Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Bird Catching Plan
If it had been usual days, should only Yang Lao San behaved so nervously at night, Tang Baona would undoubtedly have tried to investigate. And if it was only Tang Baona always daydreaming, suddenly singing a song she had never sung before, Yang Zhen Er would surely have sensed something unusual, trying to tease Nana, trying to discover her “secret”, and then fantasizing a “behind-the-scenes truth”.
But tonight, after a near plane crash, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen Er both made significant “discoveries.” One discovery was within themselves, another was from Old Xia, but their attentions were now entirely on their respective “discoveries”.
After eating their late-night snack and helping Xiang Kun wash the dishes, clean up the kitchen, everyone returned to their rooms to sleep.
Yang Zhen Er strongly invited Old Xia to sleep in her and Nana’s room, suggesting they have a long conversation, but she was declined. She then proposed to sleep in Old Xia’s bedroom, but was declined again.
However, despite Yang Zhen Er’s excitement, after returning to her room and finishing her nightly routine, she fell asleep within 30 seconds.
On the other side, Tang Baona wasn’t faring much better. She had just lain down and was thinking about creating lyrics for the song she had decoded from Yang Lao San’s emotions. Fiddling with her phone, she fell asleep before she could think of a single line of lyrics. Her phone fell and hit her in the forehead, causing her to scream out.
Tang Baona rubbed her sore forehead, the two lines of lyrics she just thought of were gone, unable to recall them, decided not to think about it anymore, and threw her phone aside to sleep.
Sitting in the living room downstairs, Xiang Kun only got up and went out when he sensed that Tang Baona, Yang Zhen Er, and Old Xia had gone to sleep. He walked to the courtyard.
“Where is it now?” Xiang Kun couldn’t be bothered to enter the “Super Sensory State” to sense and search, so he asked directly.
Alice’s voice came from the phone: “It’s here, boss! I’m watching it!”
Xiang Kun looked down at the map location Alice sent, which was in a forest at the junction of Haixi Province and Jiangyou Province.
The sky indeed was Xiang Kun’s “blind spot” for the “Super-connected Object Network.” Otherwise, the “mutated big bird” wouldn’t have been able to successfully attack the plane. But as long as the “mutated big bird” emerged, with Alice’s current calculation and deduction capabilities, and the coverage range of the “Super-connected Objects” that have been deployed, plus the distribution area of “Xiao Luobo’s” “offspring plants,” it could completely analyze its flight trend, use the method of elimination to guess its possible landing area.
According to the type of birds brought and driven, Alice guessed the area where the “mutated big bird” wrapped and drove these birds, knew where it might have hidden before;
According to its past behavior pattern, the cognitive model of it established by Xiang Kun and Alice inferred that it had a safe flight range. After failing to attack the passenger plane, it would have a certain escape distance if not immediately pursued. It would feel safe enough to land after flying far enough;
If it fell in an area with “Super-connected Objects” distribution, whether it was a city or a mountainous area, needless to say, Alice could immediately locate the position;
If it had not appeared in the area with “Super-connected Objects” distribution within the flight time calculated by Alice, there is a high probability that it was in the place where “Super-connected Objects” had not been deployed yet – mostly in the forests;
Of course, if it could fly long distances across several provinces, this method would be much more difficult. Even if it found it, it would take a long time. But according to the model established by Xiang Kun and Alice, not to mention whether the big bird has such strong long-time flight ability, it would not fly so far at one time based on its behavior style.
In the end, Alice was able to locate the “mutated big bird” by deploying “Xiao Luobo’s Offspring Plant Group” in Haixi and Jiangyou provinces with the assistance of the fourth and fifth level ant colonies to make a directional range seed throw, and increase the “offspring plant” throw in several mountainous areas where the “mutated big bird” may land. Then, when Xiang Kun was making a late-night snack for Nana, the exact location of the “mutated big bird” was identified.
In the past few months, “Xiao Luobo’s” “offspring plants” have been deployed on a large scale, but the main direction is within Haixi Province, and then it started to expand along the coastal cities, to the northern Zhi Jiang Province, to the southern Guangdong Province, Gui Hai region; most of the mountainous areas are full of “offspring plants,” and some parts of Jiangyou Province are also under the control of “Xiao Luobo.” However, considering the control limit of “Xiao Pingguo” itself over the “offspring plants,” Xiang Kun didn’t dare to let it expand and occupy the territory all at once, so there is still space for the “mutated big bird” to hide.
If Xiang Kun really starts to put effort and resources into search, unless the “mutated big bird” can stay in the sky all the time, or live in the sea directly, it would be impossible for it to hide.
According to the location of the “mutated big bird” determined by Alice, if an ordinary person from Chongyun Village wants to go there, undoubtedly, the first step is to drive through the provincial highway to enter Jiangyou Province, then get off the highway at the nearest exit to the mountainous area, and drive to the closest place a car can reach, and then get off the car to climb the mountain. The entire process would take at least tens or even more than twenty hours, especially the last step of climbing the mountain depends on the individual’s ability.
But for Xiang Kun, there is a “shortcut” if he wants to rush over.
Because Chongyun Mountain is connected with the mountainous area where the “mutated big bird” is, he can enter directly from Chongyun Mountain, and “cross the mountains” in his way.
Carrying a large amount of “Super-connected Objects” on his body, and there were ‘super-connected objects’ that had been previously deployed in the surrounding mountains, as well as the “offspring plants” of “Xiao Luobo,” so Xiang Kun could create a very suitable Super-connected Object application environment. He could call up the “Electric Mastery Flight” ability without needing to make large-scale disturbances to the weather and affect changes in the potential of the atmosphere.
While this invocation of ability could not make him fly, it could let him glide and leap in the mountains, using the difference in terrain to make some aerial movements, coupled with his own super-strong mountain cross-country, running, and climbing ability, greatly improved his moving speed in the mountains.
Leaving in the early hours of the morning, he estimated he could reach the location of the “mutated big bird” before dawn.
During the time he’s rushing over, besides continuing to monitor the “mutated big bird,” Alice also had a lot to do.
According to Xiang Kun’s plan, dealing with the mutated big bird mainly has several stages:
First, locating; Second, clearing the space; Third, deploying Super-connected Objects to create home-field; Fourth, Xiang Kun enters; Fifth, resolving the conflict and the subsequent cleanup.
The first, second, and third stages are all solved by Alice. As for “Location,” it is using the “super sensory item system” to call upon all resources to find the location of the “mutated big bird.”
For “Clearing the space,” Alice uses her control over the network and all electronic products to guide people who may appear around the target to create an undisturbed and non-invasive area.
“Creating home-field,” naturally, is deploying “Super-connected Objects” in the target area. Although there were plenty of “offspring plants” of “little radish” used for location before, their absolute number was not enough. To be foolproof and to prevent the target from escaping using its flight ability again, a large number of “Super-connected Objects” are required.
