Chapter 952: Chapter 772 Good Fortune Comes Our Way~

In the deep silence of the night.

There are still places lit brightly.

On the outskirts of Yangcheng City.

The newly constructed Safety Bureau building is hidden in a mountain hollow near Yuhua Dam, with a newly paved road leading straight to Yuhua Institute.

Sometimes the pace of human infrastructure is slow.

But sometimes, humans can raise a building overnight from flat ground.

Undeniably.

Almost all humans suffer from procrastination.

“The upper echelons will discuss this for a long time, but if things go as expected, it’s unlikely this matter will be disclosed to the public. The impact would simply be too great.”

The Safety Bureau meeting room.

Captain Zheng sighed and said.

Luo Kai sat in the chair next to him, playing a mobile game. His feet were resting on the meeting table, his head leaning against the backrest. Upon hearing this, he didn’t react much.

“However, it will probably be disclosed to the upper levels.”

“Heh.”

Luo Kai sneered upon hearing this.

Pausing the mobile game interface, he turned his head to look at Captain Zheng. The two equally composed individuals traded glances.

Luo Kai said calmly: “There will never be a Noah’s Ark in this world, no one can buy a ticket, and we can’t construct one either. If the Abyss breaches the defenses, everyone will die.”

Captain Zheng’s gaze flickered: “Mr. Luo, what about the people around you…”

“Useless.”

Luo Kai shifted his gaze back to the game.

He sighed lightly and said: “Don’t mention you ordinary folks, even those newly emerging Low Rank players don’t have the ability to leave this world. They can only wait for death.”

Captain Zheng was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

As a branch manager of the Safety Bureau, he wasn’t one of the top-level decision-makers. As such, his understanding of Script Space and players was superficial at best.

In his current perception, “players” were simply a group of superpower users who could obtain strength from other worlds, and the “Abyss pollution” resembled an unknown virus invading Earth, akin to a disaster movie.

Except, this particular virus was markedly more bizarre.

While thinking about this.

Captain Zheng suddenly recalled another person.

“Then… what about Mr. Xu’s family?”

In the backup data of the Yangcheng Security Bureau, Xu Shuo’s sister, Xu Xi, was just an ordinary person without any abilities.

And Xu Shuo himself also seemed to be merely a Low Rank player.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t they also be unable to leave?

Luo Kai looked at Captain Zheng after hearing this.

The moment Captain Zheng caught his gaze, he instantly understood the implications, his expression tinged with embarrassment.

“Alright…”

That person was involved with Script Space’s Judgement.

So those troubles.

Actually, they might not even qualify as troubles.

Captain Zheng suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

This world might have no more than a year left before it falls.

No one wants to accept such an ending, but if this information were to be disclosed to everyone, societal order might collapse long before that.

So the authorities only plan to disclose it to specific people.

No one could say whether this arrangement is right or wrong.

The two fell silent.

Luo Kai didn’t say anything further either, focusing instead on his mobile game. Having only recently started playing this game, he was currently at level 250.

The game had a global server leaderboard.

The top-ranked player had reached level 2600.

Furthermore, it was rumored that this player had held the top spot since the game’s launch day. To this day, no one had overtaken them—although there were occasional instances of later players briefly stealing the top spot, the next day the leader would inevitably reclaim it.

This phenomenon had even sparked discussions on the game forums.

Some had even offered a large sum to obtain the contact information of this legendary player.

Yet no one knew.

The top player was actually the game’s developer.

Their own game.

And they had to monopolize the top spot themselves.

It was rather absurd.

Luo Kai glanced at the victory screen of his game as he prepared to load the next level. Suddenly, the sound of a ringing phone broke the silence nearby.

Turning his head, he saw Captain Zheng hurriedly pulling a phone out of his pocket.

“Hello, this is Zheng Chengzhi.”

After introducing himself, Captain Zheng fell silent, listening intently. His expression shifted from composed and reserved to grave and heavy.

After hanging up, Captain Zheng looked at Luo Kai.

Before he could speak.

Luo Kai had already mostly guessed: “Abyss pollution occurrence?”

Captain Zheng nodded gravely: “And not just one location. Just now, the Yuhua Institute detected signals of pollution at no fewer than five spots. Based on the intelligence you previously provided, these locations are all likely within Yangcheng City’s jurisdiction!”

“Where’s the nearest one?”

Luo Kai spoke as he pocketed his phone and lowered his feet from the table.

His posture already indicated readiness to head to the scene.

After all, the Yangcheng Safety Bureau currently had very few players under its wing. Most were still rookies who had just entered Script Space through various coincidences and subsequently been discovered and recruited by the authorities.

It would be impossible to send such green recruits to face Abyss invasions.

Otherwise, the player casualties would be innumerable.

As for those truly strong players…

Cases like Xu Shuo.

They only took up tasks they deemed worth doing.

“This… Setting aside other locations for now, an order just came down from above. There’s one spot that may require you, Mr. Luo, to head over immediately.” Captain Zheng said with a troubled expression.

“Speak.” Luo Kai remained stoic.

“Dongshan District, Shengcheng Garden area.”

“Got it.”

Luo Kai nodded thoughtfully.

Even though he wasn’t a local of Yangcheng City, during his time here, he had picked up enough to know what kind of place Shengcheng Garden was.
