Chapter 167 - Burning Rice Fields (1/2)

Fortunately, Qin Feng was well-informed about this fact and with the help of his strong consciousness, he sealed away his internal strength, allowing his body to return to its original tranquil state. Soon, he too, drifted into the land of dreams.

This night however, was not as tranquil to a handful of other people. On the contrary, it was a night filled with excitement and adrenaline!

When dawn broke, Qin Feng observed that a large portion of students from Chengbei Colony wore dark circles under their blood-shot eyes.

“Did you guys struggle to sleep well last night?” Qin Feng asked as he eyed a couple of other students.

While Zhou Hao also had dark-circles under his eyes, like that of a panda, he also had an excited look on his face.

“Nope, not at all! I slept well!”

The corner of Zhang Tianche’s mouth twitched. Just who was it that kept his ear glued to the wall the entire night before?

Zhou Hao, rubbing his eyes tiredly, wanted to share something that he caught wind of last night—a teenie weenie secret shared only between men.

However, upon catching sight of Bai Li, the feeling of pain crept up in Zhou Hao’s heart.

“You goddamn normie, you won’t ever feel the pain of us single men. Just one look is enough to tell me that you slept like a king last night!”

He was not wrong but Qin Feng did nothing in bed the night before.

“Don’t badmouth others to make up for your own shortcomings. I used my internal strength to block out all the noise last night. I bet you spent the entire night listening to the symphony, I mean look at those circles!” Qin Feng retorted.

Lu Meng and Zhao Yu looked at Qin Feng with contempt.

“Ahem, that’s where you’re wrong! You’ve misunderstood what I did, Qin Feng!” Zhou Hao exclaimed. Then, with the voice of a mouse, he whispered into Qin Feng’s ears, “You gotta save me some face, man. I wanna spend the rest of my life filled with joy and having pretty women to squeeze!”

Qin Feng held back his laughter. “Alright fine. Hurry up and get some chow, prepare for battle afterward!”

Most of them could not help but discuss the events last night so they ate only pieces of bread or hardtack crackers that were in their rations.

It appeared that they had already lost their appetite for a heavy breakfast.

[Beep Beep Beep!]

Everyone’s communicators rang out in unison. Qin Feng lowered his head to the noise, only to discover that it was calling for a voluntary joint-forces operation.

Such missions were announced every morning, ordering for a specific street to be cleaned up. There, they would have to pour beast-repelling powder all over to prevent the insectoids from breeding and thus, quell the population surge of their enemy.

These sort of operations provided a much needed sense of uniformity in their quest to recapture Han Town.

Though, the setbacks were equally as jarring. In the event that the chosen street was the nest of a crazy-strong beast, then the loss of a few men was inevitable.

Of course, in order to minimise unnecessary casualties, each street would be assigned to at least a handful of teams in order to secure the place without major hiccups.

Qin Feng raised his finger and pressed down without hesitation on the reject button.

Considering his capabilities, there was no need for him to engage in such operations.

On the other hand, after a round of serious discussion, Zhou Hao and co finally decided to participate in this operation.

And so, the daily report on the insectoids’ distribution around Han Town was updated. The most accurate information on this typically came right after dawn, which was right now.

[For today, our sweeping operation will be conducted in the East and South Districts of Han Town. Clearing teams, streets 55-58 are your targets. Members who have yet to participate in this operation, please proceed to other districts!]

“I’ve had my fill. Time to go!”

Qin Feng finished up the final piece of hardtack and brushing the crumbs off his hands, he stood up.

“Right! Stay safe!” Zhou Hao said as he waved at his friend. He would have to remain there until further orders were given to his team.

“You guys too! If you bump into any trouble, I want you to immediately send me your coordinates, understand?”

“No problem!” Zhou Hao nodded.

After releasing the umbra stallion, Qin Feng and Bai Li climbed up onto its back.

With just a few leaps, they had arrived at an area just outside the provisional colony. It was then that they noticed a few large vehicles transporting bags of pungent substance that almost made one’s eyes water.

“Stinky!” Bai Li immediately pinched her nose shut.

“Then you should hold your breath for a little longer! Qin Feng climbed down the horse and walked to the front of the convoy.
