Chapter 127

Ying Huai had no idea about the official action, not only because he didn't have a mobile phone and couldn't access the Internet, but also because the official side had not released this news.

Even for those who go out on missions, their families only know that they are out on missions, but they don't know the details.

The family at home was worried that they might be in danger outside, but since they were used to them going on missions frequently, they didn't tell anyone else and only knew about it among themselves.

As for Mayor Xiao and others on the mountain near Daxi Village, of course they were not aware of it either.

Those who gave up their tasks at the Ability Center were basically the strongest front-line personnel, and not many of the rest even knew about these things.

"Something's going on up there, pretty important. My family just tipped me off and didn't say anything else."

It was raining outside, making it impossible to discuss government affairs face to face. This led to an unprecedented number of online meetings for Mayor Xiao and his colleagues, to the point where even the team leader of the defense team had to participate and know some of the content.

"Mayor, since your family only mentioned it briefly but didn't specify what it was, what should we do?"

Everyone present who heard Mayor Xiao's words didn't know how to react. Should they follow Mayor Xiao's words and find a direction to make arrangements, or should they strengthen their defenses and be more cautious after knowing this news?

If you don't understand, just ask.

"Well, there's no need to go out. Just stay on guard and wait and see what happens next. I'll let you know if there's any new information."

After Mayor Xiao finished speaking, the topic changed.

In fact, the reason he said this today was because he knew that the rain had been falling for too long.

At first, the residents of the town were faced with survival issues and had no time to focus on these issues, but things were different after they went up the mountain.

This mountain is protected by the locust tree, so there is no need to worry about being invaded by mutant animals and plants. Although the rain is cold, the degree of damage can be controlled with care.

When lives are no longer threatened and life becomes stable, people will start to think. When they think too much, rumors will arise. In addition, the children in the mountains have had unexplained high fevers these days, which has made their parents worried, and panic is also rising in people's hearts.

Mayor Xiao had no choice as they had to stay on the mountain and couldn't go down.

The strength of the mutated animals and plants outside is still increasing. In such heavy rain, the defense team's ability users cannot go out in the rain to clean up the aggressive mutated animals and plants that appear around.

Releasing such unidentified news to appease people is a helpless move.

We will have to wait and see what actions are needed next.

After all, any measures the authorities want to take will take time, so even if they are anxious, there is nothing they can do.

"Okay, that's all. Go back and make your own arrangements. If any problems arise later, or if the public voices any concerns, you can adjust them at any time."

Putting down the documents in his hand, Mayor Xiao looked up at the camera and said the last sentence before ending the meeting.

"It's raining so hard. Even if we're not out clearing out mutant plants and animals, it's easy to get sick standing in the rain on patrol."

After the meeting, Village Chief Wu called Tang Rufeng again to discuss with him how to implement it.

They understood what Mayor Xiao meant. Apart from the unclear information given at the beginning, he wanted each village to arrange people to patrol the edge of the godmother's protection to avoid accidents that would leave them defenseless.

In fact, he was afraid that there would be too many mutated animals and plants outside, and that their strength would continue to increase and become dangerous to his godmother.

Even if the godmother is powerful, "ants can kill an elephant" will not appear out of nowhere, there is always some explanation behind it.

They are afraid of this possibility.

Not to mention that there are so many people in the mountains living under the protection of the godmother, even if something happens to the godmother herself, the villagers of Daxi Village will not feel good.

"So we have to find a way to build a simple patrol shed right on the edge."

Almost immediately after the village chief finished speaking, Tang Rufeng followed his train of thought and came up with a relatively feasible solution.

"That's fine too. We can let people with special abilities build it first. They have strong physical qualities and can handle it. Once the patrol tents are built to protect from the rain, we can then move ordinary people in."

The village chief had no objection to Tang Rufeng's proposal and continued speaking along with what he said.

"As for the material, we can just use bamboo. Although we can't make a completely rainproof shelter, at least we won't be like now, where we walk a few steps and get soaked without even rain gear."

Speaking of this, the village chief wanted to sigh.

"The sky looks like it's been broken into a huge hole. When will it heal? Looking down from here, you can even see the water below."

"If this continues, people who don't know will think we're a coastal city and see huge waves just outside our doors."

At first, no one expected that the rain would last so long and be so powerful.

Reality tells them that everything is possible.

“I don’t know where this rainwater comes from.”

Tang Rufeng stood up, walked to the window, looked outside, and spoke softly.

"Okay, wait and notify someone. I'm hanging up first."

Ying Huai just watched as the people on the mountain were busy building in the rain within his own shelter. Because time was tight and the task was heavy, even though they used very flexible bamboo to build the shed, it still looked very simple.

People walked inside those sheds, which meant it was raining heavily outside and drizzling inside the sheds.

Fortunately, people won’t get soaked just by walking outside for a while.

The presence of this patrol shed has also opened up the villagers' minds.

They used the remaining materials to build a path leading to the patrol shed area.

It looks very simple. When the materials are insufficient, the materials used are messy and colorful. But at least it is a road, which allows the villagers to not have to stay at home all day and even have difficulty going out.

