Chapter 978: Joining the Great Wave
Outside the central city of Jibei Road, an extremely narrow crack suddenly appeared on a reef somewhere. Zhao Zhenye walked out of it, and almost at the moment he came out, the crack closed again.
The female voice reappeared, a hint of fatigue in it now: "Zhuan Liang has been staying in Central City. If you come out this time, he will definitely come looking for you. If possible, take this opportunity to get rid of him."
Zhao Zhenye stared ahead and said in a deep voice, "It's not the right time yet. You should know how the Pure Faction and Dashun will react if even one fighter is lost. This will seriously interfere with our plans."
The female voice suddenly stopped.
Zhao Zhenye looked straight ahead, took a light step, and turned into a stream of silver-white light, shooting towards the far end of the ocean.
In the industrial zone south of the central city, Mr. Zhuan was flipping through the magazines and newspapers he subscribed to every day. Suddenly, he felt the pocket watch on his chest get hot.
He immediately reached out and took it out. There was only a red pointer in the pocket watch, which was pointing in a certain direction and shaking violently.
His eyes immediately became sharp.
This pocket watch itself has no function, but it is filled with some kind of lost object powder. As long as he follows the instructions of the pointer, he can find a specific target.
Of course, not everyone can find it. There are strict prerequisites and usage requirements, and the filler inside is consumed very quickly. The process will be accelerated in the fusion area. Once it is consumed, it will no longer be possible to find the target by the same method.
He had previously used this to intercept Zhao Zhenye, but now there was only a tiny amount of filling left in his pocket watch, making it difficult for him to make another trip to the fusion zone. However, both he and the Pure Clan believed that Zhao Zhenye's long stay in Jibei Road must be due to some conspiracy. This person would not hide in the fusion zone without leaving, so he had been waiting here for him to appear.
Now the wait has finally come.
He immediately picked up the mask at hand and put it on.
Mr. Mask became more active. He said, "Zhao Zhenye came out at this time. Hmm, the direction of the needle is still heading to the sea. I think he is trying to disrupt the Skyline Project?"
Mr. Zhuan said, "This is the only way."
Mr. Mask said, "Counselor Chen will also go, right? If we let him..."
Mr. Zhuan decisively interrupted him and said, "This is my business."
"No, the Skyline Project is very important. It affects the development of all Central Cities, and..."
Mr. Mask's voice became particularly serious.
"Personal thoughts and personal grudges are nothing compared to this plan. If you're not 100% sure of success, Lao Zhuan, you must notify Central City and Officer Chen!"
Mr. Zhuan was silent for a moment before he said, "I've never concealed anything about my trip. They'll know."
Mr. Mask relaxed a bit and said, "Well, I don't know what secret teachings Zhao Zhenye is practicing. I just hope that the things we brought will be useful."
Mr. Zhuan put on his clothes quickly, picked up the phone on the desk, and instructed the telegraph operator to send a telegram with different wording to the headquarters, the Jibei Provincial Government Office, and the Fighter Council. Then he immediately picked up the prepared briefcase, pushed the door open, looked at the hands of his pocket watch, and quickly disappeared into the night.
On the open sea, in order to avoid causing too much noise, Chen Chuan deliberately slowed down his speed after running for a while.
But even so, just over an hour later, he saw the unnamed island marked on the map.
This island is actually not small, at least 10 to 20 square kilometers. Looking at it in the dark night, it looks like a giant monster crawling on the sea.
Because it's off the main shipping lanes and appears to have been contaminated by biological contamination in the past, with a type of devil algae growing around it that entangles passing ships and creatures, the accident rate here is very high. Furthermore, the Federation conducted some biochemical experiments here, causing the surrounding water to be red, giving it an eerie appearance. As a result, few people approach this area, making it practically a restricted area.
This was the landing point chosen by the other party. If the fighters set out from here, they could reach the central city of Haidong Road in half a day. However, for the fighters, the subsequent field transfer stations were all attackable and destructible points, so he had to intercept all three of them here.
In order to avoid any additional situations, he had informed Feng Heshou in advance and asked him to be prepared at all times. If there was any accident or any situation that was inconsistent with the intelligence, he would let Chao Ming take a handwritten note to the nearest communication station for transmission.
He glanced around and saw a small island reef less than ten meters high nearby, so he came over and stood on it. Looking up, he could see the whole island from this angle.
