Seeing this, Yu Erlan shook his head slightly, reattached the cage to the side of the battle armor, and turned to sit down in his seat.
In no ti, two figures leaped into the cabin one after the other.
The commander of the Blood Dragon Corps, Pang Yuan.
The commander of the Happiness Corps, Chang Shichu.
After landing, they imdiately reported:
"City Lord Yuan, the Fear-Eating Snail has been captured."
Chang Shichu held a crystal ball in his hand, inside which lay a creature resembling a large African snail, with its shell covered in countless miniature human faces, frozen in fear and silence.
"City Lord Yuan, the Nightmare Vine has been captured."
Pang Yuan similarly held a crystal ball, inside was a mass of pitch-black vine. It seed unremarkable, yet its aura was far more formidable than the Fear-Eating Snail, just slightly inferior to the C35 at Yu Erlan's waist.
"Very good."
Yuan Gang nodded slightly, and the staff behind him imdiately sent out orders: "Threats in sectors C and D have been completely cleared, prepare to initiate cleanup operations imdiately!"
The two of them put away their crystal balls, sat down next to Yu Erlan, and closed their eyes to rest.
More than ten minutes later, another figure broke through the rain curtain and leaped into the cabin, causing the three to finally open their eyes.
"City Lord Yuan, the capture of 'Water Monkey' failed, it has escaped for now."
Aubrey Dean appeared grave, although he spoke of failure, he was actually holding two crystal balls.
On the left was a fiery red ant, and on the right a caterpillar resembling the infection source of Green Giant.
"It has controlled two Mother Sources, speculating it has entered the third stage."
What?
Except for Yuan Gang, whose expression remained unchanged, Yu Erlan, Pang Yuan, and Chang Shichu all showed expressions of shock.
Mother Sources inherently repel each other; to control two simultaneously, while also breaking through to the third stage, ans the threat level of the "Water Monkey" has far exceeded expectations.
"Not controlled, it must be... the influence of a Wanderer."
Yuan Gang pondered a mont and concluded, "But since it might have entered the third stage, I'll leave this to you... Send the latest location of the Water Monkey."
As he spoke, he slightly leaned out of the cabin, seemingly intending to personally pursue it.
Yet before he finished speaking, a gentle yet irresistible force pulled him back into the cabin.
The pitch-black night sky.
An elder approached against the wind, standing quietly outside the cabin.
His face was kind, but his eyes seed to contain an entire galaxy, their depth disorienting anyone who looked.
His stature wasn't tall, but he exuded mountain-like majesty, standing there like a phantom woven of reality and illusion, clearly visible yet mysteriously ethereal.
The C35 locked in the cage seed to have discovered a new world, suddenly shouting frantically, "Hahaha, you truly are playing with fire! Not only do you utilize the Mother Sources to purify humanity, but you're also trying to create even greater disasters."
"Director Zhang guessed right! The so-called industrial developnt of Happiness City is really just a guise to deceive other Shelter Cities, you indeed have much grander sches! However, at this point, you can't turn back! Hahahahaha!"
His howls caught the attention of the elder outside the cabin.
"Elder Zeng..." Yuan Gang montarily stopped breathing, hurriedly trying to use his ability to silence the C35, but was stopped by the elder with a slight wave of his hand.
Elder Zeng stepped into the cabin, speaking serenely, "Little Yuan, let him speak."
"What did you discover?"
He raised his hand gently, and the cage hanging on Yu Erlan's waist floated, suspended in the center of the cabin.
"Old man! You! Your body has sealed at least two Extraordinary Creatures! You've turned yourself into a container for Source Attraction, hahaha!"
The elder smiled without speaking.
Yu Yong scread more frantically, his words incoherent yet brimming with schadenfreude, "I knew it! I knew it!"
"You all signed the Firewood Covenant, clearly agreeing not to research individual Extraordinaries! But now... you've breached the contract! The doom of Happiness City is coming soon!"
"Is that so?"
Elder Zeng shook his head slightly, looking at Yu Erlan with a faint smile in his voice, "Little Yu, it seems this ti's Red Notice is not of high quality, rember to tell him the real reason why Firewood was willing to sign the covenant with us."
"Yes!"
Yu Erlan got up quickly, silencing the C35.
Just as he was about to explain, he changed his words, "Elder, there's no need for you to chase the Water Monkey, let go..."
"You can't." Elder Zeng's gaze swept across everyone, his voice calm yet carrying undeniable authority, "You, Little Pang, Aubrey, and Yuan Gang, none of you can use your abilities for the rest of the year."
After speaking, his eyes fell on Yu Erlan, "Especially you, having just entered the third stage, your foundation is unstable and you are already teetering on the verge of losing control."
"Yes!"
Yu Erlan lowered his head in response, a trace of solemnity flashing across his face inside the helt.
"Alright, you have done enough, it's ti for us elders to stretch our muscles a bit."
Elder Zeng's voice beca increasingly ethereal, as if flowing with the wind and rain, "This world ultimately belongs to ordinary people. Continuing to rely on such powers will only make order's loss of control easier, and then we will return to the endless cycle of the previous era."
Before he finished speaking, his figure gradually beca transparent, seemingly rging into the rain, yet his voice still echoed within the cabin:
"Go back and apply to seal yourselves. Without my order, none of you four are allowed to use your abilities again. Experience the life of ordinary people, their joys and sorrows, and when you have reintegrated into the group, regained that faith, co find to lift the seal."
Boom.
A glaring flash of lightning split the night sky, illuminating it as bright as day.
The clouds shrouding Happiness City dissipated slightly in an instant, the dense raindrops seed to be montarily frozen in mid-air by an invisible force, pausing for several seconds before crashing down again.
