Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Azure glanced at the three little ones, who didn't even have a human form, and they fell into deep thought.

These three little creatures are quite cute, but are they reliable? They just look like a slightly strange animal.

Just then, Aowu suddenly opened his mouth and asked:

"What value should the renormalized group flow of the effective Hamiltonian take in the mental-rule coupling equation used to calibrate the synchronization rate of combat equipment in the nonlinear distortion field of low-order rule fragments? A single-loop value or a double-loop value?"

The moment the words were spoken, the air in the square seemed to freeze.

The three hunters looked completely bewildered. What were coupling equations, nonlinearities, and quantities?

What is he saying?

Aowu turned his head and looked at his two brothers, who had spread out their hands:

"illiteracy."

The three hunters were dumbfounded, but they didn't know how to refute it. They had all fought their way up from the lowest level of refugees and had never even been to school.

I had to cram in some of the basic knowledge later, so how could I possibly know these things?

Li Xia turned and left, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"That's all for now, see you later."

The three hunters mechanically turned around, watched Li Xia leave, and then looked at the three little ones.

Something must be wrong with this world...

.................

The homeless people in the back alleys suddenly realized that the world seemed to have changed, and the gang members who used to run rampant in the back alleys had suddenly disappeared.

The basic nutritional paste, which usually takes two to three days to be distributed and contains various ingredients, has started to be distributed normally.

In particular, the homeless people who, as was customary, wrapped their newborn children in tattered plastic and delivered them to the gang's recycling point did not see any familiar gangs.

Only the Hunter's Guild members sat wearily inside the tent, handing them a basic infant life support kit.

And tell them that they will no longer accept children and should not send them here anymore.

The nearly ten million homeless people in the entire back alley area have put immense pressure on the Hunter's Guild, causing them considerable distress.

This was far beyond their management capabilities, but fortunately, the three little ones stepped in. They used the intelligent system provided by Stark in conjunction with the intelligent devices purchased within the temple.

A highly efficient modern management system was built, extending the entire back alley area in a fan shape according to the nine major companies, and also dividing it into nine areas.

Furthermore, the Hunter's Guild was instructed to distribute its manpower evenly, with each region's leader responsible for establishing the basic infrastructure within their assigned area.

Li Xia also sent a considerable number of people to help them get through the initial chaotic period.

Such development is, of course, rough and barbaric, and even involves many conflicts.

But in any case, the back alley is ultimately developing in a better direction.

When the first streetlamp was lit, its warm, pale yellow light illuminated an area, as if tearing and piercing the first small hole in this dark curtain, allowing the light above to shine in.

As the first shack was razed, the Hunter's Guild erected shacks that were of poor quality.

When the first basic kindergarten was established... and when so many "firsts" appeared, even the numb migrants finally realized one thing:

The back alley seems a little different now.

......................

The leaden sky was covered with dark clouds, which hung low as if pressing directly on the protective shield.

The fine drizzle fell through the membrane of light, carrying a faint, almost imperceptible odor.

A rare light rain fell across the entire Sanctuary; it wasn't exactly clean, but it was precious nonetheless.

Countless refugees emerged from their shacks, standing in the rain with their faces upturned, letting the cold rain wash away the filth from their bodies; their expressions were exceptionally peaceful.

This rain seemed to not only wash away the filth on their bodies, but also cleanse their numb souls.

No one spoke; only the patter of rain filled the entire neighborhood.

At the end of Liuhui Street, on a small hill, a simple cemetery lies quietly in the rain.

Most of the markers are made from half a wooden plank or half a broken brick, with a surname crookedly carved on them. Many others don't even have markers; they are just slightly raised mounds of earth.

Li Xia stood in front of a newly erected tombstone, her hands in the pockets of her trench coat.

Because of his will, the rain was able to penetrate that barrier, allowing the fine rain to wet his forehead and a thin layer of raindrops to fall on his shoulders.

He simply lowered his gaze and quietly looked at the stone tablet in front of him.

"Tina Cervantes, she transformed herself into a ray of light."

Perhaps this light will one day illuminate the entire world.

He gently placed a bunch of pale white flowers in front of the monument; raindrops clung to the petals as they swayed softly.

The three little ones squatted quietly beside him. Silby's mission, the Rusty Nails Gang, the hand hidden deeper within...

From the day Helena was implanted with the alien fragment, the little girl's fate was sealed.

She was a pawn to be discarded, a consumable used to induce isomers, destined to die in some forgotten corner, where not even a splash would be made.

But some people care.

"Let's go."

Li Xia turned around, her trench coat flicking off the raindrops that had slid down her body, which then landed densely on the small white flowers.

The little flowers swayed up and down, as if giving thanks.

...................

"Sir, these are the data for various indicators over the past two weeks."

Reinhardt respectfully placed a document on Li Xia's desk, his tone filled with excitement:

"All indicators are improving across the board."

Both the efficiency of handling serious incidents and isoform outbreaks has been greatly improved.

Even other companies have sent documents praising our work during this period.

"Other companies?"

Li Xia was somewhat puzzled. What business was it of other companies if she was cleaning up the back alley?

He picked up the report and quickly glanced at it, suddenly realizing what was happening while also finding it somewhat amusing.

Unexpectedly, the source was actually within myself.

