The Rescue Incident Part 3

/*unedited*/

On the way to the Nevada desert, Mary and the team with her received a call from the general. Meanwhile, the current facility surrounding the portal also received a call from the higher-ups.

They were all commanded to retreat from the location.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is now in a room along with many generals and heads of the state especially those in charge of the Nevada portal project.

This emergency meeting was called because of General McGrady and had caused different reactions from the different agencies.

"What is the meaning of this General McGrady?" a middle-aged man who is the chief of staff of the United States, asked while looking at the General sitting on the side with Shin Jiao.

"Mr. Secretary, I received crucial information about the other side of that portal." General McGrady said while looking at the rest of the people on the table and those online.

"What kind of information?" a man wearing a general uniform asked with interest in his expression.

"First-hand experience information." General McGrady said with a smile.

Upon hearing his words, everyone turned silent. However, one of them showed a doubtful look on his face.

"First-hand? You mean you've sent mutants in there without our consent?" he said with an accusatory tone.

With his remark, everyone suddenly looks at each other and turned their gaze at General McGrady. General McGrady and two other generals are in charge of the mutant relocation project. But some of the people in the room wanted that project but didn't get it, so they carry a little animosity towards General McGrady and the other two generals.

General McGrady didn't say anything but press a button on the remote and the screen behind the chief of staff suddenly showed a drawing or an illustration.

Shin Jiao was the one who drew this according to the knowledge he remembers in the cultivation world. This drawing is the Daemon forest.

In the illustration, he drew three circles, the inner, the middle, and the outer circle. He then drew the border towns and the possible distance of each circle along with the names of the towns.

As the people look at the illustration on the screen they had a look of disbelief in their eyes. This is because no one believes that such a thing is true. Plus the distance displayed in the drawing is outrageous. It's like if they combine the whole area of the said forested place it would be as big as the Earth. So who would believe such a thing?

Before anyone would react, the general stood up and explained the illustration according to what Shin Jiao told him.

"… This area called the 'Daemon Forest' in our local language is a sea of trees from miles. Not only is it full of trees, but it is also populated by different kinds of monsters they called 'Beasts'. In the outer layer, are the beast that can be easily killed by our normal rifles, but handguns are ineffective on them. The middle area is where the beasts that we have already seen in the satellite photos came from. But according to my source, there is another beast that should not belong to the middle area, but instead to the inner area, that was the dragon-like thing that appears and then returns no long later. Hence we deduce that the portal might be located near the border of the middle area and the inner area of the Daemon Forest."


After the people in the room heard this, everyone turned quiet. But then the same person spoke up.

"Do you have any evidence of this?"

"I know that most of you have knowledge of the famous virtual world game called 'Merging Worlds', now that world in that game came from this place. The creator actually copied the world in the game from there."

"Wait a minute, that's right, I now remember the Daemon Forest. It is a very dangerous place in the game but yields great rewards. So you mean that place is true?" a bespectacled man who looks like a civilian scientist asked in excitement.

"Hold your horses' doctor… You mean that the game world is actually a real world, and that portal connects us to that world?" one of the generals asked while shaking his head.

A hush discussion immediately envelops the area.

"General McGrady, this does no sound illogical. How could a game be exactly like the world on the other side of the portal?" the chief of staff asked in confusion as he too could not believe the information at hand.

Seeing that the general is already in trouble of answering, Shin Jiao didn't hesitate to stand up. He knew that he needed to explain things. This is because Earth would be in danger if the portal truly connects the two worlds.

If the Qi and mana flow from the cultivation land towards earth, then many things would change. And it would cause chaos. So he needed to make a move and stop such a thing from happening. Although he is not a hero, still he lives on earth right now, so he would not let it be destroyed just because of his own selfishness and worries.

Plus he still could not remember what happened to him in that world.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Shin Jiao. I am the one who created the virtual world, 'Merging Worlds' and I came back from that world." He said while looking at the people around him.

Upon hearing, Shin Jiao everyone was a bit taken aback. They did not expect that the person sought out by the whole world is actually with them. However, the people in the room are veterans when it comes to politics and tactics, except for the scientists in the room, the officials are not showing any reactions.

Meanwhile, the scientist and the other assistants in the room had a look of excitement in their eyes.

Shin Jiao began telling them about what happened to him a few months back before he was pronounced missing.

After hearing his story and that he lost some of his memories everyone's expression turned solemn.

"Mr. Jiao… if what you are saying is true then, we have no chance of winning against the creatures in there once the portal totally opens, right?" the chief of staff said after thinking for a while.

