"Haha, I know, but leaving these Sequence Handcuffs here is just gathering dust. It's rare for them to be put to use."
As they were talking, Yelai walked over. He glanced at the Sequence Handcuffs but didn't pay them much attention. The Sequence Handcuffs could prevent a certain rank of Sequencer from using their Sequence, but they were not a Secret Artifact; rather, they were something humanity had created through continuous exploration since the End of the Sequence.
Soon after, in order to quickly bring the children back to the Safe Zone, Yelai and the others made a decision after some discussion. The Fifth Squad Captain and Uncle Zhou would lead a team, taking a portion of the children in two off-road vehicles left by Zhong Zhi, while Yelai and Zhang Yinlin would lead the remaining group on foot, waiting for them to return and pick them up.
Three to four hours later, after making two trips back and forth, Yelai and Zhang Yinlin got into the off-road vehicle to take the children back.
"Is there really this many of us?" Yelai said as he looked out the car window upon arriving at the entrance of the Safe Zone.
At the entrance of the Safe Zone, which was usually less crowded, a throng of people had gathered. As soon as they saw the off-road vehicle approaching, they became restless, all looking toward it as if searching for something.
"The capture of Zhong Zhi has caused quite a stir," murmured a member of the Third Squad.
Yelai nodded at this comment, not surprised at all. As the captain of the Safe Zone's First Squad and with the Second Squad also involved in this incident, losing two major Sequencers from the Defense Team had a significant impact on the Safe Zone. This directly affected the safety factor of the Safe Zone; how could the crowd not react strongly?
When Yelai got out of the vehicle, shouts erupted from the crowd.
"It's Yelai! He's in that car!"
"Hiss, Yelai really came out of the Safe Zone."
"Could that video be real?"
The crowd became extremely agitated. Some were focused on Zhong Zhi being carried off the vehicle, while others were pushing towards Yelai, eager to get closer.
Yelai listened to the chaotic discussions of the crowd, a vague suspicion forming in their mind.
“Yelai, over here!”
Uncle Zhou pushed through the throng, waving for Yelai to come over.
“Make way! Don’t push, keep order!” he shouted, forcibly clearing a path so that Yelai wouldn’t be surrounded by the crowd.
After a moment, with Uncle Zhou explaining the situation, Yelai and Zhang Yinlin made their way over. Just recently, due to the tragic incident involving child casualties, the first group led by Uncle Zhou had contacted parents to bring their children back.
While they were connecting with those parents, because of the children's deaths, Uncle Zhou and his team had to apologize and couldn’t attend to the kids.
Soon after, even Xiao Jun, along with the first batch of children, innocently approached their parents with questions. They demanded to know why their parents had lied to them about Yelai.
As a result, word spread rapidly—one telling another—until the parents quickly learned that it was not the Defense Team’s Sequencer who had saved their children, but rather the “useless key” Yelai, whom they had previously dismissed as unworthy of Captain Luo Zhenxue.
At first, they didn’t believe it until Xiao Jun presented video evidence. No parent present could remain calm; their expressions were filled with shock.
Afterward, news about Yelai spread like wildfire throughout the Safe Zone. By the time Yelai and the others returned with the children, in just three or four hours, the information had circulated through most of the Safe Zone. Without exception.
Everyone who heard the news was stunned. Some couldn't believe it. Yelai had become a Sequencer and could easily suppress both the First Squad and the Second Squad. The Safe Zone was destined to be anything but peaceful. It was certain that the next day's headlines would feature the name Yelai prominently.
