Chapter 709: Alarmist Talk

Jiang Baimian was a little stunned when she heard Shang Jianyaos question. She hesitated and said, Probably not

Her voice dragged out into a whisper. This was because she didnt know much about the situation in the New World. She couldnt be sure if the experts there knew each other, nor did she know if Doctor had spread the information about her team to people he was familiar with.

After a brief pause, Jiang Baimian tersely acknowledged and said, Even if Doctor knows that were in Ubei, its unlikely he can make it in time. Ignoring the event in which the assassin happens to be nearby out of sheer luck, Doctor shouldnt be able to return completely even if theres such a coincidence. His body is still in the Eighth Research Institute and is worlds apart from Ubei. Unless he can teleport, I dont think he can make it in time.

The Old Task Force would be examined after dawn and leave Ubei.

But our understanding of New World powerhouses is limited to what Wu Meng said. The honest Shang Jianyao argued.

Jiang Baimian nodded. Theres nothing wrong with being careful. Lets first confirm if weve fallen into a dream.

Her understanding of Doctor was: the nightmares minion who controlled a series of dream domain abilities.

As she was unprepared and didnt instruct the auxiliary chip, she couldnt monitor if she had fallen asleep.

Shang Jianyao was immediately excited. Alright!

Hewho had been blasted to the windowturned around and looked out at the dim lights. His figure appeared in the glass.

Looking at his reflection in the darkness, Shang Jianyao said in a deep voice, I was dreaming yesterday at this time. Theres no fundamental difference or great change between today and yesterday. So

His gaze suddenly glazed over as his eyes slowly lost focus. He seemed to have entered a sleepwalking state.

From the looks of it, we arent affected by a dream yet

Jiang Baimian heaved a sigh of relief, jumped up, and landed beside the window. Seizing this opportunity, she slapped Shang Jianyao awake.

Shang Jianyao suddenly snapped to his senses and looked around. Doctor probably hasnt arrived yet

If Little Red were here, he would definitely say: Dont have such a strong persecution complex

Jiang Baimian criticized inwardly and nodded slightly. Ill set up the instructions for the auxiliary chip. Then, Ill report this matter to the Salvation Army at dawn. I dont think they will watch a New World powerhouse descend in Ubei without doing anything. Besides, their relationship with the Eighth Research Institute isnt harmonious at all.

In other words, it was basically impossible to rule out the possibility that Doctor knew the Salvation Armys higher-ups and had secretly reached a certain level of tacit understanding.

In such a situation, Jiang Baimian was definitely unwilling to neglect a large faction like the Salvation Army, which she could rely on.

She often said that people werent born differently, but when it came to success or failure, it depended on whos using the tools available.

Alright. The ruthless but timid Shang Jianyao was very satisfied with this solution.

He and Jiang Baimian quickly packed their items, put on their tactical backpacks, walked out of the room, and came to the living room.

At this moment, Genava was charging as he looked at the darkness and the street lamps outside the window as if he were in deep thought.

Old Ge, whats on your mind? Shang Jianyao asked curiously. He seemed to have forgotten that Doctor might attack.

This Shang Jianyao was not the same Shang Jianyao.

Genava turned his metal neck and said, Im wondering what my selfishness is since all humans are selfish

Have you figured it out? If you dont, Ill get Big White to make one up for you on the spot, Shang Jianyao asked in concern.

Hey, what are you saying?

Jiang Baimian expressed her indignation at the slander. Of course, she used her eyes instead of words to express this injustice.

Genava sighed, and the wind produced a strange sound in his metal mouth. My selfishness is likely the pursuit of the definition of being human and to prove the meaning of my existence. For this reason, Ive always held back from returning to Mechanical Paradise to save my wife and daughter. Their relevant memories mightve already been completely formatted

Sigh Shang Jianyao sighed as well. Just treat it as if they encountered an Awakened in the Last Man domain. You can nurture your feelings for each other after rescuing them.

Without the memories of the past, and perhaps even have their personalities and components completely changed, are they still my wife and daughter Genava fell into deep thought again.

Shang Jianyao was momentarily unable to answer such a philosophical question. He could only solemnly promise, After we figure out the source of the Heartless disease and the reason for the Old Worlds destruction, well accompany you back to Mechanical Paradise to save your wife and daughter! When the time comes, we can try to resolve any problem.

