Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 136 Anomalies in the Deep Sea

"The technical research here is on track, and there's not much we can do to help with the rest."

"After much thought, let's go back to the northern base! The construction there needs us more," Leng Yue said.

Here, they can only be considered researchers with some status. They had gained some fame because of Wu Ou and Qiao Yuwei.

However, not to mention that the research projects they brought have already been completed, even the subsequent technology development has been taken over by Ma Zhengzhong and Qiao Yuwei.

The remaining research projects, such as engraving technology and energy metal structure technology, are already at the third level or higher.

It's impossible to establish a dedicated research team here by relying solely on these resources; we can only conduct research in collaboration with others.

In comparison, it would be better to return to the northern base, where we can obtain top-tier scientific research support resources.

More importantly, it has been a month and Wu Ou has not sent any news back.

If they didn't know that his abilities were guaranteed, they would all have thought that Wu Ou had met with misfortune.

Furthermore, it seems that the government is not currently making any efforts to locate Wu Ou.

The most accurate information came about twenty days ago when Wu Ou sent back data on the environmental conditions on the plateau.

Furthermore, after receiving this information, the inquiries sent out were not answered.

Therefore, it's not even possible to determine whether these messages were sent at that time.

Another point is that abnormal weather was detected in the high-altitude snow-capped mountains, which made Leng Yue even more worried about Wu Ou's safety.

"You, you want to go find Wu Ou? You want to go to the plateau?" Qiao Yuwei glanced at them, and finally her gaze fell on Leng Yue.

"Yes! Is it not allowed?" Leng Yue's thoughts were exposed, so she no longer tried to hide them.

"It's very dangerous over there. The blizzard has even affected the climate in the desert and the Jincheng base. According to the investigation, the plateau, especially the area near the snow-capped mountains, may experience not only blizzards but also energy chaos and other disastrous weather."

"Going there now is suicide!" Qiao Yuwei shared the latest detection data.

The country is of course concerned about Wu Ou's situation, because it has been confirmed that there are no longer any human settlements on the plateau, which has completely become a paradise for animals and plants.

This was never a good thing to begin with. The country supported Wu Ou's trip there to investigate, hoping to determine the situation and then concentrate its efforts on restoration and development.

Furthermore, according to what she gleaned from Ma Zhengzhong, the first batch of mechs was used in the high plateau region.

"I've told you so much, you should understand what I mean!" Qiao Yuwei glanced at Leng Yue, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Okay! I'll trust you one more time." Leng Yue took a deep breath, turned around, and led the way into the room.

Having shared so much confidential information, they can leave if they want.

They would either sign a confidentiality agreement and be sent directly to the northern base, or they would have to stay and join the next operation.

Obviously, they couldn't choose the first option, because they were more interested in knowing Wu Ou's whereabouts.

In the air, large transport planes are flying overhead.

They were escorted by small fighter jets; these were people from the Camel Alliance.

Looking out the window at the places where lights had already appeared, a man in white took a sip of grape juice and exclaimed, "As expected of the Dragon Kingdom, in just over a month, at least fifteen large settlements have been restored, and more than a hundred small settlements have been restored."

"Who says otherwise! This is still the direction we're going; the other directions shouldn't be much different." A person next to him was looking at the beads in his hand.

"What I'm worried about now is that they won't be interested in our energy crystals. After all, their energy source batteries are much more convenient; their existing technology can be used!"

"A battery is a battery, and raw ore is raw ore."

Just like oil in the past, this energy crystal will definitely have more than one use. While no one is planning to expand outwards yet, we should find a reliable one as soon as possible.

That way, even if the secret of this thing can't be kept in the future, we can still sell energy as before." The former took the crystal from his hand.

"We need to live that way before disaster strikes, and we'll continue to live that way after disaster strikes..."

"What are you trying to say? If it weren't for the disaster, we would have temporarily put aside our differences in faith just to survive."

Do you really think we can keep those young people under our thumb forever?

Or do you really think those countries can tolerate us, who control energy resources, maintaining this current alliance?

As he fiddled with the things in his hands, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Young people have gained courage now, but they haven't encountered any real tough battles yet, and it's unknown how long they can maintain it."

But it's true that they lacked a broad perspective and didn't know just how powerful those other countries really were.

In short, our greatest use right now is to temporarily suppress them, and then find a reliable country to give them the opportunity to grow.

After more than a dozen fighter jets completed their escort handover in the air, the escort fighter jet group from the Shanghai base began its return flight.

Just as we were about to land, we suddenly received a message.

"Emergency order: Squad 3, proceed to Sea Area 15 outside the base to conduct bombing raids!"

"Squad 3 received!"

The squad leader's expression changed. After relaying the order to his team members, he led the way, changing course and flying towards the coastal area.

Meanwhile, at the Shanghai base.

"This is the third time, and the third time in the last ten days that the marine energy beasts have gone berserk." One person looked at the report in his hand and then looked up at a researcher beside him.

"Professor Guo, what are your thoughts on this unusual change?"

Professor Guo looked at the energy fluctuations on the screen, combined with the seawater data, and adjusted his glasses.

"Currently, this change does not appear to be due to the appearance of relics, nor does it seem to be a situation where a large number of fish have migrated due to an attack elsewhere."

Furthermore, even a mid-level Beast King could not possibly orchestrate such a large-scale beast tide attack.

"After all, this is the shore; they're not on their home turf here. How could they possibly do that!"

"Professor Guo, I did not mean to question you."

"But the reality is that these abnormal beast tides have already occurred!" A somewhat young soldier said anxiously.

Professor Guo didn't even glance at him, but instead pulled up another set of data. "But combining this information, we can still see some clues."

Another set of data shows that Qiong Island experienced a violent storm and beast tide two weeks ago.

The others are records of storms and animal tides suffered by the coastal countries and regions in the south.

"Professor Guo, are you saying that these beast tides have a source, that they are..." The older soldier was interrupted by Professor Guo before he could finish speaking.

"That's right, General Hu. The real source should be a high-level first-tier source energy beast king, hiding in the seabed and influencing those source energy beasts and the changes in the weather."

The shock we are experiencing now is just the beginning!
