Chapter 1560 - 1558: Arrival

Chapter 1560: Chapter 1558: Arrival

Ye Xin was even more indignant, "How could I be afraid of you?"

Yang Chen quickly surrendered, "It’s not you who’s afraid of me, it’s me who’s afraid of you, alright?"

"That’s more like it!" Ye Xin finally yielded, especially since there were other people around; their playful banter was also limited.

Having chosen their weapons, Yang Chen and Ye Xin left.

Eleven o’clock.

All personnel gathered outside the experimental base.

Yang Cao led the team of scientists and the Guard, waiting for Yang Chen’s briefing.

Yang Chen looked at everyone, each full of energy; these scientists too had faces filled with excitement.

It seemed like these people were driven by a desire for knowledge about the unknown, fearing not the dangers that lay ahead.

Yang Chen looked at them and loudly asked, "Are you ready?"

"Always ready!" everyone shouted in unison.

These scientists had also undergone training with the Guard and understood the drill.

Yang Chen laughed and said to them, "Perhaps you don’t fully understand the mission you’re about to execute, so there’s no need to rush to shout slogans. Slogans are for people to hear; I don’t need your loud slogans. I need you to thoroughly understand their dangers so you have the necessary reactions to combat them."

Everyone looked at Yang Chen, their faces becoming serious.

Typically, others would be rallying the troops before a mission, yet Yang Chen seemed to dampen their morale, which they couldn’t quite understand.

"First, what you’re facing are many wild parasites, with fixed forms and strong aggressive instincts once they come into contact with humans. I don’t need you to fight them, but I hope you can thoroughly study what’s going on with them. So, you just need to ensure the protection of your own identity, can you do that?"

The scientists hesitated for a moment, but still shouted, "Yes!"

"Excellent!" Yang Chen said, "If you can achieve that, I’ll be very satisfied. Perhaps you don’t know that there’s a village nearby, with elderly people over seventy and young children. If we don’t solve the situation over there, once the parasites break out, the first affected would be Stone Village! Once one person is infected, none of the old or young inside would escape! And once Stone Village is infected, it signifies continuous and uncontrollable spread!"

Yang Chen looked at them, "So, the goal of this operation is to save those children and the elderly! I believe each of your homes has elderly and children! The responsibility of our generation is to protect them well! Not only to protect Stone Village, but also to prevent infectious spread! Also to protect our own families! So, I now ask you again, can you do it?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" At this moment, everyone was hysterical, shouting at the top of their lungs. Their emotions had been entirely influenced by Yang Chen.

Now this was the highest level of morale rallying, one that made them sincerely want to accomplish the mission, even at the cost of their lives!

"Excellent!" Yang Chen looked at the highly spirited crowd, nodded, and shouted, "Move out!"

With a command, everyone grabbed their gear and boarded the vehicles.

The convoy quickly departed.

Yang Chen, along with Yang Cao, Ye Xin, and others, was seated in the special armored vehicle.

Yang Cao held the data analysis and said to Yang Chen, "First, we can confirm that they have been dormant underground in the tomb for such a long time with a certain balance! The current situation must have been triggered by something disrupting this balance!"

Yang Chen slightly nodded, "We cannot rule out such a possibility! If someone infiltrated internally, it’s possible that internal personnel could have snuck in!"

Ye Xin’s eyes lit up and said, "Are you suggesting that maybe some shareholders banded together and sent people in, causing this anomaly?"

"Just not ruling out this possibility!" Yang Chen said.

He was reluctant to believe this possibility.

Because the shareholders are considered the pillars, the heart, and spine of the nation.

Yang Chen didn’t want to believe that such pillars, heart, and spine of the nation would do such a thing for their own interests.

"I actually think it’s very possible!" Ye Xin smirked, "In the face of profit, who wouldn’t be tempted? In my career, this type of thing is not uncommon!"

Yang Chen shook his head, "Let’s wait and see!"

"Then I have to be careful! Who knows if they have any hidden dangers waiting for us?" Ye Xin insisted on her view.

Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin, knowing that Ye Xin had encountered all sorts of people during her missions over the years, including many who would carry out hidden agendas; her maintaining vigilance was justified. Not only her, but everyone should keep their guard up, as danger could happen under any circumstances.

During the drive, it was smooth.

Meanwhile, some news arrived from the top.

Indicating that all command authority had been transferred to Yang Chen.

Now Yang Chen had absolute command authority.

Having obtained absolute control, Yang Chen felt much more at ease.

As long as the authority was handed over, Yang Chen didn’t fear anyone causing disruptions.

At least, they didn’t mess with the transfer of authority.

It showed that the shareholder members recognized Yang Chen’s ability to execute.

This way, Yang Chen had absolute command authority, and whatever the outcome, he could act first and report later!

Two o’clock in the morning.

The team officially arrived at the foot of Stone Mountain.

After passing through several checkpoints, Yang Chen finally entered the command center!

After Yang Cao demonstrated the appointment documents to their highest commander and confirmed the handover, command authority was handed over entirely to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen looked at them, looked at the facilities in the command room, and asked, "Report all situations to me, focusing on the recent abnormal events in the tomb, including all names on the patrolling list in the tomb, submit them all to me!"

"Yes!" They had received the orders from the top, and their orders for Yang Chen were unconditional obedience.

With rapid efficiency, they quickly gathered all the patrol personnel lists.

With an order from Yang Chen, Ye Xin led the team to start the examination work.

In intelligence-related work, Ye Xin was most adept.

After arranging the work on this side, Yang Chen then took Yang Cao to the tomb entrance.

Now, the entrance to the tomb had been renovated into a large iron gate, sealed in several layers inside and outside, access required wearing protective gear and disinfection.

There was also ventilation inside, ensuring airflow and air circulation within.

Yang Chen and Yang Cao changed into protective gear and descended into the tomb.

This was Yang Chen’s second visit to this tomb, yet it still felt very familiar because it had indeed left too deep an impression on him.
