In the real world, at this moment.
Seeing Lin Ran disappear into the void with the seven-colored light sphere, Destroyer Razor went mad and rushed to the place where Lin Ran's divine might had retreated.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not glean the slightest trace of Lin Ran and the other person.
These two people seemed to have vanished into thin air, evaporating so completely.
Destroyer Razor, unwilling to believe it, searched back and forth for a long time, finally showing an expression of utter despair.
It seemed he had truly lost the light sphere this time and caused a huge disaster!
This light sphere was originally intended to be the core of their teleportation array...
He had already stood on the stone pillar, overseeing the ritual for the establishment of the teleportation array.
In no time, the prototype of the teleportation array would be formed, and the elite troops of their Lightning Element tribe would be able to pour in through it.
But he never expected a dark horse to appear halfway, taking his array core in an almost impossible way and ruining their tribe's plan...
If he returned to the Lightning Element tribe using the single-person teleportation array in such disgrace, he would surely be skinned alive by the Thunder King!
The mere thought of the divine punishment that the Thunder King might mete out made Destroyer Razor tremble all over.
No! Even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he had to find this array core!
Even if he were to die, he would die in the Fú Lóng Mountains!
With a look of determination, Destroyer Razor activated his sky-shattering thunder and soon disappeared from the area.
...
Qīng Jīng.
Ninth Military Region.
Headquarters.
Looking at Zhao Wudi, who was full of grief before him, Du Jun's expression became extremely grim.
"You're saying Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan were separated during the beast tide, and the three researchers have also all died?"
Zhao Wudi's voice became even lower:
"Moreover, Xiao Qi and I detected an even more terrifying piece of news..."
Du Jun gritted his teeth:
"Speak!"
Zhao Wudi took out a device resembling a pocket watch from his embrace and handed it to Du Jun.
Du Jun took it and slammed the table, incredulously exclaiming:
"A beast tide riot and positioning device exclusive to the alien races?!"
"Where did you find this?"
Zhao Wudi sighed:
"After our team was scattered by the beast tide, I accidentally found it in a ditch."
"This thing should be the truth behind this beast tide."
"Besides this, I also worked with technicians to intercept a secret email sent by the Dark Elves to the Lightning Element tribe."
As he spoke, Zhao Wudi produced another electronic information box and placed it on the table in front of Du Jun.
Du Jun opened the screen and his heart sank. He slumped back into his chair, rubbing his throbbing forehead, and murmured:
"A teleportation array to support a million Lightning Element troops..."
"How is this possible?"
"They could never find the array core item to support such a massive energy!"
Zhao Wudi gently shook his head:
"Commander Du, there is actually one..."
"Although that item is extremely rare, it is not impossible to obtain."
"Furthermore, these Lightning Elements may have even modified that item..."
"After the modification, it should still be barely able to support it."
Du Jun could no longer sit still:
"Order all military regions stationed in Qīng Jīng to enter Level One combat readiness!"
"All soldiers of the Third, Sixth, and Ninth Military Regions are to proceed immediately to the Fú Lóng Mountains."
"Also, issue a bounty to all awakened individuals currently within contact range near the Fú Lóng Mountains!"
"As long as they can successfully stop the Lightning Elements' plan, the military region will specially grant..."
At this point, Du Jun gritted his teeth:
"A special SSS-rank reward!"
"Make the arrangements!"
Upon hearing this, the nearby officers and soldiers gasped.
Even Zhao Wudi, who was secretly plotting, showed a look of longing.
SSS-rank reward?!
If they had known, the resources that could be obtained from such a reward would likely be of national-level significance!
There were countless items with heaven-defying effects.
Even super experts could not refuse them.
Without accomplishing some great feat, it would be impossible to obtain.
And now, this opportunity might only belong to those lucky ones near the Fú Lóng Mountains...
No, not necessarily lucky ones.
After all, this matter was of great importance, and the Lightning Elements would definitely have top experts guarding them.
Rushing there blindly might lead to death without even knowing how.
Du Jun sighed faintly:
"Although the possibility of disrupting their teleportation gate plan in advance is slim, we have to try..."
"Now I just don't know about Lin Ran and Luo..."
Just then, a communication soldier ran to the door in a panic and shouted:
"Report, there is an extremely urgent situation!"
Du Jun's face twitched.
Judging by the communication soldier's tone, it seemed like it wasn't good news either!
Damn it! Why do all these troublesome things happen at once?
"Enter!"
Du Jun said sternly.
The communication soldier first panted heavily, then said with a sorrowful face:
"Commander Du, just now, a very unfavorable situation has occurred..."
"In our network monitoring, about 10 minutes ago, the two special recruits from Yàn University who participated in the special team..."
"Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan have lost their biological chip signals!"
Generally speaking, the signals from biological chips could not be detected by others.
However, during this mission, Lin Ran and Luo Qingyan had also, according to military practice, undergone a signal backup with a biological chip with a validity period of one week.
Du Jun's face changed drastically, and he immediately stood up and slammed the table:
"What did you say?"
"I heard they both possessed inexhaustible life-saving skills and various heaven-defying items for protection. How could this happen?"
The communication soldier panted again and said with a wry smile:
"We don't know what happened, but that's the fact..."
"However, Commander Du, you don't need to worry too much. They may not have sacrificed yet."
"It's possible that they were subjected to an extremely violent impact, causing the biological chip in their brains to be damaged."
"Such intelligent things as biological chips, even if damaged, will only dissipate into light and flow out of the brain without harming the brain."
"After all, when they were installed, they also entered the brain as flowing light."
Du Jun took a deep breath:
"Contact Yàn University first..."
"Even if they are not dead now, their condition is likely not good."
"If something were to happen to these two, we would probably have to prepare to face the wrath of Principal Ma and the five department heads..."
