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

Chapter 645 Retreat
It was getting late, so Feng Ling decided to stay overnight at the abandoned farm.

Firstly, the helicopter needs to find a place to refuel; secondly, resting for the night is a good opportunity to wait for kites, cat spiders, and big insects.

Space was limited in the cabin, so Fengling only brought the third one and the newly hatched Flower Crown Fairy, while the rest of the pollutants were carried on the kite's back and flown slowly together.

She doesn't plan to incubate any new nestlings anytime soon. Unless things stabilize, it's too troublesome to move them around, and she's worried about leaving them unattended. If these little creatures are allowed to act alone, they might harm humans over time without the constraints of the nest, especially the ones that aren't very bright.

Feng Ling came out of the tent to admire the fruits of her and Ye Zheng's labor.

The burning granary resembled a giant fireball on the horizon, billowing black smoke rising continuously, and the air was filled with the smell of burning. The crows, feeling the fire wasn't burning bright enough, eagerly gathered corn stalks and threw them into the flames.

The two pilots left the helicopter cabin and walked over awkwardly.

"Sister Ling, the captain said we can only take you to the port of Bolz, and then we have to go back."

"The captain received orders from his superiors that the entire international security team must return to provide reinforcements."

"The research institute detected several areas that resembled mazes. Due to a shortage of manpower in China, the international aid operation had to be suspended."

“We have coastal protection to the east and south, and the pollution to the north is being controlled by the Kingdom of Lorias. The western buffer zone is not yet completed, and the Kingdom of Mogu to the west has been completely occupied. If new pollution spreads from the west into the country, our country will essentially have no buffer zone.”

"The captain said that although we are going to retreat, Sister Ling can make any requests regarding weapons and ammunition."

"The captain told you to be careful. There's also unusually heavy rain on the other side of the sea."

The two of them took turns explaining what Huang Yi had told them, covering most of the details.

After listening to the conversation, Feng Ling nodded, "Alright, then be careful on your way back, and try to avoid those thunderclouds to avoid accidentally entering the maze."

The two nodded in agreement, then chuckled and asked Feng Ling to sign their team uniforms, saying it would bring them good luck.

Feng Ling was embarrassed for once, because her handwriting was really not good.

However, he still wrote his name in a flamboyant and elegant style.

After the two drivers left, Ye Zheng came over and asked what they had been doing.

"Huang Yi's men are retreating; the quarantine area needs help." Feng Ling sighed. "It seems like everyone will soon be overwhelmed with their own problems."

Ye Zheng paused for a moment, then said, "The Molan River serves as a natural protective barrier outside the quarantine zone, so it's relatively safe. To the northwest, there are large areas of high-altitude uninhabited land, which can act as a buffer zone against pollution. The only thing to worry about is those flying pollutants; they can easily break through the quarantine line..."

"There shouldn't be another locust plague, right?" Feng Ling thought for a moment, then asked her, "Do you want to go back and help?"

Ye Zheng frowned and looked at Feng Ling, "I need to keep an eye on you. Advancing to the Abyss Body is our top priority right now. Only by becoming strong enough can we completely suppress those restless players. As for the quarantine zone..."

Ye Zheng lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I can't be of any help anymore."

Feng Ling shifted her gaze to the burning granary in the distance. The fire was subsiding, but the smoke was thicker, much like the situation she was facing now. The enemy was clearly no match for her, but the chaos in the world was still gradually expanding.

She said softly, "I really need to advance as soon as possible, otherwise I'll always have some worries and strange feelings that make me very uncomfortable."

Ye Zheng immediately became alert and asked, "You're having that kind of feeling again?"

"Hmm, two or three times... Each time it only lasted for about half a minute before disappearing." Feng Ling rested her chin on her hand, feeling puzzled. "There are only a few alien species that know the location of the Abyss Mother Nest. The reincarnated Demon King is most likely in their hands. I don't know what they're doing inside. The maze entrance keeps opening and closing. Hey, Daoist, do you know..." She turned to look for the Green Weasel and found that it was asleep again.

I'm sleeping more and more these days.

Feng Ling did not wake it.

The night passed peacefully...

……

As dawn broke, the kite, carrying the cat-spider and the big insect, slowly arrived.

Along with the kite arrived the local army. To thank Fengling for clearing the monsters from the farm, the soldiers and civilians prepared flowers and gifts.

The gifts were very practical, including gold and gemstones, national honor medals, and local handicrafts, etc. It felt like they had gone to great lengths, but they were all things Feng Ling didn't need.

Feng Ling refused to accept gifts, which embarrassed the officials in charge of receiving her. They had originally wanted to ask Feng Ling for help in eliminating another source of pollution.

The diplomat tried his best to ignore the huge cat-faced spider standing behind Feng Ling and stammered out his intentions.

After understanding, Feng Ling nodded, "Okay, I understand."

The diplomats were unsure whether this "understanding" meant willingness to help or unwillingness. Previously, when Lorias invited foreign aid, they had leased mining rights for over a decade, but there were no mines here…

"Our country has abundant fishery resources, especially known for species such as sardines, cod, and monkfish..." the diplomat enthusiastically introduced, although he thought that the world's top hunter probably wouldn't be interested in fishing, but what if he was?
Feng Ling waved her hand and replied, "No need."

really……

The diplomat began wiping his sweat and asked cautiously, "So, do you have any needs? If you're willing to help, we'll do our best to meet your requirements."

“What I mean is, you don’t need to do anything,” Feng Ling said. “It’s just something you can do along the way.”

This was indeed convenient for her.

She sat on the back of the kite without even getting off. All she had to do was release her pressure, and the polluted creatures froze like mice before a cat, letting the human-faced crows swarm up and suck the energy from her flesh and blood.

Her "children" were starving and devoured all the contaminants in a whirlwind. The cat spider managed to pick up two or three contaminants whenever it could get a bite, while the kite, being rather clumsy, didn't even get a chance to get a single one.

After a brief operation that barely qualifyed as a battle, Feng Ling continued moving in the direction she sensed.

While passing through the port of Bolz, she received a call from Huang Yi.

"Feng Ling, you'll have to walk this path yourselves from now on," Huang Yi said on the phone.

"Okay, see you later." Feng Ling remained relaxed.

On the horizon, the sun is just rising on one side, and the morning stars are sparse on the other, while the night has not yet departed.

A pure white kite carried them, facing the sea breeze, and plunged headlong into that unknown darkness.
