homes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at this moment, news about \"transmigrating to the Wasteland\" and \"Oumuamua\" remains strictly sealed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before boarding, Yu Jin had gotten some information from Yin Yao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting tomorrow—once midnight passes—Daxia will enter a state of martial law and control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All transportation will begin to shut down, gradually ceasing operations by midnight on transmigration

they’ll educate 1.4 billion people on Wasteland World intel and survival knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao said nothing about the \"Oumuamua\" crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin speculates——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Yao is likely still being kept in the dark by Yin Shanhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During yesterday’s dinner, Yin Shanhai didn’t mention \"rebirth\" at all, but Yu Jin is fairly certain that the rebirth intelligence came from Yin Yao herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason is simple——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Wasteland\" game only appeared on September 2nd, as did the helmets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Yin Yao came to recruit him to the club on September 2nd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two timings are extremely close, almost simultaneous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the person reborn was just an ordinary citizen, even after reporting the intel, Yin Shanhai would likely need time to investigate and verify it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After verification, and with Yin Yao as his granddaughter, she’d only then learn, and based on the \"rebirth intel,\" take action to approach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’d definitely be a time lag in this process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the reborn person was Yin Yao herself, with her status and background, she could erase most of that time gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she wouldn’t need to wait for the verification results; she could immediately seek him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Yin Yao asking for his protection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin finds it perfectly reasonable—it’s just human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actions count, never motives; if you judge motives, nobody is pure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why Yin Shanhai is hiding info about \"Oumuamua\" from Yin Yao, Yu Jin cannot guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe it’s for personal reasons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He doesn’t want Yin Yao to worry about her family, so she’ll transmigrate to the Wasteland without hesitation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most likely, Elder Yin chose not to wear the helmet; he’s betting on the remaining non-transmigrators odds...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin muses inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he shakes his head and temporarily sets aside these messy thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowers his head and opens a file.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the document that Yin Shanhai handed him during last night’s dinner, containing all the Wasteland World intelligence gathered so far by Guo Jia’s forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The file is thick, packed with information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Jin hadn’t had time to look closely before; now, on the way to the nuclear waste facility, he can finally digest it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Wasteland World is not virtual;

barely registered on Indigenous People’s senses; they can’t even perceive new players appearing out of thin air when logging into
