Chapter 69 Order Maintainers

The space here was much larger than the simulated worlds they had been to before. There seemed to be no boundaries, as if they were now in the real world.

However, the sense of the future and technology embodied in these buildings was not a product of modern society.

Everything before them pointed to one answer: they were still within the space created by the meteorite.

"Could it be that the evolution of species has already ended?" Rou Yi wondered.

The ultimate evolution should not be just what was before their eyes. The evolutionary process in the cave passage coming to an abrupt end at this moment was indeed puzzling.

"Whether evolution has ended or not is still unknown, but it seems that we should have reached a crucial location in the skyscraper," Fatty pondered. "Perhaps the exit is here."

If the exit was here, then Fatty and the others could escape their predicament as soon as possible and reunite with the external support team. This should have been a good thing, but Fatty was still very worried. He was concerned about Jennifer's situation. What if Jennifer was trapped here and they found the exit? What should they do then? Should they abandon Jennifer?

Just as Fatty was lost in thought, Levan interrupted him.

"Someone's coming!" Levan warned.

Upon hearing Levan's warning, the group quickly hid behind a cover. They peeked out to observe the situation in the direction Levan had indicated.

Sure enough, as Levan had said, several people came out of a building not far away. They were all wearing white robes, and it was impossible to tell what was underneath.

"White robes..." Levan murmured, trembling.

"What's the deal with these white robes, Levan? Tell us about them," Fatty asked from the side.

Levan wiped the sweat from his forehead and slowly said, "These white robes are... are the order maintainers in this space. Once they find you, you have a slim chance of survival... My companions back then were..."

Speaking of his companions' fate, Levan suddenly stopped, as if their experience had touched a nerve.

"Order maintainers..." Fatty muttered. He could tell from Levan's tone that something very terrible was under those white robes.

Fatty remembered that the first time he met them, he even planned to have a direct conversation with the people under the white robes. Now it seemed that he had been a little rash.

"But why would they appear in this place?" Levan wondered.

Levan explained to Fatty and the others that the white robes were the order maintainers in this space. Levan had personally witnessed the white robes incinerating worlds where "evolution" had failed, tracking down and eliminating abnormal variables in the simulated worlds.

Fatty and the others, as outsiders, were abnormal variables for the simulated world.

Levan continued, "I used to be chased around the world by the white robes. This is the first time I've seen them gathered together."

"Do these white robes have any weaknesses?" Fatty eagerly asked, as if he was planning to find a breakthrough from the white robes.

"I've never observed them up close. Every time they showed their faces, I ran away..." Levan recalled the moments when he had clashed with the white robes. "However, I remember that when my companions were caught by the white robes, they suddenly turned into wooden figures, as if their souls had been drawn away. They didn't seem to have any conflict with the white robes at all. It looked like they surrendered without any resistance. I've always suspected that the white robes have some kind of mental control ability."

Levan's words made Fatty and the others' hearts sink. Fatty thought to himself that they couldn't confront the white robes head-on. They had to find a way to deal with them. In any case, they should catch one and see what's going on.

Fatty wanted to ask Levan how to approach the white robes, but before he could speak, one of the white robes in the distance suddenly turned its head and looked at them.

The four of them were so frightened that they quickly ducked back behind the rock.

"I feel... like we've been discovered..." Dodge, who had been silent all along, suddenly said.

Actually, they all noticed it even without Dodge saying so, otherwise they wouldn't have hidden themselves in unison.

Fatty quietly poked half his head out from behind the cover, wanting to see if the white robes had made any movements.

But when Fatty raised his head and looked at the position where the white robes had been, he found that it was empty.

Not only the white robe that had noticed them just now, but all the white robes had disappeared together.

Fatty realized that something was wrong. The white robes might have taken some action against them, and their situation was very bad at this moment.

"Damn it... the white robes are gone," Fatty said to Rou Yi, Levan, and Dodge beside him.

However, Fatty didn't receive any response.

Fatty repeated his discovery, "The white robes are gone."

But he still didn't hear any response from Rou Yi, Levan, or Dodge. He felt that something was wrong, so he turned his head to look to the side.

With this one look, Fatty was stunned.