In the world, not all problems have an answer or a solution

Jiang Baimian muttered but didnt interject.

At this moment, Genava realized that they had woken up a little early. Whats wrong? Did you discover anything abnormal?

Its fine. Shang Jianyao had a nonchalant expression. I just thought that Doctor might attack.

Even as a smart bot, Genava was almost confused by the logic behind this sentence.

Its not a trivial matter if Doctor might attack. Genava was one who clarified matters and got to the bottom of things. Why did you suddenly link the matter to him?

The honest Shang Jianyao quickly explained his guess.

After careful analysis, Genava let out a slightly synthetic voice. Although the possibility is relatively low, we do need to take precautions.

The conversation between the trio woke up Bai Chen and Long Yuehong. They came out one after another and figured out what had happened.

The Old Task Force waited for more than an hour before the sky finally lit up.

Ding Ling also came over and knocked on their door according to their prior agreement. Upon realizing that Jiang Baimian and the others had serious expressions, the experienced Salvation Army border sentry captain frowned slightly. Did someone disturb you last night?

After finishing off the resident in Room 214, she didnt think there was anything in the Ashlands Hotel that could make October Xues team have such an expression.

Jiang Baimian had long deliberated over her words. Heres the thing. Last night, didnt we say that we were invaded by a strange black figure when we touched the brooch? Fortunately, our robot, Genava, was around to release a high-voltage electric current, putting a stop to this matter.

Yes, whats wrong with that? Ding Ling was rather confused.

This was something that had been explained and confirmed last night.

Jiang Baimian looked around and cleared her throat. We suspect that the black figure originated from the New World.

New World

Ding Lings eyebrows twitched.

Jiang Baimian continued with an innocent expression. When we were previously pursued by the Eighth Research Institute, we were targeted by a New World powerhouse. In the middle of the night, we suddenly thought: If the black figure that mightve originated from the New World knows the powerhouses that have their sights on us and knows our characteristics, doesnt that mean that the powerhouse might rush over at any moment, return to reality, and take action personally?

Being targeted by a New World powerhouse Rush over at any moment, return to reality, and take action personally

On the one hand, Ding Ling felt that she should be numb. On the other hand, she couldnt help but twitch the muscles on her face.

Who are these people? Why were they so randomly associated with the New World!?

It had to be known that before accompanying this team to Ubei, she didnt even know that the New World represented an Awakeneds level. She only thought that it was another world that humans had been searching fora world that symbolized beautiful hope and a bright future. It was no longer a world with the Heartless disease, famine, cold, mutated, and pollution.

After the Old Task Force shared the information with the Salvation Army through her, she obtained the corresponding clearance to understand this information. In the end, she really encountered something related to the New World in just a few days. Furthermore, it was somewhat related to the nuclear warhead theft!

October Xue and the others shouldve been targeted by the New World powerhouse before they came to our Salvation Army, but theyve always acted normal and havent shown any anxiety

Ding Ling was momentarily at a loss for words. Should she praise the Old Task Force for being bold or for being knowledgeable and not having to sweat over the big stuff?

Upon seeing that the border outpost captain was silent, Jiang Baimian added, If a powerhouse from the New World returns to reality in Ubei, Im worried that something unpredictable will happen. Therefore, Im reporting it to you in advance.

Ding Ling finally came to her senses and hurriedly said, Alright, Ill report it to Commissioner Huang immediately.

She didnt delay. Giving a gesture, she turned around and left the room.

In less than 15 minutes, the Old Task Force members were led to a room on the first floor of the hotel.

Commissioner Huang was alone in the room. He was still wearing the black Salvation Army uniform with no epaulet.

Upon seeing Jiang Baimian and the others, he said authoritatively, You guys only know how to surprise me! If someone from the New World were to really return and take action personally, theres no chance of you winning. Most of Ubeis citizens might die with you.

Why do you say that? Shang Jianyao asked.

Commissioner Huang fell silent for a moment. Thats because youve never seen the horror of a New World returner.

He paused and said, New World people can take the initiative to spread the Heartless disease to the surroundings.
