The sun hung high in the sky, directly baking the earth below.
Although the dark night had already passed, the event at the black market last night still left its effect on everyone.
On the square of the trade fair, an overseer yelled into a loudspeaker.
"All ability users of Chenxi Base listen: all vehicles of the base will depart in half an hour. If you miss it, please walk back to the base on your own. I repeat..."
Similar words were also broadcasted in the area of the residential buildings and other places where ability users frequented.
In a certain alley, a team was lying in wait to ambush.
Their actual strength wasn’t that high. But knowing that many teams were planning to kill and rob spatial ability holders, they thought they would simply wait and observe nearby, hoping that when the supplies explode out, they would be able to pick some up during the confusion.
"Captain, must we continue to wait?" One of the people looked up ignorantly.
Obviously, the base’s sudden action had spoiled their original plan.
The leader gritted his teeth. "Withdraw! If we have to walk back with our team’s strength, who knows how many times we die on the way back!"
Soon, those from Xiwang Base also released the same news, urgently summoning back their ability holders.
And so, those relatively weaker ability users who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity could only give up and head back. Whereas, the slightly stronger teams were relatively hesitant, resulting in some teams deciding to go back, while some others decided to stay behind
Either way, this time’s crisis risk index directly plummeted.
Although it was a measure taken by the base leaders to prevent too much casualty with their ability users, this was great news for those space ability holders. Some spatial holders directly got on their base's bus, using the base as a protective umbrella to ensure they’ll be able to get home safely
However, this was not an option for the more powerful spatial holders, as their strength implied that they had a much higher amount of supplies in their space. At that time, if ability users from some dark forces decide to sneak attack these base-affiliated buses, that just wouldn’t be pretty.
Knock knock knock.
An attendant who stood outside the door inquired with a mild tone, "Mr. Geng Yan, the base saw that a lot of people had yet to arrive at the buses and delayed the departure for 10 minutes. Please pack up your belongings and leave as soon as possible."
This was pure nonsense. The buses of the base hadn't waited for anyone at all and directly started driving away as soon as the time hit the mark.
And precisely because everyone from the base had withdrawn, there was now no one left guarding this temporary residential building.
The waiter looked around, and after he confirmed that no one was around, he placed his ear to the door.
The other side was very quiet with only the slight sound of the wind blowing through the curtains.
The attendant’s expression darkened, and he pushed open the door to go in.
The house was completely empty, the occupants had long departed without even a shadow left.
"D★mn it!" The attendant walked back out.
When he met back up with his companion, the other sighed, "There are several other exits here, Geng Yan’s group probably had left quite a while ago."
After disguising themselves, Geng Yan's team first sneakily dodged and avoided attention to arrive at a certain location, then drove away in a minibus.
As Ji Anran had previously already studied the nearby geography for his fishing expedition, it hadn’t been difficult to get to a safe place while avoiding everyone else’s eyes and ears.
The minibus drove along on the road, and so naturally, the surrounding scenery rapidly flew by, disappearing behind them.
Gao Xun was at the front of the car driving, feeling undeniably excited.
"Anran, our trip back probably wouldn’t be peaceful. Since you've been hiding your ability, without a doubt, you wouldn’t have had much of an opportunity to actually practice it. You don't have to worry. In this crisis, we definitely won't give up on our teammates. If you get injured because you aren’t familiar with your ability and thus reveal an opening, we will definitely protect you."
Ji Anran had grown up to appear weak and thin. So in Gao Xun's eyes, he was precisely just a poor, pitiful little thing.
The weakest person on the team precisely and can only be Anran. Moreover, Anran has also not lost his strongest support because Geng-ge has "broken up" with him, this friend with benefits... so he(GX), as a powerhouse, must protect Anran.
Hearing these words from the other person, Geng Yan really wanted to beat up this person’s dog head that was in front of him.
Even he has yet to say these endearing words of love, what is this other person doing, blabbering on like this!
Ji Anran’s mood was a bit complicated. "I am not as weak as you are imagining, I can protect myself. I just worried that Geng-ge..."
That Geng-ge was completely just a large target board!
"Sorry, I’ve brought everyone trouble this time. Anran..." Geng Yan reached out his hand and wrapped it around Ji Anran’s fair and tender hand. "Don't worry, we’ll be fine."
Wei Yanhua rolled his eyes. "Well, I say, Geng Yan, you can feel moved all you want but, you shouldn't use it as an opportunity to take advantage of others."
"Geng-ge, if anything happens, I won’t run away. I will protect you." Ji Anran lifted his eyes to look at the other, his eyes gleaming.
Geng Yan was ecstatic at heart, such that even his eyes had lit up.
"You used to always be so protective of me, no matter what, I should return the favor." Ji Anran said this while pulling his small hand back out from Geng Yan's hold.
Geng Yan, feeling extremely heart-rending: "...Anran, I..."
Without waiting for Geng Yan to finish his words, a ball of ice flew over and hit the ground, the resulting shards from the shatter flew off in every direction!
