I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

In the eastern suburbs of Lindong City, Xuanjian looked at the leaders of the other teams.

They were in reality at this moment, and their appearance and attire were different from those in the nightmare world. However, several of the team leaders present were high-level members and celebrities in the safe zone. They made no attempt to hide themselves, and their features were distinctive enough to be recognized at a glance.

For example, Xuanjian is a young man in his early twenties with sharp eyes. He has two swords hanging at his waist and two more on his back. For example, Taozi holds a staff with a heart-shaped tip, which is her symbol.

Boss Ye looked to be only in his thirties, much younger than his actual age. He was wearing the standard uniform of the safe zone, but behind him hung a pure black cloak. This cloak contained mysterious and unpredictable power and was clearly a cursed artifact.

There's also Li Wei, whose team, as one of the first high-level accounting teams, is highly recognizable.

Besides them, there were twenty or thirty other members present. Most members were unfamiliar with each other except for those they already knew and had formed teams with. However, since everyone was wearing the same uniform, the sense of unfamiliarity quickly faded.

far away,

Elites from the Lin Dong City authorities rushed over. "Gentlemen, we are from the Lin Dong City Countermeasures Bureau. On behalf of Lin Dong City, we thank you for your assistance. For the next period of time, please follow our instructions and work together to defeat the disaster."

"Of course."

"We came here on a mission, after all."

The elite team leader breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that some of the reinforcements were unruly, especially since many of them were civilians who were dreamers who cherished freedom.

These reinforcements were all powerful individuals, and his advanced Refinement stage strength was completely inadequate in front of them.

He really didn't have a way to forcibly command these powerful reinforcements.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

But it doesn't seem like the powerful reinforcements are all particularly obedient... How could powerful people not have pride? It seems it's just...

"It's simply because I received a mission from the safe zone, and the safe zone administrators are supervising me!"

"Is this the deterrent effect of a safe zone?"

The team leader murmured.

He was increasingly eager to go to the safe zone.

The group leader led Xuanjian and other powerful individuals over the mountains and onto the highway.

Here are the vehicles that the authorities of Lindong City had prepared long ago.

"And these too, these are specially made communicators. The bureau will use them to contact you and arrange mission locations."

The group leader said, and instructed the reinforcements to form temporary teams.

The general idea is to have four high-level teams: Xuanjian, Liwei, Boss Ye, and Taozi, with other people incorporated into the teams. This will help with the subsequent task arrangements.

Xuanjian nodded: "No problem."

He then asked, "What's the specific situation now? What's the situation like in Lin Dong City? I heard there are still quite a few Nightmare Invasions appearing?" The team leader replied, "That's right, but it's already..."

As they were talking, the communicator started beeping.

"I am Zhou Huai'an."

Director Zhou spoke up, inquiring about the situation of Xuan Jian and his group.

Although Director Zhou knew which members had signed up to participate in the battle, due to the uncontrollable return of the Fallen Dream, he did not know which teams would be able to enter Lin Dong City first, nor did he know how many reinforcements had arrived in the eastern suburbs at this time.

Xuan Jian glanced at the others and then reported the situation as their representative.

"...That's pretty much how it is here."

"Alright! Then please proceed to areas 04, 07, 15, and 16 to search for the source. Our Dreamers will be there to assist you." "Understood!"

They had the battle map of Lindong City that the team leader had just given them.

The members quickly boarded the bus.

On the mountain road, more than a dozen cars roared and sped toward their destinations.

Another place.

The black police car from the Countermeasures Bureau sped along, its lights flashing, running red lights one after another.

Inside the car, Xi Xue and her team members waited in silence, filled with excitement. After more than half an hour of driving, the three cars stopped in front of an old building with a courtyard.

Xi Xue, her teammates, and several powerful members who had temporarily joined her team quickly got off the bus.

The team leader from the countermeasures bureau who brought them here said, "This is our bureau's temporary office in area 05. The bureau had already notified them to assemble before they came."

The team leader went inside and called out everyone at the outpost.

Immediately, more than twenty people who had fallen into dreams arrived in the courtyard.

Of these people, only four were wearing black trench coats; the rest were either from various organizations or Dreamers recruited from the general public. The group leader looked at Xi Xue:

"They are all preliminary investigators, and they should have already obtained some leads. There are also some peripheral personnel scattered throughout Area 05." The team leader then looked at the Dreamers from Lin Dong City in the courtyard and introduced them to them:

"These dozen or so powerful individuals are reinforcements from Baijiang City. The upcoming operation to decapitate the source entities in area 05 will be commanded by Commander Xi Xue, with me assisting from the side. I believe you have also received the notification from the headquarters."

