After defeating the third invader, Yuan returned to the teleportation device and said to the operator, "The invader is dead. Send us to Eastern Dawn immediately."
"H-Huh? What did you say? The invader is—"
"Stop yapping and hurry up with the damn teleporter! Another city still needs to be saved! If we're late, I'll blame you for it and have you bear responsibility!" Mei Feng raised her voice this time.
The operator froze for a good second, then snapped out of it and promptly sent the teleportation request to Eastern Dawn, silently hoping that they'd respond.
One second… two seconds… five seconds…
Every second felt like an hour to the operator, whose face and back were drenched in sweat. His eyes occasionally drifted toward Mei Feng before he hastily looked away, repeating it several times until he finally saw a response.
"A-Accepted! I'll teleport you immediately!" The operator exclaimed as he activated the teleporter.
