308 kilometers.
Wang Ye ate his breakfast and looked at the distance displayed on his phone.
Even though the cosmic monster’s movements were slow, the pressure it brought was getting stronger.
The atmosphere in the camp had been tense for the past two days, like a taut rope. Both the instructors and the students were worried.
This was a cosmic monster!
“Have you finished your arrangements?” Shu Meng’ou hugged Wang Ye’s waist.
“Yes, I will send them to the reserve base city later.” Wang Ye looked at the beautiful woman beside him. “What about you? Do you want to go with me?”
Shu Meng’ou shook her head gently and leaned on Wang Ye’s shoulder. “I am a doctor.”
Her calm voice was firm and powerful.
Wang Ye nodded. He respected Shu Meng ‘ou’s decision.
She was not his accessory. She was a professional doctor who saved lives.
She couldn’t just evacuate to the reserve base city while watching disaster break out and many were injured.
He could only support her with his actions.
Wang Ye picked Shu Meng’ou up.
An hour later.
Defense area, the encampment of elite rescue team No.7.
Xia Wuguang, Han Ruobin, Hong Jia, and Su Yihan looked at Wang Ye with surprise and curiosity.
“You’ve advanced?” Xia Wuguang’s tall spiky hair was very bright under the sunlight.
“Yes.” Tong Wu nodded and looked deeply at Wang Ye.
A monster like Captain Xia!
He was only a few days slower than Captain Xia in advancing to the intermediate Evolver. He was definitely one of the best in the Evolution Camp.
A month ago, he had watched Wang Ye fail to evolve and was on the verge of mutating. He had almost made a move against the latter.
In the end, Wang Ye relied on his tenacious willpower to survive.
At that time, he thought that this kid would have a good future, but he did not expect that in just a short month, the other party had advanced to an intermediate Evolver.
“Your life force is indeed different.” Su Yihan had a pair of big, bright eyes. She was petite, but she had a grandeur comparable to Doctor Shu. “Tong Wu, your luck is too good.”
“My group of brats have been with me for more than two months…” Han Ruobin spoke politely, his face gloomy.
“Alright, Tong Wu, you can return to the team now.” Xia Wuguang smiled and looked at Wang Ye. “I’ll leave the West 101 Rescue Team to you in the future. Hopefully, you’ll be promoted to an elite rescue team as soon as possible.”
“Yes.” Wang Ye nodded.
Was there no sense of ceremony?
Weren’t they going to exchange some talismans or pass down some treasures?
If he had known it would be so simple, he would have come yesterday…
“Tong Wu should have told you about the captain’s responsibilities, right?” Xia Wuguang said.
“Yes.” Wang Ye said.
And the explanation had been quite detailed…
Captain Tong was definitely a man who could sew clothes with embroidery needles.
“Before your team is upgraded to an elite rescue team, West 101 will still be under the elite rescue team No. 7. Tong Wu will be in charge of handing over your missions.” Xia Wuguang smiled brightly.
“Okay, Captain Xia.” Wang Ye nodded.
“Do you know about the cosmic monster No.9?” Xia Wuguang said.
“It’s approaching the base city,” Wang Ye said.
“At night, the bases will announce a piece of important news. The Eastern Base City will also make an official announcement and arrange for the evacuation. The rescue teams below the elite rescue team in the base city will be temporarily deployed to guard the city.”
“Since you’re here, 1’11 tell you in advance. There are two missions. The first one is a protection mission. You will have to protect the vehicles in the base city. With this mission, evacuating from the Eastern Base City to the reserve base city might take a longer time, but it’s safer.”
“The other is a preventive mission, where you’ll be responsible for clearing the monsters within 50 kilometers of the two base cities. It is a preventative measure and is quite dangerous. Choose one.”
” The preventative mission.” Wang Ye didn’t hesitate.
“Very well, I’m sure I didn’t misjudge you.” Xia Wuguang patted Wang Ye’s shoulder. “Do well. 1 have high hopes for you.”
“Yes, Captain Xia.”

The reserve base city was 363 kilometers away from the Eastern Base City.
It was located on a plain, and there were no large rivers or lakes around it. It was far away from the ocean and was relatively safe.
The city’s defense system reached B3 rank and could withstand the attacks of nightmare-level monsters.
Now, the city was also guarded by the guardian department.
As long as there weren’t a large number of hell-level monsters or super monsters attacking the city, the safety of the city was guaranteed.
It was the city with the highest comprehensive defense within a thousand kilometers of the Eastern Base City.
The money needed for his family to stay at a hotel in the city center was nothing to the current Wang Ye.
Moreover, once the news was officially announced at night, a large number of people in the Eastern Base City would be evacuated. The hotels in the city center might not even be able to be booked even if one had money.
