Chapter 599: 342: Responding and Returning to Reality
“Although we can’t be sure if the intensity index represents the strength of Heavenly People, we can’t be unprepared.”
“So, we must rely on limited manpower to allocate combat areas and strive to achieve this in the shortest time—”
In the underground research institute, Li Wuji was preparing to assign action personnel.
But halfway through his speech, his voice abruptly paused.
Seemingly hearing something,
A surprised look flashed across Li Wuji’s face.
His gaze swept imperceptibly through the crowd.
As Chen Sheng passed by,
He looked at the affirmation in his expression.
Li Wuji pondered for a brief moment, his expression quickly recovered, and continued with his previous speech.
A total of twenty-one fluctuation points.
Other than the necessary personnel who stay behind, the rest were divided into teams of two or three, and went to intercept the energy fluctuations together with combat team members.
If the Heavenly People really appeared, whether these people could intercept them successfully, Li Wuji didn’t know.
All he knew was,
In some things, someone must always be there to do it.
Whether it can be done or not is one thing.
Whether to do it,
Is another matter.
What reassured Li Wuji was,
The high-level Martial Arts Association members standing in front of him now, even if they already had a deep enough understanding of the power of Heavenly People,
When they heard that he was sending them to intercept the Heavenly People,
Not a single person’s face showed fear or hesitation.
“That’s it.”
“If there are no objections, let’s get to work immediately.”
“We have other arrangements for the remaining fluctuation points.”
“Based on the estimate, these energy fluctuations will peak in about three hours.”
“That’s when the outcome will be determined.”
Li Wuji’s eyes swept across the solemn faces.
He didn’t say anything to inspire them.
He believed that these people in front of him didn’t need that either.
Because all those who could stand here,
Had been prepared for a long time now.
Li Wuji just gave a slight smile.
“Gentlemen.”
“See you in a while.”
As his voice fell.
A breeze swept through.
Facing the possibly imminent arrival of Heavenly People,
No one was in the mood for sentimentality.
In the blink of an eye,
There were only four people left in the entire research institute.
Li Wuji, Sun Yihe, Chen Sheng,
And the researcher who had been introduced to everyone earlier.
He was an old man in a white coat, who was in charge of the research institute.
“Old Wang, go ahead.”
“Staying here is still not safe enough.”
Li Wuji looked at the old man.
The Martial Arts Association’s shelter measures had never stopped.
To this day,
Half of the common people had already been moved into the shelter.
The remaining people were all led to locations far away from the Land of Heavenly Persons.
Although it was difficult,
Li Wuji and the Martial Arts Association had never given up on trying to save everyone.
Now he was persuading the old man to follow the other researchers into Kyoto’s underground shelter.
“No need.”
However,
The old man just chuckled and waved his hand.
“Machines are ultimately just machines.”
“Even if their chances of making mistakes are extremely slim, I don’t want to put my hope on that.”
“You don’t have to worry about me.”
Hearing this,
Li Wuji, who knew the personality of the research institute’s leader, didn’t choose to persuade him further.
He just whispered his thanks.
“Old Li, what are your plans, after all?”
At this time,
Sun Yihe came to the screen.
Doubt emerged from his mouth.
Compared to others, Sun Yihe had a deeper understanding of the current situation.
Among the twenty-one fluctuation reactions,
Six are handled by other countries,
The Martial Arts Association’s available personnel went to seven energy points in total.
Thirteen fluctuation points,
Belonged to the weaker strength level.
As for the eight strongest ones….
Couldn’t they really only rely on the military and human lives to buy time?
But if that’s the strategy, the military should also be dealing with the lower fluctuation reactions.
If those terrifyingly strong Heavenly People rushed to other locations for reinforcement,
The consequences would be unbearable for them, for the humans.
No matter how Sun Yihe racked his brains, he couldn’t figure out the reason for Li Wuji’s actions.
Facing his question,
Li Wuji didn’t answer, but just looked at Chen Sheng.
“Chen Sheng, are you confident?”
When the words were spoken,
Sun Yihe’s gaze was immediately drawn.
Could it be…
His eyes slowly widened.
He subconsciously felt it was impossible.
But at that moment,
Chen Sheng responded.
His expression unchanged,
As if just talking about a trivial matter.
“Don’t worry.”
“I’ll handle those eight.”
“If time permits, I’ll deal with the remaining thirteen as well.”

By his side,
There was an endless white light, constantly trying to invade his body, trying to erode his soul.
Brushing past,
Were the turbulence capable of dissolving bone and devouring flesh.
Wing walked through this.
His face was only determined.
The scarlet stream of light covered his body like a protective layer.
It was a gift from the leader of Heavenly People, the King.
Making him have a power far stronger than that of Second Generation Heavenly People, capable of traversing through the space-time turbulence.
It also gave him the capital for revenge.
As he moved forward,
Wing could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the real world.
Not so long ago, memories flashed through his mind.
The pain of being constantly beaten by Chen Sheng,
The indifference from above,
And,
The fear in his heart when Chen Sheng revealed his strength.
Wing felt as if he had returned to the tomb.
