Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess - Chapter 440

It had been two hundred years since people focused their attention and devotion to war matters. The priorities of scientists and researchers were mostly in developing weapons or studying the weaknesses of the fae and the dino. The dire circ.u.mstance dictated such change, and rarely would there be people studying what was underneath the Earth’s surface. Unless the purpose was to search for new mines and other strategic minerals and materials.

Thankfully, there would still be reports forwarded to the central government whenever something unusual happened.

Because of the small spark of doubt that the weird senior had sparked in her heart, Wang Yu Yan looked into it on the way to the testing arena. She then found some clues half-verifying Jiang Li’s words. It helped that there were already clues scattered on the internet and that Wang Yu Yan’s rank permission was enough.

The more she read, the more things became complicated in her eyes. Before she knew it, her brows were almost meeting at the center.

Unfortunately, just when she was already considering whether to investigate personally, a command from her superior was suddenly passed down. She was left with no choice but to request somebody to do it on her behalf, and there was no telling when the results would come out.

…

This happened a few minutes after the villainess left the headquarters.

“Suspicious people snuck into the city?” she asked.

Wang Yu Yan did not tarry long to request to see the ones reported.

The person who called her promptly showed the surveillance footage and explained, “Colonel, they are first sighted between our city and Nur-Sultan, not in between the borders of our Beijing city and the ones owned by the fae race. Their faces could not be seen. But we detected grey gems on them.”

The officer was from another station but was reporting to her since she was just assigned to take over the soldiers there.

Wang Yu Yan’s face showed no change, her eyes focused on the figure on the screen. A few moments later, she amusedly said, “I get it. They are definitely not humans from Nur-Sultan. Must be fae who are trying to confuse us. They are most likely on a mission to save the ones locked up in our prison. Officer Zhang, at all costs, captured those people. If you can’t, then kill them. And if they proved to be really tough opponents, hold on until I arrive.”

The soldier had just saluted when the communication ended.

Wang Yu Yan looked at the Southeastern part, her carrier traveling towards it at almost a speed of light. Even though it was a thousand miles away, she would most likely arrive within thirty minutes. Of course, this speed was only possible because she was riding one of the most advanced transport in the city. A thousand years after World War III and space jump technology was still just a dream.

The villainess closed her eyes. The map of the southern region, in particular, the layout of the important facilities there popped up in the darkness that greeted her. The information of the people commanded to go with her also appeared in her mind.

As Wang Yu Yan was busy running simulations in her imagination, she did not know that she would run into two troublesome people shortly, the female lead and the male lead. The latter was on his way to rescue his subordinates.

Jiang Li was no longer in the city. He was heading south to speed up the recovery of his magic. Even though the world had entered a bleak state, that place was still unaffected, and as cold as ever. There would be no better place for him to practice and absorb nature energy.

The man left hurriedly since he had no plans to simply side with the humans. Yet he also knew that the strength of a single mortal would not be able to make waves once the real war started. What to do then? Naturally, to power up! In this world where magic and science had yet to fully integrate, it was still possible to reach the level of local deities. When he visited Dong Lan last time, he had observed something and was sure that the other party was also aware of it. That fae high priest was also trying to breakthrough.

Thankfully, even though Jiang Li had left, an informant in the military had managed to alert him about the southern part of the villainess’ city. This only became possible because he had yet to arrive where signals could no longer reach. Due to this, he managed to deduce that fae race elites had been sent to rescue the imprisoned nobles.

Over the next few days, the villainess played mouse and cat with the infiltrators while pretending to be a normal fresh recruit. It was quite the feat considering that she was also scheming for humanity’s survival.

However, the leads’ party was full of elites from the younger generation of the fae race. How could they not discover Wang Yu Yan? Luck was always by their side so they managed to discover the identity of the person creating troubles for them.

“Mohan, we have to do something about that woman.” One time, the female lead Nuwa spoke again.

There were seven more people around them, all sporting grim expressions.

It had been three days since they ended up trapped in the human city. Somebody had closed down the whole area. They found it hard to leave the Southern district for the northwest where their rescue targets were locked up.

The only thing they were being thankful for was the fact that not all humans were smart. Some had been easily fooled when they disguised themselves. If not for this, they would have been forced to hide in disgusting places like sewers.

Mohan cast his eyes on Nuwa. The woman was very beautiful. Although her real facial features were hidden by their colleague’s magic, in his eyes, she was still exceedingly attractive.

However, the current situation was not one which would allow him to fully appreciate it.

Mohan frowned at her words, sinking into contemplation. His blue eyes that temporarily looked like human eyes narrowed at the hologram display before him. A moment later, he finally voiced out, “Honest thoughts. Even though overall, humanity is inferior to us, their home ground is still not something only a few of us could roam around as we pleased…”

“We all know that, Mohan. We’re trapped, so we have to think of a way to bypass the checkpoints and get to where Agur and the rest are,” replied Nuwa.

“Should we split up to confuse them? We can also use our dinos. The rest of us buy time while one or two sneak away. I feel like the industrial area is not as guarded since it is owned by several families. We can stir troubles there by dragging two or more business families into a fight to make it more chaotic,” suggested the most solemn-looking soldier, a fae elite who was actually the youngest.

“We can try.” Mohan though for a moment before he nodded. “With that said, now, I want us to discuss how to deal with the commander.”

“That lowly ant? What’s there to discuss? We have to kill her!” One of the elites scoffed. The expressions of the others too did not look good. It was clear how annoyed they felt about Wang Yu Yan and her forces.

However, Mohan shook his head. “No, we can’t kill her. I have a feeling that this human is one of the most important officers in the entire human army. She might be more useful for us alive.”

Nuwa glanced at him with puzzlement. She did not know why the man gave that suggestion. If it were to trade for resources, that did not make sense. They were clear that humanity was not better than them in terms of resources. She could even wager that if they captured the daughter or son of the current Federation President, they would not be able to exchange them for anything.

‘Hmm…’ The female lead studied the other fae’s expression.

Mohan was not blind so he saw that everyone around him was giving him puzzled glances. However, he did not explain. His companions then chose to not question him any more. It was not because of his status, but because they trusted in the Pontiff’s vision.

After a few more exchanges of words, the group perfected the plan. It seemed the fae elite squad had been triggered this time. When the battle began, they fought with their all, some even activated their trump cards.

Their efforts paid off this time. Mohan successfully escaped the Southern district. Nuwa who had been sent to infiltrate the command center of the Southern area managed to knock Wang Yu Yan out and capture her. This also testified to the superiority of the fae.

Even though the female human commander toughened up the surrounding defense, when an opening presented itself, Nuwa easily took advantage of it. She almost annihilated the bodyguards assigned to the villainess. The female lead had exercised great self-control to stop herself from killing Wang Yu Yan.

Now, the trajectory of fate had officially changed. In this lifetime, it was the female lead who first met the villainess.