The four men in black trench coats remained silent at the scene.

The other dreamers focused their gazes on Xi Xue, frowning.

This little girl is in charge? By what right?

Although the General Administration must have its reasons for making this arrangement, Xi Xue is too young and an outsider. Is she really reliable? Some of the Dreamers just frowned.

Some of those who had fallen into this dream immediately retorted, "Why should I?"

Xi Xue's eyes lit up. "That's a good question!" She had been waiting for this question.

She's not stupid at all; she noticed long ago that some people were dissatisfied.

But since no one asked, she couldn't just pretend to be something she'd never do.

"Just because I am a senior member of the safe zone, the fourth seat of the Wizard's House, and one of the new generation of extraordinary individuals in Baijiang City."

Having said that, Xi Xue no longer concealed her aura.

The flames were blazing, like the sun high in the sky;

The frost and snow were icy cold, as if I had fallen into an ice cellar.

A terrifying curse spread out from her, whipping up gusts of wind that made all the dream-trapped individuals tremble and struggle to breathe. "Trans...transcendent?"

"An extraordinary individual comparable to the Chief of Staff or the Deputy Director?"

"A transcendent being this young?!"

Xi Xue slightly raised her neck: Pride.jpg.

Although she had nothing to be proud of inside the safe zone. Peach was the same age as her, Xuanjian wasn't much older, Chen Baichuan and Xiao K were all much younger, and even the shop manager looked to be her age.

But once we're outside the safe zone, what will you call me?

Please call me the Fourth Seat!

Commander Xi Xue!

Among the Dreamers present who were in charge of the preliminary investigation, the strongest was only at the First Refinement Realm. Now, to let a transcendent expert directly lead them? This…

What an honor!

I fought alongside the extraordinary!

Xi Xue said, "Alright! Since there are no problems, our operation will officially begin."

After saying that, Xi Xue turned to a gentle-looking woman beside her and asked, "Sister Wenger, what are we going to do next?"

Countermeasures Bureau, Lin Dong General Bureau.

Yang Linna and Mei Hua arrived at the scene.

The two women, representing the Security Zone Mission Department, were temporarily stationed here to coordinate between members and the authorities of Lin Dong City, and also to keep records of some missions and operations.

They do not participate in the early and mid-stage investigations and tracking, but if a major war breaks out, these two extraordinary individuals will be important reinforcements.

Around the same time, in another place.

"Commander Xuanjian, this is the place in this region where the first patient with symptomatic mantis disease was discovered."

Xuan Jian looked at the old residential area called Shuxin Garden in front of him and nodded slightly.

He had already obtained the information on how to find the source.

In other words, it involves tracing the source of contamination by identifying patients or asymptomatic carriers during the incubation period. Only extraordinary individuals or a very small number of people at the Third Refinement Realm can achieve this.

Even though the Lin Dong authorities divided the area into thirty-six districts, each district was still very large and had a large population.

Simply choosing a random location and selecting a few passersby to observe is too inefficient.

Xuan Jian took the data and looked at it. This residential area has four buildings, and the permanent population is approximately...

He walked straight to the middle of the community, and his extraordinary spiritual power spread out, extending thirty-nine meters from his body.

This distance is sufficient to cover the entire Shuxin Garden residential community.

One by one, living beings appeared in his perception inside the residential building.

This is just the beginning. Xuanjian needs to perceive these people more closely to determine whether there are any contaminated viruses lurking in their bodies, and to trace these contaminants back to their source.

"Sure enough, the vast majority of people in this community had contamination in their bodies!"

Xuan Jian was still carefully investigating, while the other two members of his team, both skilled in investigation and at the Third Refinement Realm, were also using their respective methods.

They might not be able to detect the pollution, but they might find some other strange traces.

The other dreamers weren't idle either; some were searching for clues in the surrounding area, while others received urgent missions to intercept invading nightmares in a nearby location. The remaining individuals were responsible for guard duty, coordinating with the security personnel and maintaining order.

After half an hour,

Xuan Jian shook his head slightly: "No, there are too many sources that can be traced in this community. We are probably still far from the source body. Let's go to the next clue location."

