Chen Zhuoqu stood beneath the neon lights, waiting for her team mbers to quickly assemble.
Qing Chen and Kunlun's seven days of hard work had not been in vain; no one had taken this matter lightly.
In the Ti Traveler Academy, so many people had given them encouragent and support; if anyone still didn't take this seriously, then they were truly foolish.
However, just as Chen Zhuoqu was waiting, the lights of the entire city went out.
Explosions could be heard in the distance—the sound of soone destroying the power plants.
Her expression turned grave. Everything happening before her was confirming the little headmaster's prediction.
But the power outage was too sudden, not even giving them enough ti to assemble completely.
Chen Zhuoqu observed quietly. She was surprised to find that the city had not fallen into chaos due to the power outage. The pedestrians on the road rely muttered a few curses, guessing that perhaps a transforr had exploded sowhere.
The citizens of the Federation had enjoyed peace for too long. Even the small-scale wars between conglorates had never affected the city's interior.
Therefore, the citizens' reaction was slow.
Soon, her deputy captain and team mbers gathered. Chen Zhuoqu solemnly said, “Starting now, gather supplies. Our mission is to procure dicine.”
After speaking, Chen Zhuoqu recorded a ssage on her phone, then played it on maximum volu in a loop: “City 10 is about to experience a disaster. Shendai Consortium's missiles have locked onto this location, and the power plants have been destroyed by the Shendai Consortium. Everyone, please evacuate to the outskirts of the city or District 3 as quickly as possible!”
She didn't ntion the Biological Contamination because it had been too long since the Federation had experienced such an event. The residents here wouldn't understand what Biological Contamination ant.
It was better to use more direct ans to frighten the passersby, causing them to panic and flee imdiately, rather than wasting ti explaining.
At this ti, a Ti Traveler said, “The power is out now. The pharmacies won't be able to process paynts, so they won't sell the dicine to us.”
“Then we'll take it. Rember not to hurt anyone; we'll only take the antibiotics and leave,” Chen Zhuoqu resolutely said.
“Take it?! That's not good. We're good people; how can we do such a thing?!” a Ti Traveler said.
Chen Zhuoqu hesitated, then beca resolute again: “If anyone asks, tell them I ordered it. I'm the captain; I'll take responsibility. Rember, be sure to tell the shop owner that a disaster is coming; this is the only thing we can do.”
Although robbing a pharmacy was wrong, Chen Zhuoqu didn't want to waste any more ti making other choices.
Speaking, she grabbed a trash can from the roadside and smashed it against the glass window of a nearby pharmacy, leading the charge inside.
The shop assistant was terrified; the phone hanging around Chen Zhuoqu's chest continued to play the voice ssage on a loop.
At this ti, the passersby stared at them in shock. No one knew what had happened, and no one took Chen Zhuoqu's warning to heart.
They only thought that soone was taking advantage of the power outage to rob them.
However, this was District 3; robbery would be severely punished by the PCE Security Committee. Many passersby stood there waiting for the PCE to arrive.
A Ti Traveler shouted at the people who had stopped: “Run! Go to District 3 or the immigration checkpoint! Don't wait here!”
But the people remained unmoved. Seeing that they hadn't produced any weapons, they gathered around, whispering among themselves.
However, the PCE investigators didn't arrive on ti; no one knew what had happened.
At this ti, over forty people looted the antibiotics from the pharmacy. A team mber said, “Let's go. We've completed the little headmaster's task. Let's go to the immigration checkpoint.”
Chen Zhuoqu firmly shook her head: “Not there. We're heading straight to District 3! Initiate Plan B!”
The Ti Travelers were stunned. They didn't know that Qing Chen had spent two days arranging Plan A and Plan B. Then, in the remaining five days, the headmaster of the Agricultural Academy had been racking his brains, thinking about all the loopholes.
One of the loopholes was raised by Chen Zhuoqu: “What if they act faster than we do, giving us no ti to react, and they start acting directly after we ti travel?”
At that ti, Qing Chen asked her, “Why would Shendai do this?”
