Chapter 605: Pre-battle Mobilization, Where Did You Come From?!
"Where are you going?"
As soon as Lu Ce closed the door, the metal sphere that was the Black Knight instantly slipped out through the door crack and floated beside Lu Ce.
"I don't know. I just looked downstairs and saw a lot of people in red clothes. Not sure what they want to mobilize for."
"That unknown Game 3.0 situation, and the nationwide agent selection, probably has them quite flustered."
Lu Ce had never really been one to care much about matters in the real world, but since the game would likely descend upon all worlds next time, it was still necessary to take a look in advance and learn a bit more about things.
"Do you want to come along? Or stay alone in the room a while longer?"
Black Knight: ?
"Huh? Are you speaking human? Me stay in the room?!"
The Black Knight, of course, couldn't stay put. Immediately, the metal sphere swiftly flew to Lu Ce's hand and said mysteriously:
"But I forgot to tell you, after merging with that Death power last time and upgrading, I seem to have gained some additional abilities.""I can transform now."
As it spoke, the metal sphere directly elongated, vaporized, and became a bracelet, automatically attaching itself to Lu Ce's wrist.
Its color was black, yet it carried a few purple patterns, quite striking and beautiful. It's just that Lu Ce felt a bit unaccustomed to wearing a bracelet.
"How about it, doesn't it look great?"
The Black Knight's voice rang out from his hand.
Lu Ce: ......
Offering no comment, the man and his vehicle arrived downstairs.
Since the game began, the Dragon Group had actually established quite a few rules, including where the use of superpowers was prohibited in the real world and where it was relatively more permissible.
But Lu Ce hadn't paid attention to these newly emerged regulations. Walking here, he still tried his best to act like an ordinary person, moving calmly.
His face bore no mask, yet it felt as if he had taken one off, giving a sense of great concealment within the city.
According to Xie Antong's description last time, most of the people living in this residential community were game players. Even if not, they were basically people engaged in work related to the game.
Like the blue-robed personnel within the Dragon Group, the administrative staff.
At this moment, Lu Ce looked towards the center of the community and discovered quite a few people had already gathered. Zhao Jiacheng was in the middle, holding a microphone and preparing for something.
People were still continuously arriving. It was only then that Lu Ce realized if he hadn't happened to come down on his own initiative, staff might have come looking for him.
"Comrades! I'll speak directly, I hope everyone can still come and listen."
"Our community basically gathers many players from this city, even this province."
Zhao Jiacheng directly started shouting with a loudspeaker. Being a superhuman himself, his voice was still quite booming. It felt like you could hear it directly even from upstairs.
The Black Knight whispered:
"Why does it feel like a rural cooperative meeting from last century?"
"Shut up." Lu Ce tapped the bracelet. "You even know about things from last century?"
Finding an inconspicuous spot, Lu Ce watched to see what Zhao Jiacheng wanted to say.
"Everyone's identities are registered with us. In this new era after the game's descent, you are all considered decent players."
"I hope everyone can shoulder their social responsibility. Before the game descends, try your best not to leave the community and enter areas where ordinary people congregate."
"This is our shared home. Maintaining order here together is..."
After roughly listening to his speech, Lu Ce basically understood what the other party wanted to convey.
It was mainly about stabilizing these superhumans, to prevent a complete collapse of order.
In all disasters, the collapse of order is the most terrifying.
In reality, a bodyguard with a gun holds more power than a president. But because of the existence of order, all things that could happen, do not happen.
Official organizations are very sensitive to this kind of thing.
Lu Ce could guess that this type of talk was probably happening simultaneously all over China.
To minimize the possibility of order collapsing as much as possible within these few short days, these Dragon Group people probably weren't sleeping at all...
Moreover, even among the many people present, everyone's expressions were different.
Who knows, among them might be people wanting to take advantage of the chaos to try and fish in troubled waters.
"If there really is some kind of agent selection, we naturally won't restrict everyone from participating."
"But we hope everyone can jointly protect the community, protect the ordinary citizens, and together resist terrorists who want to cause chaos."
"Additionally, our city previously didn't have any particularly top-tier players."
"But now, we have welcomed a special expert. Everyone can meet him."
As he spoke, Zhao Jiacheng's expression seemed to relax a bit.
Actually, in every major city, in places concerning the nation's lifeline, there needs to be an expert holding the fort. Places like the capital even have people from the Council of Elders directly stationed.
Having that kind of absolute power can maximally deter those who want to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
But experts are truly a rare breed. The Dragon Group had even contacted people like the Sun, mobilizing every force they could.
Fortunately, an expert suddenly dropped into his lap here, able to serve as a bit of a facade.
Someone guaranteed by Miss Xie should be considered trustworthy, right...
Hearing Zhao Jiacheng's words, Lu Ce suddenly felt a somewhat strange premonition.
What did he mean by 'previously didn't have an expert'...
And now, he suddenly had a feeling of being watched. That beast-like intuition made him gently stroke the bracelet on his wrist.
Slowly, he turned his head to the other side.
Underneath a large tree, a familiar, graceful figure leaned against the trunk, smiling as she looked at him.
Lu Ce's gaze instantly froze. Xie Antong... What was she doing here?
Was she the expert Zhao Jiacheng mentioned? Wait, that's not right!
Whipping his head back around, Lu Ce's pupils instantly contracted.
He saw Jiang Yuan walking to Zhao Jiacheng's side and was currently waving to the crowd below.
Where the hell did you come from??
"Surprised?" A voice suddenly sounded by his ear. "Your fan insisted on begging me to bring him to find you."
