Chapter Sixty: Popping Sounds Are More Important Than Two Billion

  ♂?,,

  For the soldier ants, they are just following the orders of the ant queen to hunt for nutritious food as much as possible and make their own contributions to the prosperity of the colony. However, under their efforts, in just three or four days, more than a dozen villages have disappeared...

  Indonesia is a very complex country, known as the land of a thousand islands with tens of thousands of islands - it's called the land of a thousand islands despite having tens of thousands of islands, maybe because "thousand islands" sounds smoother than "ten thousand islands"...

  Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago, spanning Asia and Oceania. While there are many nice places in this country, more areas still have numerous culturally diverse indigenous tribes. There are over 300 of these indigenous tribes just in Papua province alone...

  The Korowai are one of the last remaining primitive tribes in the world. They were once referred to as "cannibals" until the 1970s when they made contact with the outside world. To this day, they still live a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, dwelling in treehouses, eating insects and using tools such as bows and arrows.

  Experts have long lamented that the Korowai people remain stuck in the Stone Age.

  In this country where many primitive tribes still exist, it is normal for several tribes to suddenly disappear and not be discovered in a short period of time. However, within just a few days, more than a dozen villages have disappeared one after another, some of which are not even primitive tribes. Moreover, Sumatra is not as remote as Papua, making it difficult for the Indonesian government to remain unaware of this incident.

  However, at first, the Indonesian government did not think in the direction of ants - it's normal, after all, they didn't know about this matter either.

  At first, the Indonesian government thought that a ferocious beast had appeared in the Bungo Island area. Although many ability users were temporarily out of business after the Indian War, the Indonesian government still issued a subjugation task through the association, offering a reward of $5 million to invite ability users to solve this matter and find out the truth about the disappearance of the village. If they could find the villagers back, that would be best; if not...

  Let's get rid of the culprit then...

  Five million US dollars is enough to hire a C-level talent or a team of this level.

  Soon, a team consisting of 1 C-rank ability user and 4 D-rank ability users was formed to take on the request to go to Bungo Island. This is also a common practice among ability users, where ability users form teams to carry out requests.

  No way, the association's intelligence always goes wrong. Sometimes it's clearly a B-level task, but it's labeled as C-level, and the executor ends up dying miserably.

  As a result, some ability users gradually began to form teams to complete tasks. Although the reward had to be shared with others, the efficiency of completing tasks was greatly improved, and most importantly, safety was significantly enhanced, at least reducing the number of deaths caused by the Association's intelligence.

  ————————————————————

  After the dispatch was sent, the Indonesian government thought that even if this matter could not be successful immediately, at least some useful information would be returned. However, the team that went to Bangka Island for the punitive expedition disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea and never came back, not even a single message was returned...

  At this point, the Indonesian government also began to realize the severity of the situation.

  However, on the other hand, after losing contact with the team, the village on Bangka Island also began to disappear, which also misled the Indonesian government that the strange beast on Bangka Island was likely to have been severely damaged.

  At this time, the Indonesian government did not know that the village would stop disappearing just because those five ability holders provided a large amount of nutrients and energy to the ant queen, so they temporarily stopped hunting. However, the Indonesian government didn't think so, they simply recruited another team of ability holders after sending out this message - since the financial crisis in 2000, the finances of various countries around the world have not been good.

  For example, in India, at the beginning of the financial crisis, both India and Western countries were loudly proclaiming that India's GDP growth rate had surpassed China's. However, within two years, this growth rate was halved...

  Indonesia is also more or less the same, the economy has not been doing well in recent years, especially after the appearance of the heteromorphic beasts. On one hand, they have to repair the damage caused by the heteromorphic beasts, and on the other hand, they have to pay a large amount of military expenses and the fees for the ability users, so if they can save some money, it's better to save some...

  Although the previous team disappeared under mysterious circumstances, after reading the analysis of the Indonesian government, there were still teams that took on this task. After all, five million is not a small amount for ordinary people. Even for Yan Shao, before receiving the reward from the Indian government, five million was not a small sum for him either.

  Then...

  This team has also gone missing...

  Two consecutive C-rank teams have gone missing, and although the Indonesian government didn't want to pay more, the association still raised the mission rank from C to B. In other words, only those with B-rank abilities or B-rank teams can take on this task...

  The Ability Users' Association is not a death squad, although I don't know how many countries wish these uncontrolled ability users would just hurry up and die, but the association can't think that way.

  So after raising the remuneration, the association re-released the commission.

  As one of the many capable individuals within Indonesia, Yan Shao naturally also received this new commission.

  However, at this time, Yan Shao and Elaino's relationship was making great progress, and it was only a step away from "slamming" together. If the opportunity arose, they might be able to "slam" together tomorrow. Moreover, after receiving the Indian government's reward, Yan Shao didn't think much of the newly increased 20 million yuan reward, so he simply turned off the communication device's screen.

  Turn off the screen and look at Elaino in the distance, a smile appeared on Yan Shao's face.

  As for the $200 million reward, let other B-level ability holders take care of it.

  For Yan Shao now, 'slapping' is obviously more important than those 20 million, after all, Yan Shao is not a person who values money highly. For him, the more money the better, but it's not necessarily so, sometimes having enough money is just fine...

  "How about we go for a walk in the woods today..."

  He got up and walked over to Elaino's side, Yan Shao said with a smile.

  "Alright..."

  After all, not everyone has a net worth of over 10 billion like Yan Shao, so after the release of the 200 million commission, new capable individuals set out quickly, and then...
