Chapter 592: The Young Man’s Path Has Widened
It turned out that the base wasn’t destroyed, but it was close. The headquarters of the World Defenders reacted swiftly and immediately sent personnel to handle the situation after the initial assessment that the branch could not manage it. They managed to contain the deteriorating situation.
However, the entire base was devastated. The various anomalous entities within the base could only be temporarily contained and then transferred to other branch bases for continued containment. What else could they do?
Killing the anomalous entities? That was impossible. Once killed, they would cause even worse consequences. The World Defenders Organization had learned this lesson the hard way, even with Beta-level anomalous entities.
Qin Muye was also transferred to another base. He was currently on a plane, and the security personnel guarding him were all on high alert, worried that he might suddenly do something irrational, especially since they were in the air.
Wang Xia was not with them; he was left behind. As one of the base’s responsible officials, he couldn’t just leave. He had to properly arrange for the base’s subsequent repairs, aftermath management, and other tasks.
“I have an idea,” Qin Muye began, and all the security personnel immediately became agitated.
The reports indeed stated that this Beta-level anomalous entity, the Lord, posed no danger, but they had encountered too many "non-dangerous" anomalous entities. The lack of danger was relative, not absolute.
“Alright, I don’t have any ideas right now,” Qin Muye said, realizing that if he pushed further, they might actually shoot him.
The security personnel were taken aback. Was that it? Shouldn’t he have continued with something eerie?
“I was going to show you my driving skills, but it seems you guys don’t like the drift technique for turning in the plane’s drainage ditch,” Qin Muye said with a hint of regret.
All the security personnel responded that they didn’t just dislike it; they outright hated it. This driving method sounded problematic from the start.
They had learned from Wang Xia that this guy was quite peculiar and that his disaster level was not just Beta. However, because he hadn’t violated any taboos, he appeared harmless. They tried to satisfy him as much as possible to keep things smooth.
To further confirm his true disaster level, the base that contained him would need to conduct an investigation. It was only the second day of containment, and the results they could gather were limited. If they had found out everything in just two days, that might be a problem in itself.
“If you really want to drive, I’ll report to the supervisor when we get to the base, and he’ll arrange for a professional to give you a test flight,” the squad leader said, trying to calm him down for now.
Whether that would happen later was up to the supervisor. If he lost control at this altitude, they would die, but the Beta-level anomalous entity, the Lord, might not. A containment failure would cause even greater disaster.
It was just a matter of letting him drive a plane. As long as it kept him stable, it wasn’t a big deal.
“Wow, this young man has a bright future. You actually agreed to that. I thought you’d just brush me off,” Qin Muye breathed, almost in awe.
This young man was really broadening his path.
“Let me tell you, the next time you’re in danger, just call my name, and I guarantee I’ll save you with a great void hand from afar. You’ll experience a level of treatment that even the protagonist hasn’t had.”
Qin Muye’s words made the squad leader pause. What was this about a void hand?
However, he noted down Qin Muye’s words and planned to report them when the plane landed. From this, it seemed that the Beta-level anomalous entity, the Lord, possessed some spatial ability.
The squad leader also noted the importance of Qin Muye’s name. The reports had not mentioned this, but as an experienced security officer, he knew that names could be taboos. Fortunately, Qin Muye hadn’t said his name.
In this situation, he naturally agreed, as the entity showed human-like intelligence and couldn’t be treated carelessly.
He had a deep understanding of how terrifying anomalous entities could be. An entity that could communicate and express some goodwill should not be treated with hostility.
The plane landed quickly, and a special task force was already waiting.
The World Defenders had many bases, and each base was assigned an anomalous entity. They had dedicated personnel and aircraft for transportation, and for more dangerous entities, special transport methods were used.
Qin Muye, being rated as a Beta-level anomaly with minimal danger, was transported by plane.
Throughout the journey, a dedicated staff member communicated with Qin Muye. The base’s responsible officials had gathered extensive information on him and had prepared accordingly.
When dealing with anomalies, any lapse in vigilance could mean death.
"This treatment is much better than before. You wouldn’t believe it, but the place I was in earlier was like a prison’s solitary confinement cell." Qin Muye looked around the luxurious room, which was filled with the sense of luxury and comfort.
It seemed that the treatment had improved by a factor of ten compared to his previous base. Otherwise, how could there be all these things, and they were all brand new, indicating they had just been added.
"By the way, we won’t have any containment failures here, right?" Qin Muye asked.
This question made the present personnel’s hearts skip a beat. What are you planning?
"No, the containment failure at X·631 Base was an accident, and it’s the only one in the past ten years," a supervisor nearby responded.
"That’s good. Let me tell you, I was sleeping at the time, and that thing was vicious. Dropping water on my face was one thing, but it kept dripping water on my bed. That’s called psychological warfare. If this gets out, how will I ever show my face again?" Qin Muye said with a righteous indignation.
The personnel present had somewhat odd expressions. If you can face the water from the Alpha-level anomaly, Surge Spring, without any issues, is this person really a Beta-level anomaly and not an Alpha-level one?
"Don’t worry about that. We have hired the highest-level property management, and the base has passed third-party inspections. Here’s the inspection report; there won’t be any more leaks or similar issues," the supervisor said, prepared for Qin Muye’s peculiar nature. This was just a small matter.
"I won’t look at the report. What’s said isn’t important; what matters is what’s done," Qin Muye said slowly.
At first glance, Qin Muye seemed like a grandpa, but in reality, he was indeed treated like one. As long as he didn’t cause trouble, the World Defenders would treat him like a revered ancestor.
Although anomalies have a classification system, this system was proposed by the World Defenders, not by the anomalies themselves.
Even a Beta-level anomaly, if subjected to certain stimuli or taboos, can undergo uncontrollable changes, transforming from harmless or minimally harmful to highly dangerous.
This is why, despite the unknown nature of his abilities, Qin Muye is classified as a Beta-level anomaly because he appears harmless.
The classification of anomalies is not based on so-called strength but on the potential to harm civilization. Otherwise, it would be called a strength level, not a disaster level.
Therefore, the disaster level is not fixed but changes in real-time.
"Yes, yes, we guarantee that," the supervisor nodded and bowed.
After a brief introduction, they left.
The personnel were drenched in cold sweat. This was the first time they had encountered such a peculiar anomaly, but fortunately, they could communicate, making everything go smoothly.
"Tsk, interesting," Qin Muye glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner, not particularly bothered.
If there were no cameras, that would be the real problem.
Most anomalies are under real-time surveillance, except for a few that are unsuitable for visual monitoring, which have other types of monitoring methods.
These measures are taken to monitor anomalies in real-time, which is their primary task.
Of course, they also conduct some research, but it’s not too in-depth to avoid triggering any changes. Even surface-level research has led to numerous advanced technologies.
"This life is probably only comparable to the time I was a corpse," Qin Muye couldn’t help but joke.
Thankfully, he’s not the protagonist, or he might be a member of the World Defenders by now.
That would be tragic. Not only would he be in constant danger, but he couldn’t even go out in the open, given that it’s a secret organization.
In this world, the World Defenders Organization carries a heavy burden to ensure the peace and tranquility of this modern world.
