter, the look in his eyes said a lot.

Duanmu Xiang calmed down. He was looking forward to the mystery being solved more and more. What secrets did these people from South Korea discover?

After eating and drinking, their so-called newly recruited team finally set off.

After three days of continuous journey, they finally arrived in Seoul. Duanmu Xiang was a little impressed by these American people who dared to put things they didn't even understand in the country's capital. If something really went wrong, the command system would probably be paralyzed in an instant.

What's more, people from the Western Alliance will definitely come to fight for it, and when the war breaks out, this capital will be turned into a mess. What's the point?

Duanmu Xiang shook her head and followed the large army into the urban area. They were soon settled in a place that was not too remote. However, there were five armies distributed around them, and these armies surrounded them in the middle. The intention of surveillance was obvious.

Duanmu Xiang was just planning to find a time to eavesdrop on the upper echelons’ meeting, but something went wrong when the cannon fodder was not there.

There are still many smart people in this world, and don't think that the common people can't see through the so-called conspiracy because they don't know much information. They just make omissions when making decisions because of the lack of information. In terms of intelligence and overall perspective, they are not necessarily worse than those good-for-nothings who make decisions above.

Here is an example: a young man was very sensitive and discovered the problem, but he did not say anything at first. Instead, he pretended to be frightened and timid and begged to go home, and was laughed at by many people for this.

However, when his superiors clearly told him that he could not desert the battlefield, he became even more devastated, saying that he did not want to go even if he had to be charged with desertion and stand trial.

However, he still failed to get what he wanted. The prison refused to let him leave and even said that the prison did not want idle people. No matter how good you were at operating a sewing machine, they would not want you!
Then this guy exploded, revealing all kinds of details and clues, revealing the fact that they were actually a "cannon fodder group", which immediately caused a huge commotion.

At first many people didn't believe it, but when they found that several surrounding troops quickly took out their weapons and surrounded them, they had to believe it. The formation was fully prepared, weren't they just afraid that they would run away?

Why are your swords so shiny? We are family, ahsi!

Duanmu Xiang was still as steady as an old dog, and even yawned. All around him were a bunch of grown men crying and wailing, as if they were collapsing one by one even though the surrounding troops hadn't taken any action yet.

"This is probably the gap between civilians and the military. It can't be changed by practicing martial arts or not."

Duanmu Xiang was not in a hurry at all. He might not know the customs and rules of Bangguo, but he understood the so-called "cannon fodder", especially after the disaster, some sneaky skills secretly emerged, and some of them used cannon fodder to enhance their own functions.

These techniques are commendable in terms of ingenuity, but unfortunately, their essential direction is wrong, and their intelligence and talent are not used in the right place.

Cultivation is your own business. Its essence is to elevate your life level. If you mix so many other people's things into it, how can you elevate your life level? Are you a stitched monster?

Of course, for some people, they do not understand what it means to elevate the level of life, and they think that being able to fight means they have improved, but in fact, that is all false.

For example, two people are running a race. One is born at the finish line, and the other is born at the starting line. The one born at the starting line exercises every day for the sake of winning, while the one at the finish line has never cared about it and has never exercised. Then there must be a difference in physical fitness between the two. One can fight, and the other cannot. The one who fights may lose the race at the beginning because he was born at the finish line!

You see, this is what the level of life is all about. It has nothing to do with whether you can fight or not, but it is definitely related to winning or losing, and to attaining enlightenment.

Of course, if you insist on hitting your opponent with a dump truck before the race, that's fine, because there are always people with higher levels of life than you, and there are always other people born at the finish line. On this path of enlightenment, you will still lose.

The only way is to continuously improve your life level and then stand at the end!
"Don't panic, we have no ill will towards you!" "..."

A man in military uniform came out from the front. He seemed to be of high rank. He said something that made Duanmu Xiang almost burst out laughing.

They've gathered like this, and you still say there's no ill intention?

"We will tell you everything honestly. Whatever choice you want to make is up to you. We will not stop you!"

Duanmuxiang: "(;￢＿￢)"

Would anyone believe such a lie? If I hadn't stopped him, I wouldn't have stopped the young man from leaving. Haha, I guess anyone who wants to leave after hearing the reason will be secretly executed.

"We are not unreasonable people, we just don't want to die unclearly. If you are willing to be honest, we are also willing to sacrifice our lives for the country!"

The young man who was causing trouble just now was the first to speak again. Well, I have to say, this guy is really smart!
The officer in front looked at the people next to him, nodded, and shouted, "We need you to be the vanguard to explore a fantasy world."

