Chapter 357 Pioneer Wave!
"Brother Yan, the number of new points is no longer twenty-seven."
Qin Xiao's voice came through the earphones, and his usual carefree and irresponsible demeanor was completely gone.
"How many?"
Forty-one.
Zhang Yan sat in the back seat of the car, and red dots on the tablet lit up one after another.
It's not moving.
It refers to something.
Forty-one energy fluctuation points, as if simultaneously calibrated by the same hand, all pressed their vectors toward Jinghai.
"interval?"
"Eight batches every eight minutes, and the intensity is still rising." Qin Xiao spoke quickly. "I contacted Qin Changfeng, and the Pan Shi Contingency Plan has been activated. The core urban area of Jinghai is being evacuated under the guise of an exercise. My sister-in-law's side has also been mobilized; all hospitals, shopping malls, and parking systems under Qingcheng International have been connected to temporary nodes."
Zhang Yan looked at the map.
He is too far from Jinghai now.
More than two thousand kilometers.
The peak of the precursor wave six hours later may not necessarily be the arrival of the main body, but it will definitely be the coordinate anchor point that turns Jinghai into ruins.
He has to go back.
"Stargazing?"
"I've already notified her." Qin Xiao paused for a moment. "She said the Sky Anchor has finished warming up, and the coordinates are waiting for you to determine."
"Tell her not to start it without permission."
"clear."
Zhang Yan raised his eyes and looked ahead.
Ang Tun drove himself, pressing the accelerator hard, and the two sides of the mountain road rushed past each other.
He couldn't understand any of the content, but his expression remained calm.
"How much longer until we reach the airport?"
"Thirty-five minutes," Ongtun said. "I've had the runway cleared. Your men have made contact with the border, and the airspace will be open."
Zhang Yan nodded.
There were no formalities this time.
Ruins wait for no one.
He looked down and dialed Nie Qingcheng's number.
The call was connected very quickly.
"I see."
Nie Qingcheng spoke first.
Her voice was steady, with the sounds of cabinet doors opening and closing and footsteps in the background.
Zhang Yan heard it.
She's packing things up.
Where are you now?
"The villa," Nie Qingcheng said. "The mechanical puppets are in place, and I'm preparing to go to the coordinates you mentioned."
"I'll go when I get back."
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
"Zhang Yan".
"wait for me."
Nie Qingcheng did not agree immediately.
Zhang Yan looked at the red dot on the screen, his tone unchanged: "There's no point in you going there early."
"I need to personally lock the Azure Dragon field to stabilize it, and I also need to bind and trigger the Sky Anchor."
"If you go first, it will only increase the variables."
A very soft sound came from Nie Qingcheng's side.
It looked like she put something back on the table.
"it is good."
Zhang Yan's tension eased a little.
"Hurry up," she said again.
"I'm on my way."
"I know." Nie Qingcheng paused. "That's why I'll only say it once: don't take risks just to rush through the journey."
Zhang Yan looked out the car window.
"Um."
"You always agree so quickly."
"This time it's for real."
I'll believe it for now.
The call wasn't hung up immediately.
No one spoke.
In those few seconds, Zhang Yan could hear her breathing and the sound of the car running over gravel.
In the end, it was Nie Qingcheng who spoke first.
"return."
"it is good."
The call was disconnected.
Zhang Yan switched the tablet to the mecha status interface.
Xuanwu: The coordinates of the East Sea Relics are bound normally, and the cooldown for the Hyperdimensional Teleportation has ended.
White Tiger: Full power standby, 97% of battle damage repaired.
Tyrannosaurus Rex: Full power standby.
Xingtian: Full power standby.
Zhuque: The solar resonant power furnace is stable.
Azure Dragon: Space Folding Module is locked.
Black Scorpion: Severely injured, not recommended for main battle.
The Heart of Heaven's Craftsmanship: 99.8%.
Four Spirits Cooperative Sealing Mode: Unlocked.
Remote trigger permission for Sky Anchor: To be bound.
Zhang Yan looked at each item.
He doesn't need to comfort himself.
We have prepared to the fullest extent possible.
All that's left is to get back.
When the car crashed into the makeshift airport, only a few lights were on along the runway.
Ang Tun stopped the car and turned to look at him.
"Leave this to me."
Zhang Yan pushed open the door and got out of the car.
"The seven people who were rescued are under strict quarantine. The tiger is too."
"I know."
"No one is allowed to enter within three kilometers of the ruins."
