<h4>Chapter 145: Vol2 Ch43: Attack</h4>


    Trantor: La0o9


    Chang Xia was carrying a long rectangr box on his back as he walked, followed by the two Authority Holders Xiao Ba Fu and Zhang Zi Jie.


    As they slowly approached Yue Bu, the dusty memories slowly started to revive.


    ...


    At the time, he was just a bit older than 20, a new graduate from the police academy. Due to his outstanding performance, after going through a test, he was admitted into the D.E.R division that was still half-hidden at the time, bing responsible for protecting the ruins.


    Their squad captain back then was the culprit of the Yue Bu earthquake, Yu Guang Ming.


    He was a man of smiles, a considerate person who looked after everyone. At the time, every team member lovingly called him ‘big brother Yu’.


    “A Xia, do you like this long de?” when he asked that, Yu Guang Ming was cleaning a long de in his hand. From the unique shine of the metal, it could be seen that this was made from Disasforce material.


    At the time, technology wasn’t quite as advanced as it is today, so Disasforce material was considerably scarcer.


    “Here, I’ll give it to you” Yu Guang Ming gave the de to Chang Xia, then lightly told him: “I’m sorry, Chang Xia”


    “Huh?” at the time, Chang Xia felt confused. Why would he give him such a good de out of nowhere, then apologize to him?


    ...


    “We’re here” Chang Xia pushed his sses up, ncing sharply at this ce that had been turned into a memorial park, then went straight in.


    “Hey, hey! You three, you still haven’t bought a ticket” at the gate, a man stopped the three of them from going in,pletely unafraid of Chang Xia’s D.E.R division uniform.


    “Ridiculous!” Chang Xia expression was cold as he opened his eyes: “Men, move in”


    He then ignored the ticket usher and continued going inside. The usher shouted out loud: “So what if you’re from the D.E.R division? You think the D.E.R division can go in without a ticket, if you want to go in, you’re going to have to buy...”


    Just as he turned around to get back into his booth, he waspletely stunned. Over a hundred fully armed D.E.R division members hadpletely surrounded the memorial park, arresting every employee of the memorial park without question.


    ...


    When the 7th domain’s D.E.R division section chief heard of this, he spat out all the tea he had just drank. Section chief Li had already received directives from his superiors regarding Chang Xia’s cross-domain official business trip this time, and he understood this colleague of his to a certain degree.


    Always doing stable and careful work, regardless of what happened, his modus operandi had always been to maintain social stability.


    Because of this, he wasn’t too worried about this cross-domain official business trip when he first heard about it. In fact, he was actually wondering why Chang Xia still hadn’t arrived at the D.E.R division to go through with the formalities when he received news of him having the entire memorial park surrounded.


    “Is Chang Xia the kind to work for three years and spend it all in a day?” section chief Li didn’t have time to care about this and hurriedly ordered: “Quickly prepare the cars, we’re going to the memorial park. Is he seriously trying to make me unable to retire in peace?”


    “Where’s Luo Ping?” as section chief Li got in his car, he hurriedly asked.


    “Captain Luo has already gone ahead” his secretary and driver answered.


    “I hope nothing serious is going toe out of this...” section chief Li muttered in hope.


    However, his driver didn’t think the same. He secretly squinted his eyes while preparing in the shadows.


    That traitor might have discovered something if he’s attacking the memorial park. We’ve been hiding very well these past few years, but once things are exposed and the upper brass flushes us out, none of us would be able to get away with it.


    Knowing those guys, even if they can’t find any concrete evidence, as long as they can confirm [Survivors]’s existence, they wouldn’t hesitate to remove us all.


    They’ve never been afraid of sacrificing people, even if they were innocent people. As long as they can achieve their goal, they don’t care.


    ...


    Chang Xia swiftly and knowingly headed to his destination. That ce all those years ago had already been destroyed in the earthquake that day, which was also the reason that the D.E.R division hadn’t continued to protect it.


    I’d never guess that someone else would be attempting that same experiment again.


    The things inside the ruins have all been moved to the 1st domain, so in theory, it should be impossible to continue the work of 16 years ago.


    Which means, the only exnation is that there were survivors back then who managed to take the chance to leave a few things behind.


    As Chang Xia walked inside, his aura became sharper and sharper, causing Xiao Ba Fu and Zhang Zi Jie who were following him to silently feel afraid. They had thought that section chief Chang was just an officemander, but they were clearly wrong.


    Not too longter, Chang Xia noticed two people wearing security uniforms. They were banging their heads against the tree on the path, bleeding enough to dye their faces red, But the two of them seemed ignorant of the pain as they continued to do it again over and over, constantly mumbling words of apology.


    “Wang Yuan...” Negary’s appearance shed by Chang Xia’s mind as he continued going forward. The personnel who came after him swiftly restrained the two crazed men. After going through examinations, they would be sent to a hospital, however, from how they were acting right now, they’d most likely be transferred to a mental patient ward.


    Chang Xia kept his hand on his rectangr box as he continued heading towards theke. It was a foreign yet familiar sight, even when he had prepared himself, he couldn’t help but felt a bit short of breathing as he arrived.


    When he joined the D.E.R division, it was this ce that he worked in. Thiske didn’t exist at the time, but there was a set of ruins underneath this ce. Their D.E.R division squad was responsible for protecting those ruins.


    All because of the stone tablet inside.


    That man, at the time, stood right at that ce, at the center of the terrifying quake that caused everything around to copse and break. He no longer had the same gentle smile that he was known for, standing there with his arm spread wide as if to celebrate something, or to wait for something.


    At that time, his Disasforce surpassed even that of a Disaster King, so much so that anything that tried to approach him would only be erased.


    Even though Chang Xia was excellent,pared to Yu Guang Ming back then, his strength was basically nonexistent.


    “He treated you like a brother, and trusted you like one else. He gave you his weapon, that’s why you were able to take the chance to approach him and make that strike” a voice softly muttered: “Killing such a great person, don’t you feel ashamed?”


    “This had always been my greatest regret” Chang Xia’s gaze turned grim, regardless of what happened, regardless of who felt grudgeful against that person, he alone could not.


    “Then why don’t you go ahead and die, traitor!” that voice abruptly became sharp and high-pitched, seemingly containing a sort of power that constantly attacked Chang Xia’s mind and channeled his negative emotions.


    “I really feel tired, having to carry all of that on my shoulders, I really just want to forget it all” being attacked by the negative emotions, Chang Xia subconsciously opened the box on his back, wielded the de inside, and put it up against his own neck.
