Dongling Park.
Sergeant Tang Wen drove the snow vehicle, moving forward at a leisurely pace.
Flurries of snow were kicked up, forming a dragon-like trail behind the vehicle.
During the previous hunt for the mutated wild dog, he was the first to notice the ravens writing in the snow. Ultimately, Mr. Spirit Crows discovered the wild dog and helped the second squad kill it.
As a result, Tang Wen gained rit and was appointed as a liaison officer due to this minor connection.
Another liaison officer nad "Ding Yiqiang" sat in the backseat of the snow vehicle, looking slightly nervous.
Ding Yiqiang loudly said, "I’ve heard people say that the Crow’s Nest is kind of spooky."
Rumors about the Crow’s Nest and the Spirit Crows have been flying all over the Liren Special Team’s Linjiang City substation these past two days. It’s hard not to hear them.
Tang Wen, with an indifferent tone, said, "I’ve dealt with Mr. Spirit Crows before. I think his personality is quite gentle, and he definitely won’t harm us. What are you afraid of?"
No sooner had he finished speaking.
A dark shadow suddenly darted over from the side, practically brushing against Tang Wen’s nose.
At the sa ti.
"Caw!"
A crow’s call reached his ears.
Tang Wen was startled, instinctively turning the steering wheel to the left.
The snow vehicle imdiately began to tilt.
Tang Wen realized the danger and quickly turned the steering wheel to the right.
The snow vehicle wobbled in a serpentine curve, narrowly avoiding a tree, and finally regained balance.
Tang Wen stopped the snow vehicle, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and asked, "Did a crow just fly past?"
Ding Yiqiang was terrified, his heart pounding: "I think it was a crow."
The guy added, "I feel like that crow intentionally flew right in front of us."
Tang Wen had the sa feeling and started grumbling: "D*amn it."
Ding Yiqiang, recalling his colleague’s earlier words, couldn’t help but say, "Is this what you ant by ’Mr. Spirit Crows is gentle’?"
Tang Wen laughed awkwardly: "Maybe it was just a coincidence."
Ding Yiqiang didn’t buy it for a second: "Coincidence my ass, that Spirit Crow did it on purpose. You said the crow is spooky, the Spirit Crow must be displeased."
Tang Wen said nothing.
Ding Yiqiang didn’t waste any more words and simply said, "Let’s finish the task quickly and get out of here."
Tang Wen nodded agreeably.
He restarted the snow vehicle, driving towards the Crow’s Nest, which was claid by the Spirit Crows, at an even slower speed.
Five minutes later.
The Crow’s Nest ca into view.
Tang Wen’s heart was still shadowed with fear, and he didn’t dare approach, stopping the snow vehicle twenty ters away.
At that mont.
"Caw!"
Dozens of ravens suddenly let out a loud, synchronized call.
The park was eerily quiet, and the ravens’ calls were nerve-jangling; the sound was quite chilling.
Tang Wen felt a shiver, a strong urge to turn back.
Ding Yiqiang’s face was also grim: "What are the Spirit Crows shouting about?"
Tang Wen shook his head: "I don’t know, but it’s definitely not a welco."
Ding Yiqiang looked at his colleague: "Do you think this is also a coincidence?"
Tang Wen felt more embarrassed.
He got out of the car, quickly changing the subject: "Let’s go over."
Ding Yiqiang didn’t move: "I’ll stay here to watch the car."
The ravens were behaving too bizarrely, making him uneasy and unwilling to go over.
Tang Wen snorted: "There isn’t a soul here, are you worried soone will steal the car?"
Ding Yiqiang had no choice but to get out of the car.
Trudging through the thick snow, they struggled to a spot ten ters away from the Crow’s Nest, and stopped unanimously.
Dozens of ravens perched on the tree, silently staring at them, doing nothing.
Tang Wen mustered his courage and shouted loudly, "Respected Mr. Spirit Crows, we are liaison officers sent by Liren."
*
Yue Bay District.
"... Liaison officers sent by Liren."
Yang Fan, through Liu Hei’s eyes, watched the two highly anxious liaison officers and couldn’t help but smile.
In fact.
Ever since he sensed the Primordial Star Formation, his Spiritual Language Superpower had mutated, and he gradually realized that many Spirit Crows had mutated.
Black No.33’s ntal transformation was rely the most obvious example.
More than a dozen Spirit Crows had undergone a slight mutation, barely noticeable.
Liu Hei, who just teased the liaison officers, was one of them.
Its flying speed had beco notably faster than other Spirit Crows, and it even mastered tricks like "flying backward" and "flying belly-up."
