It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 438 Underground
Feng Ling adjusted the headset and said, "Sir, four Gelulu hunters were spotted here. The locusts hid on the other side of the border and seem to be causing trouble on the other side."

Although the country's name was called incorrectly, Huang Yi still understood it.

It is inevitable that the locusts will retreat. The original plan was to force the locust swarms back while continuously reducing their numbers until they return to the maze, and then catch them all in one fell swoop to completely eliminate the source of the locust plague.

"Keep going." Huang Yi replied, "The Eshia military will send someone over to negotiate."

After hearing this, Feng Ling no longer paid attention to the opposite side and continued to kill locusts.

However, she released her mental pressure and suppressed the nearby locusts to the best of her ability to prevent more locusts from escaping.

Leland retreated away from her mental force field, which gave Feng Ling some peace of mind.

Not long after, a jeep from the Eshia Military District staggered through the barbed wire destroyed by locusts and entered the GRU territory.

Then, from Feng Ling's third perspective, the four blue dots gradually moved away and disappeared into the valley one after another.

Although still within the third-person perspective, the blue dot disappeared. Feng Ling couldn't help but think of the swamp monster in the Lorias maze, with the huge red dot appearing and disappearing from time to time.

The third perspective cannot observe the underground. There is probably a cave in the valley. Those hunters entered the cave, so they disappeared from the third perspective. After all, the probability of four people having the ability to be invisible at the same time is too low.

Feng Ling was puzzled and muttered to himself: "Why can the life forms inside the building be displayed in the third-person perspective, but those underground cannot? Is it because the roof is too thin? What is the principle behind this..."

But if thickness is taken into consideration, the central building has 120 floors and there are so many reinforced concrete. She can still see the red dot representing Ye Zheng in the third person perspective, so it should have nothing to do with thickness, right?

Feng Ling was a little bit bothered.

There is a subtle sense of awareness of the shortcomings of one's own abilities.

After the sun set, the day's operations came to an end. The hunters returned to the tents to rest, while the soldiers put on protective clothing and began to deal with the locust remains scattered all over the ground.

Feng Ling felt it was too stuffy in the tent, so he rested in the truck for the past two days.

In the evening, Huang Yi came to see her with his secretary.

"Feng Ling, I'm afraid we'll need your help in tomorrow's operation." Huang Yi got straight to the point. "I told you before that you can act freely, but we don't have enough people with mental coercion. After we enter the GRU tomorrow, we'll need you to guard the entrance to the valley to prevent locusts from getting in. According to the information provided by the local hunters of the GRU, there are many uninfected residents in the valley."

"Of course~" Feng Ling replied generously, "I still have two contaminated bodies with mental force fields. If needed, I can assign tasks to them."

Huang Yi's usually stern face showed a faint smile, "That would be great."

"Why haven't those residents been infected?" Feng Ling asked curiously, "Have they undergone a physical examination? Could it be that they have been infected but didn't know it?"

The valley was located on the path that the locust swarms must take to spread to Eshia, and the land along the way was polluted, so Feng Ling never expected that there would be survivors here besides the hunters.

Huang Yi explained: "There is no condition to do a physical examination on these people at present, so I can't be completely sure. The GRU hunters said that they are workers and their families in the local mine. They have been hiding deep in the mine since the locust plague. The pollution brought by the locusts seems to remain only on the surface and has not penetrated into the underground, so these people are safe for the time being."

Feng Ling asked: "Will Eshia accept these refugees?"

Huang Yi fell silent for a long time and then slowly shook his head, "I'm afraid it's difficult."

"Ah..." Feng Ling tilted his head and thought for a while, "What a pity."

If these people are not transferred to a safe area in time, something bad will happen sooner or later, because people cannot live underground for a long time without sunlight. Huang Yi said: "Tomorrow I will send a batch of protective clothing from the UN relief supplies, and give the local hunters some daily necessities and self-defense weapons. When the locust plague is over and the pollution disappears, people will be able to leave the mine and live outside."

"Wait for the pollution to disappear?" Feng Ling frowned, "That will take a long time."

Li Qing once said that it might take a few years or even decades to fully restore polluted land.

Huang Yi was also helpless about this. "The ideal situation is to let these workers wear protective clothing and then move to places where the GRU has not been contaminated, but this requires the use of pollution source survey technology. At present, our country's survey technology is the most advanced. If this technology is to be used, the personnel and equipment involved need to apply for it... So, no matter what, these workers will have to endure for a while."

"Oh, it's so complicated..." Feng Ling sighed.

"In short, what the rescue team can do now is to control the locust plague as soon as possible and prevent it from spreading." Huang Yi said in a deep voice, "Have a good rest. I'll leave the valley to you tomorrow."

"Don't worry." Feng Ling smiled at him.

Huang Yi led his secretary away and headed towards the army, probably to coordinate the withdrawal of supplies.

Feng Ling watched him walk away, thought for a moment, and then turned his gaze towards the direction of the valley.

Under the night sky, the valley was pitch black, with no lights to be seen, let alone any signs of human habitation.

But Feng Ling knew that her guess was correct. There was indeed a cave there, but she couldn't see it because people were moving underground.

Perhaps because the night was too quiet, a uniform chorus could be heard faintly from the direction of the valley.

The lyrics are naturally incomprehensible, and the melody is simple, somewhere between chanting and singing, with the same melody repeated over and over again.

After listening to it for a long time, I felt surprisingly peaceful.

Feng Ling wondered if people living in caves were finding peace in this way, otherwise how could they endure a life without sunlight.

She closed her eyes and sought sleep in the song.

Li Qing came over and said to her: "There's new progress over at Miaomiao."

"What progress?" Feng Ling asked with his eyes closed.

"We found a human named Blind Man. He has a close relationship with the Star Society. She said he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him. Fortunately, he seemed to have lost his memory, so he shouldn't interfere with her actions."

Li Qing hesitated for a while, then continued: "It may be difficult to find clues just by forming a team. I want her to follow this blind man and find out the exact location of the Star Society, especially the administrators, but I am worried..."

"Are you worried that she will be discovered?" Feng Ling lifted her eyelids and looked at him.

Li Qing looked at her in silence.

He wanted to take a chance, but wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do.

"You also said before that there are players with various abilities gathered in the paradise. It would be too easy to be discovered if the little skeleton were to go find the lair of the Star Society." Feng Ling looked up at the night sky and sighed faintly, "It would be great if we could start from underground. I think most of the exploration capabilities are limited to the ground."

If the plot can’t be pushed forward…it will seem watery…tomorrow, I must push it forward tomorrow!!!
