Listening to Jian Ning's explanation, Xiao Lingfeng quickly finished viewing the recording stone. He then took out his phone and recorded it again.

"I'll take the eggs to the base now. Dr. Fu is going to have another headache. When we get back, let's go out and collect more of these eggs to destroy."

"Yes, we'll have to rely on everyone's efforts; one or two people simply can't find them all. But then again, no matter how hard we search, there will always be some who slip through the net."

Moreover, they only control the land; nobody knows how much of this stuff is in the seawater.” Jian Ning wasn’t exaggerating. She was telling the absolute truth.

"I know, let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. Wait for me for half an hour."

Xiao Lingfeng didn't waste any time. He went straight through the wall and flew to the military base on his sword. This time, he went directly to the commander. Of course, Fu Mengfan was also called over to watch the video together.

Both of them were extremely shocked.

This thing looks like the monsters from those post-apocalyptic movies from foreign films.

If it grows into an adult, it would be very difficult to kill. The person wielding the machete must be quite strong to be able to decapitate someone in one go. That's impressive!

"Is he your friend?" The commander was quite interested in the person in the video. If he could come to the army, he would definitely be a great help.

“She’s my friend, but she rarely leaves home; she’s a real homebody.” Xiao Lingfeng knows Jian Ning very well; she’s someone who hates trouble and has her own strong opinions.

She seemed to have no empathy for the world.

Unlike him, for whom serving his country was a childhood dream, and for whom he was willing to sacrifice himself without fear, Jian Ning would never have such thoughts. Perhaps it's because they received different educations.

"Is she a woman? The one you wanted to introduce to me last time?" The commander immediately guessed the truth.

"Yes, she was the one who suggested establishing the base in Linyang. I think her idea is excellent, and I hope the commander can make a decision as soon as possible."

"If these mutated and contaminated organisms hatch in large numbers, they will pose a huge threat to us. We don't even know how lethal our ammunition will be to them." Xiao Lingfeng was very worried.

"Didn't you say there was still an unhatched egg? Give it to me, I'll do an experiment in a bit."

Commander, it would be best to immediately notify everyone in the city that our troops should collect these eggs and destroy them in a centralized manner.

This should prevent most dangers from occurring. To increase public participation, drinking water or food could be offered in exchange.

“Xiao Fu is right, I will give the order right away. Comrade Xiao Lingfeng, you have made another great contribution this time. Once things have settled down, I will report it to you and give you a commendation.”

The leader patted Xiao Lingfeng on the shoulder, showing great confidence in him. This man was not only outstanding himself, but his friends were also just as capable.

Xiao Lingfeng handed the egg to Fu Mengfan and didn't stay there long. He hurriedly went back and politely knocked three times on Jian Ning's door before going in.

"Is it all taken care of? What did your commander say?" Jian Ning was quite concerned. Although she wasn't afraid of this monster herself, she figured that an ordinary person would die very quickly if they encountered it.

"The danger of this creature has already been reported, and Fu Mengfan has also come up with a good idea: to exchange water and food for the eggs, collect more, and then destroy them all at once."

While it's impossible to completely solve the egg problem, its tendency to reproduce in large numbers should be somewhat controllable.

"Dr. Fu's method is indeed good; it can mobilize the enthusiasm of the masses."

Let's go out and look for it; this egg should be easy to spot at night."

Jian Ning felt that the military's execution capabilities should be quite strong, so she didn't search in the city, but instead flew with Xiao Lingfeng to the highway exit.

This is exactly the path the seawater receded. In the fields on both sides of the highway, there were also many fish, clams, crabs, shrimp and the like left behind, most of which are now dead.

Because it's some distance from the city, few people walk here to collect fish, so there are quite a few monster eggs here. Jian Ning couldn't possibly collect them all one by one; that would be too much trouble.

She released all the cranes from the celestial abode, more than thirty in total, and had Huang Fugui lead them. She piled the eggs together and was responsible for lighting the fire.

This was the first time Xiao Lingfeng had ever seen so many cranes. They seemed to have their own background music as they appeared, exuding an ethereal aura, making them instantly distinguishable from the cranes in ordinary wetland parks.

Moreover, the eggs can be picked up accurately with every single one, and they can even fly, greatly improving efficiency.

Although very curious, they suppressed their curiosity and followed them to collect monster eggs. They didn't think there was anything wrong with Jian Ning not doing any work.

It took more than two hours to eliminate all the monster eggs in this area. The air was filled with the stench of burning, and Jian Ning discovered that the monsters inside the eggs had grown considerably in just one afternoon.

After finishing here, Jian Ning returned all the cranes to her immortal abode. Then, carrying Huang Fugui, she stealthily flew back on her sword. Along the way, she could see that the soldiers of the army had already begun their operations, with a very clear division of labor.

The monster's eggs have been collected from the back of the military pickup truck.

"You told the commander that beheading them wouldn't work. To prevent them from reigniting, they must be burned clean, otherwise something bad will happen sooner or later."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Let's go back and rest now."

It will take some time for this egg to hatch. Since Jian Ning discovered it in time, they can have some buffer time to figure out how to deal with it. This is already the best possible outcome.

Early the next morning, while Jian Ning was still cultivating in her immortal abode, a drone carrying a loudspeaker...

They kept shouting, "Important notice, important notice! The government is now collecting large quantities of white eggs from the ground."

Ten eggs can be exchanged for a bottle of purified water, twenty eggs for a bag of bread, and thirty or fifty eggs can be exchanged for corresponding amounts of grain or flour.

Those who need eggs can come out and collect them as soon as possible. Exchange hours are from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, with no lunch break. The exchange point is next to the water station.

"What? Eggs can be exchanged for food? Anping, shall your dad and I go out and collect some too?"

Aunt Li was immediately tempted. Her family's food supplies were dwindling every day, even though they had a considerable amount in reserve.

But one or two years is fine, but what if we live like this for ten or twenty years? We can't go on without any income, even just exchanging bread and biscuits would be good.

"Mom, you have to stay home and look after Mengyao. She's heavily pregnant now and can't be left alone. I can go by myself. I'll leave right after I finish eating."

Jian Anping understood Aunt Li's thoughts. However, he did not agree to let her go down; he could do this himself, since he had plenty of energy.
