"With the safehouse, we don’t need to blindly search for those potential mutants."
"Wen, you’ve done an excellent job. Sometimes, I must marvel at the wonders of destiny. Right after your journey through Deceit Tower, you immediately decided to climb another tower. And... I won’t pry into your secrets, but you must have taken tremendous risks to earn such generous rewards."
"Remarkable, truly remarkable. This Grand Devourment might be the most well-prepared in history."
Albert acted swiftly, directly opening the office door.
At this moment, the entire school was in celebration.
"Your name is destined to become a legend in the Bunker, but I hope you are not just a legend of the Bunker."
Albert and Wen Xishu walked out of the office, and Wen Xishu could feel... that the entire Bunker was discussing him.
He also heard Albert’s words and understood Albert’s expectations.
"Don’t worry, old principal, we will definitely reach beyond the Bunker."
At this time, Jabbar appeared at the door:
"Ah, Wen, that’s wonderful. I apologize for being busy just now. You are truly amazing. I don’t think anyone would refuse to live two more years."
Wen Xishu began to prepare to head to the second level with the old principal, but before that, they first went to Slaughter Tower Academy.
Along the way, Wen Xishu had become a celebrity, drawing attention from time to time.
At the Three Towers Academy, whether it was Slaughter Tower Academy or Desire Tower Academy, Wen Xishu was the most prominent figure.
From time to time, students hoped to take photos with Wen Xishu, and some inquired about what exactly he did.
The old principal would help Wen Xishu dismiss these people, with a simple reason: Wen Xishu’s work was not yet finished.
Wen Xishu also truly felt... that his status had changed once again.
Perhaps, Wen Chaohua was like this back then, climbing step by step and bringing the Wen Family to the standards of a great family.
Wen Xishu was not particularly good at coping with this situation.
"Will my fame bring me trouble?"
"It will. And the trouble might not be small, but I will help you."
"Trouble... related to Wen Chaohua?"
"Yes, still because of Wen Chaohua, but in a different way. We all know one thing: when you excel too much in a certain field, people will surely think that you have mastered some special power."
Wen Xishu understood.
"They will still think that Wen Chaohua left me something, and they yearn to uncover it. Even with my current status?"
Albert smiled:
"Yes, they yearn for it, but rest assured, as your power grows stronger, those who covet you will increase, but those who dare to act will be fewer."
Wen Xishu got it.
Albert said:
"With me around, nothing will happen to you. Now let’s go to your dormitory—I think you’ll want your partners to enter the safehouse, whether purely for their safety or to let them excel."
The old principal was very considerate.
Wen Xishu said:
"Don’t you have anyone you want to protect?"
"Old Jin, maybe? But he doesn’t need my protection, hahaha..."
"What about the teachers at the academy?" Wen Xishu asked.
"The Three Towers Academy enjoyed this privilege, and they must make a corresponding contribution. The teachers and students can’t just gain social status without doing their part, right? At this time, the Bunker Security Bureau, the teachers and students of Three Towers Academy, should be outside the safe zone."
Speaking of this, Albert stopped:
"Remember this: within the safehouse, you can let whoever you want in, and no one can interfere."
The two of them arrived at the dormitory. Inside, Xiaojin, Nissen, and Yue Yun were discussing what Wen Xishu had done this time.
Seeing Wen Xishu and the old principal, all three were startled.
Xiaojin: "Wow... Grandfather Albert!"
Yue Yun: "Wen... uh, Wen Xishu, ah, hello, principal."
Nissen stood at attention.
The three’s reactions made the old principal chuckle. The old principal said:
"Our time is very tight. Although you just returned and should enjoy the fruits of your victory... unfortunately, the Grand Devourment has already begun."
"Perhaps the first vortex will appear tonight. We now need to gather all the elites in the assault team."
"Student Golden Flash, student Yue Yun, student Nissen, are you willing to face the upcoming Grand Devourment with me and student Wen Xishu?"
The old principal’s tone was very serious, his expression earnest, as if inviting respectable warriors.
This set of manners overwhelmed Yue Yun, Xiaojin, and Nissen. They agreed without hesitation.
Initially, Yue Yun and his friends thought... now they were no longer in the same world as Wen Xishu, right?
Wen Xishu himself also thought that maybe the gap between him and his teammates had grown too large.
But the old principal did not think so.
The old principal knew very well that Wen Xishu would need his team.
...
...
Bunker, second level. Outside the safehouse.
Outside the safehouse, the "cadres" of the Xishu Divine Teaching—Wen Xiangge, Xiaowu, Wu Xiangjiao, led a group of the elite who dared to climb the tower from the Xishu Divine Teaching, standing outside the safehouse.
The Xishu Divine Teaching had the largest number, nearly a thousand people.
At the same time, new departments from the second and sixth bureaus of the Bunker Security Bureau—the Deceit Tower Assault Team members also stood outside the safehouse. The Deceit Tower Assault Team had a total of 300 people.
Next to the Deceit Tower Assault Team were the elites of the Gambling Stone Society, about fifty people, led by the second-in-command, Atreus.
Not long ago, these people were scattered around, searching for possible mutants.
There were many people, but even so, searching through the sixteen levels of the Bunker for all the "mutants" in each residential level was an extremely daunting task.
But just a while ago, everyone received the message. Thus, all forces gathered as quickly as possible.
Outside the level-seven facility safehouse were the main combat forces of the Bunker people responding to the Grand Devourment.
When the old principal, along with the five elders and the directors of the Security Bureau, all appeared...
A battle spirit rose within everyone.
The Grand Devourment was approaching, but this time, it seemed that everyone, due to the arrival of a miracle, became less fearful!
