"Report!"
Ye Lin recognized Jiang Yue's voice outside. Remembering the task he had given Jiang Yue, his eyes lit up and he immediately called out, "Come in!"
Jiang Yue opened the door, and was taken aback at first, not expecting Chen Yu to be in Ye Lin's office as well. He then smiled at Chen Yu before saluting Ye Lin, "Regimental Commander!"
"Yes, come and sit down." Ye Lin didn't intend to let Chen Yu leave. If that mission was real, they would have to rely on a master like Chen Yu even more.
Having spent a long time with Ye Lin, Jiang Yue became less reserved and strode over to sit down. He had no objection to Ye Lin not letting Chen Yu leave, as this was a major event for the entire base, and he trusted Chen Yu's character.
"How's the investigation going?" Ye Lin asked, handing Jiang Yue a cup of hot water.
Jiang Yue took the cup, took a sip, and then said with a serious expression, "I took a few trusted men with the newly developed detectors from our base to investigate that large grain depot on the outskirts of J City. All the grain silos in the depot have been destroyed by mutated animals. The silos inside have been chewed up, and there is very little grain left."
When Chen Yu heard Jiang Yue mention the granary over there, his eyes lit up slightly, but when he heard that it had been destroyed by mutated animals, the light in his eyes dimmed.
Many grain warehouses in City B were also destroyed by mutated beasts; otherwise, their food supply wouldn't be so tight.
After appreciating the gloomy expressions on the faces of the two people in front of him, Jiang Yue finally let a smile appear on his face: "However, we detected an underground granary in this granary using our instruments, and this granary is currently intact."
"Really!" Ye Lin and Chen Yu exclaimed almost simultaneously, their eyes shining brightly.
During this period, they have been worried about the food problem every day. The base now has more than 2 million people, and the daily food consumption is more than 2,000 tons. The consumption rate is too fast. The most urgent thing now is to find food.
Jiang Yue nodded, but then his smile slowly disappeared from his face, replaced by a solemn expression.
"But there's bad news. Because the area is sparsely populated and mutated animals reproduce quickly, there are traces of mutated animals everywhere along the way, including many large beasts."
"These ferocious beasts have evolved faster than those smaller mutant animals. When we went there this time, we saw a brown bear that was over ten meters long. Ordinary grenades can't kill such a large mutant animal."
"We only managed to damage it before escaping."
"Moreover, there seems to be an extremely powerful mutated beast inside that granary. Even the mutated brown bear would subconsciously stay away from that granary."
"To avoid a direct confrontation, we did not choose to enter the grain warehouse. Instead, we conducted the detection from outside the grain warehouse, close to the detection range of the instrument."
"So it will be very difficult for us to transport this grain back."
Ye Lin pondered for a moment, then looked at Chen Yu, "If we equip these soldiers with weapons made from underground ore, how confident are you?"
Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then gently shook his head. "Not a single one. Even if they are equipped with weapons made from underground ore, these ordinary soldiers have not undergone martial arts training. They are already at a disadvantage against these large mutated beasts. The mutated beasts have extremely high defense with their fur. Even grenades can't kill them. How can we deal with them?"
"Moreover, our purpose this time is to bring back grain, so we need to travel light. Heavy weapons are simply not feasible. We can only bring some small-caliber howitzers or mortars. These cannons might be effective against a single mutated beast, but they are of little use against a horde of mutated beasts. Besides, how many shells can we carry..."
After listening to Chen Yu's analysis, Ye Lin's eyes darkened slightly. If there were still those six superhumans at this point, it wouldn't be so difficult. Unfortunately, these superhumans' hearts were blackened by profit, and they didn't think about anything else.
Jiang Yue, who was standing to the side, fell silent after hearing Chen Yu's words. After a long while, he suddenly spoke up, "I have another piece of news."
"What?" Ye Lin pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at Jiang Yue.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yue finally spoke, “When I came back today, I saw another superhuman in the urban area of City B. This superhuman is the one who wiped out the entire Team 3 before. She is an ice-type. Today, she had a conflict with Guan Zhiheng in the urban area, and the ice arrow she shot easily pierced through the metal shield that Guan Zhiheng had set up.”
"Personally, I feel that she is more powerful than those six other ability users combined!"
"Killed the three teams?" Chen Yu turned to look at Ye Lin, who was unaware of this.
Ye Lin nodded and explained the whole story to Chen Yu, "Jiang Yue also told me about this. When the rescue team was divided into teams, Team 3 was completely killed. Jiang Yue went to see the bodies, and all the bodies were tortured beyond recognition, even their internal organs were shredded."
Chen Yu frowned, his eyes filled with disapproval as he looked at Jiang Yue. "A person this cruel is even harder to control than Guan Zhiheng and the others. Are you sure you want to let someone like that join the team?"
Ye Lin also remained silent, somewhat hesitant. The actions of the previous ability users had indeed made him have a negative impression of them.
On the contrary, Jiang Yue insisted on opposing Chen Yu's words, "Killing is not terrible, but having no principles is terrible. You should have heard of this person. She is the owner of those two mutant dogs. If she can raise dogs like that, it is clear that she is not a murderer. She may have had a reason for killing. Maybe it was because Team 3 attacked first? We do not know the situation at the time, so we cannot generalize."
Ye Lin's eyes lit up. It turned out to be the owner of those two dogs. That was worth a try. The two dogs became famous in the base because they didn't attack people unprovoked. Just like Jiang Yue said, being able to raise such dogs meant that their owner was a person of principle.
