Dream Legend

Chapter 122 The Truth Behind the Locust Plague

On that star-studded night, Wu Shandi lay on the bed, his consciousness gradually sinking into the mist of dreams.

He seemed to have traveled through time and space and came to a world that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

There, he met his old friend, the Right Guardian Bluebird.

The silhouette of the right guardian blue bird was like a blue meteor, cutting through the dark dream sky and landing in front of Wu Shandi.

There is a gleam of wisdom in its deep eyes.

"Wu Shandi, the disaster you have witnessed is not God's will." The voice of the right guardian blue bird echoed in the dream, clear and powerful.

Wu Shandi was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Could this be caused by humans?"

"That's right." The right guardian Blue Bird nodded and continued, "There is an unknown black hand behind this locust plague. Someone used forbidden techniques to awaken the locusts that had been sleeping for a long time underground, causing all this."

"But why would they do this?" Wu Shandi frowned, his confusion evident in his words.

"Power, greed, or a deeper conspiracy." The right guardian blue bird spread its wings, as if guiding something, "You must find out the truth, otherwise, this disaster is just the beginning."

As the words of the Right Protector Blue Bird fell, Wu Shandi felt an invisible force surging into his heart, and his consciousness gradually became clearer.

He knew that he had the responsibility to save the village and had to uncover the truth behind the locust plague.

The dream gradually faded away, and Wu Shandi woke up with a determined fire burning in his eyes.

On this unusual morning, sitting at his desk, Ma Guoqiang frowned as he listened to Wu Shandi's report.

"So, you said that Lord Bluebird told you in a dream that the locust plague in the southwestern border town was man-made?" Ma Guoqiang raised his head, his eyes full of confusion.

Wu Shandi nodded, looking serious: "Yes, Director. I know it sounds incredible, but we have to investigate."

Ma Guoqiang rubbed his temples. He was not a superstitious person, but he also knew that sometimes the most incredible stories often hide the most real clues.

He sighed: "Okay, since you said so, you will lead the team to investigate. Bring Du Xiaoyong, Pei Lili and Xin Ke with you, they are all capable hands."

Wu Shandi smiled slightly, he knew that this was the director's trust in him.

He turned and walked away, secretly planning his upcoming investigation.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the room. Wu Shandi packed his bags and took Du Xiaoyong, Pei Lili and Xin Ke on a journey to find the truth.

As the train slowly pulled out of the platform, he cast his gaze toward the rolling mountains in the distance and swore to himself that no matter what the truth was, he would uncover the secret behind the disaster and bring a glimmer of hope to the town.

After a long journey, Wu Shandi finally arrived at the small town that was suffering from the locust plague.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the dilapidated houses. The trees on both sides of the street had been eaten away, leaving only bare branches. The air was filled with dust and the smell of withering.

The residents all looked ashen, as if their vitality had been drained away, and their eyes were filled with unspeakable fatigue and despair.

As soon as Wu Shan and his companions stepped into the town, they immediately felt an atmosphere so heavy and depressing that it made them breathless.

They walked slowly, visiting local villagers from house to house.

Every time they knocked on a door, they were greeted by the same panicked, distressed face.

The villagers had no idea what to expect from this sudden locust plague and were filled with confusion and fear.

"What should we do? Our crops are all ruined!" said an old farmer in a trembling voice, his eyes full of tears.

"There is no food at home, and the children are crying with hunger..." Another woman cried helplessly.

Faced with such a tragic situation, Wu Shan and others felt extremely heavy-hearted.

They decided to do their best to help these poor people get through their difficult times.

They told Wu Shan the fourth person that the disaster seemed to have come overnight and was extremely violent, and did not seem to be a natural occurrence.

In a tavern, Wu Shandi and his friends met Zhang Xiaomei, a local agronomy expert.

She is studying soil samples in the hope of finding a way to stop the locusts from reproducing.

During their conversation, Zhang Xiaomei revealed her suspicions: "The behavior patterns of these locusts are very strange. They seem to be manipulated by humans to gather and attack specific areas."

