Chapter 339: Chapter 2: Meeting Li Chang’an_3
The corpses of the flying insects have gone through multiple mutations, carrying unknown pollutants. If they fall into the water, the base can’t even guarantee that it can completely eradicate the virus, nor clear it before the water is needed.
Because to pick up the planting plan, large-scale use of water is unavoidable. Once contaminated water infects crops, the whole country will be affected.
Unfortunately, every dormant nest is located at the water sources, nationwide. It’s exactly because of this that the country has remained inactive even though its combat power hasn’t significantly diminished.
The characteristics of the flying insects are quite peculiar.
They are highly polluting, humans cannot touch them, they eat everything but do not eat living organisms. Their most formidable ability is that they can reproduce while feeding, multiplying in numbers every time they move.
Moreover, they never operate alone.
Someone from the military volunteered to use bait to attract them outside their nest, but was met with a cloud of darkness; the seasoned warrior barely had time to raise his weapon before the bait was completely devoured in one breath.
And only they failed to find any opportunity to attack.
Due to the above various difficulties, even in the third year after the disaster, the matter still requires careful deployment.
...
Facing the issue of the underground water source, Li Chang’an calmly said: "Spiritual Shield, you are currently the only one at the base with a similar defensive ability, all other defensive abilities have physical forms and will be consumed by the flying insects."
"Therefore, in the next 90 days, you must train your ability to be sufficient to cover the range of an underground water source and withstand a certain level of artillery attack."
"Since the underground water source is still undeveloped, it shouldn’t be too large, right?"
Chu River pondered – 3S Spirit, according to current basic firepower defenses, when energy is spread out, the diameter can reach 381 meters.
After all, in interstellar battles, any mecha is comparable to a skyscraper, if the spiritual power coverage isn’t wide, it offers no advantage against high-level combat with the Insect Race.
"Within a diameter of 381 meters, I can do it!"
Her response was resolute and decisive.
...
The diameter truly exceeded Li Chang’an’s expectations, yet also made him happier. With such a large range, artillery attacks can be more free, significantly increasing the chances of eradicating the flying insects!
He nodded: "Then, if you are willing to contribute your strength to the base, I will provide you with top-notch reward guarantees, and you can go to the training ground for basic testing and adjustment."
Chu River nodded: "Alright—when do we start the operation?"
This question is of course about eradicating the flying insects, and Li Chang’an also responded decisively: "Three months later."
He suddenly realized he trusted the data given by Chu River far too much.
Li Chang’an calmly thought—pondering over the future of the entire nation, in fact, he has been a bit too hasty.
However, specific data can be adjusted after measurements, but three months later, they must launch an attack regardless.
Before this winter, the flying insect menace absolutely cannot remain!
...
Chu River went to the troops to hone combat power, while Li Chang’an sat in his chair, rubbing his forehead, and glanced again at the densely packed screens on the wall, quickly organizing the information he didn’t receive moments before.
Once the massive influx of information was processed, he pressed the intercom: "I remember there’s another water ability that provides three liters per day."
The assistant quickly nodded: "Yes, but the person... hasn’t arrived yet."
...
Every second of Mr. Li’s time is precious, although the person hasn’t arrived, he didn’t say anything to the assistant, yet the assistant was still anxious, having pinged the regional survivor reception countless times.
Unluckily, the city is not big, but finding someone is indeed difficult.
The assistant looked at the time—on a shared bicycle, half an hour seemed reasonable, they should be arriving soon.
Indeed, pretty quick.
Song You arrived in a full 45 minutes, also something the assistant didn’t foresee.
—How inefficient can one be!
The middle-aged assistant almost burst into tears.
...
A person’s mental state and attitude towards matters can greatly reflect their inner subconscious.
When Chu River entered, Li Chang’an noticed her sitting posture was straight, though her words were blunt, every sentence went straight to the point, questions were raised candidly, without evasion, showing high efficiency.
It’s also the type he appreciates the most, his inexplicable trust likely comes largely from this.
