Chapter 243
Of course, the league cannot continue. Not to mention whether the game points system can still operate, even whether the security system in the camp is still functioning properly is a huge question mark.
Jiang Yunu suddenly realized the problem about half an hour after their team withdrew from the medical center.
"Wait a minute," she said.
Captain Romfei next to him and his own captain subconsciously slowed down their pace.
"I didn't tell you to wait a moment." Realizing his words might be misinterpreted at this moment, Jiang Yunu quickly corrected himself. "Everyone, keep moving. Let's continue rushing back to the apartment building. I said 'wait a moment' because I remembered something important. It's a meaningless verbal habit."
Song Yang was a little impressed by Jiang Yunu, who had a big fight with the mutant medical staff in the medical center and ran at least 800 meters out of the medical center, but his breathing was still so stable and he could say so many words in one breath.
"You...you..." Song Yang said intermittently, "What...did you remember?"
Song Yang is considered a physical monster among his classmates and is famous for his physical skills, but the battle just now in the medical center seemed to have exhausted him too much.
Because he was the tallest and biggest, he was the most obvious "target", so he served as a "mobile T" for the others in the team for a while - attracting the attention of most of the medical staff and giving others space to move and attack.
Because Jin Qing's perception was always kept at the maximum range, she did not dare to relax at all and did not dare to spare any energy to speak.
"Just now at the medical center, were we able to use our superpowers?" Jiang Yunu said quickly and clearly, "But according to the camp management regulations, superpowers should be banned throughout this area, right?"
You are right.
On the first day at the league camp, when the players' meeting was held in the assembly center, the representative of the competition committee specifically mentioned: In order to ensure absolute safety in the living area and to strengthen the management of the players, almost all areas in the central platform building area are equipped with power restriction barriers, energy detectors, power control gates and other devices.
These devices minimized the possibility of supernatural battles within the living area. Players who wished to practice supernatural abilities within the building area had to make reservations at the training hall and go to a practice room within the partially open facility.
Once outside the practice room, the restrictions will be restored and students will never be able to use their abilities in other areas.
But...just now, in the medical center, didn't they call upon their superpowers easily?
Romfield Captain Zoe reacted the fastest. He glanced down at his hand as he continued toward the apartment. He was the first person in the medical center to use his powers without hesitation. Noticing something strange about the medical staff facing him, the instinct for self-preservation caused his hand to glow with his powers, and he threw himself into battle.
It was not until Jiang Yunu mentioned this matter that Zoe realized that he had used his superpowers in the "superpower prohibited area".
"Is it because of an emergency in the camp that the restrictions have been lifted?" Sorok said, subconsciously raising his hand again.
It seems that he is preparing to draw supernatural powers from the energy core.
However, Captain Suo soon looked at his empty palm with a puzzled look.
Zoe said, "It seems our powers are being suppressed again."
Song Yang also made a similar gesture, and then he looked at Senior Jin Qing.
Jin Qing carefully felt her senses and said, "My perception ability can still be detected, but my combat ability cannot be activated."
Jiang Yunu quickly came to a conclusion.
"Because of the mutant medical staff at the medical center, the regional ability restriction devices may have been destroyed." Jiang Yunu said, "But the devices in the area we are currently in are still functioning. If necessary, we may need to find where these devices are and destroy them."
"Why do we want to destroy the device?" Song Yang asked in surprise.
It was Zoe who answered him.
"Because those who have been transformed can move freely within the area." Captain Romfey said sternly, "However, as long as the restriction device is still in operation, we cannot freely deal with the mutants in each area."
Sorok was still a little naive. He remembered the instructions that Shen Yijing had sent to Jiang Yunu before, and still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He thought: as long as the apartment building is safe and not invaded by aliens, then as long as everyone stays on their respective apartment floors and guards the elevator entrance, they can stay safely for a while.
As long as they can stay safely and guard the apartment, sooner or later someone outside will discover something unusual happening in the camp, and then the three major associations will send a special superpower team to rescue them.
Captain Suo's thoughts were beautiful, but the reality was not good.
After they returned to the apartment building, the fragile peace in Apartment B lasted only about an hour.
The screams and floor shaking came from the first and second floors of Building B.
Because there were several layers in between, the people of Golden Uriel didn't hear the noise at first.
It was Zoe who sent the warning.
Romfei's floor was below Golden Uriel's, and they were closer to the bottom, so they could clearly perceive the commotion on the floor below.
Sorok asked, "What happened downstairs?"
All the members of the Romfield school team had followed their captain to the Golden Uriel floor and occupied a space in the common living room like a brood of uninvited chicks, whispering to each other in a state of panic.
Zoe said over the noise, "The contestants from the school downstairs didn't guard the door, and some mutants got into the apartment."
