Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

The reconnaissance mission is successfully completed.

It was late at night when the airship returned to Lighthouse Island.

Compared with the state before leaving, the lighthouse island became more and more lively after nightfall.

Although it was not as grand as yesterday's bonfire dinner, the addition of new members still made the flying dragon boats look full of enthusiasm.

The light of the lighthouse shines everywhere.

Devices that were previously shut down due to various issues are turned back on.

The resources and manpower brought by the settlement migration filled the gap, making the long-abandoned factories and workshops operate quickly.

The projects in various areas of the dragon boat started successively.

The members of the settlement who entered the new environment worked extra hard to defend their new home in the coming war.

Not only that, the settlements that have survived so far on the perilous floating island have provided a large number of excellent soldiers.

These warriors who have grown up amidst the natural disasters and beast hordes are now fully armed.

The improvement of combat power is definitely more than one level.

Each guard captain sent elite fighters in the team to train them.

It is not to teach how to face monsters, but to make them familiar with the light and heavy weapons on the dragon boat as soon as possible, especially the heavy forts and machine gun towers installed on the dragon boat. In the subsequent battles, most of the newly joined fighters will be in charge of these firepower points.

Front-line hand-to-hand combat is the job of armored fighters.

The scout airship descended from the sky.

The hatch opened, and the moment Yan Jing walked out, voices from all directions filled his ears.

The rhythmic buzzing of machines, the shouts of soldiers explaining the characteristics of their equipment, and the sounds made by workers when they are working. The combination of all kinds of sounds should make people feel noisy.

At this time, Yan Jing's expression suddenly calmed down.

The boredom of thinking about how to break through the airport along the way also dissipated at this moment.

Because he heard the roar from the seven flying dragon boats, the smoke from the energy burning seemed to be the airflow exhaled by the seven giant dragons, they had been dormant for a long time, and they couldn't wait to take off.

Make the strongest voice of this era!

Standing on the deck and watching for a while, the news of the reconnaissance airship's return was immediately conveyed to the leaders of the air dragon boats.

Just like last night's meeting, everyone gathered in the lighthouse hall again.

Yan Jing noticed that the emotions of Fu Shudao and others were high, and their faces were full of excitement.

"It seems that the preparations for the first phase are going well?"

Yan Jing also felt refreshed by the scene she saw just now, and asked with a smile on her face.

"Yes, the large amount of resources you brought and the dinner last night far exceeded expectations. Not today alone, it should be said that so far, the number of settlement personnel we have received is close to 500, and this The numbers keep going up!"

Holding the report in his hand, the excitement in Fu Shudao's tone was undisguised,
"More importantly, nearly [-]% of these people are young and middle-aged men and women, and most of the remaining [-]% are infants and young children. The former can immediately enter various departments of the expedition fleet to play a role, and the latter is the hope for the future!"

You must know that the number of boat people on the Xuntian is only over 1000, and because of past disasters, the birth rate of newborns is even lower to an exaggerated level.

To put it bluntly, if Yan Jing hadn't appeared, in a few years after the empty dragon boat, there might not even be enough people to sail the boat.

The number of 500 people may sound nothing at first glance, but this is only the first day, and the settlement work has just begun. As the expeditionary fleet continues to grow and more people join the settlement, the speed of news spread will continue to increase.

Many settlements that were originally on the sidelines will also gradually change their positions when they see the growing strength of the expedition fleet.

Everyone knows the danger of the Great Expedition, and there are always people who want to wait and see to save their lives.

But when most of the settlements choose to join, the remaining ones have to start thinking about two issues.

That is, once the great expedition that absorbed a large number of people fails, the remaining settlements, if there is no flying dragon boat to attract the attention of evil spirits and monsters, can they still maintain their lives today?
Taking a step back, the Great Crusade truly succeeded.

So at this moment of waiting and watching, what is the exchange, will there be a place for them in the airport?

At that time, the members of the settlement watched the boat people of the expedition fleet enter the airport openly and aboveboard, and had a beautiful home that could be protected by the domain gate. Who should bear the resentment caused by the psychological gap?

This is why Fu Shudao was excited!

Once the wave of settlement attachment is set off, there will only be more people coming!
"Everyone did a good job. Huh~ It's just that at this juncture, I have to say some not-so-good information, that is, the information obtained from today's reconnaissance. The situation near the airport is even worse than we imagined."

He took out his glasses, placed them on the table, and the detection balls flew out from the frames on both sides, and began to play various pictures taken during the day, and the first ones to come out were naturally the group of weirdos.

This time, not only the scouts, but even the leaders of the flying dragon boats straightened up in amazement.

Taking out two temporarily sealed weirdos from the Kunpeng space, as well as a metal cylinder containing a human brain, Yan Jing glanced at everyone present one by one, and asked straightforwardly,
"I suspect that this group was created by the evil spirits in the airport. Have you encountered similar existences before?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally Fu Shudao gave the answer,
"No, before, whether it was the beast tide caused by the dark disaster or our actions on various floating islands, we have encountered all kinds of monsters, but none of these guys in the video have even learned to use human's weapons. Tools, and flesh balloons that seem to be used for reconnaissance, this is simply unbelievable!"

This answer was within Yan Jing's expectations, but it also made his expression a little more serious.

"According to my observations, there is a connection between the group of strange people and the evil spirits in the airport. Coupled with the detection of the blood balloon, such a big move on our side may have been noticed."

While speaking, Yan Jing turned his attention to the scouts next to him.

The latter understood immediately, took out the data collected along the way, and continued,

"Through the analysis of the evil energy concentration data in the environment, it can be seen that the evil energy in the airport and its peripheral defense lines is constantly rising, and the number and strength of evil spirits and monsters continue to increase."

What the torch can do is to use the original power of this world to prevent higher-level evil spirits from descending, but it cannot prevent those low-level evil spirits from descending through the cracks in different spaces.

"We don't have that much time to prepare, now is the time to race against time."

Yan Jing stood up, looked at everyone present, and said in a deep voice,
"Three days, we will set off in three days, and tell all the settlements that have not responded, if they are willing to go to the battlefield with us, then come to Lighthouse Island as soon as possible!"