Chen Zhuoqu's answer was: “If Shendai Qianchi knows that Boss you are in City 10? You've already ruined countless of their plans. If they know you're there, any extre actions would be reasonable. At the very least, if I knew that you, this variable, had returned to City 10, I would certainly crush all your struggles in the cradle, and I would certainly kill you, the one who trampled the dignity of Shendai underfoot, in this city. Perhaps, they are waiting for your return, and then your ti travel, using their well-prepared plan to shatter your information-disadvantaged plan.”
Qing Chen was silent for a long ti, so there was an additional condition to Plan B: “All team captains and deputy captains, attention! If the city loses power, it ans Shendai Qianchi is fully prepared, and the immigration checkpoint will certainly be sealed off. All teams must imdiately change course and head to District 3! Chen Zhuoqu, extra 0 points.”
The battle plan was a variable; it would constantly change due to various erging factors.
What Qing Chen had to do in the remaining five days was to consider as many variables as possible.
At this ti, gathering the elites from the Ti Traveler Academy and brainstorming was his best choice.
One by one, the Ti Traveler teams had all replaced Plan A with Plan B.
In the city, 99% of the vehicles were new energy vehicles that relied on the Cloud Flow Tower for power. At this ti, the city's traffic had completely paralyzed. After getting out of their cars, people stood beside their cars, cursing and complaining.
The Ti Travelers weaved through the traffic, constantly reminding people that City 10 had been attacked by the Shendai Consortium.
Even if no one believed them.
However, before they had gone far, they discovered that rats had already appeared on the streets.
The Rat Tide had taken to the streets.
Chen Zhuoqu looked at the team mbers behind her and coldly said, “Anyone who hasn't eaten an Eternal Heaven Fruit, give your backpack! Everyone who has eaten an Eternal Heaven Fruit, undergone Cultivation, or taken Gene dicine, actively help your teammates with Weight training. Don't let children under the age of one carry anything. We must quickly move out of the city center!”
A team mber looked at the rats that had suddenly appeared and muttered, “Is it already too late?”
Inside the PCA Federation Intelligence Bureau.
The building, which had been brightly lit due to overti work, was now dark.
However, the intelligence bureau was special. Its backup generator would automatically turn on in five minutes, at which point order would be restored here.
Qing Yi sat alone in the dark office, quietly listening to the commotion caused by the power outage in the large office outside.
The forr waterlon-headed boy had cut his waterlon-head hairstyle, now sporting a crew cut like Li Ke's, looking much more capable.
At this ti, a PCE investigator walked in: “Boss, a woman nad Si Nianhua has co. She says she has an appointnt with you.”
Qing Yi looked up in the darkness; the moonlight cast a shadow on the corners of his eyes.
The young man stood up: “Bring her in. Quickly.”
Si Nianhua, in high heels, walked with a graceful cat-like gait, her expensive handbag tucked under her arm.
Qing Yi laughed when he saw her: “How has the gentleman been lately?”
Si Nianhua said, “No ti for pleasantries. The power outage was caused by Shendai. They placed Shendai Qianchi's corpse in a sewer sowhere, causing Biological Contamination in City 10. Now, they plan to destroy the city. Please act quickly; he will be waiting for you in District 3.”
Qing Yi nodded and decisively said to the PCA investigator: “Qing Hua, go and notify the Li Clan's investigators to co with us. Tell them it's the independent director's order. Yang Xuyang, go get that thing.”
Speaking, he turned and walked toward the door: “Everyone, follow .”
In just five minutes, this team, trained by Qing Chen, quickly left the PCA building under Qing Yi's leadership.
Imdiately afterward, the Li Clan's investigators also ca out.
Qing Yi walked into the night, Si Nianhua following behind him with a smile on her lips.
Qing Yi pressed the remote control in his hand; the building behind him suddenly turned into a ball of fire, engulfing the Chen Family, Shendai, and Koshima investigators in the inferno.
The thing he had Yang Xuyang go get was a high-performance explosive in a sealed tal box.
It was originally intended for Qing Yi to die with others if he had no other choice; now, it was used to destroy all life in that building.
Qing Yi smiled at Si Nianhua: “Did the gentleman say anything else?”
Si Nianhua was sowhat surprised. The young man's thods were indeed worthy of the title of the living Yama of Intelligence Bureau One, but when he ntioned Qing Chen, his smile was so innocent and carefree.
