"So big..." Long Yuehong, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Taicheng No.1 High School and sighed sincerely.
This was in stark contrast to the high school inside "Pangu Biology" that belonged to each floor.
-- Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, Yang Zhenyuan, and Meng Xia's grade only had about a dozen people.
Similarly, whether it was Wild Grass City, Initial City, or the schools in Wubei, none could compare.
As for the high schools in other city ruins, the "Old Task Force" had not been there before, so there was no comparison.
Shang Jianyao followed up with an exclamation:
"How many students must there be in one grade!"
"Is that the point? The point is that it's so big that finding anomalies will be quite troublesome!" Jiang Baimian rolled her eyes at the guy.
Bai Chen nodded:
"Indeed."
The previous three experiences had taught them that not every place in the Buddhist holy land was worth exploring; there was often only one anomaly.
-- The anomaly in Changhe City United Steel Plant was in Room 302, Building 4, Family Area 2; the anomaly in Tieshan City No. 2 Food Company was on the floor with the employee introduction column; the anomaly in Holm Reproductive Medical Center was in the reproductive material freezer.
Compared to Tieshan City No. 2 Food Company and Holm Reproductive Medical Center, which only had one building and a few floors, Taicheng No. 1 High School far surpassed them in terms of both area and the number of buildings.
This made it exponentially more difficult for the "Old Task Force" to investigate anomalies.
Although it still couldn't compare to the Steel Plant ruins, the "Old Task Force" had already obtained Fan Wensi's medical records in advance, allowing them to head straight to the suspected anomalies.
Genava's eyes flickered red a few times, and he offered his suggestion:
"You can let Wei hold the small jade Buddha, and use his perception to the greatest extent possible to screen area by area.
"If an anomaly is discovered along the way, the target is locked. If that doesn't work, narrow the scope and continue the investigation."
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment:
"That's the only way."
This was the relatively time-saving method among the stupid ones.
Of course, if it didn't go smoothly, all the time before dark would have to be spent here.
"Let's go in," Jiang Baimian then gave the order.
Bai Chen quickly drove the car to the entrance of Taicheng No.1 High School.
The aluminum-white electric retractable gate was blocking the way.
"I'll do it!" Shang Jianyao excitedly shouldered his single-soldier rocket launcher.
Jiang Baimian glanced at the guy:
"Be polite to the Buddhist holy land."
"Yes, Namo Anutpattika-Dharmakaya." Pudu Zen Master replaced the reckless Shang Jianyao.
Changhe City United Steel Plant, Tieshan City No. 2 Food Company expressed their dissatisfaction... Long Yuehong slandered the team leader and Shang Jianyao's conversation.
Of the Buddhist holy lands explored by the "Old Task Force," only Holm Reproductive Medical Center had not been completely destroyed.
Shang Jianyao got out of the car and beckoned to Genava.
After some inspection and experimentation, the two determined that the aluminum-white electric retractable gate was broken and could not be opened even if power was restored.
So, a carbon-based human and a silicon-based human relied on brute force to forcibly open the gate of Taicheng No. 1 High School.
The jeep then drove in, entering a cement-paved square surrounded by teaching buildings and office buildings.
Jiang Baimian stuck her head out of the car window and said to Shang Jianyao and Genava:
"Get in the car first. We'll drive around the square, close to the flower beds outside those buildings. Wei, hold the small jade Buddha and use the Awakened's perception to do a preliminary screening."
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao responded loudly.
Just then, the light suddenly dimmed.
Genava raised his head, looked at the sky, and found that a cloud had floated over at some point, blocking the sun.
Did the ice plains also have frequent rainstorms in the summer? Genava, lacking relevant data and climate models, recalled his experience on the ice plains during this time and found that this was not the case.
He withdrew his gaze and looked forward again.
Suddenly, the red light flashing in Genava's eyes froze.
The "Old Task Force's" jeep, which had been parked not far away, was gone!
Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen were all gone!
In an instant, Genava looked to the side.
Shang Jianyao, who had been with him, was also gone!
At the same time, due to the dense clouds and darkening sky, one after another fluorescent lamp lit up in those teaching buildings and office buildings.
The light, either pure white or yellowish, seemed like bright stars in the dim environment.
And in many windows emitting light, figures appeared.
