Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 1240 - 626: What Sets Man Apart from Beasts? (Part 2)

In the distance, beneath the blazing sun, the heavens gradually darkened, shrouded in ominous clouds, a towering giant tree emitted a radiant glow, faintly growing clearer...

In the Forest Country, the Wolf Evil sang joyfully.

Muffled explosions and thunderous roars swayed in the wind, the earth subtly trembled, and around the periphery of the lockdown, layers of barbed wire were just erected, with people constantly attempting to breach the checkpoints.

Not from inside out, but from outside in.

People were trying to rush inside.

The vast majority, inspired by the call of the Blood Thirst syndrome, instinctively sought to return to the Forest Country—the infected...

Although the internal lockdown was as solid as a rock, the external interception could only be described as better than nothing.

The lockdown area was almost half the size of Hai Province, with a complex terrain filled with mountains and rivers, such a wide area made the barbed wire and checkpoints seem like purely decorative, ineffective tools.

Similarly, no concern was given.

Ji Jue's steps paused momentarily, then carried onward.

Since arriving in Central Earth, while constantly reshaping his worldviews, he gradually learned a universally applied principle that worked in a muddy pit—faced with a complex situation, when encountering any incomprehensible foolishness, focus not on the process or execution, but on the outcome.

Focus on what the outcome truly is.

And now, the initial outcome had already materialized before him.

If the Empire and Federation were indeed prepared, why was the frontline base so heavily impacted during the first wave of assault?

Furthermore, how could the prominent frontline base be so empty that night? Including Tong Shan, all Security Bureau members were out on missions, and in the command center, apart from leaving the Heavenly Essence Law for defense, there wasn't even a single Heavenly Person to oversee?

And what's more, a Wolf snuck inside...

Isn't this somewhat too preposterous?

Or is it... from the beginning, such a vast frontline base was merely a facade thrown out to attract fire, a decoy—an expendable pawn?

A consumable?

If such were the case, then it is completely comprehensible.

Since it's expendable, then there's no need to invest excessive energy and effort, putting on a show suffices, even if it's shattered, if not entirely obliterated, it can be pieced together for reuse.

It's not that our forces weren't trying hard, but the locals were just too unscrupulous, who could have guessed it?

Everyone saw it, my losses were also severe!

There were seventy-two of my clan killed by the Wolf, their bodies were shoveled out by carts... A reciprocal response seems quite normal, isn't it?

Of course, the premise of all this is naturally that the Federation and Empire were indeed prepared.

Then, regardless of whether it is so or not, first ask if there is evidence.

Does such a thing exist?

Ji Jue doesn't know, but when it comes to something like this, hasn't either the Federation or Empire done it less? In terms of reputation, these distinguished entities have never once disappointed Ji Jue.

No matter how maliciously he speculates, he's never able to match the bottom line of both sides; should Ji Jue then believe in true goodness and beauty?

Fine, take a step back, even if neither side was prepared!

Then prior to this inevitable issue, he has a more critical question...

—How did Shekri escape that night?!

Come on, you are supposed to be the Heavenly Yuan!

The Federation and Empire, representatives of the Heavenly Yuan Dual Polarity, two great forces, the entire garrison of Tower City, so many Heavenly People, not to mention Hunter Finger and Horned Cave as the main forces, even assisting alongside couldn't capture Shekri?

Was it really necessary?!

Could they not capture, or were they unwilling to capture?

What made both sides, despite Shekri potentially having pilfered a Fusion Bomb, still not willing to go all out to eliminate such a roadside threat?

Couldn't be simply because he still had a use, could it?

What use could he possibly have, oh, right, he seemed capable of spreading the Blood Thirst syndrome too, how coincidental, we didn't expect this—one Shekri ran off, ended up wreaking such havoc, putting the people of White Country in jeopardy, how terrifying!

It's incredibly... unfortunate, without us needing to slaughter, the trouble with White Country seems to be self-resolving. Pity, this issue was discovered way too early, otherwise, it wouldn't have been such a hassle, the people of White Country might have simply perished swiftly.

Even further, maliciously speculate a bit, more maliciously ponder—was all the spreading Blood Thirst syndrome really solely the act of the White Country Restoration Front?

Joking aside, what nerve and capability does the Restoration Front possess!

Things in this world, are they just done recklessly? Would mastery in bomb-making somehow translate into acing advanced calculus?

The use and spread of Blood Thirst syndrome, verbally claiming it's just a matter of saying so, but what about the process? Where did the process go?

Being a terrorist for so long, did they self-learn into suddenly mastering biological science? What did Hope Hospital do to earn such disdain?

If White Hall is so ineffective, why bother with Nine Evils, might as well turn Shekri into a hot weapon!

Even given ten thousand years, would the Recovery Front idiots grasp what electrophoresis of proteins and the process of blotting are?!

Consulting experts won't help!

This involves countless sub-disciplines within biology, including spiritual quality science, life science, and sensory spirit physiology—these cannot be comprehended by just one or two people!

The variant catalysis of Blood Thirst syndrome may sound simple!

But achieving these requires a prolonged stable environment, centuries of academic inheritance and accumulation, advanced industrialization capable of constructing such precise equipment, indeed, the high-end talent emerging from tens of thousands of university students, all working collaboratively, along with providing security and supply around the entire project...
