After Jahn appeared, a layer of red haze rose near the city of Akadota.
The visibility within a ten-mile radius of the city was less than 100 meters.
Considering that it was late at night, the distance that could be seen with the naked eye might be even shorter.
If one looked from the sky, the entire city of Akadota was shrouded in this red haze, and no one knew what was going on inside.
However, it was also the appearance of this abnormal phenomenon that made everyone who was paying attention to this matter realize that Jahn's ascension ceremony had begun.
The time was 11: 30 at night.
The area 114 station was brightly lit.
The staff and patients in the station were packing their luggage.
The BSF teams were all gathered near the main building, taking turns to be on guard. At this time, the other facilities in the station were no longer important.
Zhang Jue was explaining the final details to the three captains.
"After 12 o 'clock, Kenneth and Strong, your two teams will be responsible for escorting the civilian staff and patients to the south and leave this godforsaken place. Smith, your team will depart ten minutes later. You'll be in charge of bringing up the rear."
Zhang Jue put his hands on the table with a serious expression. The reason why he let the two teams leave at different times was that he was worried that they would be wiped out.
Although he had lived two lives, this was the first time Zhang Jue had encountered an ascension. This arrangement could prevent accidents to the greatest extent.
No matter which side was in trouble, there would be a buffer time when they supported each other, and they would not be overwhelmed all at once.
Smith and the other two nodded and then looked at Zhang Jue in unison.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jue asked curiously. "Why are you looking at me? Is there rice on my face?"
Smith was the closest to him, so he asked with concern, "Mr. Zhang, what about you? Aren't you going to retreat with us?"
Zhang Jue nodded matter-of-factly. "Retreat, of course I'm going to retreat. It's not like I'm tired of living, but I'll retreat a little later. It won't be too late for me to leave after confirming that you've reached a safe place."
Zhang Jue had promised to ensure everyone's safety, so he had to be the last one to evacuate. However, after Arne ascended to godhood, something unpredictable might happen. Zhang Jue had promised to ensure everyone's safety, so he had to be the last to leave.
With Mr. Zhang's strength, there was no need to worry about his safety.
Smith didn't suspect anything. The three of them obeyed the order and went to mobilize their team members for the last time.
After they left, Zhang Jue was the only one left in the large conference room.
He placed his hands behind his head and slowly closed his eyes.
A few minutes later, the door of the conference room opened, and the sound of high heels could be heard.
Hearing the familiar footsteps, Zhang Jue didn't need to look to know who it was.
Yang Xue walked up to him and sat down beside him.
"I heard from Captain Smith that you don't plan to leave with us?" she asked softly.
"That's right." Zhang Jue opened his eyes. "If we leave together, we'll be too big of a target. It'll be easy to attract the attention of the Sect of Desire. The right move is to break up and break out. When you're all safe, I can leave whenever I want."
Yang Xue looked at him and didn't say anything.
Zhang Jue chuckled.
The two of them stayed silent for a while.
In the end, Yang Xue sighed. "After confirming that we're safe, will you really leave immediately?"
It had to be said that after interacting with Zhang Jue for such a long time, Yang Xue had a very thorough understanding of Zhang Jue. She could even distinguish Zhang Jue's every expression.
Words could be deceiving, but expressions and actions weren't so easy — especially those habits that were ingrained in his bones, such as twitching the corners of his mouth, shrugging his shoulders, or raising his eyebrows. Even Zhang Jue couldn't change them.
Most importantly, Yang Xue knew Zhang Jue's usual trick. He was telling the truth, and he only hid part of the information. But because of this, what you thought and what he said would be two different things.
