Chapter 268

The rescue advance team tracked the source of the signal, entered the inner building complex from the main gate of the center, and then arrived at the training venue almost unimpeded.

When the main building of the training hall came into view, the captain of the rescue team made a gesture, indicating that the special power team he led should stop first.

She asked the team member with the best perception skills to step forward, and asked the technical equipment officer carrying the advanced compressed material box to assist, so that the two team members could confirm at the same time—

"Are there any unusual movements near the training hall? What are the students' remote observations like?"

The rescue team's reconnaissance and assistance were professional, and soon, a member with perception skills responded confidently: "There are no abnormal energy fields around the training venue, and no adverse magnetic fields have been detected."

The technical equipment technician reported: "The ground around the venue, the building exterior, and the connecting roads are all normal. No signs of traps have been detected."

Theoretically, the training hall had been previously communicated to the students as a "temporary safe haven," so its credibility should be high, and it was also the primary destination for the rescue team's operation. However, the cautious captain of the rescue team still considered the possibility of a trap.

You can't blame her for being suspicious.

The rescue team had a very smooth journey from the time they stepped onto the central platform to the time they entered the inner buildings.

They had received news of the mutants wreaking havoc in the camp and had made thorough preparations for a fight. However, from the time they landed on the central station and entered the camp, they didn't find any mutants, let alone even the remains of a mutant.

If it weren't for the traces of battles left in many places in the camp, it would be obvious that there had indeed been conflicts of varying sizes here. The captain of the rescue team would almost suspect that someone within the three major associations was spreading false information.

"Captain," a team member suddenly said, "There's someone at the training hall entrance—a student wearing the Diyao Academy uniform!"

The rescue team leader immediately came to his senses.

At the entrance of the training venue, Captain Lulumarin of Diyao, who had noticed some movement outside, came out to check the situation in person.

She seemed to be walking out alone, but in fact, behind the half-open door of the venue, there were at least two student teams composed of students from multiple schools.

They lay in ambush at the rear, waiting for Lulumarin's firsthand information. Romfi Captain Zoe and Golden Uriel Captain Solok were in the closest hiding spot to Lulumarin, so they could provide her with support as soon as possible.

As the captain of Diyao, Lulumarin naturally recognized the emblems of the three major associations.

"It's the rescue team!" Lulumarin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the combat uniforms and marching posture of the people coming. She turned around and passed the message to the back door.

Then she walked down the steps in front of the training hall and approached the association rescue team that was also approaching the training hall quickly.

The captain of the rescue team doesn't waste time. She is from the Snow Wolf Psychic Association and is a person who does things in a decisive manner.

Connecting information, verifying identities, and checking the situation of the students in the "temporary safe base"...

When the support team quietly sent a rough headcount to the team's internal channel, the rescue team leader silently glanced at her personal terminal screen. Despite her honed calmness and composure, her gaze couldn't help but darken at the number—it was clearly inconsistent with the original number of students in the camp.

It's much smaller.

But the students around him were in good condition and were rejoicing at the arrival of the rescue team, so the rescue team leader could not show any unnecessary emotions.

She saw that Lulumarin was calm, and Solok and Zoe were in good spirits. The three school team captains were all capable of taking on responsibilities and discussing issues rationally. The rescue team captain then called the three students aside.

"The report says that the camp is infested with mutants, and we saw many traces of battle on our way here." The captain took the lead in asking the question that had been brooding on him all the way. "But why haven't we seen a single mutant's remains, nor have we encountered any mutants head-on? It's like they suddenly disappeared from this camp? Do you have any clues or intelligence about this?"

The three captains looked at each other and exchanged glances.

It seemed as if all the aliens in the camp had suddenly disappeared. As people trapped inside the fallen camp, the students naturally sensed it first, and their perception was very clear.

And for the three captains, they could even roughly estimate when the large number of mutants in the camp suddenly disappeared in large numbers.

"——Any idea?" asked the rescue team leader.

She had a sharp eye and noticed that the students seemed to be exchanging information secretly.

Lulumalin took a deep breath. She was still concerned about the safety of Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing. She stepped forward and straightened her chest. "Actually, we have companions. They left the base a while ago and said they would go deeper into the camp to explore and find a way to get everyone out of this predicament. One of them is Shen Yijing, the son of President Shen of the Snow Wolf Psychic Association and captain of the Duma Academy team. The other is Jiang Yunu, a student at Golden Uriel Academy."

She was a very tall girl, and when she straightened her back, her eye level was at the same level as an adult.

She did not tell the rescue team leader all her guesses, but only carefully revealed all the information that she thought should be safe, and hoped that the rescue team could find Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing and provide assistance to them who might be trapped.

