Chapter 245
The school’s fame, regional ranking, and the difference in points.
These things that people value in normal times become unnecessary "external things" in special times.
Only safety and survival are the most important "inner things" at the moment.
Jiang Yunu's comfort can only boost the team by 50%, but the action plan given by Jiang Yunu can obtain 100% coordination from the team.
On the way to the venue, Jiang Yunu tried to contact Shen Yijing for the second time, but still no one answered. But just as she was about to cancel the communication screen and concentrate on the surrounding environment to explore the way for everyone, her personal terminal received a communication request - the caller was not Shen Yijing.
The one who contacted Jiang Yunu was the captain of Di Yao.
"Jiang Yunu." The captain of Diyao called her by her full name and said solemnly, "I saw you leaving Building B with a group of people."
Jiang Yunu said, "Yes."
She paused slightly and turned to look at Apartment Building A, where the outline of the building was still visible.
Building A was just as calm as she had seen through the window of Building B. Perhaps she could hear that Captain Di Yao, who was communicating, had a somewhat tense voice and was clearly in a state of alert.
Jiang Yunu didn't wait for Captain Diyao to figure out a wording that would be "in accordance with Upper Three District etiquette." She quickly and concisely said, "It's unsafe to stay inside the apartment. Building B has been invaded by mutants, and some of them are suspected of using the elevator. We're heading to the training hall now."
Through previous contacts and competitions, Jiang Yunu knew that Captain Di Yao was a person who valued the interests of the team and was very moral. Her magnetic field was quite compatible with that of the other party. In the "Eye of the Desert" map, the other party quickly believed her discovery of the underground area.
For reliable temporary teammates who have worked together once on the field, Jiang Yunu is willing to share important information immediately and even seek their help.
"You can see us, which means you're still high up—are you still in Building A?" she said. "We'll slow down and move forward if you like. You can come and join us."
She didn't directly ask them to wait there, but instead asked them to slow down and give the other party more room to think.
Captain Di Yao was silent for only a few seconds.
"Do you have a clear next destination?" Although Captain Di Yao asked a question, his tone seemed to be certain that Jiang Yunu had already made a plan, and it sounded like he wanted to evaluate Jiang Yunu's ideas.
Jiang Yunu said: "Training hall."
A captain who takes the team into consideration also has clear thinking in the overall situation. Jiang Yunu only mentioned the place name, and Captain Di Yao quickly understood the advantages of the training hall as a new base.
"Alright." Captain Diyao made a quick decision, "You guys go forward, we'll catch up right away."
She also didn't mention asking Jiang Yunu to lead the team to wait for Di Yao's people.
Jiang Yunu originally wanted to ask Captain Di Yao if he knew the situation of the neighbors in the same building. However, Captain Di Yao was obviously eager to take care of the safety of the school team and his execution speed was top-notch. Once he confirmed the action with Jiang Yunu, he turned around and hung up the phone, and probably started to lead the team into action.
"..." Jiang Yunu was silent for a second as the screen that had popped back to the contact list also disappeared.
She continued to advance with the combined "Golden-Romphi" team.
As a support worker, Pei Ya's physical fitness was clearly limited in this type of group movement. She would unconsciously slow down when moving even slightly longer distances. Jiang Yunu extended an arm, allowing Pei Ya to "hang" on her when there were no mutant threats. She would guide the other person's movements, saving a significant amount of effort.
Pei Ya is the "little pendant" of the mighty and powerful team leader Jiang, and she is also a little pendant who understands the team leader's thoughts very well.
Pei Ya suddenly asked quietly, "Do you want to ask about the situation in other schools in Building A?"
Jiang Yunu did not deny that she had missed two calls to Shen Yijing before and did not deliberately avoid people.
"Yeah," she said. "Building A looks so quiet, but someone's phone isn't working, and the people living in the other buildings don't seem to be moving either."
When Jiang Yunu and his companions left Building B, not only had the Naiza Academy living on the bottom floors already left, but the whereabouts of the Star Hunter Academy living higher up on the Golden Uriel were also unknown.
So far, Building A has only received clear feedback from Diyao College.
When you are responsible for the lives of others or even many people, you can no longer explore and adventure without any scruples, and you can no longer dig whatever you want.
Jiang Yunu needs to take the well-being of all her companions into consideration. She cares about the Star Hunting Academy and all the students and contestants in Building A except Di Yao. She wants to know where everyone else is, and also where those who don't answer her calls are. However, all these desires to explore and curiosity are temporarily suppressed by responsibility.
Diyao College was worthy of being the leader in collective marching among the eight school teams. They caught up with Jiang Yunu and the others in almost no time.
