"You must have heard about this emergency. Could you send your men to investigate Miss Gu Li's whereabouts?"

Gu Yuanqing glanced at him disdainfully, seemingly somewhat displeased: "Otherwise, what do you think I'm here for?"

He waved his hand, which was adorned with a sea-blue gemstone, and immediately a team of white-clad guards advanced in an orderly fashion towards the basement. The light reflected from the gemstone inadvertently caught Chen Guo's eye.

Chen Guo maintained the composure he had cultivated as the district chief for so many years, keeping a gentle yet polite smile on his face, while inwardly cursing the arrogant young man.

The investigation was faster than expected. The white-clad guards who went down were unharmed, but they crawled out of the cave so fast it was as if a ghost was chasing them. Fortunately, they were carrying a person out.

Chen Guo glanced at the young man with some doubt, but didn't say anything more.

As expected, Gu Yuanqing frowned immediately upon seeing their disheveled appearance: "Since there are no alien species below, you look terrible!"

The team leader quickly stopped in front of Gu Yuanqing, his voice still trembling uncontrollably.

"Report: The current temperature reading below is safe; the pollution level is... Level 1!"

Chen Guo and Gu Yuanqing's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

Didn't a missionary appear?!

Why did the pollution concentration rise to level one?!

Everyone stared in terror at the massive crater. Everyone knew what a Level 1 contamination zone meant—it was a place where a single alien species could wipe out an entire city.

And in an area where the pollution level is currently at level one, who knows what will happen next!
