44: Chapter Special Items, Experts Gathered
"Rampant, too rampant! Tens of thousands of civilians are dead. How are we going to explain this to the higher-ups?"
"Not only the citizens, but the Martial Security Bureau in each city and some private organizations have been looted. Since when has the Beast God Sect been so crazy?"
"Each city has lost an average of eight Martial Master Realm experts. Now, even their bodies can't be found."
"And that Blood Wolf Divine General, the Beast God Sect even deployed a Martial General Realm expert. Are they preparing for a full-scale war with our Jiangning District?"
In the conference room, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt like you could wring water from it. Everyone's face was filled with shock and anger.
The dim light illuminated anxious faces, and the air was thick with a sense of impending storm.
"We must take immediate action. We cannot let this evil force continue to be so arrogant, and we must give the citizens of the Five Cities an explanation!"
A Middle-aged man in military uniform with shining epaulets stood up, his voice firm and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"That's right, we must completely eliminate the Beast God Sect in the Five Cities and restore peace to the people!" another person in charge from the Martial Security Bureau echoed, his eyes flashing with unquestionable determination.
"However, we also have to admit that the scale of the Beast God Sect's operation and the cruelty of their methods far exceeded anything in the past.
They were clearly prepared, and we must respond cautiously to avoid being caught off guard again."
An elderly strategic advisor slowly spoke, his voice low but each word hitting the mark and getting straight to the point.
"I suggest that we first activate the emergency plan, strengthen the security defenses of each city, especially focusing on key areas that may become targets of attack."
The military commander took over, quickly deploying the next action plan. "At the same time, we must quickly ascertain the true purpose of the Beast God Sect's actions and the forces supporting them. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemy can we be victorious in every battle."
"In addition, I propose forming a special action team composed of the top elites from our Five Cities Military Department and the Martial Security Bureau. They will go deep behind enemy lines to gather intelligence, find, and destroy the Beast God Sect's key strongholds."
A rather young Captain from the Martial Security Bureau volunteered, his eyes flashing with killing intent towards the Beast God Sect and a dedication to justice.
"This is a very good suggestion. The special action team is the key to breaking the deadlock."
A high-ranking officer from the Military Department nodded in agreement, then looked around.
"Everyone, now is not the time for us to shirk responsibility or blame each other. The safety of Great Xia and the well-being of the people rest upon us. We must unite and overcome these difficult times!"
"But we don't know the whereabouts of the Beast God Sect and the force that attacked the Martial Security Bureau situation at all. How should we handle this?"
Ye Jun said in a deep voice, "If we can't find the exact location of the enemy, our actions will definitely alert them."
"We were prepared for this. The higher-ups attach great importance to this matter. This time, we will not only give the citizens of the Five Cities an explanation, but also deter those rats lurking in our Great Xia."
A Middle-aged man with a rough face said in a booming voice. Beside him were two figures, a man and a woman, both with extraordinary temperaments.
"Right, allow me to formally introduce you. This is Captain Lu Yi, sent down by the higher-ups to support us."
A leader from the Martial Security Bureau pointed to the Middle-aged man who had just spoken, then pointed to the two people beside him. "This is Lin Shao, and this is Su Ya. Let's..."
Lu Yi directly raised his hand to interrupt the person. "Alright, no need for nonsense. Let's get to work now."
As he spoke, he took out a map covering the Five Cities, and then took out a strange compass.
"Is there anything that belongs exclusively to Blood Wolf or the person who attacked the Martial Security Bureau force?"
Everyone looked at the compass with curiosity, wanting to ask something, but feeling the coldness emanating from the three of them, they didn't ask.
A moment later, a figure walked into the conference room, holding a box in his hand.
"Open it!"
"Yes!"
The person obeyed the order and opened it. Inside, there were eight exquisite transparent boxes, in which several severely damaged small insects could be clearly seen.
"What is this?"
Someone couldn't help but ask. After all, in such a serious occasion, they brought out a few dead insects?
"Report, these were found in the brains of those who attacked the Martial Security Bureau force. Although most of them were completely shattered.
But through our efforts, we still found eight insect corpses that were not severely damaged.
After our examination, this type of insect is not a species found in our Great Xia at all. In fact, no similar species has been found globally."
"And then what? Is it rare to have new species in this day and age? Just get to the point!"
Someone interrupted impatiently. Although the others didn't speak, their expressions conveyed the same meaning.
"Yes, according to eyewitnesses and survivors, among the people who attacked them, there were not only members of the Beast God Sect, but also some members of the Martial Security Bureau.
However, some of them had already died in battle, but reappeared and joined the battlefield, combined with the fact that these people couldn't be killed.
We have reason to suspect that they were controlled by this unknown type of insect, and thus carried out killings and robberies.
And the Master of these insects is the green-robed woman who attacked our Martial Security Bureau, which is why we brought these out."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, and a hint of fear and apprehension appeared in their eyes as they looked at the insects.
They thought the Beast God Sect was already difficult enough to deal with, but they didn't expect this thing that could control people to suddenly appear now.
Lu Yi's gaze swept back and forth between the compass and the transparent boxes, his expression serious.
"This compass can guide us to the location of a specific target based on the aura left behind. But the premise is that we need a medium that is closely connected to the target."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the insect corpses. "These insects are likely the bridge connecting us to the enemy."
"Prepare yourselves, we need to conduct an experiment immediately." Lu Yi ordered, and then he walked towards the subordinate holding the box, personally selected what appeared to be the most complete insect corpse, carefully took it out, and placed it in a groove in the center of the compass.
As the insect corpse was placed, the pointer on the compass began to turn slowly, finally settling on a direction, and at the same time, a location on the map flashed red light.
"On the outskirts of Mingde City." Lu Yi said in a deep voice, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone in the conference room.
"All personnel assemble, bring necessary equipment, and gather all available forces. We will depart immediately.
Remember, our mission is to find that green-robed woman and capture her. If possible, see if we can rescue the remaining people."
"Understood!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression became serious, and they quickly took action. Only Ye Jun's expression was unreadable, as if he was thinking about something.
