"What did you say?" Zhao Yanran asked.
"Nothing, I just remembered something interesting."
Zhao Yanran was naturally dissatisfied with Ling Yi's answer. She pouted and said, "So mysterious, it's not interesting at all."
At this time, colleagues from the Defense Bureau of Dabin Province had arrived and taken over the on-site work.
After that, nothing more happened between the two of them.
"How about we find a place to eat first?" Ling Yi said to Zhao Yanran as he started the car.
"Oh, right, I haven't had breakfast or lunch yet," Zhao Yanran said quickly, her eyes lighting up.
It's already past 4 PM, and the two of them have wasted most of their time driving, so they haven't had time to eat.
But just then, Ling Yi's phone rang; it was Zhao Hai calling.
"Watch the news."
Zhao Hai said three words and then hung up the phone.
Although he only said three words, both of them could hear the anger in Zhao Hai's tone.
The two of them took out their phones and started searching for trending news.
"This is utterly foolish!" Zhao Yanran said, frowning with some anger.
"It's a bit foolish. With the Ugly Nation's actions, all our efforts have been wasted. But that's in line with the Ugly Nation's style; as long as there's enough profit, they probably wouldn't care about destroying the world."
Ling Yi gave a disdainful sneer.
At 4:00 AM this morning, which is afternoon in the Ugly Nation, the Ugly Nation. government held a press conference, claiming that they had developed the first holographic virtual game in human history, named " Quantum Universe ".
The gaming helmet will be available for global sale starting in three days, at midnight on August 12th.
Clearly, the Ugly Nation. has already begun cooperating with the " God Race " in the Quantum Universe.
"This is a betrayal of humanity, no, a betrayal of our world, a betrayal of our universe," Zhao Yanran said angrily.
"Getting angry now won't help; the key is to solve the problem." Ling Yi grinned, then looked at Zhao Yanran and said with a smile, "Dare to come with me to the Ugly Nation and cause some trouble?"
Zhao Yanran's eyes lit up, but then she said helplessly, "How are we going to get there?"
"Looking for your dad!"
He won't agree.
"I'm not saying I want him to agree, but I'm asking him if he knows where that game server in the Ugly Nation is located. As for how to get there, we'll figure that out later."
"Good!"
Zhao Yanran agreed without hesitation and then dialed Zhao Hai's number.
To Ling Yi's surprise, Zhao Hai didn't say much at all. After giving a few perfunctory replies, he sent Zhao Yanran a coordinate.
"At Babuli Farm in Kansas," Zhao Yanran said to Ling Yi after checking the coordinates.
Ling Yi stepped on the gas, and the car accelerated again.
Where are we going?
"Airport? Aren't the Defense Bureau's credentials supposed to have a lot of authority? Buying a plane ticket shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"There's no problem, but are we not going to prepare anything?"
"We'll talk about it when we get there."
Zhao Yanran was speechless.
Ling Yi glanced at her and couldn't help but laugh.
Is Zhao Yanran really that simple? Absolutely not.
Zhao Hai wasn't stupid. By giving Zhao Yanran the coordinates, he was essentially tacitly acknowledging the matter, which proved that Zhao Hai had extreme trust in Zhao Yanran's abilities.
Despite all the problems Zhao Yanran had, she wasn't worried about her safety at all.
This woman must have something to rely on.
Ling Yi didn't care about Zhao Yanran's identity or abilities.
He's thinking about something else now.
Ling Yi had already browsed through the four newly acquired memories, especially the memories of the mysterious woman who seemed to be the Protagonist. Unfortunately, these memories were still just those of these humans from their previous lives.
There is still not a single memory of the Quantum invaders.
But it was precisely because of this that Ling Yi's suspicions were confirmed.
That mysterious woman was also Quantum invader.
This woman is either a Revive being or a time traveler from the future, but regardless of the reason, it's difficult for Ling Yi to understand why she, as a person from the Quantum Realm, would turn around and help humanity.
Another thing is that the mysterious woman's eyes, like the eyes of the woman who took over the fat man's body, were beautiful blue pupils.
However, in the other three memories, the intruder appeared with normal black eyes.
This is definitely not a simple coincidence.
The question arises: if these two people are the same person, why are their superpowers different?
One has a level 6 sonic ability, while the other has a level 8 Psychic Power ability.
If they aren't the same person, then what is their relationship?
With that in mind, Ling Yi dialed Zhao Hai's number.
"Boss, have you caught that fat guy from three days ago?"
"They got away!" Zhao Hai said helplessly.
Ling Yi hung up the phone and fell into deep thought again.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yanran asked.
"There are some things I can't figure out, but never mind, I'll understand them eventually."
"Tell me about it, maybe I can help you analyze it."
" Quantum invaders are helping humanity," Ling Yi said.