Captain Di Yao walked past the two regular captains, Huang Jin Uriel and Romfei, and shook hands directly with Jiang Yunu, which represented that Di Yao Academy officially joined this mixed-school team, and also meant that they were no longer a "short-term temporary ally within the game", but a solid ally who needed to trust each other and rely on each other for survival.
"I trust you." Lulumarin, the captain of Diyao, said to Jiang Yunu seriously.
Jiang Yunu didn't say anything nice like "I will definitely live up to your trust". In such occasions, doing practical things is more important than talking nice words.
She said, "Let's go occupy the training hall."
Anyone who pays attention can notice that the white-haired girl has changed her wording - she said "occupy".
With the addition of the Diyao School Team, a strong team that is good at team battles, no matter what the current situation in the training hall is, they have more determination and confidence to win it.
On the way to the training hall, everyone encountered two mutants.
The first mutant was wearing a white coat, and it was obvious that he was from the medical center; the second mutant was wearing a work uniform that had been punctured by mutant limbs - he looked like a resident engineer in the camp.
"Did anyone see the nameplate code on his work clothes?" asked Little Ye Li of Golden Uriel.
"The nameplate was pierced by a bone spur that pushed out of his ribs." Captain Zoe replied.
Without being able to see the nameplate clearly, it is impossible to determine which area the engineer is from, and it is impossible to immediately know which part of the camp has fallen.
"Strip him of his clothes." Jiang Yunu said quickly, "He must have other clues that can prove his identity."
Such a brilliant idea didn't get an immediate response.
Everyone seemed to be silent for a moment.
Jiang Yunu couldn't pay attention to the atmosphere while busying herself. She saw Zoe still tying up the mutant with supernatural chains, and Song Yang was also using his physical advantage to suppress the mutant whose movements were restricted. There was also a special equipment technical support from Di Yao in front, blocking the mutant's potential escape direction.
She quickly tore off the alien's torn clothes.
They had not yet completely entered the safe zone and had no time to carefully check the confiscated "equipment". Jiang Yunu rolled up the shirts, pants and vests she had looted and threw them into a large bag at hand. Then she noticed the silence around her.
"What's wrong?" the white-haired girl asked curiously.
Sorok was the first to come to his senses. He said, "Nothing—how do we deal with this mutant?"
Jiang Yunu said: "Let him lose his ability to move, and then we will move on."
Since Jiang Yunu had explored the entire living area with Pei Ya before, she knew which fork of the main road to turn into to reach the training hall in a shorter distance.
The training hall was just as she thought, a very solid and safe fortress.
There was an alien wandering around in the training hall. It seemed that he was already in the hall, but somehow he was also caught up in the alienation wave.
After controlling the mutant, everyone split up to check other areas and reconfirm the safety of the entire space.
Afterwards, the joint team sent enough players to defend the entrances and exits, while the others gathered in the lobby of the training hall.
Some people immediately sat down cross-legged to rest, no longer caring about the "style of the first district"; some people put down their backpacks, took out supplies, and began to quickly replenish themselves with calories and water; some people were sharp-eyed and noticed the multiple self-service vending machines in the training hall, and immediately pulled their friends over to check the supplies in the vending machines.
Jiang Yunu, Sorok, Zoe, and Lulumarin gathered separately on the side. Some sat, some stood, and some found something to lean on. They sat in a circle and discussed business.
"The situation isn't that tense right now," Jiang Yunu said. "Shall we exchange more detailed information?"
Lulumarin nodded and said frankly: "I know you have a lot of questions to ask me, and I also have a lot of questions to ask you."
Captain Di Yao wanted to know the details of the "apartment invasion" that Jiang Yunuo mentioned before, and whether Jiang Yunuo and his team had seen other mutant activities before.
Jiang Yunu had a lot to ask, such as whether the Diyao school team had also received Chen Yijing's warning, and whether Diyao had noticed what the "neighbors" were doing when the wave of mutants suddenly broke out, where were the people from Duma College, and where were the people from Kant College and Michelle College who were in the same building as them.
"I have to tell you first, I don't know where the Duma people are either," Lulumarin said. "I did receive a warning from Captain Shen, but when I received the warning, I thought something was amiss and wanted to take the elevator to the Duma Academy floor to ask someone in person. But when I arrived at their floor, I found that none of the Duma staff were in the apartment."
When Chen Yijing issued a warning to Diyao College, the floors of Duma College were already empty.
All the Duma players are out.
Where had they gone? Shen Yijing had just told the others to stay in the apartment and keep an eye on the situation, only to have his entire team evacuate?
"Also," Lulumarin added, "I felt something was amiss. I used my captain's authority to freely go up and down the apartment building, and I discovered that the people from Michelle Academy who lived downstairs were also missing."
