Chapter 380: Chapter 304 Work and Tasks_1

Their native world sought to restore a semblance of early order, yet it was not something achievable in a few months. Meanwhile, some people wanted to find and neutralize the individual causing the mobile anomalies, but this proposal was ultimately vetoed, as the attitude of the Proxy Agent responsible for the anomalies remained unclear.

Actively seeking out the other party could easily lead to misunderstandings. If the other party had any intention of making contact, all they needed to do was wait, given that Zheng Yichen’s appearance was no secret.

However, the situation at Dusk Cathedral required extra attention. Previous misinformation led them to a grave misunderstanding about that place, seeing it as a graveyard for the powerful. Now, they must take the initiative to make contact.

Some things aren’t realized to be incorrect until after the fact. Only then did they discover how deeply their side had been corrupted, as the veteran Three Glory powerful experts, set on purging traitors, began their sweep with incredible swiftness.

Heads rolled among the departments implicated in the betrayal, and as the veteran Three Glory powerful experts came knocking, some tried to flee. Yet, the Boundary Breakers were too preoccupied with their own troubles to assist, and on what basis could the native betrayers expect to escape?

When Boundary Breakers attempted to flee, they sought to take with them the world’s top combat forces, who were welcomed everywhere. But those who merely held some power in their native world and lacked significant strength, why would the Boundary Breakers bother taking them along when making their escape?

Direct escape was an option for some. This issue dawned on several people, yet the furious native Three Glory powerful experts showed no mercy for pleas, treating each and every compromised individual as vermin to be exterminated.

After all, this was a world where individual combat power was remarkably formidable. The efficiency of these purges was inconceivably high. Although the cleanse was not yet fully completed, the sheer number of traitors left them shaken.

With so many affected from top to bottom, it’s no wonder the Boundary Breakers could successfully lead such a grand misdirection.

As for the issue of preventing leaks, they found a certain substance and very subtle forces on some of the betrayers. Upon contact, this force immediately went haywire, destroying the betrayers’ brains. Even if some were saved, they became deranged and unable to provide any useful information.

Moreover, some young talents native to this world also harbored hidden elements of Black Light, which could erupt given the right trigger.

During the dissemination of Black Light by the Boundary Breakers, numerous young talents were affected. While some were rescued, the Black Light inside them proved challenging to eradicate. This force was specifically designed to target their world’s power systems, leaving even the veteran Three Glory powerful experts at a loss.

Not to mention that a significant number of Three Glory powerful experts were also infected with Black Light, necessitating long seclusions to try and eliminate its influence or control it, transforming a disadvantage into an advantage.

A myriad of ongoing issues deeply affected this world. Restoring preliminary order would take months, while a full recovery would demand at least several years.

In addition to controlling mutated beasts, many veteran Three Glory powerful experts simply did not have enough time to slowly rid themselves of the Black Light infection.

If alien beasts went mad, that’s one thing, but surely humans shouldn’t follow suit? And then there were those alien beasts, influenced by Black Light, running amok...

The native powerful experts might regret their past actions, but it was too late for regrets. All they could do was remediate as best as they could and ensure that every last one of those deserving death was sent to the grave.

From the captured Boundary Breakers, they learned about the existence of the Great World. However, these Boundary Breakers did not hold high positions within the Boundary Breaking Faction of the Great World, and their knowledge was limited. Still, they began to gauge the strength of the Great World, which they absolutely could not confront.

The only thing that gave them a sense of security was knowing that even powerful beings from the Great World would be subjected to Environmental Adjustment upon arriving in their world. Their strength, no matter how formidable, would not exceed the highest power ceiling of this world. As for how high their world’s power ceiling was...

Many veteran Three Glory powerful experts claimed there was still significant room for progress, and that they had not yet reached the true limit. Therefore, if top-tier experts from the Great World were to descend upon them, the only way to deal with them, aside from sacrificing countless lives, was to have no alternative.

They needed to progress. As for retaliating against the Great World, they first needed to find a way there, and before thinking of revenge, shouldn’t they first strive to reach the limit of power in their native world?

If they could not even achieve that, they need not speak of vengeance. As for other methods of retribution, they turned their eyes to the Dusk Territory. Due to a misunderstanding, they had previously targeted the Dusk mercenary. Now, with extra information at hand, they realized how outrageously wrong they had been.

