【Communication starts】

[Good morning, Sir Xia Yan. Agent codename "Lamb" reports to you. 】

[Good morning, Agent Lamb. The Hurricane is currently crossing the Taiwan Strait and will arrive in the waters of the Philippine Islands tomorrow morning. Please report on the situation in the two counties in Southeast Asia. 】

[Okay, sir. The first is Ten Thousand Islands County. After Joseph's recruitment order was issued, the death penalty and serious prisoners in various prisons on Luzon Island, which is closest to Manila Fortress 5, were upgraded and integrated that day. They are now gathering in the city of Mariveles to learn how to operate underwater working equipment. 】

[Other places in Ten Thousand Islands County: Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. Eligible prisoners on the four major islands are also sent to Mariveles by military aircraft in batches. It is expected that they will be sent to Mariveles by tonight. All will be shipped. 】

[Is that so? It seems that the battle plan of infiltrating among the prisoners of Wandao County is not feasible. By the time the Hurricane reached Luzon, we were already too late. 】

[Yes, so my suggestion is: start with Baoxiang County. 】

【Tell me. 】

[The large transport ship "Brachiosaurus" is docked at Sihanoukville Port in Baoxiang County, and a large number of underwater working equipment is transported to Manila. Accompanying them are two "White Shark" class troop transport ships, used to carry Baoxiang County prisoners and soldiers responsible for escorting them. 】

[When will this fleet set off? 】

[The day after tomorrow, September 1st, because there are still many equipments not in place, it takes time to prepare. 】

[How is the fleet’s escort force? 】

[It is in name only, there are less than two hundred soldiers on board, and they are incompetent. 】

[Very well, Agent Lamb. If this organization can successfully seize Manila No. 5 Well, you should be the first to take the lead. 】

[The officer was joking and did not dare to take the first credit. I have been lurking in Baoxiang County for more than five years and have not made any achievements. 】

[No, this is the organization’s plan. After all agents are integrated into the federal department, the organization will cut off contact with them until the operation comes. This will protect the security of agents to the greatest extent possible. 】

【I see. My identity has never been revealed. Because of this, not long ago, I was told that I was selected to join the garrison team of Fortress No. 5. 】

[Garrison team? 】

【Yes. Joseph ordered a team of ability users to be stationed in Manila to prevent another alien invasion accident in Well No. 5. 】

[Do you know the members of this team? 】

[Unclear, but Joseph seems to have sent one of his bodyguards to be the leader of the team. The bodyguards of federal cabinet members are undoubtedly those with dragon level abilities or above. 】

[Well, it is indeed not easy to deal with. What else do you know? 】

[There are five people in this team. Except for the captain, the other three are all ghost-level ability users. Joseph transferred me to the garrison, and I was Raymond's bodyguard; I heard that a bodyguard of Governor Palmer of Ten Thousand Islands County was also transferred to the team. 】

[Deploy the escort officers of the governors of the two counties? Doesn't that mean that there are only two guards left around Raymond and Palmer? 】

[Yes, this is exactly what I want to suggest to the commander: after Palmer's escort and I go to Manila, the security forces of the governors of the two counties will be empty, and the organization can assassinate and attack them. 】

[I will report this matter, let’s talk about Fortress No. 5. I want to know more about the alien invasion incident. 】

【OK. Before the Tropic of Cancer nuclear-powered submarine ordered by Hughes Lopez destroyed Fortress No. 5, the image of the alien invasion that caused the accident had been transmitted. This terrifying strange bird was named the long-throated bird because of its thick and long esophagus. 】

[Currently, animal experts can only analyze this new and unknown creature through video. Because the entire section above the metal hall of Fortress No. 5 was destroyed, no body specimens of the long-throated bird were collected. 】

[Many speculations by animal experts need to be verified with specimens, which is one of the reasons why Joseph is eager to rebuild Fortress No. 5. Experts can't figure out why the most common alien creature, the smoke lizard, has long-throated birds in its belly. Are they parasitic or symbiotic? Are they found only in smoke lizards or are they also found in other creatures? Why didn't the smoke lizards have such things in their stomachs before? and other problems, and solving them all requires the bodies of smoke lizards and long-throated birds. 】

[Research on long-throated birds has stagnated, but the fact that hundreds of strange birds can slaughter the entire fortress defender caused a great shock among the top federal officials. Someone in the federal cabinet has proposed to gradually transform the garrison method of the 49 Shenwu Wells around the world into the BTS model. 】