“Boss said to let notify you to evacuate imdiately and to find a way to notify all Secret Spy Agency mbers.”
“Imdiately?” Qing Yi's smile beca even brighter.
City 10.
District 3 also fell into darkness due to the damaged power system.
It was as if it had never been bright here.
“Let do it! Lao Luo said that as long as I can open the Key Gate to that place, he'll introduce to a partner,” Xiao San took out the recently obtained golden True Sight Eye: “Don't worry, I haven't been in a relationship yet. I can definitely get there.”
“Don't open it to the Forbidden Zone,” soone said in the dark.
“I won't,” Xiao San chuckled: “I'm afraid of death. I definitely won't open it there.”
Key Gate, one of the most widely used spells in the wizarding lineage, was the foundation of wizards.
Its principle was to press a Ferrero-sized True Sight Eye onto a door, turn it clockwise ten tis, and the door would take you to anywhere you wanted to go.
It would definitely be the place you most wanted to go in your heart, without any concealnt.
This was originally a spell for wizards to directly verify their hearts. When you are lost and don't know where to go in life, the Key Gate will tell you the answer.
A person can only open the Key Gate once in their lifeti.
However, after nearly a thousand years of circulation, the Key Gate had been ruined by the Observer Organization.
Luo Wanya promised all these energetic, strong young n that as long as they opened it in the wilderness, no matter where, they would definitely be introduced to a partner.
As Xiao San gently turned the True Sight Eye, the iron door in front of him seed to be lted by the True Sight Eye, burning red marks like molten iron.
The True Sight Eye slowly embedded itself into the door, and with a click, the Key Gate opened.
Xiao San took a deep breath and stepped through.
In front of him was an empty wilderness and stars, the vast starry sky above him exceptionally bright and magnificent.
Xiao San retreated back inside the door: “Mission accomplished. I was really afraid that I would open the Key Gate to District 4's Red-light District. Next!”
The Kunlun Organization gave the Guardians' Union five True Sight Eyes, so they would have five chances to open the Key Gate.
Ten minutes passed, and four of the five doors opened in the sa place, which ant they had succeeded!
All the Ho Families were under imnse pressure because they knew they were carrying the lives of countless people.
At this ti, more than forty Ho Families filed out of the Key Gate, seeming to be making preparations over there.
Xiao San used a knife to remove the iron door: “Alright, let's carry the door downstairs and start arranging the evacuation of the residents of District 3.”
“How should we persuade them?” Qin Shuli curiously asked: “Should I prepare a script?”
Although Qin Shuli had beco a mber of the Golden Family and was in City 10, Luo Wanya hadn't taken him to the island, so Qin Shuli didn't know the specific arrangents.
In the darkness, soone was lighting torches in the corridor. Xiao San laughed: “I asked Leader the sa question. I still rember clearly that Leader looked at with disdain and asked: Are you a good citizen? Have you forgotten your identity?”
Xiao San continued: “That's when I realized, yes, I'm a gang mber. Although we're doing good deeds, we collect Protection money and clean up District 3, but it's because of our deterrence that we can push these good deeds forward, isn't it? Now, we have to continue being brutal gang mbers!”
Frightening the residents into leaving was better than letting them stay and die.
Gang identity was the camouflage the Guardians' Union used when facing ordinary residents. Maybe the residents wouldn't understand what the Guardians' Union was doing, but as long as they feared the Guardians' Union, it would be enough.
At this ti, ten Guardians' Union liaisons had already taken advantage of the darkness, roaring out on diesel motorcycles to gather the Ho Families scattered in various corners of City 10.
If it weren't for the fact that they had expanded too much, the Guardians' Union would be even larger now.
It's important to know that City 10 and City 18 were the bases of the Guardians' Union, the heart of the entire Guardians' Union's outward expansion and blood transfusion.
The Guardians' Union's desire to bloom everywhere depended on the talent supply from these two cities.
The Ho Families here were not ordinary families; they were no different from coaches.
The Ho Families who went out from these two cities would have higher status.
Now, so Ho Families were quickly building sandbag fortifications on the edge of District 3 and using quick-drying construction concrete to quickly fill all the sewers.
