It's still impossible to say it outright.
"Are you sure you can succeed by not getting close to that giant thing?"
"We are 80% confident."
I asked the castle again, "Even if it's hypnotized, what do we have to deal with it without damaging the Landis ruins?"
"We have contacted the military, and they will send the largest harpoon gun, as well as precision-explosive torpedoes."
I glanced at Peng Jun; he was also worried about the same things I was worried about.
"So, how many days do you need?"
"Mr. Zheng means..."
“I will have someone take the documents to Gam Island. I will go there to handle things and I will be back before your weapons arrive.”
"Oh well!"
Screw you! I'm keeping you guys on your nerves, I'd rather steal the stuff myself first.
That very evening, I contacted the programming veteran and asked him to prepare a small submarine for scientific research.
I don't need it to be too advanced, as long as it can travel through water.
The programming veteran told me that it was available at the college, but I had to go and get it.
Of course, that's no problem.
The next day I took a boat to Gaim Island, then secretly boarded a small submarine and returned, arriving near the Landis ruins ahead of the castle and the others.
I went inside with ease, and according to the space of the mini-submarine, besides the crystal tubes and crystal boxes, I took some more jewelry.
Then I returned to Gaim Island, left my things with Xiao Qingwan, and told her to wait for me to come back so we could go back to Daxia together.
It was two days later when I returned to the castle.
I thought the package had been delivered, but when I saw the castle and the others, I knew something was wrong.
I first went to Peng Jun to find out what was going on.
"You're back just in time; things are complicated now."
"What's wrong?"
"Mei Jun has also set his sights on the Landis ruins and has asked to join us in our operations."
"What? How did we get targeted by the military?"
"Who knows what the castle told them."
What do you mean by "acting together"? Aren't you just trying to swallow the treasure?
Whether it's said that there's treasure inside or a method for making antimatter, it's enough to make Mei Jun covet it.
"These people from the Mei Kingdom are unreliable. The Castle used the Shield Organization to put pressure on them, but the Mei Kingdom Alliance insisted on working together under the guise of research."
The situation is at a standstill, and I don't know what to do! By the way, did you get the item?
"Yes! I've left everything on Gaim Island."
Peng Jun was relieved: "No matter how they negotiate, as long as the goods are in our hands, that's fine."
We can't leave until they finish talking.
I decided not to stay cooped up in the hotel anymore, so I took Mengjie and Shitongguang and went shopping.
Since it's a local specialty I like, I'll buy three portions.
To my surprise, after my financial offensive, even Shi Tongguang became enthusiastic towards me.
We were walking down the street carrying large bags and small rolls when Mengjie leaned closer and whispered, "Junior Brother Zheng! Someone is following us."
I didn't even need to turn around; I just had the viper turn once, and I "saw" the people behind me.
Both men had deep-set eyes and big noses, making it impossible to tell which country they were from.
"It's alright! Let's just shop around. If they dare to make a move, we won't hold back."
Upon hearing this, Shi Tongguang immediately said, "If it comes to a fight, Uncle Zheng doesn't need to do anything; just leave it to me."
I smiled and glanced behind me through the viper.
They didn't seem like they were going to attack; they were just following us.
Is it because we can't take action on the street right now?
"Then let's give them a chance."
As I spoke, I led Mengjie and Shitongguang into a small alley.
The two people didn't come up; instead, the psychic girl followed.
"Mr. Zheng!"
This time, she didn't wear a veil, but instead wore a hat and sunglasses.
"Did you need something from me, senior?"
The psychic girl looked at Meng Jie and Shi Tongguang.
I let them leave the alley and stay there with the psychic woman's people.
"I'll just say it directly: the Mei Army is now blockading that sea area and wants to take everything there for themselves."
I'm here to discuss with you whether we should send troops over as well. Why can they just block access to the high seas like that?
Is that true?
"You mean, bring the Great Xia fleet over as well?"
“That’s right! I’ve heard that the Landis ruins have treasure, and quite a lot of it.”
"oh?"
The psychic was more shrewd than she appeared. She had been keeping an eye on the castle and finally overheard his conversation with his subordinates.
The castle wants to use us against what's in the water.
When the treasure is found, he'll be the one who got the submarine, and he'll decide how much of it we get.
Anyone who dares to object, he can leave them here.
The psychic girl has no idea that the castle is trying to harm me.
"Now, somehow the Mei army has found out about his affairs, and we need to get rid of him. I'm thinking that our two countries should also send troops."
"So, Mei Jun is confident he can take down that octopus?"
"Just go for it? They don't care what's worth studying about the Landis ruins."
From this perspective, Castle is slightly better than Mei Jun, but only by a limited margin.
"I need to discuss this with my master."
"But General Manager Peng asked me to come and see you."
I understand. Peng Jun wants me to use my position as chief engineer to handle this matter.
How many people from the United States are coming?
"Two warships, plus the submarine from last time."
This is a military confrontation; it could easily escalate into an accidental clash.
China is not as assertive as Russia at the moment.
If I were to use a warship for this purpose without authorization, it could implicate others.