Another place.

This area is under the jurisdiction of the leader of the Eye Clan, Wolf King Li Wei.

Li Wei's team was relatively weak, so he was assigned more manpower.

at this time,

Li Wei arrived at a bar.

The bar wasn't open in the morning, and the area has a high turnover of people, so it's not really a good starting point for searching.

but,

He walked into the bar, and suddenly his forehead began to twitch, and one of his vertical pupils opened wide.

His vertical pupils, tinged with three parts crimson and three parts dark red, were wide open as he looked around.

at the same time,

The vice-captain of the Pupil Group, wearing a baseball cap, had his eyes turn pale gold as he quickly scanned his surroundings before looking outwards.

Both of them possess reconnaissance abilities, but their focuses differ.

After a while,

Li Wei found several directions: "Six o'clock, eight o'clock, eleven o'clock."

The man in the baseball cap said, "I noticed that the directions at four o'clock, eight o'clock, and nine o'clock are a bit off."

"Okay!" Li Wei said, "Then let's start searching from the eight o'clock direction."

Finding the source is indeed a very difficult task.

Extraordinary abilities are merely the ability to discover and search, but one must still continuously sift through the vast sea of ​​people.

For extraordinary individuals, frequently activating their talents is also a significant burden.

but,

If even the extraordinary ones are short-handed, this operation cannot even begin.

Meanwhile, extraordinary beings were tracking the entire thirty-six districts of Lin Dong City.

among them,

The local extraordinary individuals in Lindong City are only responsible for nine of the areas.

Other areas...

Teams Dragon, Team Lu, and Team Chen from Baijiang City.

There are also extraordinary individuals such as Xuanjian, Xixue, Taozi, Yechuan, Liwei, Lao Wang, Master Jiyi, and the Pharmacist.

There were five or six extraordinary individuals from Chongshan City.

There are also veteran powerhouses like Chen Shouyi from Nightmare Camp and Shi Wannian from Stone Village.

Besides these extraordinary individuals leading teams in various regions, there are also many extraordinary combatants within the Lin Dong City headquarters.

For example, Director Zhou, who was in charge of the command, and the Director of the Lindong General Bureau.

For example, Yang Linna and Mei Hua, who represent the Security Zone Mission Department.

For example, the leaders of several major organizations in Lindong who serve as mobile combat forces, Spade of the Safe Zone, and Ms. Luo of Baijiang City.

After all, searching for the Source Body consumes a great deal of energy from the extraordinary beings, and there will be a great battle after finding it... The role of these powerful individuals is to eliminate them. At this moment, Lin Dong City is filled with extraordinary beings and powerful individuals.

But if you look closely, you'll find...

More than 80% of the extraordinary beings in Lin Dong City share a common identity—members of the safe zone.

In a certain place in Lindong City.

A girl who looked like a high school student was strolling leisurely down the street, her gaze indifferent as she swept over her surroundings.

Several different forces drifting between heaven and earth, a distant invading nightmare, and the ever-spreading mantis contamination...

It all came into view.

It was then seen by Shi An.

"It's alright, the situation is stable now. At least it's much more stable than what happened in Baijiang before."

"The nightmare of invasion poses no threat. As for the rest, as long as all the source entities are eliminated, the patients with the mantis disease will recover naturally."

"I just don't know which team will be the first to find the source."

Area 15.

"It's probably just ahead."

Li Wei and his group arrived in front of an office building.

Li Wei opened his forehead and looked at the office building with his vertical pupils, scanning it from bottom to top.

First floor, second floor, third floor...

When he saw the eighteenth floor, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"The stench of pollution is countless times stronger! Without a doubt, the source of the pollution is hiding inside!"

"but·……"

Li Wei's gaze continued to sweep across the area. "Besides that Source Body, I discovered that many people inside also contained excessive levels of contamination... Those people are probably not Mantis Disease patients, but rather, they have been transformed into Mantis Bizarre beings!"

"It's a daughter organism that was contaminated by the original organism!"

His expression was solemn.

He discovered that there were more than twenty of these offspring.

"Both the child and the original seem to be living according to the behavior of normal people. They are dead, but until they are really stimulated, they will still think of themselves as human beings."

"Since that's the case..."

Li Wei certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to rush up and fight the Source Body.

According to the information, this source entity is very likely to be extraordinary and bizarre!

