Chapter 693: Chapter 337: Aftermath
```
Yuki was driving the vehicle nervously, one of the several screens in front of him was always observing the sky.
After the task was handed over by Yuan Wenren, Yuki spent some time catching up with the breakout forces at the edge of the city. This force was also found by another group of Heroes and joined together.
Before leaving the city, Yuki used the public network for the last time to download a satellite weather map—these things were public, after all.
The government does not even prohibit ordinary people from launching private satellites. However, correspondingly, if a private satellite impedes the operation of a Protector’s military satellite, the Protector will not hesitate to treat it as space debris for recovery.
After leaving the city, Yuki dug out the vehicle he had buried outside the city.
Liu Ri, shamelessly accompanied by Panic, came up and insisted on joining Yuki in carrying out an important mission. Yuki didn’t want to argue further, so he agreed.
For the first fifteen minutes, it was Liu Ri who was driving. It was during this period that Yuki finally got a chance to check the USB drive.
Stored inside the USB was an AI. According to the accompanying text explanation, this AI possessed some of Xiang Shan’s characteristics. If it fell into the hands of someone with an agenda, it could possibly directly expose Xiang Shan’s identity. At present, Xiang Shan only trusted Yuki with it.
But Yuki had come to realize something else.
His master would soon openly use his own name again.
Otherwise, that old... cough, that cautious tactician would never take the risk of "exposing his identity" to let Yuki do such a thing.
For Xiang Shan, that’s the way things were. Kanhara Shinhara, a disciple from the past, had appeared within the Six Dragons Sect. From that moment on, Xiang Shan’s exposure was on a countdown.
The only concern for the Six Dragons Sect was "how to convey this information to the government without exposing the existence of Kanhara Shinhara".
But this was not an insurmountable problem.
It was precisely because of such a situation that Xiang Shan planned to reveal his identity.
Today, "Xiang Shan" was no longer the person from history. The Martial God who had reincarnated ten times had already turned this person into a symbol of "the mob rebelling against tyranny," a symbol of "violence," a cultural phenomenon.
Introducing this unique "historic event" had to be handled well.
Yuki didn’t know all this content—he still didn’t even know he had a sister who had gone to the Demon Sect.
A hint of excitement felt subtly present in his heart.
Then, he saw a fire wire slicing through the sky, followed by dozens more in just a few seconds.
"Head over there!" Yuki immediately shouted, "Follow those ’Meteors’!"
The USB drive also contained several documents instructing Yuki "if a certain situation arises, it means that the battle had progressed to a certain stage, and you need to do something."
So many rockets flying towards the distance indicated that the master had orchestrated the best scenario.
These rockets would automatically descend upon detecting cloud cover.
And Yuki’s task was to recover the two most important items among them.
Of course, this mission was not without risks. A Prosthetic Body from above the First Heavenly Layer was enough for the orbital forces to carry out an airborne operation.
In addition, it was also possible that the government personnel would directly use orbital bombardment to blow up the Prosthetic Body, along with the surrounding area.
Upon receiving the news, the local Lord would also send out his troops.
However, Yuki knew the operating logic of those things.
Several hours later, Yuki stood in front of a towering headless body. Even without a head, the height of this body still dwarfed Yuki.
Liu Ri, carrying a set of Camouflage Equipment, said, "Hurry up, these clouds could move away at any moment... Damn, is that Moonlight on the horizon..."
```
Yuki remained silent, opened the already loosened interface, inserted the USB drive, then pulled a data cable from his wrist and connected it to the prosthetic body.
Soon, the prosthetic body started to move again.
He grabbed the camouflage equipment and draped it over himself.
It was a high-tech camouflage net capable of fooling satellites.
The huge prosthetic body gently hopped onto the vehicle Yuki had prepared.
Afterward, a white light surged over the horizon like a tidal wave. The large patch of clouds in the sky was drifting away.
The moon came out.
Yuki said, "Let’s continue south according to the plan. As for the remaining equipment, recover as much as possible."
That night, a series of battles erupted nearby. All the fights were about the equipment that had been launched from Amilcare.
The local heroes who didn’t make it to Pine Eagle City in time, or the remaining Green Forest squads from the Old Continent... The participants in the battles were quite diverse.
Even several orbital airborne troops joined the fray from their satellite orbits.
But that night, the government didn’t find the body from above the First Heavenly Layer.
It had vanished.
For the government, this was truly disastrous news.
High-level military officer Fraser, who came to Pine Eagle City to clean up this mess, received his first report, which was such bad news.
"Unsightly," Fraser sighed.
Behind him, his adjutant Hamuki followed step by step.
Hamuki spoke up, "Commander... I feel something is off about the people here."
"What?"
"Just... something is off." Hamuki stared at a woman in the distance. The woman’s degree of cyberization wasn’t high; she retained much of her flesh, including her complete facial features.
It was then that Hamuki realized what was wrong: "The look in their eyes... I think their eyes are giving something away."
Fraser activated the other prosthetic eyes around him to observe: "Hmm, there is something to that."
"This is bad, Commander," Hamuki said. "After what happened yesterday, the likelihood of this city harboring anti-human elements has greatly increased. I understand these people. Their minds are easily corrupted."
"Oh, perhaps," Fraser replied.
"So..."
"What do you want to do?" Fraser sighed, "Kill all these people? That wouldn’t be good. We are, after all, protectors of human civilization. They haven’t reached the ’presumed anti-human’ state. Killing them would definitely cause controversy."
Within the Protectorate, there was no "norm" or "standard." "Having controversy" of course meant "having a negative impact on one’s own future."
"So we just leave them be?"
"This area wasn’t under my jurisdiction in the first place. It’s just that it temporarily lost protection, so I’m temporarily managing it," said Fraser, waving his hand, "Besides, that’s precisely where the maliciousness of the hero lies."
"Ah?"
Fraser explained, "No one can distinguish between ’a minor oversight committed unintentionally’ and ’a minor sabotage carried out deliberately.’ If we start to clear out ’those who appear to be supporters of chivalrous power’ here, then we should also clear out all the soldiers who aren’t so efficient, combat personnel who practice martial arts a bit too diligently, regular officers who appropriate supplies, and formal military officers with mental issues."
