YM778.TV Chapter 46 - 46: Time to Take Off!
The off-road vehicle sped along the road.
Wang Ye, who was sitting in the back row, had mixed feelings as he watched the Eastern Base City gradually become smaller.
This was his first joint operation and his first time going into the real wilderness.
Currently, apart from the ten bases, there were still many cities in Huaxia that had complete and operating defense systems.
Planes and trains had long since stopped operating, and the only means of travel were vehicles equipped with firearms and strong armor.
Even so, it was still very difficult to move about because the chances of running into nightmare-level monsters were very high.
Those monsters were not afraid of firearms.
Therefore, when going to the real wilderness, there had to be at least an intermediate Evolver in the car.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!” Song Shuyi put her palms together and apologized profusely in the car. “It’s all my sister’s fault for being too worried. She insisted on me bringing this and that, which made me delayed when leaving the house.”
“It’s alright.” Yu Shuiqin comforted her gently.
“The search and rescue mission is urgent and doesn’t need so many daily necessities. Your sister is also in the rescue team, so doesn’t she know?” Tong Wu, who was driving, said coldly.
“I said the same thing, Captain Tong! But my sister said that she’s in the ace rescue team, and still, she always brings everything with her every time she carries out a mission. It’s better to be prepared, she said,” Song Shuyi mumbled.
Ace rescue team? Advanced Evolver?
Wang Ye and the other two were stunned.
They knew Song Shuyi’s sister was also a rescuer, but they didn’t expect her to be so great.
It was no wonder that Song Shuyi could obtain the only remaining spot in the rescue team with her result of coming 25th in the rookie trial…
“… Your sister is right.” Tong Wu only managed to squeeze this sentence out after a long time.
Song Shuyi:?
Their destination was Wuyi County, which was 185 kilometers away from the Eastern Base City.
Wang Ye fell asleep after getting into the car. He had been researching the information all day yesterday and then cultivated the whole night.
Yu Shuiqin connected her consciousness to Moon Web to cultivate.
Huang Zirui, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, communicated with Captain Tong and humbly learned about the wilderness. At the same time, he monitored the area and controlled the firearms. His task was heavy.
Song Shuyi was very excited when she first got into the car, but no one could bother meeting her excitement. She could only learn from Yu Shuiqin and cultivate on Moon Web.
However, after cultivating for a short while, her consciousness became tired. Then, she fell asleep with her mouth open.

After a five-and-a-half-hour drive, they arrived at their destination safely.
Captain Tong was very experienced, so they encountered no danger along the way.
Wang Ye and the others got off the car. The vehicles from the South Camp had already arrived.
Just like their team, there was also a captain leading four rookies.
Tong Wu walked over and greeted Captain Chen from the South Camp.
Wang Ye looked around.
The place was desolate and barren, with deserted dilapidated city buildings.
Sandstorms raged in the sky while insects and ants swarmed the place, and the faint roars of monsters could be heard.
“Wang Ye, do you think anyone will still be alive?” Yu Shuiqin walked over, her voice tainted with some sadness.
“Don’t underestimate the human desire for survival. Although the city has been destroyed,” Wang Ye said, “As long as there is water and food, and hope, humans can survive. Do your best to save every refugee who wants to live. This is the responsibility of rescuers.”
“Yeah.” Yu Shuiqin looked at Wang Ye with a glint in her beautiful eyes.
“That sounds familiar…” Song Shuyi muttered.
“Of course! So you fell asleep in class…” Wang Ye retorted in his heart.
Rumble! Rumble!
An off-road vehicle rolled over. The speed of the car was astonishing, and it ended with an exaggerated drift.
Crack! The car door opened.
A handsome young man wearing sunglasses got off the car. He raised his eyebrows at Tong Wu and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
The backseat door opened, and the four rookies from the East Camp vomited as soon as they got out of the car.
“Wang Ye! The East Camp will come in first for this joint operation!” A young man wearing the same combat uniform as Huang Zirui clenched his fists and shouted at Wang Ye.
