Chapter 1767 Prepare to fight

"Advisor, we've finally gotten in touch with you again. Are you alright?"

Gu Chen had just returned to the ground with Nishida Jiro and the others when he received a communication from Oyama Kazuki from headquarters.

It turns out that after Gu Chen led Nishida Jiro and the others into the cave, the headquarters lost contact with Gu Chen and the others.

This really terrified Daiyama Ichiki.

Fortunately, the life sensors on the team members were still showing a healthy green, which eased Da Shan Yi Shu's anxiety a little.

Fortunately, Gu Chen and the others were out of contact for only a short time, about ten minutes, and communication was restored.

Upon seeing this, Daiyama Kazuki immediately sent a message to Gu Chen to check if Gu Chen and the others were alright.

"I'm fine. This incident is a bit complicated. I'll explain the details when I get back."

Gu Chen turned on the communicator and said.

"Okay, when will you be back?"

Upon hearing Gu Chen's voice, Daiyama Kazuki breathed a sigh of relief and then casually asked.

"It will probably take some more time. We need to issue an emergency evacuation order near Wang Yue immediately, and at the same time, have Ito and the others come over to carry out strategic deployment."

Gu Chen considered it in his mind and decided to make thorough preparations first.

Although these preparations cannot affect the final outcome, they at least give UGM a sense of involvement.

"An emergency evacuation order? A strategic deployment? Advisors, what exactly happened? Has it been an alien invasion?"

Upon hearing Gu Chen's two consecutive orders, Daiyama Kazuki's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again, and he asked in a serious tone.

"It's nothing serious, just a precaution against a possible war. But it's not a war between cosmic invaders, but a war between surface humans and subterranean humans."

"Alright, that's all for now. If you want to know more, come along and we'll talk in person."

Gu Chen didn't intend to say too much about what was happening here on the communication channel, so after saying that, he hung up the communication.

Back at headquarters, Kazuki Oyama and Emi Shirono exchanged a glance, both somewhat shocked by what Gu Chen had just said.

"Captain, I remember... weren't the underground people wiped out?"

After exchanging a glance with Kazuki Oyama, Emi Shirono spoke with some uncertainty.

"It's estimated that the previous underground people were eliminated, and now another group of underground people has appeared."

"Ichiki Daiyama guessed."

"How many subterranean people are there on Earth?

Shirono Emi was speechless for a moment, but at the same time she was also a little curious.

"The Earth is so big, and the distance between the surface and the core is so deep, the number of people living underground is probably beyond our imagination."

"Speaking of which, don't forget the cave leading to the underground world in the Asama Mountain Monster Nature Reserve. The underground world has been clearly discovered, but the information is highly confidential and has not been made public yet."

As he spoke, Kazuki Oyama made a few gestures on the communicator before saying, "Ito, your rest period is temporarily over. We have a mission."

"Yes!"

The next second, Ito Junkichi's powerful response came through the communication broadcast.

Before long, Junkichi Ito led his squad members to the operations room. After a brief explanation of the situation by Kazuki Oyama, Kazuki Oyama led the team to the hangar.

Since Gu Chen requested a strategic deployment, the spaceship Mami once again took to the skies, along with several fighter jets piloted by Ito Junkichi and others, and quickly flew towards Mount Wangyue.

This time, UGM mobilized its entire force.

……

"Advisor, is there anything we need to do now?"

Just as Gu Chen hung up the call, Nishida Jiro came over and asked for instructions.

"Just be ready for battle at any time."

Gu Chen replied without hesitation.

"Battle preparations? You mean we're likely going to war with the subterranean people?"

Jiro Nishida raised an eyebrow and said with some surprise.

"Start a war? Weren't we just having a good chat?"

Sakata Jiro asked in confusion.

"That just means I had a good conversation with the Queen of the Underworld, but it doesn't mean that my conversation with the Queen of the Underworld will be accepted by other ruling Underworld people."

"Besides, have you forgotten about negative energy?"

"According to joint research by Meng and the Science Department, negative energy is most likely to appear where negative emotions gather."

"And can you expect the people living underground, who are currently facing the collapse of their underground world, to maintain a positive and healthy emotional state at all times?"

Upon hearing Sakata Jiro's question, Gu Chen immediately began to explain.

"I see. So even if the Queen of the Underground gets along with us, it's still possible that when she takes our conversation back, it could still cause strong opposition from within the Underground community."

"Then, under the influence of negative energy, some powerful subterranean beings might very well bypass the subterranean queen and launch a war against us?"

After listening to Gu Chen and Sakata Jiro's conversation, Bai Tujun immediately realized what was going on and said.

"If war really breaks out... that would be a real problem."

Aoshima Ichiro's brows furrowed immediately.

War is never an easy topic, especially when facing an underground human race roughly the same size as humans.

Even though humanity on the surface has improved its combat capabilities over the years due to monster disasters and alien invasions, once the war begins, even if humanity wins, some civilians will still die.

No matter how fast UGM moves, casualties are unavoidable.

Because the Earth is so big, you never know when underground people might emerge from some hidden corner.

They don't even need to surface; they can simply tamper with things underground and cause the entire city to sink underground.

Although underground humans may not have such technology, it cannot be ruled out that they do not, so Ichiro Aoshima took it into consideration.

As they were talking, the roar of fighter jets came from the sky, and the silhouette of the spacecraft Mami could already be seen on the horizon.

Daiyama Kazuki and the others were quick, and soon Gu Chen arrived at the cockpit of the spaceship Mami.

"Advisor, the residents near Wangyue Volcano have all been evacuated. What is the next strategic deployment? How many enemies are there?"

As soon as Daiyama Kazuki saw Gu Chen, he couldn't wait to speak.

Seeing that there was no movement underground and the radar was calm, Gu Chen told Daishan Yishu about what had happened after they entered the cave.

As they listened to Gu Chen's story, the expressions on the faces of Daiyama Kazuki and the others changed repeatedly, especially when they heard that there were a total of 40 billion people living underground, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