At this time, Chao Ming was circling above him, helping him to observe farther away. However, due to its high enough altitude, its figure was not noticeable at all in the dark night.
Chen Chuan calculated the time. According to the intelligence, the other party would arrive here before midnight tonight, which was about two hours away.
I hope the other party can be punctual. If they don’t show up by then, I can only take the initiative and try to find them one by one.
He waited quietly here. When it was almost eleven-thirty, a little light appeared in the dark sky, followed by the sound of propellers. An airship was heading here.
After reaching the sky above the island, the airship slowed down, turned on its lights, and shone them on the reflective objects originally placed there. After confirming that this was the destination, it hovered in the air. Then a man in white combat clothes jumped down from it, like a white line across the night sky, and finally landed lightly on the island.
The man who landed had a broad face, high cheekbones, a stern expression, and a strange handprint symbol on his combat suit.
The first person to arrive was Ian, the person in charge of the New Light Church branch on the Volo Peninsula.
He himself is from the Volo Peninsula, but the peninsula is very close to Dashun, and the regime on the island is almost a vassal of Dashun, so the Xinguang Sect has been suppressed for a long time. All the members of the branch sect have now gone underground, and he himself is only left with the title and fled back to the Federation to hide.
After seeing them from afar, Chen Chuan had already guessed who the visitor was. This time, the secret department provided detailed information about these three people.
It is said that this person is the master of the Shintani-ryu.
The New Chanryu school may seem to be a school that was founded less than a hundred years ago, but it is actually a branch of Zen Buddhism with a long heritage. Although the title of master was given by the Volo Peninsula, it is not something that can be obtained casually. It requires recognition for bringing forth new ideas in fighting techniques and having unprecedented insights.
I just don't know what the real combat effectiveness is.
He stood there without moving. Since one person had already come, it meant that the information was correct, so he just waited for the other two to appear.
Less than twenty minutes later, another airship appeared in the night sky. Judging from their directions, the two airships had different starting points and different airship models, probably to facilitate their independent actions.
When the airship arrived on the island, the person who came down from it this time was Fengjian Yinghu, the owner of Fenglin Pavilion.
He carried a long sword of quite exaggerated length, and the scabbard and handle were wrapped with layers of special cloth strips. He kept his hair and face clean, and even in the night breeze, his hair was not out of place.
The two people who arrived on the island one after another nodded in greeting when they saw each other.
Both of them had heard of each other's reputation, but they did not communicate much. They knew very well that after this action, no matter success or failure, they would not have any major moves overseas in the future, and they might not have much contact in the future.
Another ten minutes later, it was almost twelve o'clock, but the last person still hadn't shown up.
At this moment, both of them seemed to suddenly realize something, and a look of vigilance flashed in their eyes. They turned around and saw a man in federal uniform appearing at one end of the island at some point in time, holding a lantern in his hand and walking towards them.
The two men looked serious. Since they hadn't seen the airship just now, if this person hadn't just arrived, then he must have been nearby beforehand. But either way, none of them had noticed any trace of him. The strength of the newcomer shouldn't be underestimated.
Chen Chuan also discovered this person at this time. He could be sure that this person emerged from under the water, and there was no sign of other ships or airships around.
A fighter wouldn't expend too much energy or travel long distances before taking action unless they had a special skill to rely on. Therefore, this person likely lurked underwater beforehand, only emerging when the time was right. This suggests that this person possesses the ability to fight underwater.
He recalled the personal information, "Takoda, the first people, was born in the Dakora tribe of Arcana continent."
When the previous chief was in office, he invited federal personnel to teach the children of the tribe to read and write. This chief was the best at learning, but this one seemed to have learned too well. According to intelligence, he had completely agreed with the ideas of the Linax Federation.
A fighter actually has many options. This one should understand that as long as he exists and maintains a certain level of deterrence, just like the previous chief did, he can at least maintain the status quo. A complete reversal is not a good option. This may be a desire for fundamental change, or perhaps the oath he swore is restricting him.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
These people are now standing against him, so they are his enemies.
He grasped the Xuejun Sword, walked down the reef, stepped onto the sea, and walked towards the island.
When he was standing there, no one could find his trace, but now that he moved, the three people on the island immediately noticed something was wrong and turned to look at him.
