Chapter 1559: Chapter 1557: Personally Executed

After the meeting dispersed.

Ye Liangcai immediately contacted Yang Chen.

Yang Chen, who was resting in the lab at the base, received a call from Ye Liangcai.

Seeing the call from Ye Liangcai, Yang Chen frowned and involuntarily looked at Ye Xin.

Ye Xin also frowned slightly, because she knew about Ye Liangcai looking for the director earlier, but still didn’t understand Ye Liangcai’s purpose.

Although it was her father, she didn’t want Yang Chen to be dragged into political affairs by her father.

Yang Chen picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Hello, Uncle Ye!" Yang Chen said.

Ye Liangcai’s voice came through, saying to Yang Chen: "Xiaochen, there’s something I feel I should tell you."

"Go ahead, Uncle Ye!"

"Early this morning, the stationed team at Wowo Mountain sent word that roars were spreading from the foot of the mountain, seemingly coming from the inside! Our surveillance cameras and patrol personnel went down to check but found nothing unusual, yet the roars kept getting more frequent! I’ve already dispatched a support team and some scientists over there."

"Wowo Mountain!" Yang Chen’s eyes narrowed sharply.

All along, in Yang Chen’s heart, Wowo Mountain was a time bomb! It could explode at any moment, and if it did, it would be a dreadful disaster!

He originally thought that Wowo Mountain would remain dormant for a while, and any problems would take a long time to surface. But unexpectedly, things came so suddenly!

"What’s the situation over there now?" Yang Chen asked.

Ye Liangcai said in a deep voice: "The situation is still unclear, and I didn’t let anyone investigate deeply because they don’t have the experience or defensive ability! In case they get infected..."

"I understand!" Yang Chen said in a deep voice, "The scientists you dispatched are useless, I’ll take some from the base over!"

Ye Liangcai said: "We just had a meeting with the senior leaders and the old chief, and the final decision is that we want you to take a look since you have experience in this area, and we only trust your capability!"

Yang Chen was silent for a moment.

"I previously made two suggestions. First, if Wowo Mountain poses an explosion risk, destroy it all immediately to prevent a crisis outbreak! The second one is to send scientists over to figure out what’s going on, hoping to solve it scientifically, which would be the best scenario. But they seem to disagree. So I proposed you to carry out this mission. And I’ve obtained their consent, you have all the power of life and death! The command and decision of this operation are in your hands, and no one can interfere! Based on your judgment, whether to destroy or preserve, you decide!" Ye Liangcai continued.

Yang Chen nodded slightly as he listened.

He greatly admired Ye Liangcai for his decision to destroy.

Amidst the temptation of huge interests, Ye Liangcai was not blinded by it and had the courage to make a clean break, which was admirable.

But he also understood that Ye Liangcai’s realization did not mean that others would have the same awareness. Such significant interests are not something everyone is willing to let go of. Some might even sacrifice others’ interests, even lives, to secure their own benefits.

Ye Liangcai thought of the villagers in Stone Village.

Among them, there were many elderly and children staying at home.

If something from Wowo Mountain were to explode, it would be a catastrophic blow to Stone Village!

He couldn’t bear to see such a thing happen.

After a moment of silence, Yang Chen said in a deep voice: "Okay! I’ll take people there now!"

"Thank you!" Ye Liangcai said.

After hanging up, Ye Xin immediately looked at Yang Chen with concern, "What’s wrong? What happened? Where are you going?"

She hadn’t expected that right after her father called, Yang Chen would have to go on a mission.

Yang Chen said in a deep voice: "Something happened at Wowo Mountain!"

"Wowo Mountain?" Thinking of those parasitic organisms hidden beneath Wowo Mountain, Ye Xin’s face turned a bit pale, "What happened?"

"It’s unclear at the moment!" Yang Chen said in a deep voice: "It’s just that roars are constantly coming from the foot of the mountain, increasingly frequent, and investigative personnel can’t find the source, nor dare to go too deep."

"Could it be those things?" Ye Xin thought of those things entangled with vines all over and shivered.

"This possibility can’t be ruled out!" Yang Chen said in a deep voice.

"I’m going too!" Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen firmly and said.

Seeing Ye Xin’s determined expression, Yang Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Yang Chen went to find Yang Cao.

After explaining the situation to Yang Cao, Yang Cao frowned.

"This shouldn’t be!" Yang Cao frowned and said, "Without external stimuli, these things are like dead objects and can last for thousands of years. Plus, we always have people guarding there, and no one can enter! This situation is very unusual!"

Yang Chen frowned, pondering Yang Cao’s analysis.

Because so far, only Yang Cao in the world knows most about those things, his words are authoritative!

"I need to see it myself!" Yang Cao said in a deep voice: "There’s a possibility that the parasites have mutated; I must see it myself to know. I’ll go with you on this action!"

Yang Chen thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Select a batch of experts, bring the corresponding equipment, and go together!"

"Okay! I’ll arrange it right away!" Yang Cao said.

"We’ll depart at eleven o’clock sharp!" Yang Chen said.

"Yes!"

Yang Cao immediately went to arrange the work.

Yang Cao glanced at Ye Xin and said, "Let’s go! We’ll find Tail Fox and prepare some equipment!"

"Mm!" Ye Xin nodded.

There is also an armory in the experimental base.

In the armory, Yang Chen didn’t choose any powerful thermal weapons but opted for two long knives made of high-strength alloy!

With dual blades in hand, Yang Chen felt they would be much more effective against those parasites than thermal weapons.

Seeing Yang Chen choose a long knife, Ye Xin also took one, swung it, and said: "I think this thing is quite useful!"

Yang Chen laughed, looking at Ye Xin, "Does it feel more satisfying in close combat?"

Ye Xin threw a flirtatious glance at Yang Chen, smiling, "Yeah! How about we try it someday?"

Yang Chen shook his head immediately, "Not fighting with you! Too dangerous!"

He still remembered the scene from last time when Ye Xin lost control of her bloodline and went berserk during their fight, it was really risky.

He didn’t want to experience that again.

Ye Xin rolled her eyes at him, "Look at your guts!"

Yang Chen retorted, "I have plenty of guts, just not against you! You can fight me without weapons anytime! But with weapons, don’t even think about it!"

"You think I can’t control it?" Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen.

"No!" Yang Chen said, "It’s me who’s afraid of not controlling myself."
