Chapter 1366: Start to Catch the Mole
The others weren’t disappointed to hear Li Zheng say that there wasn’t a specific time. After all, it was already amazing that the mysterious person was willing to secretly deliver the message to them. They were curious about that person but didn’t try to find out his identity. The man wasn’t willing to expose his identity, so Lin Feng and his people decided to respect him.
“Alright. I’ll make some time today to go to Base Number Two and talk to Yun Meng. This is settled. Also, stay alert these days and keep a close eye on the farm area. We have quite some moles in our base now. We can’t let those people bring us trouble at this point,” Lin Feng said to the others.
“Yes, sir,” the three nodded and responded in one voice.
Lin Feng then said to Du Yuanxing, “Du, prepare the squads and keep an eye on their lair. When they make the move, catch the ones left in the lair. Chen, you pay attention to Tongtong. Keep him safe, and don’t let any accident happen to him.”
“Yes, sir,” Du Yuanxing and Chen Yuting nodded and responded together.
After giving the instructions, Lin Feng first sent someone to inform Yun Meng and then went to see her.
“What? Moles! I’ve told you guys that none of those people from Hidden Cloud City or Earth Dragon Bases really want to stay here. It’s them, isn’t it?” Yun Meng pulled a long face the moment she heard that some moles were planning on starting trouble. Her dark-green eyes shone with ferocity, and even the color of her pupils grew deeper.
Lin Feng found the girl’s angry face funny. “People change,” he said, “Maybe they take this place as a shelter for a temporary stay. When the crisis is gone, they might start to think about where they really want to go. People have different thoughts, and that’s normal. Maybe they think our base isn’t perfect for them, and maybe they think we’re not strong enough. But whatever they’re thinking, it’s impossible for them to leave our base with our secrets. We don’t allow that kind of a thing.”
For the people who knew nothing about the secrets of the base, Lin Feng would let them go if they wanted to. However, no one would be able to take the base’s secrets out of the base. That was a hundred percent impossible.
Yun Meng always wore a very cold look when she was angry. She stayed silent with her lips pressed together and her eyes sharp. Qiu Lili and Lin Kui, who were standing by her side, took it esier than she did. Lin Kui was the only one who managed to stay calm, actually. Qiu Lili also had her lips pressed together; her cheeks even bulged slightly with anger.
“Let them do it! We wouldn’t be able to spot them if they did nothing. We have a lot of people in the base now. Without a doubt, some of them don’t really want to stay. Since they don’t want to stay, we should kick them all out!” Qiu Lili said grumpily.
“What’s your plan?” Yun Meng figured that Lin Feng already had a plan, or else he wouldn’t come all the way to talk to her.
Lin Feng shared the plan with Yun Meng and her friends and then continued with, “They’re losing patience. We should let them show their claws. Only after that can we grasp solid evidence against them. By then, it’ll be reasonable no matter what we want to do to them.”
“I can’t believe that Junjun said yes to your plan. It must be difficult for her! Alright, I’ll try my best to keep Tongtong safe. But, please don’t let any of those moles get away.”
“If we succeed this time, the other people who are having inappropriate thoughts might stop taking actions for a while. I hope this plan will buy us enough time to prepare ourselves for what might happen in the future.”
The action that they were about to take would certainly have an influence. It might make the other moles want to restrain their actions, which would be a good thing. After all, there would always be moles in a base. As the population of the base grew larger and larger, it would be harder and harder to control the minds of the people. That was why each base had set rules to discipline their people and let them know that the ones who violated the rules would be punished.
“Take precautions. We’ll destroy them if they do anything that we don’t like!” said Yun Meng coldly.
Soon, Lin Feng and Yun Meng reached an agreement, after which, she immediately went to Tongtong and turned herself invisible to guard the boy closely. Liu Jun was doing her work in the farm as always. But in secret, she had sent more people to patrol by the edge of the farm, and the patrolling area had grown larger than usual.
As Yun Meng had left to protect Tongtong, Qiu Lili and Lin Kui were put in temporary charge of the army in Base Number Two. Qiu Lili didn’t like doing administration work and knew nothing about the military things, so she let Lin Kui do the work.
Thankfully, Xie Dong had trained quite some talents for the administration work. As he was not in the base at the moment, the army had been managed by those, and the soldiers had been trained by them too.
Lu Meiqing and her people didn’t yet know that Lin Feng had already learned about their plan. They were watching Tongtong closely and looking for an opportunity to take action. They didn’t intend to expose themselves, so they planned to do it covertly by creating an accident.
After spending some time observing, they finally prepared to make a move that day on Tongtong’s way back home from Lin Xiaolu’s place. Tongtong’s protection at that hour was the weakest during the whole day.
…
At that moment, Lin Qiao came out of the underground world. She came out invisibly, because before she reached the exit, she sensed the scents of a bunch of people from near it.
Someone was waiting out there. She wasn’t surprised though, and she had foreseen that. She turned herself invisible and came out quietly, so no one found a trace of hers.
She came out and looked around, finding no one from her own base among the few groups of people on the scene. She came out early, so her people weren’t there yet. Anyhow, she didn’t care about that. Those people were waiting there for her to come out, and she intended to let them keep waiting.
She left quickly.
Not long after she left, a red figure flashed out of the hole and rose straight high into the sky. The big cat glanced down from the sky and then lashed its tail as it flashed across the air and disappeared. It vanished before the people on the scene could see it clearly.
“Is that an underground creature? It can fly!”
“What’s so strange about that? All underground creatures are weird. Quite some of them can fly or leap very high. Stop paying attention to that creature. It’s not what we’re waiting for.”