They were all wearing blue and white uniforms, an old-fashioned school uniform, either listening intently to the teacher's lecture, or in groups of three or five, going down the stairs into the cement square where Genava was currently located.
Warning! Warning! A series of reminders flashed in Genava's main module.
He had already analyzed that the scene before him was from the Old World, and it was many years away from the node of destruction, but for some reason, it appeared in the Ashlands today.
"An illusion created by a distorted environment?" Genava made a preliminary judgment after calculation, comparison, and analysis.
Then, he imitated Shang Jianyao, opened his mouth, and shouted loudly:
"Wei! Daba! Xiaobai! Xiaohong!"
No one responded to him.
According to the plan predetermined by the "Old Task Force" for the most critical situations, Genava stopped calling and placed the other two things in a special queue, ready to be called upon at any time.
The two things were:
First, use the command to remotely start the nuclear warhead in the jeep's trunk;
Second, dial the string of gibberish that Avia gave him to seek help from unknown entities.
Immediately afterward, Genava strode forward, activated all detection equipment, and walked towards a male student wearing a blue and white school uniform.
He slowly extended his right hand, tentatively patting the other person's shoulder.
Slap!
It was as if he had really patted a human body.
But the male student did not react at all, laughing and talking with the students around him, walking towards a certain place in the square.
Genava retracted his iron palm, his eyes flashing red.
He then walked to the nearest teaching building, going up the stairs against the students going down.
When he reached the fifth floor, Genava saw a middle-aged man wearing a casual suit, suspected to be a teacher, quietly walking to the back of a classroom, observing the inside through the corresponding windows.
Suddenly, the man touched his hair and shouted into the classroom:
"You two!
"Not paying attention during morning self-study, what are you whispering about? Stand up and come out into the corridor!"
Genava stopped and watched the scene with some puzzlement.
-- His storage device contained a large amount of Old World entertainment data托管 by Shang Jianyao.
Soon, the two students who were caught talking walked out of the classroom and into the corridor.
The red light in Genava's eyes flashed rapidly.
The two students were Bai Chen and Long Yuehong!
They had both "changed" into blue and white school uniforms and looked much younger!
"You two, are you dating?" the middle-aged man, suspected to be a teacher, asked with a straight face.
"No," Bai Chen said very frankly, calm and composed.
"No," Long Yuehong's eyes dodged, and his face turned red.
Genava no longer hesitated, striding over.
He called out in a suppressed voice:
"Xiaobai! Xiaohong!"
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen ignored him, listening to the middle-aged man's reprimand with different expressions, one in fear and trepidation, the other stubborn and indifferent.
Genava carefully extended a hand and patted Long Yuehong:
"Xiaohong."
Long Yuehong did not react.
After analysis, Genava suddenly pushed Long Yuehong.
Long Yuehong staggered and fell into the teacher's arms.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing!" the teacher exclaimed in fright.
Long Yuehong said慌又急:
"Earthquake! Earthquake!"
"Earthquake my ass!" The teacher had an expression of "you can even make up such a lie."
Bai Chen twitched his eyebrows:
"There really is an earthquake."
The teacher began to doubt his own senses.
So did Genava.
He felt like he had become a ghost wandering in the Old World, able to touch others but unable to be seen.
And the Long Yuehong and Bai Chen in front of him might just be two other people who looked alike.
He took two steps back, choosing not to activate more stimulating methods for the time being, preparing to do more observation.
After thinking for a moment, Genava returned to the square along the original route.
At this time, many students had gathered in units of classes.
Genava planned to wait and see, looking for flaws in the current illusion.
Before long, almost all the students had gone down to the square and stood in orderly rows.
This included the two, whether or not they were Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.
Two or three minutes later, a man in his fifties wearing a suit, out of shape, and with a reflective head walked onto the half-high cement platform at the front of the group to the sound of light music.
He held the microphone and said with a full voice:
"Please, the students who are being commended this week, come up."
Seven or eight students stepped out of the line and went to the half-high cement platform in front.
Genava locked onto a figure at once.
That figure belonged to Jiang Baimian.
Jiang Baimian was wearing a ponytail, also wearing a blue and white school uniform, and her height was quite eye-catching.
Just then, the light music suddenly changed:
"I'm going to bomb the school, never be late, the little bird says early early early, why are you carrying a bomb..."
