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.
Are these people on the ground the superpowered beings recorded in the old world's data?
Unbeknownst to them, their reactions were recorded for psychological analysis. The four men were obediently handcuffed and 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.
Chapter 72: People from Another World? You are the ones who have come.
The combat team returned to the base in two minutes, and the helicopter landed carrying the captured Devouring Beast.
"Quickly! The disinfection team should carry out disinfection and sterilization, leaving no residue."
Two tanker trucks carrying a special disinfectant solution quickly disinfected the armed helicopter. The solution contained a diluted elemental agent that could effectively eliminate scarlet pigment and mantle spores.
The Devouring Beasts were put into a specially made alloy cage and taken away, left to roar inside.
"Please proceed to the disinfection room for cleanup after landing," a person in a white protective suit announced through a megaphone.
"You four come with me. Let's clean yourselves up and get rid of the germs," Lin Yong said seriously. After speaking, he got into the military pickup truck. The military base was too big, and transportation was needed here except for daily training.
Erica and the other three from Mo City looked around curiously, like babies just discovering the world. They got into the military pickup truck when they heard Lin Yong's voice.
"This place is huge, and there are so many people here," Erica whispered.
Jeff said in a low voice, "And there's clearly no shortage of supplies; in fact, you could say the supplies are plentiful." Everything he had just seen from the aircraft proved that the supplies here were extremely abundant.
Mo Cheng also whispered, "I feel like this place is like the old world before the Great Cataclysm."
Feixue looked up at the sky: "It seems like we were teleported by space in an instant."
Mo Cheng looked at Lin Yong, who was driving. The other man didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them. He slickly leaned closer and said, "Hey, buddy, since we've been following your arrangements so well, can we ask you some questions?"
Lin Yong's headset flashed twice. Everything he was doing was being monitored, and he was required to report to his superiors at any time. After receiving confirmation from his superiors, he said, "Okay, but I can't answer some questions about matters of principle."
Mo Cheng said slickly, "Okay, okay, got it, buddy, where is this place? And who are you people? Do you know how we got here?"
Lin Yong's expression turned serious: "The world you are in now is called Earth, the Asian continent, and the Xia Kingdom. We are the Xia Kingdom Military's Abnormal Operations Unit, and this is our Southern Abnormal Operations Unit Headquarters."
"We don't know how you got here, but this is no longer your original world."
"Wait, wait, what do you mean we're no longer in our original world?" Mo Cheng asked hurriedly. What does that mean? Does it mean we suddenly found ourselves in another world?
Lin Yong said directly, "Literally, you are people from another world to us."
Erica stared blankly: "This is another world. We've come to another world? Is that right?!"
"We've arrived in another world... It's unbelievable." After a brief moment of stunned silence, Jeff accepted it: "But that's the only explanation for our current situation."
Feixue asked rationally, "Then why do those Devouring Beasts also exist in this world? And why are you able to kill them so easily?"
Lin Yong paused for a moment, then continued after receiving orders from his superiors: "How you came into this world is the same as how the Devouring Beasts came to be. As for how to kill them, that's a classified matter."
At this moment, the military pickup truck stopped in front of a building that resembled a hospital, with four large characters on the door that read "Virus Disinfection".
A male and a female staff member in protective suits stepped forward.
"The man, come this way with me."
"The woman, come this way with me."
Erica and the other three were taken into the disinfection room separately.
Besides disinfecting germs, this place is also a place to clean your body. A dozen minutes later, the four of them came out wearing clean clothes, looking relaxed and comfortable. Feixue also took off her mask.
The four of them were then taken to the base's canteen by staff.
The cafeteria is very large and can accommodate 5,000 people at a time.
The cafeteria offers fresh food 24 hours a day, and the selection is very generous, including seafood, stir-fried meat, stewed meat, braised meat, and even Western food.
Combat personnel may carry out missions anytime and anywhere, so it is impossible to eat on time. Moreover, combat is extremely physically demanding, so it is essential to meet the soldiers' nutritional and taste needs.
