Defense Force Commander Wang Weiguo is a middle-aged man in his fifties with signs of staying up late for a long time on his face.
At this moment, he was studying tomorrow's defense rotation plan with his staff in front of the map.
When I received the call, Wang Weiguo had just lit a cigarette.
He listened to the report in the receiver, paused briefly with his fingers holding the cigarette, then took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the smoke.
"I know. I'll go to No. 3 Ping immediately and inform Lao Li."
Wang Weiguo put down the phone and simply explained to the slightly confused staff, "We will discuss the plan later. Comrade Lin Yi from Helu City is coming over, I will pick it up."
On the other side, Li Changming, chairman of the comprehensive management committee of the settlement, an old man with gray hair wearing glasses, is reviewing a plan for adjusting food rations.
After the secretary came in softly to announce, he put down the documents and rubbed his brows.
"Come here now? Overnight?"
Li Changming was a little surprised, but quickly returned to normal, "Let's go to No. 3 Ping. In addition, let the logistics prepare a simple reception room and prepare hot tea."
There was no cheering or too much discussion, but a mixture of anticipation, nervousness and uncertainty quietly filled the hearts of the informed senior executives.
The name Lin Yi, along with the notification of Supreme Command Center appointing him as East Peak Military Academy Principal and Source Martial Strategic Defense Army Commander, already has a different weight in the hearts of senior officials in each settlement.
An hour later, several temporarily installed bright lights illuminated the No. 3 landing pad.
President Wang Weiguo Commander and Li Changming are already waiting there, followed by several staff members.
The night wind was chilly, but no one spoke, and everyone's eyes turned to the northeastern night sky from time to time.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed staff member whispered, "Here we come!"
In the deep night sky, a vague silver-white light point that almost blended into the night appeared quietly.
It was silent but approaching at an extremely fast speed.
Soon, it hovered steadily a few meters above the ground, and then landed softly in the center of the ground.
This is a silver-white spherical aircraft with smooth shape and full of technology, which is incompatible with the surrounding environment.
The hatch slid open silently.
A figure wearing an ordinary dark combat uniform stepped out, with a tall figure and a calm face. He was none other than Lin Yi.
His appearance was not accompanied by any exaggerated momentum, but the moment his feet landed on the ground, it seemed that the air in the entire venue was stagnant for a moment.
Under the strong light, Lin Yi's figure was stretched very long.
His eyes calmly swept across the welcoming crowd, and finally landed on Wang Weiguo and Li Changming.
Seeing the number one practitioner in the country, or even the world, actually appear in front of him, even though his face was very young, only the same age as the younger generation in his family, Wang Weiguo still straightened his back subconsciously, and Li Changming adjusted his glasses.
The two of them hurried forward to greet him.
"Principal Lin, it's been a hard journey!" Wang Weiguo spoke first, with a loud voice.
Li Changming also said immediately, "Welcome to Jinling City Settlement, I am Li Changming from the management committee. I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly."
Lin Yi also stepped forward quickly. When he saw that the two of them were humble and showed no intention of reaching out, he first stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the two of them in turn.
"The situation is urgent, no need to be polite."
Lin Yi's voice was clear and calm, and he went directly to the topic, "I checked the energy response on the way, and the expansion situation of the nest is indeed not optimistic. So, I will clean it up first."
Lin Yi's words stunned both Wang Weiguo and Li Changming.
Clean up?
Before they could fully understand the meaning of these words, they saw Lin Yi turning around neatly and boarding the silver-white spherical aircraft again.
The hatch is closed.
The next moment, Little Flying Ball rose up from the ground silently, turned into a stream of light, shot straight towards the distant lair shrouded in darkness, and disappeared into the night.
A group of staff and senior executives were left standing looking at each other.
"This"
Li Changming looked at the disappearing light spot and was speechless for a moment.
It was Wang Weiguo who reacted first. A flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and then he slapped his thigh suddenly. "Let's go to the combat control room!"
The group of people didn't bother to ask any more questions, and followed Wang Weiguo in a hurry to the combat control room located deep in the command building.
In the monitoring room, the lights were bright, and various screens flashed complex data and maps.
When the staff on duty saw several leaders from the highest level of the settlement suddenly swarming over, they quickly stood up and saluted.
Wang Weiguo hurriedly returned the greeting and immediately locked his eyes on the largest source energy distribution map on the main screen on the wall.
The area representing the nest territory is covered with dense red dots, which looks very frightening.
And at the edge of the Red Sea, a green light spot with "3300" on the side was moving rapidly toward the depths of the large lair's territory.
"As expected."
Wang Weiguo murmured, staring at the screen.
However, the next scene left everyone a little confused.
They saw the green light spot quickly stop somewhere in the hinterland of the lair, and then, the source energy value displayed next to it began to decrease very regularly: -30, -30, -30
But strangely, the surrounding dense sea of red dots representing Abyssal Beast does not seem to show any obvious signs of reduction.
With the strength of the first person in Blue Star, he continued to consume source energy but did not kill a large number of enemies?
What is this doing?
Some people have questions in their minds.
Li Changming frowned and observed for a moment. After all, he was the person in charge of managing the entire settlement, and his thinking was more rigorous.
He suddenly thought of something and told the technician operating the monitor next to him, "Adjust the display filter and temporarily block targets with energy response lower than 1,000 points."
"Yes!"
The technician immediately performed a few operations on the console.
In an instant, the picture on the main screen became clear.
Most of the dense red dots that were originally numbing the scalp have disappeared, leaving only a lot of sparse, but individual light dots with strong energy response are scattered in the lair area.
And it was in this "purified" field of vision that the action pattern of the green light spot Lin Yi instantly became extremely clear.
I saw that Source Energy Value next to the green dot jumped -30 every time. Almost at the same moment, there must be a red dot nearby with a source energy response of about 5000 points. It disappeared from the screen instantly like a candle that was extinguished.
One, two, three.
The green dots stayed stably in place, Source Energy Value slowly descending at a fixed rhythm, while the surrounding red dots with strong energy representing at least Stardust level Abyssal Beast were eliminated one by one with precision and efficiency.
There was silence in the monitoring room.
Only the faint buzzing of the equipment and people's gradually increasing breathing could be heard.
"Sure enough, this is catching the big and letting go the small."
Li Changming looked at this weird "hunting" scene on the screen and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, expressing everyone's thoughts.
