Chapter 244
Everyone had no objection and quickly began to act according to the arrangements Jiang Yunu had made earlier.
Pack up all the supplies that are easy to take away, especially survival supplies, and bring personal living supplies as appropriate, making sure that everything can be carried in one bag.
Those who had previously consumed a lot of mental and physical energy, such as Song Yang, Jin Qing who had been highly nervous and had her sensory skills fully activated all the way back to the apartment from the medical center, and several members of the Romfei school team who were seriously frightened, all stayed obediently in the sofa leisure area, conserving their energy and recovering every minute.
Someone subconsciously wanted to be polite, so they stood up briefly on the sofa and tentatively said, "I'll help clean up too..."
As a result, he was immediately held down by three or four hands that reached out from the side.
"Sit down, we'll do it. Save your energy for when you need it later."
"It's still quite a distance from the apartment building to the training hall."
All conversations were brief, and everyone moved as quickly as possible.
But perhaps it was because they had a clear goal, friends and allies, and could receive generous kindness and comfort in tense moments, so in this busy but not chaotic environment, the spirits of several extremely nervous people gradually relaxed.
Someone in the sofa leisure area was secretly watching Jiang Yunu.
The white-haired girl was certainly not idle. She wasn't just standing there directing everyone verbally; she personally participated in carrying out the instructions. Her movements were incredibly agile, like a bolt of human lightning flashing across the spacious floor, now striking across the room, now across the living room, then suddenly "swooshing" to the person in need. After helping them, she was gone like the wind, "whoosh" disappearing, presumably to move on to the next task.
A person who has clear goals, strong execution ability, can quickly come up with action plans, and has recently demonstrated extraordinary strength will attract attention and subconsciously convince people in any occasion.
It didn't take long before everything in the two-story building belonging to Golden Uriel was packed up.
Jiang Yunu nodded to all the students who came to explain and report the situation to her. It was like she had been temporarily promoted to a teaching staff position, and she checked one by one to see if everyone had cleaned up properly.
Then she said, "We are going downstairs now, to Romphi's floor, and pack up Romphi's things according to the same standards."
While the floors of Golden Uriel were being taken away, the defense monitoring team guarding the elevators and windows did not find anything unusual.
Jin Qing couldn't sit still after all. While everyone was cleaning up, she stood up and walked to the elevator guard team. She followed the elevator shaft and released a small amount of perception ability to the area 8 meters below.
"There's nothing unusual on Romfell's floor right now." Jin Qing didn't wait for anyone to criticize her for not getting enough rest before she spoke up. "I'm not sure what's happening on the floors below Romfell. I've been saving my energy and haven't explored further down. I don't know what's happening further down. I'll have to go down and explore again using the same method to find out."
Romfei's team members followed Zoe up and went downstairs with the Golden Allies.
Their floor had indeed not been invaded by the mutants yet.
But once we got downstairs, the atmosphere became noticeably tense again.
"It's very noisy downstairs." Jin Qing closed her eyes for a while, stretched out her hand towards the elevator shaft, opened her eyes again, and said this in a serious tone.
After she arrived at Romfei's floor, she used a small amount of her supernatural power to probe downwards again and found that about 6 meters below, the energy field was extremely chaotic, like a messy net.
This indicates that there are traces of fighting underneath.
Both teams were silent for a moment at this discovery, and the Romfey team members looked at their captain.
The captain was looking at Jiang Yunu.
"Pack up first." Jiang Yunu said, "Don't forget the primary task. All supplies are necessary for survival. Staying alive is as important as fighting."
Not to mention, judging from their path of action, they would always continue to go downstairs.
There was chaos downstairs, but the people downstairs had not yet panicked and rushed to the upper floors. This meant that either they could still handle the battle, or they had chosen to evacuate and did not want to stay in the apartment building.
So no one objected, and everyone repeated the action on the Golden Uriel floor upstairs.
And because we already had experience, this time the cleaning was more efficient.
Romfei's people also took their things, and those who had been busy upstairs took the opportunity to change shifts and rest for a while, and then the two schools regrouped.
They will go downstairs again.
Before going downstairs, Jiang Yunu walked to the window and looked outside.
"What are you looking at?" asked O'Brien.
Jiang Yunu said, "Building A."
They are in Apartment Building B. The accommodation area at the bottom of Building B has been invaded by the aliens, which means that the aliens' movements have spread to the apartment area.
But Building A opposite seemed calm.
There were no signs of fighting at the bottom of Building A, and no one was visible in the elevated lobby on the first floor.
——But Jiang Yunu sent a communication to Shen Yijing 20 minutes ago when the Golden Uriel was busy collecting gongs and drums.
——No one answered.
The interactive signal with the outside world contacting the camp was blocked by some device.
But within the camp, the regional communication signal is still smooth.