Shin Jiao nodded his head.

"What is your proof of this claim?" the same man wearing a black suit asked as he stood from his chair.

The man is the CIA assistant director who submitted a plan to control the mutants. His plant was against human rights, hence it was dismissed.

Plus it is known that he held some grudge against the mutants for some reason.

Hearing his doubtful words, Shin Jiao just turned his gaze towards him and didn't reply. He didn't have the duty to answer the man because he can feel his animosity towards him.

"I already told you what I know, it is up to you to decide. The destruction of your country would depend on your next action." Shin Jiao said frankly.

"But if you want to survive, permit me to approach the portal and try to close it down." Shin Jiao added.

When everyone heard his words, they look at each other and a cacophony of discussion envelops the room. Each has its own views of the matter and their own opinion, so they began to discuss it.

Shin Jiao seeing the discord, turn towards the Chief of staff, and bowed his head.

"I will leave you to decide. But I hope that your decision would not take long. I will give you 1 day. If you can't decide on your own, I will personally head to the portal site with or without your support. I too wanted to close this portal as I don't want the earth to be in chaos." Shin Jiao said as he turns around and leaves the room.

Hearing his words, everyone was a bit dumbfounded.

"How can an Asian join our meeting, General McGrady, you have much explaining to do." The CIA Deputy Director, Allan Carter said while pointing his finger at General McGrady.

The later just brush it off and also stood.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I already did my part. As for our department, we will assist the young man in closing the portal. I don't want to see the country that I work hard to protect fall because I didn't do anything… I have seen those monsters and how our current arsenals are unable to kill them. If there is a chance that what Mr. Jiao told us is true, then I for one would agree upon his action." He said as he stood up and also left the room.

After the two left, everyone began to discuss while the Chief of staff felt a headache coming.

"Call the president, we need to inform him of this." He said to the woman beside him.



The night sky breeze felt a bit chilly, but the figure of Susan Tang stood calmly on a balcony railing of their temporary room in the military barracks.

Suddenly she felt a presence from behind her as two strong arms wrapped her in a warm embrace.

"What are you thinking?" Shin Jiao whispered as he rested his head on the nape of her neck.

Shin Jiao took a whiff of her wonderful scent and breathes in deeply.

"You smell really good." He muttered making Susan Tang blush.

She slowly turns around and put both of her hands on his neck and displayed a sweet smile.

"How was the meeting?" she asked with a smile while observing his handsome face and his lips.

When Shin Jiao saw the gaze of Susan Tang his heart could not help but beat faster. The heat in his body is slowly rising as his blood uncontrollably rushes in. Then a sudden reaction from his lower body, made Susan Tang stop from her action as a blush crept on her beautiful charming face.

"Sorry, you're just too beautiful…" Shin Jiao said, but suddenly an image of someone came to his mind.

Susan Tang and the woman's face are almost similar, and a big scar on that woman's lower face is the only difference.

The change in his expression didn't escape Susan Tang's eyes as she asked in a low voice.

"Shin, what's wrong?"

But what answered her are the soft lips of Shin Jiao.

Although he was a bit taken aback, Susan Tang still reciprocated and the two began to have some bouts of passionate kissing.

Meanwhile, they didn't notice that a figure is standing below and saw the two making out.

Shi Anne Li was a bit taken aback, but just diverted her gaze and continues walking. She knew that she is not the only woman, in Shin Jiao's heart anymore. Though she was a bit jealous and a bit hesitant to accept the situation, she still could not let go of him.

So, since Susan Tang could also accept her, then she would also accept the latter. This way she would be with the man she loves.

Before she could walk away, an alarm in the base woke everyone up. She immediately ran towards the apartment as quickly as she could because she knew that only with Shin Jiao is where she can be safe.

The alarm reverberated through the whole base which also interrupted the people in the meeting room who is still discussing what they should do next.

Although the alarm startled everyone, the soldiers orderly ran to their posts to prepare and defend the base.

Then from the night sky, they saw a V05-Banshee flying unsteadily with thick smoke coming from its rear.

With Shin Jiao's sharp eyes and senses, he immediately recognizes that it was the aircraft that Captain James and his team took to rescue Slick.

Seeing the situation, Shin Jiao squinted his eyes as he observes the aircraft.

Meanwhile, Shi Anne Li and Park Jiyong entered Shin Jiao's room.

"What is happening?" asked Shi Anne Li with an alarmed tone.

"It's Captain James. I think they were in trouble… Stay here and don't leave the room no matter what happens, okay?" Shin Jiao said as he turns around and left.
