The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 254 Jiang Chuan's fate? Let him stay at the base.

The dark, surging tide of beasts was rushing toward the direction of the third field team. The magnificent scene under the moonlight was awe-inspiring.

Even though the three groups had witnessed several large-scale beast rampages in the past few months, the sight still sent chills down their spines. They had never seen a beast tide of such scale.

The fact that the command center had lost contact made them feel even more uneasy.

"Boss!"

Just as everyone was staring in astonishment at the “Signal Lost” message displayed on the workstation screen in Zhu Chengzhu’s hand, a sudden exclamation rang out.

The person who spoke was a young, artsy man with a ponytail named Chen Yufei.

This kid usually adheres to the principle of not showing his emotions, and generally speaking, he would never make such a startled exclamation.

This unusual behavior naturally elicited an immediate reaction from everyone. They immediately looked in Chen Yufei's direction and saw his wide eyes and an expression that could only be described as panicked and terrified.

Li Yu immediately followed his gaze and looked over, but upon seeing it, he froze on the spot as if petrified.

At the same time, several gasps of cold air came from the camp.

Zhu Chengzhu exclaimed in astonishment, "What...is that!?"

What they saw before them was a gigantic figure, as large as a mountain! It was striding towards their camp with the beast tide!

They hadn't expected this situation to occur, so they hadn't looked up, assuming it was just a distant view of mountains. But now that the image was truly imprinted in their minds, the shocking scene gave them goosebumps! They even stopped breathing, their minds going completely blank!
The scene was incredibly eerie. Every step the giant took made the earth shake, yet they couldn't hear a sound!
Is it too far away? Impossible... With a height of several hundred meters, taking a single step would naturally make a terrifying noise, so why is that thing so quiet? In just a few minutes, the beast tide has visibly approached a great distance. Given its frenzied speed and the strength of these beasts, if they were to reach the city, the threat would be even more exaggerated than a tsunami!
And then there's the existence of this giant...

Li Yu's voice broke the shock in everyone's hearts: "Old Zhu, check the signal again and confirm the situation."

Zhu Chengzhu immediately snapped out of his daze and started fiddling with the workstation at hand again.

Li Yu's gaze immediately swept to the other side, looking at another man with short hair and a buzz cut who looked to be in his forties.

Awakened by Li Yu's gaze, the man spoke in a trembling voice:
"This beast tide is definitely not ordinary..."

"It's probably some ancient remnant that has awakened again."

"I don't recall seeing any record of this thing in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, nor is it mentioned in any warnings or notices from headquarters or the Ministry of War... Damn it, what strange things have we encountered?"

"The scale of this beast tide is far beyond what is usually seen, but where in the mountains can there be so many strange beasts?"

Where did this beast tide come from, and why did it happen so suddenly? A series of questions arose hastily in their minds.

However, the situation was urgent, and they didn't have time to think too much.

Fatty Zhu Chengzhu repeated the workstation operation several times, confirming repeatedly whether there was a problem with the workstation, before finally asking Li Yu again:
"Boss, we still can't get in touch... What do we do?"

Li Yu gritted his teeth and said with an extremely solemn expression, "Withdraw."

Li Yu knew very well that against such an opponent, even if all seven of them were to be sacrificed here, it would be a drop in the ocean. Moreover, they couldn't contact headquarters, and everything was extremely strange... Evacuation was the top priority now.

He didn't explain the reason, and the members of Team Three didn't need to know. The instant the order was given, they immediately sprang into action, sprinting towards where the vehicle was parked. These Team Three warriors, who had fought fiercely against the strange beasts in the Kunlun Mountains, were all battle-hardened veterans. Although the situation was complex, even somewhat perplexing, once the order was given, their only option was to obey.

As they retreated towards the vehicle parking area, Li Yu's voice rang out again:
"There's only one thing we need to do next."

"Return to the operations command center immediately and quickly establish contact with headquarters and the Army Department."

"I must emphasize that no matter what happens on the way, you must do everything in your power to get back to base."

