With Lin Yi's help, the space wormhole expanded completely enough to accommodate two or three people traversing at the same time.

This time, Shi Yi gave Lin Yi a look, then took the lead and dived into the wormhole.

Lin Yi had no objection to this.

Because among the six people present, apart from Nangong Ling who was always slacking off and not intending to take action, he was indeed the strongest.

Afterward, the other people entered one after another.

A group of six people crossed through the wormhole.

They arrived at the city wall of Heshuo County, just a few dozen kilometers away from the incident location.

Snow flew all around, and the temperature was extremely low.

As soon as everyone stepped out of the wormhole.

They all shivered from the cold.

Lin Yi looked back at the already snow-buried Heshuo County, vaguely able to see traces of someone having lived in this former base city.

But now, this was already a no man's land within the no man's land in the entire Southern Border.

"Go!"

"To the target point!"

Lin Yi called out, the Gale Wings appeared behind him, and he flew up into the sky.

The other five also displayed their divine powers and used their flying skills.

Before long, they saw overturned military tents and black liquid flowing everywhere.

This should be the border military camp where the Descent Energy eruption had previously occurred.

The six descended from the sky.

"Be careful of the black water on the ground."

"These are all remnants of Abyssal Energy."

"It might be highly toxic, possibly strong acid, or even infect you with the Abyss Realm virus just by touching it!"

"Remind your team members."

After all, Lin Yi came unexpectedly this time, and he didn't have time to do much homework.

He didn't even know how terrifying this so-called Descent Energy eruption really was.

These reminders were from Nangong Ling.

Of course, Lin Yi didn't see her open her mouth.

These tips directly resonated in his mind.

Lin Yi glanced at Nangong Ling, the latter still had an innocent look, as if she understood nothing.

Blinking her big eyes at him.

Lin Yi shook his head, conveying Nangong Ling's reminders to the others.

Everyone carefully landed in areas untouched by the black water.

Then they saw Xia's Professional Army soldiers lying in the ice and snow, still clutching their weapons tightly.

Their bodies had already frozen solid.

It was unknown whether their deaths were painless in an instant or if they suffered for days.

As they checked along the way, Lin Yi found bodies strewn everywhere.

Most of these bodies were buried under the snow and ice, some submerged by the black liquid from the Descent eruption.

In addition.

The shattered camp still faintly showed bonfires, tent frames, and living utensils like stone pots and bowls.

No living people remained.

Seeing this scene.

Everyone felt a heaviness in their hearts.

The third-year deputy captain leading the Qilin Academy team this time, who was also a girl.

She sighed lightly, closing the still-open eyes of a corpse beneath her hand.

"These Great Wall soldiers are unsung heroes."

"Guarding such a bitterly cold border, not only is the environment harsh."

"But they also face potential beast horde attacks at any moment, and hostile countries beyond the border leer menacingly, harassing and provoking."

"They overcame all these difficulties, yet never expected to die from the Descent Energy eruption."

"Alas..."

"May your souls rest in peace."

Her light sigh brought a sense of melancholy to the others present.

Lin Yi had heard about the Xia Professional Alliance Army before, consisting of three branches.

The army responsible for defending each base city and forming a city defense force, codenamed "Iron Wall."

The army tasked with reclaiming lost land, developing new potential base city lands, clearing out regional beasts, and executing reclamation missions, codenamed "Sharp Sword."

Lastly, the army responsible for guarding Xia's over two-million-kilometer border, resisting foreign enemies, and maintaining territorial integrity, codenamed "Great Wall."

After the Catastrophe Era, Blue Star's land expanded a hundredfold.

How many people were needed to guard a border of over two million kilometers?

They truly used their flesh and blood to build a "Great Wall" that allowed us to live comfortably inland!

The chubby Feng Sanyou's eyes reddened.

In a moment of emotion, he exclaimed, "They died so far from home, with no one to gather their corpses."

"I... I want to help lay them to rest!"

With his spatial ability, you have to admit, collecting the bodies might really be efficient.

But Lin Yi shook his head at these words and spoke in an indisputable tone, "Remember our mission."

"We're here to rescue potential survivors and uncover the truth here!"

"Gathering the bodies will have people specifically assigned!"

"Now, Feng Sanyou, Song Shuwen, you two pair up and search in the northwest direction, look after each other; if you discover anything or face any crisis, contact us immediately!"

Lin Yi tapped on his Spirit Crystal wristwatch.

At this moment, all of them had this thing on their hands.

Even in such harsh conditions, it still maintained clear signals.

"Nangong Ling, Xie Jisheng, you are to search the northeast direction."

"Shi Yi, you and I will search the southwest side."

Lin Yi checked the time, then continued, "Limit the search within a 500-kilometer range, abandon the search beyond this range."

"Everyone, regroup here in three hours!"

"Report any survivors or suspicious individuals to me."

Nangong Ling pouted.

"I thought I was here to slack."

"Why do I have a task too?"

"But junior, when you assign tasks with such seriousness, you actually look a bit cool!"

However, on the surface, she couldn't show it.

She could only complain in Lin Yi's mind.

Lin Yi almost couldn't hold back.

Pretending to act like a captain was exhausting for him too.

But there was no choice; during the task, that's what had to be done.

"What about the southeast direction?"

"I can actually search alone."

Shi Yi frowned.

Lin Yi did not speak, and soon a feminine figure appeared before everyone.

Lin You swiftly headed toward the southeast direction.

This was Lin Yi's well-considered plan.

Besides himself, he was not comfortable with anyone else acting alone.

The place was already strange enough.

They were here to search and rescue missing personnel, and the last wave of rescuers had already gone missing. Lin Yi didn't want to be the next one trapped.

With the task assignments completed, Lin Yi thoughtfully arranged at least one "experienced with novice" setup for each team.

Feng Sanyou's team included that third-year female senior.

The other Qilin Academy member was paired with Nangong Ling.

Finally, with himself and Shi Yi, there was no issue.

The four teams dispersed. Lin Yi saw Shi Yi tap the Sword Box, and an ice-blue flying sword flew out. He stepped on it, flying high, spiraling over the southeast area.

He heard that practitioners of this profession had a skill called "Divine Sense."

Perhaps his search and rescue efficiency could be much higher than his own.

Hmm...

Leave the survivor rescue to him, and focus on investigating the truth myself.

Lin Yi came to a corpse already frozen stiff, extending his hand to touch.

The skill [Touch of Reincarnation], during previous experiments, not only earned rewards.

It also allowed experiencing scenes from the deceased's lifetime.

This is really useful for uncovering the truth!
