Professor Hua's special ability is storage, but this ability is greatly limited by the environment. He can manipulate some memory cards, but ten years ago, USB flash drives were the most common on the market.
This is also a strong argument among those in the department who support the theory of genetic evolution.
If technology were so backward that there were no electronic devices, Professor Hua would only be able to store information on blank paper. But when high-tech storage devices were invented, his special ability could be quickly combined with the devices.
Professor Hua felt somewhat uneasy.
Before Ye Chenxi and the others left, he secretly slipped a USB drive into Ye Chenxi's hand, wrapped it in paper, and Ye Chenxi hid it in a pocket inside her combat uniform.
Professor Hua could send information to the USB drive he had labeled, but the recipient would need a device that could read the USB drive to view the information. Since Ye Chenxi and the others had the device, Professor Hua didn't think much of it.
However, without thinking too much, something bad happened.
On May 12, 2008, a devastating earthquake struck Sichuan, shocking the world.
At that moment, news came from the special forces that they had successfully located the trail of the Mingwang people. In the ensuing chaos, the Mingwang were no match for them and fled, and they happened to end up in Shu!
The earth shook violently, and all signal sources were cut off. The combat team lost all information in the blink of an eye.
Professor Hua's USB drive was maliciously smashed the moment the incident occurred.
Meanwhile, the life-giving flames left behind by the combat team members at the Special Forces headquarters were extinguished in large numbers in the blink of an eye!
That's a member's special ability; they can leave behind someone's life force. As long as the flame doesn't go out, that person hasn't died.
The flame going out signifies the soul scattering and the spirit dissipating.
Special forces member, dead.
Abacus, dead.
Flying kick, death.
Four-Eyes, die.
One by one, the flames of life were extinguished, like cruel needles piercing the bubbles of hope one by one. With each lamp that went out, the atmosphere in the special department became more oppressive, the air became deathly still, salty like the bottom of the deep sea, and the pain was unbearable.
These are all talents they have carefully cultivated!
I was talking and chatting with them just a few days ago; their voices and smiles seem like they were just yesterday. How could they... how could they just be gone?!
All the members had bloodshot eyes, tears streaming silently as they stared intently at the last flame.
Ye Chenxi's fire.
The once brilliant and dazzling golden light, the size of a fist, was now only the size of a grain of millet, barely clinging to life, as if even the slightest breeze could extinguish it.
"Who? Who killed them! Who?!"
"Revenge! We must avenge everyone!"
The only sound in the department was suppressed crying. The minister was furious and was about to take his men to find Ye Chenxi when an urgent order came from above.
"All personnel, mobilize immediately and head to Sichuan for disaster relief!"
Is Ye Chenxi's life more important, or the lives of all the people in Shu?
Without a doubt.
“…If Shen Xi were here, she would definitely want everyone to go and save people first,” Professor Hua said in a hoarse voice, as if his voice was being squeezed out of his parched throat. He was as thin as a rake, his eyes were bloodshot and terrifying, and he spat out each word, “Execute the order!”
"……yes!"
Almost the entire Special Forces were mobilized to provide disaster relief in Sichuan, while a few people remained behind to coordinate the overall situation, and others were tasked with keeping a close eye on Ye Chenxi's lifeline.
However, in that moment of carelessness, the room storing the flame of life exploded. When everyone hurriedly extinguished the fire, they discovered that all the lamps had been shattered.
It doesn't matter about others; we can just light a fire when we get back.
But Ye Chenxi could never come back.
His life was never rekindled.
The dragon they were waiting for.
They vanished without a trace.
He never saw anyone.
His body was never found.