Although he was probably the most ordinary level of extraordinary and bizarre, Li Wei was just a newly promoted extraordinary being.

This is within the city limits; if a major battle were to break out, the destructive power of a single extraordinary being and over twenty ordinary beings would be terrifying. If handled even slightly improperly, it could result in massive casualties.

Li Wei immediately took out his communicator, explained the situation, and called for reinforcements.

"besides……"

"Understood, Commander Li Wei. Leave the tasks of maintaining order and evacuating the crowd to us."

The assisting team leader, along with a group of people who had fallen into the dream and the local security guards, began to find excuses to evacuate the people inside the building.

suddenly,

Li Wei's expression changed.

"Oh no, that source body has awakened! How could this be?"

It wasn't mentioned in the materials.

But Li Wei also knew that this data was only the result of a hasty study by Lin Dongcheng, and it did not represent the whole picture. It was perfectly normal for there to be omissions. He didn't have time to think about it and quickly rushed into the building.

Li Wei pressed the elevator button, frowned when he saw the floor number above, turned around and ran towards the emergency exit, leaping up and down the stairwell like a rocket.

But at the same time,

On the eighteenth floor, a terrifying aura is reviving and rising.

The group leader and other dreamers who had already entered the building also noticed it.

"What happened?"

"The Source Body... has awakened in a bizarre and extraordinary way!"

They were terrified.

"Perhaps the Dreamer's approach provoked the Source, or perhaps my use of supernatural power just now startled the Source..."

Li Wei has sent out a more urgent distress signal.

He rushed into the seventeenth floor.

Most of the migrant workers here have been evacuated or moved away.

Suddenly the ceiling cracked open, and a pair of ferocious forelimbs fell down.

Li Wei rushed past the squad leader, his body covered in thick wolf fur, and his entire body had grown twice as big, making his combat uniform bulge. He threw a punch.

"boom!!"

The source entity, which had just poked half its body out, was blasted back to the eighteenth floor. A gust of wind spread outwards in circles, shattering all the surrounding glass with a crash. Li Wei leaped into the eighteenth floor and pounced on the source entity, pinning it firmly in place.

A power struggle between one person and one trick.

This was the least disruptive fighting method he could think of.

Otherwise, if he recklessly fought this Origin Body, the entire office building would be breached floor by floor, and few people inside would survive. The other powerful members also quickly arrived at this floor and intercepted all the strange sub-bodies.

The sub-type monsters are not weak; half of them are elite monsters, and there are also two leader monsters.

But the members who came to help were the elite of the elite, with four of them at the third level of the Refinement Realm.

The members are gradually eliminating these strange phenomena.

They had the upper hand, but Li Wei was in a precarious situation.

If it were a one-on-one fight, he wouldn't be afraid of this strange source body, but if he wanted to control it, it would be quite difficult.

"Ahhh"

His muscles bulged, and his entire body was ablaze with magical power.

"But I can only hold out for another thirty seconds. If reinforcements don't arrive by then..."

The team leader and security guards worked quickly to evacuate the survivors.

They were terrified.

They knew that once the source entity was freed, a great terror would engulf them.

But how could they possibly evacuate all the survivors of the entire building in such a short time? The terrifying aura emanating from above made many people's legs go weak, and they couldn't even run away.

At that moment, a figure leaped up from the distant sky and crashed directly into the eighteenth floor of the building.

She raised her hand, and a pink beam of light shot out, landing directly on the struggling source body.

"Peach, a senior member of the Safe Zone and the sixth seat of the Wizard's House, is here to provide backup!"

After Li Wei sent out an emergency distress signal, the authorities of Lin Dong City no longer just sent people from the headquarters, but called over all the extraordinary experts they could find in the surrounding areas.

boom!

Another figure appeared from the side.

Chen Shouyi threw out a seed, which activated in mid-air and transformed into countless roots.

It entangled and filled the entire floor, then pierced the restrained source body.

"I'm the team leader from the next area, a member of the safe zone. I rushed over as soon as I received the emergency message. I'm not too late, am I?"

"Not too late."

Li Wei stood up, his body surging with magical power.

He ripped out the source body's heart.

Several more extraordinary individuals arrived.

There are local powerhouses from Lindong City, and members from the safe zone.

In the blink of an eye, this extraordinary source body was completely annihilated, leaving not even ashes behind.

The whole process was a bit nerve-wracking, but ultimately safe.
