A curtain?
The scene that suddenly appeared before her eyes caused Li Lianyi’s pupils to widen instantly!
As a descendant of the Li family, she had accompanied Li Guyi to the ancient battlefield of Loulan and had been paying attention to matters in the martial arts world.
Especially after meeting Jiang Wuming, she made following Jiang Wuming's movements and the affairs of the martial arts world a daily habit.
She knew very well what the appearance of the curtain meant – extraterrestrial enemies were about to descend here!
This caused Li Lianyi, who was known for her composure and calmness, to panic for a moment!
In her panic, she shook her head wildly, closed her eyes, and then reopened them, trying to get a clearer look.
As a result, she still saw the curtain.
Although the curtain was still blurry, it had truly appeared in the courtyard of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
"Hoo!"
After confirming that the curtain had indeed appeared in the courtyard, Li Lianyi took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and quickly turned around. She strode to the table, grabbed her mobile phone, found Yun Yan's number, and dialed.
Yun Yan was Li Lianyi's bodyguard and had always been responsible for her safety, following her wherever she went.
Back then, Li Lianyi had brought Yun Yan when she went to the Su family to celebrate Su Yuanshan's birthday.
"Uncle Yun, a curtain has appeared in the courtyard. It's likely that extraterrestrial enemies are about to descend! Go downstairs immediately and notify all the expert teachers at the top of your lungs, telling them to come downstairs and leave at once!" Li Lianyi said quickly after the call connected.
"Alright… alright, Miss!"
Yun Yan had vaguely sensed energy fluctuations in the courtyard and was about to go to the window to look when he suddenly received Li Lianyi's call, which startled him!
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Yan rushed to the window and saw the blurry curtain in the courtyard. His expression changed again!
Then, Yun Yan pushed open the window and jumped directly from the third floor.
"Esteemed expert teachers, I am Li Lianyi's bodyguard! A curtain has appeared in the courtyard of the research institute, and extraterrestrial enemies are about to descend. It's extremely dangerous. Everyone, please go downstairs immediately and leave by car!"
After landing, Yun Yan roared with his internal energy, simultaneously rushing towards the curtain.
As he spoke, he was already standing beside the curtain, vaguely seeing a figure within it.
This discovery tightened his heart. He then withdrew his gaze and continued to shout towards the apartment building of the research institute, repeating his previous words!
As a martial artist at the seventh stage of a one-star War God, Yun Yan's voice, after circulating his internal energy, was as loud as thunder, exploding in the courtyard. All the experts in the research institute heard his words.
A curtain?
Extraterrestrial enemies descending?
For a moment, almost all the experts were stunned.
Some of them were experts in the field of pharmaceuticals, some in genetics, and some in medicine, covering multiple disciplines.
In the past, they did not know about the existence of extraterrestrial enemies. It was only after joining the War God Research Institute that they understood their mission and signed confidentiality agreements.
Immediately, almost all the experts walked to the window and saw Yun Yan standing in the courtyard, as well as a blurry curtain. However, none of them moved to go downstairs immediately.
Firstly, they had not yet recovered from their shock.
They had not expected that the legendary extraterrestrial enemies would be so close to them!
Secondly, although they were all aware of the existence of extraterrestrial enemies, they knew very little about them and were not clear about how powerful and terrifying they truly were!
Just then, a white figure appeared in their sight.
Li Lianyi.
After calling Yun Yan, she had immediately rushed downstairs.
This was because she knew very well that these experts only knew about the existence of extraterrestrial enemies, but did not know how dangerous their current situation was!
"Esteemed expert teachers, you can all see this curtain beside me! It is the gateway connecting the extraterrestrial world to ours! Soon, extraterrestrial enemies will emerge from the curtain! We must leave here before the extraterrestrial enemies step out of the curtain, or all of us will die here—please go downstairs immediately and leave, quickly!!"
After descending, Li Lianyi rushed to Yun Yan's side as quickly as possible and roared with all her might.
"Ah—"
"Hurry up and go!!"
Hearing Li Lianyi utter the word "death," the experts finally realized the seriousness of the situation and rushed out of their rooms, exclaiming.
"Hoo… hoo… hoo…"
Li Lianyi stood in place, breathing heavily.
Although her physical fitness surpassed that of ordinary people, she still belonged to the category of ordinary humans.
Just now, she had been running all the way and then shouting with all her might, causing her breathing to become labored.
"Miss, currently there is only one extraterrestrial enemy in the curtain. His aura is approximately at the ninth stage of a one-star War God. I am no match for him. You go first!"
At the same time, Yun Yan said to Li Lianyi with a solemn expression.
Although the figure of the extraterrestrial enemy in the curtain was not yet clear, Yun Yan could already vaguely sense the opponent's aura.
