Chapter 529 Omen
Everything Canglong Company promised to deliver was delivered within a day, including four armored vehicles, twenty boxes of weapons and ammunition, a lot of protective equipment, and a lot of supplementary supplies and spare parts.
This amount is enough for their team to fight a small war.
But these things cannot be taken casually, because once the mother shrimp reproduces by splitting, it is uncertain in which area its split bodies will appear.
If it is nearby, then it is very likely that a rift between the two worlds will be torn here, and no one knows what will come out from there.
They had all fought in the Fusion Land and knew clearly how difficult the creatures there were. If that was the case, then this mansion could be used as a defensive stronghold.
Chen Chuan knew the complexity of the situation, so he and several team members spent two days to complete the defense of the house.
The four of them set up several barbed wire roadblocks outside the house and built an electric fence to block the flow of electricity.
Fortunately, they also requested a few more generators and a large amount of algae oil, otherwise the generator in the house alone would not be enough.
There are actually more than just the four of them at the house. There is also a group of five sword guards responsible for patrolling and guarding. Yan Yi has specially sent another group to assist in guarding in the past few days, so the manpower is more sufficient.
At this time, the interference creatures and small field creatures rented from the Processing Bureau were all in place.
Qin Qingque tried to debug it, and after it was done, he sent a contact signal to Chen Chuan.
"Captain, this is our dedicated frequency band. Once the interference creature is activated, any communication outside this frequency band without a request will be interfered with."
Once the mother shrimp begins to split and reproduce, most of the boundary points will become unusable. It is almost impossible for the resonators to use the boundary points to observe distant scenes and people. However, if other portable field creatures reach their vicinity, they can still do this.
Field interference organisms can monitor and eavesdrop from a distance, preventing the enemy from discovering their own situation and destroying the communication between the boundaries.
Chen Chuan logged into this frequency band on Jieping and tried to communicate with several team members.
Qin Qingque added: "The biological coverage of this rented area is about three kilometers. Our team is within the three-kilometer range, so there is no problem in communicating with each other.
I also found the frequency bands of the internal platforms released by the city government and the Ministry of Defense. If anyone is out of contact range, they can try to land on these field creatures and use the jump frequency band to contact and find the team members.
Su Wei showed an admiring look. He thought he was not very educated, so he always admired technical talents like Qin Qingque. In the past, such people often had a very high status in the team.
Yuan Qiyuan came over and patted him. "Captain Su, what are you standing there for? Let's go out and try the frequency range and practice a little bit."
They have been practicing against each other in their free time these past two days. Getting to know each other will make it easier for them to cooperate with each other in the future. Su Wei's fighting skills really made him look up to him.
This buddy is older than him and has never received any formal training. All his skills are honed through actual combat, and all the resources for his training are also earned by himself, which makes him very impressed.
Su Wei looked at Chen Chuan and saw that the latter had no objection, so he went out with Yuan Qiyuan.
Chen Chuan took another look around and saw that there was no problem here. He said hello to Qin Qingque and went back to Wuyi College.
After all, the cultivation in the academy cannot be compared with that outside. Hongfu can also help to temper his spirit every day. In the last period before the opening of the Heavenly Gate, he can still try to improve himself.
When he returned to Xuangong Building, he saw students walking hurriedly, and occasionally saw teachers from the academy getting on and off the elevator. There was a tense atmosphere in the academy.
This is because many teachers and students who do not have official positions have been incorporated into the protection force by the Government Affairs Department, and have been training in small teams over the past two days.
Although most of the students are only at the second level, once they wear protective equipment and cooperate with each other, they will be absolutely unstoppable by security and military teams that do not possess heavy weapons. They are a considerable force.
But how will the central city government explain the abnormal situation that will occur at that time?
After all, matters such as the Big Bang are kept strictly confidential from the lower-class people and ordinary students.
He checked on the platform and his expression became a little subtle. This explanation... was quite acceptable, and it was somewhat reasonable.
After returning to the dormitory, he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from the window, as if something hit it and fell on the windowsill.
Is it a flying bird? It doesn't seem like one.
Generally speaking, because the Xuangong Building is under the influence of Hongfu's field, few birds will fly here. He has been in the academy for so long, but he has never encountered one.
He walked over there, opened the inspection door next to it, and came to the window sill outside, where he saw something falling and shaking.
It was a flying insect about the size of a finger, with its wings broken. Although it looked small, it had ferocious mouthparts, and from the sound of the collision, one could feel that its body was very hard.
Is this... a creature from the Land of Blending?
His eyes narrowed slightly, but the appearance of this thing undoubtedly proved that although the cracks had not yet spread open, some tiny holes had already appeared.
