Chapter 337 107: Return
Since the fall of Iki Island, there have been several satellites in Japanese orbit dedicated to monitoring the situation of Iki Island.
The image information is updated every minute. AI determines whether there is any change in the image information and then alerts the logistics staff of the Special Affairs Bureau responsible for the matter.
However, because this operation involves a team of extraordinary people, the satellite images returned have been changed to be viewed by multiple people to ensure that no important information will be missed.
And because the team has been missing for more than half a day under surveillance, every next picture is so important.
"Based on the information compiled so far, the team retreated into the forest after the battle in the ruins, and then never came out again, until now."
"But after comparison, we found that when night fell, A farmhouse near the center of the island seems to have some traces of man-made changes. Maybe they entered during the interval between taking pictures."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yushi Noguchi glanced at the bright sky and nodded. , let him go down to rest first.
After his subordinates left, Noguchi picked up a satellite photo again.
The forest on Iki Island is not very dense, and is basically divided into areas by reclaimed farmland.
And those farmlands, which had not been taken care of for a long time, are now either covered with weeds, or even the weeds have died long ago and are filled with gray moon desert.
If there were more impact craters on it, it would be eighty similar to the surface of the moon.
But this is not the moon, and weathering will blow the moon desert everywhere.
So in this case, even if the team is moving in the forest, there is a high probability that the traces of their progress will be captured by the satellite that takes one photo per minute.
The direction where they disappeared was in the southern forest, but the suspicious farmhouse mentioned by the subordinate just now was in the middle, with many open areas separated in the middle. There was no reason for it to appear there out of thin air.
Even Toyokawa cannot bring so many people.
Toyokawa can't just run back and forth to bring his teammates there. It would be too much of a waste of effort and would also involve a lot of risks.
“Suddenly appeared.”
Noguchi suddenly thought of something, turned on his computer, and searched for what happened during the last Iki Island war.
Soon, he found the oral transcript about Guan Junyan.
After looking at them one by one, he determined that the entire disappearance of Guan Junyan's team also happened. At that time, the communication on Iki Island could still be maintained intermittently, and drones could also be launched in the sky for reconnaissance. Therefore, when Guan Junyan's team disappeared, Finally, a large number of drones were dispatched for reconnaissance.
It’s a pity that I found nothing.
It was not until a week later that Toshihiko Seki and Sayuri Iizumi appeared in the completely opposite direction from where they disappeared.
According to the transcripts and reports, Guan Junyan claimed to be chased by the Yuehui. In a panic, he sneaked into the depths of the forest, then acted cautiously to avoid being chased, and then came to another place in confusion. A coast.
At the time, considering that Guan Junyan suffered a major blow, there was no investigation into this matter. Moreover, Guan Junyan was recruited by Noguchi. He was still half a student at that time, and he knew his character well. , it is just regarded as the investigation was not in place, and the war situation was indeed chaotic at that time, Guan Junyan's reason is not unexplainable.
But considering the current situation, it may be that the disappearance of Guan Junyan's team was not that simple.
Noguchi was deep in thought, his mind still clear even after not sleeping all night.
A phone ring interrupted his continued thinking.
"Director, the whereabouts of Team Toyokawa have been discovered!"
The excited voice of the subordinate who just left came from the internal phone.
Noguchi cheered up, said a few words, hung up the phone, and walked towards the dedicated office where the first team reconnaissance of Iki Island was held.
"Director, judging from the map, the Toyokawa team has not suffered any losses. They are currently heading towards the scheduled evacuation point on the west coast. We have notified the fleet and dispatched ships to respond."
The subordinate took out a few satellite images and briefly reported the information.
"It seems that important information was discovered after yesterday's battle with the polluters. Otherwise, given Toyokawa's character, he would not have chosen to evacuate so quickly." Noguchi even suspected that this information may be related to what they have been searching for. related to the mother's nest.
He didn't say it out loud so as not to give everyone inaccurate expectations.
Based on the distance of the fleet, they should be able to receive a brief report from them on the ship in no more than half an hour at the latest.
Soon, no accident occurred, and the fleet that was already cruising nearby immediately dispatched a response ship.