"The sole objective of our next action is to inform headquarters and the military headquarters in detail about the situation we are currently facing and what we are seeing."

"Do you understand everything?"

The three teams immediately gave a loud and unified reply: "Understood!"

……

the other side.

The top floor of the headquarters building of Yanjing Institution.

Zhou Shan, who was sitting cross-legged in the flat office, suddenly opened his eyes, a rare look of surprise flashing in them.

Jingle bell bell bell!

The moment he opened his eyes, a holographic image popped up on his desk, displaying the logo for a communication request.

Zhou Shan landed and pressed the call button on the holographic screen out of thin air: "I am Zhou Shan."

A very anxious voice came from the other end: "This is Li Bingbu, Mr. Zhou, I am Liang Shang."

"The situation is urgent, so I'll keep it brief."

He speaks extremely fast:
"Kunlun Command Center lost contact, East China Sea Command Center lost contact, Himalayas Command Center lost contact..."

"The Ministry of War is mobilizing manpower to reinforce various locations. Optical satellites have detected sudden beast tides in various places. The Nanhai Command Center has just sent a message that sonar has detected a large number of signals approaching the shore... Including Changbai Mountain, Xing'an Mountains, Taishan... Unidentified high-energy signals have been detected in various places, and the signal strength is far greater than before!"

“Mr. Zhou, even if you need to stay in Yanjing, you may have to leave now. We also need to mobilize more manpower to various garrison posts; we urgently need a large number of personnel! You know, for some alien beasts, firearms are not entirely effective…”

"We have compiled all the intelligence we have gathered into a document and sent it to you. If you need us again in any situation, I will keep this communication account open until you contact the specialist."

Zhou Shan didn't hesitate: "I understand."

"The organization will cooperate with the Ministry of War's actions. Thank you for your hard work."

When communication was interrupted, Zhou Shan did not immediately issue an order to redeploy personnel. Instead, he immediately made another communication.

The holographic screen displayed the name "Yu Haidao," and the communication was quickly connected as soon as it was sent.

As soon as the call connected, Zhou Shan immediately asked, "What's going on?"

A deep, resonant voice came from the other end of the communication line. The man named Yu Haidao said, "You've already received the message? I was just about to contact you."

"The snowmen have become incredibly aggressive... I fought off a few, but many more are trying to come out. This just happened; I don't know what happened. I've been here for over a year and have never seen anything like this before. These snowmen, though ferocious, are actually not very interested in the outside world..."

"I don't have the ability to search for spirits. If you can't, call Li Yu over."

As Zhou Shan listened, he looked at the report that had just been sent and said, "Li Yu has gone missing."

"The situation in Kunlun is even more serious than yours..."

Yu Haidao was taken aback: "What?"

"You mean the problems happened simultaneously, not just on the Himalaya side?" "Li Yu has gone missing? What about their satellite phones? How can they go missing these days?"

Zhou Shan hummed in agreement, but didn't explain further, only saying:
"Resolve the snowman issue as soon as possible and keep communication open."

"You may be transferred back at any time."

"Of our four crew members, two are outside, I'll be staying in Yanjing. If Snowman isn't leaving Snow Village anytime soon, then you should be prepared to leave."

Yu Haidao readily agreed: "Understood."

Yu Haidao is another member of the Four Great Aces of China. His awakened memory is that of Guan Yu, the Martial Saint, making him unparalleled in martial arts. He and Zhou Shan, whose past life memories are those of Zhuge Liang, are known as the two masters of both literature and martial arts, and the two have a very good relationship in private. Of course, Yu Haidao, like Song Chen, Lu Bin, and Zhou Shan, was one of the founders of the organization.

As for the Yeti they mentioned in their conversation… they were, of course, the main characters from the classic Himalayan legend of Bigfoot, a group of warlike creatures covered in white fur and over four meters tall. In the early stages of the memory awakening event, they emerged from the mountains and wreaked havoc on two or three villages before being subdued by Yu Haidao.

But of course, the main reason why Jia Shang has been stationed here for so many years is not just for these Yetis.

