Chapter 958: Heavenly White Jade Capital: Introduction
A certain high seas area.
A sudden disaster turned the originally calm sea into a sea of death and destruction.
On the sea, the once mighty ships are now reduced to broken hulls. They were once the overlords of the sea, but now they have become ghosts in the waves.
These ships do not belong to any country. Most of them are warships that were retired from the navies of some countries and then bought and modified, no matter how powerful and majestic they once were.
Now it is just floating on the sea in pieces, with wisps of smoke rising up called ruin.
The accompanying ships used for deep-sea operations and salvage were in the same miserable state as the escort warships, becoming nothing more than steel corpses.
The most shocking thing is a newly built large salvage platform, which is extremely large and has the Black Snake trademark of Roderick International Trading Company on it.
But now it too is a pile of twisted scrap metal and broken pipes.
On an uninhabited island not far away, the situation was even more tragic.
The island was originally the entrance used by the World United Special Administration to enter Prometheus.
After the Black Light incident, the Prometheus project completely failed.
The island and its facilities were also abandoned.
It was recently purchased by Roderick Company and converted into a rest and entertainment area for employees.
There are not only office buildings but also various entertainment projects.
It can be said that Roderick Company is very thoughtful in considering employee welfare.
But now, whether it is the transformed beach or those casinos that were once bustling.
They all turned into a hell with corpses everywhere.
Countless corpses wearing Roderick Company work clothes were scattered on the island, with fear and confusion on their faces. It was obvious that they did not survive after escaping from the ships and platforms.
The woman wore a veil and a southern-style gauze dress and veil.
Her shoulder-length white hair was blown by the waves, and the sea breeze carried the smell of salty sea water, mixed with the smell of blood and rusty metal.
Seagulls circled in the sky, their cries sounding particularly mournful in the dead silence of the sea.
The beach beneath her feet was stained red with blood, and countless broken limbs were scattered around.
The woman couldn't help but sigh as she looked at this hell on earth.
"Director Shuo."
Several heavily armed mercenaries came up behind the woman.
"There are no survivors on the island. Search and rescue efforts are still ongoing on the sea and on the salvage platform. All ten elite fox hunting teams we sent out have been killed."
Although the bald strong man was wearing sunglasses, one could still hear the anger in his tone.
"I see."
The woman nodded.
She turned around and gave orders to several people.
"The priority is to identify the salvage ship's work log and the island command center's signal reception log. These two points must be clarified."
"First, what happened to Roderick's fleet and work platform, and who attacked them? Second, who has the things Miss Mayer wants now? This is likely a problem."
The strong man nodded and left the beach.
Wait until she's sure no one is watching her.
The woman walked to a large reef and took out another communicator.
"It's me. I have some information I think you might be interested in. Mael Roderick's salvage fleet was completely destroyed. Judging from the traces at the scene, they might have salvaged the item from the ruins of Prometheus. But unfortunately, she was robbed."
[With the law on her side, does anyone dare to criticize her?]
The woman on the other end of the phone had a cold voice.
"Rodrick has many rivals, but I estimate that only one faction has the power to annihilate such a large fleet and work group overnight."
[Don't beat around the bush. I know you want to say it's us, Shuozhi. I can give you an answer right now. The entire Chinese Special Management Bureau has never carried out any such actions.]
Shuozhi smiled faintly, unlike her sister.
She had no interest in power and strength, so she did not participate in Zhong Huaian's rebellion.
At least in her opinion, Zhong Huaian and that group of northern monsters would never be able to bring long-term peace and stability to China.
She leaned against the big rock and said with a smile.
"Sister, you have to understand that the only ones who can do this without being noticed are the Huaxia Special Management Bureau. Asgard and Area 91 can't do it. Can you really guarantee that the Huaxia Special Management Bureau didn't do something hidden from you?"
[I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Do your job well and generate a report on the situation on site and send it to me.]
The call was hung up.
Shuo Zhi smiled and put away the communicator. Then she glanced and raised her hand to catch a dagger flying towards her with two fingers.
"I knew you, woman...had bad intentions after joining us."
The bald strong man came back with four or five mercenaries.
"Tell the truth! What happened here! Was it you and the people behind you who did it!?"
Several gun barrels were pointed at Shuo Zhi.
"I want to know more than you do." Shuo Zhi sighed.
Then she gently raised her hand, lifted the veil, and revealed her beautiful face.
"But since I've been exposed, I might as well do some physical work after a long absence. Fortunately, there are enough corpses here to accommodate you."
“You woman!!”
The bald strong man was already angry about the death of his companion.
Now that he knew Shuo Zhi was an undercover agent, he raised his gun and shot without hesitation.
But several flaming feathers pierced their chests in an instant.
The tips of the flame feathers emitted a blazing light, and they immediately caused a small explosion when they touched the mercenaries' bodies.
An intense burning breath began to spread from their chests, instantly igniting their clothes and skin.
"I thought about it, it's less likely to leave clues if it's burned completely than if it's body parts, right?" Shuo Zhi chuckled and snapped her fingers.
With the sound of her snapping fingers.
The five people were instantly engulfed in flames. They didn't even have the chance to scream before they were burned to ashes by this unusual flame.
Flames raged in the air, devouring everything combustible.
Shuo Zhi stepped on the charcoal that was no longer in human form and stood in the center of the flames. Her figure looked particularly strange in the firelight.
There was no trace of pity in her eyes, only anticipation for what was about to happen.
But just as the flames burned everything and gradually died out.
However, Shuo Bai saw a silver-white iron plate from the ashes of the bald strong man.
That seemed to be what he had found after searching the island.
"Although fox hunters do have a bad habit of collecting battlefield loot and keeping it for themselves, you've hidden the key to solving the mystery. That's unacceptable."
Shuo Zhi picked up the silver-white iron plate, blew away the ashes on it, and saw a large golden word engraved on the iron plate.
thunder.
Shuo Zhi smiled disdainfully.
"The Chief of the Thunder Department, directly under the command of the Divine Sky Jade Purity Palace... Interesting, it seems that some people in heaven have also been tempted by worldly desires."
