The changes shown on the giant screen in the sky were quickly transmitted to the safe zone via live broadcast, and countless people in the command center anxiously awaited news from Zone One.
Yu Mingxi, along with the 11th Army, entered the 1st District at 6:00 AM this morning to provide support, and continued to send back messages normally until the 11th Army arrived.
Just now, Yu Mingxi's team completely lost track of the location system.
Ernst Levy, the commander-in-chief of the Lower Sixth District exploration and rescue operation, stood in front of the screen, his sharp, pale green eyes sweeping across the map, and said in a deep voice: "Every Child of Light is an important asset of the Federation."
"Yu Mingxi is an important figure who can be considered the leader. Before everything begins, I want to solemnly declare that regardless of whether Yu Mingxi's situation was a sudden accident or a premeditated scheme."
Ernst placed his hands on the table and leaned down slightly: "We must rescue her, no matter the consequences, we must find her alive or dead."
Grantham has been quite quiet lately. Several legion commanders who have just returned to the safe zone exchanged glances.
William Eric of the Third Army didn't look too good, but he hadn't been looking well lately for some well-known reasons, so no one paid much attention.
Even before Rossini Eric returned and took any action, William had already lost his composure. It wouldn't be surprising if they woke up one day to find that Eric's family had a new leader.
Everyone knows that Yu Mingxi went to District 1 because of her relationship with her lover, William Eric.
Having managed to persuade Yu Mingxi to personally intervene in the rescue, the Third Legion's reputation within the Federation has also grown considerably during this period.
But now...
"bump!"
To everyone's surprise, William Eric stood up, pressing down on the table, causing the chair behind him to tip over.
“Ernst! I request immediate access to District One and that the live broadcast be cut off before the truth comes out.”
He pointed fiercely at the screen, which showed Gu Li's cold face due to his rapid movement: "I told you long ago that the Eleventh Army is not to be trusted. They are no longer human! They might be behind this incident."
The Third Legion had just sent someone there when that person ran into trouble in District 1, and it was a major problem that could threaten the lives of countless people in District 6.
William cannot bear this responsibility, nor can his Third Army!
His first thought now is to suppress the news as soon as possible and quell the anomaly in District 1, and he is trying every means to make baseless accusations.
The more turbulent the waters, the safer their Third Army will be.
The conference room fell silent briefly because of William's voice. Ernst Levy slowly sat down under the gaze of those bloodshot eyes. His voice was as calm as ever, but it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over William's head.
“I understand your anxiety. In fact, as soon as the message was sent, Victor, who was on standby in the Upper Sixth District, had already rushed over and just sent me an important discovery.”
Ernst Levy's sharp gaze swept over the alien's flickering expression as he reprojected the images onto the screen.
William said somewhat reluctantly, "Is there anything more important than confirming Yu Mingxi's safety?!"
His gaze suddenly froze on the screen as if he'd seen a ghost, and he instinctively gasped, his slightly agape mouth agape: "What the hell is this?!"
Every photograph was filled with bloodshed and scenes of flesh and blood flying everywhere, making even those who had been on the battlefield look solemn.
The reason is simple: all of these photos were taken indoors, and judging from the traces at the scene, the time periods varied.
The longest ones have probably been several months old, while the shortest ones still have very fresh bloodstains!
"This means that the pollution concentration in the six lower districts had already started to rise several months ago, but we did not receive any information about it."
Ernst's expression was very serious.
William suddenly snorted coldly, his fingers unconsciously resting on his waist: "This only shows that the management of the Lower Sixth District is getting worse and worse. They're all just lowlifes who can't be brought to the table..."
“William!”
The Sixth Legion Commander, who was sitting next to him, interrupted him, and he belatedly realized his lapse in composure. Looking down on the residents of the Exile was one thing, but bringing it up in public was another.
William Eric fell into a stiff silence.
Ernst Levy glanced at him dismissively and continued, “Victor’s people have discovered the common thread in these contamination incidents.”
The next moment, a pattern that had been cleaned out of the bloodstains appeared before everyone's eyes.
"...Sacrifice!?"
Someone was momentarily stunned and murmured in surprise.
With this thing, it's no surprise that there's more to the story behind the rapid fall of the Lower Sixth District.
But for many, another name came to mind—the Mysterious Church.
In recent years, the mysterious cult has become increasingly arrogant, even to the point of openly recruiting believers. The recent drug incident at the Federal University has caused undercurrents to surge throughout the safe zone.
The military and parliamentary leaders had already quietly investigated and marked those who posed a danger.
Those who took the potion were too busy to deal with the mysterious church, and by the time they could spare the time to confront it, the church had already vanished.
Most people guessed that the mysterious church would keep a low profile for a while, but no one expected them to reappear so soon!
William Eric's face darkened as he seemed to be thinking of something, and his fingers clenched so tightly under the table that they cracked.
Ernst spoke up: "Compared to Grantham's extraordinary methods when the Lower Sixth District fell, I am more inclined to believe that there was an inside agent in the Lower Sixth District, and that a large-scale contamination incident was launched that encompassed the Lower Sixth District."
