Collapse: Black Moonlight Turns White, Popular Four-Star Character

The half-foot-high military newspaper on the desk almost buried Lan. Lan turned on the device, and a digital map appeared in front of everyone. The areas on it were divided into red, light red, yellow, and green areas.

Red represents the most vulnerable areas, with the highest number of people infected by the Sun. Light red is less dangerous, yellow is moderate, and green is a safe zone.

"With that special talisman... we can temporarily seal it when we find it."

"But Sui Yang is becoming increasingly cunning. I can't imagine how many more are hiding in the crowd. Zhu Ming has already been put on high alert. Lan, we need more manpower."

"We must intensify the thorough investigation of the region and maintain strict control." The strategist circled the map with a pen, his eyes dark and his expression slightly tired.

Lan also had dark circles under her eyes. She blinked hard, trying to get rid of the soreness in her eyes, but she blinked too hard and her tear glands spasmed, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"General... he's still under control. He's not in such a state of misery that he's crying, right?"

The deputy general looked up, bewildered. So far, the parasites they had discovered had almost no casualties. At most, they were confused and needed to rest for a few days.

The situation doesn't seem that bad, but Suiyang is an unknown species after all, and maybe there are bigger ones to come.

"Why are you crying?"

"You are the first person to point out Sui Yang's characteristics and parasitic situation. Be more confident and just do it!" The strategist patted Lan's shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"Who's crying?"

Lan shook his head, lips slightly parted. "Also, I already said it, it wasn't me who proposed it, it was—"

Before he could finish his words, the door opened with a bang, and a soldier saluted and reported, "General, there's a strange young man outside. He's wearing a mask and says his name is Yun. He wants to see you."

"Brother Yun, it's Brother Yun!"

"He actually came to see me!" Lan was shocked and turned to look at the strategist, "Did I hallucinate after staying up all night..."

Less than a minute later, Yannian arrived at the door holding another soldier's coat.

The soldier was listless, his ears drooping as he stole a glance at Lan and whispered, "Um, General..."

"He suddenly got angry and said the notification was too slow and he insisted on going in."

"Of course I won't let you...but I can't beat you..."

"Why are you so slow in reporting? Can't you make a phone call?" Yannian frowned and scolded the soldier who reported first.

The soldier hesitated and could only look at Lan.

Lan wiped her tears, took out her old-fashioned cell phone from her bosom, and smiled awkwardly, "The phone is muted because of the meeting...Brother Yun, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"And have you eaten yet?"

"I was too busy this morning and didn't have time to cook, but I left a large sum of money for patrol." Lan waved his hand, signaling the two soldiers to retreat and move forward to Yannian.

Seeing Lan's red eyes, Yannian thought that Lan couldn't handle the pressure and sneered, "Useless, you're crying already?"

"What a shame."

The strategist and the deputy general were shocked to see Lan being so attentive to a stranger. Lan was very gentle to people around him, but he had a cold face to people he didn't know well.

Besides, no one has ever dared to speak to Lan like this, openly mocking him. Is this the person Lan picked up?

It's only been a few days and the relationship is so good.

"I'm not crying!" Lan said through gritted teeth.

"It's just that my eyes are sore... I blinked hard a few times."

"I won't embarrass you..."

Lan pursed her lips, tilted her head slightly, lowered her eyelashes, and quietly brushed past the corner of Yannian's lips. She paused for a moment, then suddenly turned back, afraid of being discovered.

"Take this and ask the craftsmen to make more."

"Also, I bought this...an antique from your time. Add your contact information and add me to your work group. Notify me in time if you find anything." Yannian was too lazy to listen to Lan's explanation. He took out the drawings and the instrument he made, stuffed them into Lan's hands, then took out his mobile phone and added.

"When Sui Yang appears, it can be detected immediately."

The strategist and the deputy general looked at each other with raised eyebrows, feeling puzzled - what is an antique? This is the latest version of the mobile phone developed by Xianzhou. It has an awesome name, called the Tri-fold Screen Noah AK47, which is waterproof, anti-electric, and anti-mistress.

