Chapter 252

And time will not stop flowing just because anyone takes a break.

When Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing had almost rested, nearly 36 hours had passed since the entire league camp was confirmed to have fallen and the alienation wave broke out.

During the five or six hours that Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing rested, other people in the camp did a lot of things:

The Diyao school team split into two teams and raided the public vending machines near the training hall;

When the Diyao team went out for the second time, the Romfei team took the initiative to follow them, coordinated their actions, and even brought back some supplies besides food and daily necessities;

The Golden Uriel team also wanted to join the team going out, but Zoe and Lulumarin persuaded Sorok to stop, arguing that at least one team in good condition needed to be stationed in the base.

The training hall wasn't solely populated by students from Diyao, Golden Uriel, and Romfeld. However, the athletes from other schools, who had only just arrived last night, were naturally in no better shape than the well-rested students from the three schools. Some of the other school athletes needed to rest, some needed to recuperate, and some were even barred from the public hall and had to rest in the "special rest area" converted from the equipment room.

As a still considerable fighting force, Golden Uriel stayed in the training hall to protect the safety of the other resting students.

Some students from other school teams were not seriously injured and could not sleep on the training mats all the time, so they got up on their own initiative and looked at the schedule that Jiang Yunu and others had placed in a conspicuous place in the hall, and then took the initiative to do some logistical chores listed on the schedule.

Jiang Yunu walked out of the bathroom on the second floor and stood in the corridor upstairs looking down, just in time to see the lively scene in the lobby on the first floor.

If it weren't for the wrong time, place and environmental conditions, this situation could almost be called prosperous.

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Yijing's voice came from behind, and the footsteps stopped beside Jiang Yunu, bringing a burst of fresh water vapor.

The other person had obviously just come out of another bathroom.

"Watch the interstellar wonders." Jiang Yunu said with interest.

Shen Yijing heard the smile in her voice and looked in the direction she pointed with her chin slightly raised. She found two figures wearing their own academy uniforms, walking together with a figure wearing a Golden Uriel uniform. They were holding a stack of compressed cubes in their hands - those were vacuum-folded training cushions.

It was obvious that two Duma students were moving things together with the students of Golden Uriel.

"They just did some chores they were supposed to do." Shen Yijing said lightly.

"It's rare for players from Duma Academy to do odd jobs," Jiang Yunu said with a smile. "I guess before this league, the word 'odd jobs' was a completely foreign concept to many people on your team, and they didn't think it would even resonate with them."

This sentence is true.

"The situation is different, and they will learn to adapt to the new environment on their own," Shen Yijing said. "If the First District's 'principle of respectability' only produces useless people who don't pursue so-called respectability and are incapable of doing anything, then the district's demise is only a matter of time."

"..." Jiang Yunu couldn't help but look at Captain Shen with a strange look for a while.

This was not the first time that Shen Yijing had been looked at by her with strange eyes, and he had developed a certain immunity to it.

He didn't show any obvious discomfort, just paused and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Wow." The white-haired girl exclaimed, "I heard the 'top of the pyramid' in District One mocking District One's demise."

The word "finished" doesn't even sound like something that can come out of Shen Yijing's mouth. After all, it is relatively unrefined.

"I'm just saying that if it maintains certain inherent practices," Shen Yijing corrected the arbitrary part in Jiang Yunu's words, adding new conditions to his point. "If it blindly pursues meaningless things, even the largest district may be doomed."

Jiang Yunu kept smiling. She continued to look at Shen Yijing with interest, feeling that Captain Shen was a creature that was always new to her.

At this moment, someone not far away coughed twice.

“Ahem!”

The cough was very deliberate and forceful.

Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing turned around together and saw Sorok standing about five steps away.

Sorok came to find them both downstairs.

"Zoe asked me to come up and see how you two are resting," Solok said. "I'm glad you're awake. Let's go down. Diyao and Romfei's supply inspection team are back."

Rest is just a mute button pressed occasionally in a busy schedule. Once the rest is over, there are still many things that require the two of them to be busy.

Shen Yijing's return gave the entire joint team a new shot in the arm, and also allowed many potential internal conflicts to be resolved in advance - such as the management of "mild alienators".

There are mutants in the training hall, even if they are mild. Even though they ate with everyone in the cafeteria not long ago and greeted each other as ordinary students when they met in the apartment building, for some people, living with mutants is still nerve-wracking and difficult to calm down.

It is impossible for Jiang Yunu and his team to hide all the alienated students, completely prevent them from coming into contact with normal students, and isolate them physically.

Conditions do not allow it, and it is difficult to completely hide their existence.

Shen Yijing took on the supervisory responsibility: "I will live with the mildly alienated students."

He chose to live with mildly alienated students, using himself to create a "protective fence" between normal students and alienated students.

This "guardrail" is of course also two-way.

Jiang Yunu thought for a moment before she said, "Why not move the team affairs office and the captains' rest area to the dividing line?"

Lulumarin said, "Yes, I agree."

With this operation, the humanoid two-way guardrail will no longer be solely the responsibility of Shen Yijing, and all the responsibilities will not be placed on one person's shoulders.

This approach actually has short-term effectiveness.

If the time they spend together is prolonged and normal students are allowed to stay with students with alienated characteristics for a long time, other conflicts and differences may arise.

Fortunately, changes always come earlier than planned.

46 hours after the camp fell, the outside world finally noticed the changes in the camp.

The timeline finally came to the time point when President Shen of the Snow Wolf Psychic Association could not contact his son, and Coach Su of the Spirit Deer Psychic Association could not contact Jiang Yunu either.

"Is there a problem at the Upper Three Districts' senior league camp? But the dynamic system feedback we received indicates that everything is normal and the children are conducting their daily training as planned."

"Leaving the camp for field work during the competition? Yes, the competition committee issued an immediate notice to adjust the competition format, allowing staff to hold separate meetings outside the camp and giving students a weekend of free time... What went wrong?"

When Snow Wolf and Spirit Deer's inquiry communications reached the terminals of various personnel, the recipients sounded more confused than the other.

Some people were quick-witted and realized something was wrong from the inquiry phone call.

It turns out that to the public who have lost contact with the camp, this is just an ordinary weekend in the camp, and the players who are on off-season are given maximum freedom of movement.

As the Snow Wolf Psychic Association and the Spirit Deer Psychic Association took the lead and rushed towards the coordinates of the league camp, Jiang Yunu and Captain Shen were already in the closed camp, and the two were heading towards a location with an abnormal energy reaction.

"Are you sure it's just in front?" Jiang Yunu asked.

Shen Yijing said: “Sure.”

This abnormal energy reaction information was detected jointly by Jin Qing, Vanessa, Di Yao and Romfei, four players with perception skills.

During the past dozen hours of continuous exploration and collection operations, each joint team would bring along a player with perception skills.

Perception skills are certainly not needed for exploration and collection of supplies - but they are needed to detect possible abnormal devices in the camp.

"It can support the barrier covering the entire league camp. Whether it is equipment or runes, it will release a powerful energy field when it is running." Lulumarin said this confidently when discussing "how to explore hidden devices."

So based on the content of that meeting, Jiang Yunu proposed that each field team should bring at least one student with perception skills. As the scope of material exploration expands, they will also use their perception abilities to scan the surrounding environment to see if there are any unknown energy fields that are difficult to identify.

——And then there was indeed a harvest.
