Free Web NovelChapter 2462: Chapter 2463: Good News, Bad News
Looking at the giant pit, Qi Chen and the others exchanged helpless smiles, realizing only after their anger subsided what they had actually done.
Feng Yuan said nothing, stepping forward to pat Qi Chen on the back, smiled at Dou Yanlan and said
"Don’t worry, that thing should be completely gone."
"Yes... we... they... should be liberated, right?"
Yang Hongzhi choked as he spoke. How could he not know what that thing was, or rather, precisely because he understood, he was so angry.
"Probably. Let’s go and see if there are any survivors, besides, this place needs to be restored to its original environment."
Pointing to the crimson sky, Feng Yuan said, although he didn’t know if anyone survived this disaster, their purpose in coming here was to save people, now was not the time to stand still and grieve.
Calming his excited emotions, Dou Yanlan dusted off nonexistent dust from his clothes and looked at the pit and said
"Let’s go!"
Perhaps because of the Flesh Giant Mountain, this time, Qi Chen and the others were more proactive than Feng Yuan. Despite knowing their power was inferior to Feng Yuan’s, they still walked ahead of him, their sharp gaze constantly scanning the surroundings of ruined buildings, trying to catch the person hidden somewhere within the Imperial Timeline.
However, within the entire Baiman City area, there were only three Flesh Giant Mountains, so for a time, Feng Yuan and the others only saw the desolate city and barren streets without a single human being.
"No enemies, and... no living people either."
Checking the time on his phone, Qi Chen muttered absent-mindedly. Is this what war is? Even if it wasn’t all-out war, it already...
"It’s a bit of good news, isn’t it?"
Veronia looked at Feng Yuan and said. Nodding, Feng Yuan touched his chin and said
"What we need to do now is quickly deal with all the enemies within the downtown area of Baiman City. Tamur, once we handle the external traps later, could I trouble you to temporarily cover this area with the Mythical Era?"
After the Parallel World war, Feng Yuan discovered that Tamur had the special ability to temporarily unfold an alternate space. Although the brief arrival of the Mythical Era would occupy most of Tamur’s power, Feng Yuan considered this a necessary move.
Yang Hongzhi, confused, gazed at Feng Yuan and asked
"What kind of good news is this? No one! Not a single soul left!"
"Well, theoretically, the composite structure of Twisted Sinide’s runes is equal in volume to the sum of the creatures it devours. If there really is no one left, we wouldn’t have encountered a second composite structure."
"This feature is possessed by most biological fusions. However, the fact that you can think of this, huh, the Mythical Era indeed knows no bounds, right?"
Glancing at Veronia, Feng Yuan didn’t question the events of the Mythical Era, smiling. Veronia agreed with Feng Yuan’s speculation naturally because, in the Mythical Era, Divine Beings had done similar things, allowing her to judge that there were still survivors.
Hearing these words, everyone’s spirits were lifted. Dou Yanlan thought of something and said
"Data Domain?!"
"Hard to say, Maomu City is a city that extensively studies Data Domain; Baiman City here, who knows what the situation was. Although there are many signs of battle, if they were infiltrated from the inside at the start, the Data City might not be safe either."
Regarding Dou Yanlan’s hypothesis, Feng Yuan wasn’t sure either. Although theoretically, it’s likely they hid in the Data City, it might not be factual. Ordinary people transferring into the Data City takes time, and the Data City isn’t an unbreakable fortress either.
The enemy possesses runes of Twisted Sinide, forcibly breaking the basic defenses of the Data City is not impossible.
But seeing no more Flesh Giant Mountains at the moment, the possibility of other survivors is not low. Feng Yuan didn’t believe they’d abandon any exploitable "resources".
No bad news is the best good news; however, the situation with the Data Domain is complex. Feng Yuan also didn’t plan to enter now, at least not temporarily.
If the Data Domain is engaged in a defensive battle, their rash entry might offer their side an advantage, but if their advance causes their side’s defensive line to collapse, Feng Yuan himself may not mind, but Qi Chen and the others probably couldn’t accept it.
