Chapter 461: Chapter 184: "Frontline Number 1 Is Very Hard

「Three months had passed.」

"..."

Standing on the Flying Ship Deck, Chen Fan stared blankly at the distant Western Eternal Night Xuanwu No. 1 Defense Line that stood tall on the coast.

kilometers long.

That was the information he’d been given.

He estimated it was about a hundred meters high.

A hundred-meter-tall City Wall was equivalent to a 30-story building. Calling a defense line of this height an impassable barrier was no exaggeration. In his past life, he had watched many zombie movies.

The most shocking scenes were always the zombie sieges.

Invariably, those cities would end up falling. At the time, he’d lamented how overpowered the zombies were, but now it seemed the city walls just hadn’t been high enough.

If they had a defense line like this one, a hundred meters tall...

...he’d change his last name to Zombie if they could climb it.

Compared to this, his Jiangbei Defense Line was completely put to shame.

’Is this the front line?’

Chen Fan took a deep breath, a sudden sense of security washing over him. With a defense line of this magnitude guarding the front, the Eternal Night Continent should be very difficult to conquer.

However...

He quickly remembered that on the New Continent, seven Level 10 Defense Lines had ultimately fallen.

Just then—

A Flying Ship suddenly sped toward him, and a voice, mixed with the whistling wind, faintly reached his ears.

"This is the Western Eternal Night Xuanwu No. 1 Frontline! Unauthorized personnel keep out!"

"State your identity!"

"Chen Fan of the Jiangbei Mortal Realm!"

After announcing his identity, Chen Fan pulled the Token Elder Qiu had given him from his coat and waved it in his hand.

Before long.

The Flying Ship, which had been hovering at a cautious distance, slowly approached as if it had received new information. A middle-aged man stood on its deck, looking at him with a serious expression.

"Domain Lord Chen, if you please!"

"Our person-in-charge is currently inspecting the front line. He will receive you personally."

He didn’t know the identity of the young man before him, only that after reporting the news, he had received a swift reply. The person in charge of the front line had contacted him directly, instructing him to respectfully invite their guest over.

This was the first time he had spoken directly with the person-in-charge.

He had never heard of the Jiangbei Mortal Realm.

But... he would from now on.

"Alright."

Chen Fan nodded lightly. His Flying Ship followed the one in front, slowly approaching the magnificent defense line. It was clear that Elder Qiu must have notified them.

The closer they got to the defense line...

...the more terrifying its scale felt.

The Flying Ship beneath him was not small, but before this defense line, it seemed as dainty as a toy helicopter. Behind the line, countless people scurried about on the ground, a dense, busy mass. He could also see tightly packed Wooden Houses, providing shelter for the people within the line.

When the Flying Ship was level with the top of the defense line...

...Chen Fan, leaning on his Jade Staff, walked off the Flying Ship and onto the City Wall. There, he saw a woman with a bombshell figure, wearing a cheongsam under a greatcoat, standing on the wall and smiling at him.

Behind this woman stood seven or eight other people.

These seven or eight people likely held high positions at the Western Eternal Night Xuanwu No.1 Defense Line. They naturally exuded the aura of superiors and gave off a stern feeling, yet at this moment, every one of them had forced a smile onto their face.

You could tell they didn’t smile often.

Their smiles were bizarre.

Like a vicious dog forcing out a difficult smile when faced with a chicken leg.

...

"..."

Chen Fan stepped onto the front line that protected one of the lifelines of the Eternal Night Continent. Qi Yue also disembarked from the Flying Ship, standing behind him with a stoic expression.

On this trip...

...Qi Yue was in charge of basic security.

He looked at the group before him, paused, and then asked with some hesitation, "May I ask who is the person-in-charge here?"

’Judging by their positions...’

’...it should be the woman in the front.’

’But...’

’He had never seen a woman in charge of a defense line, especially one who looked so young—thirty at most.’

’How could the person in charge of a front line be such a young woman?’

"That would be me."

The moment he finished speaking...

...the alluring woman at the front of the group stepped forward with a smile. Standing before Chen Fan, she tucked her hair behind her ear and shot him a look. "What, you look down on women?"

"..."

Chen Fan’s brow furrowed, and he took a slight step back. ’I’m starting to regret building these Sky Rails. No one told me the person in charge of the Western Eternal Night Xuanwu No. 1 Frontline was a woman.’

’He didn’t like doing business with women.’

’Women were often difficult to deal with.’

’We’ve barely met, and she’s already trying to pin a label on me.’

"Not at all. I just didn’t expect the person in charge of an Eternal Night Frontline to be so young."

"Young?"

The woman seemed delighted, her alluring facade giving way to a grin she couldn’t suppress. "Domain Lord Chen, you’re so young yourself, and haven’t you built the Jiangbei Defense Line?"

"It just shows we’re both young and accomplished."

But then her tone shifted, and her eyes darted playfully.

"I saw it a half-month ago. You were laying a track in the sky. Can your Mortal Realm High-speed Rail run on those Sky Rails?"

"You poor boy."

"Toiling away for so long laying those tracks in the cold wind... it nearly broke my heart."

"Come, let your big sister give you a hug."

With that, the woman spread her arms and took a step forward, gesturing as if to pull Chen Fan into an embrace.

Chen Fan’s brow tightened further, and he took another step back.

From behind, Qi Yue stepped forward. Although her impassive face showed no emotion, her movement created an invisible barrier between the two.

"What’s this?"

"Can’t a big sister get a hug?"
