I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2805: Chapter 2805: The Evil of Desire

Hassad’s expression turned gloomy again, feeling it was unlikely.

"Don’t forget, the Yanlong people have been driven away. How could they possibly ambush there?"

"Even though they’ve left, there’s still the team below," Teplon said:

"The team that came this time is from the Central Guards Brigade, their ace team, led by a captain named Lin Yi."

"It’s him!"

Hassad’s expression became even gloomier!

Both he and Teplon knew Lin Yi all too well.

The Ghost Squad was completely wiped out, six Masters of the Gongyuan Association died, and Gerard also died.

All these deaths were inextricably linked to him.

"Go back and check. If it’s really them, I won’t let them get away with it!"

...

After the attack, Lin Yi and the others dug open the secret passage and quietly returned to the safe zone.

"How did it go? Did you succeed?"

Seeing Lin Yi and the others return, Jiang Zhengnan stepped forward to ask.

"The scene was quite thrilling," Luyu said with a laugh, "We even managed to take out two of them. You guys really missed out by not being there."

"It is indeed a bit of a loss."

"Brother Jiang, I estimate that after a while, they will definitely send people to investigate. Send two people out to scout. We’re in the final stage now, and we need to put on a good show."

"Alright."

Following Lin Yi’s suggestion, Jiang Zhengnan sent two people out while the rest stayed in the room.

"Tell me, how did you guys pull this off?"

Afterwards, Luyu recounted the event to Jiang Zhengnan.

The scene was satisfying, but the Yanlong team seemed more interested in the secret passage.

Only Jiang Zhengnan, although happy, wasn’t as thrilled as expected.

"Old Jiang, what are you up to? Playing the big boss and acting mysterious?"

In the entire Central Guards Brigade, only Luyu dared to speak to Jiang Zhengnan like that.

"It’s not that the secret passage isn’t good, but there’s been talk about something recently. I don’t know if it’s true or false."

The cheerful atmosphere abruptly ended.

If Jiang Zhengnan was bringing it up now, it certainly wasn’t a trivial matter.

"What is it?"

"Recently, it seems there’s a secret international discussion about a resolution to flatten the Kandaya Forest."

"Ah?"

The words shocked everyone.

No one expected something like this to happen.

"Are you sure it’s not wrong?"

"At first, I had doubts too, but think about everything we’ve been doing over the past six months," Jiang Zhengnan said, leaning back in his chair:

"Apart from necessary probing, the majority of our time has been spent assisting groups two, three, and four with their investigations in the forest. This might be preparation for flattening the Kandaya Forest."

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Zhengnan continued:

"You all know that the presence of the Kandaya Forest impacts anyone who wants to go deeper. If it’s flattened, it won’t affect the landing on the island and will prevent unnecessary casualties. Everyone here is smart enough to understand the implication."

"That would be a good thing," said a member of Yanlong:

"The only pity is that the secret passage will be useless if the Kandaya Forest is flattened. However, it can still be used for a while. Let’s see how much we can pull off meanwhile."

The Yanlong members all expressed their agreement.

The team didn’t speak but nodded secretly.

Unnoticeably, Luyu glanced at Lin Yi, finding him seated quietly without any comment.

As if this matter had nothing to do with him.

For a moment, Luyu understood Lin Yi’s silence and his concerns.

Humans haven’t mastered the island’s advanced technology, yet the matters discussed in the secret passage are already becoming reality.

The true goal for human society is not to clear the Kandaya Ruins, but the creatures inside them.

Additionally, the rare tree species in the forest can be sold worldwide as luxury goods.

These are resources that everyone envies and will never be evenly distributed among all countries!

As for the beasts in the forest, although large and incredibly destructive individually, they are not much of a concern.

Human society possesses numerous powerful weapons, meaning these animals are no match for humans.

But isn’t this just a replay of the early 16th-century extinction of the Silver Indians?

Higher dimensions battling lower dimensions, superior forces crushing inferior ones.

Human greed is truly more terrifying than any flood or beast.

"This information is still under discussion, and it will take some time before it’s realized. At least we voted against it, but how long we can last, I don’t know," Jiang Zhengnan said:

"But even if it is implemented, it will have to be done layer by layer, and it won’t end anytime soon."

Luyu shook his head silently; whether the proposal was implemented or how long it took to complete was no longer important.

Because when the plan was put forward, the insatiable desire within human nature had already gone foul.

"Then the next task is patrolling the forest, right?"

Jiang Zhengnan took out a map, then drew an area with a pen on it.

"Here is our designated area, but combining the sides, there are over 30 kilometers of debated space, so these several areas are key defense points," Jiang Zhengnan said:

"The first group did this before, they know it well."

Lin Yi nodded, waiting for Jiang Zhengnan to continue.

"Recently, your operational area is this forest. Secure our territory, and we’ll dig deeper, waiting for the right moment for collective action."

"No problem."

"I know your capability. Here, apart from me and Little Lu, no one’s your match. Don’t feel wronged for doing this job," Jiang Zhengnan said:

"The reason for flattening the Kandaya Forest includes reducing the pressure of advancement, but also some experts predicted important scientific data might be buried underground. Your discovered tunnel is the best proof, so the larger our occupied land, the more we might gain."

"Specifying like this is too formal. We’re all here to work hard, a cog in the machine to be arranged as needed."

"If you can think this way, it’s for the best."

Jiang Zhengnan pat Lin Yi on the shoulder, "Get some rest early, we move in the morning."

"Alright."

Lin Yi and the team walked out, and the other members of the Yanlong Team left one after another, leaving only Jiang Zhengnan and Luyu in the room.

"What’s going on? Did something happen in the middle? I feel like Lin Yi seemed a bit absent-minded."

Jiang Zhengnan opened a can of beer, saying:

"And you, don’t seem too interested either."
