Chapter 532: Chapter 531: The Aftermath of the Teleportation Incident

After leaving the First Military Region, Wu Tianyan got into a specially-made official car.

He leaned back in his seat, appearing tired, and closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep. For the elderly man, this period was a precious opportunity to rest.

Secretary Sun took out a spare blanket and carefully draped it over him.

"Sun."

"Wu Lao," Secretary Sun hesitated, "Why don’t you rest for a while and we can talk about anything when we get back to Tingming Pavilion?"

"Sigh..." Wu Tianyan sat up and rubbed his forehead, "There are things to do when we get back. At my age, if I don’t talk about it now, I’ll forget once things get busy later."

Secretary Sun had no choice but to take out his notebook, "Then please, go ahead."

"There are a few things to note down."

"First, tell the people at the Foreign Affairs Department to accelerate the negotiation process; the terms can be slightly relaxed. As long as they do not involve any principled issues, we can negotiate."

"Second, about the Teleportation Array, have the research institute’s joint team speed up the work." He paused, "If it really can’t be helped, then ask Shao Zifeng. He was the first to come into contact with this thing; he might have some suggestions."

Recalling the spatial vortex from the video, Wu Tianyan felt some anxiety. With such a heaven-defying object in existence, their transport aircraft’s long-distance delivery capabilities were practically negligible.

The vast territories of the Da Xia realm, if the problem of deploying combat power wasn’t resolved, there would be no fight to speak of.

Scratch, scratch, scratch.

Secretary Sun wrote down Wu Tianyan’s words with swift strokes, then hesitated slightly before saying, "Wu Lao, about the National Cup event..."

"Continue with it," Wu Tianyan said decisively. "No matter what, it must go on. Although the current situation is grim, we absolutely must not let this anxiety spread among the populace. Only if we are stable inside can we deal with external issues with our hands untied."

He patted his head, "Speaking of which, I just remembered, that ’Civilian Combat Training Master Support Plan’ mentioned by the think tank also needs to be accelerated in implementation. It’s best to start on a small scale with some civilian experts, and then when the time is ripe, roll it out on a larger scale."

At this point, Secretary Sun’s pen came to a halt. He said with some difficulty, "Wu Lao, regarding this matter, there are still differing opinions within the council. If you insist on going ahead, all the pressure will fall on your shoulders."

Wu Tianyan spoke calmly, "I know. They are worried that empowering civilian strength could lead to an increase in crime rates, but the military alone cannot resolve the current situation. I trust our ethnic compatriots will make the right choice in the face of great justice. The Da Xia people have thrived for thousands of years, not by the deeds of officials, but by the convictions etched into our bloodline."

"Besides, many of the civilian experts are retired soldiers. I believe they will not let us down. Even if they’ve taken off their uniforms, as long as the people need them, they will still selflessly shoulder their mission."

"I understand," Secretary Sun nodded gravely.

Having finished discussing these matters, Wu Tianyan leaned back in his seat, exhausted. As tranquility and peace drew closer outside the car window, a content smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Imperial Capital Airport.

Shao Zifeng looked up at the transport planes landing one after another, his face reflecting a trace of wistfulness in the light of the setting sun.

He had been inexplicably sent to survive on a deserted island, and before he could come to terms with it, he had just as inexplicably returned to the Imperial Capital.

Thinking about the past few days felt like an absurd dream.

The people in the waiting hall were bustling about. A few of them were covered in dirt, but they did not feel uncomfortable because everyone else coming and going was dressed just like them. Some were even worse off than them.

Such as the girl who just walked by, her face sunburnt to the point of peeling.

"Shao Zifeng! Over here!"

Yu Xiaoyu stood in the crowd, waving a large sign incessantly.

The sign read [Welcome Home, Su City University Students.]

Shao Zifeng and his companions exchanged glances, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

Only Hu Shiwu was excitedly waving his hands, "Xiaoyu, we’re over here! Here!!"

Feeling the strange looks from those around him, Shao Zifeng grabbed Hu Shiwu by the collar and said, "Let’s go, let’s go, hurry up."

Just then, a familiar figure walked past not far from them.

Shao Zifeng was stunned for a moment, feeling that the figure looked somewhat familiar.

"What are you looking at?" Yu Xiaoyu, taking advantage of her long legs, quickly ran over.

"Nothing," Shao Zifeng came back to his senses, "By the way, Teacher Xiaoyu, what exactly happened? Why did they suddenly bring us back?"

Yu Xiaoyu looked around and, with a sly wink, whispered, "Let’s talk on the bus."

...

"Wow, what on earth is this huge vortex?"

"It’s actually quite beautiful."

On the minibus, several people leaned over Yu Xiaoyu’s shoulder, exclaiming in surprise as they watched the video.

"So, what do you think?" Yu Xiaoyu turned off her phone with a smug expression, "You have no idea how lively the internet has been these past two days. I had nothing to do yesterday and watched those silly netizens’ wild theories all night, almost laughed myself to death."

Li Yiren spoke unhappily, "Teacher Xiaoyu, as our team leader, shouldn’t you be worried sick about us? How do you have the time to watch those silly netizens?"

"Burp..." Yu Xiaoyu blinked and pinched Li Yiren’s cheek, "Oh, don’t sweat the details. When we get to the hotel, Big Sis will take you for a spa."

Perhaps because she was close in age to them, Teacher Yu Xiaoyu wasn’t very formal when communicating with the students, which was why they all liked chatting with her.

"Such a loss." Hu Shiwu lamented with deep emotion, "The team leader had to pick some island. If you ask me, choosing the big snow mountain would’ve been more thrilling. I might even have made it onto TV."

"You might have ended up staying there," Xiang Nan quietly added.

"That can’t happen," Hu Shiwu said cheerfully, "With my constitution, ordinary avalanches and earthquakes wouldn’t even notice me."

"Exactly," Xiang Nan threw in another jab, "If they can’t find you, you won’t even make it onto the missing persons list."

Hu Shiwu’s facial expression became stiff as he glared at him fiercely, "Loser."

"Hmph," Xiang Nan’s mouth twitched, then he turned his head away in disdain, "I didn’t lose to you. Last time I was fighting with Casar!"

"Argh!" Hu Shiwu’s face turned red with anger, he was about to say something when Casar covered his mouth.

Shao Zifeng ignored the squabbling of others and pondered over the video he had seen.

They did not know what it was since they hadn’t experienced it, but Shao Zifeng had seen the Teleportation Array with his own eyes at the ice dome’s Point A.

The appearance of such an Array within the boundaries of the Great Xia was not a good sign.

The key was that the South Pole was thousands of miles away from the Great Xia. How did those foreign beings pinpoint the coordinates of the Great Xia?

It should be noted that there had never been an Array before this.

Unless...

A possibility suddenly occurred to Shao Zifeng.

It was the transportation stones that had been brought back.

Other than that, he could think of nothing else that would expose the coordinates of the Great Xia.

This was not a good sign at all.
