In just one day, I received more news: outsiders had appeared in both the northeast and the southeast.
These outsiders had entered through spacetime nodes. Although their numbers were not large, they had already caused a certain amount of panic in the local areas. They had attacked ordinary people, claiming many innocent lives.
Jiang Xiaohui was furious when he heard the news.
He became even more determined to go meet these outsiders himself.
"Something doesn't seem right," Ye Jinghong said.
I asked her what was wrong. She said, "The number of outsiders entering through the spacetime nodes is wrong. Think about it—if you were their leader, would you send only a few dozen people into one area?"
I narrowed my eyes. Ye Jinghong was right. What was the point of sending only a few dozen people to make a minor fuss? Their target was our entire world.
Since they had mastered transportation through spacetime nodes, they could have sent many more people.
"What do you think their plan is, then?" I asked.
"Those few dozen people are only meant to draw our attention. If I'm right, they've been steadily sending more people into our world through the spacetime nodes. But after entering, those people haven't acted immediately. They should be infiltrating us. Given enough time, they'll be able to complete large-scale infiltration. By then, it'll be difficult to find them one by one."
Ye Jinghong's words shocked me.
What she said made sense.
"The most urgent thing now is to immediately locate the spacetime nodes they opened and shut them down. That will stop them from transporting more personnel. Then we need to put every effort into finding the people who have already infiltrated us. We have to move fast!"
After hearing Ye Jinghong's suggestion, I immediately called Xie Yi.
