Reborn as a tiger, he was chosen by the nation as its guardian beast.

To be honest, Qin Tieshan couldn't understand this kind of behavior.

In his deeply ingrained belief, if any creature from another world dared to invade China, he would fight to the last man and shed his last drop of blood, and there would be no possibility of retreating even half a step.

run away?

In his view, this was a disgrace more unacceptable than death.

This so-called intelligent entity was indeed just a cold, alien being, not even qualifying as "intelligent life" in his understanding.

However, he would not let his guard down because of this; on the contrary, he would be even more vigilant and cautious.

He certainly didn't want such a disgusting tumor to silently grow beneath the soil of China one day in the future.

"Seal off this area completely! Cut off all exits with explosives!"

"We must prevent any intelligent entities outside from ever returning here."

Qin Tieshan quickly issued the order.

To be honest, he wished he could set this disgusting thing on fire right now and burn it to ashes.

But Gu Xing stopped him. This research fanatic said that this thing was an important reference for studying the technology of otherworldly civilizations and he hoped that it could be preserved intact for a period of time.

Although Qin Tieshan was extremely disgusted by this, he also understood that research in the field of artificial intelligence could not be prohibited, as it was even one of the main driving forces for the country's future development.

The military is now vigorously promoting the use of drones, robot dogs, and unmanned combat robots, and many of these were also used in this operation.

All he can do now is keep a close eye on China's artificial intelligence research direction, so that they don't go astray in the future and repeat the mistakes of this other world...

After the AI ​​agents here were sealed off, the battle finally came to a complete end.

But Qin Tieshan had no chance to rest.

In the following days, more and more people began to enter this other world through spatial rifts.

Besides the largest number of soldiers, Wang Hu also saw many researchers like Gu Xing, as well as a large engineering team carrying various large machines.

Meanwhile, as time went on, the number of drones over the city increased, forming a reconnaissance and defense network that covered almost the entire surrounding area, expanding the scope of their reconnaissance.

On the eighth day after entering this other world, Wang Hu even saw a fighter jet roar overhead, followed by a deafening sonic boom in the distance before disappearing completely into the horizon...

Judging from this posture, China is clearly prepared to take root here permanently and carry out long-term development.

These matters clearly require coordination from Qin Tieshan, the main person in charge.

As more and more people and equipment poured in, the temporary command center became increasingly crowded and noisy.

These people gather together every day, making a lot of noise, just like a vegetable market.

But today's argument was particularly intense.

The core of the argument was about the next main direction of attack.

After nearly a week of continuous drone reconnaissance, the situation in the surrounding area has been basically clarified.

Currently, there are three main areas near their occupied territory that are suspected to contain intelligent agents.

The first place is a small town that stretches across a large area.

Today, the town has been completely overrun by all sorts of strange mutants, including flying mutants with long-range attack capabilities. Any drones that approach are quickly destroyed by them, making it difficult to investigate the specific situation inside.

The second place is a vast lake.

The lake was so deep that the bottom was not visible. Although they tried to deploy two state-of-the-art unmanned underwater probes, the devices inexplicably lost all contact as soon as they entered the lake.

The last place was a vast desert.

That desert was covered with countless enormous, bizarre plants that resembled cacti.

Although this place seems the most normal, according to the analysis of researchers such as Gu Xing, the intelligent beings in this world have killed almost all the native plants and animals on this planet.

Therefore, wherever there are still traces of life, whether plants or animals, there is a high possibility that a part of the structure of an intelligent entity is lurking underground.

Naturally, those giant cacti are no exception.

The reason everyone was arguing was that both the mutants in the town and the giant cacti in the desert were multiplying at a rate visible to the naked eye.

It is unknown how much the number of mutants has increased in just seven or eight days, but the area where the giant cactus has grown has almost doubled.

Moreover, judging from the direction of their expansion, it is clear that they are intentionally forming a huge encirclement around their city.

Two days ago, Qin Tieshan had already ordered a probing attack on those giant cacti with howitzers.

But the result was not as expected.

Those strange plants were unusually sturdy, and it was difficult for artillery shells to break them directly. Even if a few were occasionally broken off, they could grow back at an even faster rate the next day.

Therefore, some people suggested that before these cacti spread completely, they should concentrate their firepower to break through the intelligent entity under the desert. Once the core is destroyed, the hidden danger can be eliminated.

However, this proposal immediately met with fierce opposition from another group of people.

Because the desert area is so vast, no one knows exactly where the core of the intelligent agent is hidden.

Moreover, those giant cacti also have offensive capabilities. When they are attacked by artillery shells, the thorns on their bodies explode outwards. Tests have shown that the power of the thorns is comparable to that of bullets.

In comparison, the threat of mutants in that small town was more tangible.

A significant number of people suggested that while the number of mutants there is still relatively limited, we should take advantage of the situation and wipe the area out completely in one fell swoop!

And it was precisely when the two sides were locked in a stalemate that...

"Beep beep!"

Suddenly, a crisp cell phone ringtone sounded.

The entire command hall fell silent. Everyone stopped arguing and looked at Qin Tieshan, who was sitting in the main seat.

Because everyone understands that this communicator will only be activated in case of an emergency.

Qin Tieshan, who was sitting in the main seat with a frown, listening to the argument, immediately picked up the communicator.

"Hello!"

"I am Qin Tieshan!"

He began to speak.

But after hearing only two sentences from the person opposite him, his expression immediately changed.

He stood up abruptly, a serious expression on his face.

"There's no need to argue anymore!"

"I'm afraid we can't fight anywhere anymore; something even more troublesome has arisen."

At this point, Qin Tieshan looked around and said in a deep voice, "Just now, a drone operator discovered that another spatial rift appears to be forming in the desert between the town where the mutants gather and the vast expanse of cacti!"