Shen Yijing did not answer the call. Without considering the low-probability event that the personal terminal was violently removed from Captain Shen's hands by external forces, there could only be one reason: Shen Yijing had no time to answer the call.
What kind of situation would make Shen Yijing too busy to answer the phone? Jiang Yunu was not sure of the answer, but she was sure that the situation in Building A was definitely not as calm as it seemed.
When the "Gold-Romfei" joint team left Romfei's floor and continued to descend, they could have let the elevator go smoothly all the way to the first floor and go directly to the first floor lobby, but driven by some complicated emotions and sense of responsibility, they chose to stay in the apartment building below first.
Everyone watched as Jiang Yunu pressed the floor button belonging to Naiza Academy.
Like Romfey, Naiza was from a high-level supernatural school in the third district. Their presence throughout the league had been minimal. In previous years, Naiza and Golden Uriel were both considered bottom-tier players. From their schools to their team members, they were relatively invisible in the upper third district, lacking deep connections with other schools in the league.
The "little transparent" school encountered the most opaque raid.
The elevator door opened at the floor of Naiza College. The gap in the metal door gradually widened, and the ground near the elevator entrance was a mess.
A strong wind blew into the elevator, bringing with it the coolness and strength of a draft - meaning that the window glass on the floor of Naiza College had been broken.
The wind in the area forms convection as the elevator door opens.
"...Is anyone else here?" one of Romfei's players whispered.
The wind howled inside the floors of Naiza Academy, stirring up the debris on the ground and making a rustling sound.
A creature made two "whooshing" sounds.
A black shadow suddenly jumped out from the corner of the corridor, its limbs twisted at inhuman angles, and it rushed towards the elevator in a strange posture!
"There's something else out there that isn't human." Jiang Yunu's voice was clear and calm. She was standing at the elevator entrance, holding the door open. She hadn't let anyone out from the elevator from beginning to end. She was the only one standing outside.
Jiang Yunu's reaction was incredibly quick. Without a second thought, she grabbed the nearest long object on the ground and thrust it forward, tip first, sweeping it diagonally across the unknown creature's body. The dull thud of blunt force hitting flesh filled the air. Then, while the creature's movement was being slowed by the blunt force, Jiang Yunu grasped the long object with both hands. She pushed her arms downward, her joints flexing—a gesture like a javelin throw.
She threw the long object and it hit the target accurately.
This time it was no longer a blunt blow, but it directly penetrated the side of the mutant's body.
"Let's go." Jiang Yunu said.
She stepped back into the elevator. Zoe's hand was already hovering over the door-close button, and she quickly pressed it.
They were grateful that the elevator in the camp was of very good quality. It was still running stably in such a situation and took them all to the public area on the first floor.
"The people of Naiza, they all..." someone began hesitantly, but stopped talking halfway, fearing that he had said something ominous like a curse.
——Did anything happen to them?
Everyone present understood what this person wanted to ask.
"Not necessarily." Jiang Yunu spoke in a soothing tone, but she was not entirely comforting him out of thin air. Her eyes swept across the floor of the public area on the first floor.
"Look over there." She raised her hand and pointed in a direction. "There are drag marks here, but the shape is very strange, like the tail of some creature. There are also footprints next to them that are obviously wider than those of humans."
These are most likely traces left by alienated people.
This also means that the aliens may have invaded the apartment building by taking the elevator.
"The windows on the Naiza Academy floor were broken. It's not necessarily because they were attacked. It's possible they discovered the elevator was blocked by mutants, so they broke the windows and tried to escape through them."
Romfei's men also used the elevator, and the combined team of Golden Uriel and Romfei had been using the elevator as they came down from upstairs.
Each apartment building in the camp is home to team members from four schools, and there is naturally more than one elevator inside the apartment.
Each building has three elevators, which are concentrated in the same elevator room. Not long ago, Jiang Yunu asked someone to guard the elevator entrance, or to be more precise, to guard the elevator room.
"I'm feeling a bit under the weather right now," O'Brien said. "Did any of us notice that there were other elevators running while we were going up and down to pack our things?"
The answer is no one noticed.
But if there were other elevators running quietly at that time, it meant... it wasn't necessarily the students on other floors who were using the elevator.
"...I'm starting to feel uncomfortable too." Ulaina made a "tsk" sound.
Jiang Yunu felt Pei Ya quietly moving towards him.
She held Pei Ya's hand and said, "There are traces of superpowers and mutants on the Nezha floor, but no Nezha students have been seen. Let's try to be positive and think they may have escaped the building beforehand."
Some people nodded at Jiang Yunu's words, while others still looked worried.
Jiang Yunu changed the subject and told everyone their next move: "Now let's go to the training hall. On the way there, if we meet students from other schools, we can invite them to join us."