Yu Haidao's primary target was the Candle Dragon, which was suppressed beneath this majestic peak and bound by a massive seal. In truth, the Candle Dragon had not awakened, but... as a being from mythology, Yu Haidao had no choice but to remain here to guard it, fearing any potential problems.

This Zhulong is none other than Zhujiuyin. It is an ancient ferocious beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Its specific origin is naturally untraceable, but its existence has actually been controlled by the authorities for a long time. The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Great Wilderness West Classic, records that Zhulong is the god of Zhongshan, but why it is imprisoned under Mount Everest is, of course, a mystery that remains unsolved for the time being.

At that moment, Yu Haidao stood up in the cold wind and looked down into the abyss.

Even with the armor's formidable strength, looking down into the abyss at this moment caused a sense of dizziness.

Yu Haidao's expression was very serious, especially after learning about the emergencies in various places. He couldn't help but start to make connections...

"Could it be that this thing is about to wake up?"

……

Zhou Shan, of course, had no idea what Yu Haidao was thinking at that moment.

After cutting off contact with Yu Haidao, he immediately contacted Song Chen and Wang Xuejun.

Song Chen and Wang Xuejun learned from Mr. Zhou that the command centers in various places were currently out of contact, and that there were beast tides and strange beasts in various places... This made the expressions of the two of them very ugly. Because it was an internal line of headquarters, holographic images of Song Chen and Wang Xuejun had been displayed on Zhou Shan's desk.

Wang Xuejun frowned and asked:

"What caused it?"

Zhou Shan shook his head: "We don't know yet. Further investigation is needed."

"But the most urgent thing now is to mobilize manpower from all over the country."

"Within twenty-four hours."

"Trainees rated B or above in various regions will be assigned to command centers in mountainous areas to cooperate with the Ministry of War in resisting the beast tide."

"We must not allow the beast tide to invade the city; we cannot afford such a price."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuejun immediately nodded: "Understood."

These children had just finished their training. The original plan was for them to temporarily handle the increasingly frequent cases involving Awakened individuals within various cities, a matter that had already overwhelmed the monitoring teams of local agencies. However, plans are subject to change. Although these trainees were still inexperienced, the situation was urgent, and they had to be deployed to the front lines ahead of schedule.

So Wang Xuejun didn't say much.

As the acting head of the training program team, Wang Xuejun naturally had to take full responsibility for this matter. Moreover, more than half a month had passed since the end of the fourth phase of training, and the ranking of the first batch of trainees had been completed. This time, seven were ranked as Grade B-A, fifty-three as Grade B-B-B-B-B, and one was even ranked as Grade A-B ...

But thinking of this, Wang Xuejun's expression changed again: "The others are fine, but Jiang Chuan... are you going?"

When he asked this question, both Zhou Shan and Song Chen were taken aback.

Yeah... Jiang Chuan, do you want to go?

He has too many ties to his cause, and his future and potential are also crucial to headquarters.

He cannot be in danger.

After a moment, Zhou Shan made a decision: "He doesn't need to go."

"It's hard to say whether there's a divination alliance behind this. Let him continue his training."

"Let's discuss this again once we've figured out the whole story."

He paused slightly, then changed the subject:
"Old Song, you should reassign the field personnel who have been assigned to various places to carry out missions, and minimize the number of personnel as much as possible."

"You should know what I mean."

Song Chen hummed in agreement: "I understand."

After saying that, Song Chen cut off the communication and began to make arrangements.

It seems that Mr. Zhou and Wang Xuejun haven't finished their conversation.

Zhou Shan asked, "How are the preparations going in Yanjiao?"

When will mass production begin?

Wang Xuejun said, "The third round of testing has ended, but the intensity was still somewhat lower than previously predicted."

"But I can't be sure about the exact timeline for mass production."

"We will do it as soon as possible."

Zhou Shan also knew that this matter couldn't be rushed, and that haste makes waste.

He nodded and continued, "As I said before, it's hard to say whether this matter is related to the Diviner Alliance."

"Jiang Chuan should not get involved in this matter for the time being."
