Chapter 220 Food was scarce, and the officer next to him overheard this...
The officer next to him was completely confused. He looked at Uncle Lin with a puzzled expression and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Uncle Lin quickly explained, "He meant that if we wanted to break this barrier, we might consider using electromagnetic weapons."
The officer frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "I'll go and apply."
About four hours later, when a third crack appeared in the barrier, the electromagnetic weapon requested by the officer was finally delivered to the scene.
Looking at the rows of high-tech electromagnetic guns, Uncle Lin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Aren't they using electromagnetic cannons?"
The officer shook his head: "The electromagnetic gun is too slow to arrive."
Uncle Lin didn't say anything more, just watched as the soldiers lined up to receive their electromagnetic guns, and then, after taking their positions, pressed the switch under the command of the officers.
Extremely high arcs of electricity, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, shot towards the barrier.
The transparent barrier emitted a buzzing sound under the impact of the electromagnetic gun.
On the empty ground, a ruin appeared faintly.
"It worked!" Both the boy and the officer were delighted, but the boy's face showed a hint of pride.
He tilted his chin slightly and raised his eyebrows as he looked at Uncle Lin, as if to say, "See, I told you it would work."
Seeing his appearance, Uncle Lin couldn't help but chuckle and patted his head.
As the sound of the electric current grew louder, the situation inside the barrier became clearer.
Then, with a "pop" sound, the transparent barrier finally disappeared.
What appeared before everyone was a giant octopus, which was being enveloped by light emanating from a green jade pendant.
After being bound tightly, the giant octopus was instantly sliced apart by light, turning into hundreds of fragments.
Then, the limbs slowly merged together, and the giant octopus reappeared.
Uncle Lin and his group watched helplessly as the giant octopus broke apart and then reformed, broke apart again and reformed again.
"This..." The sound of the boy tearing open the lollipop packaging broke the crowd's astonishment.
Only then did they notice that opposite the giant octopus, Sang Zhitao and the others were sleeping on the ground.
Seeing this, Uncle Lin quickly stepped forward and woke the person up.
"Lin Tao?" Su He woke up with a yawn. When she saw the person in front of her, she couldn't help but rub her eyes again before she finally realized that the person in front of her was a familiar one.
She quickly looked behind Uncle Lin and saw many soldiers and fortune tellers standing outside.
"How did you get in?" Su asked suspiciously.
Uncle Lin quickly gave a brief account of what had just happened.
Sang Zhitao, rubbing her eyes, said, "Why don't you try using an electromagnetic gun to deal with this octopus?"
"I really can't wait any longer. I've tried killing it hundreds of times, but I still can't kill it or absorb it."
Seeing an infant only a few months old speaking so clearly, Uncle Lin and the others were quite amazed.
"Wow~ Bao'er, how many months pregnant are you? You talk so fluently!" The boy couldn't help but come closer.
A youthful face loomed large before her eyes, and Sang Zhitao couldn't resist reaching out and smearing it with her hand.
However, she is young and small in size, and even with all her strength, she could not cause any harm to the boy.
"I'm Shao Wen, the prized son of the Linhai City Fortune Telling Bureau." The boy had barely finished introducing himself when he pulled a lollipop from his pocket. "Want one?"
Sang Zhitao waved her hand: "No, I'm still a baby, I can only drink milk."
"Oh, oh." Shao Wen nodded, pretending to understand.
The others had already exchanged information, and Sang Zhitao's words reached the ears of Fu Guanshi, who was holding her.
"Are you hungry?" Fu Guanshi picked her up upright, carefully rubbed his palms together, and then gently touched Sang Zhitao's belly.
Sang Zhitao felt the coldness on her stomach with a blank expression, then looked down helplessly at the bulge under her clothes.
It took him a while to come to his senses: "What are you doing?"
Fu Guanshi looked at his hands, then at her, and asked in confusion, "See if you're starving."
Sang Zhitao twitched her lips: "I'm still a baby, I have a natural little belly, I won't starve."
"It's okay to miss a meal or two, but I'll die if I miss more." As if remembering something, she quickly added.
Fu Guanshi nodded blankly and hurriedly carried her towards Su He: "Taozi is hungry."
Suhe slapped her forehead and replied in annoyance, "I completely forgot that our Peach is still a baby."
"It's alright, since everything is safe now, there's no problem. I'll have someone prepare." Uncle Lin quickly said.
Suhe didn't stand on ceremony with him and nodded in agreement.
"Let's try the electromagnetic gun." Sang Zhitao noticed that the other soldiers had relaxed their grip on their weapons.
Although they were still waiting for orders at their positions, the initial tension and vigilance on their faces had long since disappeared, replaced by a hint of curiosity.
Looking at the group of soldiers who were no more than twenty years old, Sang Zhitao suddenly felt a sense of loving affection, like an elder looking at younger generations.
She shuddered involuntarily after realizing her own thought.
"Are you cold?" Fu Guanshi asked in a low voice.
Jinmai, who was standing nearby, quickly told Uncle Lin, who was making a phone call, "Don't forget to prepare clothes for Taozi."
Uncle Lin nodded after hearing this, and quickly took a few steps back to make a phone call.
Upon hearing Sang Zhitao's words, the officer ran back to the main force and pointed at the giant octopus, giving orders to the soldiers.
The soldiers, who had relaxed, quickly perked up at his command, surrounded the giant octopus, and then, under the officer's order, pressed the attack button in unison.
The electric arc shot towards the giant octopus that was bound by green light.
Its tentacles, which were still struggling, froze in place when the electric arc struck its body.
Then the giant octopus stared blankly at Sang Zhitao, as if its entire body had been struck by acupuncture.
About ten minutes later, the giant octopus, which had been locked in a stalemate for half a day, was reduced to dust.