[Uh...wait a minute, what is BTS mode? 】

[Sir, I know that you have been undercover at the BTS headquarters for many years. You must know that BTS Minister Lu Yin used a completely different method to deal with the alien creatures in Shanghai Well No. 2 than the other forty-eight fortresses. 】

[After he took office as minister, he immediately began to dismantle the metal hall at the bottom of Fortress No. 2, and at the same time established a ninth branch for the purpose of training new troops. Other fortresses relied on automated weapons in the metal hall to fight alien creatures. Only Fortress No. 2 under Lu Yin mobilized a large number of troops for defense. 】

[The battle loss rate of the soldiers stationed in Fortress No. 2 is extremely high, but at the same time, these elite soldiers who have fought against alien creatures many times have rich experience in fighting the enemy. Their fighting instincts are by no means comparable to the soldiers of other fortresses who spend all their time in retirement. 】

[The garrison soldiers in Fortress No. 5 relied too much on the ambush hall. After the long-throated bird broke through the hall, they had almost no means of response. Even after Colonel Griffin, the commander-in-chief of the fortress, was killed in battle, he could not even organize a decent counterattack. 】

[Federal senior officials saw the hidden dangers of the ambush hall in this accident: because of its existence, many soldiers have not even fired at alien creatures; but when it is lost, soldiers with no experience in fighting the enemy will become Lamb for the slaughter. 】

[Therefore, some people suggested that the fortress garrison use automatic weapons and soldiers to cooperate in combat, which can not only train troops, but also not cause as high a battle damage rate as the No. 2 Well. 】

[It seems that Lu Yin's combat philosophy has entered the eyes of the federal cabinet. When machines lose their function, humans are the last line of defense to hold on to the fortress. This is the essence of the BTS mode. It seems that the experience of facing off against enemies in Shanghai Fortress 2 is about to be staged one after another around the world. 】

【Yes, sir. 】

[Well, it seems that the research on the long-throated bird and the mutated smoke lizard will not progress until the ruins of Fortress No. 5 are cleared. The organization is very interested in alien creatures that have never been seen before, but for now it is better to wait. 】

[Sir, I have been transferred to the squad of garrisoned ability users. I want to use my position to collect as many specimens as possible and send them to the organization for research. 】

[Yes, but be sure not to expose it. This matter is not the first priority. The organization still needs you to continue to lurk for a few days. Soon the organization will storm Fortress No. 5 and complete the recovery. At that time, you can return to the organization. 】

【Yes, sir. 】

[There’s no need to speak one officer at a time. Bein, we are the same generation who entered the revival at the same time. 】

[...Sir, please call me Agent Lamb]

[Why is it so complicated? I've wanted to say it for a long time. The Hurricane's avionics system has been encrypted at all levels, and our conversations will not be monitored in any form. 】

[Hey, Xia Yan, I only have a few days left in my undercover career. I don't want to lose my guarantee late at night. 】

[No, Bein, to be honest, the title doesn’t matter the most. If our conversation is leaked, you will definitely be the first target of Federation suspicion. Besides you, which undercover agent would use typing to communicate and report to his superiors. 】

[...Okay, I must admit, what you said is very reasonable. By the way, I reported before that the guy who made a big fuss in Bangkok yesterday was said to be the Ripple Clan. How did the organization handle this matter? 】

[Oh, you mean those three... forget about the Ripple Clan, the Stone Ghost Face and the Pillar Man. They are old acquaintances of mine, and I never expected that you would meet in such a dramatic way. 】

[Okay, but Raymond doesn't seem to be very reassured about them, so he asked me to investigate the origins of the three people and the authenticity of their statements. 】

[You should act according to the situation. You can also use drag-and-drop tactics. Anyway, you will be recruited to Manila soon. Is there no problem? 】

【No. They blew up the small plane they were traveling in, and it was difficult for investigators to analyze anything useful from the wreckage, so the progress was slow and it wouldn't hurt to delay for a few days. 】

[Very good, do you have any other information you would like to add? Agent Bein. 】

【there is none left. Agent code name Lamb, report completed. 】

[Good luck to you, Bein. 】

[I also wish you smooth operations in Wandao County, sir. 】

[See you later. 】

[See you later. 】
