Chapter 1568: Chapter 901: News from Guangdong Province
“So Pei Yuanhu ran off to the Divine Country?”
Shi Lianhai looked at Guan Maocai and couldn’t help but ask.
Guan Maocai nodded slightly, “Yes, not just him, the people who fled from the Hawk Faction went to the Divine Country too.”
“Hmm? Who else?” Shi Lianhai curiously asked, “With Yuan Shijie dead, who else does the Hawk Faction have that’s formidable?”
Guan Maocai glanced at him and said, “Have you forgotten who helped Yuan Shijie enter the gene recombination stage in the first place?”
Shi Lianhai was stumped for a moment, then suddenly remembered.
The Hawk Faction was so hardline at the time, they could single-handedly force the Three Great Sects to cower.
It wasn’t entirely because of Yuan Shijie; another crucial reason was that the Hawk Faction’s superpower technology level far surpassed the Three Great Sects!
The reason the Hawk Faction had such advanced superpower technology was because they had a powerful research team.
The head of this team was once the top scientific researcher in the entire military, known as Dr. Anbian Army.
This Dr. An was very low-key, and within the military Hawks, he was specifically responsible for the work of the research team.
If Shi Lianhai hadn’t specially assigned people to investigate, he wouldn’t have known such a person existed.
“Are you saying Anbian Army? That old man isn’t dead yet?” Shi Lianhai couldn’t help but ask.
Guan Maocai shook his head and said, “That old man is so low-key, how could he die so easily?”
“After Liang took over the Hawk Faction military, the old man fled with some experimental items from the laboratory.”
“I only heard from a mariner who came from the north some time ago, that’s when I learned that old fellow is doing quite well over there.”
“Now in the Divine Country, he’s even entered some Sacred Artifact Hall, specializing in handling rune technology items for the Divine Country.”
Shi Lianhai couldn’t help but ask, “So Pei Yuanhu followed him?”
“Probably, I suspect they’ve long had contact with each other.”
“Damn it, wasn’t Pei Yuanhu originally in the Dove Faction military? How did he end up with the Hawk’s Anbian Army?” Shi Lianhai didn’t understand.
Guan Maocai said, “What’s so strange about that? If they all escaped to the Divine Country, in such a place, both of them being from Linjiang would naturally stick together.”
Hearing this, Shi Lianhai felt it made sense.
He furrowed his brows and asked, “So the person you contacted from the Water God Sect is Pei Yuanhu?”
“How can it be? Pei Yuanhu is doing well over there, how could I possibly contact him? It’s one of his subordinates.”
“This guy is on his old track again, trying to preach in the Divine Country now.”
“However, preaching in the Divine Country isn’t ideal, so he thought of our people here, and sent someone over to find the remnants of the Water God Sect, hoping to gather them and grow again.”
“Ha, he’s got a lot of guts, developing the Water God Sect right under the nose of the Divine Country?” Shi Lianhai sneered.
Guan Maocai said, “You’ve got it wrong, it’s not developing the Water God Sect, but the Divine Country’s Water God Sect.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?” Shi Lianhai was puzzled.
Guan Maocai said, “I talked with the people from the Water God Sect. What they primarily worship now is still the Divine Country’s ‘God’. The so-called Water God is just a lesser deity under the God.”
“So Pei Yuanhu isn’t secretly developing it; he’s integrating the concept of the Water God Sect into the Divine Country. I suspect he’s got the authorization from above.”
When Shi Lianhai heard this, his eyes lit up instantly and he said, “Damn, if that’s the case, can’t our Earth Mother Sect do the same?”
Guan Maocai helplessly said, “What’s the use of talking crap now? You and I are both like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of Liang.”
Hearing this, Shi Lianhai sighed too, but then his gaze shifted and he suddenly said, “Wait a second, you said the Divine Country could stand up to Mengya and Kerry Technology for so many years, so their ‘God’ must be very powerful, right?”
“We can’t solve this damned Parasite Species ourselves, but going to the Divine Country might offer a solution?”
Shi Lianhai’s words immediately stirred something in Guan Maocai’s mind.
“Old Shi, I’ve just realized you’re a bloody genius.”
Guan Maocai instantly became spirited, standing up and saying, “You’re right, we can’t solve it ourselves, but others might be able to.”
“Let’s go to the Divine Country together!”
Shi Lianhai also grinned, “Alright!”
——
In Linjiang City, on Yangshan Island, in the Leader’s Mansion.
Ding Yan, Zhao Kai, and Li Qinghua among others gathered in the meeting room.
Ding Yan hosted the meeting on behalf of Liang Yuan.
“Everyone, Mr. Liang has sent back news.”
At this, everyone raised their heads eagerly, waiting for Ding Yan’s response.
Ding Yan smiled and said, “Mengya suffered a great defeat, Jin Shirong is dead!”
“Hahaha! Mr. Liang is formidable!”
“Great, those Mengya bastards are finally dead!”
“Is Jin Shirong dead? All his avatars too? Let’s hope there’s no overlooked fish escaping the net.”
“Captain Ding, when is Mr. Liang coming back?”
Everyone chimed in with questions about the battle details.
Ding Yan gestured for calm and said, “Everyone, I don’t know the specifics yet, we only have preliminary intelligence from the front lines.”
“Once Mr. Liang returns, you’ll all be informed.”
