"Major, we have been attacked by the sea tribe and are currently relocating our headquarters. We are really overwhelmed and cannot spare any time. Please forgive us."
"We will provide you with the time and location of the cargo ship's last appearance..."
Lu Taoyu rubbed his brows with a headache as he listened to the reply from the communicator, which was full of apology but of no practical use.
The other party's words implied "We are busy now, please find one yourself."
And she really couldn't ask the other party to take time out of his busy schedule to come and help.
After all, the sea people forced Citroën to move its headquarters, so the situation in Mao City must not be optimistic.
Prioritizing self-preservation is the top priority for Citroën and the human race.
"Okay, I see. Please send over the list and personal information of that crew as well."
Lu Taoyu signaled the liaison officer to return to his position, and he stood up and began to dispatch the soldiers of the battalion under his command to prepare for the "treasure hunt".
To be honest, she didn't have much time to find a cargo ship.
The Huaihuangzhou front is already short of personnel, and this battalion of troops cannot be away from the battlefield for too long.
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace, causing the hem of her military coat to rustle.
She gave orders to the heralds following her.
"Companies One and Two will be on either side of the Zhuoshui River, searching downstream. Company Three will be taking a boat directly down to the area near Mao City to investigate."
"Remind everyone, there may be sea creatures in Mao City now. Don't get entangled with them. We need to rush back to Huaihuangzhou as soon as possible."
Her tone was serious, and upon hearing her decision, a deputy beside her asked.
"Captain, Mao City has been invaded by the sea tribe. Is it really okay for us not to rescue it?"
Lu Taoyu glanced at the other person's young face, and was not angry, but just asked him back.
"Rescue? Just our battalion?"
She walked towards the exit of the base without slowing down, and without waiting for the young deputy to reply, she continued.
"Rescuing them is the responsibility of the Yueluozhou Southern Military District in charge of Mao City. Don't forget that we have our own mission."
"The situation in Huaihuangzhou is much more urgent than the current situation in Mao City."
As she stepped out of the human race’s base in Liucheng, Huaihuangzhou, a scenery completely different from that of Yueluozhou came into view.
Compared to Yueluozhou, where the climate is humid all year round, Huaihuangzhou, which has not yet fully entered spring, is obviously drier.
However, in a month or two, after the seasonal drought has passed and Huaihuangzhou has officially entered the spring and summer rainy season, it will suddenly become humid.
Liucheng will be shrouded in green willows just like its name.
Lu Taoyu walked along the quiet avenue lined with willow trees and headed straight for the Chunyan Lake port with half a company of soldiers.
Along the way, he did not forget to use a portable communicator to whisper some not-so-confidential orders to the soldiers of the other two companies.
Next to her, there was a messenger holding a communicator, contacting the soldiers staying at the port, preparing to weigh anchor in advance.
The entire camp operated efficiently and orderly, racing against time through the night.
The level of this group of people is not low, and the distance between their base and the river port is only two kilometers.
Therefore, in about three minutes, the bright and calm Chunyan Lake under the moonlight appeared at the end of the avenue.
At the edge of Chunyan Lake Port, two medium-sized warships were docked on the shore.
At this moment, the other half of the company's soldiers were distributed on and off the warship, ready to set off.
"Weigh anchor," Lu Taoyu stepped into the cabin, "steer at full speed downstream, and reduce speed as we approach Mao City."
"yes!"
The two warships left Chunyan Lake Port one after another and entered the wide Zhuoshui River.
At the same time, on both sides of the Zhuoshui River, two other infantry companies set out.
They began to search for the cargo ship along the river bank and in the open savanna.
They were destined to return empty-handed because Zi Sui, who had salvaged the entire cargo ship, had already made plans to head to the Dragon Palace under the sea.
However, before entering the sea, he still needed to harvest the flesh and blood crystals for a while in Mao City, which was already a vast ocean.
“Swish!”
The sound of wings scraping across the water was heard, and Zisui hid his body and flew among the surviving buildings in Mao City.
Below him was the sea which had not yet returned to calm.
The sea water was still rising, and a building still standing nearby had already been submerged above three floors.
Most of the residential buildings, even if they were not knocked down by the waves, only had their roofs exposed, which were about to be swallowed up.
What's more, it collapses into large pieces of debris, floating in the surging water.
It was 4:30 in the morning, with less than an hour until sunrise. Normally, vendors would be out doing their shopping by this time.
But today, the smell of fireworks will not hover over Mao City.
Instead, there is a carnival for the sea creatures.
Zi Sui suddenly turned while flying, and the next moment, a huge sea beast broke through the water and jumped out at the place where he was originally going to pass.
When it dived back into the water, the force of the impact instantly collapsed several intact buildings nearby.
“Woo-woo!”
The sea beast made a sound that sounded like crying.
Then, as if a horn was blown to summon companions, the responding humming sounds rose and fell one after another.
Huge sea beasts similar to it leaped out of the water and deliberately rampaged among the buildings.
Zi Sui avoided these big guys. They smelled like rubber with a sea smell, which made him lose his appetite.
Yu He flapped his wings gently, avoiding the head of a sea beast that was about to hit him, and then increased his flying altitude.
He suddenly climbed up at a high speed, leaving scattered feather debris behind him, leaving a crystal-clear flight trail.
Under the gentle caress of the moonlight, these RC cell crystals look like scattered starlight.
However, due to the distortion of spatial energy, no one except Zi Sui himself could appreciate this scene.
As he climbed up together, a group of newly condensed flesh and blood crystals under the sea surface also rose up.
About a thousand diamond-shaped red crystals, large and small, left the sea, rose into the air, and surrounded Zi Sui.
Although the number is large, the output has decreased by nearly twenty times compared to when the tsunami just started.
After a rough count, Zi Sui concluded that there was not much profit to be made from the Mao market.
He shook his wings, and because they were wet with sea water and flying at high speed, there was some coarse salt between his feathers.
Tsk, I need to wash it.
After fanning for a long time, Yu He found that he still didn't feel comfortable, so before dawn, Zi Sui dived into the Wunu River.
