Chapter 235: Emergency (I)

“And you are?”

Chen Yiming was confused.

He had already forgotten about what section chief Chen had told him about the exclusive contact person. After all, it was not something important to him.

The surrounding students from the martial arts academy and the old man were all shocked.

Liu Sujuan was wearing a police uniform, which meant that she was not a random person but a public official in Jiangnan City. Her appearance erased everyone’s doubts.

Trouble came from the mouth.

This also poured a bucket of cold water on the hearts of the ponytail girl and her female classmates. They felt cold and even a little guilty.

“I’m the bureau’s exclusive contact for you.”

Liu Sujuan came over and introduced herself.

At the same time, her watery eyes were fixed on Chen Yiming’s expression, afraid that he would reject her.

“I remember now. Section chief Chen told me about it.”

Chen Yiming nodded.

As soon as he said this, the students panicked.

In the end, the students of the martial arts academy were just students. Furthermore, the common choices for graduates of the martial arts academy were the city’s public security bureau, prison, and so on.

Jiangnan City was the capital city of a large coastal province. The competition for every official position was exceptionally fierce, and even a small stain in their record could lead to their eventual failure.

Liu Sujuan heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around and took out her security bureau identification card to show the people surrounding them, indicating for the students to stop watching them.

“What!”

This time, no student dared to stick around. After knowing the policewoman’s identity, they quickly left the scene.

Chen Yiming had not thought too highly of the security bureau. If not for the temptation of the method to break through to the master realm offered in the 100 members plan, he wouldn’t have thought much of it at all.

However, for the Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy, the authority of the security bureau was not something that the teachers of the martial arts academy could afford to offend, let alone the students.

Before he left, the old man led the female students to apologize to Chen Yiming carefully.

Chen Yiming didn’t mind it and waved them away. However, he didn’t have a good impression of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy.

This also stopped his thoughts of getting Chen Yingying to transfer to this school.

…

Another day passed by.

Cultivation was often more effective when one took breaks accordingly. Chen Yiming stayed in the guest house of the security bureau and checked on the situation.

On the television,

two experts of the otherworld were arguing about what had happened in Western Australia and explaining the current situation.

“Until now, humans are still at a very early stage in their exploration of the otherworld.

Other than drawing a map of the area around the human stronghold, the speed of expansion is almost at a standstill. Professor Li, what do you think is a good solution?” an old-looking professor asked.

“Professor Zhang, that’s a good question. I don’t think humans can maintain a defensive stance for long.

As everyone knows, the ranking of the cultivation environment from good to bad is in the order of the otherworld, near the space-travel passage on the blue planet, and other areas on the blue planet.

Since the wilderness is much larger than the human cities, the cultivation environment is also slightly better. If we don’t make any changes, the humans will be at a greater disadvantage,” Professor Li said sternly.

“Professor Li is right. The Daxia Kingdom understood this point, so we would rather take the risk of the situation changing drastically and forcefully get each province to set up a long-term stronghold in the otherworld.

However, how should we plan our actions? You have to know that mutant beasts still exist in the wilderness. It’s impossible for the human countries to all work together. What if we fall into a situation where we are attacked from both sides?” Professor Zhang nodded and asked.

“It’s better to deal with the situation quickly rather than to let it drag out. My opinion is that the human side must be rebuilt. With the space-travel passage to the stronghold in the otherworld as the core, we can rebuild the current structure of the cities and build a base for humanity.

Only by sending all the young geniuses to the otherworld to develop there would there be a chance to reverse the current situation,” Professor Li said.

“I understand what Professor Li is saying, but if we encounter an incident like the one in Western Australia, the base for humanity will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

At that time, with so many people gathered together, how would they deal with the enemies attacking the city? There might even be attacks from mutant beasts in the wilderness.”

Professor Zhang mentioned a loophole in the other party’s proposal.

The idea of building a base with the space-travel passage as the core had been proposed by the humans when the otherworld had first invaded.

There were many reasons why the plan had not come to pass. The main reason was that unless there were humans at the master realm to oversee the base long-term, they did not have the confidence to ensure the safety of the base.

However, there were only a limited number of human martial artists at the master realm. They also had to take care of their own cultivation and monitor the movements in the otherworld. They could not stay in the base for the long term.

“The humans are indeed stronger than the mutant beasts, but compared to the mutant beasts on the entire blue planet, our total strength at the lower-level and higher-level is completely at a disadvantage, let alone compared to the otherworld.

In such a situation, how could there be a solution that carries no risk? Unless an existence beyond the master realm appears on the human side, that is,” Professor Li explained.

Similar to how the various races of mutant beasts could not join forces, because of the difference in strength of human forces of different nations, it was also impossible for the human countries to join forces.

In this stalemate, having a single savior was indeed the best solution. However, from the day of the invasion of the otherworld, this person had yet to appear.

…

Chen Yiming fell into deep thought after watching the program.

The intentions of Daxia Kingdom were very obvious. In the early stages, the provinces would mobilize the high-level martial arts forces to establish a stronghold. After that, the establishment of the base would probably be quickly put on the agenda.

Although Chen Yiming was confident in his ability to surpass the master realm, he needed time. He didn’t know how long this would take.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Yiming opened the door and saw Liu Sujuan who was breathing heavily.

“There’s an emergency by the sea. We need your help, Consultant Chen,” Liu Sujuan said anxiously.

“Let’s talk as we walk.”

Chen Yiming nodded.

To obtain the method to break through to the master realm, Chen Yiming needed to make contributions to the bureau. He had also just obtained a new and stronger ability, the Sword Aura. A mission was exactly what he needed at this moment.

When they left the guest house, there were already special military vehicles waiting for them. The military vehicles roared out and soon arrived at a wide lawn in the government district.

There was a helicopter waiting there. The pilot was already in position, the engine roaring and the rotors spinning. He was ready to take off.

Because the airspace was not affected by the traffic on the road, the helicopter arrived at its destination in less than 10 minutes.

Chen Yiming felt the heavy atmosphere the moment he alighted from the helicopter.

The beach had already been cordoned off by the military. More than 1,000 soldiers were stationed a few hundred meters away from the beach. The machine guns had been set up, and a row of tanks had also raised their cannons. The missile trucks were also in position.

Not only that, but other troops could also be seen along the distant coastline.

Every unit was prepared to attack, which meant that the problem was not simple. The enemy was coming from the sea where they could hide at will.