After that, Wang Ye set off to survey the environment.
Since he had taken over the West 101 Rescue Team, he had to be responsible for the team.
It was very important to choose a suitable area for the preventative mission.
He flipped through the notes of Captain Tong. The handwriting was still clear after photocopying. Captain Tong must have been a straight-A student in high school…
Wang Ye quickly circled the three most suitable areas and drove there.
Han City was an abandoned city located 45 kilometers west of the reserve base city.
Wang Ye shuttled through a street filled with rocks. He raised his sword and slashed down, killing the fiend-level monsters that pounced on him from all directions.
His powerful consciousness as an ability user made him feel as if he was walking on flat ground.
“Monsters prefer the wild while towns are mostly made of reinforced concrete. This place is similar to Wuyi County, but because it hasn’t been cleared for many years, the density of monsters in the city is high, which makes it more dangerous.”
“Next.”
Tian’e Mountain.
The ground was mushy as red rain had just fallen from the sky.
A nightmare-level wild boar monster that was several thousand kilograms and covered in a thick layer of leather armor charged at Wang Ye while roaring.
Right angle turn!
Its huge body was like a small car, and its impact was terrifying.
Its sharp fangs were comparable to a B3-grade weapon and could easily kill a beginner Evolver.
A medium-grade nightmare-level monster!
120% strengthening!
Wang Ye chose to fight back head-on. He wanted to test the limits of his current close-combat strength.
“Bang!” Wang Ye’s series-11 Red Sun Saber collided with the wild boar’s tusk, causing his wrist to go numb.
After his body was strengthened, it was comparable to a level 5 genetic warrior. However, it was still a little weaker than a medium-grade nightmare-level monster.
But in terms of the power and attack power of the saber technique, he was far superior.
After shattering the nightmare-level boar’s defense, Wang Ye quickly took the initiative and killed it after a fierce battle.
[Killed level 5 boar monster.]
[Potential Points: 18.5^48.5.]
Killing a monster of a higher level gave him 150% of the potential points.
Wang Ye cut off the two sharp fangs of the medium-grade nightmare-level wild boar, which was worth 40,000 yuan.
Then, he rubbed his slightly stuffy chest and sighed.
With his current strength, he would have no problems in a head-on fight with a medium-grade nightmare-level monster.
However, this place was too dangerous for the team.
Even if he came to hunt alone, he could not go to the top of the mountain, lest he encountered high-grade nightmare-level monsters or was surrounded by multiple nightmare-level monsters.
Let’s go to Changzhuang Ridge in Lizhou City.”
Wang Ye made his final decision after inspecting a few destinations.
On one hand, the danger level of Changzhuang Ridge was moderate. On the other hand, he was more familiar with the place and the risk was controllable.
At night, in the Evolver’s apartment.
After a video call with Yu Shuiqin, Wang Ye entered the Huaxia Evolver Center.
251 kilometers. The Giant Turtle had slowly moved forward for another 57 kilometers. It was getting closer and closer to the Eastern Base City.
On the Eastern Base City’s forum, the posts refreshed at an extreme speed.
The anxious Evolvers had nowhere to vent.
“Why is there no movement at all? What is the headquarters thinking? At least evacuate first!”
“I’m panicking. Who’s going to save me? I’m going to die but I still have to f*cking go to work tomorrow!”
“Are they not treating the Giant Turtle as a cosmic monster? It doesn’t even need to do anything! It could just use its body to crush us, and the Eastern Base City would be gone! Look at the current state of Island Country…”
Wang Ye looked at the time.
He already knew some insider information from Captain Xia.
At night, a piece of important news would be released. The base city would soon release an announcement.
From tomorrow onwards, the rescue team will begin to carry out the protection operation.
What kind of big news was it?
Could Huaxia be so brave as to use the defense of the Eastern Base City to fight the old turtle head-on?
Just as Wang Ye was wondering, a new post appeared on the forum.
It’s a live broadcast, the headquarters are broadcasting it! Everyone, watch it!”
There was a link on the forum that was pinned on the home page
Wang Ye clicked on the link.
A spokesperson from the Huaxia Evolver Headquarters was explaining the current situation.
The radar image showed the sea.
A Giant Turtle covered in green moss could be seen, moving forward slowly like an island, unbridled.
The speaker’s voice was loud and clear. His emotions were rising and he became increasingly emotional.
“Through the discussions of the Huaxia Evolver Headquarters over the past few days, as well as the individual wishes of the Evolvers, the final decision – the strongest Evolver in Huaxia who is also the strongest Evolver in the world, Yao, will fight cosmic monster N0..9 alone! He will kill it in Huaxia!”
