Chapter 857: A Sudden Cry

July 18, 2016, Monday.

"What exactly is a signal of this frequency?"

Lin Feng looked at Jing Wu, furrowed his brows and asked.

The signal from beyond Three Light-Years, after nearly a month of collection, was finally translated into strings of Witch Tribe characters.

Lin Feng is proficient in Witch Tribe script.

But after seeing these irregular strings, he also felt his head hurt.

To give an analogy, it's like scrambling thousands of Chinese characters, randomly picking different ones, and forming passages.

At Lin Feng's prompting, Jing Wu still stared at the paper covered with Witch Tribe characters in her hand.

After a long while she finally said, "On Earth, Chinese characters are the best script. If you translate them into letters, I won't understand."

"Tell me!"

Lin Feng lit a cigar and said lightly.

At this moment, he was not at all impatient.

Because Jing Wu had already told him she could translate it.

Jing Wu fell silent again.

Lin Feng turned his head and exchanged a glance with Qi Yao sitting beside him.

Qi Yao also wore an indifferent expression.

At that moment, the younger witch came out from inside, carried two cups of tea, and placed them before Lin Feng and Qi Yao.

In front of Lin Feng was a milk tea.

It still had the flavor Lin Feng was familiar with.

Qi Yao received iced black tea, brewed from real tea leaves, with a bit of sugar and chilled with ice.

On a scorching day, such tea is the most thirst‑quenching.

"Hurry up and tell!"

The younger witch, waiting impatiently, stared at Jing Wu with a sharp gaze.

Jing Wu pursed her lips and said, "Why don't you translate it? It's only three pages, but it contains a huge amount of information."

After speaking, she lowered her head and looked at the paper in her hand.

Lin Feng asked the younger witch, "Has Lin Chang'e come by these past few days?"

The younger witch shook her head, "I haven't seen her for a long time. Did she mess up again? I just thought of a new punishment method."

"What is it?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

The younger witch said, "First, three days of confinement, then hang her up and flog her, adding some Tung Metal powder to the whip so her wounds heal more slowly. Then soak her in Alcohol…"

Before she finished, Lin Feng shivered, thinking that the younger witch, acting like a mother, must hold a grudge against her daughter!

"That's too much!"

Lin Feng furrowed his brows and said.

Jing Wu laughed, "This kind of punishment is really easy, isn't it? You don't know that in the past, Witch Tribe children who erred were have their limbs cut off and soaked in a vinegar vat.

The vinegar also suppresses cell division and wound healing, causing the wounds to itch strangely.

As time passes, the senses not only don't become numb, they become stronger.

Also, instead of the vinegar vat, put in the cannibal ants you mentioned, starting with a few.

If they don't admit their mistake, the cannibal ants will multiply until they chew the whole person into a pile of white bones…

"Stop talking and look at your documents!"

The younger witch furrowed her brows and glared at Jing Wu.

Then she explained to Lin Feng, "Lin Chang'e is not like ordinary children; these punishments are cruel for regular kids, but for her it's like a normal child being beaten with a vine whip.

"Ahem!"

Lin Feng coughed, "It's just that she hasn't seen anyone for a while; Little Chang'e hasn't made a mistake."

"That's good!"

The younger witch nodded.

Then the younger witch asked about the recent behavior of the other children.

She finally reminded Lin Feng that the enhanced children are not only intelligent but also extremely bold.

If not properly educated, they easily develop a ferocious temperament.

For future mistakes, the punishment can refer to the method she just suggested.

As for the punishments devised by the mothers like Liang Shishi and Guo Yanru, they remain confined to ordinary women's thinking and never treat the children as different beings.

Speaking of which, how many of the children's mothers would view their own child as a monster?

……

Jing Wu saw Lin Feng and the younger witch chatting happily, and helplessly set the documents down.

She had intended to put on a show, but now sees no need.

"Alright!"

Jing Wu shouted.

"What content?"

Lin Feng asked.

Jing Wu said lightly, "Before translating this information, I need to give you a brief overview."

"If I don't explain the Witch Tribe's history, you'll ask later, so I'd rather finish it now to save you extra words."

Lin Feng nodded.

Jing Wu picked up the milk tea that the younger witch had placed in front of Lin Feng and took a sip.

Lin Feng, Qi Yao, and the younger witch all looked at Jing Wu with strange eyes.

A disdainful expression appeared on Jing Wu's beautiful face. "Is it just a sip of your tea? How petty!"

