Gamers Are Fierce

"Okay, then I'll buy the tickets."

Wang Congshan tapped a few times on her phone, "Done, three thirty, IMAX."

"Alright."

Li Ang took another sip of his ice cola and complained, "Didn't Prometheus Laboratory develop new technology that can greatly reduce the cost of making special effects and enhance the visual effect of special effects?

Why are there so few new movies recently?"

"Maybe it's because of the Door Battle before?"

Wang Congshan casually replied, "Back then all information channels were broadcasting news about the Door Battle, even if movies were released, nobody was in the mood to watch.

Plus the previous news about the Mayotte Archipelago,

that's why."

"Tsk."

Li Ang clicked his tongue, indeed as the slaughter game progresses, the peaceful everyday life he was familiar with is about to vanish...

Truly unpleasant.

Speaking of this, Wang Congshan's mood also became a bit downcast, she sighed, sipped her ice cola, and looked out the window.

The city's streets, once bustling with cars and pedestrians,

now seemed a bit quieter,

passing over the tall buildings across the street, the tops of distant towering urban skyscrapers could be seen faintly.

From this angle, the urban skyscraper looks like a square box, standing tall on the ground,

the high-rise buildings Yin City once prided itself on,

are all insignificant in front of it.

"So tall."

Wang Congshan marveled, "That skyscraper could empty out Yin City, right."

"What are you thinking."

Li Ang casually said, "Haven't you looked at the latest version of the promotional booklet for the Urban Skyscraper plan?

This skyscraper is not just for residential use, it also houses nuclear power stations, chemical plants, steel mills, soil-less farming facilities, etc.,

taking up a lot of space.

It can about empty out 4/5 of Yin City.

There's no choice, the permanent population of Yin City plus the floating population is really too much, some people will be diverted to the urban skyscraper over in Suhang, it depends on the automated decision system and the lottery results."

As he spoke, Li Ang disdainfully glanced at Wang Congshan, "You don't even know this? It's obvious you haven't been following the Special Affairs Bureau website, and you call yourself the relative of a Mobile Detachment crew member."

"Do you think everyone is like you, sleeping in class and playing with your phone all the time, so much free time. I have to study, okay?"

Wang Congshan snorted, "Also, relatives don't have much inside information,

my cousin is recently drowning in work,

the thing with Mayotte Archipelago seemed particularly severe, they've been working overtime for several days."

Wang Congshan paused, sighed dejectedly, "Um...

Our family also has to move into the urban skyscraper, it's just a matter of months.

In the next half year or year, our school probably also needs to be demolished..."

"You guys have to move again?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows slightly. The earliest city skyscraper plan announced by the Special Affairs Bureau intended to gradually construct the skyscraper within two to three years, relocating Yin City's residents in several phases,

gradually moving into the urban skyscraper.

But plans can never keep up with changes, Door Battle along with the different world Stargate emerging in the west ocean of Mayotte Archipelago, greatly stimulated official agencies worldwide,

the urban skyscraper plan also proactively accelerated, with many factories relocated even when the top floor of the skyscraper wasn't fully finished yet, expediting infrastructure development within the city – the whole process involves Transcendent beings, assisting ordinary construction teams, shortening the time needed for the project.

Although the spiritual power of transcendents automatically replenishes, and can be fully restored in advance by drinking magic potions,

but if during the recovery process, a scenario mission is triggered,

and within the scenario mission, leading to diminished combat power because spiritual power wasn't fully restored, causing Transcendent death,

it's absolutely a losing proposition.

The resources required to cultivate a Transcendent (especially a logistics-type Transcendent) far exceed those to train a team of ordinary construction workers,

that's why previously, official organizations in various regions rarely used Transcendents in large-scale production labor.

The Special Affairs Bureau dares to do this...

proving they gained more benefits than imagined in the last Door Battle.

Or, maybe they got intelligence that if they don't quickly build the urban skyscraper and move more ordinary people in,

subsequent abnormal events (such as different world invasions) would likely cause very serious impact.

Li Ang's expression remained calm, his mind quietly contemplating.

Before and after the Mayotte Archipelago Stargate incident,

the world's oceans were patrolled by numerous warships, submarines, and underwater exploration tools, screening coastal areas several times to find any possible stargate.

The Bug Nest Fleet is large, diverse in type,

but against pervasive technology devices, even a slight misstep could reveal their tracks.

Thus, the two Bug Nest Fleets have now returned to the Pacific trench, lying dormant again,

sending out small numbers of reconnaissance bugs,

pretending as ordinary fish groups, following ocean currents worldwide seeking traces of stargates, to supplement the intelligence Li Ang needed.

To avoid reconnaissance bugs shaping as ordinary fish being captured by humans,

all bugs have self-destruct program,

once tangled in fishing nets, they can dissolve before reaching the surface,

if unable to dissolve in time, bugs will also spit out leaf vein-shaped Bug Nest biological organs, behaving as a regular fish—matching the texture of the fish species they mimic.

It probably won't take long before the dispatched reconnaissance bugs complete the task of touring the Earth, finding some stargates other than the Mayotte Archipelago—a few may be on land.

"Hey hey, food's here."

Wang Congshan snapped her fingers in front of Li Ang's face, pulling him out of his thoughts, "What are you thinking."

"I was thinking, 70% of humans is water,"

Li Ang pushed his glasses up his nose, an earnest expression on his face, "so among every ten people, seven are disguised as humans as water."

"Oh, so reasonable oh, suggest sending this scientific result to the Nobel Prize Committee."

Wang Congshan casually retorted.

"Soon, once my other scientific result—proving the feasibility of Filth Reborn—is published, I can have Nobel hand me the award personally."

Li Ang casually chatted with Wang Congshan,

suddenly, Wang Congshan's phone on the table started vibrating.

Buzz buzz—

She sideways glanced at the unread QQ message, her expression slightly surprised.

Li Ang glanced with the corner of his eye, the unread message was from "Cousin"—also known as Wei Linglan.

Wang Congshan picked up her phone and tapped a few times, her expression changed from slightly surprised to astonished.

"What happened?"

Li Ang ate his food, not lifting his head.

"My cousin, on behalf of the Mobile Detachment, seeks you."

Wang Congshan's expression grew serious, "Ah Ang, it's about you, it's out."

Li Ang's heartbeat, almost imperceptibly paused for a moment.