"Are you kidding me? Quantum invaders, helping humanity?"
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe I'll understand some things when I see that fat guy again."
"That fat intruder killed ninety-seven people and seriously injured two hundred and twenty-three others," Zhao Yanran sneered.
That's why I can't understand it.
As they spoke, the car entered the airport expressway. With their Defense Bureau credentials, the two easily passed through a special channel and boarded the passenger plane bound for the Ugly Nation. Los Angeles ahead of time, in first class.
After finishing the meal prepared by the staff, the two rested to recharge.
When the plane landed, it was around 5 a. m. in the Ugly Nation.
"What do we do now?" Zhao Yanran asked Ling Yi beside her at the airport entrance.
"We might be in trouble," Ling Yi said, feigning a serious expression.
"There are fewer and fewer people around, and not a single taxi in sight. This is very unusual."
"It seems our itinerary has been leaked."
"These people in front of us are probably all Quantum invaders."
Ling Yi's Passive Download Aura had already shown signs of activity earlier, and now it was downloading thirty memories and superpowers with Dingdang.
"If you don't have any trump cards up your sleeve, we might be done for today," Ling Yi said while receiving his new superpower.
"You have a trump card too, why don't you use it first?" Zhao Yanran said with dissatisfaction.
My trump card is my brain.
"Nobody believes you! If I use my trump card, my country will become the target of everyone's criticism."
"However, the Ugly Nation really went too far this time, and they must be taught a profound lesson," Zhao Yanran said, her voice brimming with murderous intent.
"You..." Ling Yi was about to say something when he saw a strange Changes in Zhao Yanran's eyes.
The entire eyeball turned completely black, with no white showing.
At the same time, the Passive Download Aura stirred again. Ling Yi's pupils contracted, revealing his Level 13 Electron Manipulation Ability and Level 5 Physical Ability.
This strength is far greater than that of the mysterious woman from back then.
By browsing through Zhao Yanran's memories, Ling Yi finally understood why the halo hadn't reacted before.
Because the power Zhao Yanran currently possesses is not hers, but rather something she borrowed from a Quantum invader.
When not in use, this Quantum intruder is sealed within the Quantum Virtual World and can only be Summon when needed.
This is a sci-fi version of... Summon Possession?
As for why the Quantum intruder obeyed obediently, it's because his consciousness had been annihilated, leaving only his ability data, and a smart program similar to a " Contract " was forcibly loaded onto him.
This setting is quite sophisticated.
This is possible because the Defense Bureau's research department has found a way to activate R35 Second Form. In the second form, the Quantum invader's consciousness is placed in a state of no return, unable to advance or retreat, thus losing control.
Depending on their strength, Quantum invaders can maintain this state for varying lengths of time, but no matter how long they persist, the final result will be a collapse of consciousness, leaving only their ability data.
Of course, the process will not be easy. There are too many dangers involved, and there are several prerequisites that must be met. Otherwise, the consciousness of both humans and Quantum invaders will be annihilated simultaneously.
At this moment, Zhao Yanran's body crackled with electricity, Daodao terrifying Lightning surrounded her, making her practically a female version of Thor.
"Am I cool or not?" Zhao Yanran asked with a smile.
"Cool!" Ling Yi replied casually.
"Tch, not serious at all. I'm really looking forward to your trump card." With that, Zhao Yanran charged straight at the Quantum invaders in front of her.
Zhao Yanran's sudden Changes Dawei these Quantum invaders.
"How could a human possibly steal the power of a god?" a blond Little White said incredulously.
"This is at least level 9 Divine Power! Run!"
Zhao Yanran sneered, "Trying to escape? Do you think you can?"
As she spoke, Lightning suddenly erupted from her body, releasing countless electric snakes that repeatedly bounced and darted between the people and the surrounding buildings. In the Guangzhi, these people were turned into charred remains one by one; not a single one could escape.
For these lowly trash who were only at level three or five, Zhao Yanran could easily wipe them all out with a single move.
However, a weak bolt of lightning, under Zhao Yanran's deliberate control, struck Ling Yi directly.
Is this girl still testing me? You keep testing, I'll keep acting...
Amidst Zhao Yanran's utter bewilderment, Ling Yi let out an exaggerated scream and staggered to the ground.
"Hey, you're overacting. My electric current wouldn't even be enough to give an ordinary person a massage."
"Cough cough, I'm very weak. If I accidentally get electrocuted by you, I'll be dead."
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't believe you. Don't pretend, or I'll give you a shock."
"No way, I was just kidding! Besides, you were the one who implicated me first!" Ling Yi quickly waved his hands in surrender.
Hearing the approaching sirens and the roar of helicopter rotors overhead, Ling Yi chuckled and said, "This is getting pretty noisy. This is going to be interesting."
