Chapter 209: Chapter 208
*Boom!*
Smoke billowed from a building outside the school, with explosions going off intermittently.
It looked like some sort of chemical explosion.
However!
This was a school district, and chemical plants weren't allowed anywhere nearby.
"Attention, all students! Please proceed to Building 7 for an emergency evacuation immediately!!"
Suddenly, the principal's voice echoed through the school's PA system.
Building 7 was located near the school's back gate.
The students were momentarily stunned before quickly rushing out of their classrooms.
"Please remain calm and orderly as you proceed to Building 7. Teachers, please help maintain order," the principal urged.
But the more the principal tried to calm them, the more anxious the students became.
Countless students swarmed toward Building 7, and even the teachers couldn't control them.
No one was stupid—something serious was clearly going on.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be an emergency evacuation…
Chen Ye, following the crowd, felt puzzled.
From what he knew, this world was somewhat more chaotic than the Earth of his previous life, primarily due to the presence of Reincarnators. Some people, after gaining power, would become arrogant and reckless, often turning to crime…
But overall, things were relatively stable.
Especially in major countries—armed with nuclear weapons, Reincarnators couldn't afford to cause too much trouble.
Incidents like today's were rare.
A short while later.
Chen Ye and the other students successfully evacuated through the back gate of the school.
The surrounding area was quickly sealed off by the police.
Soon after, a large number of officers began patrolling the streets, using loudspeakers to urge citizens to stay indoors.
The entire city fell into a tense atmosphere.
…
Chen Ye returned home.
"Xiao Ye? I was about to go look for you! I heard an explosion just now—was it from near your school?" Father Chen asked.
"Yes! I don't know what happened, but the school evacuated everyone, and there are a lot of police outside," Chen Ye replied.
"It must be another criminal act involving those with special abilities. There was a similar incident a few years ago…"
Father Chen looked worried. "Xiao Ye, stay home for today. Don't go out."
"Alright, you should get some rest too."
Back in his room, Chen Ye turned on his computer, intending to search for news about the explosion.
However, there wasn't much information available online!
Most people were still talking about how impressive Shura was for casually scoring an SS ranking in a dungeon.
A few mentions of an explosion would pop up here and there, but as soon as they appeared, they were quickly deleted...
For such a big event, the absence of any news online was definitely unusual.
Even when Chen Ye checked the local forums, very few posts mentioned it.
Any post that did quickly got removed…
Clearly, the authorities were suppressing the spread of information.
Chen Ye frowned, feeling that something wasn't right.
If this were just an ordinary incident involving people with abilities, there would be no need for such a strict information blackout…
But Chen Ye wasn't the type to meddle. As long as it didn't affect him, he didn't care.
Tonight he can asked Murong Chuxue for more details.
As a high-ranking government official, she would likely have insider knowledge.
For now.
Chen Ye opened the Reincarnation Forum and began looking up information on the eighth-floor dungeons.
Just like the seventh floor, the eighth floor also had two dungeons…
*Whirring!*
Just as Chen Ye was about to check out the eighth-floor dungeon strategies, a loud rumbling sound came from outside his window.
Chen Ye immediately went to the window to see what was happening.
In the sky, several camouflaged military helicopters were flying toward the city.
On the ground, soldiers were now visible on the streets…
Seeing this, Chen Ye was taken aback.
This world was similar to Earth in his previous life—generally, the military didn't enter urban areas unless it was an emergency.
For the military to be deployed now meant something serious was happening!!
Chen Ye frowned deeply, feeling that he needed to get more information as soon as possible.
After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and dialed Wen Xingyi's (Ake) number.
Among the people Chen Ye knew in real life, only Wen Xingyi belonged to the upper class and might know more about the situation.
The call connected quickly.
"Hello? Chen Ye?"
"It's me! Wen Xingyi, I wanted to ask you something. There's a lot going on in the city right now—have you heard anything?"
On the other end, Wen Xingyi's voice was unusually serious. "Chen Ye, are you at home? I suggest you leave the city as soon as possible! They're about to lock everything down here…"
Chen Ye was stunned. "What's going on?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but I heard from my dad that it's some kind of terrorist group that got hold of a dangerous virus from the Reincarnation Space. They've released it in the city, and a lot of people have already died!"
Wen Xingyi added, "The military will take full control of the city soon. I'll be leaving with my dad shortly—Chen Ye, do you want to come with us? I can ask my dad if we can take your family… with us…"
Her voice began to break up…
"Hello?"
Chen Ye glanced at his phone, but the signal was gone.
When he returned to his computer, he found that the internet was also down, and he could no longer access any online services.
Seeing this, Chen Ye furrowed his brow.
Wen Xingyi mention a virus leak?
What kind of virus could be so dangerous that it prompted the military to act this quickly?
A hint of worry appeared on Chen Ye's face.
He wasn't worried about himself—his immunity to all poisons made him immune to any virus.
But his father was just an ordinary person!
With this in mind, Chen Ye went to his father's room.
"Xiao Ye? Did you see? It looks like there are troops outside…"
The commotion was so loud that Father Chen couldn't sleep, and his expression was full of concern.
This was far more serious than the last incident involving people with abilities.
Chen Ye said, "Dad, pack up a few things—we're heading to the countryside!"
In the countryside, the Chen family still had an old mud house. It had been abandoned since Chen Ye's grandparents passed away, but it would serve as a good temporary refuge.
Father Chen was stunned. "Is it really that serious?"
"Yes!" Chen Ye replied. "I just spoke to a classmate. She said there's a dangerous virus leak. Her family is very well-connected, and I trust their information. To be safe, we should leave."
Hearing this, Father Chen's expression grew serious as well.
"Alright, let's pack up and leave for the countryside right away."
