Chapter 72 The City Skyline That Shocked the Hunter Squad

After Lin Yong stepped off the armed helicopter, four fully armed soldiers also stepped off. They were all awakened individuals who could enter a 'turbulent state' and continuously unleash extraordinary physical strength. Lin Yong, in particular, had awakened the ability to stimulate bioelectricity and enhance voltage, and could even manipulate electric current with his hands.

Lin Yong walked to a distance of about ten meters from the four people in the Ling Cage. He was also afraid that the other party would suddenly launch an attack, as those two armored machines looked like they were not to be trifled with.

He wasn't sure if they could communicate, since the other person was a visitor from another world.

The four members of Ling Cage exchanged glances after hearing each other's words. Jeff then spoke up, "We understand. How do you intend to treat us?"

When Lin Yong heard that the other party was speaking Xia Guoyu (Chinese), although there was a strange accent, he breathed a sigh of relief: "According to our country's laws, we will ensure your basic human rights, safety, accommodation, food, etc."

"But you also need to abide by our laws."

"First, we need to make sure you pose no danger to us, and your weapons must be temporarily kept by us."

"This is a prerequisite; otherwise, we will take mandatory action."

Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, and Erica looked at Jeff. They weren't really happy to hear this, but the current situation didn't allow them to be stubborn.

Jeff looked at the numerous armed helicopters hovering overhead and took a deep breath: "Okay, we'll abide by your rules."

What can they do if they don't comply? Judging from their posture, if they say no, they'll definitely launch an attack. With just these two gravity bodies and four people, there's no way they can negotiate.

Click! The gravity portal opened, and Jeff stepped out. Erica, seeing this, also opened her gravity portal.

"Are we just going to surrender like this?" Erica whispered to Feixue beside her.

"What else can we do?" Feixue's voice was devoid of emotion.

"Don't speak, Erica, don't cause any misunderstandings," Jeff said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Lin Yong stepped forward and took out four pairs of handcuffs from his waist: "We still need to restrict your movements. You don't mind, do you?"

Mo Cheng frowned: "Hey, we've already surrendered, is this really necessary?"

Erica huffed, "Yeah, you guys are going too far! How can we possibly fight back against so many of your big guys?"

Lin Yong said with a stern face, "We are not sure if you have any special abilities."

Mo Cheng retorted irritably, "What special ability? Can you pee far, or have more children?"

Lin Yong was very patient: "For example, this kind of ability." As he spoke, Lin Yong raised his hand and activated 'Potential Activation'. His palm instantly crackled with blue electricity, and he punched the ground not far away.

Sizzle sizzle—

A bolt of electricity as thick as an arm shot out from the fist, and the sound it made when it hit the ground was like the flapping of countless bees' wings.

A blue electric current fanned out across the ground, instantly turning a small patch of grass black and filling the air with a burnt smell.

"Holy crap!" Mo Cheng's eyes popped out of their sockets, and he started crackling electricity in his hands!

"Huh?" Erica's mouth dropped open.

Jeff and Feixue's expressions also froze.

Were these ground people the superpowered beings recorded in the old world's data? They didn't know that their reactions were being recorded for psychological analysis. The four of them obediently handcuffed themselves and were taken to an armed helicopter.

"Combat Squad 043, conduct the cleanup. The remaining squads, withdraw to base," Tao Jing communicated over the combat channel.

Two helicopters each used iron locks to secure a gravity transporter with external armor. While this might not be considered cutting-edge technology for the current Xia Kingdom military, it was still quite advanced.

Erica, watching her gravity body being moved away from the helicopter, pouted and asked, "Hey, will our gravity bodies be returned to us later?"

Lin Yong said sternly, "I don't have the authority to answer your question. I need a reply from my superiors." It would definitely be sent to the military research department, and it would certainly be disassembled for research. Whether it could be restored was not something he was concerned about.

"Tch... I'm definitely not going to pay it back." Erica pouted.

"How could this be... Why is there such a big city here! And there's absolutely no trace of the Mana ecosystem!" Jeff stared incredulously at the distant city skyline through the glass of the attack helicopter, his voice distorted, his face pressed against the glass as he spoke.

From this angle, you can see a highway leading to the city. Although there aren't many vehicles on the highway, there are still quite a few, including cars and trucks, numbering in the dozens.

He also saw a white bullet train streak across the distance, like a white dragon.

Erica pressed her face against the glass, staring wide-eyed at everything outside: "My God! Is that an old world city?! What's going on here?! Isn't our Lighthouse humanity's last home?!"

Surrounding the city are vast farmlands, now in full bloom with rapeseed flowers, a sea of ​​yellow stretching as far as the eye can see, everything brimming with vitality.

"Where exactly is this place?" Mo Cheng was shocked by what he saw before him. He had only ever seen such a scene in documentaries from the old world.

"We've probably come to a very special place," Feixue said, coming back to her senses. She could feel her heart pounding; everything before her was simply too beautiful.

Their every word and action was recorded by the recorder.

Meanwhile, in a research lab at the base, a professional with expertise in psychology and language profiling watched the live stream intently, with a group of base personnel behind him.

The base was equipped with psychological profilers mainly to profile those mysterious and extraordinary beings, but unexpectedly, they are now proving to be of great use.

The psychological profiler said, "Based on their conversations, expressions, and actions, it is now completely certain that the four of them are from another world."

"They spoke of lighthouses, humanity's last home, the Mana ecosystem, and were shocked by superpowers and by the current state of the environment."

"It can basically sketch out the general outline of the world they live in."

"The world they live in is in the apocalypse, human civilization has completely collapsed and only the beacon they speak of remains. The population is unknown, but it is probably not many."

"What caused their world's end was those mana creatures. Their world's environment was no longer suitable for human survival, since those things can modify the environment."

"Furthermore, the humans in their world did not possess supernatural powers; they relied solely on pure technology to fight against those monsters, thus developing weapons such as heavy exoskeletons."

"Their behavior of following the rules reflects that the Lighthouse they live in is an extremely rule-abiding society where various rules have become subconscious behaviors."

"The reason why a society with a strict organization can form is because of the scarcity of resources. Only strict rules can ensure the allocation of survival resources in a post-apocalyptic environment."

A middle-aged man wearing the shoulder insignia of a major general nodded sharply: "Very good. When they arrive at the base, treat them well. Make sure the food is plentiful to reduce their anxiety and vigilance and increase their sense of happiness and satisfaction. Afterward, we can chat with them as friends to learn about their world. It would be even better if they were also proficient in some science and technology from another world. Remember, we must make them feel that we are friendly and safe with them."

Whether something is friendly or not is not determined by the party that holds the initiative, but given the education that Xia soldiers receive from childhood, they are not allowed to engage in banditry like Angsa.
