Lu Jianjun frowned.

The recent situation had been getting worse and worse. Data analysis showed that the average strength of the demonized beasts emerging from the abyssal rift was gradually increasing.

Especially since the recent use of special means to briefly communicate with other large sanctuaries, Lu Jianjun discovered that even though there had not been another large-scale emergence of abyssal rifts, new abyssal rifts were being born every so often.

Just like the one that had appeared in Maple Leaf Town.

Moreover, each abyssal rift continuously spewed forth demonized beasts, while on the human side, a good method of containment had yet to be found.

In areas like Lindong, the situation was still relatively optimistic, with countless awakeners going out every day to hunt demonized beasts. For these awakeners, hunting demonized beasts was their way of earning source crystals and making a living.

But for Lu Jianjun, his focus was on the entire region of Lin City. In his view, source crystals were only secondary; what mattered more was whether they could reduce the density of demonized beasts in the entire region and decrease the frequency of demon tide outbreaks.

"Perhaps we could consider increasing the point rewards for hunting demonized beasts to motivate awakeners to venture out for hunts. We also need to think of ways to expand the awakening hunters' range. Simply hunting around Lindong is not very effective in clearing the demonized beasts of the entire area. On the contrary, due to the scarcity of demonized beasts nearby, several significant battles have erupted over 'prey'."

Lu Jianjun pondered, continuously flipping through the documents on the desk, "The primary reason the awakeners' range of activity in the wilderness is so limited is because the nights are too dangerous; they generally dare not spend the night in the wild."

"If that's the case, we could establish transfer stations to extend the range of activity for awakeners. The defenses in the Maple Leaf Town area are already in place and can serve as a pilot region. This way, the range for Lindong awakeners can be extended southwards to a certain extent, alleviating the pressure on the many small sanctuaries on that side..."

He continued to think.

Thud, thud, thud.

The sound of knocking came.

After receiving Lu Jianjun's permission, a young intelligence officer came in, "Commander, regarding the Lin Wei matter, we have obtained the latest movements from the other side."

"Speak."

The intelligence officer organized his speech, "Based on our investigations and some intelligence from our informants, it seems that Lin Wei's target this time is related to a certain sanctuary, seemingly to acquire certain items."

"However, we can only narrow the range down to the sanctuaries in the south for now; we are unable to pinpoint which one specifically."

After reporting the situation, the intelligence officer left.

Lu Jianjun fell into deep thought.

He knew that Lin Wei had been up to some minor activities privately; there had been prior incidents of capturing survivors. This time, could it be that the other side was planning to lay hands on the people of an entire sanctuary?

Lu Jianjun felt that Lin Wei wouldn't be so overt about it.

In the wild, survivors disappeared and died every day. If Lin Wei wanted to capture survivors, all he needed to do was to act stealthily in the wilderness; it would be very difficult to notice.

But a sanctuary was different. Even a small sanctuary represented the perpetuation of human civilization.

Lu Jianjun also knew that these sanctuaries were informal and lacked restraint.

Some sanctuaries exploited survivors, while others experienced conflicts that resulted in the destruction of one side by the other.

Such incidents happened frequently in this land.

There was nothing he could do about it, but despite their numerous flaws, the existence of these sanctuaries was still more beneficial than detrimental.

But Lin Wei was also a high-level official of Lindong Sanctuary, even though he was not an official before the apocalypse but had become one because of the special circumstances after the apocalypse.

However, since Lin Wei already represented Lindong officials, thinking of making a move on other sanctuaries was even more of a red line for him.

Lu Jianjun believed Lin Wei must understand this point, which only deepened his confusion.

What kind of reason could have compelled Lin Wei to do such a thing?

"The south side has already sent people over, just, I don't know if they can find the other party before Lin Wei makes a move," he said with a frown.

At that moment, there was another knock at the door.

The person who entered was still the young intelligence officer from before.

Lu Jianjun's eyes lit up, "Is there some important news?"

"Yes, Commander, we've received crucial information, it's just..." The intelligence officer nodded, his expression somewhat strange, "Lin Wei was indeed planning to hit a Sanctuary, that Sanctuary is located sixty kilometers to our south, known as Green Shadow Sanctuary."

"Oh, so the Special Warfare Group's experts should have gotten there by now."

"No, the experts from the Special Warfare Group haven't reached there yet. No, that's not right, before the experts from the Special Warfare Group could get there, those people Lin Wei took with him... almost all of them have fallen, and we've even found Lin Wei's mangled body in the field."

The disbelief was clear in the intelligence officer's eyes; he seemed worried the Commander wouldn't believe such far-fetched information and added, "The source of the news is very reliable, and the Commander of the Special Warfare Group is already aware of this."

Lu Jianjun: "…"

Silence fell in the command center.

What could he say? What should he say!

Because the forces Lin Wei had taken were so powerful, he was worried something bad would happen. He had racked his brains for a solution.

Now, the intelligence officer was telling him that Lin Wei was finished?

After a long silence, Lu Jianjun cleared his throat, determination flashing in his eyes.

No matter what the reason, they couldn't miss this opportunity!

He quickly summoned his senior officers, "Keep a close eye on the people from Lin Wei's Second and Third Corps. These two Corps aren't Lin Wei's direct lineage and aren't that loyal. Those we can recruit, recruit, those we can't... "

Lu Jianjun, not a man of outdated principles, issued his orders decisively.

"Additionally, those personnel Lin Wei has planted in various departments must also be removed as quickly as possible... And, someone needs to visit Lin Wei's residence as well."

...

Lindong Sanctuary, Lanxi Villa

This was the residential area for Lindong's high-ranking officials, a corner of the whole housing complex, where the nearby villas all belonged to Lin Wei and a few of his important subordinates.

A luxurious villa near the creek was Lin Wei's residence in Lindong.

Several Awakeners with sharp gazes held guns and patrolled the area.

The sky gradually darkened, street lamps emitting a warm orange glow lit up, and the surroundings were very quiet. Apart from the sound of the patrolling Awakeners' footsteps on the road, nothing else could be heard.

In an unseen spot.

The shadow of a street lamp suddenly stretched, crossing over the wall of the villa.

From within the shadow of the street lamp, an ordinary-looking young man stepped out.

Grey Blade looked at the Awakeners outside, still oblivious, waved his hand, and the shadow of the street lamp retracted.

He then observed the villa's layout and found a crevice, using the same method to slip inside the villa.