Its judgnt of speed and distance had beco extrely precise.
Couple that with Liu Hei’s playful nature, it passed right by Tang Wen’s nose, nearly causing the liaison officer to flip the car.
Tang Wen’s voice continued, "Mr. Spirit Crows, recently we’ve encountered a very difficult task, and we implore you to assist us."
Yang Fan thought to himself, "Indeed," and quietly issued a command.
In Liu Hei’s view.
Dozens of Spirit Crows landed quickly, wrote a line of large letters, and then swiftly returned to the Crow’s Nest.

Dongling Park.
Tang Wen glanced at it and was montarily stunned.
Because there was a sentence written conspicuously in the snow—Let see the docunt.
Ding Yiqiang reacted: "Mr. Spirit Crows, please wait a mont, I’ll go get the tablet."
He laboriously trudged through the thick snow towards the car parked in the snow.
Tang Wen then realized that Mr. Spirit Crows didn’t want to listen to him talk and preferred to see the docunt.
Quickly.
Ding Yiqiang returned with the tablet.
"Caw!"
Liu Hei flapped his wings and pecked at the snow with his beak.
Ding Yiqiang understood the motion and knowingly placed the tablet on the snow.
He didn’t forget to say, "Mr. Spirit Crows, the docunt is already open."
Liu Hei hopped a few tis, stood in front of the tablet, and began viewing the docunt.
The two soldiers watched the "crow viewing the docunt" scene and felt it was quite surreal.
After a few seconds.
Tang Wen recalled sothing and, trying to be helpful, said, "Mr. Spirit Crows, the docunt has many pages, let help you..."
Before finishing the sentence.
He abruptly stopped.
He saw Liu Hei quickly peck the screen, and the docunt imdiately flipped a page.
Tang Wen stood there awkwardly.
After about ten seconds.
Liu Hei pushed off the ground with both feet, flapped his wings, and flew back to the Crow’s Nest.
Tang Wen stepped forward respectfully and asked, "Mr. Spirit Crows, the operation will begin in an hour, would you like to participate in the action?"
"Caw!"
Liu Hei called out again.
A group of crows flew down, leaving three words in the snow: "I will go."
The two soldiers both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Bay District.
The entrance was still bustling.
Many people expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of resources, while the officials were trying their best to explain.
Yang Fan ignored it all.
He recalled the contents of the docunt and mused to himself: "Interesting."
As expected, the trouble Liren encountered was indeed related to mutant creatures.
Drawn by the allure of Spiritual Source Points, he certainly wouldn’t ignore it.
The general experience of this incident was as follows:
Five days ago.
A farr in the North Suburb suddenly discovered that all the chickens and ducks they raised had died overnight, even the family’s cat was bitten to death.
Many corpses were gnawed on and scattered everywhere, making the scene quite bloody.
The farr was terrified and imdiately reported to the Patrol Police Station.
The officers quickly sent people over for a detailed inspection, and from the traces on the wounds, they judged the culprit to be so type of rodent.
The Patrol Police Station keenly realized that this was not a simple matter, so they reported it to higher authorities.
The farr, on the other hand, didn’t stay idle.
The family, both shocked and angry, bought a large amount of rat poison and laid it out all around their property and nearby areas, effectively creating a "rat poison formation."
This thod indeed proved effective.
The next day.
The farr found at least twenty rats poisoned to death.
Regrettably, this move brought disaster to the family.
Another day passed.
A neighbor, noticing the farr’s house was eerily quiet, went over to check and found the whole family dead.
This included an elderly person over seventy and a child just three years old.
The neighbor was scared out of their wits and hurriedly reported this to the Patrol Police Station.
By this point.
The matter had escalated.
The Patrol Police Station quickly locked down the village and contained the information.
Upon hearing the news, the Liren Special Team ca, investigated the cri scene, and conducted autopsies on the bodies, concluding the culprit was a mutant rat.
Due to the small size of the mutant rat, there were too many places it could hide.
Digging a hole in any corner or simply creating a deep hole in a field could render even infrared detection equipnt ineffective.
Liren found themselves helpless and had to seek help from him, the "tracking expert."
Honestly.
Yang Fan was quite surprised after fully understanding the entire matter: "Rats actually learned to retaliate by killing people? This world is too fantastical!"
He thought that the mutant rat likely killed the farr’s family as revenge for the poisoning.
After a few seconds.
Yang Fan suddenly heard a sharp shout.
"We’ve had no power in our community for so long, we’re starving and freezing every day, we’re living in fear every day..."
