Chapter 521: Chapter 402 More Important People_1

After confirming that the Devouring Sky Pillar had been destroyed, the reconnaissance team temporarily stayed on this collapsing land, which, where the Sky Pillar had once taken root, now felt like a drained ocean.

"Perhaps this place will really become an ocean in the future," said a local world investigator with a somewhat sorrowful expression. She hadn’t been particularly concerned about the environment before, but some experiences provoke deeper feelings.

"That’s a matter for the future, the crisis isn’t over yet, there’s still a big battle ahead!" another investigator said sternly, scanning the surroundings with a device, trying to find useful traces in the environment.

"I’m thinking about how to become a Proxy Agent," said another young investigator elsewhere, speaking with an air of longing. The once insurmountable Devouring Sky Pillar had been dealt with, well, it couldn’t quite be said to have been ’simply’ dealt with.

Looking at the traces of destruction all around, one could imagine just how fierce the battle had been. Not to mention, the blow from the Sky Pillar lightsaber had been captured by many Firmament Wheels, a truly heart-stopping moment.

"Are you insane? Proxy Agents are those who got royally screwed by those bastards’ might; just become a Dusk mercenary. Dusk mercenaries can experience the daily life of a Proxy Agent too!" the young investigator’s team leader gave him a thwack on the head.

The intelligence they had received indicated that although Proxy Agents appeared last, it didn’t mean that Dusk mercenaries were any less capable. As long as one had talent and the guts to fight, one could tread a path similar to that of Proxy Agents.

Proxy Agents seemed so capable because of Dusk’s ’selection process,’ as they were chosen by Dusk for their uniqueness. Without being special, one simply wouldn’t have a future.

"Don’t space out, hurry up and investigate the scene, be careful. This land possesses a rather intense negative force residue, which can affect one’s mental state!" the investigation team’s leader said loudly, reminding his team members.

The other investigators tapped on the helmets they were carrying, signaling they would be attentive. On their helmets’ attached visors, some of the negative forces lingering in the environment around them were marked, and the equipment showed these forces had a strong eroding effect on the psyche.

Other investigation teams also found a Wise Dragon Base that had been buried due to the land’s collapse. After confirming the base’s code, they immediately began the subsequent steps, starting with remote infiltration.

The Wise Dragon Base was located near the Sky Pillar, and the possibility of enemy control could not be excluded.

"The energy system of this base is completely damaged; there’s no need for infiltration. But be careful of the traps that might be hidden inside... all right," an investigator swiftly opened the damaged entrance of the Wise Dragon Base.

The other investigators quickly entered the base, which was of high specification. Even though it had sustained serious damage due to the earthquake, many things inside were still preserved.

There weren’t any traps, and they soon found what they were looking for, including the main control core of the Wise Dragon Base.

But this core processor wasn’t the type like Wise Dragon No. 9’s; it was instead a metal box the size of a briefcase.

An investigator connected it to the device on the scanner, frowning at the information displayed: "This processor has been hacked by the enemy, I need better equipment to deal with it..."

Some things can’t just be handled by any computer, let alone the outdated scouting flyers they were currently using with backward systems. The processor of the Wise Dragon Base, on the other hand, directly controlled a base.

With their current equipment, they were simply not capable of correcting the Wise Dragon programs; they needed better gear for the job.

"Then we’ll just wait. There are many other things to collect in this base."

After gathering the data and ensuring that nothing was left behind at the scene, the various investigation teams began to head back. They didn’t go their separate ways, instead, they gathered at Firmament No. 7, which was the most stable of all the Firmament Wheels.

The discoveries here naturally had to be solved there.

Meanwhile, the other Firmament Wheels also began making subsequent arrangements. Since the environmental imbalance was gone, they were starting their counteroffensives!

The Devourers may be gone, but there are still the Boundary Breakers!

In Hell, Zheng Yichen watched impassively as the World of Death began to stabilize. This fragile World of Death was recovering quickly, the land solidifying again, and small points of light appeared within this world of death.

After converging, the points of light formed wandering souls.

Death was constant, and although this world faced severe problems, the existence of the Firmament Wheels preserved most of the human race.

Some confused souls passed by Zheng Yichen as if he didn’t exist. Next to him, Lilith’s projection quietly watched the still Zheng Yichen.

A sly black cat head cautiously peeked out, took a quick glance at Zheng Yichen, and immediately jumped out from the cloak, landing beside Lilith’s projected image. Zheng Yichen’s current state gave the cat spirit a terrifying impression, compelling it not to stay in its own ’home’.