Among the Nine Wings of the World, industries such as Mystic Crystal Materials, Digital Science, and the Medical Industry have a great interest in pre-disaster supplies, technical equipment, and even the remains of monster variants in the wild.

But it's absolutely impossible to get these "old men" to personally venture into the perilous wilderness.

Therefore, they can only rely on the supplies brought back by hunters from the wild.

The problem is that they lack stable channels; since there are no formal trading channels, they can only purchase through the black market.

Not only are the goods scarce, but some precious items are also secretly withheld by black market merchants for speculation, and may even fall into the hands of some secretive organizations.

Most importantly, the black market drives down prices so much that hunters are not very motivated to go into the wild. As a result, hunters only enjoy themselves or slack off when they have money. They will only go into the wild reluctantly when they are really short of money.

But now, Li Xia's series of actions have directly severed the middleman's chain and established a legitimate recycling organization, instantly depriving black market merchants of their space and fertile ground for survival.

The black market merchants were naturally furious, and their hatred for Li Xia reached its peak.

After all, "cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents," but they didn't dare to retaliate because only titled hunters could deal with them.

No matter how high the price they offered to contact a titled hunter, the hunter looked at them as if they were idiots and then reported it directly.

Turning around, members of the Special Operations Department, exuding murderous intent, stormed in and wreaked havoc, instantly wiping out all their accumulated wealth over the years.

The operations department's slush fund was replenished once again.

Reinhardt and Douglas's eyes turned red. "We've just started to have a good life, and they want to assassinate our boss?"

Li Xia's generosity resulted in a significant improvement in the treatment and benefits of all members of the Special Operations Department. This powerful organization, united as one, was a force to be reckoned with.

If Li Xia hadn't taken no other action and had simply focused on tinkering with the back alley, someone at the company would probably have raised objections and even impeached him.

However, this situation changed dramatically after Li Xia established a recycling mechanism.

The hunters' sales channels became stable, and the prices were fair enough, resulting in a significant increase in their income.

Hunters' willingness to go out in search of things has increased significantly. Coupled with the supporting medical support institutions and the gene-enhancing drugs provided by Li Xia, the number of novice hunters has also seen a surge.

The combined effect of these various actions leads to an increase in the amount of materials and research materials available to other companies.

Their evaluations are all related to the projects they are responsible for; increased research output naturally leads to higher scores.

As for the cries of those black market merchants and the gangs that have been wiped out, what's a little less money? How can that compare to my status?

Get lost! I don't know you! If you dare come back again, I'll go find the Dark Knight Minister!

It was precisely Li Xia's actions that ensured most of the company's employees received satisfactory benefits. Therefore, his subsequent reform plans were able to proceed without being affected.

Those who receive a share of the benefits will naturally unite to suppress those who are resentful and want to cause trouble. This is the charm of a community of shared interests.

When the will of the major companies unites as one, all the evil spirits and monsters will naturally disappear.

In short, this vibrant and thriving scene of all things is right before our eyes.

This is not something that no one has noticed; on the contrary, there are many people who know the crux of the problem.

But no one has the same courage as Li Xia, who dares to use ruthless and iron-fisted methods to clean up the entire back alley, and whose own strength is extremely high, and who is not afraid of retaliation.

When there are too many smart people, things will not get done.

In short, Li Xia is quite satisfied with everything so far.

"Well done!"

Li Xia set the report aside and casually tossed him a cigar.

Reinhardt took it and couldn't help but smile broadly. He ran his fingertip lightly across the cigar, revealing a clean cut.

Then, he rubbed two fingers together, producing a tiny flame, which he then roasted on the surface for a while.

After savoring the aroma of the company's special cigar lingering in his mouth, Reinhard reluctantly exhaled it before smiling and saying, "Thank you, sir."

A cigar is of little importance to him, but it represents Li Xia's approval, which is what Reinhardt values.

Just then, the office lights blazed on again, a blinding red.

The office's metal doors slid open, and Douglas strode in, sweat beading on his forehead.

"Sir, an emergency has occurred!"

The Institute of Order Research issued an alert: the mid-tier isomer 'Echo,' which they were preparing to contain and transfer, suddenly breached the barrier, resulting in the deaths of all escorting and patrol personnel.

Chapter 13 Breaking News! Boundary-Level Heterogeneity

Li Xia stood up, straightened her trench coat-like uniform, and walked forward first.

Reinhardt and Douglas hurriedly followed.

As he walked, people kept coming out of the office and flowing in like a stream, silently following behind him.

By the time they arrived at the tarmac, they had formed two complete squads.

They made no sound, their eyes filled with fervor and worship as they looked at Li Xia, and they were equipped with all the top-of-the-line equipment of "Fortified Defense".

This is the core squad directly under the "Hum and Ha Generals," selected from the best in terms of both combat strength and loyalty.

He is also the most fervent supporter of Minister 'Dark Flame'.

On the tarmac, a large aircraft that looks somewhat like a blue whale is ready, with its anti-gravity engine emitting a faint blue light under its outstretched, fin-like wings.

After Li Xia boarded the aircraft, the massive fuselage trembled slightly and flew into the sky with a flexibility disproportionate to its size.

...................

"Where are the Fortified Defense personnel? Where is the Special Operations Department? Why haven't they arrived yet!"

On the road, which resembled a natural disaster, the internal security captain of Guixu Research Institute erected a light blue defensive barrier, and a member with bloodshot eyes turned around and roared.
