Large, Predator, Society

Among these three words, picking any one, people can still somewhat accept it, even without paying much attention.

However, as long as two are combined together, it's enough to drive people into despair: large society, or large predator, or predator society, any of these represents a cruel, violent monster.

Now, when all of these are combined onto one target, Li Aozi made the wisest decision.

"Scatter and retreat?"

N4 looked strangely at Li Aozi:

"That's truly strange, there are times when you choose to flee without fighting."

When Li Aozi specifically sought her out, N4 was still absorbed in her research process.

"It's the large predator society." Li Aozi said seriously: "Quickly take the important data and equipment, and find a safe direction to flee."

"It's just a society, isn't it? Didn't you kill a lot before?" N4 said dismissively: "I heard you killed three on Baizhu Star."

"Society senators and society itself are two different things, just like spores and the fungal body—besides the situation is different."

Li Aozi had no intention to explain to N4:

"You Azure Star native have never seen society, of course you don't understand anything."

"Really? Why do I feel like you're not worried about society, but rather finding an excuse to drive us out?"

N4 laughed lightly, continuing her experiments at hand.

"It's urgent now, immediately take your people and leave."

"Anyway, you will resolve it, why should I leave? After all, you probably have some secret plan you're going to implement again—"

Crash!

Before N4 finished her words, Li Aozi snatched the test tube from her hand and smashed it on the ground, followed rudely by giving her a slap.

Slap!

N4's frivolous smile immediately solidified, she held her cheek, the slap was not light, the well-maintained skin instantly spread with crimson blood marks.

Her rank is the same as Li Aozi's, such a heavy hand only indicated Li Aozi was really angry...

N4 looked again at Li Aozi, the latter's face was grim, eyes full of anxiety and impatience.

"...Don't tell me, you truly have no solution."

N4 said in a deep voice:

"Is there a problem in this world that you can't solve, Lord Leoz?"

"I still have to notify others, if you don't want to die then quickly lead people away."

Just as Li Aozi finished speaking, he turned and crossed the timeline, disappearing.

N4's gaze flickered, immediately followed by the gravitational wave broadcast in her ear:

"Society's entity is about to attack Green Field City, everyone scatter immediately, preserve the sparks."

"Do not fight with the entity, even a True God seldom can fight it."

"After reaching a safe area, quickly find ways to head towards Narrative Civilization, we'll keep in touch."

"Repeat once more..."

The workers nearby looked at each other, not knowing what to do, while the players acted swiftly, packing their luggage and getting on the move.

A Mingji employee came forward, worriedly asking: "Prophet, what should we do..."

N4 gently wiped the blood from her face, saying:

"Let's go, Li Aozi doesn't want us anymore, what's the point in staying?"

"Uh, his intention should be for us to regroup safely later."

"Regroup?" N4 squinted her eyes: "Hmm, regroup, throw sand into the sea and still want to collect them all, perhaps that's what Li Aozi thinks of as regathering."

"What does that mean..."

"Nothing, I was just saying casually—as employees, talk less, work more."

N4 clapped her hands:

"Young men and women, pack up your things, Mingji Heavy Industries 2.0 is relocating."

Unlike the conspiracy-minded N4, most people were quite persuaded, the broadcast had just come out, they began packing luggage, aiming to move from here within three days.

"It's really a pity, finally brought the city up to this point."

Banam and his apprentices were a bit reluctant; as Architects, they were the most important builders in the city, without them, Green Field City is no more than a campervan.

"We will come back." Li Aozi reassured: "We still have our port here, not possible to hand it over to others."

"That's indeed true," Banam nodded: "But, aren't you leaving with us, Li Aozi?"

"You all are Practitioners of the Pathway of Architecture, belonging to the most important talents in the Border Abyss, no one would dare attack or harm you, but I can't."

Li Aozi shook his head, releasing a cloud of decay from the palm of his hand:

"I have too much dangerous Arcane Energy on me, and in the Border Abyss, I'm part of the discriminated group. Following you all might actually hinder your development."

"Is that so? But in the Layer Abyss, Sequential Arcane Energy holders are also discriminated against, right..."

"The discrimination is stronger in the Border Abyss, it's related to them being a neutral civilization."

Li Aozi shook his head:

"Don't think that leaving me will make things easier for you — Banam, you [Architects] are quite popular, surely you can reach the Narrative Civilization territory. If you do, you must find a woman named Bai Chuliu, also known as 'Fantasy Lord', she is a Sigma Order (18) Ascender who can guide you to a better Pathway."

