Chapter 104 The Imminent Disappearance of Atlantis
[Host, the mission dimensions are unpredictable, but this urgent mission suggests that something unsolvable has occurred in that mission dimension, which is why we were sent there.]
However, host, rest assured, since the main system has issued this task, it should be achievable for us. Even if we fail, there will be no penalty.
When Xiaobai heard her host's question, she knew that her host was still worried, so she comforted her.
Although the mission dimension cannot be known in advance, its presence ensures that the hosts will not suffer any harm.
Actually, that wasn't what they were worried about, but hearing its words made them feel somewhat at ease, at least they had a better understanding of the situation, so they went about their own business.
A day passed quickly, and the second day finally arrived. Early in the morning, Commander Zhang came over and, seeing the four people already prepared, repeatedly gave them instructions:
"Once you arrive at your destination, remember to write to us as soon as possible. Don't get so caught up in having fun that you forget again!"
Also, this is an emergency mission, and we don't know exactly what it is, so please be careful. If things get really bad, come home as soon as possible; we'll all be waiting for you at home.
Before Gu Xinyan and the other three could even speak, Milair nodded repeatedly in agreement:
"Yes, yes, Sister Gu, you must come back soon! I will wait here patiently for you to return."
Hearing this, and seeing her adorable expression that begged for praise and compliments, Gu Xinyan and the other three found it all quite amusing.
"Okay, then you should behave yourself and not cause any trouble. I'll bring you a gift when you come back."
After Gu Xinyan finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Commander Zhang and his group outside the isolation room and continued:
"Don't worry, we'll send you a message as soon as we arrive. If there are any problems that we can't solve, we won't force you."
Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang was relieved. It was good that the children understood. He glanced at the time and, seeing that it was getting late, waved goodbye.
"Alright, it's getting late. You should go and come back soon, and be careful!"
"Okay, let's set off now." Gu Xinyan said, then looked at Xiaobai, indicating that it was time to go.
Xiao Bai, who had been waiting for a long time, nodded his little head, and the next moment, Xiao Bai's voice echoed throughout the isolation room.
[Locating the emergency mission plane, locating...]
Location successful! Initiating teleportation...
[Ding! Teleportation successful!]
[Host, you have arrived in the emergency mission dimension. This is the Kingdom of Atlantis.]
As Xiaobai's voice faded, the surrounding environment subtly changed, transforming from the familiar quarantine room to the boundless seaside in the blink of an eye.
She felt fine and her head wasn't dizzy. She had to admit that Xiaobai's professional skills were quite good now, unlike the second time. Gu Xinyan had just finished thinking to herself when she realized that the plane she had come to this time was the Kingdom of Atlantis.
Atlantis? Isn't that the lost kingdom in history? And it seems that historians still can't confirm whether this country ever actually existed.
But now, it seems there's no need to confirm anything, since they're already standing on this country's territory.
The group looked at each other, none of them expecting the emergency mission to take place here.
However, looking out at the boundless sea not far away, the waves gently lapped against the beach, making a 'whoosh' sound, and you could vaguely see baby turtles sunbathing on the beach.
On the other side was a dense forest, which looked like a primeval forest. However, the traces of human footsteps on the ground indicated that this place was also inhabited.
"I must say, this place is quite beautiful. But I remember seeing some information about the Kingdom of Atlantis online before. Apparently, the country was divided into ten regions, each managed by one of Poseidon's ten children."
Later, it seems that the country sank into the sea. It is said that it disappeared suddenly. But now it seems to have been isolated from the world. There is nothing wrong with it.
"I wonder what this emergency mission is all about!" Li Chendong sighed as he looked at the blue sea and sky.
Hearing his words, Gu Xinyan and the other two nodded in agreement. Indeed, the place looked quite beautiful. However, thinking about the purpose of their visit, they all turned to look at Xiaobai.
"Host, what Brother Li said earlier was correct. This country did indeed eventually sink to the bottom of the sea. However, it appears to be like this now because the country's priest has been using the Time Stone to keep rewinding time."
However, the Time Stone's energy is running low; it can only sustain the nation for three more days at most. After those three days, a devastating catastrophe will befall the country.
At that time, the entire island will sink to the bottom of the sea, and our emergency mission is to help them stabilize the island and overcome this current crisis.
Upon hearing these words, Gu Xinyan and the other three were speechless.
No! Does the main system have some misunderstanding about them?
They're just ordinary people, how can we help them, let alone with a natural disaster like this? I originally thought they were here to help fight monsters, just like in StarCraft.
But what was completely unexpected was that they were asked to protect the island, which was quite bizarre.
Perhaps noticing their speechlessness, Xiaobai quickly added:
[Host, don't worry. As long as we find the High Priest and get the Time Stone, Xiaobai can open the interdimensional trade portal. Then Xiaobai can seek help from other systems.]
As long as a high-level system is willing to help, we can easily complete the task. After all, they have very rich resources and will definitely have a way.
"Uh! Then why didn't the main system call them here? Why did it have to bring us here?"
Gu Xinyan complained, somewhat speechless. After all, in the end, you have to ask the higher-level system for help, so why not just give them the task from the beginning?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's expression froze for a moment.
Although...but...it can be said that this task was something that higher-level systems were unwilling to accept, which is why it was assigned to them.
The powerful figures in the system generally won't easily accept tasks unless they are highly difficult and offer generous rewards.
After all, they are all max-level powerhouses, and the rewards of this mission are not attractive to them. Only small systems struggling on the front lines would be envious of these rewards.
Waaaaah... It's such a pitiful little thing!
