“Brother, have you come to save me? Qin is so happy…” The voice was soft and warm as if directly permeating from the air .
Yuria was silent and unable to speak .
Smack .
A big hand landed hard on the back of his shoulder .
“What's wrong? Standing here daydreaming all alone?”
The Commodore of the s.h.i.+p was also one of those who had been infected . One could say that everyone here came with an intention to die . They were deployed as they were discovered to be infected with Yuri's Kiss .
If this mission could not be completed, then they would also be dead anyway . So there was no need to worry about boosting the troops' morale because everyone understood that if they did not fight, they would die .
The Commodore was a northerner, tall and strong, cheerful and bold, and clicked with Yuria, who was on-board .
“No . Nothing,” Yuria smiled . His emotions were somewhat down . When he thought of everything in the past about Yurijie, or Zhi Jinqin, there was always a kind of unspeakable blockage in his heart .
“Don't worry! This time, there's a large number of powerhouses . No matter how powerful she is, all the three nations' elites are all here . There will be no mistakes!” The Commodore was very confident .
“Maybe…” Yuria barely managed a smile .
“Black Federation's strongest King Thunderclap has also come . With Red Nation's Prince Huang Gu, our Vulture No . 1, and adding on each of their respective elite guardian powerhouses, dealing with White Crab is definitely a piece of cake . If it wasn't for the rush for time, a few long-range missiles blowing up the place would directly settle the matter,” the Commodore said dismissively .
Yuria responded with a smile at the side, but his mind was still recalling the sister's voice he had heard just now .
“Look! Someone went on the island!” Suddenly, the Commodore pointed to the distant sea .
Yuria followed his gaze and just happened to see a small group of people wearing stealth suits sneaking onto White Crab Island . This kind of stealth suit did not really cloak the body, but it was an optical camouflage suit that could automatically change color . The l.u.s.ter of the color would continuously change accordingly with the environment, causing the human body to integrate into the environment as one .
The small team of people could hardly be seen moving from afar .
“That is the Special Operations Team from Black Federation . They should be going to test the water first . The radio notice has been sent over ten minutes ago, but there is no reply at all . Could it be that these White Crab Army have fled?” A few people came from behind the Commodore and sneered loudly . “d.a.m.n, making us come all the way to specifically fix the position . Is this rubbish virus really so terrific?!”
“What do you think?”
“Yuria, is this stuff really produced by your sister?” Some people did not believe it .
Yuria could only smile bitterly with silence and apologies .
Not only their s.h.i.+p, but many other fleets were also watching and waiting for the small team of elite powerhouses who entered the island to send back news .
There was still communication at the beginning . However, after that, it had been silent . Suddenly there were a few screams on the radio, and then everything was calm .
“Still resisting stubbornly!”
On another black s.h.i.+p, a tall and thick-haired man in a military uniform took on an unsightly expression . As the highest commander of Black Federation's current operation, he had actually lost more than a dozen of the powerhouses whom he sent out, and no accurate intelligence was transmitted back at all .
“Prepare the fleet . Indiscriminate bombing for ten minutes!” He waved his hand, and the adjutant behind quickly began to convey the command .
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The continuous booming of the bombardment instantly thundered rhythmically . The sh.e.l.ls landed on the tornado-shaped silvery-white mountain and blasted innumerable holes of different sizes on its surface . Smoke and dust suffused, and gravel scattered . There were tall splashes of sand waves everywhere on White Crab Island, and the sea surface shook slightly . More than a dozen wars.h.i.+ps from Black Federation launched the attack simultaneously, coupled with aircraft bombing, in which countless incendiary bombs were dropped . White Crab Island was completely caught in a sea of flames .
“King Thunderclap, what are you doing!? We need the data inside . Who asked you to directly order indiscriminate bombing and use the incendiary bomb?” Dissatisfied voices came from the other three forces through wireless communication .
However, Black Federation could not be bothered and was still bombing away .
“Don't mind them! Continue!” King Thunderclap was arrogant and never listened to other people's opinions . He felt that since his strength and capability were far more powerful than the others, even if the strategy was wrong, he could still correct it with his own strength .
“This sc.u.mbag of Black Federation!!” On a Red Nation fleet, a handsome man in a red coat flashed a stern look .
“Failing to see the larger issue and disregarding the overall situation . I will surely storm the Federation Capital one day . ” The man held a scarlet wide-blade sword in one hand . There were some delicate and complicated patterns engraved on the hilt which looked quite extraordinary .
“Your Royal Highness will surely reinvigorate the situation in the country and re-establish the true centralization of monarch power . ” A person behind him in a black robe was acutely flattering .
“Pa.s.s down the command . Prepare to charge onto the island . Time is running out . ” Prince swept a glance across Black Federation's fleet coldly . “If such a virus data can be obtained, and the virus was released in Black Federation, I'm sure Father will be very pleased to see that spectacular scene . ”
“What if the people of Black Federation are still sh.e.l.ling non-stop?”
“Then just kill them first . ”
The black-robed man instantly chuckled menacingly .