After a complaint, she said, "We have to start with the Witch Tribe's experiences many years ago. That was a chaotic era; of course, I didn't live through it, but my parents were from that time."

"At that time I was still in my mother's womb…"

Half an hour later, Jing Wu finally finished her story.

"How did you know these things?"

After Jing Wu finished, the younger witch asked.

Jing Wu said, "Because you were born on Earth and have never been exposed to this information."

"And I, having been stationed on Yue Ya Dao, saw it before some of the data was destroyed."

Jing Wu told a long story.

Simply put, it was internal strife within the Witch Tribe, and external tribes took the chance to wipe them out.

The defeated Witch Tribe members began to flee.

During the escape, they didn't all gather together and flee in one direction.

Instead, they split into several groups and scattered.

One part ended up on Earth.

The rest didn't know each other's whereabouts.

Although the Witch Tribe's technology was advanced, in the context of the entire universe it was still unimpressive.

And the signal coming from beyond Three Light-Years was from a Witch Tribe spaceship.

This spacecraft was of a higher class, belonging to the Witch Tribe's royal fleet.

"When translated into Earth language, this ship can be called the Taiwu Ship, and its owner is named Taiwu."

The Taiwu Ship has an automatic cruising function; it can autonomously detect enemies and then change course to flee.

It will only stop when it encounters a suitable Habitable Planet; after careful reconnaissance shows no danger, it will awaken the Witch Tribe members aboard the Taiwu Ship.

Although it is only Three Light-Years from Earth, for us of the Witch Tribe it is not too far.

Perhaps it received a message sent after our ancestors arrived on Earth, so it replied.

"Do we need to respond here?"

Qi Yao frowned and asked.

Jing Wu shook her head and said, "No need, because although the universe is vast, information can travel far. The message sent from the Taiwu Ship does not require a reply, because… it is actually a command!"

It commands us to, before it arrives, build a massive palace, select many beauties, prepare lavish food, and so on, to welcome the arrival of Prince Taiwu.

Afterwards, Prince Taiwu will lead everyone to thrive in this new home, and once their strength is sufficient, they will return to reclaim the planet belonging to the Witch Tribe.

"Do you mean the Witch Tribe members on that ship have not yet awakened?"

Qi Yao asked again.

Jing Wu nodded, "Yes! Only after the Taiwu Ship gets close and sees the situation it expects will Taiwu be awakened."

Otherwise, Taiwu would become angry and feel insulted.

Moreover, the intelligence controlling the Taiwu Ship would be overwritten by a new Intelligent Program; these intelligences have self‑awareness and also fear death.

If we do nothing now, the Taiwu Ship will linger in the solar system for a while, and after finding no danger, it will still descend onto Earth.

"So…"

Qi Yao said calmly, "No matter what we do, in ten years we'll see a spaceship approach Earth?"

"Yes!"

Jing Wu nodded.

Qi Yao began to think.

After a moment, she said, "If we could, before the Taiwu's awakening program is activated, is it possible to board that spaceship?"

As the words fell, Jing Wu couldn't help but shiver.

Because Jing Wu knew what Qi Yao intended.

In her mind, Qi Yao was an extremely ruthless woman.

The Earth Base, and the many sleeping Witch Tribe members on the Moon, would all have their throats cut by this woman.

At this moment, this woman surnamed Qi must be entertaining this thought—how terrifying!

But the Witch Tribe members on the Taiwu Ship are not a few dozen or a few hundred, but hundreds of thousands!

"Is it possible to destroy this ship in advance?"

Lin Feng frowned and asked.

Jing Wu shook her head, "Don't even think about it, because with Earth's current technology we can't even damage the hull of the Taiwu Ship."

Once it retaliates, Earth will suffer severe damage.

At this point Qi Yao raised a question: "Since you possess such advanced technology and can alter a planet's environment,

why not find a star and build a massive satellite in a suitable orbit as a new home? Why have to wander the universe?"

Jing Wu forced a bitter smile, "Sister, humans can build great ships on the sea; why not create a floating land on the sea and build a Guo Jia?"

"So that's it!"

Qi Yao nodded, "I understand!"

The younger witch said, "Sister, actually our capabilities haven't reached that level yet. We can only search the universe for a Habitable Planet."

"Those more advanced civilizations, of course, will be like you said, unbound by their own planet's limits."

Lin Feng slowly exhaled a mouthful of smoke, and a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

Seeing Lin Feng frown and ponder, Qi Yao, Jing Wu, and Mei Wu all fell silent.

After a long while, Lin Feng suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "t! I'm not the only Earthling; there are still 7 billion people on Earth! Don't make me bear everything alone!"