That’s precisely why Feng Yuan had said those words to Tamur. Under the Mythical Era’s cover, this area would completely fall under Tamur’s control. Thus, they can effectively avoid the situation where the Data City has already completed its defense lockdown, yet their intrusion causes the defensive line to collapse, allowing enemies from the Imperial Timeline to invade first.
During the time Feng Yuan and the others searched for survivors, Agunas and the others successfully "transcended" the Flesh Giant Mountain. Unlike Qi Chen and his group, the rescue team, although equally angry, managed to restrain themselves well.
No matter how much they vent on the White Bone Mountain, it will only destroy their city. They hadn’t forgotten that this place is their own city, Baiman City.
If anything ought to be destroyed, it should, and must, be on the territory of the Imperial Timeline!
"It’s not exactly good, nor exactly bad news."
Receiving news from the Divine Beasts’ intelligence network, Agunas looked up at the sky. Since Feng Yuan and his team were cleaning the ground, let them handle the crimson sky.
Initially opposed to Agunas’s proposal to clean Baiman City’s environment, the rescue team prioritized rescuing people, while restoring the environment of Baiman City was a follow-up task.
However, upon understanding the situation with Feng Yuan’s side and the intangible hope, they changed their minds immediately. If their entry into the Data Domain leads to the enemy seizing the opportunity to assault the Data City, they themselves would never forgive their own actions.
To eliminate this risk, cleaning up Baiman City is essential, and relying solely on Feng Yuan and his team would not be efficient.
With these thoughts, they couldn’t help but agree to Agunas’s proposal, starting with clearing the sky.
The appearance of the third Flesh Giant Mountain had some impact on Feng Yuan and his team. However, amid continuous cleaning, they didn’t encounter more Flesh Giant Mountains, which granted Qi Chen and the others immense hope, making their efficiency even higher than Feng Yuan’s.
The Starry Sky replaced the crimson firmament, the stars in the black night sky seemed dimmed due to the events in Baiman City, yet this couldn’t conceal the anticipation in everyone’s hearts.
Tamur glanced at Qi Chen and the others and said
"Since that’s the case, shall I start now?"
"Thanks a lot."
With a helpless smile, Feng Yuan scratched his head and said. If it were solely up to him, Feng Yuan felt that resting before proceeding with the next action would be better. But Qi Chen and the others clearly couldn’t wait that long, not to mention that Agunas’s rescue team felt the same.
With that in mind, Tamur would have to endure a little longer.
Golden streamers gradually enveloped the entire ruins of Baiman City. In the process of clearing traps, unavoidable damage was caused to those empty buildings. Even Feng Yuan had no choice because the traps set by those fellows were too numerous and chaotic. It’s not impossible to avoid damaging buildings, but the cost is much greater time spent.
Not just Qi Chen and the others, even Feng Yuan couldn’t compromise on this; at this point, obviously, there was not that much time to waste.
After a while, the surroundings were replaced by the Mythical Era environment. Tamur looked at Feng Yuan and said
"This area is now under my control, no enemies, yet... I need to stay here."
"Hmm, that’s because you must maintain the Mythical Era Projection, right? Alright, this place is yours. We’ll first check out the situation in the Data Domain."
Feng Yuan didn’t think further, immediately instructing Qi Chen and the others to prepare, since the Data Domain’s situation concerns how many survivors are left in Baiman City.
Watching the busy Feng Yuan and Veronia, Tamur gently swayed. The situation in that place was somewhat delicate. Had it not been for the large coverage of the Mythical Era, Tamur wouldn’t even have noticed that place.
However, the current situation there is stable, this matter should wait until Feng Yuan and the others return from the Data City.
As for how Feng Yuan and the others would enter the Data City? Although they didn’t have a Data System Divine Beast, Divine beasts can use their ultimate moves from non-native lineages. Even if Big Cat isn’t around, with Veronia and Long Boduo joining forces, infiltrating the Data City wouldn’t be an issue.
Watching the data domain’s gate open, Feng Yuan rushed inside first.