The three forces were each the primary force, and the Black Federation's fleet had to stop the bombardment . Vulture No . 1 led a few Vulture powerhouses and entered the island from the right side on foot .
Two people from Red Nation's Prince's side went onto the island by themselves from the left .
On Black Federation's side, King Thunderclap personally brought along two big fellows who were wearing silver-like armor and looked like robots and approached the island from the front with heavy treads .
After the three forces took the lead to enter the island, they were quickly followed by several small reconnaissance units in order to quickly grasp the situation on the island .
Yuria mingled in the second wave of the teams entering the island and quickly moved in from the periphery to the inside .
He believed that his strength was good, but it was not the top of the list, so he let the strongest powerhouses of the three forces test the waters first .
Moreover, he could not believe that Zhi Jinqin was the mastermind of the entire deception . There was still a trace of luck in the depths of his heart .
On the surface of the sea, the sun had just radiated a trace of golden color, s.h.i.+ning a vast golden light over the horizon .
A clear white line flew straight into the distance . It was an extremely fast-moving s.h.i.+p, which seemed to be a military s.h.i.+p . There was half a logo on the side that was not completely covered with paint as if it was hurriedly launched before the cover-up procedure had finished .
Garen stood at the bow and looked at the boundless sea .
“How long more until we reach?” He frowned and asked . It was night time when they departed and it was already dawning here .
“An hour more and we should be able to catch up . Don't worry . ” Nine-Tailed Fox was operating the boat . She and Kong Xinxue accompanied Garen to hurry over . Previously, she had coordinated with Yuria to leave one of the fastest s.h.i.+p models for Garen to ensure that he could get on board right away as soon as he flew over so that there would not be any delay at all .
Although Nine-Tailed Fox was operating the s.h.i.+p, her face was very pale, almost colorless . There were still traces of blood in the corners of her eyes . It had just flowed out and was not completely wiped clean .
Blood flowing out of the corners of both eyes was the most prominent feature of those infected by the virus, Yuri's Kiss .
The room where they were operating the s.h.i.+p was quarantined, and Garen could not enter without violent destruction . This was to prevent Garen from being infected . Although it was only a delay, it was impossible to completely isolate this kind of airborne virus no matter what measures one took . Even the little time that could be dragged counted .
There were also some infected crew members on board, all of whom joined with a resolute determination .
Garen lifted the new mechanical technology sword which was full of fine mechanical gears on its body . It looked like a layer of metal wrapping around the complex parts on the inside . It was very delicate but it gave people an a.s.sumption of not being very practical like it could be broken with just a simple strike .
“Is this knife really hard and tough?” Garen asked casually .
Nine-Tailed Fox had no choice but to explain through the pager .
“This is the technology of a place where I have been to . I a.s.sure you that the technology is definitely far beyond this era . Using ordinary materials and substance to make the hardness and indicators far beyond that of the material itself was the characteristic of that place . Even if you have the power of Sea G.o.d, this sword is enough for you!”
“I hope so,” Garen was uncertain .
White Crab Island
In the central area, there were only empty buildings on the entire island . Some of them were high towers, some were round research rooms, some were hanging the technology incubators signboards, and some were public leisure facilities . If there were not the various kinds of signboards and t.i.tles, this would not look like a biochemical research base at all but more like an unknown style of amus.e.m.e.nt park .
Yuria followed a small team and found no White Crab soldiers obstructing them .
After encountering several traps, these scattered teams of more than a dozen people managed to pa.s.s through without any harm .
“Come in, come in . Unit No . 2 has successfully pa.s.sed the checkpoint, reaching the predetermined location . Please advise on the next step . ” The captain kept speaking into the walkie-talkie .
However, the screen on the walkie-talkie showed that there was no signal . There was clearly some kind of large s.h.i.+elding installation .
“h.e.l.l! I can't hear anything . ” The captain was agitated and hammered the walkie-talkies a few times, but it still did not work, and he could only put it away .
“Lord Yuria, what do you think we should do now?” He looked at Yuria, who had the most right to speak . When they departed this time, the Commodore had pa.s.sed the command power to Yuria alone . In the case of losing the highest level of instruction, everything will be based on his goals .
“Can you find the other reconnaissance units around on the island?” Yuria felt that something was amiss . There were no more than one thousand if not eight hundred people on the island and it was impossible for one not to meet another . After all, the area of this White Crab Island was only wide to a certain extent . Even if there were buildings blocking their line of sight, it could not be that not even a little sound was heard .
“Since we have reached here, there's no point in retreating,” Yuria spoke directly . “Continue moving forward . ”
“Alright . ” The captain was also a decisive person . Since he was now at this place, he had also put his own life and death behind his mind .
The group continued to move between the white buildings . Their surroundings were silent, and there was not any sound from other teams, not even a gunshot . It was very bizarre .
They continued for another few kilometers, marching toward the tornado-mountain, and soon there was a very tall white icicle in front . There seemed to be a person frozen inside the icicle .
The group had already felt that something was amiss . The island should not be this huge! The length and width were only a few thousand kilometers . How could it be that they had not arrived at the tornado-mountain after so long?
