18: Chapter 18: How many steps are needed to resolve an exception?

"Them——"

"It's the Association! Definitely the Association!"

Bullet comments streaked across like shooting stars, instantly drawing the gaze of countless Netizens and becoming the focus within the livestream room.

The emblem etched with dark threads on the corners of their clothes was finally discovered by someone.

On the double-layered circles, mysterious creatures were depicted, more than a dozen coiled around, with unclear symbolic meanings, but the eye at the very bottom was definitely impressive and unforgettable!

It felt as though one had been seen through across endless emptiness.

The same emblem had also appeared on the Association members who resolved the Gluttonous Cat during the last special operation.

And it had been copied and depicted by quite a few meddlesome people.

At the time, they thought it was an organization from a movie or a game. The young girl shattered the crisis with a single shot, and her peerless, domineering posture left a deep impression on people.

Judging by the current situation, this organization calling itself the "Pan-Human History Guardian Association" was very likely to truly exist!

And they had appeared once again?!

"Could it be?"

"Are they here to save us?"

"An extraordinary organization that guards humanity actually exists?"

Countless Netizens widened their eyes, their moods complex and unable to calm down for a long time.

The clues deliberately left behind by Su Xiu were found by the Netizens, and the details they discovered themselves obviously made them even more convinced.

[The Pan-Human History Guardian Association triggered massive emotional fluctuations, Emotion Points + 7202]

[Emotion Points + 5190]

[Emotion Points + 3210]

[...]

While Su Xiu was smilingly harvesting.

Inside the scene.

002 truly made a move amidst the doubtful and uncertain gazes of the Netizens.

After the Association's identity and stance were affirmed.

New doubts began to sprout in their hearts.

"With the young girl's strength..."

"Can she deal with the terrifying Crystal Disaster? Could the Association overturn?!"

————

Step! Step!

Calm footsteps trod on the earth, firmly marching forward in the direction where the Crystal Disaster was located.

'Is there certainty in dealing with the Crystal Disaster?'

To Zhao Jinlong's question, 002 did not speak, but directly responded with actions.

Without absolute certainty, how could she possibly be present!

As for the Crystal Disaster?

"The Association's mission is to handle these anomalies!"

002 cast a cold glance at Zhao Jinlong. Her indifferent gaze was like a sharp sword, as if directly seeing through the little thoughts in his mind, causing the embarrassed person to involuntarily chuckle awkwardly.

"Cough cough..."

"Heheheh—"

After a forced smile, upholding the notion that as long as I am not embarrassed, others are the ones who are embarrassed, Zhao Jinlong quickly caught up to 002 in a few steps and spoke with a stiff upper lip.

"Lord Chaos, the infectivity of the Crystal Disaster is too terrifying, you must be careful. Please feel free to order me if there is anything I can help with. Even if I can't do it, we can also request remote support from the military."

Zhao Jinlong puffed out his chest, looking like a max-level laborer, trying to salvage a tiny bit of favorability.

Unfortunately, 002 completely ignored him.

The indifferent gaze was somewhat like looking at an idiot.

Not only did she not ask him for help, but 002 didn't even make a move herself.

She just flicked her hand forward.

Her calm gaze pierced through the obstacles of layers of ice, looking straight at the Crystal Disaster core within the ice and snow world.

"Action!"

A clear and cold voice rang out at the scene.

The surrounding black suits nodded in assent one after another.

Not knowing where they pulled out large bags from, they quickly put on the corresponding protective Gear, fully armed in place.

After 002 gave the order.

These men in suits, nominally the Association's action team, but actually 002's split bodies, all decisively rushed towards the battlefield.

Ignoring the cold Qi in the ice and snow, they charged towards the Crystal Disaster core.

Their movements were extremely fast, and executing commands was done without hesitation.

They could be called the top-tier elites.

But Zhao Jinlong at this moment had no time to marvel at how well-trained these people were, and instead was extremely anxious.

"Be careful!"

"The Crystal Disaster has extremely strong infectivity. These ice layers will also infect outward, and inanimate objects cannot escape crystallization either. Quickly avoid these crystals, as well as the cold currents in the air."

Watching these people charge towards the ice layers, Zhao Jinlong's eyes turned red with anxiety.

No matter what, they were warriors, warriors who marched towards anomalies to resolve crises for humanity.

Regardless of whether the Association's existence was good or bad, at least the current actions of these people were undoubtedly fighting for humanity.

Of course he could not sit back and watch these warriors get infected by the Crystal Disaster, fall into crystallization, and die in excruciating pain.

But these people had no intention of responding.

They still charged forward on their own.

Their orderly actions had not the slightest stagnation.

"Eh?"

"Something's wrong!"

Watching them rush into the ice and snow world with his own eyes, Zhao Jinlong, whose brows were tightly furrowed, gradually reacted.

Panicking out of concern, he finally saw more details.

These people walking on the ice layers, which was the crystallized earth, were actually not infected?

It was impossible that the protective outerwear provided isolation.

Because the Skeleton King, whose long sword crystallized and caused her entire person to GG, had already proven this point.

The Crystal Disaster's judgment didn't care about your fancy tricks at all. As long as you touched it, just wait to receive your boxed meal. If wearing a layer of protective suit could solve the problem, the Skeleton King wouldn't have died so miserably.

Directly crying into a 300-jin fat person, the wailing could be called heartbreaking to those who heard it and tear-jerking to those who listened.

However, why were these people not affected by the Crystal Disaster's power?

No!

Not only themselves!

Even the things they wore on their bodies showed no tendency to crystallize at all.

"Could it be?"

Zhao Jinlong's eyes lit up, as if thinking of something.

In Gear's science popularization livestream, it seemed to have been mentioned that the Crystal Disaster's infection characteristics seemed to be blocked by a certain object?

It's just that the specific content was painted over with black squares, leaving people in the dark.

Could it be?

The Association knew?

And even utilized it targeting the weakness?

Just as Zhao Jinlong was in doubt and uncertainty in his heart.

The special action team charging forward had reached the target.

The earth shattered due to crystallization, turning into an open-air deep pit, and the crystal shining brightly at the very center was shockingly a cubic ice block, which was the Crystal Disaster core!

Swish——

Swish——

Without the slightest hesitation, the black figures leaped down.

After arriving at the center of the deep pit.

They decisively pulled out the prepared items, slipped them over the ice block in the center, and then lifted the container to walk outwards.

The flowing water-like movements were as if they had been rehearsed countless times.

The process of resolving the anomaly was simply unbelievable.

"Gulp..."

Zhao Jinlong couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Feeling that all his worries were groundless anxiety.

For a complete layman like him to actually worry about these professionals overturning was simply too ridiculous.

Especially after inadvertently meeting 002's calm gaze.

"Terrifying infectivity?"

"Extremely dangerous?"

"Are you sure?"

He felt as if he could read these calm rhetorical questions from 002's gaze.

The embarrassed person felt that he could use his toes to dig out a three-bedroom-and-one-living-room apartment on the ground.

Hehe, dangerous?

To them, what the hell was dangerous about resolving the Crystal Disaster's threat!

How many steps does it take to put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Three steps!

Open the refrigerator door, put the elephant in, close the refrigerator door.

And handling this anomalous phenomenon.

For 002 or the Association, it was just three steps.

Walk in front of the anomaly, pick up the anomaly, and put it into the prepared container.

It was totally a piece of cake!

Their crisis, placed in front of the Association, seemed like a trivial action.
