Chapter 643
An Overly Cautious Squad
"Who?"
Lin Yang was startled by the angry shout from the leader of the special alien team.
"Discovered?"
Lin Yang felt a tightness in his chest, but he became even more determined to stay calm, even holding his breath.
This special alien team is very strong; their captain, Hong Yu, is also at the Dao Wang Realm.
It can be said that in the Tai Shi battlefield, each squad usually has at least one Dao Wang realm expert in charge.
Moreover, the entire squad was brimming with energy, and everyone was clearly at their peak. If he were discovered, he would have virtually no chance of survival.
Lin Yang remained extremely calm and was quickly thinking of a solution.
This captain has incredibly sharp perception.
Although his exact location has not yet been discovered, we have already sensed it.
hum.
The next instant, Captain Hongyu unleashed a burst of power, sweeping across the large area where Lin Yang was hiding to probe his location.
Fortunately, Lin Yang had concealed himself within the spatial layers just to be on the safe side, barely avoiding the sweeping force.
"This guy didn't discover his exact location; he probably just sensed that there might be someone here."
Seeing this, Lin Yang understood the situation even better.
The same is true.
After Captain Hongyu shouted and attacked, Zhong Mang, who had been so talkative, couldn't help but ask again:
"Captain, is something wrong?"
Hong Yu nodded, her eyes sharp: "I always feel that someone is hiding nearby, but I can't pinpoint their exact location."
"Is someone hiding?"
The entire squad instantly went on high alert.
Then, everyone attacked simultaneously, and a vast force swept across the entire area.
"There's no power fluctuation at all?" Captain Hongyu frowned, muttering to herself, "Could it be my imagination?"
"Captain, what do we do now?" another team member asked Hongyu.
Hong Yu raised her hand, her gaze still warily sweeping across the entire area, and coldly replied:
"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. Since the other party is hiding, he must be one of the cultivators. If I am not mistaken, he may have heard what Zhong Mang said earlier."
"Just to be on the safe side, we'll stay here and prevent him from sending messages out."
A cold glint flashed in Hong Yu's eyes:
"This person is adept at concealment, but when he sends a message, there will inevitably be fluctuations in his power. Once there is even the slightest fluctuation, we can instantly pinpoint his location and suppress him!"
After speaking, Hong Yu coldly looked at Zhong Mang, her eyes filled with both anger and killing intent:
"If you hadn't been so talkative, we wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble. You'd better pray that nothing goes wrong this time, or you know the consequences yourself!"
Zhong Mang visibly trembled and whispered, "Captain, I know I was wrong!"
"Hmph, it's no use that you know you're wrong now. I must report to the adults the truth: we need to be on guard against unforeseen circumstances here and cannot proceed according to the original plan!" Hong Yu sneered.
Zhong Mang trembled again and pleaded in a low voice, "Captain, can we find another reason to report this?"
Hong Yu's eyes instantly turned incredibly sharp: "You caused this mess by not being able to control your mouth, and you want us to share the blame?"
"We all have missions to undertake in such an important matter. Without sufficient reason, how could the adults allow us to change the plan on our own?"
"If I don't tell the truth, I'll be the one punished if something goes wrong!"
Zhong Mang's face paled, but he still said stubbornly, "What if, Captain, I mean, what if he didn't hear what I just said, or... what if you're mistaken?"
"Plant the awn!"
The murderous intent in Hong Yu's eyes grew stronger.
"With such a critical matter at hand, we cannot afford any accidents!"
Even if I'm wrong, it will only delay things for a few days!
"But if I'm absolutely sure, and I carelessly leave, the consequences would be so dire that even the lives of our entire clan wouldn't be enough!" Upon hearing this, Zhong Mang stopped pleading, but his face grew even paler.
Clearly, he was terrified.
Hongyu ignored him and began sending messages to report.
A moment later, seeing that Hongyu had finished reporting, Zhong Mang asked in a trembling voice, "Captain, what did the adults say?"
Hongyu glanced at him: "The adults think the same as me: stay here for now. If anything unexpected happens, the plan will be brought forward!"
"Then... what about me?" Zhong Mang asked cautiously again.
"You?" Hongyu sneered again, "At this critical moment, the adults can't take care of you, but you should know your own limits. You should just pray that this is just my imagination!"
Zhong Mang's face turned pale again, and he fell silent.
"Everyone, take cover!"
At Hongyu's command, the entire squad concealed themselves on the spot.
Seeing this, Lin Yang's heart sank.
He didn't hear the conversation between Hongyu and the others that had just taken place, as they had used soundproofing.
But seeing them disappear in place, Lin Yang knew he was in trouble.
When these guys couldn't force him out, they actually chose to secretly wait here!
"These guys are way too cautious. They've tried to probe several times, but haven't found anyone hiding here. They're still keeping watch out of concern!"
Lin Yang was speechless, and he realized even more how important this siege was to the special alien race.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so cautious!
This situation has put Lin Yang in a difficult position.
If he sends a message now, he will definitely be exposed.
Although the power required for transmitting a message is extremely small and negligible under normal circumstances.
But in the current situation, the other party is already on guard, and even the slightest fluctuation of power will inevitably be detected.
However, if no message is sent, countless people will die if Taishi City is attacked.
Within Tai Shi City, there are teleportation arrays connecting different higher-level dimensions.
Historically, sieges have involved large-scale suicidal invasions of higher-dimensional spaces by unique alien races and species.
These invaders of higher dimensions never intended to live; their sole purpose was to kill and destroy.
The situation has become serious.
Lin Yang now has only two choices.
If he chooses to send a message, he will be exposed.
Once exposed, facing this special alien team that was already on high alert, he was practically doomed.
If no message is sent, Tai Shi City will be attacked suddenly, and the casualties will be heavy.
For a moment, Lin Yang was caught in a dilemma: to choose between sacrificing his own friend to save himself and to sacrifice his own interests for the greater good.
If the Endless Spacetime were invaded, he wouldn't be so conflicted, because his family and friends are in the Endless Spacetime.
But not at higher spatial and temporal levels.
Those alien species and special alien races that invaded the higher-level spacetime would also be jointly killed in the higher-level spacetime, and would not have the opportunity to invade the endless spacetime.
"System, do you have any ideas...?"
Without hesitating for long, Lin Yang asked the system.
The system's capabilities are incredible; perhaps it has a way to resolve the current predicament.
But before the system could reply, Lin Yang's spirits lifted!
At the edge of the horizon, a group of cultivators appeared amidst the swirling yellow sand. (End of Chapter)
