Return countdown: 96:00:00.
Amid the towering mountains, a golden cockroach diligently dug through the soil, exposing the tender white roots buried beneath the great trees.
The cockroach swarm surged forward, devouring the loaches and spring cicada pupae underground, not even sparing the tree roots rich with moisture.
Xiao San sat atop the canopy and looked down the mountain. The lights of City No. 2 were embedded in the dark wilderness like a Milky Way that had suddenly appeared in a black universe.
"Finally, we're here," Xiao San thought emotionally, nearly moved to tears. He had been trekking through the wilderness these past few days, accompanied only by cockroaches, without even anyone to talk to.
It was too lonely!
At that moment, the one and only golden cockroach in the swarm flew up into the tree. It seemed to sense Xiao San's mood and nudged his calf with its head.
"What the hell do you understand?" Xiao San laughed and cursed, then kicked it off the canopy. It rolled away like a ball, but it did not care and continued digging holes. A simp got nothing.
Xiao San raised his wrist atop the canopy and carefully checked the time.
There was still one hour until the operation. At this time, the Garrison Troops were patrolling outside the city, covering an area within ten kilometers of the surrounding region.
The drainage channel Xiao San needed to reach happened to fall within the patrol zone.
Therefore, if a large swarm of cockroaches wanted to cross the border and enter City No. 2, they needed someone to help them. But the Parent's Association had said not to worry; everything had already been arranged.
Inside City 20.
Within the Mind Dojo, Kamishiro Yunyi, the new-generation leader of Kishare Gomen, smiled at Kamishiro Yunxiu before him.
