I have a space station

"Today's council meeting will primarily focus on Councilor Yan's proposal regarding patrols along the Yangtze River. Councilor Yan, please provide us with the specifics of this matter," the Speaker announced.

"Esteemed council members, four days ago, Mayor Xu of Jingmen City in Hanzhong Province reported a large infestation of mutated ants at the Changjing Resettlement Area, located five kilometers south of the Yangtze River in Jingmen City. These ants are enormous and extremely aggressive. They devour all vegetation in their path. I dispatched personnel to take some photos of the site, please take a look," Yan Zhengping said, rising and walking to the large screen.

The large screen began displaying slides, showing both wide shots and close-ups of the giant toothed ants.

The councilors were visibly shaken by the photos.

"The day before yesterday, these ants attempted to cross the Yangtze River and spread towards the Jiangbei region. Fortunately, we had set up a blockade on the north bank beforehand, and the ants' attempt to cross the river was unsuccessful."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It was certainly good that they hadn't crossed the Yangtze River.

"But consider this, if there's one group, there will be two, three. I don't believe this ant infestation is an isolated incident. Take a look at this," Yan Zhengping said, switching slides again.

"These are mutated cockroaches. Also two days ago, in Yujing City within the Southeast Military Region, a large number of mutated cockroaches attempted to cross the Yujing Yangtze River Bridge. Fortunately, the patrolling soldiers discovered them in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"From these two defensive campaigns, I have drawn several conclusions:"

"First: The regions south of the Yangtze River have a warm and humid climate, which is very suitable for insect breeding. It is now possible that various types of mutated animals have emerged."

"Second: These animals are characterized primarily by rapid reproduction and gregarious behavior."

"Third: These animals are not afraid of sunlight and can be active 24 hours a day."

"Esteemed council members, the Yangtze River will serve as a natural barrier to prevent these mutated animals from spreading. Once they breach this barrier, the northern regions will no longer be safe."

"Therefore, I propose that long-term patrols be conducted along the Yangtze River to protect the lives and property of the people," Yan Zhengping concluded, stating his views.

"Now that you are all aware of the situation, let's hear your opinions," the Speaker said.

"I agree. Once these insects cross the Yangtze River, we will have no defense. This means that no place will be safe. This will cause incalculable damage to the resettlement areas, and the consequences will be extremely severe," said Hu Qingying, Director of the Department of Health.

"I disagree. It was previously decided that each resettlement area is responsible for its own security, and the council will no longer intervene. In that case, why should we concern ourselves with these matters now?" said Chen Guanxuan, Director of the Department of Finance.

"I believe you are shifting the concept. The reason for supporting resettlement area autonomy is because the council has limited resources and cannot guarantee the safety of every resettlement area. At the same time, decentralizing power will help unleash the subjective initiative of each resettlement area and help improve their survival rate. But this does not mean that our decision is to shirk responsibility or even completely disregard the safety of the people. These are completely different concepts. I agree to patrol the Yangtze River to maintain the security and stability of the northern regions to the greatest extent possible," said Wu Shengrong, Director of the Department of Land Administration.

"I agree."

"I agree."

"Okay, let's proceed with the vote."

...

In the end, the council passed Yan Zhengping's proposal to patrol the Yangtze River with 16 votes in favor.

With the proposal passed, the four major military regions would be able to obtain support from the Department of Military Affairs for gasoline and ammunition. The most troublesome problem for everyone was finally resolved.

From this day on, the Yangtze River entered a phase of routine patrols.

Inside a secluded courtyard in Kyoto City.

"No armor have I, but I share my coat with thee."

"Hoping to live unknown, in peaceful serenity."

"Hello, I am Haiwang."

"Hello, I am Dai Zheng. Under the Commander's orders, I have brought you some manpower and equipment; it's all here," Dai Zheng said.

"Okay! Thank you!" Ling Zhenhai said.

"You're welcome. To ensure safety, I will leave a transport plane on the outskirts of Kyoto City. You can use it at any time if needed," Dai Zheng said.

"Okay!" Ling Zhenhai replied.

He had already read the mission email. It was of great importance, so caution was necessary.

"This place has been converted into a safe house, it is absolutely secure inside. If there is any danger, you can come here to hide," Dai Zheng continued to explain.

"Understood!" Ling Zhenhai continued to nod.

"Alright, the handover is complete, I'll be leaving now. I wish you a successful mission!" Dai Zheng extended his hand.

"Thank you!" Ling Zhenhai also extended his hand, and the two shook hands firmly.

...

7 days later.

July 27, 2055, Night.

Kyoto, an abandoned villa.

"Who's there?"

"Chirp chirp chirp ~"

"Ah ah ah ~"

"Bang ~" The door of a room was kicked open.

Seven or eight people in combat suits rushed into the room.

At the same time, more than a dozen people were guarding outside.

"How is it?"

"Still breathing, but unconscious."

"That's good, take him away!"

"Let's go!"

One person carried the unconscious person lying on the bed in the room, and the others followed behind, providing cover for a quick escape.

To avoid leaving clues, the corpses outside were also transported away.