Ang Tun nodded.
Zhang Yan took two steps, then stopped.
"If something happens in the Jinghai area, don't bring anyone with you."
Ang Tun frowned.
Zhang Yan looked at him: "It's pointless for your men to come. Just hold your ground here and don't let northern Myanmar become another pollution hotspot."
Ang Tun was silent for two seconds.
"OK."
Zhang Yan didn't say anything more and boarded the plane directly.
The hatch closed.
The plane veered onto the runway.
The system prompted again the instant it took off.
The intensity of the precursor energy wave is increased.
The expected window for the materialization of the Ruins is 12 to 18 hours.
Zhang Yan stared at the line of text.
Twelve hours.
It was faster than he had expected.
He opened the communication interface and sent a message to Qin Changfeng.
"Please begin evacuation."
There was no explanation.
There was no build-up.
One minute later, Qin Changfeng replied.
"receive."
Zhang Yan put his phone aside and began the final verification.
The coordinates of the three celestial observation anchors are set.
The first one is located on the southeast side of the sealing array, responsible for delaying the outer ring of the field.
The second one, on the northwest side, was responsible for cutting off the retreat route from the ruins and misleading the passage.
The third one, slightly south of the center, serves as a final safety net.
The triggering permission is not granted to anyone.
All are bound to the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship.
The Heavenly Pavilion can provide assistance, but it cannot control the situation.
This is the bottom line.
Qin Xiao sent another monitoring image.
Forty-one dots became fifty-six.
Eight minutes.
Another batch.
Zhang Yan looked at the screen and mentally recalculated all the times.
The fastest flight to Jinghai takes two and a half hours.
After landing, we headed to the villa, a 20-minute drive.
The mechs are in position, ten minutes.
The celestial anchor has been locked for fifteen minutes.
If the Ruins itself materializes after twelve hours, it will still have some reserves.
If the window continues to be moved forward, the margin will be compressed.
He's not afraid of being hit.
He was afraid there were too many variables.
Especially Nie Qingcheng.
She will keep her promises, but she will also break them if necessary.
Zhang Yan knew better than anyone else.
After the aircraft entered cruise mode, Qin Xiao connected to multiple data links.
The evacuation progress in the core urban area of Jinghai is accelerating.
Forty-three percent.
Fifty-one percent.
Sixty-two percent.
Temporary nodes at Qingcheng International are more efficient.
Hospital transfers, shopping mall clearance, and underground parking lots converted into diversion areas.
Nie Qingcheng did not appear in the communications.
But her hands were everywhere.
Zhang Yan paused for a moment as he looked at the areas that were rapidly turning green.
That's why he had to go back.
It's not about saving an abstract world.
It was because someone in that city was waiting for him.
Two hours later, the system alarmed again.
The intensity of the leading wave is increased.
Expected window for materialization: 10 to 14 hours.
Zhang Yan looked up and glanced out the porthole.
It wasn't dark yet.
But Jinghai has already been locked down by the ruins.
He sent a message to Nie Qingcheng.
See you after you land.
Nie Qingcheng replied quickly.
"I'm outside the tarmac."
Zhang Yan's brows twitched slightly as he looked at the sentence.
"Didn't I tell you not to move around?"
"I didn't go to the battlefield coordinates."
"The helipad isn't a villa."
"so?"
Zhang Yan looked at the screen but didn't reply.
A few seconds later, Nie Qingcheng sent another message.
"I want to see you the first time I see you."
Zhang Yan held his phone in his palm.
This statement is difficult to refute.
There's no need to refute it.
When the plane landed, the airspace over Beijing had already been cleared by military channels.
Outside the tarmac, a car is parked in the designated spot.
As soon as Zhang Yan stepped out of the cabin, he saw Nie Qingcheng leaning against the car.
She wasn't wearing high heels; her coat was draped over her arm, and her hair was casually tied up.
Not far away, the mechanical puppets stood quietly.
Zhang Yan walked down the gangway.
Nie Qingcheng remained silent.
She raised her right hand first.
The ring was on her index finger, which she held while gripping her car keys, as if she were just casually wearing it for fun.
Zhang Yan paused for a moment.
Nie Qingcheng looked at him.
Then, in front of him, she took the ring off her right index finger and slowly slipped it onto her left ring finger.
The size is just right.
She looked up.
"I officially started wearing it today."
Zhang Yan walked up to her.
Nie Qingcheng's voice was soft, but every word was steady.
"We'll talk about other things after we win."
