432: Reverse restricted area

“Those dog-blasted GTI, how could they do such a despicable thing!”

“Yeah! Isn't GTI openly violating the regulations we set at the beginning by doing this?”

“Damn it, if only I could go to the real GTI Headquarters, I’d definitely give those bastards a good beating!”

As He Yan burst out, the fuse of anger in the hearts of all the Dragon Country GTI administrators was instantly ignited.

But unlike usual, General Manager Xie Ben, who was standing on the main podium, did not suppress the crowd's emotions or tell them to be quiet; instead, he quietly waited for everyone to calm their anger.

Until he found that the crowd's anger could not be appeased, he slowly walked off the stage and headed towards the exit of the meeting room.

“He Yan, come with me for a moment.”

With that, General Manager Xie Ben also silently walked out of the meeting room.

“He Yan, what exactly is going on?”

Song Qiuyun, who had just listened to the entire meeting, also felt very confused, her eyes revealing great bewilderment.

Because the matter announced at the meeting was too sudden.

Thousands of administrators on site, upon receiving the notification from GTI Headquarters, immediately dropped what they were doing and came to attend the meeting.

This scene was not limited to Dragon Country; it was the same in GTI branches across the entire Blue Star.

Everyone felt a sense of trepidation when they received the notification, and after listening to the meeting's content, that feeling became a reality.

GTI Headquarters, through each GTI head in every country, announced an unacceptable matter.

From the moment the meeting ended, GTI Headquarters would prematurely establish Reverse Restricted Zones on Blue Star!

The so-called Reverse Restricted Zones meant swapping the positions of Blue Star and the world where Asala and Hafk resided.

These newly appeared Restricted Zones would not be explored by Blue Star's GTI agents; instead, they would be explored by various forces from the other world.

And this time, Blue Star became the gatekeeper of these Restricted Zones!

In other words.

In these newly appeared Restricted Zones, it would no longer be the people of Blue Star acting as GTI agents, entering the Restricted Zones to search for supplies and trying to find ways to evacuate.

Instead, it would be Asala, Hafk, or another force from the opposite world, joining GTI and becoming GTI agents.

Although the administrators of Blue Star had long known that there would be a day of offense and defense reversal, these were all matters predetermined by GTI Headquarters.

However, according to the treaty signed when GTI first came to Blue Star, such Reverse Restricted Zones should only appear in the real world at least 178 years after the Restricted Zones first appeared!

The reason for this regulation was mainly to consider the technological gap between the two worlds.

On Blue Star, human technology still needed to develop, while in the other world, Hafk's technology had already soared!

GTI Headquarters set the time for 178 years after the Restricted Zones appeared because, according to their calculations, Blue Star would need at least that many years to catch up with the progress of the opposite world by using Restricted Zone resources to advance its technology.

However, this Restricted Zone has now appeared 120 years earlier!

Upon learning this news, the Dragon Country administrators present could no longer suppress their anger and began to curse loudly in the meeting room.

“I’m not sure about the specifics, I’ll ask my teacher.”

He Yan sighed heavily, not lingering to chat with the person next to him, and directly followed General Manager Xie Ben's retreating figure.

“Notice: GTI has opened the return channel for everyone. All administrators, please return to your original posts and continue working.”

“Repeating the notice: GTI has opened the return channel for everyone…”

Just as Song Qiuyun was about to say something to He Mo next to him.

A new announcement from GTI Headquarters was heard again from the mobile phones of all administrators present.

“I always feel like, to GTI, we are just like pets I keep at home, whose every action can be monitored at any time, with no privacy whatsoever.”

He Mo smiled faintly; though his tone was light, the content was very heavy.

...

He Yan walked out of the meeting room and saw that General Manager Xie Ben was already waiting for him, not having gone far.

“Teacher, what is it?”

Seeing his somewhat weathered back, He Yan felt very uneasy.

General Manager Xie Ben, at his age, should have retired and enjoyed his later years, but for the sake of GTI, he still had to worry about the entire Dragon Country.

Especially with GTI Headquarters going back on its word and suddenly doing something that violated the spirit of the contract, General Manager Xie Ben must have felt even more distressed.

The last time, General Manager Xie Ben was so excited when he heard about Xiao Yun's performance through his earpiece; now, he appeared just as exhausted.

“He Yan, I want to ask you something.”

General Manager Xie Ben's tone was calm, unlike any of the administrators inside.

“Teacher, please ask.”

“How strong are Xiao Yun and his team, exactly?”

Beneath General Manager Xie Ben's thick glasses, his eyes held a look of expectation.

However, at this moment, those eyes were already somewhat moist.

“Very strong, stronger than anyone I’ve ever seen.”

Facing General Manager Xie Ben's question at this time, He Yan did not dare to be vague.

“Including Song Qiuyun?”

“Including Song Qiuyun.”

He Yan answered decisively.

After considering these few matches, he was completely convinced by Xiao Yun's strength.

He originally thought he was a highly talented newcomer who would need time and experience to fully mature.

But from the current situation, Xiao Yun doesn't just have talent.

Whether it's his understanding of the Restricted Zones, his mastery of the maps, or his combat and search abilities, his strength already far surpasses Song Qiuyun's.

Although He Yan was unsure where his extraordinary strength came from, now was not the time to dwell on those matters.

He only knew that Xiao Yun was very strong, abnormally strong.

This meant that Dragon Country GTI, besides Song Qiuyun, now had another trump card.

“That’s good…”

General Manager Xie Ben let out a long sigh of relief; being knowledgeable and experienced, he didn't need to ask further and understood what He Yan meant at that moment.

“There’s one thing I only want to tell you.”

“Teacher, what is it?”

“GTI Headquarters gave me a separate message.”

As General Manager Xie Ben spoke, he pulled out a tablet from his briefcase.

Its appearance was similar to the ones used for assessments, but it was a different model, with a green triangular pattern printed on the back.

This was a special item specifically issued by GTI Headquarters to the head of each country on Blue Star.

It not only had special functions but also symbolized status.

“GTI Headquarters told me…”

General Manager Xie Ben swiped the tablet, showing He Yan a special interface.

It showed a figure of Seyid, seemingly moving back and forth within the Administrative Building.

“They said that the reason they opened the Reverse Restricted Zones early is because Xiao Yun broke the rules.”

“What!?”

Hearing this, He Yan immediately felt disbelief.

“Xiao Yun? Him? What rules could he break?”

“This is the only thing that infuriates me about this matter.”

As General Manager Xie Ben spoke, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