The ship stopped about a few kilometers away from Iki Island. It was within visual distance. Toyokawa and the others obviously saw it and took off directly towards the ship.
After a while, they successfully boarded the ship.
“Why do we seem to have forgotten important things?”
The further away from the island, the fainter the memory of everything that happened in Baiwu becomes.
The eyes of several people were blank.
Inagaki Miki, who had been holding the notebook in her hand, subconsciously opened her notebook and spoke out the things recorded in it with a slightly hesitant tone.
“Have we really experienced such a thing? In my memory, we were being chased by the Moon-dirty Ones, and then we hid in the farmhouse at night, and then we evacuated this morning. It was wrong to evacuate. The reason for the evacuation is not in my memory. "Fengchuan was frightened for a while, but fortunately there was something wrong with this filled memory, otherwise it would have been too perfect. If it hadn't been recorded, there would have been no way to prevent it.
Guan Junyan glanced at his palm, frowned slightly, then put his hand down as if nothing had happened, and suggested: "I suggest that we collect all our records and give them to Fengchuan, and he will compile a copy Please report in detail.”
No one had any objection, but Fengchuan glanced at Guan Junyan with a hint of resentment, and the latter looked away, pretending not to notice.
"There is a lot of food here, let's eat something first."
"I'm going to the room to take a rest." Guan Junyan looked at General Ju, but fortunately this had nothing to do with Bai Wu. , General Tachibana still remembered and followed him into the room.
"Strange, why is this cat so clingy to Junyan Guan?" The hound was a little curious, but the soul crow had already flown to the kitchen to grab the fries. For the sake of his own face, he had to watch a little.
Inagaki Miki looked at the direction Guan Junyan left and said nothing.
Toyokawa also had a grimace and went to the restaurant to sort out his report.
It wasn't until the ship was about to dock that Fengchuan and the others discovered that Guan Junyan's room had been empty for some time.
At this time, General Tachibana cooperatively took out a piece of paper and wrote that Seki Toshihiko could not let go of Kasahara Chiba and decided to save her, and he was sure that he asked them to leave him alone. Afterwards, he I will come back to apologize to the director.
Toyokawa stared and almost cursed.
“He has probably had this idea for a long time. If we don’t go well this time, he probably won’t leave. However, the effect of our exploration this time exceeded expectations, and we also found the suspected location of the mother nest. Of course he won’t let go of the mirror space.”
"What's more, Sayuri Iizumi, who was worried about him back then, is now on the island. For Guan Junyan, this island is his final BOSS map, and his destiny will clear the clouds here."
After venting. , Toyokawa explained to Noguchi, who had already come over, with a dejected face, and his words somewhat meant to excuse Guan Junyan.
But he didn’t dare to say too much. After all, ever since Takashima Yumi, such incidents had been irritating Noguchi’s nerves. But Toyokawa was surprised. After Noguchi heard Toyokawa's words, he didn't get angry or sigh. He just looked in the direction of the other side of the coastline.
After a while, Noguchi took over Toyokawa's temporary summary report and read it quickly.
"The final BOSS is not that simple. He still has a long way to go. Aren't you curious why he seems to have an extra ability from time to time?" Noguchi patted Toyokawa on the shoulder.
“Isn’t it that he has been hiding? Or is it the development of super powers?”
“The development of superpowers is also the development of related abilities. His abilities are not very relevant. In short, he has great potential. , I’m afraid it’s better to be bigger than all of us. His ability is destined to be brought into full play in an environment surrounded by enemies. Before, I thought too well and always thought that he should be allowed to develop slowly. He can become a trump card in our special affairs bureau."
"The greenhouse is destined to be unable to produce a trump card. I hope that he can match the dangers of Iki Island. This can be regarded as a whetstone." Noguchi shook his head and said nothing more. He looked at Toyokawa and said, "But people are slipping away under your nose. There must be no lack of self-examination."
"Ah"
Toyokawa clutched his chest. He originally expected to take a vacation to spend time with Nanako after completing this mission.
Now I don’t know how much time I have to waste on writing reports and reviews.
Guan Junyan, Guan Junyan! You are really hurting me!
By the coast.
Guan Junyan stuck his head out of the sea.
