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

Chapter 532 A big worry
Every country facing the spread of pollution needs a buffer zone. This involves creating large open areas through artificial means, such as bombardment and disinfection, and then erecting high walls and protective nets to block all pollutants from entering the country.

The maintenance cost of the isolation zone is extremely high. It requires not only 24-hour uninterrupted patrols by the military, but also continuous investment in military equipment and weapons. Drone patrol systems are also indispensable.

The group hurried to the conference room, where the general's subordinates transmitted the footage captured by the drone to the conference room's display screen in real time.

In the image, a creature resembling a manta ray is suspended in the air.

“The hidden boss…it’s huge…” The general’s scalp tingled. “With such a size, it would probably take bombs to kill it.”

The officer next to him glanced at the general, gripped the remote control, and silently zoomed in on the video.

There was a person sitting on the monster's back.

The general awkwardly stroked his chin. "Oh...it seems the person sitting up there is the hidden boss..."

The bishop stared at the video screen, his face grim. "Her body has not undergone any deformities, which means the contamination level is no more than 50%. The squirrel has failed."

Seeing that the bishop was in a bad mood, the general silently took a step back towards the witch.

The witch frowned as she watched the video and muttered, "Is she really the Abyss? Could Meteor be trying to trick us?"

Upon hearing this, the general asked curiously, "That's right, you participated in that expedition back then, so you should have seen the Abyss Boss. What does the Abyss Boss look like?"

“Never seen it before.” The witch glanced at him. “Meteor devised the battle plan. The eight of us were divided into three groups. The doctor and I were in one group, responsible for luring the monsters on the periphery into the trap and creating opportunities for the main attackers to launch an attack.”

"Only four people have seen the Abyss Boss: Meteor, Black Spot, Blacksmith, and Drunkard," the messenger said from the side. "During that raid, Blacksmith died, and Drunkard logged off, so now, apart from Meteor, no one else can confirm that the hidden Boss is the Abyss."

The general asked doubtfully, "What about the black spots you mentioned earlier?"

The witch chuckled but said nothing.

The general grew increasingly suspicious, feeling as if he had stumbled upon the group's secrets, but since he had already asked the question, he could only pretend to be nonchalant. "...I was just thinking that if we could gather the old team together, maybe we could find a way to kill the Abyss Boss again."

The messenger spoke calmly: "It's probably impossible to assemble the team. After Black Spot killed the Abyss Boss, his corruption level increased due to digesting the cards, causing him to go berserk and suddenly attack his teammates. That's why the blacksmith died in the maze."

The witch sighed softly, "If Blackspot were still alive, we might actually be able to kill Abyss again. He's the most powerful player I've ever seen. Meteor is just a little clever at best."

The bishop looked over with hostility. "I don't care who the strongest player is. I just want to know how you plan to deal with the hidden boss!"

A brief silence fell over the room.

The general looked left and right, and tentatively spoke: "How about... we just bombard it with artillery shells? No matter how powerful the boss is, he is not invincible. Although it may cause some international disputes, it would be worth it to get rid of such a major threat."

The witch scoffed again.

The general was very disgusted by her attitude, and he kept making smacking noises as if he had a fishbone in his mouth.

However, the bishop's condition was entirely maintained by the witch, so he could only endure it.

“If she really is that Abyss Boss from back then, then simply bombarding her with cannonballs is far from enough,” the messenger said.

The general raised an eyebrow. "It can't be that exaggerated, can it? Can she really withstand cannonballs?" The messenger explained, "The strength of this boss is that she can create respawn points for herself, which we call life pillars. Once the Abyss Boss dies, she will revive in one of the life pillars. So—even if you blow her to pieces with cannonballs now, you won't kill her."

“Back then, during that battle, the doctor and I not only had to lure the monsters, but also destroy the life pillars along the way. You have no idea how troublesome those life pillars were. Not only were there a huge number of them, but countless pollutants also lived nearby, all of which were monsters hatched by the Abyss Boss.” The witch sighed softly. “I remember Meteor encouraged us back then. She said that this Abyss Boss was easy to kill, it just had a lot of health, and we could slowly whittle it down.”

As it turned out, Meteor was right; they did indeed successfully wear down the Abyss.

The messenger paused for a moment, then looked at the bishop. "Based on the existing clues, the hidden boss was born in Qingjiang City, where the Mother Nest Ecological Park is currently under construction. The Life Source Pillar is a very conspicuous and distinctive feature. We can send someone over to confirm it."

The witch thought for a moment and said, "The hidden boss is not the Abyss after all, so there won't be too many Life Source Pillars. If there is only one, we can arrange a group of people near the Life Source Pillar in advance. As long as we succeed here, we can immediately attack the Life Source Pillar there. Maybe we can really succeed."

The general looked troubled upon hearing this. “This is not a good matter… That Mother Nest Ecological Park is very famous. Not only are there guards patrolling there, but inspectors also conduct special training there. They regularly hold international hunter exchange and learning activities. Tourists and reporters all flock there. If we send players to infiltrate there, it will be easy to be exposed.”

The witch, unusually, didn't scoff at him, and echoed, "Indeed, that country has invested heavily in research targeting us players. They recently developed a detector that can distinguish between players and humans, and it's said to be very accurate. It's been reported in the news."

“I don’t care how difficult this is, I just want the result.” The bishop’s face was taut, his gaze sweeping over each of them as he spoke, word by word, “Once I am safely offline, I can guarantee that my family and I will support you for life, provide you with the most comprehensive genetic modification surgery, and an unlimited amount of life points.”

As he spoke, he walked step by step to the messenger, looked up and stared directly into the messenger's eyes.

"Don't keep me waiting too long," the bishop emphasized each word, "...Let's get moving!"

The messenger lowered his head. "Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

……

Outside the safety cordon, Feng Ling sat on a kite, holding up her phone to find a signal.

The drone followed her all the way, repeatedly broadcasting the message, once in Ilanka, once in English, and once in the language of Fengling.

The gist of the statement is that she has violated Ilanka's airspace, breaking international conventions, and if she does not leave, the other side will take military action to expel her.

Feng Ling had no choice but to let the kite drift slowly along the outer edge of the isolation zone.

The call finally connected, and Feng Ling greeted the person on the other end of the phone with a big smile: "Hey~ Lao Su, good morning!"

Su Yuqing paused for two seconds before replying, "...Feng Ling? What's that sound coming from your end?"

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Feng Ling replied. “It’s Ilanka’s drone. They said I’ve violated some airspace and want to kick me out.”

Su Yuqing: "…………"

"Hello? Hello? Hello?" Feng Ling asked in confusion, "No signal again?"

Su Yuqing sighed, "Why do you always cause trouble every time you call me?"

Feng Ling immediately corrected him: "What do you mean by causing big trouble? I haven't done anything yet!"

　It would be quite interesting to write a story from the perspective of the Stars Club, about partners who embark on a journey together, only to fall apart in the end, hahaha!
