376: Chapter 376 Abnormalities in Fengtian City

The underground base in Batuo City is still under construction, so these new production chambers can only be built in Binjiang.

Currently, there are only 1,600 Worker Bee Robots, and it will take another month to upgrade all chambers to Level 5. During this month, Oriental Chen plans to completely build the base in Batuo City.

In addition to the base in Batuo City, a sufficient number of watchtowers also need to be established along the border with Olos Country to the north and the border with Huaguo to the south.

Thus, Ulan Country will be completely under his control.

Ever since Gong Kaiming's secret letter incident today, Oriental Chen understood that it was time to make full preparations. It would be best if the Huaguo Assembly and the military could maintain a good cooperative relationship with him, so his Firefly Project would not be severely interfered with. But once the Assembly decided to turn hostile, he would be very passive without a fallback plan.

He had this in mind when he chose to expose the Simulation Spider Robots a few months ago. Besides showcasing his technological strength, it was also a show of force. Those with ulterior motives would have to think twice before turning hostile after knowing his strength.

Around ten in the evening, Oriental Chen finished these tasks and was about to rest.

But then Qu Zhengping suddenly sent a message.

Qu Zhengping and the other 17 infiltrators had been posing as protectors of the Red Lotus Sect, assisting Weng Peng in causing trouble while also sending some zombies to various cooperative Settlements.

He sent this message because he discovered an abnormal situation in Fengtian City, Liaoshen Province.

Fengtian City is an extra-large city, with 9 Settlements established. Among them, the Qipanshan Settlement to the north is a cooperative Settlement of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce.

"Commander, millions of zombies and nearly 100,000 armed civilians have been discovered in Fengtian City. There are three suspicious points:", "1. To my knowledge, Fengtian City was thoroughly cleared by the Northeast Military Region a few months ago, and the zombies were almost completely eliminated.", "2. The weapons equipped by the civilians are uniformly K8 assault rifles. Although this gun is domestically produced, the military rarely equips it; it is mainly used for export.", "3. These zombies and civilians are surprisingly coexisting peacefully. All zombies are concentrated north of the Hun River in the urban area, while all civilians are stationed south of the Hun River. It is clear that this was intentionally arranged by someone.", "My deduction is that these zombies and armed civilians have all been controlled by the Red Coat Sect.", "Report concluded."

Since the training of the second batch of base cadets ended, Oriental Chen had unified the address for him by the base's Special Operations Team and infiltrators to Commander.

"Skylark, secretly infiltrate Jiangbei and deploy the Ultrasonic Emitter. No matter where these zombies come from or what their purpose is, they must all be eliminated. At the same time, suspend the harassment of the Qipanshan Settlement and closely monitor the movements of the armed civilians south of the Hun River." Oriental Chen issued the order.

The scale of this group of zombies is too large; they cannot be allowed to easily attack the Settlement. It's not that he is worried about these zombies causing any damage to the Settlement; it's mainly that he doesn't want the Red Coat Sect members to realize that such an attack is ineffective. Otherwise, they wouldn't obediently send zombies to their doorstep.

"Received!" Qu Zhengping replied.

After the communication ended, Oriental Chen was not in the mood to rest and sat on the sofa, thinking quietly.

He then asked Xiao Lin to pull up a map of the area around Fengtian City, pondering as he looked at it.

There are a few questions he hasn't figured out yet:

First: Where did these civilians come from, and why would they obey the Red Coat Sect's orders? From past situations, the Red Coat Sect's method of controlling people was to make them take medicine, and it was always done secretly, not gathered like this.

Second: If it is as Qu Zhengping said, and this K8 assault rifle is mainly for export, then where did they get it from?

Third: What is the purpose of their gathering here?

He doesn't need to investigate these questions himself; he just needs to notify Suo Tonghua of the Northeast Military Region. Even if the military doesn't interfere with the internal affairs of the Settlement, in this situation, he would definitely not ignore it.

"But how do I notify him?" Oriental Chen pondered.

Direct notification is certainly not an option. If Suo Tonghua asked him how he knew, he wouldn't be able to explain clearly.

"I've got it." Oriental Chen thought for a moment and came up with a solution.

"Hello, Commander Yan, sorry to bother you so late." Oriental Chen called Yan Zhengping.

"No problem, what's up?" Yan Zhengping asked with a yawn.

"It's like this, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce branch at the Qipanshan Settlement in Fengtian City, Liaoshen Province, just reported that they sent a few people to Fengtian urban area to carry out a mission, but they later lost contact." Oriental Chen said.

"You want me to tell Suo Tonghua to arrange for someone to go look for them?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"That's not necessary. The Chamber of Commerce has already arranged for a plane to go look for them, but they didn't find them." Oriental Chen said.

"Then why are you calling...?" Yan Zhengping asked. He didn't think Oriental Chen called to chat.

"It's like this, after they returned, they reported an important situation, saying that nearly 100,000 armed civilians were gathered in the area south of the Hun River in Fengtian urban area, all equipped with uniform K8 assault rifles. This is very abnormal, and I think it's necessary for you to go take a look." Oriental Chen said.

"What? Is the news reliable?" Yan Zhengping suddenly raised his voice.

"How would I know? That's what the people who came back said. You can distinguish the truth from falsehood yourselves." Oriental Chen intentionally feigned ignorance, not wanting to be responsible for the aftermath.
