In a voice hoarse from shouting, Committee Member Huang said to Zhang Lao and the others:

"Form groups of four and board different helicopters."

This was based on the number of people in the "Old Task Force."

Committee Member Huang didn't count Genaver, even though he already knew it was an intelligent being from "Mechanical Paradise." But it didn't possess human consciousness and wouldn't be sensed by "Doctor."

No longer having his view obstructed by the deep aluminum pot, Zhang Lao strode forward with vigor, heading towards one of the black helicopters, with Hong Guangming limping behind him.

These old "Salvation Army" warriors didn't request any weapons. On one hand, Zhang Lao and the others knew that ordinary weapons wouldn't be effective. On the other hand, the helicopters themselves had decent armament, and once "Doctor's" location was locked on, they could immediately launch air-to-ground missiles.

Watching Zhang Lao and the others board different helicopters one by one, yet failing to fill all the seats besides the pilots, Jiang Baimian muttered to herself:

"Could the one sleeping in Wubei already be seated on one of the helicopters? Or will he follow the convoy in the retreat?"

At that moment, Committee Member Huang turned his gaze to the "Old Task Force":

"You take the remaining one."

"Okay." Wearing a black trench coat and black sunglasses, Shang Jianyao hooked his right foot and tossed the small blue and black speaker into the air, then reached out and steadily caught it.

However, he didn't take the lead. Instead, he turned sideways, gesturing for Jiang Baimian to lead the way.

The attention to manners is back? Jiang Baimian grumbled silently and calmly walked towards the black helicopter parked not far away.

The five members of the "Old Task Force" uniformly sat in the back row, with Jiang Baimian on the far left, Shang Jianyao on the right, and Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genaver in the middle from left to right.

Seeing this, Committee Member Huang turned and ordered the remaining old "Salvation Army" warriors:

"Form your own groups and fill the empty seats on each helicopter.

"Hehe, leave one for me."

After instructing them, he turned to the staff and security guards beside him and smiled:

"You're all still young, so don't follow me and take this risk.

"But, you're not without any responsibility. Later, split into several small teams and drive different vehicles southwest along the Moonscale River."

As he spoke, Committee Member Huang asked Ding Ling:

"Did they give you the keys to their car?"

This referred to the "Old Task Force's" jeep.

Ding Ling nodded:

"They gave it to me as soon as we came downstairs."

Committee Member Huang said "Mmm":

"Then take a few people and drive that car out to wait outside the Anse settlement."

That was a forest farm-type settlement closest to Wubei.

After quickly explaining various matters, Committee Member Huang glanced at the helicopters, confirmed his position, and walked over quickly.

His security guards followed the predetermined plan and began inspecting the exteriors of all the helicopters to prevent anyone from quietly adding markings so that "Doctor" could identify the target's location.

Immediately afterward, they used anti-explosion forks, long bamboo poles, and other tools to poke and sweep, checking all climbable areas around the helicopters.

--"Invisibility" doesn't mean the entity doesn't exist. It just can't be seen, heard, or sensed. Once there is actual contact, that "Assassin" definitely cannot turn from solid to void, allowing long poles to pass through its body.

At the same time, the people inside the helicopters completed the confirmation of the remaining space.

Da da da, the propellers made a rapid spinning sound, and a strong wind surged on the ground.

Sitting in the front row by the window, Zhang Lao took advantage of the helicopter door not yet being closed, turned his body, revealed a smile, and waved to the old comrades on the other helicopters.

He shouted in a rather relaxed state:

"For all of humanity!"

Committee Member Huang and the others also smiled and waved their hands, vying to respond:

"For all of humanity!"

Unlike the solemnity and solemnity of the previous time, this time the shout was like a group of old friends leaving in their respective vehicles, heading to the next stop in their lives, and saying "See you at the destination" there.

Shang Jianyao, not wanting to fall behind, also leaned out and waved his hand with great enthusiasm:

"For all of humanity!"

Clang clang! The doors were completely closed, and the helicopters rose from the ground in the wind created by the propellers, circling and flying into the air, each heading in different directions.

Of course, they were generally going southwest along the Moonscale River.

On the helicopter where the "Old Task Force" was located, the considerable noise didn't affect Shang Jianyao's performance. He looked at the seemingly young pilot and blurted out in "astonishment":

"Aren't you an old warrior?"

The pilot straightened his back and laughed heartily:

"To protect the foundation of the 'Salvation Army,' to cover the evacuation of the Wubei people, we of the younger generation also have people willing to sacrifice and dare to sacrifice!

"And there are many like me on other helicopters."

Several old "Salvation Army" warriors in the same row as him and Shang Jianyao nodded with great satisfaction, and once again pressed their hands to their chests:

"For all of humanity!"

The pilot's hands were busy, unable to salute, and could only respond with the loudest volume:

"For all of humanity!"

Shang Jianyao then retracted his gaze, opened his tactical backpack, and took out the "Six Senses Beads" and the "Angel of Life" necklace.

While throwing these two items to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong respectively, he said:

"These are both items with special properties. Holding them in your hands might have miraculous effects."