The restrictions on superpowers within the apartment building have not yet been lifted, and students accustomed to superpower combat must rely entirely on their physical combat abilities to fight, compete, and escape from the mutants. This unprecedented form of combat is very uncomfortable and can easily bring on feelings of panic and anxiety.
Once a psychic who is used to fighting with superpowers disables his superpowers, it is like a person who has been walking healthily but suddenly loses a vital part of his limbs.
"Do you think it would be safer to go upstairs? If we all gather together, it will be easier to gather strength and take care of each other?" Jiang Yunu walked over from the direction of the public kitchen, holding two disposable cups in his hands, which contained hot drinks freshly dispensed from the beverage machine.
Following behind were Pei Ya, Ao Liang, Ulaina and Xiao Yeli, all holding cups.
They distributed hot drinks to the students of Romfei. The drinks were hot cocoa, which can help people quickly stabilize their emotions and provide a certain amount of body heat.
Zoe looked at Jiang Yunu: "What do you think is wrong with my idea?"
This was a question without any "interrogation" nature. When Zoe heard Jiang Yunu talking to him like that, she knew that there must be some aspects of her ideas that the other party disagreed with.
Jiang Yunu waited until the Romfei student closest to her finished his drink before she sighed.
"The bottom of this apartment building is a mezzanine floor, and the first floor is the public area," she said. "This means that the players' accommodation actually starts from the second floor. To enter the accommodation area, you need to take the elevator. Another way to enter is to fly in through the window."
“…”
The environment that was a bit noisy and bustling before suddenly became quiet.
Player Romfei, who was closest to Jiang Yunuo, opened his eyes wide and stared at Jiang Yunuo blankly along with his equally stunned companions.
Not far away, Zoe was stunned at first, and then, like everyone else who reacted, he showed an indescribable expression that was tense, alert, and subtly disgusting.
"Damn it," O'Brien was the first to say. "Aliens take elevators too."
"And you can't guarantee that none of them have transformed into wind elemental beasts." Ulaina said with a green face as if she had a sudden stomachache.
Pei Ya usually didn't participate in these kinds of battle discussions, being very aware that she was merely a support staff member. But now, despite her usually low profile, she spoke up. She stood beside Jiang Yunu and said, "If we keep going up and eventually reach the top floor, and the mutants catch up again, we might have nowhere to retreat."
The mutants who have transformed into wind elemental beasts can fly, but ordinary students cannot fly, not to mention that the restrictions on superpowers in the apartment area have not been lifted yet.
Once forced to the top floor, everyone will become very passive and it will be difficult to return to the ground.
"We need to find a safe base." Jiang Yunu said, "It's not safe to hide here for a long time."
It is strange that in this environment filled with high alert and tension, everyone will unconsciously obey Jiang Yunu.
Sorok and Zoe had previously had the vague intention of following Jiang Yunu's opinion. Now, in front of all the members of the two school teams, they were the captains, but they still first advocated Jiang Yunu's opinion.
"Xiao Jiang's words make sense." Sorok's frown relaxed. He quickly glanced at his team members and then looked around the apartment building of Golden Uriel. It was obvious that he had already begun to plan for evacuation.
"But where else can we go?" Zoe asked. His brows were still furrowed, and he noticed that the team members, who had just calmed down, became panicked again.
Romfei's captain comforted his team members in time and assured them that Golden Uriel was a reliable ally and they would definitely retreat safely together.
"I have an idea," Jiang Yunu said. "We should pack up everything we can take away now. Those who are physically and mentally exhausted will not be allowed to help with the packing. They can stay in the sofa lounge area to rest. We'll also send two people from each school to form two teams, one by the elevator and the other by the window. This will allow us to observe the elevator and the outside environment immediately and provide timely warnings to everyone."
"Then?" Jin Qing asked.
"Then, before the situation gets worse and the mutants enter the apartment building in large numbers, we'll retreat to the training hall."
When considering a safer and more heavily defended "safe base", Jiang Yunu first thought of the training hall in the building area.
As a place where the use of superpowers can be partially opened or restricted, the training hall has a very tight superpower barrier device, which means that it can not only withstand the release of superpowers within the area, but also withstand superpower attacks from the outside.
In the training hall, even if all the practice rooms are full and there are people releasing their supernatural powers simultaneously in all the spaces available for practicing supernatural skills, the structure can still be maintained stable and the dome and the ground will not collapse. This makes it a safe base and also has sustainable use of space.
"It can withstand attacks and internal combat, maintain its shape and not collapse into a dangerous building, and it has a large space capacity. The entrance and exit are in the same location, making it easy to defend." Jiang Yunu said, "I can't think of a better place in the camp than this."
