Chapter 39 Action Star
Chapter 39 Action Star
"Louis, report the situation."
"The subspace transformation of the main school buildings has been suppressed, but the underground structures are still falling into subspace. Wow... it took ten anchor points to hold them in place, that's outrageous..."
In the lobby of the teaching building, Marcus stared at the entrance leading to the underground, his brow furrowed.
Since the arrival of the first department, communications have been cut off.
He knew, of course, what this meant: the subspatialization of the underground structure was irreversible, and soon the entire exit would be sealed off.
"Can you estimate when the entrances and exits will close?" Marcus pressed his earpiece.
"It's impossible to estimate," Louis replied. "We might have to bring them back."
"I'll go."
Marcus took the assault rifle from the soldier next to him and released the safety.
"Second Division, Dragon Squad, come in with me."
"yes!"
Led by Marcus, a group of people headed towards the warp entrance that was on the verge of collapse.
Just then, footsteps came from below the stairs.
"Quick, this way!"
The first to appear was Li Zhanyi, who was carrying a student covered in injuries and panting as she climbed the stairs.
The rest of the students and teachers followed closely behind, turning the corner and rushing into the school building lobby, led by Lucy.
"Escort them to the medical tent!" Marcus shouted.
"Send the children there first, I'm fine..."
"Don't be confused, teacher. You're almost at the end of your life." Lucy helped her teacher walk past Marcus.
Marcus looked down at the stairs and saw Lin Chen being the last to emerge from underground.
He had just stepped onto the stairs when, with a piercing sound of shattering glass, the staircase leading to the underground disappeared.
Instead, there are four cement walls that are arranged in the shape of a "well".
"Louis, the underground structure of the teaching building has fallen into subspace and is now a ruin," Marcus said into his headset. "Evacuate everyone."
"Phew, thank goodness... I hope the entrance wasn't damaged at all?"
"It wasn't damaged. The underground structure is surrounded by concrete. After the space disappeared, the four walls came together and got stuck. Although it's not very aesthetically pleasing, it's still quite sturdy."
"That's good. The three subjects can now prepare to enter."
"..."
After finishing his report, Marcus looked up at Lin Chen.
He was checking his equipment when he noticed Marcus's gaze. He looked up and smiled.
"Thank you for your support, Marcus-senpai."
"Go to the medical tent and check for contamination," Marcus said calmly.
"it is good."
After saying that, Lin Chen hung the shotgun on his back and walked towards the exit.
He had only taken a few steps when Marcus called him back:
"Hey, newbie."
Lin Chen turned his head and looked at Marcus, who still had a calm expression.
"Handsome." Marcus nodded slightly.
Lin Chen smiled and nodded in response, then stepped out of the teaching building.
It was still drizzling outside, and the raindrops fell on his head, spreading a faint coolness throughout his body.
In the drizzle, Lin Chen stretched and felt the rain wash away the background noise of the subspace.
"I'm going crazy..." he muttered.
Yesterday, he fired a shot at Qingtian in front of the entire Yudu.
Less than 24 hours after he fled and was recruited by the Bureau of Investigation, he entered the subspace ruins and wiped out a large number of anomalous entities.
He felt like he had been thrown into a movie set, and was given the role of the main character.
Lin Chen took a deep breath of the moist air, the icy wind swirling in his lungs.
He strode toward the medical tent.
......
"With such a rapid rate of destruction and the constant generation of anomalous entities, this case can't be classified as Delta-level; it's at least Gamma-level."
Inside the small compartment of the medical tent, Professor Jürgen used a hairdryer-like device to blow on Lin Chen's body. Lin Chen felt a sticky substance being peeled off his skin—it must have been radiation from the subspace.
"To be honest, I thought you would back out first and wait for Section Chief Jiang to handle it."
"Then it will be too late," Lin Chen shook his head, "There are still children down there."
"Young man..." Jürgen laughed, "This is your first day on the job, and you can't even tell the difference between injections."
"Isn't it because you, Professor, are helping us?" Lin Chen scratched his head.
Jürgen smiled and looked at Lin Chen for a while, then put away the equipment and waved his hand:
"Alright, you haven't been in the warp for long, so there's not much pollution. You can leave now."
"Okay," Lin Chen nodded. "Will that crystal I picked up from the remnants of the anomalous entity be of any use?"
"This is standard azure crystal, the purer kind," Jürgen nodded. "You must know about azure energy, right?"
"I don't know," Lin Chen said honestly.
"You silly child..."
Jürgen smiled helplessly: a newcomer who didn't even know about Azure Energy had already harmlessly neutralized a large number of powerful entities.
"Simply put, Azure Energy is a flow of energy that floats in the warp. It is a constituent element of anomalous entities and a source of warp erosion."
"I see..." Lin Chen nodded. "Then, do Awakened Ones and Demigods also utilize this kind of energy?"
"Of course, that's why I find it strange. Aren't you also an Awakened One? Don't you understand this?"
Jürgen looked at Lin Chen in surprise, and Lin Chen felt that he was a zoologist studying chimpanzees.
"Isn't this usually explained during the psionic spectrum testing? What are your spectral data?"
"It seems to be unknown." Lin Chen said honestly.
"Unknown?" Jürgen blinked. "So you also remained unaware of all this, and then you came to work?"
"I don't know, Zhanyi brought me here," Lin Chen scratched his head, "so I just followed her."
Looking into Lin Chen's clear eyes, Professor Jürgen smiled helplessly.
"I'll take this crystal and process it for you. Tomorrow I'll be at your Xiwang District headquarters. Just come to the lab in B4 and I'll give you a refresher while I'm at it."
"Okay." Lin Chen nodded gratefully.
"And take this."
Jürgen turned around and took a vial of medicine from a small iron box.
"This is the Azure Factor, which can replenish the consumed Azure Energy and drive the Azure Regeneration within your body."
"Just one injection before bed, thank you for saving those children."
"Thank you, Professor." Lin Chen nodded.
"Alright, go on out. Zhanyi is probably waiting for you to go to the victory celebration," Jürgen nodded with a smile. "I'll go check on the children."
Lin Chen thanked them again and then walked out of the medical tent.
At the door, Jiang Zhengge, who had rushed over, was talking to Lucy, while Li Zhanyi stood aside in a daze.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, the girl approached him, holding an umbrella, and greeted him:
"Here you are, action star! How's your body?"
"Professor Jürgen said it's nothing," Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Your reputation has already spread among those Second Division soldiers... What a super-strong rookie... You broke through the warp ruins on your first day on duty..."
Li Zhanyi looked Lin Chen up and down, sizing him up.
She noticed the small bottle in Lin Chen's hand, and upon closer inspection, exclaimed in surprise:
"Huh? Azure Factor? Where did you come from?"
"Professor Jürgen gave it to me," Lin Chen said, somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong with it?"
"Damn it, why is that old man so nice to you..." Li Zhanyi pursed her lips, "This stuff costs over 2500 yuan per injection! It's only reimbursed three times a month, and I've already used up my monthly dose!"
"ha?"
Lin Chen suddenly felt that he had been too frivolous in holding the Azure Factor, so he quickly grabbed it with both hands and held it tightly.
Is it that valuable...?
He turned around and glanced at the tent entrance, where Professor Jürgen was looking down and asking about a child's injuries.
"Thank you for saving those children." The professor's words still echoed in my ears.