He looked up at the tall buildings outside. The strong wind blew his hair back. Below the sky was the outline of the city spreading to the horizon, and a lead-gray cloud was stretching across the upper part of the sky.
It seems that it will be in these two days.
It wasn't just here, many small insects of unknown origin appeared one after another in the entire central city and various districts. People riding on the tram could always hear crackling sounds coming from the windows.
After the tram passed, all that was left were dead insects on the ground, and even more were flying in the sky. Because the central city was full of lush greenery, some of them directly attached themselves to the plants and started to bite them.
On the streets, the sounds of passers-by slapping and spitting could be heard from time to time, because these insects not only bite people, but also drill into people's eyes, noses, ears, and collars, making people very irritated.
Fortunately, most of these insects are relatively small, and it is spring now, which is a time when there are more insects, so passers-by just spit and curse a few times, and it did not cause too much chaos.
Half an hour later, city patrols began to take to the streets, and airships passed overhead, spraying large amounts of pungent potions on the green plants on the roadside and the plants clinging to the tall buildings.
Lao Qi and Wu Han were sitting in a car and heading back to their residence.
After Chen Chuan's reminder, they stopped accepting commissions, but they couldn't interrupt the ones they had accepted before, so they were just finishing the last commission and rushing back from outside.
Looking at the small bugs that kept hitting the car window, Wu Han said, "This is strange. Why are there so many bugs? I didn't see any in the past few days. Lao Qi, is this a local specialty?"
Lao Qi turned on the windshield wipers, brushing away the potions and insect corpses, and said, "I've never seen anything like this. Didn't Brother Chen tell me to be careful a few days ago? Could this be it?"
But don’t tell me… I think I’ve seen the situation these days once before, about twenty years ago…”
"What's that situation?"
Lao Qi recalled: "I think they said it was an invasive species or something, and they said it came from the sea. I can't remember clearly."
"Hey, let me check."
Wu Han used JiePing to check and found that there were many people discussing this matter on the platform, and the results would come out soon.
"That seems to be the case. They say these bugs migrated from overseas and were caused by some biological experiment conducted by the Linax Federation in the past.
These few days are just the first batch, and it is said that there will be a large group coming in a few days. The Linax Federation is really incompetent."
At this moment, the huge advertising screens on both sides suddenly flickered, and a half-body image of a well-known host appeared on them.
"...This is the first large-scale invasion of alien species in twenty years..."
"Thirty years ago, the Linax Federation, despite dissuasion, conducted biological experiments in the ocean for ten years, resulting in the deterioration of the marine environment and mutations in biological populations...
"This invading species is extremely destructive. The Central City government has implemented strict defense measures. We hope that the residents of Central City will refrain from going out during this period..."
Lao Qi instinctively became alert and said, "It seems this is not a simple matter. I have to go pick up Qiqi early today..."
As they drove forward, an armed patrol car from the Processing Bureau passed by them. In the car were Sun Rao and Wei Yuji.
Looking at the report on the screen, Wei Yuji suddenly said, "Senior, do you believe what's said?"
"What's the meaning?"
Wei Yuji said, "Is it because of the need to deal with those creatures that the higher-ups are making such a big fuss? They've sent so many people to strengthen security patrols?"
"What else?"
Sun Rao thought he was overthinking it and warned him, "Don't underestimate these things. They say they are just the first ones to arrive and pose little threat. There will be more vicious ones to come."
Wei Yuji chuckled, "Let's not talk about how these things came here. If it's just a biological invasion, do you really think those creatures in the central city are vegetarians? And there have been so many foreign fighters pouring in recently. What are they doing here to join in the fun?"
"It's also possible that they were just hired by the government, or they were looking for an opportunity to take these creatures back for research. After all, they are valuable." Sun Rao found a reasonable explanation.
Wei Yuji said, "Do you believe it? I don't. The higher-ups must be hiding something from us."
"So what? These have nothing to do with us. We just have to obey orders."
Wei Yuji said: "That's why I said that you are too rigid, and you can't seize the opportunity. Subordinates like you may think you are very useful, but that's all.
Senior, you often boasted to me that you were the one who brought Captain Chen into the bureau, but he's now the executive captain, and you're still on patrol."
Sun Rao's face darkened a little after hearing what he said. What do you mean by bragging? That's the truth!
He said, "Junior, I don't care what you think. You are on patrol duty now, so you have to do it well. If you violate the rules, I will report it, and it will definitely have an impact on you. Think about it yourself."
Wei Yuji chuckled and said, "Then you're wrong, Senior." He looked at the insects flying around outside the car window and said, "Rules are only for mediocre people. Those who can stand out are never bound by these constraints."
