This time it was no longer the pleasant female voice from before, but a deep male voice with hoarseness and fatigue.
"Everyone! One of our extremely important teams encountered a large-scale abyssal monster insurrection in the deep area and is trapped and has lost contact! The situation is critical! Urgent support is needed!"
"I repeat! This rescue operation is extremely important! We are severely short-handed! We need your help! All warriors willing to join the rescue operation, please gather at Entrance 3 immediately!"
There was an eerie silence in the restaurant for a moment, and then an even greater uproar broke out.
"Rescue?"
"Trapped? Or an extremely important team?"
"I guess there must be someone important in the team! Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big scene!"
"Not a big shot. Who have you ever seen the Investigation Bureau give face to? I think it's probably some genius that they've been focusing on training. They're probably afraid of getting hurt. Wasn't the rescue of the rift in Spring City a few years ago all for a genius?"
"Let's go! Let's take a look! If we can help, let's help! The Investigation Bureau helps us a lot!"
"Let's go together! Count me in! My life was saved by the Investigation Bureau back then, so this is a perfect return!"
After a brief commotion and discussion, about half of the nearly one hundred warriors in the restaurant suddenly stood up, without even having time to clear their plates, and rushed out of the restaurant, their footsteps chaotic and hurried.
Some of those who stayed behind showed hesitation and struggle, some shook their heads and sighed, and some continued to eat with their heads down, as if it had nothing to do with them.
Li Wei was also stunned.
Something happened to the official people, or it was because of the Yuan monster riot.
Although her original intention of entering the rift was to upgrade herself and become stronger, the collective sense of honor and responsibility that belongs to the Chinese people in her bones made it difficult for her to turn a blind eye.
[Just after singing "My Motherland and I," the test came?]
She sighed inwardly and could no longer sit still.
After swallowing the last bite of food, she rushed out with the crowd.
-----------------
A large crowd of people had already gathered in the hall in front of Entrance No. 3. A rough estimate showed that there were at least three hundred of them.
At the front stood a middle-aged man wearing a neat gray uniform, with gray hair, a square face, and two three-star badges on his shoulders.
He did not use any amplification equipment, but his voice was clearly heard by everyone.
"This situation is urgent and time is precious, so I'll be brief."
"The space inside the rift is chaotic and disordered, and the routes are changing randomly. We cannot provide precise point-to-point support."
"The only way is to use the human wave tactic and increase the probability!"
"Therefore, this rescue operation will not involve forming a team or setting a specific direction. We will have only one goal—to advance to the deepest part of the rift at the fastest speed!"
"I repeat, this is a solo operation! No teammates to cooperate with, no logistical support!"
The man suddenly changed the subject, his eyes sweeping over everyone present. "So, I'll give you thirty seconds to consider! Those who don't want to go, or feel they're not strong enough, can withdraw now! The Bureau won't blame anyone for this. We thank you for your courage in coming here!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a noticeable commotion and whispers among the crowd.
After a brief hesitation, struggle, and weighing of the pros and cons, about half of the people silently lowered their heads, turned around, and left the hall with slightly heavy steps.
But at the same time, people continued to come from other places. After finding out the whole story, some of them joined the crowd without hesitation, while others left silently.
Thirty seconds later, the number of people in the hall stabilized at around two hundred.
Including the dozen or so standby teams urgently assembled by the Investigation Bureau, the total number of people is close to four hundred.
The middle-aged man looked at those who stayed behind, with no expression on his face, except for his clenched fists, which showed his inner restlessness. There seemed to be a glimmer in his tiger eyes.
He took a deep breath and slowed down his tone.
"Remember, your mission is to provide support! Not to die!"
"Whether you find the trapped team or not, if things become untenable, please retreat immediately!"
"Your lives are equally precious! The country does not need unnecessary sacrifices!"
He once again solemnly glanced at the crowd below, as if he had made a great decision.
"Students of the Martial Arts University, only children in the family, or families with children under the age of ten, please leave immediately!"
This time, the entire hall was silent.
None of the more than 200 volunteers who stayed behind, regardless of gender, age, height, weight or size, moved.
They just stood there quietly, their eyes either looking straight ahead or slightly lowered, like a silent forest.
Li Wei stood in the crowd, watching this scene, her eyes slightly moist and her heart quietly surging.
[Hiss, has my tear point gotten lower...?]
The gray-haired man's eyes also turned red.
He suddenly straightened his body, raised his right hand, and saluted all the volunteers in the audience with an extremely solemn and standard military salute!
......
"Everyone!"
"Distribute weapons, armor, and supplies immediately!"
"If you want to leave a message for your family, please find a staff member. Each person has one minute, so hurry up!"
The civilian staff who had been on standby immediately stepped forward and began to work intensively and orderly.
Li Wei followed the team and lined up silently to receive equipment, while licking her lips.
[I wonder how much essence I can get this time? ]
