Chapter 403: Chapter 318: Monitoring Flow Direction_3

Additionally, there’s the need to handle the affairs of other families; Hazy City isn’t solely under the control of the Ahn family, but rather a coexistence of many families. Other families have also been affected by this incident and have joined in this "war." It’s not just about taking care of our own issues.

Some actions also need to consider the influence of other families.

Now that my side has an extra advantage, we can also gain more control over the next actions.

As for calling it a war, indeed, it is a war.

In one of the combat zones, Ahn Longling saw the weapons that had been stolen. Monsters with visceral deformities were using them—not all, but enough to be a significantly threatening presence. There were weapons that even surprised Ahn Longling when they appeared on the battlefield.

The weapons’ authentication had somehow been bypassed...no, it was the Mental parasite monster that had acquired a method to bypass authentication. There were also some bio-weapons; parasites appeared on the surface of these bio-weapons, and a closer look revealed that the parasites were exactly those monsters with visceral deformities.

"Since those weapons have appeared on the enemy’s side, let’s take this opportunity to conduct some additional tests," she said.

Ahn Longling issued combat orders, and the intensity of the battle in her area immediately escalated. No other areas were faring any better; the Mental parasite monster had influenced too many people, and the initial primary targets were the camps that held many weapons.

In this state of war, all those weapons were put to use.

I wager Hazy City’s news department will have a headache about how to report this later. Actual reporting? If they dare to do so, they might as well wait to shut down the next day.

On Zheng Yichen’s side, he could hear the intense artillery fire from afar, and couldn’t help but feel it was unbelievable: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

It wasn’t until he arrived at one of the scenes that he realized the situation was indeed more outrageous than he’d imagined. But having reached this place, Lilith detected that a direction of energy infiltration had disappeared, and the direction of energy flow where Zheng Yichen arrived had changed to a finer energy stream.

However, having come all this way, Zheng Yichen wasn’t about to just overlook things, even though the forces engaged in battle in this area were not the local combat troops under Ahn Longling’s command, but those of other powers.

But Ahn Longling had informants here, who, after spotting Zheng Yichen, immediately contacted him: "If your main target isn’t there, you can bypass them, or somehow create a crisis that makes them actively seek support, and I’ll notify you when to act."

"Is it really that complicated between you all?" Zheng Yichen was about to say it was dirty.

"If you act now, they’ll think the Ahn family wants to snatch the spoils of war," Ahn Longling explained, voicing a very realistic issue: the information was provided by her side, gaining her some benefits, as other families also had their foundations. The Ahn family had acquired some important information through the Evil ritual.

The other major families of Hazy City had discovered something more or less; Hazy City experiences at least one such incident per year, which impacts Hazy City and causes significant economic losses but also provides extra assets to the local forces of Hazy City.

Is it a fragment of the body tissue of the event’s instigator, or something else? And studying those brings them even more – collaboration with knowledge offered by visitors from alien worlds?

That’s also feasible, but those capable of causing trouble in Hazy City, especially significant trouble, must be sufficiently able or powerful. Hazy City is a low-environment area; if such big events can occur here, there must be something special about it.

That special nature is not something compliant visitors from alien worlds would possess.

This Mental parasite entity is unique, causing trouble on a large scale, and can even resurrect the dead Skeleton behemoth from North Lake. They don’t know how it was discovered, but reviving the dead Skeleton behemoth is worthy of attention.

Wasn’t it the Ahn family’s deployment of heavy firepower that pulverized that creature to dust? If such things can indeed "resurrect," or revive in another form, it’s naturally of interest.

"That’s too realistic. Well, I suppose I’ll just change locations," said Zheng Yichen, glancing at the combat zone. Hazy City’s major families have been developing for quite some time, and Ahn Qi had mentioned to Zheng Yichen that some families’ growth was no weaker than the Ahn family’s. It’s just that the Ahn family has more advantages in other respects.

The major families all have an understanding to some extent, and their goals are more or less known to each other. The Ahn family’s Ascension Project is a secret, known to few, but other major families could guess some of it.

All this hard work in development couldn’t possibly be for the future venture into the stars, right?

Well-developed families would naturally aim for a higher environment or aim to completely drive out or annihilate other families, thereby gaining full control of Hazy City.

The Ahn family has this idea too; by fully mastering Hazy City, they could change the development pattern here, gain control of all anomalies and suitable candidates that appear here, explore any anomaly on a larger scale, ramp up the rate of development, and then more quickly meet the goals required for their Ascension Project.

But that’s just wishful thinking – at least for now. Other families wouldn’t let that happen, though they too wish to do so. Yet whoever truly acts in such a way without an overwhelmingly dominant power would result in other families collaborating first.

Even the official forces of Hazy City must cooperate; after all, Hazy City’s official forces are also one of the top powers.

"...I can cause some trouble for them on my side," Zheng Yichen offered.

"Forget it, we are on the same front now. Tripping each other up is not good. I’ll just make an extra trip; you focus on eliminating more targets on your side, and maybe you’ll meet the main body," he said.

As Zheng Yichen spoke, he noticed that an energy pathway detected by Lilith had vanished, and such pathways, once gone, don’t seem to reappear right away. It was unclear if this was because the Mental parasite monster had limited numbers to split into or for some other reason.

The fewer extraneous targets, the better for him; he had fewer places to run to.
