Chapter 1714: Level Four Emergency Response!

Zhang He reported Zhang Song the preliminary test results on Zhang San, and informed him of Xia Qing's plan, obtaining Zhang Song's permission.

Then Xia Qing called Yue Haiying, deputy director of the Ninth Center, and gave direct orders: "Brother Yue, Third Brother was attacked and is unconscious; he absolutely cannot be disturbed by noise before waking naturally. Territory Seven has activated Level One protocol and must strengthen its outer perimeter defense. Immediately arrange 150 people to hold the outer perimeter of Territory Seven. No grenades or other high-noise thermal weapons allowed; firearms must have suppressors installed. Without Brother Song's personal permission, no person or domesticated beast may enter or leave—violators will be silently eliminated. Keep it classified."

To surround Territory Seven, someone had to enter Territory Six and guard the boundary line between Territory Seven and Territory Six.

"Understood. In position within fifteen minutes. At any cost, silently eliminate unauthorized intruders and escapees." Protecting Zhang San was a critical duty of Ninth Center personnel. Yue Haiying immediately accepted the order, then commanded the Ninth Center security squad and construction team to assemble urgently and rush to Territory Seven.

The second call—Xia Qing called Alliance Vice Leader Qi Fu, putting him in charge of alliance affairs, and notified Territory Six to the west and Territory Fifteen to the south of Territory Seven to coordinate with the Ninth Center personnel's operation.

The third call—Xia Qing called Xin Yu, asking her to send out domesticated birds to patrol the surrounding airspace.

The fourth call went to Tang Huai, the fifth to Huo Zhun...

After finishing the calls, Xia Qing lowered her head and quickly @-ed all members in the Blue Star Alliance group chat, posting an announcement:

"My most important human companion—Territory Seven's lord Zhang San has been attacked and is in a deep coma. He cannot be disturbed by high-decibel noise during the day today, or his life will be in danger. @Fourth, you're in charge of patrolling the southern wolf pack and western tiger pack territories; @Broken-Waist, you're in charge of patrolling the northern wolf pack, western wolf pack, and northern bear pack territories. If you spot intruders or suspicious humans or domesticated beasts, immediately post your location and an announcement in the group. @Her Majesty, could you send a few wolves with evolved hearing and smell to serve as hidden sentries in the southern part of Area Five on Mountain Forty-Nine and the southwestern part of Peak One on Mountain Fifty, to help Zhang Hongda and Huo Zhun hold the northern and western borders of Territory Seven?"

Broken-Waist Wolf quickly replied: Understood.

Fourth, who never replied in the group, replied: Understood.

The Northern Wolf King, who likewise never spoke in the group, sent a little wolf-girl-sniffing-screen sticker with a solemn expression.

Xia Qing immediately responded: @Her Majesty, I'm safe. I'm protecting unconscious Third Brother. The increased patrols and defense in Evolution Forest are just precautionary.

While Xia Qing was arranging the outer perimeter defense, Tan Junjie received Territory Seven's assistance request. He shut down the broadcast speakers and ground communication base stations in Northern Area One, severing all communication between territories outside Territory Seven and the outside world. The four iron gates of Northern Area One were simultaneously locked down—no entry or exit without approval.

Third minute after communications were cut: the protective shield outside Territory Seven's laser cannon silently opened, the cannon muzzle rose, ready to destroy any suspicious target entering Territory Seven's airspace.

Fifth minute: three domesticated birds from Territory Eight took off simultaneously, heading to their respective patrol zones.

Seventh minute: Tang Huai brought his disciple Wen Nengjie into Territory Twenty-Three. The surface reason was to stand beneath the south road sign of Territory Twenty-Three and watch what Tan Junjie's team was up to; in reality, he was keeping a close eye on the Blue Blood spy—nurse Tao Ying.

Eighth minute: the Hui-Three Base Commander ordered: the airspace above the fifty-li area surrounding Northern Area One is designated a no-fly zone. All Hui-Three military and combat-team personnel on missions in this area are to immediately abort their original missions and stand by in place.

Ninth minute: Shi Youning and the two children, along with two evolved Border Collies, returned to the fortress and closed the doors and windows. Wu Chengyu remained in the Territory Seven laboratory, which had first-class soundproofing and protection, fully focused on improving medical equipment.

Tenth minute: all members of the Northern Area One Territory Alliance—including the Ninth Center—received notification from Vice Alliance Leader Qi Fu that the entirety of Northern Area One had entered a silent state, with no machinery emitting high-decibel noise to be used. Territory Six and Territory Fifteen immediately began inspecting for hidden hazards, ensuring no noise above 100 decibels would be emitted.

