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

Chapter 631 Purpose
Pei Xianjue was shocked upon hearing this, "What did you say? What musical note?"

“It’s… musical notes of various colors, red, purple, blue,” Huangfu Miaomiao said in surprise, “It must be some kind of card’s area-of-effect skill, it’s really flashy.”

Baozi's expression was grave as he stared at the rain-soaked curtain ahead. "I didn't see any musical notes, but I saw a tremendous hatred ahead. It seems our guess was right; there really is an alien species causing trouble, and the refugees have been manipulated! Our soldiers' morale has also been affected!"

"So, the other party possesses cards that can manipulate emotions?" Pei Xianjue frowned. "This should fall under the category of mental abilities."

Baozi nodded, "We need to find more volunteers who possess mental health cards. I can't calm so many people down with my own abilities."

Pei Xianjue immediately made phone calls to various departments to request personnel.

Spirit-type cards are already rare, and volunteers who possess such cards are even scarcer; there are hardly any suitable candidates to be found in the entire quarantine zone.

If the weather were right, using drones to release anesthetic spray would be an option, but this downpour came at the worst possible time.

Pei Xianjue anxiously made phone calls in the car, trying to contact various people.

Huangfu Miaomiao gave her a suggestion: "Since the other party is using music to manipulate emotions, shouldn't we also be able to use music to interfere? Why don't we find a few speakers and play music towards those refugees? A loudspeaker should also work."

Pei Xianjue was taken aback. "...Will this work?"

What kind of unorthodox methods or tricks?

Huangfu Miaomiao asked her innocently, "Is that not allowed? I thought if the other party was using music to control people, we could just make a louder noise to drown out the music."

After thinking for a moment, Baozi said to Pei Xianjue, "Give it a try, I think it can work."

Pei Xianjue turned to her subordinate on the phone and said, "Get me several of the loudest speakers and send them to the construction site! Also, arrange for at least five hundred drones, equipped with loudspeakers, to create a sound jam against the refugees! ...You ask what music to play? Don't you have any sense? Of course, it has to be the most penetrating music! Hurry up, the longer it goes on, the more refugees will die!"

The convoy stopped, and the driver asked, "General, shall we continue?"

The group had reached the perimeter fence; to continue forward, they would have to cross it and face the out-of-control refugee tide.

"Keep going!" Pei Xianjue said decisively. "In this critical moment, I must stand with everyone! I would risk my life for the country, and not avoid danger for personal gain!"

Pei Xianjue's accompanying secretary silently took out a small notebook and wrote down Pei's sayings.

steamed stuffed bun:"…………"

Huangfu Miaomiao: "…………"

"What's with those expressions on your faces?!" Pei Xianjue was displeased. "Miaomiao, stay in the car and don't go anywhere. Baozi, take two carloads of people to the construction site to provide support. The rest of you, continue traveling with the car in case of any emergencies."

"Yes, ma'am." Baozi chuckled awkwardly, put on his raincoat, and got off the bus.

Pei Xianjue's convoy split into two. Baozi led two vehicles and quickly headed to the construction site, while the other vehicles followed behind, maintaining a safe distance.

The rain was pouring down, and apart from the car headlights that flickered on and off, everything around us was shrouded in darkness.

Huangfu Miaomiao gazed thoughtfully at the dark sky, "This rain seems a bit unusual..."

Pei Xianjue asked anxiously, "My little darling, what did you see again?" "I didn't see anything, I just felt..." Huangfu Miaomiao tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Never mind, maybe I'm wrong. I'll use my all-knowing eye to take another look for you."

Huangfu Miaomiao cheered herself up and said while using her skill, "The Meteor card is really useful; it lets you see very, very far away!"

Pei Xianjue stood anxiously to the side, asking, "How is it? Did you see anything?"

“So many musical notes… here, there, all of them…” Huangfu Miaomiao couldn’t help but sigh softly, “There are just too many musical notes.”

“That’s the direction of the refugee settlement,” Pei Xianjue said with a headache. “The person who planned all this might be hiding in the refugee settlement.”

She immediately notified Baozi to be vigilant about the influx of infected people from the refugee settlement, and then arranged for a team to go to the refugee settlement to intercept them and prevent them from continuing to flow into the array construction site. A batch of drones were also to be sent there.

Just when things were at their most chaotic, more news arrived:
"A suspicious person was captured on drone footage, heading northwest of the quarantine zone, and has now disappeared..."

Due to the weather, in order to ensure flight safety, the drones sent out today flew at relatively low altitudes, and the visibility of various monitoring points in the quarantine area was also affected by the heavy rain, so the poet was not spotted immediately.

Pei Xianjue turned on the footage captured by the drone, and Huangfu Miaomiao curiously came over to take a look.

In the video, a figure is seen walking in the air, but is quickly obscured by tall, lush trees and disappears without a trace.

"Wow, this person can actually fly!" Huangfu Miaomiao exclaimed in amazement.

Pei Xianjue rewound the progress bar, paused, and zoomed in, "...It's not flying, it's walking a tightrope."

She sensed something was wrong, switched the interface to the city map, and frowned. "This direction isn't the refugee settlement area. They've gone into the city. Could there be another alien group there?"

Pei Xianjue couldn't help but make this guess, because she found it hard to imagine that such a huge mess could have been orchestrated by one person.

"Keep the drones searching, restore power to the areas without electricity as soon as possible, and restore lighting!" Pei Xianjue directed over the phone, then ordered the driver in front, "Return to the quarantine zone. I will personally conduct the search operation. Also, notify the station, warehouse, and the apartments where the personnel involved in the Iron Curtain Project live to report to me on the security situation every ten minutes."

The station is a transportation hub, the warehouse contains the most important supplies, and the Iron Curtain Engineer is Pei Xianjue's most valued talent. In her mind, the importance of these three places outweighs everything else, so only the guards of these three places in the entire quarantine zone have not been transferred.

At this moment, Pei Xianjue was in an armored vehicle with four bodyguards, and there were more than twenty excellent hunters in the four accompanying vehicles. With the weapons and ammunition in the vehicles, capturing ordinary alien gangs would be a piece of cake.

The prerequisite is that she needs to know where the alien species is hiding.

Pei Xianjue received reports from the station, the warehouse, and the security team responsible for the engineers' apartments, all of which were safe and sound.

Pei Xianjue breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still in suspense.

She breathed a sigh of relief because the place she valued most was safe, but she was also worried because she didn't know what the alien species' purpose was.

Huangfu Miaomiao comforted her: "Most players are not cunning, don't worry. What you just said about transportation hubs and supplies, players don't understand. Killing people indiscriminately on the street is more in line with the players' style."

Pei Xianjue's expression was grim. "A mutant that can gather so many refugees, I don't think its purpose is as simple as indiscriminate killing..."

Huangfu Miaomiao said very generously, "Don't worry, let me use my all-seeing eye to take another look. This card can see very far, maybe it can find the player who is walking the tightrope."
