Chapter 95 Evacuation from the Border Area
"Hey, staring at a beautiful lady like that is really ungentlemanly."
After boarding the plane, Kyogoku Hiko immediately started gossiping.
Yuan Sheng glanced speechlessly at the show-off, then lowered his voice and said, "Those three are from the outpost."
"Oh," Hu Zizai nodded, then immediately realized, "Huh?! Damn, they've taken off. Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I would have wiped them all out."
Old Hu is a typical rough and tough guy with top-notch abilities. He puts all his intelligence into his innate talents and is neither good at nor too lazy to try to figure out what others are thinking.
"So many Blue Shield employees have died, and students from that mining team also perished. They were at their last gasp, fighting like cornered beasts. There's no need to add to the losses."
"I have sent images of the three rebel members to the city defense garrisons of Xingcheng and Jiangnan Base. Given the large number of anomalous creatures awakening in the border area, we can only send troops to intercept them at a few possible escape routes."
Hearing Yuan Sheng say this, Hu Zi nodded.
Yuan Sheng was certainly not going to be fooled by that little girl's clumsy pretense.
He didn't attack on the spot entirely because there were civilians present. Otherwise, even if his energy bar was depleted, he was confident that he and Hu Zi could take down those three guys together.
Without a doubt, it was these three outpost members who sneaked into the buffer zone and used the mage's virus code to hack the defensive towers.
As the fighter jet took off and flew straight towards Haicheng, Yuan Sheng, finally able to catch his breath, recalled a key question that had puzzled him deeply but which he hadn't had time to think about in detail.
How did that boy know the buffer zone was no longer safe, and how did he specifically point out that there were three rebels?
The Blue Shield company's convoy arrived in the old city earlier than theirs, which suggests that the other party must be closer to the old city.
But even if you get very close, it's impossible to observe the buffer zone hundreds of kilometers away.
Even if those three guys had already left the buffer zone and entered the border area, how did the boy know what they had done to the defensive tower?
A netizen's ID popped into Yuan Sheng's mind.
Could it be that the boy, like the superhuman psychic revered by netizens as a prophetic goddess, possesses the ability to foresee the future?
The three people who received the invitation from the Genius Council exchanged their identity information upon meeting. However, as the initiator of this trip, the council member only knew the other's code name in the council—Polaris.
Jiang Luo has never appeared in public online and is extremely mysterious. Some netizens have even maliciously speculated that the prophetic goddess might be a burly man in real life.
Jiang Luo had demonstrated his precognitive abilities in front of the three of them, but that happened during the first playthrough.
At this moment, when everyone has memories, all they know is that the director's special ability is the extremely rare force field manipulation.
It is well known that high-level superpowers have an extremely low probability of being dual-elemental, and dual-sequence abilities are, if not impossible, almost impossible. This is probably because high-level superpowers require more energy, or perhaps due to some kind of balancing rule.
In short, so far, Yuan Sheng, Jingji Yan, and Hu Zizai have no idea that the director they are traveling with is the Prophet Goddess herself.
Yuan Sheng squinted and looked at another fighter jet flying on his left.
By the time the Blue Shield rescue team arrived, the battle had already ended, but they arrived just in time. Although the beast tide had receded, all means of transportation had been destroyed in the battle between the two apex predators.
The defensive towers have been shut down, and the buffer zone is now safe, but walking there requires traversing several patches of tall grass. Needless to say, the path is fraught with danger.
Moreover, in temperatures of minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius, most people's thermal clothing would be damaged. Let alone walking, they would freeze into ice sculptures if they just stayed in place and waited for rescue.
The fighter jet instantly transformed into a rescue plane, and the survivors quickly boarded and fled this extremely dangerous border area.
The director did not ride with them, but instead boarded the plane that the boy was in.
Yuan Sheng looked at the rapidly receding ruins, a huge question arising in his mind.
Sequence 0: Biological characteristics, class and order attributes, and survival habits are all unknown.
Judging solely from combat power, it seems inferior to the Golden Salamander.
Although another surging tide of beasts attacked at that time, anomalous creatures of this level cannot be overwhelmed by sheer numbers.
The golden salamander was subjected to a combined and frenzied attack, and its defenses were breached by the vibrator that Hu Zizai had smashed. Even so, Sequence 0 ultimately only managed to fight its opponent to the death.
But for some reason, Yuan Sheng intuitively felt that Sequence 0 had not exerted its due combat power.
Why?
Unfortunately, due to the excessive moisture and smog, the monitoring satellites failed to capture any clear images. Furthermore, the discovery of Sequence 0 was too late, leaving very little information available for analysis.