At Lilith’s feet, the cat’s paws mischievously hooked around her lower leg, scraping at the air, then immediately tumbled over and started scratching with both paws. Lilith cast a glance at the restless cat spirit and directly dispelled the projection of her legs.

After a while, the icy expression on Zheng Yichen’s face softened, revealing an unpleasant look, "Sigh—if I really ever have a mental breakdown, it’ll definitely be my own doing."

Sitting on the motorbike, Zheng Yichen massaged his forehead, his head ached unbearably sweet, a result of actively resisting the demonic thoughts that caused the demonization, unlike before, when all it took was to recover normally, without such an unpleasant and uncomfortable sensation.

Once the headache subsided somewhat, Zheng Yichen exhaled deeply, "Let’s go."

Having left Hell, Zheng Yichen looked around the unfamiliar environment, grabbed a handful of soil; the structure of the earth had returned to normal, not like before when he held mud in his hands that felt like sand.

Not far away, a river was still filled with a large number of dead fish; unsurprisingly, these fish would just slowly dessicate and eventually disappear.

Decomposition? Even if the world returned to normal, certain dead things wouldn’t reappear, including some microbes within these dead fish, as well as other creatures’ corpses.

For the living people in this world, if they ventured out, they would always encounter bodies that hadn’t rotted but were slowly decaying.

Zheng Yichen sighed with a heavy heart, fished out a few fish from the river, and started to roast them on a fire he made. In the end, as long as it was edible that was fine. While fighting the Devouring Faction, he had eaten quite a few ’stones’; he needed to eat something normal to regain his sense of taste.

Meanwhile, he took out his phone to check the offline map. The large black dot had disappeared, leaving only a large red dot. Unfortunately, he still couldn’t approach the Firmament Wheel next—issues with the Firmament Wheel weren’t caused by the Devourers, but by the Boundary Breakers. If the Boundary Breakers weren’t dealt with, the problem with the Firmament Wheel would remain severe.

While eating the roasted fish, Zheng Yichen thought of something and took out a box from the motorbike, retrieving an octahedral crystal from inside.

A projection appeared; Wise Dragon No. 9 looked at the fire Zheng Yichen had started and the fish roasting on it, saying, "Thank you."

In a destabilized environment, it was impossible to make a fire. Now that Zheng Yichen could start a fire and roast fish, it showed that the environment had recovered, and in such conditions, it didn’t notice any energy loss in its core.

One of the biggest problems troubling this world was obviously solved, and how it was done remained unknown to it. The box was specially designed to block its perception, a measure prepared for building trust.

"No need to thank me, I’m just trying to survive."

Wise Dragon No. 9 said, "You look very tired; you can rest at a Wise Dragon Base we can differentiate. They will provide you the best recuperation services."

The environment had rebalanced; it could now connect to the network, but after calculating some issues, it refrained from doing so.

All Wise Dragon series up to No. 10 possess high intelligence. Right now, the priority wasn’t to connect to the network, but to ensure Zheng Yichen’s physical condition was at its best. The crisis hadn’t been completely resolved, and as for the local human race’s actions, they would deal with them when encountered.

Connecting to the network now would likely expose additional problems. Although Zheng Yichen was not a native of this world, what he had done was the most trustworthy.

If they could completely end this world’s crisis, then it would be acceptable for some more natives to die in exchange for the preservation of the fundamental framework. In principle, such a choice should not need to be made.

But in this world, one must choose.

"I have three weeks left, finding a place to rest would be good," Zheng Yichen rubbed his forehead, the countdown on the offline map hadn’t changed, meaning that the important factor that would doom this world wasn’t the Devouring Faction, but the Boundary Breaking Faction.

Wise Dragon No. 9 ’looked’ at the map on Zheng Yichen’s phone and said, "We can go to Wise Dragon No. 3 Base."

"What’s the difference between the top ten Wise Dragon Bases?" Zheng Yichen quickly finished the remaining roasted fish and tossed the bones into the river. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about the environment, but this could at least provide some sustenance for the microbes.

"There is no difference. The top ten Wise Dragon Bases are all of the same standard. Only during the development of special projects will there be a skew in resources."

I see, Zheng Yichen started the motorbike. He had wanted to visit Wise Dragon No. 1 Base out of curiosity, but now that that was clarified, his curiosity had diminished significantly. The reason Wise Dragon No. 9 recommended No. 3 Base wasn’t because it was special or had skewed resources.

It was simply closer.
