468: Chapter 468 Urgent Trip to Sunlight City

“Xiao Lin, order the Bee Queen to search Budapest City and collect any crystalss it can find,” Oriental Chen commanded.

“Understood, Commander.”

Whether or not there are zombies in Budapest, and how many, is currently an unknown.

However, Oriental Chen didn't care; whatever there was, was fine.

He had no plans to make any big moves there, just to build some observation outposts.

“What kind of weapon was that blue beam of light? Has it been analyzed?” Oriental Chen continued to ask.

“Commander, it’s difficult to conduct a comprehensive analysis based solely on video images, but the preliminary judgment is that it’s very likely an ion cannon,” Xiao Lin replied.

“It seems the Atis, who disappeared for 300 million years, still have some tricks up their sleeves. I’ve always wondered, it’s one thing for these previously vanished civilizations to suddenly reappear, but how did their technology get passed down?” Oriental Chen said.

“Currently unknown,” Xiao Lin answered.

Oriental Chen didn’t expect her to answer.

Artificial intelligence is good at sticking to the facts, analyzing, and drawing conclusions, but asking her to make assumptions or conjectures is a bit difficult for her.

In Xiao Lin's view, assumptions without evidence are meaningless.

The Atis of Okshung, the Mayans of America, and the Tasman Civilization of Australia, without exception, inherited their former civilizations—there is no doubt about this. Otherwise, they couldn't have developed so quickly within a year.

However, it’s easy to understand why these civilizations have remained low-key and silent all this time. They needed time to develop.

It’s just that their ultimate goal is unknown.

“Ding-a-ling~”

Yan Zhengping requested a call.

“Hello, Commander Yan, is something wrong?”

“Xiao Chen, where are you now?”

“Bato City.”

“Is it convenient for you to come to Sunlight City?”

“What happened?” Oriental Chen frowned.

“You’ll know when you get here,” Yan Zhengping didn’t elaborate.

“Okay, I’ll be there in three hours,” Oriental Chen hesitated for a moment before replying.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

After speaking, Yan Zhengping hung up the phone.

“Xiao Lin, analyze the recent situation in Sunlight City and see if there’s anything unusual.”

Even if Oriental Chen was going, he had to do his homework first.

“Understood, Commander, compiling now.”

Two minutes later.

“Commander, the crystals output in Sunlight City has sharply decreased in the past few days. Other indicators are normal,” Xiao Lin reported.

“Sharply decreased? By how much?” Oriental Chen asked with a frown.

“Decreased by more than 90%,” Xiao Lin replied.

“Hiss~, that much?” Oriental Chen was a little incredulous.

“Analyze it in detail and figure out why it sharply decreased.”

“Commander, the data shows a decrease in raw materials,” Xiao Lin replied.

The so-called raw materials were naturally the giant scorpions.

Oriental Chen guessed that Yan Zhengping calling him over was probably related to this matter.

“Check the data for Lasa City, is it the same?” Oriental Chen asked.

Lasa and Sunlight City are two important strongholds against the scorpion invasion.

Two minutes later.

“Commander, Lasa City is the same.”

“Looks like it’s confirmed,” Oriental Chen nodded.

After understanding what happened, Oriental Chen boarded a flying vehicle and flew towards Sunlight City.

To ensure safety, Dai Zheng also arranged for two warships to follow.

October 14, 2056 AD.

4:20 PM.

Lasa Province, Sunlight City.

Inside a heavily guarded detached house.

“Commander Yan, why did you call me so urgently? What’s the matter?” Oriental Chen asked.

“Someone wants to see you,” Yan Zhengping said, his face as grim as if he had swallowed a fly.

“Oh, the Speaker, right?” Oriental Chen immediately understood.

“Yes, and no. You’ll know when you go in.” Yan Zhengping made a gesture to invite him in.

“What’s with all the mystery? I’m telling you, don’t try to trick me!” Oriental Chen said, squinting, then stepped up the stairs.

The entire Sunlight City was under his control, so he wasn't worried about anyone harming him.

“Hahaha! You, you still think of yourself as a callow youth?”

“That’s what Old Qin said!”

Before even entering, Oriental Chen heard people chatting inside.

“Report!”

Just as Oriental Chen was about to speak, the guard at the door shouted loudly.

“Enter!”

“Reporting, Speaker, he has arrived.”

“Oh, please, quickly!”

The Soldier saluted and walked out.

“Please come in!” The Soldier extended his left hand, making a gesture inward.

His face was expressionless.

Oriental Chen stepped inside.

By the window, there was an antique tea table, where an old man and the Speaker were sitting face to face, drinking tea.

Although he hadn't met the Speaker before, he often saw him on TV, so he definitely recognized him.

He had no impression of the old man beside him; he must not have met him.

However, since he could chat and laugh with Baili Ji, and even be respectfully called Old Qin by him, his status was probably not low.
