Chapter 203
It's the teleportation that players have been yearning for!
Yang Yixie immediately opened the skill description.
【Teleportation: The boundary between matter and energy is scrambled; you are not "jumping" through space, but turning yourself into non‑corporeal light, unbinding from the world, and when you become corporeal again, the coordinates are rewritten by you.】
Eh, it looks rather mystical, but the actual way to use it is not quite like the instant‑return‑to‑town he imagined.
Yang Yixie stared at the skill description, falling into thought; although it seemed powerful, in reality the skill is still heavily limited.
First, the protagonist moves in the form of an energy flow, like an electronic ghost parasitizing a firearm.
Cough, cough—anyway, you can only displace by means of energy; too far a distance won't work, the Blue Bar can't keep up, and if you wanted to teleport all the way back to Tianmian City, you'd at least need rune‑powered streetlights along the whole route........
Hmm, it doesn't seem like we can't try, does it?
Isn't this just city‑building? Plus you can raise your reputation a bit.
Ying Duo automatically followed the group and met up with the Supervision Bureau's field team that had rushed over, then went with them to the nearby temporary camp.
Members of the squad in Supervision Bureau uniforms were busy everywhere, and several people brought them some ability‑replenishing and wound‑healing potions.
Luo Jinyou, who remained unconscious, was the focus of attention, but no matter how the medical staff examined him, they still concluded he was merely trapped in a nightmare and could only wait for him to break free on his own.
Qi Hengyu and Min Tianyou's wounds had been bandaged; Chen Mo Zhi, having expended little, went to help treat the other wounded, while Shen Zexi picked up a stamina‑restoring potion and slowly rested nearby to replenish his energy.
Ying Duo also got one; he read the system's item description—though its effect wasn't great, it was better than nothing—so he gulped it down in one go, even wanting to scavenge more from the medical box, but Shen Zexi hauled him back.
Not long after, a commotion arose among the orderly crowd, and a tall figure strode in through the doorway—it was Yue Chengzhang.
His combat uniform bore multiple tears and scorch marks, but his steps were steady; he didn't look injured, just somewhat disheveled from the sudden explosion and collapse.
"Captain Yue!"
Several team members immediately went up to him and handed him the stamina‑restoring potions they were holding.
Yue Chengzhang waved his hands repeatedly, indicating he was fine.
"The core of that aberrant species has been completely destroyed; the explosion inside the Black Stone Mountain Range triggered multiple collapses, and the subsequent cleanup and assessment are now your responsibility."
After Yue Chengzhang arranged the upcoming work, he walked toward the direction where everyone was.
"Everyone all right?"
His gaze swept over the crowd, lingering a little longer on Min Tianyou.
"Thanks to Min Tianyou......" Shen Zexi said with a complex tone; logically, the most fragile forecaster would have shielded everyone at that moment.
"What about the 'Shepherd' and the 'Dark Raven'? Did they get away?"
Qi Hengyu couldn't help asking, the explosion came too suddenly—even if they had fled in advance, they wouldn't have made it in time, right?
Yue Chengzhang furrowed his brows tightly and, hearing that, shook his head.
"No, I lost track of them when the blast went off, but judging by their escape direction, they might still be trapped inside."
One could have the Supervision Bureau personnel pay more attention to that area, but the problem is that ordinary Bureau members are no match for those two, and if they actually ran into them it wouldn't be good.
"Captain Yue, my ability is usable now—how about I make a 'prophecy'?"
Lu Mu's strike didn't actually land on him, but Min Tianyou's face remained deathly pale.
Yue Chengzhang looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Can your body hold up right now?"
"I won't die," Min Tianyou chuckled lightly, "these injuries are all thanks to them; not returning the favor would be a bit hard to justify."
Yue Chengzhang gave Min Tianyou a once‑over, then finally nodded.
Min Tianyou smiled, casually picked up a cup full of water nearby, and poured all of it onto the ground before him.
The water did not seep into the land; instead, it condensed in midair into a series of irregular ice shards.
The ice shards linked together, forming a larger "screen," and within the shards mist seemed to begin flowing.
Gradually, a blurry image appeared—it looked like a mine tunnel branch that hadn't been completely blown apart, the space narrow, a ring of black mist like clouds wrapping Bai Mu Yun and Lu Mu inside.
It seemed those "black clouds" were preventing the cavern from collapsing further, giving the two a precarious shelter.
The two also seemed to be trapped somewhere underground by that sudden explosion.
The vision in the ice shards lasted less than ten seconds; with a crisp crack, the shards shattered into countless tiny ice crystals.
"It looks like they're still trapped underground; I just don't know whether the 'Flame City Cannon' will come to rescue them."
Min Tianyou's body also swayed when the ice shards broke, but Shen Zexi, quick‑eyed and quick‑handed, caught him.
"Co‑Absorption' are just a bunch of lunatics; lunatics not caring about their teammates' lives is completely normal."
Everyone wasn't really surprised, but they couldn't help feeling a bit sentimental.
"Immediately organize personnel to search, bring life‑detection devices, and upon finding the target, do not act rashly—notify me at once."
Yue Chengzhang immediately issued the order to the surrounding troops; the troops also looked somewhat excited, unlike the few who had first witnessed Min Tianyou's prophecy, they all knew how accurate his predictions were.
"Yes!" The team members sprang into action, each running faster than the last.
Qi Hengyu and Shen Zexi together helped Min Tianyou onto a nearby sickbed to rest; Qi Hengyu then glanced at the busy search team, his mouth twitching.
"That 'Flame City Cannon' caused such a huge commotion on its own, yet it almost buried its own allies."
"The infighting inside the Dome is far more complex than you imagine; for them, completing the mission may matter more than the lives of their personnel."
Min Tianyou lay on the temporary sickbed, his voice tinged with fatigue.
"If Captain Yue hadn't arrived in time, we'd all have been done for there."
"Come to think of it, Captain Yue, shouldn't you be holding down the Supervision Bureau?"
Shen Zexi also thought of that; Yue Chengzhang is stationed at the Supervision Bureau headquarters in Tianmian City, so even if he had rushed over the moment he received their distress signal, he shouldn't have gotten here this quickly, let alone pinpointed their exact location.
"Well...... I just happened to have a very strong Space‑type ability user visit, and she simply teleported me over."
"As for why I could find you...... I'm actually quite familiar with this place, after all I lived in this underground laboratory for several months back about eight or nine years ago."