Eleventh minute: three retired special-forces soldiers from Territory Eleven left the territory fully armed. Two of them infiltrated the outer perimeter of Territory Seven, joining the Ninth Center guard squad as hidden sentries; one followed Tan Junjie out of Northern Area One.

Thirteenth minute: Tan Junjie led his team to surround the sixty-five accompanying personnel and bodyguards of the inspection experts in the southern part of Southern Area One territory, who had already packed up their tents and supplies and were preparing to depart, and disarmed them.

Fifteenth minute: two hundred Ninth Center veterans, carrying weapons and equipment, dispersed outside Territory Seven's boundary line.

Twentieth minute: Handsome Giant Wolf led four main battle wolves of the northern wolf pack into Area Five of Mountain Forty-Nine and Peak One of Mountain Fifty. The communication wolf carrying a phone—Little Wolf Brother—lay down beside Handsome Giant Wolf.

Thirty-third minute: a helicopter landed on the ruins of a town five kilometers south of Northern Area One territory. Little Wolf Brother immediately took a photo and posted it in the group, @-ing Xia Qing.

The message was sent from Broken-Waist Wolf's phone, but the helicopter's landing spot was not in the area patrolled by the northern wolf pack—Broken-Waist Wolf wouldn't make such a mistake. Xia Qing guessed that the one leading the northern wolf pack members on the Area Five of Mountain Forty-Nine patrol mission was probably Little Wolf Brother or Little Wolf Sister; Broken-Waist Wolf should be patrolling the western wolf pack or northern bear pack territory right now.

Xia Qing replied in the group: @Broken-Waist, received. The people on that helicopter are my human companions; they've come to provide support. Confirmed safe.

Broken-Waist (Little Wolf Brother): Received.

Forty-fifth minute: Hui-Three Base Commander Qi Zhongye and the 1223 Major Explosion Case investigation team dispatched by Red Eleven to Hui-Three Base, leading Hui-Three Base's best medical team, entered Northern Area One territory through the south gate.

Seventy-third minute: Missing-Ear Wolf, wearing protective gear and carrying a phone, arrived at the foot of Peak Four on Mountain Forty-Nine and let out a low howl. Piece Tiger, who had been sunbathing on a rock, opened his eyes, stood up, and turned back into the mountain cave.

Seventy-fifth minute: a helicopter bearing the Hui City Emergency Medical Rescue markings, escorted by two military helicopters, took off from the Hui-One Base safe zone and headed for Hui-Three Northern Area One territory.

Ninety-first minute: a large helicopter bearing the National Emergency Medical Rescue markings, escorted by two military aircraft, took off from the inner city of the Red One Base safe zone—the Hua Nation's main base.

On the Red One helicopter, Jiao Duo—the nationally dispatched team-leading expert of the national medical team heading to Territory Seven, chairman of the Hua Nation Society of Neurology's committee, and specialist in neurometabolism and cognitive disorders—contacted Zhang Song through the 1223 Major Explosion Case investigation team and applied to view the surveillance footage of the incident in Territory Seven's conference room.

Seeing Guo Qingbin suddenly lose control and clutch his head screaming in the footage, Jiao Duo confirmed that Guo Qingbin had violated regulations by using his same-frequency evolution ability on the protected special talent Fu Tianfeng.

Truly...

Jiao Duo pressed his throbbing temples, thought for a few seconds, and picked up his phone.

Two hours fifteen minutes: the helicopter sent from Hui City main base, escorted and monitored by four Hui-Three armed helicopters, landed at the temporary airfield in the town ruins south of Hui-Three Northern Area One. After undergoing strict inspection, the Hui City Base emergency response team and medical team took patrol vehicles from the inspection team and headed for Northern Area One territory.

Three hours fifteen minutes: while Blue Blood spy Tao Ying in Territory Twenty-Three was sending out Morse code, she was pinned down by Tang Huai's bodyguards, injected with a sedative, and handed over to danger-inspection team leader Tan Junjie.

Five hours forty-five minutes: the large helicopter from Red City, likewise escorted and monitored by Hui-Three armed helicopters, landed on the town ruins. Jiao Duo's medical team from Hua Nation First Hospital and Red One University underwent inspection, then drove into Northern Area One territory.

Six hours ten minutes: a special investigation team composed of thirty-three national-level, Hui City main base-level, and Hui-Three base-level investigators, inside a tent set up on Territory Seven's access road, once again carefully analyzed the incident footage.

In the adjacent tent, a treatment team composed of thirty-one medical experts at the national, Hui City base, and Hui-Three base levels all stared intently at six display screens.

The two big shots remained in a coma. The treatment team members' brain nerves pulsed along with the eerie data and curves on the screens.