The three-fold screen looks like a fairy boat no matter how you fold it.

Yannian fiddled with his phone and complained in his heart that this broken phone was not as good as his iPhone 9800, the Ten Kings Edition. With a swipe of his finger, he could see dozens of screens, and it was waterproof, shockproof, and Jingyuan-proof.

"Brother Yun, please scan me." Lan took out his cell phone.

Meow——"Yun" wants to add you as a friend.

Quack——"Lanfu Zhuyun" has agreed.

Damn, I forgot to change the name, it’s over!

The sound floated faintly in the air, Lan's pupils trembled, and he just wanted to find a time chicken to go back a few seconds.

Others were used to it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, Lan had been using this online name for many years. Except for the strategist's jokes at the beginning, "General, he's like Kuafu chasing the sun, why are you chasing clouds?"

"You're still using the word 'father'? Do you want to be Yun's father?"

"Chasing the clouds won't kill you with thirst. Don't make such vulgar jokes. Father is an elder or a leader. Chasing is a process."

At that time, Lan corrected the strategist's semantics, and these four words perfectly matched his state of mind.

But now I feel a little embarrassed when Yannian sees me.

Yannian looked at Lan's online name with a frown on his face. It was very good, an in-depth interpretation, and there was nothing wrong with it, but on the surface it had a complicated meaning.

Forget it, he is an educated man now and won’t bother with Lan.

Quack—Lan pulls you into the core team, the Cloud Rider Squad.

"That's it. Mass produce, find the location and send it to the group, and also give me the information of the currently sealed parasites."

Yannian put away his phone and made his request without any hesitation.

Lan flipped through the information and handed it to Yannian, not letting go when Yannian held the edge.

Yannian exerted some force, but the paper remained motionless. He raised his eyes and said in a more serious tone, "Give it to me or not?"

"Are you really okay?"

"Sui Yang--", Lan lowered his eyes, guessing that Yun's intention was to capture Sui Yang. He remembered that when he arrived that day, the pharmacy owner had lost his mind and Sui Yang was nowhere to be seen. Yun... must have swallowed Sui Yang.

It is really mysterious that he knows Sui Yang very well and can even devour Sui Yang.

"At least better than you." Yannian snatched the information and put it into his storage bag. He stretched out his hand and raised it, signaling the strategist to hand the electronic pen to him.

The strategist glanced at Lan, and seeing that the general did not refuse, he placed the pen in Yannian's palm.

Yannian leaned over, touched the electronic pen to the map, and blue light poured like mercury, crawling rapidly along the veins of the city.

Yannian placed many diamond-shaped marks on it. His voice was low, but it suppressed Lan's heartbeat. "Establish multiple points to centrally store the sealed parasites. At the same time, build a new system to distribute the detection equipment."

"I will send a document to the group and contact the craftsmen to complete it. I must ensure that the results are transmitted into the system in real time and the Cloud Riders team is in place in time."

Yannian spoke calmly to the strategist and several deputy generals. Lan watched Yannian lean forward slightly, delivering precise instructions with concentration and restraint.

Lan was distracted for a moment. He could almost imagine Yun's expression through the mask - his brows were slightly furrowed, but he was calm and composed.

This imagination was so real that Lan felt as if his chest was inexplicably hit.

He even forgot to point out... not all soldiers were called Cloud Cavalry, only his personal team was called Cloud Cavalry.

When he came back to his senses, the strategist and deputy general were all looking at him.

Lan coughed a few times hurriedly to cover himself up, "What... happened?"

"General, Yun's plan is generally sound, but we still need to discuss the details, and... the system, which will take time."

"If it's effective, it can also help relieve some of the pressure on Zhu Ming." The strategist pointed to the map, which was covered with symbols. There were several question marks on it. They didn't have enough people, so they had to ask for support from the nobles and soldiers from other places.

"I see…"

"Yun, thank you." Lan said in a low voice as he looked at Yun who was turning around to leave.

“There’s a price to pay.”

"Only you know."

Yannian left without looking back.