"This is the dining area. You can eat here 24 hours a day. All kinds of food are available. After you finish your meal, staff will lead you to the rest area." After saying this, Lin Yong turned and left, leaving the four of them in the dining area.
According to the leader's instructions, do not have someone constantly monitoring them. Give them appropriate space to move around during rest and meal times. Having someone monitoring them during meals will cause them biologically instinctive unease.
"Gone? Just like that? Aren't you afraid we'll wander off?" Mo Cheng stared wide-eyed.
“They don’t seem to care that much about us,” Jeff said in a low voice, secretly relieved. “They’re more concerned about whether we’re carrying any viruses or something.”
Erica looked at the square pots filled with food on the cafeteria's food counter. These foods were arranged in a row for two hundred meters, and each pot contained different foods, including meat and vegetables, all of which she did not recognize.
"That cold-faced guy said we can eat here anytime, is that true?"
The aroma of food kept wafting into the four people's nostrils, and even Jeff couldn't help but swallow.
Inside the mess hall, numerous soldiers in military uniforms ate their food. The sounds of chewing, drinking soup, and the clinking of chopsticks and forks constantly tantalized the four men's ears.
Who has ever seen such a scene? In the Lighthouse, as upper-class citizens and hunters, they were treated quite well. Most of their food consisted of synthetic meat, and they might not be able to eat a fresh vegetable for ten days or half a month; everything was packaged and canned.
The only one who gets to eat fresh vegetables and meat every day is the city lord.
Just as they were standing there, swallowing their saliva in a frenzy, a young man in a white coat walked by, went to the bowl and chopstick area, picked up a bowl and plate, and started eating directly for himself.
"Braised prawns in oil, that's good, quite delicious. I'll pass on the stir-fried beef, I'm tired of beef. Lamb is no good either, freshwater fish have too many bones. And another Australian lobster, I'll leave the innards for someone else since I don't like them."
The young man in the white coat was naturally Luo Sheng. He picked up some food while talking, and finally walked past the four of them with a large plate. He glanced at them and smiled as he passed by.
"Wow! This guy is so handsome." Erica's eyes widened slightly as she whispered, then she looked at Los Saint's plate, which was full of meat with no vegetables at all, and swallowed hard.
"Are the people here tired of eating meat? They're so picky, damn it!" Mo Cheng couldn't help but swear, then headed straight for the bowls and chopsticks area: "I already said it's okay to eat, so I won't be polite, might as well eat it!"
"Yes! We might as well eat it." Jeff couldn't resist and started walking too.
Feixue followed suit, and even the city lord couldn't get his hands on this food.
"Wait for me!" Erica rushed up to him.
The four men swallowed hard as they frantically piled food onto their plates. Everything tasted delicious to them; they'd never seen such food before in the lighthouse. Picky eating? That was a foreign concept to them. Eat! They had to eat! Eat as much as they wanted!
Chapter 73: The High Heavens Establish the Righteous Law, and the Original Plan is Completed
"Are you sure you can finish all that food?" Erica asked, looking at Jeff, Mo Cheng, and Fei Xue's plates, which were piled high with food. "And you can take more after you've finished eating."
"We can finish eating, but we need to find a seat." Jeff felt his mouth watering and quickly looked for an empty table.
However, after looking around, I found that each table had at least two people sitting on it, and each table could seat six people, which was exactly the number of people in a dormitory.
“Sit there, then there’ll be only one person.” Erica pursed her lips, her eyes lighting up. It was that handsome guy in the white coat!
The four of them walked to where Los Saint was sitting, chuckled, and sat down. They then silently ate their food. Erica and Feixue, the two women, were alright, but Jeff and Mo Cheng looked like they were starving ghosts, their faces covered in grease.
"Delicious! Damn, this is real food! The canned meat and vegetables I ate before were nothing but garbage! I feel like I've lived a worthwhile life." Jeff stopped using a knife and fork and started eating with his hands.
Seeing this, Mo Cheng stopped using a knife and fork and figured it was faster to just use his hands.