Then, he turned around and vomited again.
Fortunately, Song Shuyi wasn’t the one driving…
Wang Ye and Huang Zirui looked at each other tacitly.
“Who is he?” Wang Ye asked.
“Wei Shengtian, first place for both the rookie trial and East Camp’s graduation assessment. Didn’t I tell you about him before?” Huang Zirui was surprised.
Was that so… He couldn’t remember.
“Is there any reward for getting first place?” Wang Ye was curious.
“No, it’s just a traditional competition between the 4 Camps of the Evolution Camp. Just look at the two captains.” Huang Zirui glanced over.
“Just reputation, huh?”
Wang Ye’s gaze fell on Captain Tong. He and Captain Ma, the sunglasses-wearing captain of East Camp, were like fire and water.
The healthy competition in the Evolution Camp was everywhere.
As the headquarters of the Evolution Camp, the East Camp was the leader of the four Camps. In terms of resources and talents, they were the best.
For example, Wei Shengtian was the only level 3 genetic warrior among batch 101 of the 4 camps.
Huang Zirui was slightly inferior.
After a while, the vehicles from the North Camp arrived safely as well.
The captains of the four battalions gathered and divided their respective areas.
“This is the city center of Wuyi County and the meeting point for our joint operation. You can return to the car and rest at night,” Captain Tong said to Wang Ye and the others. “The area we’re responsible for in this search and rescue mission is west of Wuyi County, where Qinyin Stream runs through…”
Wang Ye took out the map he had prepared and quickly circled it.
It included one street, two towns, and two villages.
“This search and rescue mission will be led by the four of you. I’ll be in charge of Hongxi Street and coordinating support. You can decide how to divide the rest of the areas among yourselves,” Captain Tong said.
Huang Zirui pondered for a moment and looked at Yu Shuiqin.
Just as he was about to speak, Wang Ye already used his finger to draw a straight line on the map.
“We will be in charge of Wangzhai Town and Dayu Village above Qinyin Stream, and you guys will be in charge of Qinyin Town and Baimu Village below Qinyin Stream. Is that okay, Zitui?”
Huang Zirui was stunned.
What did he mean by “we” and “you guys”?
“Have you guys already divided into groups?” Captain Tong looked at the four of them.
“Yes, Xiao Qin and I are a group. Zirui and Shuyi are a group,” Wang Ye said.
“Huh? Why didn’t 1 know?” Song Shuyi was naturally stunned and asked the question that Huang Zirui wanted to ask the most.
“Xiao Qin and I discussed it yesterday,” Wang Ye said. “It’s more efficient to form a team of two, right?”
Yu Shuiqin nodded slightly.
“Since we’re in a group, won’t you and Zirui automatically form a group? Or do you not like being in the same group as Zirui?” Wang Ye asked Song Shuyi.”
“Right! No, no, I really like being with Brother Rui,” Song Shuyi understood.
“But 1 don’t like it! Did anyone ask for my opinion?” Huang Zirui was protesting in his heart, but he had no choice but to put on a polite smile and “happily” accept the results of the grouping.
“Alright, it’s decided. If there’s any problem, report it straight to me. If you encounter a nightmare-level monster, ask for help immediately. Remember not to force yourself.”
“Yes, Captain!”
*

Mission, start!
Wang Ye and Yu Shuiqin rushed to Wangzhai Town.
“Ability users have stronger consciousness. Xiao Qin, you’re in charge of scouting, searching, and guiding. Leave the fiend-level monsters to me.”
Wang Ye naturally had his reasons for choosing to team up with Yu Shuiqin.
After all, not only was Yu Shuiqin strong, but she would also not compete with him in killing monsters, which were potential points!
If he was in the same group as Huang Zirui, his potential points would probably be halved.
Most importantly, Yu Shuiqin had a gentle personality and knew how to cooperate. She was also the best combination in terms of completing missions.
