Chapter 2

The military transport vehicles quickly surrounded the abandoned factory. The helicopter circled in the sky and the searchlights shone back and forth.

The doors of the cars opened, and countless soldiers in black combat uniforms and all kinds of weapons jumped out.

The first thing they did was to form a team of four and immediately spread out to occupy the various passages.

As they arrived, dozens of groups of people carrying all kinds of equipment went to various places.

They squatted at the edge of the abandoned factory and stuck some sticker threads that looked like electrocardiograms in the air. Then, they either checked the data of the instrument or desperately typed on the computer keyboard.

While waiting, Shen Fei secretly adjusted the channel of his earpiece and whispered, “Let me figure it out. This place is at least 8 acres!”

“Hiss, 8 acres? This, this is at least a second-class lair, right?” Huang Feng trembled.

Chen Zhengyi glared at Huang Feng but replied, “What are you shouting about? This is just a first-class lair.”

“A first-class lair is this big?” Huang Feng was shocked.

“It’s rare to see such strange things. I’ve even seen a first-class lair that covers an area of 100 acres. “Huang Feng,” Li Bin said, “Actually, you can see that we’re all equipped with hot weapons this time. There’s not a single cold weapon. You can tell that this must be a first-class lair. The higher-ups won’t joke about this.”

Huang Feng calmed down. Seeing Shen Fei counting with his fingers, he could not help but ask, “Brother Fei, what are you doing?”

“Haha, I’m calculating how much White Jade Rice can be planted in the 8 acres of land in this first-class lair. How much can be harvested every year, and how much we can get,” Shen Fei said.

“Yeah, according to the rules, whichever department has cleared the lair will get 10% of the harvested resources. How much do you think we will get?” Li Bin was interested.

“I can only increase it by one kilo per month at most. Well, there are too many people. There are three squadrons!” Shen Fei said helplessly.

“Better than nothing though. It’ll be enough for a few days if you are thrifty.” Li Bin sighed.

On the other hand, Huang Feng was a little excited. One kilo more per month was not a small number to him.

“Well, what are the higher-ups thinking? It’s just a first-class lair. We can take care of it with just one squadron! Why are there three squadrons here?” Shen Fei muttered unhappily.

“Don’t talk bullsh*t! How long would it take for a squadron to clear out such a large first-class lair? If an accident happens, how should we deal with it?” Chen Zhengyi said solemnly.

“Understood. The higher-ups want security.” Shen Fei sighed.

However, after he stopped for a moment, he complained, “However, isn’t this unsealing team too slow? Not skilled enough?”

Just as Chen Zhengyi was about to say something, a loud roar sounded, “Point A unsealed!” “Point C unsealed!” “Point F unsealed!”

Following the shouts of the unsealing team and the evacuation of the unsealing team, the surrounding teams began to enter combat mode.

As expected, as the last unsealing team left, everyone heard a crisp crack. Then, the abandoned factory that was still clear in front of them suddenly turned into a black-and-white photo.

[Attack!] An order came from his earpiece.

The soldiers surrounding the factory immediately charged in like ferocious tigers. Then, they disappeared one by one as if they had disappeared into the scene.

Immediately after, the black-and-white photo-like abandoned factory began to ripple like water.

Lin Zhendong, who had been standing on top of the abandoned water tower, saw the abandoned factory that was wrapped in a blood-red light suddenly dim, and the color began to fade rapidly. It started to shake, and holes began to appear on the light screen.

“It’s in!” He couldn’t help but grin.

Looking around, the spies that had been marked earlier had begun to move forward. Without hesitation, they jumped out and directly jumped down from a height of more than ten meters.

The cement ground cracked open when he landed on the ground.

He stood up and looked at the cracked ground. He shook his head unhappily and whispered, “I can’t reach the peak of my cultivation. It’s all because half of my resources were taken away! ”

Then, he moved at a speed of several meters per second and quickly passed through the buildings. When he was 100 meters away from the abandoned factory and saw the warning light blocking the road, he stopped.

With a sudden leap, he stepped on a few protruding points of the buildings on the side and lightly flew to the top floor.

At such a close distance, he could clearly see the abandoned factory in front of him under the helicopter’s searchlight. It looked like a black-and-white photo.

Lin Zhendong first looked at it with his naked eye, then activated the chip’s function to take a look. He nodded in satisfaction. “Such a big first-class lair. I’m sure I’ll be able to pick up some good stuff.”

Then, he silently looked at the old factory that continued to ripple like water.

Everyone knew that this meant that someone was attacking and clearing the monsters in the lair.

When the black-and-white photo completely shattered and the old factory regained its color, it meant that the lair had been cleared.

How did the original lair come about? No one knew, because recorded history could be traced back to the earliest mythological era of mankind.

However, those were scattered. In a decade or even a century, at most, one or two would appear around the world.

The trend of large-scale burrows appearing had been seen during the First World War, but the real outbreak was during the Second World War.

The vast and bloody slaughter and destruction of humans were like filling the lairs with energy, causing countless lairs to appear all over the world.

This lair was very strange. It could appear anywhere and silently accumulate power.

When the energy was fully accumulated, it would explode outward, shooting out all kinds of strange monsters nurtured in the lair.

Before the explosion, even if one was in the lair, one would not be able to discover the existence of the lair. It was as if it existed in another space.

Most of the monsters ejected from these lairs were brainless and would wantonly kill all creatures that were not from their lairs.

That was right. The two lairs were mortal enemies. There was no place for them to coexist, let alone humans and other life forms.

It was also because of the lair’s wanton destruction that the Second World War was not as fierce as it seemed. The countries that were originally fighting were forced to cooperate to clear out the endless lairs.

However, as more and more lairs were cleared by humans, the most intelligent of humans finally invented a technology that could detect the existence of lairs in advance. They invented a technology that could break through the hidden barriers of lairs in advance, achieving the advantage of discovering, attacking, and eliminating them first.

After doing this, it could be guaranteed that the appearance of the lair would not bring too many casualties, nor would it cause social unrest.

Only then did humans have the heart to study whether the lair could bring benefits.

Other strange discoveries aside, the most important point was that the land left behind after the lair was destroyed could be developed for agriculture, animal husbandry, and fishing.

The agricultural, animal husbandry, and fishery products developed in the lair ruins contained unique energy that could be easily absorbed by humans. It allowed humans to learn the various magical powers of the lair monsters and it was a power that came with no side effects.

Once this discovery was made, it went without saying that the lair had become a strategic resource for various countries.

The original symbol of national power began to change to how many lair sites one had. How to use the least lair sites to produce the most products became the most advanced technology in the world.

For the technology to collect a few kilograms of grain for an acre of land, it was a small matter even if there was a bloody storm in the secret service world. It was normal for the two countries to have a military conflict because of this.

It was not strange for some countries to launch an invasion war for the sake of some special and huge lair ruins.

Therefore, even though the Second World War ended 50 years ago, everyone was still wary of the outbreak of the Third World War. For this reason, all countries were very cautious. However, there was no real peace in the world. Local wars and low-intensity wars were everywhere.
