Chapter 388: Chapter 272: Return to Rebirth Island

As for whether it was quite improper for him to just move the snail away like that, it indeed was a bit.

However, Zhang Xiaoman felt that the Abnormality Department actually didn’t lose out.

After all, he had just saved so many of their people and helped solve such a big problem, so taking some benefits now shouldn’t be an issue, right?

Moreover, there were so many plants scattered on the ground outside at this moment, these, frankly, were materials of research value, now given to the other party for free, which was much more worthwhile than this snail.

Zhang Xiaoman felt that at this moment, besides points and power, he seemed to have no other major pursuits.

Fame, he didn’t care about.

Power, actually didn’t matter either; after all, he already owned the Star Alliance. Speaking higher, his future goal was the vast universe.

As for money, he had even fewer thoughts about it; if it weren’t for operating the Star Alliance and the need for substantial funds for future technology development, he wouldn’t even deliberately earn money.

His energy now was focused on the Extraordinary Power; where did he have the time to care about too much else?

...

Just like that, no sooner had Zhang Xiaoman left than four helicopters flew over.

Hovering, landing.

Several helicopters settled down, and dozens of soldiers dressed in military protective suits rushed out. After a quick formation reorganization, they rapidly headed towards the interior of the building.

They launched assaults from various positions, confirming the situation floor by floor. This time, their main purpose was to rescue the injured here.

"Area A is secure, no abnormalities found!"

"Area B is secure, no abnormalities found!"

"Area C is secure, Area D is secure, no abnormalities found!"

The soldiers confirmed the status of each area respectively, and then dozens of medical personnel, carrying stretchers, came in and carried away the unconscious injured from the ground.

Third floor, outside the safe room.

The door here had already become deformed due to the vibration just now, and the external communication equipment was no longer functional.

The soldiers who came to rescue could only first use the most primitive method to knock on the door and ask about the situation; then they took out explosive devices and forcibly blasted the door open.

The poison mist in this small area had already been removed by purifiers; the personnel rushed in the moment the door opened, swiftly placing three sets of protective suits on the three individuals inside.

Mr. Wen had just awakened from unconsciousness at that time. He had sustained considerable injuries from the monster’s last AoE attack, with his chest already stained with blood.

However, fortunately, the elderly man was robust, and it seemed he was not in much trouble now.

"Where is number two? Where is number two? What happened afterwards?"

As soon as Mr. Wen woke up, he began asking about the monster’s situation, and the two young soldiers who were locked in the safe room with him also appeared clueless.

Because of the power outage, they had been trapped in the room the whole time and were unaware of what was happening outside.

"Director Wen, please remain calm. The monster was eliminated just now. What you need most now is rest and treatment."

Several medical personnel came over, speaking while they helped him onto the stretcher.

"The monster was eliminated? Did that person do it? Hmm...it’s fine, I’m okay, I don’t need a stretcher, I can walk on my own. Quickly, tell me what exactly happened just now!"

Several medical personnel laughed helplessly, with one of them saying,

"Mr. Wen, actually we also rushed here from the periphery of the Azure Dragon Army. After the monster used the Biological Pulse, all electronic devices within a 20-kilometer radius were paralyzed, and they still haven’t recovered..."

"So, we really don’t know what exactly happened here just now. If you have any questions, it’s best if you ask Minister Hu later."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wen first froze for a long while before snapping back to reality, and he immediately requested to meet Hu Hu.

However, even though he insisted he did not need treatment, how could the warriors simply let him leave just like that? Without another word, they put him on a plane and took him to the base’s treatment center.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoman was aboard Dawn and had swiftly covered a distance of over 3000 kilometers, arriving at the destination in just about ten minutes.

During the trip, his attention was focused on a snail, ready to throw it out at any sign of movement.

Fortunately, the creature was sensible enough to stay inside its shell from start to finish, showing no reaction even as they crossed Seven-star Lake and arrived at the island below.

"Star Rank, has the shield not recovered yet?"

As they passed the periphery of Seven-star Lake, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly noticed that the shield that should have been there was missing and immediately voiced his confusion.

"Star Lord, due to the Star Network Host being overloaded, the shield cannot be generated at the moment. We need to wait for the host to repair itself before it can be used."

"Oh? And how long might that take?"

"The estimated remaining time is 168 hours."

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head helplessly upon hearing this, realizing that the World Tree was not to be used lightly. Indeed, 168 hours was far too long.

It was only the initial stage of the base’s establishment now; if this were to happen later, when the entire base was operational, the consequences would definitely be even more severe.

The car stopped in front of the Final Gate. Zhang Xiaoman didn’t rush to seek out Lin Sisi and the others; instead, he ordered the Star Guard to move the snail out of the anti-gravity car and directly tossed it into the Original Realm.

"This thing looks so silly; if it weren’t for its high defensive power, it’d be totally at the mercy of others."

Watching the figure disappear into the portal, Zhang Xiaoman felt somewhat contemplative.

Previously, he had thought that all alien species had a terrifying, man-eating appearance.

But now, the appearance of this snail had somewhat shaken that notion.

After all, such an idiotic creature was quite rare even on Water Blue Star.

Not lingering any further, Zhang Xiaoman stepped through the Final Gate, traveling into the Original Realm.

The moment he entered, he saw a head with two eyes; it turned out that the snail had poked its head out from its shell at some unknown time.

The creature probably sensed the change in the environment and wanted to check things out.

However, upon seeing Zhang Xiaoman enter, it quickly retracted its head into the shell again.

Zhang Xiaoman was slightly stunned, not expecting that this snail could also survive in the Original Realm.

Though harmless to him, the Original Realm was theoretically a lethal environment for other forms of life.

After all, the Original Realm was essentially a vacuum—a place without the pressure, temperature, and other elements necessary for life, which currently remained unknown here.

Normally, any life form entering it would undoubtedly die.

However, there were always exceptions; for now, this snail was able to survive here unscathed, which was somewhat unexpected for him.