When AA was projecting the holographic image, Yuan Sheng noticed that the expressions of Liu Baichuan, the Federation's top biologist, and the boy were somewhat strange, clearly indicating that they knew something.
Considering that the other party instructed the director to evacuate the old city and specified a hospital, this can be basically confirmed.
Who exactly is that boy?
Yuan Sheng, who is obsessed with stars, the universe and mysterious energy, surprisingly shows a little curiosity and interest in a human being.

Miss Luo
Ji Chenyu, who kept glancing at Jiang Luo out of the corner of his eye, finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Excuse me, how did you come to know our Tezi?"
Jiang Luo also turned to look at Ji Chenyu with some curiosity. The prefix "our family" was very intimate, and their relationship was obviously more than just classmates.
"He helped me," Jiang Luo thought for a moment and gave a fairly objective answer, then asked, "What's your name?"
Ji Chenyu quickly cleared his throat, introduced himself, and emphasized that he and Qi Te had known each other since the first grade of elementary school, and that they were the best of friends in the world.
"What kind of person is he?"
"Then you've come to the right person. Tezi may seem cold and doesn't talk much, but he actually has a very kind heart. His grandfather sold pancakes at a stall, and when he was in elementary school, he would often take the leftover pancakes from his grandfather's purchases and walk for more than half an hour to deliver them to the children on the other side of the border fence, which is the restricted area..."
Once Ji Chenyu started talking, he went on and on.
Cao Yingchong wanted to interrupt, after all, it was Qi Te's business, and it was somewhat inappropriate to reveal so much to a stranger. But his curiosity about Qi Te made him want to know more as well.
"Then, what about his parents?" Jiang Luo asked again.
Ji Chenyu opened his mouth, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, unsure of what to say.
Yue Wanwan frowned and said, "If you want to know about Qi Te, you can talk to him yourself. If he's willing to tell you, he will."
On the day of the Genting VIP room incident, Yue Wanwan suffered both physical and emotional trauma. Her already weak personality led her to become so withdrawn that she didn't even want to see her parents, who loved her the most.
It was Qi Te who recounted her childhood experiences to her, helping her overcome her psychological trauma.
Therefore, in Yue Wanwan's heart, it was a secret known only to herself. She privately did not want anyone else to know, nor did she want to expose Qi Te's wounds in front of others.
"Feel sorry!"
Jiang Luo apologized sincerely, and Yue Wanwan, who had been so assertive just a moment ago, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Qiao Yi, who enjoys a little bit of everything—anime, OOC, and real-life idols—suddenly smelled a familiar scent.
"Wow, this is a real battleground! This guy, Qi Te, seems so quiet, but he actually had this trick up his sleeve. Impressive!"
Ji Chenyu and Cao Yingchong's phones both beeped with message notifications at the same time. When they opened Feixun (a messaging app), they immediately thought that Qiao Yi was really too gossipy.
However, the two soon began to observe Senior Wanwan and Miss Luo.
I must say, it really does have that flavor.
The fighter jets quickly flew out of the border area and entered the buffer zone. Not long after, the male protagonist in the chaotic scene slowly opened his eyes.
.............................
Haicheng, city defenses.
More than a dozen Scorpion fighter jets landed one by one at the parking point.
All personnel disembarked from the cabin and proceeded along the safety passage to the waiting area.
Even during the winter break, the pollution index in the wild is much higher than in the city. All people returning to the city from the border area, regardless of their purpose or identity, must undergo thorough checks here.
Once a pollution index exceeding the standard is detected, the pollutant must be immediately sent to the city's pollution control and purification system.
If the index is severely exceeded, the person must be isolated in a safe house and purified three times a day until the index returns to normal and it is confirmed that there are no diseases or abnormalities before being released.
At this time, medical personnel who were already in place in the waiting area immediately began to examine and treat the wounded. In addition to the military personnel, there were also dozens of Oasis Company employees in sharp suits and neat attire among the testing personnel.
"Thank you for saving me!"
Qi Te looked at Jiang Luo. Although the mask glowed with a faint blue light and remained in one-way mode, he could still clearly see that pretty yet slightly immature face.
The other person was younger than he had imagined, looking only eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Hey kid, what's going on? Hurry up and line up for the check."
Ji Chenyu waved from a distance, urging them on.
Actually, he could easily tell that his good friend clearly had something to say to that girl. But seeing Wanwan's hesitant expression, as if she wanted to speak but was too embarrassed to, he couldn't bear it. So, he gritted his teeth and called out.
"Stay connected."
Jiang Luo nodded to Qi Ting, picked up his badly damaged backpack, and turned to walk towards the speed gate...
