Armor Guardians

Chapter 255 Expansion
"Then you decide what to do. At worst, I'll consider it a mission failure."

"Row."

Seeing that Xia Qianmeng remained so casual, Ding Jing stopped talking about the matter and began to reveal things that couldn't be reported in the outside news, such as which force had been swallowed up by which force, and what changes had been made to the Golden Group after the Antarctic expedition.

These are all rather private matters, and ordinary people simply don't have access to firsthand information about them. The news also won't broadcast these kinds of events that make people feel insecure.
During this time, Lyatlantis remained very quiet, and even the appearance of alien beasts decreased. It wasn't that people didn't like a more peaceful life, but this tranquility felt like the calm before the storm.

Xia Qianmeng listened quietly to Ding Jing's story while simultaneously playing a game, a task that was not difficult for her at the moment.

At the same time, she felt that Ding Jing's words made a lot of sense. It was the calm before the storm, but even if she knew the storm was coming, there was nothing she could do. Even if she could do something... she didn't know what to do.

After all, we don't even know what kind of disaster is coming.

Ding Jing wouldn't stay at Xia Qianmeng's place to steal Xia Qianmeng's bed overnight, so she would leave at certain times to report her work progress to the people outside. At the same time, the people outside were also quite afraid that Ding Jing would be persuaded by Xia Qianmeng.

Little did they know, Ding Jing had no intention of helping them brainwash Xia Qianmeng.

Before Ding Jing left, Xia Qianmeng asked her to pass on some messages to her parents, sister, and master. After receiving Ding Jing's assurance that the messages would be delivered, Xia Qianmeng felt more at ease staying there.

That's right. Xia Qianmeng was worried about some people outside because she had been slacking off here, but now that someone has helped her convey her thoughts, she no longer needs to be afraid that they will continue to worry about her.

As for contacting others online, Xia Qianmeng could manage that. After all, these people didn't restrict her freedom of movement except for allowing her to move around freely. However, she was afraid that some of them might be experts she didn't know. If she rashly contacted them online, she might expose their location.

Therefore, Xia Qianmeng felt that having Ding Jing relay the message was the safest option.

As the days went by, the staff here gradually began to ask Ding Jing about the results of the brainwashing. Ding Jing answered truthfully that Xia Qianmeng had received training personally guided by the head of the Shadow Group. Although she had become somewhat corrupt, her qualities in certain aspects still surpassed those of many special agents, so the brainwashing work was almost useless.

Although the staff here had already suspected this, they couldn't help but feel disappointed when they heard that it wasn't working, and then they went to look for other methods.

Despite her disappointment, Xia Qianmeng's treatment was not diminished in the slightest.

Xia Qianmeng was imprisoned. Without this powerful weapon, some forces that had been eyeing the Shadow Group and the Black Group but were hesitant to act began to stir. Beneath the calm exterior lay a turbulent undercurrent.

A month later, dozens of powerful and enormous mutant beasts suddenly entered Earth from space, heading straight for the Atlantis Sky Island...

Gurgle, a feeble first update.
