129: Chapter 129 The Red Cult's Plan Was Disrupted

The Holy Emissary was the first to descend the ladder into the underground cultivation room, followed closely by several others.

Upon reaching the basement, the searchlights were turned on.

"What... what exactly is going on?" The Holy Emissary was also completely bewildered.

The searchlights illuminated every corner of the basement, but not a single mouse was found.

Every corner was also carefully inspected, and no cracks or mouse holes were discovered.

"Could these mice have disappeared into thin air?" The Holy Emissary wondered, utterly perplexed.

"My Lord Holy Emissary, could it be related to that Transmitter?" the man asked.

"Isn't that Transmitter an Ultrasonic Emitter? Can ultrasound make mice disappear?" The Holy Emissary retorted.

"This..." The man was speechless, unsure how to explain.

These mice were the result of two months of their painstaking efforts, and they never expected such an outcome.

"Has the Ultrasonic Emitter not been found yet?" The Holy Emissary asked.

"No! It's truly bizarre, it's as if that machine grew legs and ran away!" the man replied.

When the Southeast Military Region sent people to deploy the Ultrasonic Emitter, they thought a single Ultrasonic Emitter wouldn't cause any serious impact in a short time, so they didn't obstruct its installation.

The original plan was to simply dismantle it after they finished installing it and withdrew.

Unexpectedly, when they dug up the pit, it was already empty.

"Perhaps that Ultrasonic Emitter really does have a problem!" The Holy Emissary mused for a long time before speaking.

"So what do we do now?" the man asked.

"The Suiyang Anbu can no longer be stayed in. You stay put for now, and I'll make a decision when I return." With that, the Holy Emissary turned and left.

He needed to report this matter to his superiors. If zombies couldn't exist in the Settlement, it wouldn't just affect his area; it might even impact the grand plan of his superiors.

Perhaps even Oriental Chen hadn't anticipated that his ingenious move, leveraging the situation, would not only enhance his guild's influence but also incidentally dismantle a secret operation of the Red Coat Sect.

The Bee Queen's existence was unknown to everyone.

The Council, the Settlements, the military, and the Red Coat Sect were all unaware.

Yet, it was precisely these people who contributed their efforts to implant the Bee Queen into various Settlements.

This stroke of genius completely changed the future power dynamics of Huaguo.

Without these Bee Queens, a large portion of the Settlements might gradually perish in the future. The other portion would fall under the control of the Red Coat Sect.

But now it was different; the mysterious existence of the Bee Queen completely designated the Settlements as no-go zones for zombies. This way, not only did most Settlements escape disaster, but the Red Coat Sect's plan to achieve control through zombies would be impossible to achieve.

This also bought Oriental Chen time for his next phase of planning.

The Space Station's mission for him was to establish underground survival bases for most Settlements within three years, a long and arduous task. With the Bee Queen's protection, this plan could be implemented. Otherwise, even if underground bases were built, with the threat of zombies in front and the destruction by the Red Coat Sect behind, survival would still be an issue.

...

April 1, 2055.

This day marked the deadline for applications for the first batch of new recruits at the base.

"Xiao Lin, report the current application status for new recruits," Oriental Chen said.

"Commander, the current total number of applicants is 240," Xiao Lin replied.

"Hmm, good, this number looks much better!" Oriental Chen said with satisfaction.

"How is the production of transport aircraft within the base currently?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Reporting, Commander, all 10 transport aircraft have been completed," Xiao Lin replied.

"Hmm! Very good! How is the zombie clearing within Binjiang City progressing?" Oriental Chen continued to ask.

"All zombies within Binjiang City have been cleared," Xiao Lin replied.

"Hmm! Send a message to the infiltrators; the base will dispatch aircraft today to pick up the new recruits. Please have them prepare."

"At the same time, you draft a rigorous training and assessment plan. I hope to thoroughly understand the situation of each recruit through this training and assessment. Additionally, I plan to select 50 outstanding recruits from among them to be the first Special Operations Team of the base. Include this in the plan as well."

"Understood, Commander."

After the message was sent, the infiltrators successively sent back their locations and times.

Xiao Lin arranged the aircraft pick-up schedule based on the timetable.

10:00 AM.

A lawn in Binjiang City Park suddenly split open, and aircraft after aircraft flew out from underground, subsequently disappearing in all directions.

...

Southwest Military Region Headquarters.

"Commander Yan, I'm here to claim my people today!" Oriental Chen said over the satellite phone.

"Hmph! You brat! It was agreed at the time that you would borrow 10 assault team members, including Rong Po. How did you manage to abduct another 30 of my excellent soldiers?" Yan Zhengping had learned that Yan Fangfang had sent 30 recruits to Oriental Chen.

"Commander Yan, I was not aware of this. Perhaps it was your daughter's own decision?" Oriental Chen feigned reluctance, though in reality, he knew Yan Zhengping would not object at all.

Yan Zhengping was eager to place his people in Oriental Chen's base. If he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity, he would truly be a fool.