The Dusk Territory represented a "force" resolutely opposing world-fundamental-affecting powers like the Boundary Breaking Faction. By this avenue, they could take revenge on the Boundary Breaking Faction of the Great World. Simply causing their plans to fail would be the ultimate retaliation.

Moreover, they could use this method to enrich their native world’s power system, lest a similar situation arise where a lack of diverse powers took place; the enemy had researched a type of targeted Black Light, which almost wiped out their world’s high-end combatants.

Fortunately, an expert solved the fundamental problems of the world, but the Black Light was still an endless problem.

Under the indication of the native powerhouses, the management layer, which was in the midst of a major cleansing, was also looking for suitable candidates. As long as one had the adaptability to Dusk and the credentials to be a Dusk mercenary, one would have resources and expert instruction!

As for the fear of the pressure from the Great World, some people were afraid, but others were very clear that fear was meaningless. If the Great World could target them once, there would be a second time. They had no means to protect against the Great World, and if they didn’t find a way to improve themselves, they would only get beaten when it returned.

Run away? Not to mention, they were part of this world, not its masters or controllers. How could they run?

The native world began a new transformation amid chaos.

Several days later, Zheng Yichen, with white hair, walked down the street of a town that had many damaged areas. When he arrived, he found a large number of unprocessed carcasses of native alien beasts nearby. Some people were even carrying flamethrowers to burn the bodies.

In the town, many half-filled transport vehicles could be seen, holding many locals with deranged expressions and abnormal mental states. A soldier in a combat suit held a megaphone, loudly proclaiming the dangers and risks of such people, signaling that finding such people should not be met with any notions of sheltering them...

So far, this kind of propaganda was not very effective, and there were even people charging at the blockade line, trying to pull people out, but they were quickly suppressed. The riot control soldiers had become accustomed to this.

A few days ago, they might have been stirred by such incidents, but now they were used to it. Not everyone had gone mad, but those who had gone mad definitely needed to be dealt with. These deranged individuals had a very high probability of mutation after further testing.

Some didn’t want to see their relatives being taken away, resulting in the annihilation of entire households. After mutating, those with deranged minds became unrecognizable and highly lethal.

They had done as much propaganda as possible, but some still hoped their relatives might be an exception and did not fully cooperate.

Initially, they had tried to persuade people with a softer approach, but as manpower became tight in every area, this gentle approach was quickly phased out. It was just too time-consuming, and a forceful approach could solve problems at a much faster rate.

The celestial phenomena had returned to normal, and the meteorological bureau worked day and night to confirm there would not be any more unusual three-day phenomena in the sky. All that remained was the regular natural cycle. After the madmen were taken away, the probability of encountering others going crazy was not high.

Having addressed the internal problems of a city or town, the next concern was dealing with the mad wild beasts and the influence of the Black Light.

Black Light had little effect on ordinary people; as long as ordinary people did not possess special powers, Black Light couldn’t find fertile ground for growth and influence. However, ordinary people who came into contact with Black Light would still be potentially affected. Without special powers, it’s no issue, but upon acquiring special powers, they’re likely to be influenced by Black Light in the initial stages.

Negative emotions within the heart would rapidly expand, leading to loss of control and turning into madmen or experiencing drastic personality changes, becoming evil and cruel due to negative emotions.

The power system of their world had become very unsafe due to the Black Light; even normally powerful individuals had to undergo regular checks... This situation would have to be maintained until the issues with Black Light were completely resolved.

The soldiers were busy, and there was a severe shortage of manpower everywhere. As for ordinary people, life had to continue as usual.

With a newspaper in hand and reading the latest news, Zheng Yichen felt somewhat emotional. He glanced at the alarmed ordinary people on the street; the situation was reminiscent of Earth before his transmigration, where a pandemic brought out the many facets of life.

"Excuse me, please cooperate," a soldier said to Zheng Yichen as he read the newspaper. The soldier, looking at Zheng Yichen’s youthful appearance and white hair, seemed slightly tense.

Zheng Yichen smiled, not minding that the other party recognized his identity, and extended his hand. The soldier’s scanner briefly swept over his palm and immediately said, "Thank you for cooperating. You are free to move now."

Checking Zheng Yichen’s physical status to see if he was influenced by Black Light was part of the routine work. After finishing the job, the next task was to relay a message – a task that warranted an extra word or two.