If it were Song Shuyi…
Hmm, let Huang Zirui have the headache.
“Be careful. There are two medium-grade fiend-level monsters thirty degrees north by east.” Yu Shuiqin’s gentle voice came from behind.
Swoosh!
Wang Ye quickly turned around.
He also sensed the presence of monsters, but he was slightly slower than Yu Shuiqin.
As expected, level 2 ability users were more sensitive.
Chi! Chi!
The series-II Red Sun War Saber drew two arcs in the air.
Wang Ye killed two medium-grade fiend-level monsters with a slash each.
Blood dripped from the blade, and light flashed in front of him.
[Killed level 2 dog monster.]
[Potential Points: 4.5^6.5.]
[Killed level 2 dog monster.]
[Potential Points: 6.5^8.5.]
Points!
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.
The 100% potential points obtained from killing monsters did not decrease because of Yu Shuiqin’s existence.
As an abandoned city, the number of monsters would surely be more than the rookie trial ground.
Time to take off!
“You’re so powerful.” Yu Shuiqin beautiful eyes looked over.
It was her first time seeing Wang Ye in actual combat.
He was completely different from when the four of them were training together. It was as if he was a different person. He was decisive and efficient.
Just from the power of the attack, he might be even stronger than Brother Rui!
In the first hour after entering Wangzhai Town, Wang Ye had already obtained
12 potential points.
In the second hour, he gained 11 potential points.
In the third hour, 11 potential points.
His harvest was more than twice as much as usual.
In the meantime, they searched every ruin and every building to avoid missing any refugees. Although the chances were slim, even if it was just one person, it was still a life.
This was the duty of the rescue team.
Ten days ago, the elite rescue team had already cleaned the area once, killing a large number of nightmare-level monsters and rescuing dozens of refugees.
However, the elite rescue team was busy with their tasks and their numbers were few, so they couldn’t be very meticulous.
Therefore, the rescue team was responsible for the second round of more detailed search and rescue.
“We are the rescue team! Is there anyone else?” Wang Ye shouted in the dilapidated neighborhood, but he didn’t get any response.
Instead, it attracted a high-grade ferocious monster that turned into a beam of light and flew over from the roof.
Whoosh!
Yu Shuiqin’s ability arrow shot out, heavily injuring the high-grade fiend-level monster that was attacking Wang Ye.
Wang Ye’s blade flashed and killed it.
[Level 3 bird monster killed.]
[Potential points: 36.9—42.9.]
The rewards for killing above his level were still higher.
Moreover, Yu Shuiqin’s cooperation was smooth.
Potential points were practically being sent to his mouth, and he didn’t even need to use the Strengthening Spell.
Yu Shuiqin’s consciousness was immersed in the surroundings as she sensed any existence of life in the district.
Wang Ye opened the light panel and his consciousness fell to the “+” sign.
[Do you wish to spend 40 potential points to increase the level of the Star Evolution Technique?]
[Yes!]
In the universe, Wang Ye transformed into a star, absorbing endless life force to strengthen itself.
As he cultivated the Star Evolution Technique, he gained a deep understanding and gradually comprehended the truth over endless years.
Whoosh!
He was enlightened and his life transformed.
The Star Evolution Technique had reached the mastery stage!
His cells transformed, and his body became more refined and perfect. His physical fitness had increased exponentially.
The chaos in his psyche gradually dispersed and opened up, revealing a faint invisible boundary.
Although it was still covered in a thick layer of chaos, its outline could now be seen.
This was the shackles of life level.
[Level 1 ability user — Level 2 ability user]
Light flashed before his eyes, and Wang Ye looked at his character panel.
Level 2 genetic warrior, 77%. Level 2 ability user, 1%.
All improved!
Whoosh!
Wang Ye’s eyes were sharp, and his six senses were exceptionally clear.
Not far away, Yu Shuiqin opened her beautiful eyes and looked at him.
Wang Ye grinned and was about to speak when he suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.
“There’s a sound! Did you hear that?”