Jiang Yunu was destined to owe Lulumarin a treat. Since her personal terminal had been silent for nearly six hours, Lulumarin knew that the white-haired girl was determined to treat their bet as nothing.

...This is very Jiang Yunu.

When revealing the information, Captain Di Yao deliberately put Shen Yijing's name in front, letting the title of "Son of the President of the Snow Wolf Association" to cover up Jiang Yunu in a low-key manner, and also better attract the attention of the people of the Snow Wolf Psychic Association.

All the students who remained in the base did not know the current situation of Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing. They were worried that they might be in a difficult battle, and that the large number of mutants who disappeared in the camp were all heading towards the two of them.

——This guess is not wrong.

Shen Yijing was indeed besieged frequently, but he was not in a tough battle.

Jiang Yunu surrounded the "core" of the middle-aged man alone, and she was putting others in a tough fight.

The "mad genius" side of the middle-aged man is fighting against his survival instinct.

On the one hand, he had to guard against Jiang Yunu really grasping his main consciousness, and on the other hand, he gradually became more eager to explore Jiang Yunu himself.

The middle-aged man no longer had a physical body. He had exhausted all his life's knowledge to reach his current state of "conscious mastermind driving everything." In his frantic research into the mysteries of human evolution, he had abandoned his physical body, allowing his former body to become a stepping stone in his research.

Therefore, he could not understand how Jiang Yunu was able to have a physical body and yet drive external objects with his consciousness.

"How is this possible?" the middle-aged man muttered to himself. "How is this possible?"

The more he dealt with and competed with Jiang Yunu, the more he felt that Jiang Yunu was almost like the perfect form he had imagined.

"You will continue to grow stronger. You are not afraid of prolonged battle exhaustion. Your combat awareness and thinking are very fast." The middle-aged man stared at Jiang Yunu, taking stock of all the advantages he had discovered in the white-haired girl. "You are also resistant to potions. Potions really have no effect on you. I don't think there is a problem with my potion, so the problem must be you - you are the one who has a potion version that is ahead of me."

Jiang Yunu was busy while the middle-aged man was mumbling to himself.

Her supernatural vines had already wrapped around the "energy ball" several times, causing this initially large object to gradually shrink to the size of a rugby ball.

"Haven't you reached a conclusion yet?" Jiang Yunu waited until the man's ramblings came to an end before she asked, "If there's no conclusion, you might end up as small as a walnut kernel."

She was not sure what she was. She only knew that she first woke up in a base at the foot of a deserted mountain on an isolated island. She looked like a human, felt intense hunger, had clear thinking and the instinct to survive. After arriving in the human city, she still had the habits of a social animal and needed to socialize with people.

So she thought that she should still be a human being.

After all, the "human" attribute in her is so strong.

When another green supernatural vine attacked the middle-aged man, he seemed to change his mind. He did not dodge on purpose, but used the edge energy of his main brain to withstand the attack. Then, like a senior masochist, he carefully savored the taste of the vine whipping.

Jiang Yunu felt that the way the man savored her attack was a little strange, which made her pause slightly for her next whipping.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in the 3D projection reopened his eyes which had been closed due to careful savoring.

"Your energy has increased again!" the man said. "Although the increase is very slight, in such a short time, you have truly become stronger again!"

In a flash, a flash of inspiration seemed to pass through the middle-aged man's brain.

He stared at Jiang Yunu, and suddenly stopped dodging, and his main consciousness also stopped fleeing.

“…” The lips of the middle-aged man in the projection were trembling. He seemed to be mumbling a few words, but the syllables were very light and the decibel was very low, making it difficult to hear clearly.

Shen Yijing also looked over. Whenever he had a chance, he would pay close attention to the situation on Jiang Yunu's side.

He also saw the man's lips moving and wondered what he was going to say.

The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Yunu with even more fanatical eyes.

He spoke again, his voice becoming clearer: "...Perfect Body! You are just like the perfect body I once envisioned!"

The main consciousness no longer fled, but instead moved closer to the countless supernatural vines extending from Jiang Yunu.

"Let me take a closer look," the middle-aged man said. "Let me take a closer look and see where you came from. How did a perfect body appear out of nowhere in this world?"

Jiang Yunu doesn't like being explored in reverse, and she is not sure whether men can invade other people's minds.

So she didn't hesitate and used her supernatural vines to pierce the edge of the "energy ball", forcing out the middle-aged man's survival instinct and making him stay where he was.

"Be honest," the white-haired girl said, "and I'll give you a question card that can answer one of your questions."