So Ho Families were moving out the military supplies and dicines they had been stockpiling.
The remaining group, including Xiao San, carried four Key Gates, divided into four groups, and aggressively stord into four buildings, driving everyone downstairs.
Xiao San fired several shots into the sky downstairs, scaring the residents who had been driven downstairs.
Xiao San laughed wildly: “No one is allowed to sleep! Search every house and bring all the food you have into this door.”
The residents were surprised. Xiao San and the mbers of the Ho Families were completely different from their usual selves.
In the past, the Ho Families, though fierce, were still polite to ordinary residents. Now, they all had ferocious expressions.
In the crowd, soone whispered: “I said the gang couldn't be that good. They were pretending before. Now they're showing their true colors!”
“What are they doing? Why are they going into that door? Are they going to sell us sowhere?”
Xiao San heard their words, but his expression didn't change: “Don't ss around! Line up in two long lines, two people abreast, and walk into the door. If anyone walks slowly, I'll break their legs! Hurry up!”
The Guardians' Union mbers waved their short knives ferociously, forcing the residents to walk in one by one, as if the knives and guns would strike if anyone hesitated.
And the Ho Families were not at all polite. Whenever they encountered grumbling n, they would kick them.
At this ti, a middle-aged couple led a little girl and walked tremblingly. Xiao San's eyes lit up, and he reached into his pocket and took out a few candies: “Xiao Xia, here's so candy.”
This was a little girl he had just t in District 3. She was very cute, and at such a young age, she said that she wanted to join the Ho Families to help the residents of District 3 and punish evil.
But Xiao Xia, who would usually smile sweetly when she saw him, started crying at once. As she walked into the Key Gate, she said, “Uncle is so annoying.”
Xiao San's movents froze. He slowly clasped his hands together, watching the girl's tears fall one by one, making his heart ache.
Xiao Xia's parents quickly covered her mouth, trying to take the girl away before Xiao San got angry.
But Xiao San watched their backs disappear into the Key Gate and softly said, “I'm sorry.”
The next mont, he turned ferocious again towards the residents: “All of you, hurry up! I'll see who is dawdling, who wants to die!”
Behind the Key Gate, the residents of District 3 originally thought they would see a scene of hell.
As a result, after entering, they slid down a slide on a hillside. At the end of the hillside, Ho Families were responsible for helping them up one by one, then helping the next person out of the Key Gate.
What the Ho Families who had previously entered the Key Gate had to do was dig a slide on the hillside outside the Key Gate to receive the residents.
This was also Qing Chen's thod, which greatly improved efficiency.
At the end of the slide, there was a sign: “Hello to all residents. We are the Ho Families. We apologize for disturbing you in the middle of the night. But there is no way. City 10 is about to experience a terrible disaster. It is a Biological Contamination event planned by the Shendai Consortium, causing all the rats in the city to mutate. Tonight's power outage and explosions are also related to this matter. Therefore, we have no choice but to transfer you out. Everything will be clear in 4 hours. Please be patient and wait here briefly; soone will transport water and supplies later. Announcent from the Ho Families.”
Under the explanatory text, soone had drawn a heart and a smiley face.
The residents were stunned for a mont.
There were no black market rchants here to buy them, no Ho Families mbers with weapons to continue coercing them, only boundless wilderness.
Four doors, four slides, continuously transporting residents out without stopping.
The Ho Families on the Key Gate side didn't care about them after receiving them; there were too few people.
This was completely different from the scene they had imagined!
So residents wanted to escape, but at this ti, they rembered their recent interactions with the Ho Families and involuntarily stopped.
This was the foundation of trust.
This was the return that the Guardians' Union received after their efforts.
Xiao Xia couldn't read, so her parents read the words on the sign to her. The little girl imdiately started crying and wanted to go back to find her uncle.
Her parents comforted her: “It's okay. After this is over, we'll apologize to uncle, okay?”
Xiao Xia nodded vigorously: “Okay.”
In District 3, a Ho Family mber looked at the street outside and suddenly shouted: “The Rat Tide is here!”
Before their eyes, countless rats crawled out of the sewers outside District 3. They pushed open the manhole covers and gushed out like a tide.