At night, the lights in the town were sparse. Wu Shandi and his friends walked on the quiet streets with Zhang Xiaomei, discussing their next plans.

After careful consideration, they decided to split into two groups: one group continued to collect relevant evidence, while the other group focused on exploring potential human influence factors.

At the end of this desolate and sparsely populated field, the sharp-eyed Wu Shandi noticed something strange.

Several strings of strange and bizarre symbols vaguely appeared on the land beside the field, like mysterious codes.

There is no pattern in the arrangement and combination of these symbols, but they seem to contain some deep meaning.

Wu Shandi has sharp insight and accurate judgment honed over many years of experience in the world.

Wu Shandi thought to himself, "The appearance of such strange symbols is definitely not accidental. It is very likely that they are inextricably linked to the locust plague..."

A strong intuition surged into his heart, making him more and more convinced of his inference.

He carefully recorded these findings, preparing to discuss them further with Zhang Xiaomei the next day.

In the night of this border town, their figures appeared particularly determined, for they knew that the truth was waiting for them ahead.

As the investigation deepened, Wu Shandi and his companions were surprised to find more and more disturbing signs.

After passing through a deserted area, they came to a dilapidated warehouse that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

When I opened the door, a stale and decayed smell hit me. The warehouse was filled with all kinds of sundries.

But in the corner, some strange sealed containers caught everyone's attention.

When they got closer and took a look, everyone couldn't help but gasp - these containers were actually filled with densely packed locust eggs!

What is even more shocking is that the number of these eggs is astonishingly large, far beyond the normal range.

They are neatly arranged in containers, as if waiting for a certain moment to come.

"What is going on?" Wu Shandi frowned and muttered to himself.

It is obvious that these containers were not placed here randomly, but someone deliberately hid them here and carefully planned to hatch these locusts.

This discovery made the whole incident even more confusing, and a huge mystery shrouded everyone's mind.

By chance, they rescued a villager who was being chased by several mysterious people.

The villager's name was Liu Yong, and he told them tremblingly.

He had seen some people spreading strange objects around the town at night, and then locusts followed them.

Wu Shandi and others thought to themselves that if this was really done intentionally by someone, then this person or this organization must be no simple person.

Thinking of this, everyone made up their minds to get to the bottom of the matter.

When night fell, the group quietly headed towards the abandoned warehouse.

Everyone was extremely cautious along the way, for fear of making any noise and alerting the enemy.

After entering the warehouse, they began to search around with the help of the faint moonlight.

Suddenly, a ray of light in the corner caught their attention. When they got closer, they found that it was an old oil lamp, and next to it was a yellowed notebook.

Everyone picked up the notebook and started flipping through it as if they had found a treasure. They saw that it was filled with dense records of various time nodes and many confusing scientific terms.

After careful research, a shocking truth gradually surfaced.

It turns out that this sudden locust plague was secretly manipulated by a mysterious organization!

This discovery left everyone dumbfounded. They could never have imagined that someone would be so cruel as to create such a disaster.

At this moment, Wu Shandi and others felt that the burden on their shoulders was heavier, because they not only had to find a way to solve the current locust plague problem, but also had to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and bring peace to the people.

Wu Shandi frowned and said to Zhang Xiaomei, "We must be careful. The power of this organization may be much greater than we thought."

Zhang Xiaomei nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "No matter what, we can't let them succeed."

They carefully put the notebook away, ready to use as key evidence.

As they left the warehouse, they carefully avoided the mysterious patrolling men.

Once back in their safe haven, they began analyzing the notebook's contents, trying to figure out the group's next move.

On this quiet night, their hearts were filled with determination. No matter what difficulties they faced, they must expose the conspiracy and protect the town from greater disaster.

As the investigation deepened, Wu Shandi and his friends as well as Zhang Xiaomei found themselves involved in a complicated conspiracy.

