Excavation work takes a lot of time, especially in the desert, which is even more difficult.
After professionals wrote the construction plan, the army's engineering troops quickly entered the site with equipment, and the Bowl Fern Project officially began.
The engineering troops moved in and worked day and night, with Lu Chengchuan watching from a distance.
He was afraid that the Corpse Demon King would suddenly appear, and he also hoped that the Corpse Demon King would suddenly appear. However, after more than ten days and half of the excavation had been completed, there was still no sign of the Corpse Demon King.
Lu Chengchuan was waiting when an unexpected news came from behind.
"A rebellion has broken out in the western part of the Northern Desert. Some extreme left-wing extremists are leading the Alasa army into the provincial territory. Commander Lin and his men are sending troops back to defend the area. Half of the soldiers and engineering teams here will be transferred."
Zhou Yaning told him a shocking news that the people in the western part of Beimo had rebelled and were leading foreign troops.
Zuohuizhong is the nickname for the residents of the western part of the Northern Desert, and Alassa is a country bordering the western part of the Northern Desert. It is a populous country and has been trying to encroach on the western part of the Northern Desert for many years.
"What's going on here?"
Lu Chengchuan didn't quite understand why the local residents would help foreign troops.
"Some people are dissatisfied and are colluding with foreign troops to prepare for independence. I don't know the details, but several armies are heading west to quell the rebellion.
Our engineering corps is made up of several armies, and now the front lines need people too, so we have to send half of them out."
That's all Zhou Yaning knew. She now had to cooperate with the military, as suppressing the rebellion was more important than excavating. While the engineering team wasn't needed in the war, there were many tasks that required specialized engineering teams.
"We're going too?"
"No, we have nothing to do for now." Zhou Yaning replied.
After explaining it clearly to him, Zhou Yaning immediately went to meet with the newcomers. In less than half an hour, half of the people left with the engineering equipment, and the remaining half continued to work.
Without so many people and equipment, the construction period will have to be postponed again.
However, more than ten days passed, and Lu Chengchuan, who could not see the Corpse Demon King, was no longer in a hurry. He just wanted to know whether there was a mysterious underground palace underneath.
Five days later, Lu Chengchuan checked the progress around the big pit. The leaders of the engineering team and several engineers accompanied him and explained the construction progress and problems encountered to Lu Chengchuan from time to time.
Just as they were inspecting the construction site, an armed helicopter flew over.
Before the helicopter got close, his cell phone rang. It was Zhou Yaning calling.
“Are you at the construction site?”
Zhou Yaning's cold voice reached his ears, but Lu Chengchuan could hear a hint of anxiety. Two days ago, she and Lin Jing left here, saying they were going to visit the front line.
Now he suddenly comes back, is the war over, or has something happened?
Hearing Zhou Yaning's question, Lu Chengchuan guessed that something had happened, otherwise people wouldn't be so anxious.
"Did something happen at the construction site?" Lu Chengchuan asked her.
As he expected, there was silence on the other end of the phone, and Zhou Yaning told him what had happened in the past few days.
From her words, Lu Chengchuan understood the specific situation.
The counter-insurgency operation had gone smoothly. Alassa's army was little more than peasants, no match for the Shenghua soldiers. They easily recaptured the occupied areas, inflicting heavy casualties on the rebels.
Just when the situation seemed to be going well, an accident happened.
The rebels were supported by a group of mysterious people who summoned monsters to attack the legion, harass the rear troops, and assassinate their own senior military leaders.
Although they still had the upper hand, it was hard to say if things continued to develop without accidents. Those people had to be dealt with, so she came to find Lu Chengchuan.
"Is it troublesome?"
"It's very troublesome. We don't know who the other party is yet. Please come with us first."
"I'm under the tower crane at the construction site. Come pick me up."
After understanding what happened, Lu Chengchuan went to wait under the tower crane where it was temporarily resting. After Zhou Yaning got the specific location, the helicopter quickly flew over.
"I have to leave for a while, you guys continue with the construction."
Before leaving, he called over several team leaders and asked them to continue digging while he was gone. The team leaders nodded, and soon a helicopter flew over. Zhou Yaning waved a red flag, asking them to come up quickly.
He went up and the helicopter took off immediately.
"The other party is so mysterious? Even you can't find out where they are."
He did not doubt the professionalism of the Investigation Bureau, but if even they couldn't find the enemy, how deep must the enemy be hiding?
"They never showed up. We only knew of the reinforcements when we captured the Alasar soldiers. Otherwise, we would have thought the enemy psychics could control monsters."
"So what are you looking for me for?"
"They control quite a few powerful monsters, and it'll take a lot of effort for us to deal with them."
Those level three monsters were too powerful, and ordinary firearms were almost useless against them. The army paid a heavy price to kill a few monsters.
"The top brass of the military are also under threat, so we need someone who can handle monsters. And you know how to read air, so you can go over there and help check if there's a traitor."
The helicopter flew back to the military base, refueled and continued to fly west.
The Northern Desert is very large, covering two-thirds of Shenghua Country from east to west, and bordering another country to the west. The battlefield is in the border area, and the helicopter will have to fly for several hours.
At the border, the battle has not stopped yet. The army is defending the line and will not retreat even if monsters rush in.
The fighting lasted until night, and only subsided slightly when Lu Chengchuan arrived.
"Let's go to the headquarters first. Several army commanders and commanders are there. You should pay more attention then." Zhou Yaning took him to the headquarters first to see if there was any traitor.
Lu Chengchuan nodded, and the two of them came to the security area in front of the command center.
The headquarters was located not far from a small city. A few days ago, the rebels suddenly attacked and occupied the city. After that, they came to suppress the rebellion and drove the rebels out of the city.
However, some of the rebels summoned monsters, and they counterattacked and occupied part of the city again.
The two armies began to fight for the city. Their soldiers were of better quality, and had better equipment and logistics, so they basically dominated the enemy soldiers.
But the enemy has a mysterious person who summons monsters, and those monsters help the enemy withstand some of the pressure.
In order to deal with those powerful monsters, they also suffered heavy losses.
Zhou Yaning called Staff Officer Huang, and Huang Hengyong knew they were coming and immediately told Commander Lin, who then reported to the commander in chief.
"Chief, they are coming!"
There were also a bunch of people in the headquarters, mostly high-ranking military officials. Lu Chengchuan walked in, his eyes slightly white. Everyone in the room looked over, and Lu Chengchuan looked at them.
Lu Chengchuan glanced over, and the person he was staring at couldn't help but take a step back.
Everyone present was in a high position, and normally others did not dare to look them in the eye, but now they were frightened.
However, Lu Chengchuan just glanced at them and ignored them. The pressure came and went quickly. He scanned the room and actually found a suspicious person.