Looking back, he saw no one was chasing him, which somewhat relieved him.
"Before challenging the BOSS, let me level up first."
Guan Junyan looked at the abandoned supply camp on the island.
Dirty iron houses, crumbling tents, and boxes of supplies that were not taken away during the evacuation.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be his base camp for the next period of time.
As a serious gamer, he doesn't have a beautiful fantasy of dominating the battlefield and influencing the situation of the battle.
This fantasy still existed until Sayuri Iizumi "died" on Iki Island.
At that time, he did not seek stability as much as he does now.
The incident with Sayuri hit him hard, and he gradually lost the courage to move forward.
It can be seen from his level that before Iki Island, he was already at level ten, but in the two years after Iki Island, he only rose to three levels.
Looking back now, it was a shameful depravity.
Fortunately, it is not too late to wake up now.
Iki Island is the best experience bank.
Whatever doesn't kill him will only make him stronger.
He knows that Ringo Jingquan is somewhere on the island, so he should think that he is attracting attention for her.
"I'm sorry, Noguchi-senpai, just let me be willful."
Guan Junyan murmured and flew towards the nearest ruins of the city.
“Interesting, your sister’s master has returned alone. It seems that he wants to rescue the fourth chosen one who was captured by the Mother Goddess.”
< br>Augustus opened his eyes. He was obviously far away from Guan Junyan, but he seemed to have seen what happened with his own eyes.
Jingquan Ringo did not speak immediately, but quietly stared at the red liquid boiling in a beaker on the table.
"What he wants to do is his business." After a while, she recovered from her daze.
"Your sister has a lot of affection for him, and if we join forces with you, even now, as long as we plan well, there might be a chance." Augustus said truthfully.
Jingquan Ringo’s face was expressionless: “My sister’s soul can only be saved by me, and he is not worthy.”
Augustus respects the opinions of his partners.
Besides, it is indeed just a slight chance.
As long as Luna reacts, the opportunity will be fleeting and there is no need to take risks.
Let the two sisters have a real fight, and the moon god will not pay any attention to it.
Even the chosen ones need to be tempered to grow.
At least that’s what Augustus guessed.
And his guesses have always been accurate.
"Does my blood really have the effect you said?" Jingquan Ringo glanced at the wound on his hand and asked suddenly.
"The blood, soul, and body of every extraordinary creature are all unique materials." Augustus walked to the beaker, shook the boiling blood, and poured another portion into it. blood.
“For the Divine Grace Warlocks in the Heaven node, this is a forbidden technique. But for me, as long as it is useful, it can be studied. The techniques are all born in heaven, so what’s the point? What is good and evil? It’s a pity that they have never been able to understand such a simple truth.”
Augustus’ tone was rather regretful.
"No wonder you will become the enemy of Heaven Node." Jingquan Ringo definitely felt the collision of two completely conflicting ideas.
In fact, she supports the concept of heaven nodes. The reason why heaven does not distinguish between good and evil is that it is in heaven, and humans steal this great power and use it in the mortal world. Naturally, they need to make divisions to avoid getting lost in the power.
But it would be another matter if that power could achieve the purpose she wanted.
“Originally, your blood alone is not enough, but there are also the blood of the two chosen gods. I have also brought them. Together, it is barely enough. Anyway, now Izumi Sayuri is no more. I have gathered three people. If it were four, I would not dare to give it a guaranteed vote. "
What Augustus configured is a core potion of the formation that can temporarily cut off the connection between the Moon God and Iki Island. It can only be used during the day. Once it is deployed, within the formation, the new moon will appear. The brilliance will be guided and concentrated, and together with the light of the sun, it will suppress the old moon.
The time is about half an hour to an hour.
It’s just that Augustus is not sure whether the creatures originally in the mother nest space will be squeezed out after using it, but he can be sure that no one on the island will be able to mobilize that space.
So to be on the safe side, it is necessary to confirm that Sayuri Iizumi is in the real space before he activates the formation. This will ensure that the battle location will not be in the mother nest space where the opponent has the upper hand.
However, after such a battle, you must leave Iki Island immediately before the formation fails, otherwise
Augustus glanced at the bead containing the soul. Now, there are already There are a few cracks.
