Chapter 183 Returning Home (End of Text)

"Is there any other solution?"

Shark was stunned, and then he realized that what he had just thought in his mind was accidentally said out loud and Jiang Qian heard it.

For someone who often carries out confidential missions, unconsciously speaking out one's inner thoughts is a taboo in this profession. But Shark didn't care about that at the moment. His mind was full of Jiang Qian's words "There is a way".

Although he was racking his brains but could not come up with a solution, Jiang Qian's sudden words gave him hope.

He looked at Jiang Qian, his eyes full of anticipation, "Is there any other way?"

Jiang Qian hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak out her thoughts.

She had not originally intended to use the upgraded weapons on the train because they were too powerful, but in this situation, even though she felt she had no sense of the overall situation, she knew she couldn't just let the octopus escape into the sea or continue to survive.

This octopus was the first zombie-like animal other than humans she had seen since the apocalypse, but after asking the system, she learned that zombie-like animals were not uncommon before the interstellar people migrated from this planet.

It was just because mutated animals and zombie animals existed at the same time for a long time and were both very aggressive towards other creatures, so the interstellar people at that time did not make a clear distinction between the two.

It was only after seeing this octopus that the system noticed something it had previously overlooked.

Back then, interstellar humans believed that mutant animals and zombies appeared together. Just like some humans develop special abilities while others become infected and become zombies. But if this octopus is the first zombie-like animal humans have encountered in this world, does that mean that zombies aren't that common yet? Perhaps the origin of animal zombies appeared right here...

Although these are all speculations of the system and there is currently no evidence to confirm them, Jiang Qian feels that what the system says is very likely.

Perhaps it was the presence of some special substance on the island where the research institute was located that caused the mutant octopus to become a zombie. Perhaps in interstellar history, the octopus later left the island where it had eaten everything, and that is why there are so many zombie animals...

Of course, this octopus may not be the source of animal zombification, but everyone has an answer in their hearts, that is, no matter what, they cannot let it go since it has shown signs of zombification.

And now, the octopus is still here, perhaps this is the best time to officially deal with it.

Jiang Qian told him about the weapons loaded on the train, and Shark listened with his eyes wide open, amazed at the power of these weapons.

Although he had never seen the power of this weapon, there were so many magical things about the train that Shark didn't think Jiang Qian had any need to deceive him.

But this was clearly not the time to waste time being surprised. After learning from Jiang Qian about the power of this weapon, Shark looked at the octopus about to cross the island's last "fence" and immediately made up his mind.

I had to act swiftly, so there was no time to report. As for the five-kilometer range Jiang Qian mentioned...

"This island is about three kilometers in diameter. If we lure the octopus to the center, we might be able to take out both the research institute and the octopus at once..."

Although Shark was not like Jiang Qian, who could learn about the history of the interstellar space from the system, based on his personal experience, he also knew that the appearance of this octopus might be related to the existence of this research institute.

As soon as he got the USB flash drive, he confirmed the contents inside and made sure that this was the one they were looking for in this mission.

Now that the necessary items had been found, there was clearly no need for this research institute, a breeding ground for germs, to exist. This was also part of the mission that Shark and the other team members had received before they set out.

Shark said this, leaving one of his radio communication devices in the cab.

"Open the car door in five minutes, and we'll lure the octopus back to the center of the lake. Once I give the order, use the weapon immediately. Do you understand?"

Although she had experienced many thrilling moments with the team members during this week, Jiang Qian's heart still began to beat wildly after hearing Shark's words and knowing that she would be personally involved in this operation.

"clear!"

The voice was trembling but clear.

After getting the accurate answer, Shark quickly left the cab, returned to the dining car, and quickly gave orders.

"Get all your weapons ready. Take out whatever plasma you have..."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, the other team members in the dining car acted quickly without asking the reason, and Shark also turned his attention to Jin and his group at this time.

"Jin, contact your organization immediately and inform them that all ships and personnel within a 20-kilometer radius of this island must evacuate within 15 minutes and stay as far away from this area as possible..."

Jin was stunned. Although he didn't know why the emergency evacuation was needed, looking at the serious faces of everyone including Shark, he nodded subconsciously.

"yes!"

After saying this, thinking that the evacuation time was only fifteen minutes, he quickly took out the radio communication equipment from his waist.

For a moment, everyone in the carriage became busy.

Five minutes later, the carriage door opened on time, and a strong cold wind blew in from the door, and everyone squinted unconsciously.