They found a vague report in the pile of old newspapers in the town library, which mentioned that a company called "Green Field Biotechnology" had conducted agricultural experiments near the town, but suddenly stopped all activities shortly afterwards.

Through a series of tracking and investigation, they found Li Zhiqiang, a former employee of the company.

In a shabby cafe, Li Zhiqiang nervously revealed some sensitive information to them.

It turns out that the company's real purpose is to use genetic modification technology to create super pests to control the growth of crops and manipulate the market and prices.

Wu Shandi and Zhang Xiaomei realized that they were facing not only a natural disaster, but also a greedy business conspiracy.

They must find conclusive evidence as soon as possible to expose the crimes of this organization.

However, as they get closer to the truth, danger is quietly approaching.

One night, when they had just left Li Zhiqiang's home, they were suddenly attacked by unidentified people.

In order not to alert the enemy, they managed to escape and hid in a narrow alley.

Wu Shandi held Zhang Xiaomei's hand tightly and whispered, "We must be more careful. This organization is more dangerous than we thought."

In the following days, they began to act more cautiously, collecting information during the day and hiding in safe places to analyze the data at night.

They knew that every detail could be the key to unraveling the conspiracy.

In this dangerous environment, their cooperation became more tacit. They believed that as long as they persisted, they would be able to uncover the thick fog.

As time went on, the investigation activities of Wu Shandi and Zhang Xiaomei attracted the attention of the secret organization.

They found their movements increasingly restricted, as if the enemy's eyes and ears were hidden around every corner.

But they did not retreat, but followed the clues more firmly.

Late one night, they received an anonymous letter revealing that a new batch of locust eggs would be delivered to a secret location in the town.

This was a perfect opportunity, and they decided to take action to disrupt the deal and cut off the source of the pests.

In a dark woodland, Wu Shandi and his companions and Zhang Xiaomei approached the transaction location quietly.

They saw several masked men transferring batches of containers to a truck.

They looked at each other, then split up and tried to create chaos while leaving enough evidence.

Things didn't go as smoothly as they expected.

In the chaos, a masked man accidentally triggered the alarm, and suddenly the sirens sounded loudly, alarming the entire forest.

Wu Shandi and his companions and Zhang Xiaomei were forced to embark on a violent escape because they had no evidence and were afraid that the other party would destroy it.

They returned to their temporary hideout, where they examined the container samples brought back from the trading site and were convinced that these were the cause of the locust plague in the town.

They knew that the evidence was enough to prove the crimes of the secret organization.

Despite the huge risks, their hearts are filled with the fire of fighting.

They understand that the days ahead will be more difficult, but they are ready to meet any challenge.

In this crisis-filled battle, their courage and wisdom will be the most powerful weapon against evil.

After a series of tense and difficult struggles, Wu Shandi and Zhang Xiaomei were finally ready to make their discovery public.

They contacted local media and government departments, presenting in detail the samples brought back from the transaction site and a series of other irrefutable evidence.

On the day of the press conference, the town's conference hall was packed.

When Wu Shandi and Zhang Xiaomei walked up to the stage and presented the solid evidence, the whole audience was shocked.

They recounted their investigation, revealing how this secret organization manipulated pests to control crop markets.

As the truth came to light, the residents of the town were furious.

Authorities took immediate action and arrested several key figures suspected of being involved in the conspiracy.

At the same time, the government also sent a professional team to deal with the remaining locust problems and promised to compensate the affected farmers.

In the days after the truth came out, the mood in the town changed noticeably.

Residents are no longer immersed in panic and helplessness, but have begun to actively participate in the work of rebuilding their homes.

The efforts of Wu Shandi and Zhang Xiaomei were recognized and appreciated by everyone, and their brave actions inspired everyone.

On a sunny morning, Wu Shandi stood in the town square, watching the busy people repairing houses and cleaning the streets.

He felt a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before.

Although the process is difficult and long, he believes that as long as people unite as one, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.

The future of the town will be full of hope and vitality, and it all starts with their pursuit of the truth.
