Chapter 495: Chapter 171: Old Lead, Oh Old Lead

In that instant, the girl instinctively grabbed Li Changhe’s hand.

And the team size was suddenly cut in half.

People who were just talking and comforting each other disappeared right in front of them, making the already tense crowd even more terrified and screams broke out.

Old Monitor Jiang Wei, who was just a few steps away from Li Changhe, disappeared with a flash of white light, while his classmates stared dumbfounded at the spot where he vanished.

Just a second ago, Old Monitor was saying that he would definitely get them out of there and not to panic.

The next second, he was gone.

"So... do we still need to turn in our homework?" one classmate asked stupidly.

A few students with poor mental endurance began to sob.

Chen Yu’s face also looked a bit ugly. She contacted Li Changhe through [Friends]: "This is the reason they are blocking the evacuation. If we continue to stay in the north bank, those of us who have heard the horn sound might be called and taken away by it."

"Dream Cruise? Does your database have any information on this thing?" Li Changhe asked. The Great Wall Database recorded not only most [Players’] information but also many species and phenomena. If they had intelligence on that broken ship, they wouldn’t be so passive.

"An unidentified giant cruise ship, which, apart from its horn, cannot be observed by any means. It appeared in a ’spot’ overseas 14 hours ago. Despite the official forces of that country trying their best to resist, it still took hundreds of people from that city."

"It was still overseas half a day ago, and now it’s rushing to Yanyun." Li Changhe frowned. The so-called ’spots’ were actually the special designations given to some cities by the earliest batch of [Players].

The official branches of various countries were also set up in those spots.

They were the most concentrated locations for [Players], and even then, the other party could take away hundreds of people from there.

This ship must be something special.

"All we know now is that the ship is searching for something. As for the people taken away, they might be replenishing passengers." Chen Yu said: "The target is us, the ones who heard the horn sound. It’s as if we’ve been marked. If we don’t leave the north bank quickly, we might be taken away the next time the horn sounds. However, as [Players], you and I can use the Escape Coin to flee. But there’s really no way for the ordinary people... we can only try to break through."

"If we can use the [Escape Coin], does that mean this ship is essentially a mobile Instance?"

"You could say that."

Even if they were dragged into the ship, they would still have a 50% chance of escaping, just like a normal Instance.

Li Changhe felt slightly relieved and asked, "So what’s the plan now?"

"Right now, we know there are 25 Abnormalities, including the Little Matchstick Girl, wandering around the north bank. And we still have 15 evacuation teams here."

"So it’s not possible to evacuate with the teams," Li Changhe analyzed.

"And since Lv10 and above Players entering the north bank would attract stronger Abnormalities, stronger forces can’t be deployed either. It’d be terrible if something extreme got drawn out."

"Which is why we’re planning on giving it a try to see if we can attract the attention of those 25 Abnormalities and allow everyone to evacuate."

A few seconds later, blinding flames erupted in the distance.

The direction of the flames was... the previous evacuation route.

"Attacking the Abnormalities and attracting their attention?" Li Changhe thought.

If they could confirm there are only 25 of them, even though they couldn’t deploy higher-level forces, they could still have external support intervene.

Only the official forces could achieve this - evacuating while still deploying considerable strength to force the enemy.

If the enemy could only send out 25 Abnormalities, there would be no more obstacles for the evacuation.

The next second, however, Li Changhe saw the girls and Chen Yu’s faces suddenly change.

Did the other party make some unexpected moves?

Before Li Changhe could ask, a flash of white light appeared in front of him, and he felt a void under his feet.

The delicate little hand that had been tightly holding his fingers disappeared.

The scenery in front of him changed as well.

"Teleportation! There’s even this move?" Li Changhe twisted his body at half a meter above the ground and landed safely.

Quickly scanning his surroundings, he saw three classmates who had fallen to the ground and hadn’t reacted yet.

As well as two special squad members who quickly got up and held their guns on alert.

"Does that broken ship have this ability? Or is it the ability of some Abnormality?" Li Changhe’s eyes flickered as he contacted the girl in [Friends].

"After our colleagues restrained the Abnormalities, all the teams were scattered and teleported. It’s estimated that the other party is unable to dispatch more Abnormalities and is trying to trap us with this method." The girl quickly replied: "Where are you?"

"North bank, west side... quite familiar." Li Changhe scanned the area.

Yup! All places where he had worked before.

"How about you?"

The girl named a place, and Li Changhe remembered it being near the bridge. Wasn’t she about to leave then? It seemed that the other party couldn’t completely relocate its targets accurately.

Otherwise, if they were all stacked in the center of the north bank, who could escape?

"You go first, and don’t worry. Remember, your boyfriend is not only handsome but also a great driver. People call me ’Fairy of the Racetrack’, so this much distance is nothing to me." Li Changhe replied to the girl in [Friends].

That wasn’t a lie. For Li Changhe, a bicycle would be enough.

Or, Brother Ting was also keen to try his hand at the Knight Rank strength.

Actually, it wouldn’t be too difficult for [Players] to leave the north bank quickly.

The [Players] in the north bank all left on their own. They neither interfered with the official rescue efforts nor chose to help. They just quietly left the north bank.

There was nothing to say about it. As [Players], of course, they would cherish their lives. It’s normal not to want to get involved in messy situations.

However, [Great Wall] was held back because they were worried about the impact on the people.

Leaving wasn’t difficult, but taking a group of people would be too disrespectful to the other party.

Unfortunately, Li Changhe glanced at the three confused classmates and the two alert special squad members.

On one hand, they were his classmates, and on the other, they could be considered colleagues of Brother Dong and the girl. From the perspective of Hidden Pile, they could also be considered his colleagues.

They couldn’t just abandon them.

"Alright then." Li Changhe thought and reached into his pocket, touching the ball.

"Boss Lead, it’s been a while."

When Li Changhe saw the Little Matchstick Girl earlier, there was a strange noise coming from [Boss Lead] in his pocket...

A very eerie sound.

’Slurp’