"This... it shouldn't be able to come back to life, right?" Jinmai looked at the spot where the giant octopus had disappeared and couldn't help but ask.
After Sang Zhitao put the jade pendant back into her body, she slowly shook her head: "It's not that bad, it's just a pity..."
Jinmai looked at her, completely bewildered.
Sang Zhitao didn't continue to explain what she was regretting.
Just then, she saw something glowing on the ground where the giant octopus had disappeared.
Just as Sang Zhitao was about to ask Fu Guanshi to carry her over, she saw a sharp-eyed soldier pick up the glowing object and hand it to the officer.
The officer took the item, holding the glowing object somewhat blankly, before turning to Suhe after a while: "Grand Preceptor, take a look at this."
Suhe looked at the familiar thing in his palm and subconsciously turned to look at Sang Zhitao.
Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow.
Suhe rubbed her temples, picked something up, and walked up to Sang Zhitao: "Take a look at this."
Sang Zhitao looked at the glowing object in surprise, her voice trembling with astonishment: "World fragments?! How can there be more?!"
Su He sighed heavily: "So what exactly are the fragments of the world?"
Sang Zhitao didn't reply to her. Instead, she pounced on her and snatched the World Fragment from her hands.
"It's a fragment of the world, but something doesn't seem right?" Sang Zhitao held the fragment she had snatched back, instinctively trying to absorb it, but felt that something was amiss.
"Huh? It can't be absorbed?" Sang Zhitao looked at the unmoving object in her palm with surprise.
"Didn't it fly directly into your body?" Su He had seen her absorb the world fragment last time, and now, looking at the world fragment in her palm, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
Sang Zhitao was also somewhat bewildered. She shook her head helplessly: "I don't know."
"Is it fake?" Suhe asked curiously.
Sang Zhitao quickly shook her head: "No, I can sense its aura. It does belong to the fragments of the world, but I don't know why I can't absorb it."
"Then put it away carefully." Fu Guanshi took a brocade pouch the size of an infant's palm from her waist.
She carefully stuffed the soul contract from the brocade pouch into the other brocade pouches before placing the world fragment in Sang Zhitao's hand into the brocade pouch.
Suhe pulled out a red string from somewhere and carefully hung it around Sang Zhitao's neck.
Sang Zhitao squeezed the brocade pouch before looking at Su He: "Is there anything else that hasn't been resolved?"
Suhe shook her head and turned to look at Anwen and the others.
An Wen glanced at Hong Tu, then at the other members of the Criminal Investigation Brigade who were rushing over, before saying, "For now, everything is fine."
Suhe nodded and saw Uncle Lin carrying a cloth bag over.
"I bought some milk powder and clothes from a nearby store first, that'll do for now." Uncle Lin handed the prepared baby bottle to Sang Zhitao.
Smelling the rich aroma of milk, Sang Zhitao's stomach, which she hadn't felt particularly hungry at first, started rumbling.
Uncle Lin quickly put the baby bottle into her arms.
Sang Zhitao held the milk bottle with both hands and drank half of it in one gulp. Only after feeling something in her stomach did she slow down and drink it slowly.
Seeing her drinking milk with complete concentration, Suhe couldn't help but smile indulgently.
After chatting with Uncle You and the others for a few minutes, An Wen frowned and walked over to Su He.
Suhe thought everything was fine and she could take Sang Zhitao home.
Seeing An Wen's solemn expression, I instantly had a bad feeling.
As expected, Anwen brought her bad news.
“Grand Preceptor, you cannot leave for the time being. Something has happened in the next city.” An Wen sighed heavily. “It may be related to the situation here. We need your cooperation to go over there.”
"You're going too?" Suhe frowned.
An Wen explained, "We do have a bit more experience than the people over there."
Hearing her say that, Suhe nodded and said nothing more. Instead, she gently placed her hand on her waist and said, "I'm not as young as I used to be. Why don't you find some young people to try? Anyway, the person who could deceive the heavens is dead, so it doesn't matter whether I take action or not."
An Wen twitched his lips: "You're only in your thirties."
Suhe couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You're already middle-aged!"
An Wen sighed helplessly and turned to Sang Zhitao: "What does Taozi think?"
Sang Zhitao's second bottle of milk was empty, and she couldn't help but burp. The smell of milk made Fu Guanshi's usually calm face turn green for a moment.
“Everyone has their own destiny.” Sang Zhitao looked at her original female protagonist and then at An Wen, and advised, “Anyway, we’re close by. If something really happens, just take a flight over.”
Seeing this, An Wen stopped trying to persuade him.
In a conference room in a neighboring city, an elderly man glared fiercely at a middle-aged man: "What did I say! I told you to keep your tails between you and get moving!"
"You guys are something else! Not only did you force someone to self-destruct, you also destroyed a fragment of his soul!"
The middle-aged man knelt before the old man, his body trembling as he explained, "We...we...we didn't expect the God of Wish to come in person."
"Slap!" The old man slapped him across the face, and a bright red handprint instantly appeared on the middle-aged man's cheek.
"If you still can't handle things properly in Linming City, then don't bother coming back!" The old man took a few deep breaths before speaking sternly.
The middle-aged man hurriedly kowtowed and repeatedly promised.
He waited with his head down for a long time, and only after the old man stopped scolding him did he tremblingly raise his head and glance at the old man.
The old man had his eyes closed and was leaning back in his chair, seemingly resting.
Only then did he muster his courage and carefully leave the meeting room.
"Keep an eye on him. If he's not handled well, get rid of him. I don't need any useless people here," the old man said coldly without even opening his eyes.
A cool, clear voice rang out from the corner of the conference room: "Yes."
Then the elusive figure vanished completely from the corner...
Earth base, the familiar ringtone sounds...
