83: Come in confused

“Yes, we’re here for a trip. Dayang Lake has beautiful scenery!”

Chen Xu followed up, his voice slightly lacking in Qi, and his expression a bit unnatural.

Lin Fei was also very nervous. Although it wasn't his first time facing such a situation, he was far from being used to it.

“Traveling?”

The Soldier’s gaze sharpened. He naturally noticed their subtle expressions and was about to say something when the squad leader walked up from behind him.

“You two, you may enter.”

The squad leader was a burly man with a broad back and muscular physique, who spoke to Lin Fei and Chen Xu.

The Soldier who spoke first looked at the squad leader with some confusion but didn't ask further.

“Huh?”

Lin Fei and Chen Xu exchanged glances, both a bit bewildered, unsure of the situation.

The ride-share driver also looked at the two in shock, suspecting they were legendary scions with unfathomable backgrounds.

In their bewilderment, the two got out of the car.

“Dayang Lake is currently very dangerous. For your safety, you must maintain a distance of at least ten meters from the lakeshore.”

“To be honest, this isn't where you should be.”

The squad leader gazed at the two, speaking earnestly.

The danger here was difficult to deal with, even for them, if they didn't have weapons.

During this time, snakes and pythons had come ashore from the river, astonishingly large, and some large black fish had also rushed onto the land.

If not for the Soldiers stationed here, there might have already been casualties.

“Thank you, but we really have something very important to do.”

Lin Fei could feel the other party's sincerity and thanked him.

“Take these two communicators. If anything happens, call for help immediately. We still have patrol duties, so we'll be going now.”

The squad leader threw over two communicators and then left with a squad of Soldiers.

“This Soldier is quite nice, actually.”

Chen Xu caught the communicator and said.

“Of course, our Rabbit Country’s Soldiers are the people’s own Soldiers.”

Lin Fei said.

As they spoke, the two walked towards the lakeshore.

“Now that we’ve reached our destination, how do we find what we’re looking for? We can’t just go into the lake, can we? That Soldier made it very clear that the lake is dangerous.”

“Moreover, when we called the Bureau of Flora and Fauna Administration before, they dispatched a frigate here to deal with some kind of creature!”

“This Dayang Lake is absolutely perilous, not somewhere we can easily tread.”

Chen Xu looked at the boundless lake before him, speaking with a solemn expression.

“There’s no other way for now, unless you…”

Lin Fei said, looking at Chen Xu.

“A Fei, you’re not serious, are you? We’re currently in the same place as the military. Doing something like that would really be asking for death!”

Chen Xu nearly jumped up, carefully glancing around, afraid of being seen by the Soldiers, misunderstood, and taken away.

“Such a coward. I’m not teasing you anymore.”

Lin Fei looked at Chen Xu’s timid appearance and chuckled, “By the way, why do you think these Soldiers suddenly let us in?”

“I don’t know. Logically, this place is a military stronghold now, so they really shouldn’t have let us in.”

Chen Xu said, then thought of something and added, “This time when we were captured by those two mysterious people, the navy even came specifically to thank us. Could it be that Brother Octopus appeared for our sake?!”

“So, this time they’re letting us in, could it be that they want us to lure out Brother Octopus?!”

The more Chen Xu spoke, the more solemn his expression became.

“Yes, that’s the only possibility.”

Lin Fei nodded.

“Then you thought of it early, why did you still rush over?”

Chen Xu asked directly.

“I only remembered it on the way.”

Lin Fei shook his head and said, “Moreover, something big must have happened yesterday. I don’t know what state Brother Octopus is in.”

“Speaking of which, the navy even had to thank Brother Octopus, and those two mysterious people, did they cause losses to the navy?”

Chen Xu also whispered.

“Let’s just look around for now. It’s best if we find clues, if not, we’ll take our time.”

“I feel like the world is getting stranger and stranger. Creatures are mutating and evolving, and even mysterious forces like that have appeared. Perhaps, I should remind my mother to prepare early.”

Lin Fei looked at the vast Dayang Lake, vaguely seeing some giant figures.

“No way, A Fei, you don’t actually think these Mutated Creatures can affect our lives, do you?”

Chen Xu chuckled slightly, “Do you know how powerful our country is? At full firepower, it could wipe out the entire surface of the earth!”

Lin Fei shook his head, “What you’re saying isn’t realistic. Within our borders, especially around towns, those powerful weapons can’t possibly be used.”

“Secondly, when did we first discover these Mutated Creatures?”

Chen Xu said, “It was at the beginning of summer vacation. That’s when you and I discovered that Giant Eel together.”

Lin Fei turned his head, looked at Chen Xu, and said, “And before that, you and I swam in the river before the heavy rain, right?”

“At that time, there weren’t such terrifying Mutated Creatures in the river.”

“This indicates that everything might have started during the heavy rain. In just over a month, so many powerful Mutated Creatures have appeared, even to the point where frigates need to be dispatched!”

“If this speed continues for a few more months, or even years, how powerful will these Mutated Creatures become?”

Chen Xu was stunned, and a bad premonition also rose in his heart, but he still said, “Such drastic evolution should have a special reason and cannot continue indefinitely.”

“I hope so too.”

Lin Fei turned his head and looked at Dayang Lake.

Above the sky, a Bird of Prey was diving down, rushing towards Dayang Lake, aiming for some target.

“Splash!”

However, the moment the Bird of Prey caught its target, the surrounding water exploded, splashing up a towering wave.

A gaping maw appeared in the water, bit the considerably large Bird of Prey, and disappeared beneath the surface.

“Holy crap!”

Chen Xu was startled, pointing at Dayang Lake and saying, “What kind of fish was that just now? It was too fierce! That bird was definitely not small!”

“Anyway, it’s a big fish that could easily bite us to death.”

Lin Fei said.

Not far away, the patrolling Soldiers also noticed this scene, but they only notified a certain place and didn't intervene further.

During their time stationed there, such situations often occurred. Of course, the Bird of Prey was not always the hunted party.

“I always feel that the frequency of creatures from Dayang Mountain appearing here is getting higher and higher.”

The squad leader stopped, his gaze directed towards Dayang Mountain.

“Dayang Mountain Nature Reserve, I heard it’s one of the largest wildlife nature reserves in our country. With such a vast area, there must be no shortage of powerful creatures.”

“In my opinion, it would be best to just have the army sweep it clean. These creatures are mutating more and more powerfully. If not dealt with soon, it will probably be troublesome later.”

Several Soldiers also said.

“Never mind, let’s continue patrolling.”

The squad leader interrupted the conversation, and the squad continued into the mountain forest, leaving behind only some fresh blood and traces of a battle.
