Chapter 241 Military Commanders

As Shi Tian pondered the implications of the abnormally high magicule density in District C and his own mysterious abilities, Mary continued to analyze the data on her screen.

She was determined to find any patterns or clues that might help them understand why these evolved Gilaso variants were drawn to areas with such extreme magicule density.

Hours passed as Mary meticulously combed through the data. Shi Tian, on the other hand, was lost in thought, contemplating the significance of his unique situation.

He wondered if there was a connection between the magicule density and his own abilities.

Suddenly, Mary's fingers froze on the keyboard. Her eyes widened, and she let out an exclamation of surprise. "Nathan, I think I've found something!"

Startled, Shi Tian snapped out of his reverie and leaned closer to see what Mary had discovered.

On the screen, there was a graph displaying magicule density fluctuations over time. It showed spikes in density at irregular intervals.

"What's significant about these fluctuations?" Shi Tian asked, trying to make sense of the data.

Mary pointed at the spikes. "Look at these peaks. They correspond to areas where the magicule density is unusually high, like what we're seeing now. But these fluctuations aren't natural. They seem to follow a pattern, and they're not random."

She zoomed in on one of the peaks and overlaid a map of District C. To their amazement, the peak aligned with a specific location in the district.

"It's as if these evolved Gilaso variants are drawn to these areas with heightened magicule density," Mary mused. "And if we can predict where the next spike will occur, we might be able to intercept them before they reach District C."

Shi Tian nodded in agreement. "That could give us a significant advantage. But how do we predict where these spikes will happen?"

Mary furrowed her brow in concentration. "We need to keep monitoring the data, looking for any signs of impending spikes. There might be some external factors or triggers that cause these fluctuations. If we can identify them, we might be able to predict when and where the next one will occur."

"By external factors, do you mean there's a high possibility of someone else manipulating the spikes?" Shi Tian's question brought light to a possibility that could be horrifying at the same time.

If someone was capable of manipulating such spikes and causing monsters to evolve, then this discovery would be just the tip of the iceberg.

"I think this is enough information," Mary explained, unwilling to unravel further.

"What we just discovered is no longer our scope of ability and we should just leave this to the others." She added, implying that they should inform Theobold.

Shi Tian nodded his head, agreeing to her suggestion. The scale had just escalated into something major again, almost as if there was a never-ending situation to this messy water already.

With that in mind, Mary uploaded all the data she found into the Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive, a great storage device for any computer data, files, etc.

After storing all the relevant data in the USB flash drive, Mary made sure to encrypt the information as well, adding an extra layer of security.

"Okay, I'm going to head toward the command center and deliver the USB flash drive to Commander Theobold. You can continue to work on your code." Mary said calmly, getting ready to leave.

"The code is finished already." Shi Tian replied and stretched his shoulders to relax. "Now all I need to do is finish up the remaining part of the semiconductor and we're good to go."

"Not bad," Mary was somewhat impressed by his speed.

"I thought it would take you another 30 minutes or so," She added, giving a somewhat approving expression. After that, she grabbed her mask and put it on, making her way to the command center.

Shi Tian, on the other hand, changed his seating and went to work on the semiconductor that Mary had left off.

To his amazement, despite Mary complaining about crafting it, the semiconductor was built neatly.

"This Mary… she's like the talented genius but very unenergetic and doesn't care about the subject type of person." He twitched his mouth and muttered.

While Shi Tian was somewhat envious of her talent and got to work, Mary calmly walked toward the command center with an encrypted USB flash drive.

However, Mary didn't even get to the entrance of the command center when she saw Theobold coming out of it.

"Commander Theobold-"

Mary tried to call him out, but Theobold stormed off to a faraway area along with numerous soldiers.

Confused, Mary decided to follow ahead to see what was so serious that Theobold needed to personally head out.

A few minutes later, Mary noticed three more advanced military vehicles followed by more vehicles that were filled with soldiers.

'No wonder… all the military commanders are now gathered in one place.' Mary thought to herself, noticing three uniform-clad people who exuded a somewhat similar aura to Phoebe and Benedict.

As Mary realized this herself and watched from the sideline, Theobold on the other hand strode forward and greeted the three newcomers.

"I didn't expect that Phoebe and Egg Benedict weren't enough, but also required the two of you, Samantha, Nancy, and Damon." Theobold glanced at the three military commanders and inspected them closely.

Samantha had long, flowing purple hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of amethyst silk. It matched quite well with her proportional figure along with the team that she was commanding. Her military team was called Amethyst and was under the banner of the Hersey Family.

Nancy, on the other hand, had short hair dyed in a silver color, but had a similar physique to Samantha, albeit lighter in terms of her skin. She commanded the military team, Clear Skye, under the banner of the Warner Family.

As for Damon, his skin was darker, and was rocking with spiky dark hair that seemed as if it had been electrified before. His build and physique were massive, a clear definitive of him being akin to a bodybuilder. He was the commander of the military team, Obsidian, and under the banner of the Harrett Family.

With the entry of these three military commanders, the frontline officially had a total of six military commanders respectively.

'Are we at war with each other or a monster wave?' Seeing the high tension, Mary wondered if there was going to be a battle of attrition among them.