"I understand."

Banam shrugged; after optimizing his lineage, he already looks no different from a young member of the Spirit Race, even inheriting porcelain skin, which is appealing in the Border Abyss:

"But what about you? The Magicians have already gone through the teleportation gate, and you are now immune to Lower Order Magic, how are you going to leave?"

"You don't need to worry about this, I will first divert [Society] and then find someone to meet up with." Li Aozi nodded: "Most likely I'll go with Nephis, the small crocodile's reconnaissance team has antimatter thrusters."

Seeing Li Aozi's meticulous arrangement, Banam was also relieved:

"Alright, good luck, I will definitely find Fantasy Lord."

After sending off Banam, Li Aozi went over to the players, and before most players had slipped away, announced the start of a promotional event, leasing out all the Arcane Energy he had.

For the foreseeable future, he will find it difficult to obtain new Experience, relying on periodic pig farming— he means players paying rental fees.

Boom!

With a sudden sonic boom, a silver-white shadow crashed down forcefully, Nephis stood firmly on the ground, the inverted triangle helmet opened to reveal her still rigid and indifferent face.

"Boss, the team has been assembled, when are we heading out?"

She approached Li Aozi and asked:

"The staff department's analysis suggests that [Society] is just passing by, and it's unnecessary to risk attracting its attention, we can just leave directly."

"Hmm, I understand. I just want to take a look, observing [Society]'s form can be quite beneficial for a strong one like me."

"So that's it, boss are you planning to observe and learn from [Society]?" Nephis gave a thumbs up, speaking woodenly: "No wonder you're the boss, boss is brilliant and grand, boss is clever and astute..."

"Don't use such a terrifying expression to praise me."

Li Aozi nodded, sending a coordinate to Nephis:

"Nephis, take your subordinates to this location, we'll meet up later."

"Yes, I understand."

Nephis showed impeccable discipline, immediately lowered her face armor, turned and took off, before long, Li Aozi saw her coordinates quickly moving towards the target.

"Subordinates like the small crocodile are truly useful, never wasting my time."

Always executing his Will resolutely, even if it meant sending her to die, Nephis would act immediately.

However, her words seem to have changed somewhat, feeling more humanistic than before?

Li Aozi didn't think any further, and began to direct the migration work.

Every hour, Li Aozi would broadcast throughout the city about [Society]'s advancing speed to elevate people's alertness.

At the same time, Li Aozi also started actively preparing for battle, he began mass-producing his Implant Gear body, everyone could see that he was planning to conduct guerrilla warfare or even sparrow warfare, slowly consuming and delaying [Society]'s advance through sheer numbers.

But Li Aozi was clearly no fool, he allocated several replacement bodies to different people, within Banam's team was a young man, Xides' incarnation was assigned to Nephis' side, and as for N4, Li Aozi gave Zaniya to them.

This nearly entrusted demeanor made N4 feel a sense of crisis, for the first time as severe as never before, even compared to the past confrontations with Lord Entropy or the Void Army.

Li Aozi was wholeheartedly preparing for battle, weapons were placed all over Green Field City, to not betray this desperation in struggle, everyone was going all out, accelerating the migration speed.

By the third day of departure, N4's opinion of Li Aozi had already shifted.

"Don't die here." N4 said: "It would be quite boring if the world were without you."

"It's merely storing weapons with you for a while." Li Aozi said flatly, looking towards Zaniya who was pouting and turning her face aside: "This little one sure has a temper, give her some Rare Metal when you have time, and she'll be tame."

"Talking about you, secretive dog, the smell of Poison Blood on you makes me sick! Sick! Super damn sick!"

Zaniya said disgustedly:

"I can't believe I once fought side by side with you, what a damn shame!"

"Alright, be good, don't say more, at least dear Li Aozi defeated quite a few enemies in the past."

N4 patted Zaniya's head:

"Next time grandma will find you a cute boy to be the Sword Bearer."

"Humph—"

Zaniya folded her arms, reluctantly dispelled on the spot, returning to the blade.

"Looks like you need a new weapon, after all, a Divine Sword is just a tool."

N4 turned to Li Aozi:

"Then, we are leaving."

"Be careful on the road." Li Aozi said: "You can try to inquire about the Scientific Faction Feran's courses. He is a very capable [Biochemist] Pathway Ascender, but he's part of the University Feudatories, I wouldn't recommend deep connections."
