"First squad entering the Nameless Void."
"Second squad entering the Nameless Void."
"Third..."
"No threats detected for now."
"All squads are ready."
Listening to the reports from each squad, Zhao Ruifeng nodded and said solemnly, "The 'Mending the Heavens' operation begins!"
At once, on the main screen, drone after drone flew toward the enormous gap high in the sky. When they reached the midpoint, they split into several squads and headed for different parts of the gap's edge.
After reaching the edge of the gap, some of the drones activated the instruments they carried and fired beams of light that landed along the edge of the Yanfu gap.
Everyone craned their necks and waited quietly for the results.
But everyone in the hall looked tense, unconsciously clenching their fists.
Zhao Ruifeng, meanwhile, smoked one cigarette after another.
When there were already three cigarette butts in the ashtray, the gap on the main screen finally began to tremble. Then, its edges showed signs of closing inward.
"It worked!"
"The computer shows that the Yanfu gap has begun shrinking!"
"It worked! We really did it!"
The people cheered, tears of joy filling their eyes.
It was no wonder they were so excited. If these Yanfu gaps could not be closed, the entire world would be submerged by Nether Particles in less than a month.
Time passed slowly. More than an hour later, the Yanfu gap had shrunk until it was almost impossible to see.
A moment later, it closed completely.
Seeing this, Zhao Ruifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes for a moment, then said, "Report the losses."
He received a report soon after.
During this operation, a large quantity of Primordial Stone Fragments had been consumed—one-third of the Strategic Affairs Department's reserves in total.