“In the meantime, we need to quickly arrange for personnel to head north and take over the resources of Mengya and Kerry Technology for Mr. Liang.”
“Also, we need to bring some Mengya residents to the island, we can’t let them gather, they must be dispersed and resettled.”
Everyone nodded immediately; this was a usual tactic for Yangshan.
After any power is broken, it must undergo restructuring. Otherwise, if left unchecked, the remaining people might gather with other intentions.
The people Liang Yuan brought this time are mostly experts in gene recombination, all belonging to mid- to high-level positions, but the grassroots on the Bud side also need to be re-educated and managed.
Once the middle and upper levels are reshuffled, it’s time for a complete change of the grassroots personnel.
In short, efforts must be made to thoroughly transform Bud into the likeness of Yangshan.
Everyone began offering their advice one after another.
At this moment, a figure rushed in from outside.
Feeling the hurried footsteps of the newcomer, everyone instinctively turned to look.
They saw Monsoon from Gale Camp striding over. He looked around before finally rushing to Ding Yan’s side and asked, “Captain Ding, when is Mr. Liang coming back?”
“What’s the matter?” Ding Yan asked curiously.
“Our people in the south have caught some spies, from places like Guangdong Province.”
Ding Yan was astonished: “Where?”
“Guangdong Province!”
Ding Yan was a bit taken aback. Guangdong Province is nearly a thousand kilometers from Linjiang City. How could anyone reach Linjiang City from such a distant place?
This was somewhat incredible.
She immediately thought of something and said, “Has a floating island from Guangdong Province entered Linjiang City?”
Aside from floating islands, she couldn’t imagine how anyone could come from afar, crossing the ocean.
Monsoon quickly nodded and said, “Yes, and not just one; our people discovered them three hundred kilometers south.”
Now that Yangshan has ships, its patrol range far exceeds the three hundred kilometers surrounding Yangshan Island.
Everything in the vicinity falls under Yangshan’s surveillance.
Naturally, in such a large range, besides inspecting for large mutant beasts, it must also be vigilant of any other hidden dangers.
Several large floating islands had drifted into Linjiang City’s range, immediately catching the pilots’ attention, prompting them to report right away.
Monsoon’s words caused Ding Yan and the others to pause slightly.
Ding Yan quickly asked, “Have your people confirmed they’re from Guangdong Province?”
“Yes, our people have already initiated preliminary communication; they hope to enter Linjiang City to seek protection,” Monsoon said.
Ding Yan was startled: “Seek protection?”
Zhao Kai and others were also surprised and asked for explanations.
“Monsoon, what do you mean by seeking protection? Have they encountered some crisis?”
“Coming all the way from Guangdong Province, and seeking protection, what’s going on?”
“Guangdong Province is located in the southeast, with lower terrain. During the initial flood phase, casualties must have been severe. It’s not easy for them to survive. Has something happened?”
“Maybe fearsome mutant beasts have emerged from the depths of the ocean?”
“It’s hard to say; it’s near the sea, inherently unfathomable, giving rise to dreadful mutant beasts is entirely possible.”
“Indeed, I can’t imagine if top creatures like blue whales evolved into mutant beasts, how large would they become?”
Everyone began discussing one after another.
But Monsoon’s words caused everyone’s expressions to change.
He continued, “Ladies and gentlemen, it’s not mutant beasts; Guangdong people are being hunted down, with no choice but to flee here.”
“What?”
“Hunted down?”
Li Qinghua couldn’t help but ask, “What’s really going on?”
Ding Yan, Zhao Kai, and others also looked at Monsoon, waiting for him to continue.
They listened as Monsoon continued, “Guangdong Province is close to the southeast and not too far from Japan.”
“They were chased all the way by the Japanese, forced to flee north.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed!
“Seriously the Japanese?”
“Damn it, chased by the Japanese?”
“These damn Japanese have lost it? How dare they invade our Dragon Country?”
“There’s no more Dragon Country; the Japanese have probably long been submerged. Monsoon, the Japanese must also have control over several floating islands, right?” Li Xiangyang couldn’t help but ask.
Monsoon quickly nodded, “Yes, Japan has long been submerged, but they developed rapidly, quickly discovering floating islands and aerial islands, and advanced swiftly.”
“Guangdong’s development couldn’t match theirs, hence they’re being chased and attacked now.”
“Damn, how did the Japanese develop so fast? What were Guangdong people doing?” Shi Haizhu couldn’t help but curse.
Monsoon hurriedly replied, “It’s not that Guangdong people were incompetent; Japan was a country after all. Living on islands year-round, their crisis awareness is more heightened than ours on land.”
“That place is either an earthquake or a tsunami. They probably already had flood response measures long before, so when heavy rains and floods first appeared, they could handle it well.”
“Additionally, their government probably had related plans, always preparing for such scenarios.”
“What’s the current situation? Are the Japanese following them, chasing them down?” Zhao Kai couldn’t help but ask.
Monsoon shook his head, “Yes, but it’s a bit distant. These floating islands are quite fast in escaping; before entering Jiangnan Province, they stayed in other cities, receiving some aid from local powers.”
“However, according to them, other cities in our Jiangnan Province are also in dire straits, even though there are quite a few floating islands, none are a match for the Japanese.”
“Currently, among the few floating islands fleeing to Linjiang City, there are personnel from some cities south of Linjiang City.”
