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

Chapter 643 I Really Want to Cry

The matter has finally come to an end, but the torrential rain that has lasted for several days still hasn't stopped.

After resettling the refugees, Pei Xianjue began dealing with the urban flooding caused by the torrential rain. The engineering department also provided a new construction plan, and she was overwhelmed with calls.

Huangfu Miaomiao and Feng Ling had agreed to have a video call every day, but due to heavy rain, power outages, and the refugee crisis, it was postponed by one day.

When the video call connected, Pei Xianjue hadn't finished her work yet, so she could only glance at the report and chat with Feng Ling briefly whenever she could.

It was mainly Huangfu Miaomiao who was doing the talking.

“I drink bird’s nest in the morning and chicken soup at night. I eat five meals a day and have successfully gained 16 pounds. Xiaoyu even gave me a ginseng root. I’m full of energy now and I feel great every day! ... Feng Ling, when are you coming to pick me up? You’ve already wiped out the Star Society. What are you still doing outside?” Huangfu Miaomiao asked awkwardly.

“Didn’t I already say I was going to advance to the Abyss Body?” Feng Ling lay in the plane, munching on an apple, crunching away the core as she went. “Besides, you eat five meals a day, I can’t afford to feed you. You should stick with Miss Pei.”

Huangfu Miaomiao pouted unhappily, but she wasn't angry. She knew Feng Ling was teasing her again.

Sure enough, in the video, Feng Ling turned to Ye Zheng and said, "If I take a screenshot now and post it online, so that Meteor can see her pouting face online, do you think Meteor will be so ashamed that she'll want to disappear and then she'll go offline in a fit of anger?"

Ye Zheng replied expressionlessly, "Then give it a try."

"This joke isn't funny at all! If she goes offline, I won't be able to switch back to my original body!" Huangfu Miaomiao exclaimed.

"Alright, don't rush me. I've already found a clue to advance. Once I advance, I'll come back to pick you up and take care of the body swapping between you two while I'm at it," Feng Ling said.

"What clue?" Huangfu Miaomiao asked.

“A clue to the Abyss Mother Nest.” Ye Zheng leaned over and said, “Feng Ling sensed the existence of the Abyss Maze yesterday. Although we don’t know the exact location yet, we can roughly determine the direction. We borrowed a plane from Huang Yi and searched along that direction. If we can get to the vicinity of the maze, Feng Ling’s senses may become more obvious.”

Feng Ling followed up, saying, "Huang Yi is so stingy. He only allowed me to fly to England, and then the plane and the pilot had to return."

"Why?" Huangfu Miaomiao asked, her eyes wide.

Ye Zheng casually remarked, "Because once you cross England, you'll be in the Atlantic Ocean, and helicopters don't have enough fuel to cross it."

"So how do you plan to get across? Can a kite fly across the Atlantic?" Huangfu Miaomiao asked worriedly. "What if it falls into the sea halfway across?"

Feng Ling replied nonchalantly, "Just drift over there. Didn't you also drift to the quarantine zone from the sea?"

Huangfu Miaomiao pouted fiercely, "This is such a ridiculous joke."

"Alright, stop teasing her." Ye Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and said to Huangfu Miaomiao, "Huang Yi originally wanted to help us contact Yinglan's airline, but the weather has been bad recently. Many coastal cities have experienced torrential rains, making it unsuitable for takeoff. Moreover, those guys from the Yinglan Knights are particularly inquisitive, asking all sorts of questions, which is very annoying. So we plan to have the kite fly around. As long as the kite doesn't use the fire-breathing trick, it can stay in the air for half a month with its endurance."

Huangfu Miaomiao nodded repeatedly, "It's pouring rain here too."

"Miaomiao, there's something we'd like to discuss with you." Ye Zheng's expression became more serious.

"Huh?" Huangfu Miaomiao looked bewildered. "What's wrong?"

Ye Zheng and Feng Ling exchanged glances. "Should you speak or should I?"

“Let me explain.” Feng Ling cleared his throat, looked at Huangfu Miaomiao in the video, and said seriously, “The bishop of the Star Society, Dwarf Sheep, reincarnated a few days ago. Most of the Star Society’s aliens are dead, and there are probably only a few vessels left. So if Dwarf Sheep dies again, he will likely be reincarnated into Meteor’s body, which is your current body.” Huangfu Miaomiao stared blankly at Feng Ling, her face gradually turning pale.

Ye Zheng was speechless. "Aren't you going to lay the groundwork with a few words first?"

Feng Ling was puzzled. "Wasn't this all just setup? I haven't even gotten to the main point yet."

Ye Zheng sighed, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Alright, let's get to the point."

Feng Ling continued to say to Huangfu Miaomiao, "When I go to find the Abyss Mother Nest this time, I might encounter a meteor. If we really start fighting, I won't be able to hold back too much. It would be bad if I accidentally killed the dwarf sheep again. So, in order to ensure your safety, we have come up with a plan."

Huangfu Miaomiao felt her brain buzzing, and she had to concentrate very hard to hear Feng Ling's voice. At this moment, she was filled with a thousand regrets, hating herself for trusting Liu Xing and agreeing to exchange bodies with him.

But back then, did I have any other path to take besides this one?

"Miaomiao? Little Skeleton? Are you listening?" Feng Ling called out twice.

Huangfu Miaomiao looked at Feng Ling with a pale face, "I'm listening..."

“Meteor is also concerned about its own body and won’t let the dwarf sheep die easily. You don’t need to be too nervous. We decided to do this just in case.” Feng Ling’s tone was as relaxed as ever.

"What should I do?" Huangfu Miaomiao asked, bewildered.

Feng Ling said in a serious tone, "We found a rare item in the desert maze before. I think it's called a crystal coffin. As long as you lie in it, no matter how serious the injury is, it will stop worsening. The side effect is that you will fall into a state of suspended animation and lose consciousness. Isn't this perfect? ​​As long as you 'die,' the system might be able to determine that the reincarnation container is invalid."

After saying that, Feng Ling comforted her, "Don't worry, it's just lying on a plank. We'll wake you up from the coffin once the crisis is over."

Huangfu Miaomiao felt no joy at escaping; instead, she felt a strong sense of absurdity.

She really wanted to cry!

She ran away to avoid being laid on a plank, but after all that, she still ended up being laid on a plank!

Pei Xianjue had been keeping an eye on the chat progress, and leaned closer to the screen to ask, "Where is that rare item now?"

“It was originally intended to be shipped back to China by Huang Yi, but it was delayed. It shouldn’t be a problem for us to borrow it,” Feng Ling replied.

Pei Xianjue nodded, "Okay, I'll contact Huang Yi later to coordinate the transportation schedule. The weather here in the quarantine area hasn't been good lately, let me check the weather forecast."

Feng Ling breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll leave it to you."

She hates worrying about these things, like travel dates and handover procedures—they're all so troublesome.

Ye Zheng frowned. "What's wrong with the weather lately? It's pouring rain everywhere."

Just as he finished speaking, Pei Xianjue's phone suddenly rang.

Pei Xianjue immediately answered the phone. They didn't know what was said on the other end, but Feng Ling and Ye Zheng saw Pei Xianjue's expression change drastically, and the documents and reports in his hands fell to the ground.