At this critical moment, neither Bai Chen nor Long Yuehong wasted words. One held the "Six Senses Beads," and the other wrapped the "Angel of Life" necklace around himself.

Shang Jianyao also said to Jiang Baimian:

"You have the 'Chaos Right Hand,' which also has special properties, derived from strange psychological shadows, so I won't give you the Little Jade Buddha."

As he spoke, he flipped out the lake-green Little Jade Buddha and held it in his palm rather casually.

"Okay!" Jiang Baimian had already put on the "Chaos Right Hand," shivering.

In the noise of the spinning propellers and dancing wind, their conversations unconsciously increased in volume.

An old "Salvation Army" warrior in the front row listened with amazement:

"You have a lot of good stuff. It seems you've experienced a lot, no wonder you were targeted by the 'New World' strong."

Before Shang Jianyao could respond, the helicopter's airborne radio emitted a sound:

"Aircraft 1 confirmed safe."

"Aircraft 2 confirmed safe."

……

The young pilot picked up the communication device and gave the situation on this side:

"Aircraft 5 confirmed safe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aircraft 6 also began to provide feedback.

…………

"Aircraft 8 confirmed safe."

Zhang Lao looked at the pilot in the front row, turned his head, and smiled at Hong Guangming next to him:

"Kid, you were able to stand up, didn't disgrace our battalion!"

Hong Guangming said with embarrassment:

"Actually, I sometimes wonder if it would have been better if I had died on the battlefield back then. That way, I wouldn't have to see the current situation, I wouldn't have to be burdened by my children, and I wouldn't have to do those things against my conscience…"

This involved his own guilt, and he didn't want to mention it further. Instead, he asked:

"Battalion Commander, why aren't you wearing the aluminum pot? It might really be able to defend against the 'Heartless Disease' later."

--Zhang Lao had just told this old subordinate about the terror of the "New World" strong.

Hearing this, Zhang Lao shook his head and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"Actually, we all know that aluminum pots can't prevent the 'Heartless Disease.'

"But mind control really exists! Some people will unknowingly change their personality and do things they wouldn't have done before. You were probably like that before, yes, definitely, until you were shocked by everyone's performance just now, and you returned to normal…"

Before Zhang Lao finished speaking, he suddenly saw Hong Guangming's face twist violently, saw his eyeballs quickly become cloudy, and saw veins protruding.

"Guangming…" The second half of Zhang Lao's words got stuck in his throat, and he made a ho-ho-ho sound, as if he had turned into a wild beast that couldn't speak human language.

In just a few seconds, everyone in the helicopter was infected with the "Heartless Disease."

The helicopter flew on an increasingly strange trajectory and crashed to the ground not long after.

Boom!

A ball of fire rose.

…………

"Aircraft 7 confirmed safe."

Zzz…

During the second round of reporting, no one responded after Aircraft 7 for a long time.

It took several seconds before a voice rang out:

"Aircraft 1 confirmed safe…"

Without the pilot needing to explain, Long Yuehong and the others knew clearly in their minds:

Something had happened to Aircraft 8.

"Doctor" had really come!

Just as this realization flashed through their minds, the pilot, who knew the numbers and had been observing, said in a deep voice:

"It was the one Zhang Lao and the others were on."

Zhang Lao… Long Yuehong suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his emotions.

A faint sadness quickly permeated the interior of the entire helicopter.

On Aircraft 3, Committee Member Huang, who also knew the situation with the numbers, couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Zhang ah…" He felt that one less pillar supporting his memory.

Just then, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, accompanied by intense dizziness.

"Heartless Disease"! Such a cognition suddenly flashed in Committee Member Huang's heart.

He tried his best to mobilize his spirit, urging his own consciousness to resist this abnormality, but his vision became darker and darker, and his thoughts became slower and slower.

Before long, Committee Member Huang felt that he couldn't hold on any longer.

Relying on a tenacious belief, he opened his mouth and shouted loudly:

"For all…"

These were words that had accompanied him through his long life, through dangerous situations, and through repeated loss and confusion.

At the end of the words, a beast-like roar replaced the word "humanity," Committee Member Huang's eyes quickly became cloudy, and countless blood streaks appeared.

Soon, the helicopter, which had lost its driver, crashed into a nearby mountain peak.

Boom!

A fireball bloomed in mid-air.

…………

"Aircraft 1 confirmed safe."

"Aircraft 2 confirmed safe."

After a moment of silence, the pilot on Aircraft 5 said with a sob:

"Committee Member Huang and the others have sacrificed themselves."

Committee Member Huang… Long Yuehong's heart trembled, as if he had already seen the shadow of death.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Bai Chen next to him:

"I…"

Bai Chen interrupted him:

"We'll talk about it later, we'll definitely survive!"

At this moment, Shang Jianyao raised his right hand holding the Little Jade Buddha with a solemn expression and pressed it against his left chest.

"For all of humanity!" he shouted in a deep voice.

The old "Salvation Army" warriors in the front row, who had lowered their heads because of Committee Member Huang's death, raised their heads at the same time.

Their eyes seemed to have a glimmer of water, and their right hands were pressed against their left chests in unison.

"For all of humanity!"

Firm and passionate voices echoed inside the helicopter.