"..."

The square was suddenly silent, and even the army surrounding them seemed stunned.

Exploring the fantasy world as a pioneer? Isn't this just a pioneering team? What's wrong with that?
Although the illusion is dangerous, this danger does not necessarily mean death, and compared with the benefits, it is actually nothing. Some civilians even sell their bodies and consciences to get the privilege of entering the illusion. This allows them to enter the illusion as a pioneering team, which is even a benefit from a certain perspective.

Why are you making it so difficult and sneaky?

As if to answer the doubts, the legion sighed and said, "This illusion is not ordinary. The reason why we are so cautious this time is because it is the unknown existence in the illusion that invites us to enter!"

hiss!
Duanmu Xiang gasped. He had to admit that although he was knowledgeable, he had never seen such a thing before.

What does it mean that an unknown being in a fantasy world invites them in?
The officer's words had obviously attracted everyone's attention. Everyone lowered their weapons and listened to the officer slowly explain the whole story...

The story does start from the time of the space elevator battle. Unlike what Duanmu Xiang and the others knew, there were two southern Korean masters, but actually a combination of one southern Korean and one northern Korean master.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the conflicts between North and South Koreans are not small, but in fact, when they are abroad, the masters of both sides will tacitly give up the so-called conflicts, and the cooperation between the two is even more reliable than cooperating with other people.

These two masters did not follow everyone into the super large illusion. They were two very calm people. After luckily not being sucked in by the door of the illusion, they began to make war.

Many magical weapons and small illusion doors were left at the scene, and it was at this time that they obtained the mirror magical weapon.

After they got it, they discovered the magic of the mirror weapon. Originally, they should have taken it back home immediately to avoid any more trouble. But the problem was that besides those who were sucked into the illusion gate, there were also support troops from various forces outside the space elevator.

The two Koreans are weak and have been following the Western Alliance to reap the benefits. If they suddenly go back, they will definitely be discovered.

So the two of them cleverly drilled into a small illusion door, and then stayed safely in that illusion until everything was over, and then returned to the Korean side with a fortune in silence.

Unfortunately, although the two were quite smart, they knew nothing about the abilities of professional spies, let alone Duanmu Xiang's super sense of danger, nor the ability to calculate with the help of the fingers. As a result, the matter of the mirror weapon was known.

This matter is not simple. The decayed divine weapon and the unknown existence in another world, all of these seem to represent a huge opportunity. How could the people of the Western Alliance let it go... Wait...

Duanmu Xiang suddenly thought of something. The information Fu Qingmiao had told him at the beginning only mentioned that the mirror weapon was decaying, but he never mentioned that there would be an unknown existence contacting them!
Is this a secret?

What a secret. The other party said it in front of so many people, which means that at least the other party feels that there is no need to keep it secret. In other words, this matter was most likely kept secret only from the people of Chi Country.

So the question is, do people in the Western Alliance know?

There are two possibilities. If the Western Alliance knew about it a long time ago, then it means this is a trap, a trap set for the Red Country. And if the Western Alliance didn't know about it at the beginning, then... then there is no loss.

Even if this was a trap, it would not cause any loss to Fu Qingmiao, because she knew the news of the illusion through Duanmu Xiang, and knew there would be this battle, so she had deployed people long ago. When the Western Alliance might want to trap people, Fu Qingmiao's arrangement was already secure, and the only ones who were hurt were probably the Peng family and Mingfeng.

Wow, Mingfeng won the battle in his previous life when he didn't make any arrangements. It's impossible that he made all the arrangements in this life and still fell into the enemy's trap. This is so funny!
Duanmu Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she thought about this possibility, while the general on the stage in front continued, "That unknown being relies on the mirror magic weapon to communicate with us. He needs our people to help him. In return, he will give us hundreds of innate perfect masters!"

The officer paused and continued, "I know this sounds incredible, but the other party is a strong person who can communicate across the world. It is entirely possible that he will fulfill the agreement, so we decided to take the risk. However, there is still a risk this time. After all, we don't know the other party's identity, strength and character, and there is a possibility of being deceived. So, we recruited you, this is a risk. If it succeeds, the authorities can promise that you will receive the highest level of treatment. If you... the authorities will also grant your family the title of martyr's family and make sufficient compensation."

"Now, tell me your choice! Oh, by the way, you will enter the illusion in advance through the mirror magic weapon before the magic weapon completely decays!"
