#305 - Chapter 305 Uncle's Story

The group stared intently at the screen flashing red, fearing that Xiao Du in the image would be devoured by some creature that suddenly appeared.

At the same time, Qi Jing was observing other monitoring facilities.

He discovered that most of the monitoring devices were in the sea, with only a small portion on the surface.

Adding this to what they experienced during the trial, he deduced that there should also be surveillance equipment similar to satellites in the sky, observing everything on the sea surface in real time.

"Uncle, how much does the range of the alarm equipment differ from the monitoring?"

Hearing Qi Jing's question, the uncle said:

"The biological detection device used here has a small range, only twenty kilometers, but usually, when you hear the alarm here, you can still run away in time.

But Xiao Du didn't run, and we don't know how fast that dangerous creature is, or whether he can hold out until rescue arrives."

Maintenance personnel like Xiao Du are usually people with weaker abilities. They can't earn points through combat, so they rely on their maintenance skills.

However, there's not much to worry about. Every maintenance person who goes out wears a Return Talisman. As long as he actively activates it or the Return Talisman is destroyed, he can't die.

Cen Xi said confidently:

"Uncle, don't worry, Hong Pangzi will definitely make it in time."

Although she often argued, she still had great faith in Hong Xiaole's strength.

"Yeah, probably, she's the second fastest person I've seen in all my years working here."

The uncle had been earning a living in this line of work for many years.

Although the islands he was stationed on were different each time, he had seen many alarms, and nothing had ever gone wrong.

Generally speaking, when this kind of alarm goes off, people are sent to kill or guide away the intruding alien beasts, but this was the first time he had seen a rescue operation, and this person was a friend he had known for a long time.

He murmured: "With the Return Talisman, nothing will happen."

Tan Zuoyin asked:

"Uncle, then why are you still so nervous?"

Everyone could see that the uncle wasn't very reassured, but rather somewhat afraid.

Even though he had the Return Talisman, why was he still so worried?

The uncle raised his wrinkled eyes and said:

"The Return Talisman isn't omnipotent. It has to be torn open to activate.

Once you're killed instantly, and the Return Talisman isn't damaged, then death is real death.

I should have let him wear a Regression Ring, sigh."

The uncle sighed deeply.

When the Return Talisman first came out, he had confidently led his teammates outside the safe zone to explore.

But they encountered a large group of deep-sea mantis fish.

They were piranhas that could launch the blades on their bodies. At that time, humans hadn't recorded this species yet. When they were happy that they could earn a "discovery fee," one of the light-colored deep-sea mantis fish instantly chopped off all of their heads, and their limbs were divided into several pieces by other fish.

Only he, only he who had the Return Talisman stuck to his neck, was teleported away and survived with the help of healing abilities.

After that, he never dared to leave the safe zone again, and he always kept the Return Talisman stuck to his neck, and he often advised others to stick the Return Talisman there.

This was a profound lesson they learned with their lives.

"Xiao Du's Return Talisman is stuck to his neck, so he should be fine."

Cen Xi pointed to the screen:

"Relax, old man, I told you, with Hong Pangzi there, nothing will happen. What are you worrying about? Look, she's arrived."

Only then did the uncle notice that the female rescuer who had left from here had already reached Xiao Du's side.

She was still wearing that short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and she could move in the deep sea without any diving equipment. Amazing.

In the screen, Hong Xiaole flipped Xiao Du's body over and discovered that while his limbs were constantly moving, his eyes were tightly closed, like he was sleepwalking.

Mental interference? Illusion?

Hong Xiaole and the others outside the screen thought of this word.

His symptoms were like being trapped in an illusion.

Looking at the indicator in her hand, and then at Xiao Du, Hong Xiaole decided to take him to see what kind of alien beast had intruded into the safe zone.

She carried Xiao Du with one hand and swam forward with the pointer in the other.

The uncle looked at the screen and said:

"This is the last screen. There are no islands or monitors ahead. I hope they'll be alright."

Seeing him like this, Cen Xi said unhappily:

"Relax, relax. How many times have I told you? Keep your heart in your stomach. Hong Pangzi will handle it."

Why doesn't this person believe her?

He's too timid.

Compared to the uncle, Qi Jing and the others were very relieved.

Anyone who can suppress Teacher Cen Xi must be amazing. If she can't solve this, then only top-level ability users can handle it.

Yan Cheng walked over and asked: "Teacher Cen, what's your bet with Sister Wen?"

Cen Xi said:

"Whoever loses has to cook for a month and has to make sure everyone is full. How about that? Awesome, right?"

"Awesome."

Qi Jing and the others nodded.

When they thought about Teacher Cen Xi's appetite, they suddenly began to worry about Sister Wen.

If it's three meals a day, she might have to spend the whole day cooking just to feed this glutton.

"By the way, don't tell her I cheated," Cen Xi said in a low voice.

Qi Jing and the others were confused:

"Cheat? Cheat on what?"

"It's this."

Cen Xi raised her left wrist and said:

"Actually, the stage instructions for the first level were added by Xiao Xin, so the waves I created were cheating."

Xiao Xin? Who's that?

Qi Jing thought about it.

It seemed like she was a teammate in her team.

How did she manage to invade the safety officer's system and issue commands? Could she be a top hacker?

"It's all Hong Pangzi and Uncle Mo's fault. They teamed up to trick me, so they added this instruction."

After listening to Cen Xi's complaint, Qi Jing understood.

So Grandpa Mo Wang wanted to mess with us, no, no, he wanted to give us benefits in a legitimate way.

If the previous difficulty wasn't high, it would be a bit unjustified to give us an extra welfare level.

Although the Jewel Monster welfare was a bit difficult to fight, the result was always good.

"Don't worry, Teacher Cen, we won't tell Sister Wen. By the way, can you see where Sister Wen's team has gone?"

"Let me ask."

Cen Xi started talking to her bracelet: "Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin, where has Wen Jing gone?"

Looking at her directly contacting the trial command room, it was hard not to suspect that she hadn't cheated.

I wonder what Sister Wen would think if she found out about this.

[They've barely gone halfway through the first level. What do you want to do? Don't go and mess around]

Seeing the words on the bracelet, Cen Xi said:

"Don't worry, I'm a serious person. I wouldn't do such a cheating thing."

Thinking that she was forced to cheat, Cen Xi felt a little guilty:

"It's all your fault for making my bet with Wen Jing cheating. I'm so angry."

[It's our fault, it's our fault. It's all our fault for not knowing you had a bet. Don't be angry. We'll get you some barbecue when we get back]

"Okay, I'm not angry anymore."

Everyone watching was stunned.

So Teacher Cen is so easy to coax?