With the appearance of this road, the first thing villagers do when they leave their homes is to put on raincoats and follow the road to the village entrance to see their godmother.

Although they knew that they lived under the protection of their godmother and their living conditions could not be hidden from her eyes as long as she wanted to know, it was still very easy for them to communicate with her normally.

Although they can communicate and know that their godmother is there, they don't feel panic in their hearts. However, due to habit, they still feel uneasy when they can't see their godmother in reality.

It was hard to go out before, but now that they can go out, none of them can hold it back anymore.

The first thing I do when I can go out is to visit my godmother.

There were so many people who had the same idea that soon after they left the house, they were blocked halfway because there were too many people inside the rain shelter leading to the village entrance.

"Could you please tell me before you leave? We're stuck now!"

Faced with this situation, the village chief arrived late. When he saw the state of his fellow villagers, he couldn't help but say a few words helplessly.

We've just been allowed to go out and yet we rush out without any planning. It would be strange if we don't get stuck.

"Village Chief, please let them go home first. Don't keep blocking the road. We still need to arrange patrols."

Tang Tang stood by, holding up the protective shield and looking at the people blocked in the shed. He really didn't know what to do.

Tang Tang's ability is special in itself. His appearance is to protect her from bad luck. At this time, he seems to be very lucky.

Others would easily get soaked even if they wore rain gear.

But Tangtang is different. Her protective shield completely blocks the rain.

Seeing her standing in the rain without getting wet at all, people around her were envious.

"Tangtang's ability is really convenient outside."

An uncle from the same village said this, his eyes full of envy.

"Hey, what's good about it? The rain is pouring down, and everything outside is just Gaussian blur."

Hearing this, Tang Tang also had something to say. After saying this, she shook her head helplessly.

It was raining heavily outside. Even if other people were standing in the rain, they would not be able to see far away, let alone Tangtang who was watching through a layer of protective shield.

"Tangtang, why don't you try the windshield cleaning fluid we use at home? It doesn't leave any serious water marks after splashing water on it."

As the uncle said this, he wanted to go back to find the cleaning fluid, but he was still stuck halfway and couldn't move as he pleased.

"Can you please make room for me so I can go back?"

After squeezing for a long time, he didn't see his position move much. The uncle patted the fellow villager who was standing next to him and squeezing with him several times.

"You can't even move, and you expect me to make room for you? How about you tie me up with a rope and hook me?"

The person being photographed turned around and confronted him speechlessly.

In the end, Tangtang finally got the cleaning liquid that the uncle gave her.

The reason why the traffic in the village was cleared so quickly was that Tang Rufeng finally came out and cooperated with Captain Qingzhi and others to free up the blocked roads in the village.

Things were temporarily peaceful on this side of the mountain, but the drunkard who was following his son's group in the distance was not so lucky.

He had only been following the team of special abilities in front of him for half a day when he was already facing the possibility of being discovered.

"You've looked back so many times, but each time you didn't find anything. Could it be that you're sensing something wrong?"

A faint male voice sounded in the rain, and from the meaning of the voice, it was obvious that there was another person there.

"Well, I felt like someone was following us shortly after I came out."

The person being questioned replied softly.

"But we came out to look for it several times during the break, but we couldn't find it. Not finding it doesn't mean there's no problem. It just means that the thing following us has special abilities."

He had no doubt about his abilities, and did not dwell on himself at all. He directly focused his attention on the outside world and sought verification.

"If we can't find it, let's talk to Captain One and the others and have them investigate with the most capable people, right?"

The person who asked the question at the beginning did not doubt it after hearing it. He observed the surrounding environment through the blurry rain curtain, and found that he still found nothing, so he could only turn around and say this.

Since something is wrong and they can't find the source themselves, of course they need help from someone more powerful to deal with it.

Otherwise, if you waste time and something goes wrong at the critical moment, it will most likely be a regret.

"That's all we can do. Let's go back."

The person being persuaded frowned and looked around again, but still couldn't see anything wrong. He had no choice but to give up and nodded in agreement to his companion's suggestion.

"Let's go back and tell Captain I and the others. Let them come and see if there's anything wrong. They'll handle it."

After the two of them finished talking, they turned around and headed back in the direction they came from, heading towards the temporary resting place where they had set up camp.

The drunkard, who was sensed but not discovered for the time being, dared not move. He just watched the two people go and come back. He wandered back and observed the environment again. After making sure that there was no problem, he left and never looked back. Only then did he relax.

The two people who just left came to check alone at first. After he found something wrong, he couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he came back to cheat just like before.

At first, the drunks were not on guard and were almost discovered, but later I got used to their behavior and could even analyze their actions to figure out what actions they would take next.

I can't analyze the details, and it can't be 100% accurate, but at least I can analyze it with 60% to 70% accuracy, which is enough.

"Uncle Captain, someone came to see you and said they found something, but they can't confirm it, so they came to ask you to take a look."

The child was originally playing by himself in a tent. He was still young and surrounded by adults who were all strong, so there was no need for him to join the defense, so he had time to play by himself.

Now that someone is looking for him and he is free, he will help find the person directly.
