Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 390: Chapter 186 Ark Messenger

Within the official teams, the ones with the highest casualty rate were always the Ye Boshou of each squad.

In the Giant City, Processors could call for support, with the assistance of the Giant City army and logistical forces.

But in the outside world, the Ye Boshou often faced the predicament of isolation with no support.

They left the shelter of the Giant City, clashing with the wilderness and the Forbidden Zone.

Hunting down Extraordinary Creatures for humanity, gathering intelligence on the Forbidden Zone, eliminating potential threats.

Every Spiritual Ability User who became a Ye Boshou understood the dangers they might face.

This is within the Forbidden Zone, and although it is a remote city, it is still heavily guarded.

There’s a Sixth Sense, Four-Winged Angel, along with a considerable number of strong Angels. And a vast Servant Army.

Rationally speaking, people like Li Yelai should not be embarking on dangerous rescues, as it may result in even more losses.

But for Li Yelai and others to simply watch as their compatriots, their comrades, were executed in the Forbidden Zone was also something hard to endure.

Gu Yue spoke up, ”If we do not act, I won’t be able to forgive myself...”

”Indeed, who could endure watching their comrades being humiliated and defiled by an Alien Race?” Long Lie added, ”But looking at the current situation, this seems to be a trap.”

”Now, how many of our people are there in the Forbidden Zone?” Li Yelai inquired, ”There must be quite a few Ye Boshou in the Heavenly Kingdom, right?”

Just the four divisions and one headquarters of No.3 Border City alone had nearly a thousand Ye Boshou.

Added to the other three Giant Cities, theoretically, the number of Ye Boshou in this Forbidden Zone was actually quite substantial.

If they could gather all the Ye Boshou active within the Forbidden Zone, attacking and taking down this city wouldn’t be a problem.

Of course, the consequences would be grave, as failing to evacuate swiftly would surely attract the attention of Overlord Level powerhouses and many more Forbidden Zone Creatures.

”We’re not sure, but we’ve tried to spread the word as best as we can,” said Gu Yue, ”Currently, only we from No.3 Border City have made it to Silver Mountain City.”

”There isn’t enough time, and the Forbidden Zone is too vast; many of the Ye Boshou squads probably haven’t even received the message, let alone made it to Silver Mountain City,” added Long Lie.

From the outside, the Forbidden Zone seems smaller than the Giant City but in reality, its internal space is dozens of times larger than that of the Giant City; entering the Forbidden Zone is like entering another world. The Ye Boshou scattered to the four corners of the earth have great difficulty contacting one another.

”What about the other Giant Cities?” said Li Yelai, ”Little Mad King told me there are three Ye Boshou teams inside this Silver Mountain City.”

”There’s a high probability they’re from No.2 Border City. Each Giant City has its own independent method of communication, and it’s very difficult for us to find them,” said Long Lie, ”If there were more than twenty, even more, Ye Boshou acting together, I would feel confident... but...”

Li Yelai also sighed inwardly; it all came down to individual choices.

The communication barrier made it so no one knew precisely how many allies were in Silver Mountain City.

If everyone had a unified thought, there might still be hope.

But now, with no way to make contact and uncertain of what the other teams might choose... the other teams might see the risk as too great and opt to give up.

After all, attempting a rescue on an enemy’s prepared battlefield is irrational.

Those who step forward would be fighting a losing battle...

Damn, currently unable to trade with Mr. Shadow, otherwise, I’d directly blow up the Forbidden Zone!

”If we had more time, perhaps the Giant City could react,” Gu Yue murmured, ”As of now, we don’t even know if the Giant City has received the message.”

At these words, everyone’s heart sank.

The Forbidden Zone would execute three Ye Boshou on the 25th, and now it was the night of the 22nd; the time was far too tight.

”If only we could communicate with the Giant City in real time, if the Giant City could react, we could coordinate...” Long Lie sighed.

But something clicked in Li Yelai’s mind; real-time communication?

He indeed couldn’t do that, but he could, in fact, make contact with the Giant City!

Then, Li Yelai quickly spoke, ”Please help me write down all the current intelligence, I have a way to notify the Giant City right now. And receive a reply shortly!”

Long Lie and Gu Yue looked astonished, knowing they were deep within the Forbidden Zone, separated by vast regions of the Forbidden Zone and its boundaries, as well as wilderness and uninhabited areas.

Even the straight-line aerial distance would take a Spiritual Ability User a long time to traverse, not to mention having to bypass those fortresses and danger zones.

”Can you really do it?” Gu Yue asked with a frown.

Li Yelai, seeing the surprise on their faces, continued, ”Due to authorization, I can’t disclose to them what the method is, but please trust me.”

Although Long Lie and the others were surprised, they quickly took out paper and pens to write down all the intelligence about the Forbidden Zone, with Gu Yue adding details on the sidelines.

Of course, they chose to trust Li Yelai.

Li Yelai himself might not understand, but how could these experienced members not see? Li Yelai was the one Yang Chen favored as an inheritor, very likely to be the next Champion.

Furthermore, Li Yelai’s past actions had already proven his mettle.

Even if someone were to betray the Giant City, betray humanity, it wouldn’t be him!

Soon the information was compiled: the Black Origin City convoy, the execution at Silver Mountain City, Mei Wu becoming the Executioner, the known friendly forces within Silver Mountain City, and so on, were all elaborated on in detail.

Afterward, Long Lie handed the paper to Li Yelai and asked, ”Do you need anything else?”

”A quiet room, and I need you to protect me, no disturbances,” Li Yelai said.

Then, the ever-silent Little Mad King spoke up, ”This miraculous ability... does it come with any danger?”