"What do you mean..."

Qi Yao asked, looking thoughtful.

Lin Feng calmly said: "We need to inform Guo Jia about this!"

Qi Yao left first.

Lin Feng stayed behind.

"Older sister, this is really good; another cup!"

After seeing Qi Yao off and returning to the room, Lin Feng saw Jing Wu handing the cup to Mei Wu.

Lin Feng almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Lin Feng didn't expect Mei Wu to nod and say, "Wait a moment!"

After saying that, Mei Wu went back inside.

A moment later, Mei Wu came out, placing a cup of milk tea in front of Jing Wu.

"Thank you, older sister!"

Jing Wu happily said: "If I had known you had this, I wouldn't have bothered you."

Lin Feng suddenly realized that his understanding of the Witch Tribe people was still lacking.

As it turns out, Jing Wu knows how to make this tea!

Looking at Mei Wu, she doesn't think it's a big deal.

"Alright, how many days can I go out and play this time?"

After drinking the tea, Jing Wu slammed the cup down on the table and stared at Lin Feng, asking.

Helping Lin Feng decode the message sent from the Taiwu Ship, Jing Wu will naturally receive a reward.

"Go! Three days!"

Lin Feng said calmly.

Jing Wu happily laughed and said a line Lin Feng couldn't understand: "Three days is enough!"

After a gust of wind blew by, Jing Wu's figure disappeared in the room.

Lin Feng shook his head.

Mei Wu went out to look, then came back, rubbing her hands and said: "Dear, I can now grow to ten meters tall!"

"What does that mean?"

Lin Feng said with a look of surprise.

Mei Wu said: "You know I'm not unaware; after waking up, I'm slowly recovering."

Ten meters tall!

Lin Feng felt immense pressure!

This is already a giant; Mei Wu could swallow him whole in one bite.

Of course, this is just a metaphor.

Actually, according to proportion, it's obviously impossible.

"Forget it, excess is as bad as deficiency."

Lin Feng shook his head.

"Congratulations, Aunt Ling! Congratulations, Aunt Ye!"

While Lin Feng and Mei Wu were playing a level-clearing game together, Lin Jingru clenched her fists and congratulated Ling Lin and Ye Yingying.

After several days of consideration, Ling Lin and Ye Yingying finally made a decision.

Because of the temptation of becoming an Enhancer, they could not refuse.

Especially after becoming an Enhancer, what follows is enjoying a leisurely life.

Ling Lin and Ye Yingying glanced at each other. gsxsw. c0

Although their faces were full of smiles, their hearts were uneasy.

Because the upcoming matter is something they can control.

Because they have already accepted the Enhancement and become Enhancers.

So, Lin Jingru has changed her address, calling them Aunt.

"Hello, both Aunts!"

Lin Shiyi also respectfully bowed to the two.

Next, Lin Jingru pulled Lin Shiyi to the outside.

"Lin Shiyi, how reliable is the Enhancement Agent you made?"

Lin Jingru asked worriedly.

Lin Shiyi said: "Of course! After all, it's for the Aunts; how could I be careless?"

"Then that's good!"

Lin Jingru nodded.

At this moment, Lin Shiyi scratched his head and said: "But..."

"Yah! What do you want to say?"

Lin Jingru was startled.

Whatever the matter, she fears words like 'however' or 'but' that bring a turn.

Lin Shiyi said: "What I want to say is, everyone's physique is different, so the abilities they gain after enhancement differ; I don't know what abilities they will have."

If they possessed a rare special ability, that would be great.

There are not a few people with special physiques in the Lin family.

The most obvious is Zhu Li; Wen Keke even gave Zhu Li a nickname, calling her Bai Wuchang.

Because Bai Wuchang's tongue is very long, it's quite frightening.

"I'll go ask them!"

Lin Jingru relaxed, happily said something, and ran back.

Lin Shiyi shook his head.

For the following matters, he is not suited to get involved.

Walking out of the residential complex's main gate, Lin Shiyi slipped his hands into the pockets of his back pants.

A girl who looked like a porcelain doll ran over, smiling and calling out, "Big brother, hello! I'll treat you to candy."

Saying that, she handed Lin Shiyi a milk candy.

Lin Shiyi looked over the cute girl who seemed about five, furrowed his brows, and said, "Your teeth have been gnawed by bugs in two places, and you still want to eat candy?"

The little girl froze, then burst into tears with a "wah."

Lin Shiyi shook his head and walked straight away.
