Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 750 - 553 The True Camp
The glittering pyrotechnics became the sole light in the dark and turbulent high-dimensional space at this moment.
Following Kuang Xin, Gong Yan also became another victim leading the way for the expeditionary army.
Dai Lian clenched his fists, his reason telling him to restrain himself, yet a continuous impulse inside made him want to complete this grand moment with Kuang Xin.
But before he could act, Gu Lan had already held his arm.
The tall and imposing woman looked at the increasingly languid Gong Yan, smiled helplessly, and said, "I really don't know what to do with you..."
Turning to look at Dai Lian, her eyes calm and wise, "You don't need to go, after all, we always need someone to bring us back."
Though they had been daring this time, it wasn't as though they couldn't survive.
Resurrected after three days, they would still be heroes, and as long as one person remained in the organization, they could be embraced by the adults once again.
It was only after comparing with other players that they deeply understood the swift growth they had achieved under the adults' command.
Although their reborn identities might not quickly regain the adults' trust, leaving someone in the organization offered some backdoor conveniences.
Fortunately, Gong Yan managed to hold on for long enough, and without even needing Gu Lan to step in, the hurriedly returning expeditionary army had already made it back to the anchor point of Gong Yan's Spiritual Body.
For such individuals who did not have consciousness ascendancy, the connection between the Spiritual Body and the physical body was quite tight, only needing to tear through that layer of "boundary" between the two worlds for them to return to the material world in an instant.
"Buzzzz~"
With each buzz of worlds traversing, one consciousness after another crossed back, returning to their respective bodies within an instant if they were within a certain distance.
"Huff~" Bai E, awakening first, immediately looked towards Franca, "Quickly bring their bodies here!"
Not all the bodies of those who ventured into the high-dimensional space were there; consciousness could only lock onto their bodies within a certain range, the rest of the unclaimed consciousnesses still hovering nearby.
But the hovering time was limited, and it was imperative to transport those soldiers' bodies in time.
Franca, also amongst the first to wake up, nodded, "I know."
In fact, on the way back, they had already considered this point, and everyone had clearly told Franca the location of their bodies before their consciousness ascended, ensuring that these bodies could be found immediately.
This trivial matter utilized the power of the entire city; there was no need for Bai E to worry about it any longer.
Bai E then turned to look behind, where two figures leaned against each other.
They sat quietly on the grass, quietly watching the distance.
Changes in high-dimensional space did not correspond to real-time, and by now, the sun had already set in the outside world.
Pink twilight draped over the two of them, like a fiery red bridal garment.
The bodies of Gong Yan and Kuang Xin had already lost all signs of life.
"They... died," Yue Ying stepped forth from afar and uttered softly into Bai E's ear.
"Yes."
Were the lives of players important?
Important, yet not important.
Because it wasn't true death, they could end up dying in all sorts of strange places.
But because every identity involved genuine effort, they were occasionally extremely stingy with their lives in the game.
Now... they had chosen self-sacrifice to save their fellow soldiers and themselves.
Bai E's gaze glanced towards Gu Lan and Dai Lian by his side.
These players mingled with one another every day and presumably shared a good camaraderie.
If these players had another chance at rebirth, they should be able to rejoin the organization through them once again.
Bai E's footsteps trod across the grass, coming up beside Gu Lan and Dai Lian, whose faces showed little emotion, "I will remember them. To honor the memory of the two brave warriors, the organization will not recruit any new core members within one month!"
Players might not take life and death too seriously, and it was far more effective to discuss practical promises and benefits with them than any empty promises.
As one Exector after another was brought to the location, the silhouettes gathering behind Franca grew more numerous.
Nobody spoke; it seemed as if they were all waiting for that inevitable moment to come.
Finally... when Franca confirmed that the consciousness of every surviving soldier had returned to their bodies, Bai E slowly rose to his feet.
Standing on high ground, he raised his arm and called out, "We have waged our first revenge against those demons! We succeeded!"
"waaaaagh!"
"Wahoo!"
"We won! We won!"
Despite the many sacrifices along the way, a genuine victory was always worth celebrating.
This was humanity's first truly significant large-scale exploration of high-dimensional space, and the importance of the exploration in filling the gaps in data about high-dimensional space was beyond imagination.
Humanity would comprehensively renew its understanding of high-dimensional space, a true enterprise to benefit future generations.
The city's higher-ups, who were in the know about everything, could hardly miss such a large-scale mobilization directed at Black Street.
Watching the cheering crowd from the shadows, a voice sighed softly, "They really won..."
"I'm very curious about what they encountered in the high-dimensional space..."
"I heard General Bai E almost single-handedly cut through the entire Eternal Garden..."
"The strength of this general, truly unimaginable!"
"The information they've brought back this time might completely overturn all our prior understanding."
