Chapter 1256: Talk About the First Step

The materials provided by Huaxia Base detailed the appearances, sizes, power levels, and natures of different kinds of underground creatures, some common features, and how they could harm human beings and the environment. However, what people really wanted to know was not included.

“Huaxia Base has always been the most technologically advanced base in the country. Haven’t you guys figured out a way to deal with those creatures yet?” After reading the materials quickly, Wu Chengyue smilingly asked Si Kongchen.

Si Kongchen looked at him expressionlessly as he responded, “I’d like to know how to deal with those creatures too. There are a lot of scientific researchers in my base, but they need time to solve the problem. Based on the present progress of their projects, I think finding an efficient way against the threat coming from those underground creatures will not be easy.”

Wu Chengyue said with a smile, “Oh, really? Since you guys have research projects about them, I assume you already have some plans. Am I right, Chief Si?”

Si Kongchen looked at him peacefully and said, “I do have some plans, and have done some experiments. However, no good results have been achieved yet, which is why I gave up. Now, I’d like to hear what you all think about it. Chief Wu, have you found a way against those creatures?”

“If I had a method, I’d surely be willing to share with all of you. But sadly, I don’t have that kind of ability. Even those top scientists in Huaxia Base haven’t managed to solve the problem yet. So, how could I possibly come up with a solution?” Wu Chengyue smiled and spread his hands.

In the first meeting, people would usually try to feel each other out without leaking any useful information. However, since Huaxia Base had shared what they knew about underground creatures so far, the other bases also handed out the materials about the underground creatures that had emerged in their territory.

The contents of those materials were mostly some facts about the underground creatures. The materials provided by all bases were similar.

“Since these creatures are from the underground, why don’t we send a team underground? Maybe we can find some crucial clues underground. Those creatures must have come out of the ground for some reason, right? If we figure that reason out, we might be able to think of a way to stop them from running rampant on the earth’s surface.” After reading the pile of materials, Lan Lu started talking.

Du Kunsheng clapped his hands and said, “That’s what I’m thinking. However, selecting the members of this team will be a difficult thing. After all, we don’t know dangerous the underground world can be.”

“It’s dangerous for sure,” Lin Qiao joined the conversation, “My Deputy Chief went less than a thousand meters deep underground and got injured. He’s still in a coma now. The weak ones shouldn’t go, because they won’t be helpful. On the contrary, they might hinder the others.”

Du Kunsheng nodded in agreement, “You are right. The ones who will go down into the ground need to be relatively strong. At least, they should all be able to protect themselves.”

The number of people who are strong enough for the mission was limited, most of them being base leaders. Huaxia Base and Sea City Base each had multiple leaders, but unlike those two bases, All Beings Base, Green Mountain Base, Heilong Base, and Mongols Base each only had one or two level-seven leaders. None of the people under their commands were good enough for the mission, but if they took part in the mission themselves, no one would be left to run their bases.

One needed to be at level-six at least to carry a dangerous mission like that. The level-five ones might not be strong enough to protect themselves down underground, and they might even cause unnecessary trouble. The mission was too important to be carried by only one base. Each base should send out their people for the mission, to keep the balance of the current overall situation.

“Chief Si, what do you think?” Wu Chengyue looked at Si Kongchen, still wearing a faint smile.

Si Kongchen nodded with a poker face and said, “I’m surely okay with it.”

“In this case, I think we’ll need a few days to form the team. As for the meeting, it’ll take place after the mission is done,” Wu Chengyue said with a smile.

“That’s the only way, and I’m fine with it. What do you guys think?” Lan Lu said as he scanned the others’ faces with his eyes.

“I agree. But, we need think to think about whom to send for the mission,” said Du Kunsheng.

He didn’t have high-leveled subordinates, and he was now the only level-seven person in Heilong Base. If he decided not to go himself, he would have to send two level-six ones.

Sea City Base was slightly weaker than Huaxia Base, but was much stronger than the other bases.

“Okay. Now, we’ll decide where to enter the underground realm from. In three days, send your people there. We’ll make further decisions when they come out,” Si Kongchen said.

No one had any objections. The others nodded, and one said, “Does anyone have a good idea about where to enter the underground world from? Any suggestions?”

“Since we’re going to do this together, why don’t we chose to do it in the middle of the country? I know about a deep hole that’s located near the northern edge of Hunan Province. Let’s see if we can find anything in there,” Wu Chengyue shared his opinion. There was indeed a large and deep hole, and the creatures that came out of the hole were huge.

Those large-sized creatures must have left wide tunnels underground, which would provide people with convenience.

“I agree. Let’s pick the middle of the country then. Those creatures have left holes all over the country now. We can choose any of those holes to go into,” Lan Lu accepted Wu Chengyue’s suggestion. It would be very fair if the gathering spot would be in the middle of the country.

“I’m fine with it,” Du Kunsheng nodded.

Lin Qiao glanced at Si Kongchen as she smiled and said, “I agree.”

Receiving that glance from her, Si Kongchen looked at the others. Three had said yes, so saying no at that point would not change the situation, and would only worsen people’s attitude toward him. So, left with no other choice, he nodded in agreement as well.

“Good!”

Then, people turned to Bao Chengzhi, the leader of Mongols Base, who was also at level-seven, waiting to hear his thoughts.

“You’ve all agreed. Can I possibly say no? I’m obviously fine with it!” As everybody looked at him, Bao Chengzhi instantly said with laughter.

“Alright, since my suggestion has passed unanimously, I’ll give you guys the location of the place soon,” said Wu Chengyue smilingly.

With that, the meeting was over, and people left to start preparing for the mission.