"No, I must wait for all the experts to come down before I can leave!"
Li Lianyi's breathing calmed down, and she shook her head firmly.
"But, Miss…"
"These experts joined the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute because of me, because of the Li family. Moreover, it was I who chose the location of the research institute here. Now that extraterrestrial enemies are about to descend here, how can I leave before them?"
Li Lianyi directly interrupted Yun Yan, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
As she spoke, Li Lianyi took out her phone and immediately dialed Jiang Wuming's number.
"Jiang Wuming, where are you?"
When the call connected, Li Lianyi spoke first, trying her best to keep her tone calm.
"I'll be there in about twenty minutes. What's wrong?" Jiang Wuming glanced at the estimated time on the navigation and sensed something unusual about Li Lianyi, so he asked.
"A curtain appeared in the courtyard of the research institute just now…"
Li Lianyi spoke again.
However—
This time, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Jiang Wuming: "A curtain? Are you sure? If it's true, have everyone in the research institute leave immediately!"
As he spoke, Jiang Wuming pulled over.
"I'm sure. I'm standing beside the curtain right now and organizing the evacuation." Li Lianyi said quickly.
"How many enemies are in the curtain? Have their figures and auras appeared?" Jiang Wuming asked as he stopped the car and opened the door to get out.
"Currently, there is only one enemy. Uncle Yun said the enemy should be at the ninth stage of a one-star War God!"
Li Lianyi said, glancing at the dark figure in the curtain. She felt an inexplicable palpitation, as if the opponent could sense her gaze.
"If there is only one enemy, or if the first wave only consists of one enemy, the descent will be very fast—once the enemy's figure becomes clear, have your bodyguard take you away immediately, or you will all die!
Also, I am rushing there at full speed now and will arrive within ten minutes!"
Jiang Wuming warned, as he had met Yun Yan and knew that Yun Yan was only at the seventh stage of a one-star War God, no match for the extraterrestrial enemy at the ninth stage of a one-star War God.
"Okay."
Li Lianyi softly agreed, then hung up the phone and said to Yun Yan beside her:
"Uncle Yun, these experts are older, and their legs and feet are not agile. Moreover, they are very panicked right now. When people are panicked, their movements can be distorted. This could easily lead to them falling and spraining their ankles. Let's go help them downstairs."
"Yes, Miss!"
Yun Yan hesitated, but seeing Li Lianyi had already rushed towards the apartment building, he could only obey. He glanced at the increasingly clear curtain, his figure flashed, he moved past Li Lianyi, and was the first to rush into the apartment building.
At the same time.
After ending his conversation with Li Lianyi, Jiang Wuming heard a "ding" sound from the special communicator on his wrist, which resembled a watch.
"Dragon Guard Squad, Jiang Wuming!"
Jiang Wuming activated his true qi to surge into his Yongquan acupoints, moving like a human lightning bolt towards the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute, while answering the call.
"Greetings, General Jiang Wuming! This is the Army Command Center dispatch! We just received a report from the Hangzhou office that energy fluctuations of an extraterrestrial curtain have appeared in Hangzhou, at the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute…"
On the other end of the line, the dispatcher from the command center quickly conveyed information to Jiang Wuming.
"I have just learned of the situation at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute and am rushing to the scene at full speed!"
Jiang Wuming interrupted the dispatcher as soon as he mentioned the location.
"Also, I have already notified the personnel at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute to evacuate immediately, so you don't need to contact the police to inform them again, but I need you to do something for me."
"What?"
"Using the police's Tianwang system, retrieve the surveillance footage from the courtyard of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute. The moment the enemy descends or any special situation occurs, inform me immediately!" Jiang Wuming said quickly.
"Yes!"
The dispatcher acknowledged the order and then found that the call had been disconnected.
Jiang Wuming ended the call and immediately used the special communicator on his wrist, similar to a watch, to contact Qin Xiaozhi.
"Brother Zhi, bring the team immediately and rush to the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute at the fastest speed!"
When the call connected, Jiang Wuming spoke first and issued the order.
Although Li Lianyi had said that there was only one enemy at the ninth stage of a one-star War God in the curtain at the moment, Jiang Wuming could not be sure if that enemy was the first wave. As a precaution, he asked Qin Xiaozhi to bring Xingtian, Dongfang Xiaoyao, and Huangfu Weixia to the scene.
Moreover, according to the regulations of the Dragon Guard Squad, the entire team must be deployed once there is a mission involving the descent of extraterrestrial enemies.
"Yes!"
Qin Xiaozhi immediately acknowledged the order.
Jiang Wuming stopped talking nonsense, ended the call, and continued to rush towards the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute with all his might.
At this moment.
The young man's speed reached its limit, his heart filled with worry!
