Can Other People Be Taken Out of the Safe Zone?

There was simply too much information shared tonight.

Calamity-level anomalies were like merciless mountains.

Even hearing the slightest scraps about them was enough to feel their invisible pressure and intimidation.

What was even more terrifying was that civilizations could not trust one another.

A civilization could even collapse from within.

The ability of "Domination," the ability of "sealing," and some unknown abilities...

These nuclear bomb-level "God's Skills" possessed the power to overturn civilizations, far exceeding people's psychological expectations.

How could these people be made to bring their strengths into play?

This was indeed a silent kind of pressure.

Seeing everyone lost in thought, Lu Yuan let out a soft sigh. He had shared enough information by this point.

The rest could only depend on humanity itself!

"Then that's it. Please put some thought into this. I don't want to come home and find nothing but ruins!"

After that, he handed the communicator to Old Cat.

He let Old Cat discuss scientific papers with the scientists on the other side.

After listening for ages without understanding a word, Lu Yuan could only yawn and go to sleep by himself.

The night passed quickly. Old Cat had an absolute blast, chattering away all night!

When it saw a man, it chatted properly.

When it saw a pretty woman, it went "meow meow."

As an adorably silly Orange Cat Cat, it drew the eyes of every pretty girl.

Lu Yuan grew restless as he listened. What's going on? Why doesn't anyone love me? Do you all just love cats?

As dawn approached, Old Cat ended the video call with great satisfaction.

"Your Younger Sister has the makings of a Holy King!"

"Just so she can pet me once, I have to get you back to your hometown. Meow!"

This cat was so damn cheap now, acting up all day long.

"Her classmate, Miss Han Yue, has obvious secondary sexual characteristics. You've been staring at her chest the whole time. It seems you like her very much."

"Though she's only eighteen, and the age gap is a bit large, don't be discouraged. You can pursue her."

Lu Yuan had dark circles under his eyes. He had barely slept due to his excitement, and upon hearing Old Cat's nonsense, he sprang up. "What do you mean the age gap is large? I'm only five years older than my Younger Sister!"

"That was before, comrade."

Old Cat said earnestly, "Now the gap is already more than ten years. In the future, it'll be hundreds, even a thousand years."

The veins on Lu Yuan's forehead bulged twice. "I'm just looking at pretty women. What's the big deal? And can you stop mentioning secondary sexual characteristics? It only makes you sound lewd and cheap."

Old Cat said, "No. I'm just an alien cat. I have over a hundred genders, and I'll say whatever I want."

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth in anger, then raised his knife and chopped off its head.

Old Cat's head fell to the floor. "Meow~ He's abusing Orange Cat Cat!"

In short, no matter how reluctant he was, Lu Yuan could only return the Metal Ball to the Lize Civilization...

Lu Yuan had once considered simply keeping the thing. After all, he had the ability of Storage Space. He could put the Metal Ball into Storage Space and then run away.

Once he escaped the Safe Zone, those Lize people would never be able to catch him!

But in the end, he did not commit such a morally depraved act.

For one thing, it was truly difficult for friendship to arise between civilizations.

In a terrifying world where even "God's Skills" could be plundered from one another, friendship only had a chance to emerge when both sides met while weak.

When two powerful civilizations met, it was truly unlikely that they could trust one another.

If one was strong and the other weak, they would only plunder each other.

Thus, Lu Yuan ultimately rejected this temptation.

On the other hand, some of his comrades were here as well—the unconscious Lize people.

Without the bombs they had carried in, Lu Yuan would not have been able to defeat the monster.

For the sake of that bit of camaraderie, he could not be too inhuman...

So after returning the communicator, he also went to the isolation center to visit his former comrades.

Nearly three hundred people were lying on hospital beds.

Their bodies were covered in eyeballs. They occasionally twitched, and nutrient devices resembling IV drips were attached to their arms.

The six people who had fought alongside Lu Yuan were unconscious as well.

"They still can't wake up?"

Lu Yuan looked at Eagle Eye, then at Taduo.

Those opened eyes seemed to have lost all awareness. They had no focus at all, like vegetative patients.

A medical professor from the Lize Civilization said, "These extra eyes are connected to the monster's main body. Now that the monster is dead, they have lost their central control."

"Fortunately, their souls and brains are still intact. They are merely in a dormant state... As for whether they can truly awaken, we are still trying to find a solution."

"Can these extra eyes be removed?"

"Unfortunately, with our current biotechnology, it is still far too difficult to undo the mutations caused by the monster." The professor let out a long sigh.

Lu Yuan thought about it. Although he had many methods, he was powerless in this situation.

"Mr. Lu, can you take other people out of the Safe Zone?" At that moment, Governor Lyon hurried in from outside the room.

Lyon had contacted his compatriots through the communicator.

"In theory, yes, but the risk is enormous."

"Once it fails, everyone will die."

Space Blink consumed an enormous amount of mental energy.

Lu Yuan could at most wear light gear; he did not even dare wear armor.

If he carried a fifty-kilogram living being, the mental energy consumption would increase severalfold.

Furthermore, the instant of teleportation, when one overlapped with the air, was not something an ordinary person could endure.

Lu Yuan knew when he was teleporting and could prepare himself; but the person he carried would be completely unprepared. Clearly, much greater strength was needed to withstand large amounts of air entering the internal organs, blood vessels, and even the brain!

This was also the main reason Old Wolf had not entered the Safe Zone.

"So our soldiers can't go outside..."

Lyon was clearly somewhat disappointed. He seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.

"Please, go ahead. If it can wake them up, I'm still willing to contribute something."

Lyon hesitated for a few seconds before slowly saying, "In other cities, there are several ability users who might be useful."

"One of them has the ability to 'awaken.' Even a vegetative patient can be awakened, as long as their brain is intact."

"Even if that awakening ability user cannot Breach the Safe Zone herself, her blood still has a certain effect... so we hope..."

"There is also a tree whose fruit can repair souls."

"Both of these things are in our First Civilization Branch."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. He did not really mind; it was just running a few errands.

(PS: I'm having serious writer's block, so the word count is a little lower. I'll sort out the later developments.)

(Some readers may not like reading about humanity's internal development, but there's no helping it. I still have to write this human storyline, so please forgive me if you don't like it.)

(Finally, let me ask for Monthly Tickets, QAQ.)
