Chapter 1598 - 1597: Countermeasures
"There certainly are, we’ve received reports that some countries are also encountering monsters!" Zhang He said.
Ling Feng frowned and said, "So this is a global event then."
"That’s right!"
Zhang He nodded, "Currently, the headquarters is having a meeting to study the extent of how things will develop."
"Then please report for me that I’ve found the source of the monsters; it’s very likely an underground civilization."
Ling Feng said and presented his findings in detail.
After Zhang He listened, he seemed a bit surprised, then seriously said, "This is a significant discovery. I’ll report it immediately!"
Then he hung up the phone.
Ling Feng turned back and saw Chen Hong looking at him, so he said, "Don’t worry, there’ll always be a way to resolve things!"
"You said they might be from underground, right? Then it’s simple, just go to the Underground City and ask those people, isn’t it?" Chen Hong said.
Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, I thought of that too, so next I’ll contact Fei’er and have her go with me."
"I want to go too!" Chen Hong said immediately.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng knew she couldn’t sit still, so he nodded.
Leaving Lin Chen and Lin Yu to assist in installing surveillance equipment, he took Chen Hong and found their car parked by the roadside and returned to the Yinzhou Sub-bureau together.
The journey on the road needs no detailing; after finding Li Fei’er, the three of them teleported directly to the Underground City.
This was Ling Feng’s second visit; after appearing on the Spirit Gathering Tower, he first went to see the baby, finding no change, still the same as before.
Then looking around, he noticed the city had become lively. Except for the area around the Spirit Gathering Tower being prohibited, many subterranean people were active elsewhere.
Following Li Fei’er away from the Spirit Gathering Tower, the group crossed the streets and, after some distance, found the person in charge of the city.
The two sides couldn’t communicate verbally, relying entirely on Li Fei’er for mental communication. Ling Feng described the situation in detail, with Li Fei’er translating to the other party.
After some exchange, Li Fei’er looked a bit peculiar and turned to Ling Feng, saying, "Uncle, he says this matter has nothing to do with the underground people; they are a peace-loving race, never belligerent!"
"Uh, then who could they be?"
Ling Feng didn’t expect this answer, leaving him speechless.
"They’re not humans. From what he means, they’re some kind of evil creatures living tens of kilometers underground; they’ve been harassed by them once too!" Li Fei’er said.
"Then what? How did they solve it?" Ling Feng asked quickly.
"Later, they sealed the passages, and those monsters could no longer enter their world." Li Fei’er said.
"Alright."
Hearing this, Ling Feng suddenly felt very disappointed. This method of sealing passages was clearly unsuitable for surface humans because the outside world is too vast, how could they seal everything?
Each one would be a massive project, not to mention if it’s blocked, who guarantees they won’t emerge from somewhere else?
Left with no choice, Ling Feng left the Underground City and returned to Nine Heavens.
Just as he was preparing to head to the Yinzhou Sub-bureau, Zhang He arrived in a hurry and said, "Just in time, come with me to Longyuan!"
"What’s happening?"
Seeing him urgent, Ling Feng asked quickly.
"You’ll know when we get there, Director Han wants to talk to you!"
Zhang He said, pulling him to teleport away.
Arriving at Longyuan’s conference room, they saw many people already seated inside, including Lin Xue, Zhou Yi, Chen Yan, and others.
Everyone sat upright, looking solemn, and the atmosphere seemed rather tense, making Ling Feng also tense up.
Seeing Han Wancheng on the screen, Ling Feng asked, "Boss, what’s the situation?"
"There’s something I want to discuss with you!"
Han Wancheng said, then continued: "First, have a seat."
Ling Feng pulled over a chair and sat down, somewhat confused, asking, "Why so serious, it’s just some monsters, isn’t it?"
"We suspect more monsters will appear later, and they’ll be fiercer than this time; this first batch is just a probe!"
Han Wancheng said.
"That certainly seems possible!"
Ling Feng nodded, then asked, "So what’s the headquarters’ plan?"
"The meeting just concluded, and I want to discuss with you. Currently, the people around you are at a relatively high level, so we plan to disperse them to various sub-bureaus to assist local operations. If another monster attack occurs, having experts stationed there can prevent a large number of civilian casualties!"
Han Wancheng paused here, "You don’t have any objections, do you?"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was speechless, thinking to himself, if I have objections, can I state them?
With such a significant matter, of course, personal concerns can’t be prioritized, the big picture has to be considered!
So he could only nod, "As long as everyone has no objections, then neither do I!"
"Good, you can create some more Teleportation Arrays, it will facilitate mutual support at the time, and if you need anything, the headquarters will fully support you!" Han Wancheng said.
Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "Materials are temporarily sufficient, but Nine Heavens is almost full, there’s no place to put them!"
"No need to worry about that; Longyuan will specially allocate a place for you, even if you set up a hundred or eighty, it can accommodate them!" Zhang He said.
Ling Feng nodded, "Alright."
Thinking that Nine Heavens might be quite empty in the future, he felt rather downhearted.
But given the current crisis, he could accept this situation.
After all, he could visit each place frequently to check on everyone.
Without speaking further, Han Wancheng continued, "Let it be for now, gather everyone for induction procedures later, and arrange each one’s assignment to different sub-bureaus. Ling Feng, your task is to promptly prepare the Teleportation Arrays."
"Understood."
Then the work began, and Ling Feng followed Zhang He to the third underground level, entering a massive room.
"This is prepared for you; consider this place a transit station then!"
Zhang He said, knowing Ling Feng was not in the best mood, he consoled, "It’s not like you’re parting for life and death, cheer up, Li Shiyun and Little Lian won’t be leaving Nine Heavens, my wife will be there too, they won’t be lonely."
"I know!"
Ling Feng looked at him, "No need to comfort me, go get busy with your work, I’ve got work to do!"
"Alright."
Zhang He didn’t linger, turned, and left.
A day passed with Ling Feng engrossed in work, managing to set up over twenty Teleportation Arrays.
Meanwhile, Ling Yao, Long Xiaoyu, Yu Linglong, An Xue, and others had completed their induction procedures.
With varied levels, the lowest being at Qi Refining Stage, their positions naturally weren’t low.
While Ling Feng was busy, everyone gathered in this space.
