Chapter 176 Ripples
Ruan Zilu packed her luggage quickly, and the Ruan family had already sent a car to pick her up.
"Then I'll go first. Are you really not coming back with me?" she asked Xi Yu. Wei Zi hadn't come back after going out last night, and Xi Yu was all alone after she left, so she specially invited her to go back together.
"No, don't worry, go back home. I can manage on my own." Xi Yu smiled, took her luggage, and saw her out.
"Alright then... take care of yourself." Ruan Zilu took the luggage and waved with a smile.
After Ruan Zilu left, the room suddenly became quiet.
Xi Yu was planning to go out for a walk when she received a call request message.
It was an unfamiliar terminal number, one she had never seen before, but she vaguely felt that it was a call message sent by Yan San.
Her fingers paused slightly, and after considering for a few seconds, she answered the phone.
"Good morning."
Yan San's unique, cool voice rang out.
"Is there anything wrong, Major Yan?" she asked, her tone slightly indifferent.
"The mutated core you brought last night has been confirmed to be different from other mutated species. It not only possesses a certain level of intelligence, but it has also been implanted with a special command. However, it seems that the technology is insufficient to make it effective," he said calmly.
"An order?" Xi Yu was slightly taken aback, then frowned slightly. "Could it be that someone is planning to create an obedient army of mutants...?"
"It is very likely that if this technology is perfected, the first victims will be the people of the Empire," Yan San said in a deep voice.
The Amas Forest is located on the border of the Empire, and its depths are home to a considerable number of mutant species and many usable animals, posing a significant threat to the people of the Empire.
Although troops are stationed along the border year-round, it is still necessary to eliminate the danger in advance for security reasons.
"Reports from the border guard say that there have been several sightings of people from the neighboring country in the forest over the past month, but their motives are unclear. In order to completely eliminate the potential threat, we have launched a full sweep operation into the Amas forest starting last night."
As Yan San spoke, faint bird calls could be heard, indicating that he was currently in the Amas Forest.
Xi Yu was taken aback. Was he... telling her this on purpose?
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke: "Wait for me to come back. I have something important to tell you."
Today he can break off the engagement and pursue her without breaking his vow.
Xi Yu didn't know what he wanted to say, and for a moment she didn't respond.
"That's all for now, goodbye." He smiled gently, without saying anything more.
"...Be careful." Xi Yu finally managed to squeeze out a sentence. She realized that not only had Yan San started talking strangely, but she had also been affected.
After the call ended, Xi Yu looked out the window at the sky. It was a cloudy day with a high chance of rain. Hopefully, it wouldn't interfere with the legion on their mission.
Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Xi Yu, who had nothing to do, simply went to Lieutenant Colonel Yu Hao, who was still at school, and applied for the right to enter the virtual practice room so that she could have a good experience of piloting a spaceship.
Lieutenant Colonel Yu Hao didn't make things difficult for her; instead, he kindly gave her a special pass, allowing her to enter the practice room at any time without restriction.
After spending four hours in the practice room, Xi Yu went back to her dormitory to change her clothes and headed to the place she had arranged to meet Fu Baili, Zi Teng Ju.