The train flew over the octopus and slowly headed towards the center of the lake. At the door, bag after bag of plasma was thrown down by the team members, and then broken by another team member with a gun at a position almost at the same height as the octopus, and dark red flowers bloomed in the air.

One shot, two shots, three shots... until half of the remaining plasma was thrown down, the octopus showed signs of movement.

The technician holding the telescope saw it and urged, "Quick, quick, another bag, it's coming..."

The gunmen were very accurate, and even with the plasma falling at high speed, they never missed. And just at this moment, the octopus, which had been immune to their temptations, finally began to move in the direction they expected.

Everyone held their breath, silently hoping that the next action would go more smoothly.

In the carriage, apart from the technician giving orders, only Jin was holding the walkie-talkie and speaking a foreign language to the other side.

"Evacuate immediately, within a twenty-kilometer radius of the island... No, evacuate everyone within a fifty-kilometer radius... Why? You ask me why? The Hua people are about to use a large-scale killing weapon, so quickly get everyone out of this place, understand? If you still want to survive, immediately leave the area I just mentioned..."

"I said immediately, right now, don't dawdle!"

"Run as fast as you can, as far as you can, or you will bear the consequences..."

…

"arrive!"

Amid Jin's roar, the technician took off the telescope in front of him and looked at the team leader next to him.

Shark glanced at the watch on his wrist and found that eighteen minutes had passed since the order was given. He tilted his head slightly to the right, and his hoarse voice was transmitted into the cockpit through the radio waves.

"Close the door and fire!"

On the large screen in the cab, Jiang Qian had already entered the command to use the weapon. After hearing this, she closed the car door without hesitation. After the door was closed, she quickly pressed the button that popped up on the top of the joystick.

He crossed his thumbs and pressed down hard. Something invisible vibrated out from around the train body, and then the world was silent.

There was no earth-shattering noise or deafening roar, so much so that after Jiang Qian's finger moved away from the button, she was still a little dazed.

When she turned her gaze to the large screen in the cab, she felt somewhat realistic that the weapon had been used.

The octopus was no longer visible on the screen, and even the island they had landed on was gone. In its place was a deep pit.

The surrounding seawater swirled around the pit, forming a deep vortex. Then, the seawater poured down, filling the pit almost instantly.

The sea surface returned to calm again, and the areas that were covered by the sea water again seemed as if nothing had existed.

Compared to Jiang Qian who was watching the "broadcast" on the big screen, the other people in the car saw the scene of the octopus and the island disappearing more clearly with their naked eyes.

Everyone couldn't help but tremble as they looked at the island that disappeared in almost a second.

Although Shark was mentally prepared, he was still a little frightened when he thought about the scene that had just happened. But after the shock, he relaxed when he saw the results that exceeded his expectations.

After letting out a long sigh, Shark looked at his teammates who were all present around him, touched the things in his chest pocket, smiled, and said the words that had been lingering in his mind countless times.

"go home!"

As cheers rang out in the carriage, Jiang Qian in the cab steered the train, and it sped away into the distance, leaving the golden sun behind them.

…

The mission was successfully completed and everyone felt a little more relaxed on the way home.

Jin and Tony's yacht and the island were completely lost, but the mission took priority and the team members had to go back to report their work. Shark had no choice but to bring them back home first.

Although Jin and his friends were a little disappointed that they couldn't take the train back immediately to reunite with their families in glory, they quickly cheered up when they heard that they could go to the country of Flowers to take a look.

On the way back, Jiang Qian was eager to go home, so she didn't find a temporary place to transfer. She took turns driving with Jiang Weimin all the way.

Day and night alternated, and the stars twinkled in the sky. With her father sharing her burdens, Jiang Qian slept peacefully on the sofa bed in the lounge.

When she woke up again, the train had returned to the southeast coast. In the distance, Jiang Qian saw a patch of furry green.

Spring is here!

【Author’s words】

The main article is finished. After thinking for a long time, I decided to end the main article here.

But although the main text has ended, there will be a follow-up extra chapter.

Originally, I wanted to set all the extra chapters as welfare extra chapters, but because the list did not have enough words, some of the extra chapters were moved to the front. There are three paid extra chapters in total. In order to express my apology for misappropriating the welfare extra chapters, there will be a small red envelope for every 2-point comment on these three extra chapters.

If a baby doesn't like the extra chapters, he or she can choose not to buy them. I seem to think that not ordering the extra chapters will not affect the subscription rate and will not affect everyone's ratings.

The next chapter will be updated at midnight on the 28th, mainly to explain some follow-up issues.

Subsequent extra chapters will also be updated at midnight every day.
