The summer breeze blew, stirring up the sand and rustling the Poplar Forest at the outskirts of Mo Bei City.
The Phecda members who guarded the place kept their eyes on their surroundings, especially the glowing portal next to a poplar tree.
It had been 3 days since Tian Xuan entered Dreamlands. In these 3 days, nothing happened but everyone was worried about the situation at Ulthar.
The scene at Poplar Forest was broadcasted on the big screen at the headquarters' command central through multiple surveillance cameras. Compared to the recent disasters, the staff's work was much more relaxed this time. They even had time to drink some tea, eat some food, and chat about things.
But this peace was suddenly shattered by a sudden change.
"Something's happening, something's happening!"
The colorful light at the portal started to flicker, something was coming out.
Lou Xiaoning, Jin Zhuzi, Chen Ziyuan and the other guards and the people at the command central tensed up. Someone hurried to report to Tong Ye's group. Suddenly, a figure walked out from the light. Then it was Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu.
Everyone's spirits were lifted, and they heaved a sigh of relief. There was no problem, there seemed to be no problem.
One after another, the 12 members of Tian Xuan returned to Phecda World.
Other than the linen clothes, they did not change physically or mentally. In fact, they appeared to have gained some color.
At that moment, they heard Gu Jun say, "Mission accomplished, no casualties!"
"Haha!" Lou Xiaoning laughed. She and the other guards did not let their guard down. It was not that they had complete trust in these 12 people, they still had to go through the quarantine procedure. However, they could not help but be happy that they had the ability to discern the situation.
The people at the command central were excited. Elder Tong rushed over to check on the situation at the scene.
Suddenly, a strange change occurred. The guards all widened their eyes, and the sound of a torrent filled the air.
More shadows surged out from the tunnel. They were short but rotund. They had grey fur and looked like raccoons or giant rats. They were the Zoogs. Soon, they filled the tunnel and then the whole forest.
Not only on the ground, but on the trees as well. Every poplar tree was covered with Zoogs. It was like the harvest season.
"It's fine, it's Lucky leading the first batch of Zoogs." Gu Jun explained immediately.
"How many Zoogs are coming?" Lou Xiaoning asked.
"A hundred thousand."
One hundred thousand Zoogs, everyone was shocked by the number but Gu Jun was not joking. What happened next proved that this was a real number. The Zoogs continued to spread around the poplar forest like an invasion.
Their tiny eyes looked around curiously, and there was an obvious greed in them.
They frantically slapped themselves and the ground, creating a sound like an earthquake.
"Where's the drumstick? Where's the drumstick? "
"There's nothing here, it's just sand."
"Have we been tricked here to do illegal labor?"
Lucky looked at the chaos and was annoyed. These Zoogs were fine when they were at the Enchanted Forest but now they were in a mess. He slapped the ground and said, "There will be chicken drumsticks and eggs, now stand still."
It was not easy to get 100,000 Zoogs to stand still.
It would not be easy to transfer them to an isolated base.
Phecda had already built some barracks near the poplar forest for Tian Xuan's team to stay in when they were isolated from the Zoogs. However, they did not expect there to be 100,000 Zoogs so the engineers had to get to work immediately.
To reward these Zoog friends, the logistics team transported a batch of fresh chicken meat from many chicken farms at Mo Bei.
Smoke curled up from chimneys. The aroma of roasted meat permeated the air.
Under the night sky, a meat forest was being built. The 100,000 fat Zoogs pounced on it impatiently. Their claws dug into the meat.
As they ate, they sighed.
The Enchanted Forest was not the Zoog's life. Just thinking about it brought tears to their eyes.
They had to be judged for eating a bigger drumstick? They had to share a glass of wine? They were called fat because they were born with a large frame? A big stomach was a sin?
That did not exist on Earth!
The fat Zoogs were very satisfied with their first night on Earth.
At the same time, Gu Jun and Lucky watched from the side of the meat forest. Gu Jun told Lucky about Phecda's arrangements for them.
The Zoogs would first receive half a month's training. It included ideological education, learning sign language, Earth knowledge and so on. After that, they would officially start working.
Some of them would be assigned to Phecda's various Special Mobile Forces while others would be assigned to the Mysterium World. Other than that, some of the elites would be assigned to special intelligence work. They would be sent to those dangerous areas.
Forests, deserts, deserts, some of them were places where the cultists had been active before, others were places where they might be active.
For the cultist's nest that had been destroyed, the Zoogs would go there to see if there were any clues that Phecda had missed.
For the places that were still mysterious, the Zoogs would go there to search for hidden cultists.
Guang Ting City's Xiong Lin Mountain where Tong Ye and the Phoenix Unit were ambushed was also on the list. It was probably one of the R 'yleh Cult's bases. Even though the cult had been heavily damaged in recent years, they did not disappear. Gu Jun's parents' family, the Deep Mountain Taoist, these things were still in hiding.
When Lucky heard that, he jumped up in agitation. "That means we, the Zoogs, will be at the front, ahead of you!"
"If we don't walk at the front, how are we supposed to get information?" Gu Jun said, "Once you get the information, we'll do the work."
"Then what if we're discovered and captured by the cultists?"
"Just tell them you're just passing by."
Lucky did not believe him.
Gu Jun did not want to push the Zoogs to their deaths but frontline work was dangerous, it was for both the Zoogs and humanity.
Therefore, they could only ask for better benefits from Phecda. They would have more chicken drumsticks for every meal in exchange for the word 'worth it'.
This was already agreed upon and Lucky understood that. Humanity was not a charity. The Zoogs had to work for the same amount of food they ate.
Jill turned his head to look at his compatriots, who were happily eating meat. They didn't know that they only had half a month to live before they would have to do business with their lives on the line. Those cultists were inhumane. If they were captured, they would become a delicious meal …
Gu Jun looked at the fat Zoogs and realized he had not dissected a Zoog before.
The Zoogs were a kind of abnormal creature, they could increase his anatomical knowledge.
Furthermore, they were so small, it would not take long for them to dissect and understand the Zoogs.
Lucky shivered involuntarily. He glanced at Gu Jun. He had no idea what this human was up to. He prepared to sneak away.
"Lucky." Gu Jun said, "You have another mission, that is to search for abnormal creatures. Those that fly in the sky, those that crawl in the cave, those that swim in the sea, live or dead, I want you to find them. Even if it's a fossil, I don't care. I can't stop my scalpel. "
After hearing that, Lucky finally understood why he was shivering.
