Unlike the others who were trembling in fear, Gulmei was clinging to the edge of the fishing boat, braving the constant onslaught of seawater as he tried to see and remember the monster.

Like a fish but not a fish, like a bird but not a bird.

Judging from Gurmei's knowledge, this monster is very similar to the Kun in Chinese mythology, except that this monster looks more terrifying.

With its rough skin, ferocious face, and twisting tentacles on both sides of its cheeks, it looks like an evil beast that is about to devour the world.

In this dark and swaying sea, even though the monster stayed motionless above the island, it still looked extremely terrifying.

Even if one only caught a glimpse of part of the monster through the scattered moonlight, its huge size was enough to cover the entire field of vision.

The oppressive feeling that was almost reaching its peak made the people on the fishing boats sail in silence, without saying a word to each other.

On the fishermen's boats, men hugged women, adults hugged children. The survivors who escaped from the island huddled together, with fear and endless confusion in their eyes.

No one knows what kind of complex emotions are hidden in their eyes when they look back to home from time to time? On the boat of the WHO volunteers, everyone was also silent. Volunteers are elites, and those who are willing to stay and save the fishermen are the elites among the elites.

But even they could only huddle helplessly on the fishing boat, not knowing what to do.

Human power is limited, and this feeling is not only felt when facing nature. When facing this huge monster floating in the air like a natural disaster, a feeling of powerlessness and fear comes together.

By the time the moonlight that allowed them to see the surrounding scenery clearly was obscured by dark clouds again.

In the endless darkness, only the light from the searchlights between their fishing boats allowed them to see each other clearly.

The already silent crowd became even more silent.

For a moment, the only sounds in everyone's ears were the sound of waves and faint breathing.

After a long while, Nora looked at the monster figure that had been swallowed by darkness at the end of her vision and murmured, "It seems that there are still too many things we don't know about this world."

She had thought that after having seen war, she would no longer be surprised by anything in the world, but now she knew she was wrong.

The leader of the volunteer team at the side was not so emotional. He frowned, put down the communication equipment in his hand, and said to the frightened crowd: "We have tried various communication equipment and they are completely useless. It seems that the monster brought some kind of electromagnetic interference when it appeared. I can't contact the outside world now, nor can I contact the volunteers who left first."

"Luckily, when we were still in shock, Gulme remembered to contact the outside world. The outside world should have known about our situation."

Nora nodded, somewhat thankful for Gourme's calm decision.

She obviously didn't know that Gourme's communicator was specially made, with extraordinary means that allowed him to contact the organization in most cases.

"Gulme, who are you contacting? Is it reliable for us to go to Mui Ne Island? Do they have the ability to handle this kind of thing?"

asked a volunteer who also stayed behind to evacuate the civilians instead of choosing to leave first.

Hearing this, before Gulme, who was looking into the distance from the fishing boat, could answer, the leader of the volunteer team spoke first: "Gulme is very mature, and the people we contact will definitely be able to settle us. As for dealing with this monster here, only the country can do it."

"After we escape, we just need to find a way to contact the country. We don't need to expect other groups to solve this kind of thing."

The captain said, looking towards Gourmet.

Seeing this, Gurme nodded and said, "Don't worry about the resettlement issue. Your life and personal safety will be best guaranteed."

“They…are the best team.”

Gourmet said meaningfully.

He did not deny the captain's statement that only the country could solve such problems.

Normally, only countries are qualified to deal with such a behemoth. And it is likely that only the five rogue-level powers will be more confident.

However, as Gourmet said.

He called upon the best team in the world.

This kind of good means that they are stronger and greater than all other countries.

If even they can't solve this kind of thing, then no one can solve it.

After hearing Gulmei's words, the tense expressions of the people around him improved a little.

No matter how bad the situation is, at least they have a place to stay temporarily.

Just like that, everyone headed quietly towards Mui Ne Island.

The volunteer team, who had not yet had dinner, dug out the dried fish they had brought with them and chewed them dry to satisfy their hunger.

After driving for about twenty minutes, the sound of a boat suddenly coming from not far away startled everyone.

The leader of the volunteer team instinctively wanted to pick up the radio equipment to make contact, but when he thought that the signal was not working and he could not contact the approaching ship, he put down the equipment.

After instructing the people around him to prepare their weapons, the captain looked seriously in the direction where the voice came from.

After all, those who went out to sea in the middle of the night might not necessarily be good people. They might be the backup called by Gourmet, but they might also be some other criminals.

After hearing the captain's instructions, the fishermen and volunteers' excited expressions froze, and they silently took out their equipment.

I have to say that the captain is right. We must remain vigilant. It would be a pity if we fail at this time.

So, more than a dozen guns were silently pointed at the direction where the sound of the ship came from.

It's not that they don't have hot weapons for self-defense. The reason they didn't use them before is because the hot weapons they have seem to have no chance of having any effect on the giant beast in the sky.

But when dealing with people with malicious intentions, hot weapons come in handy.

Soon, the two ships were close enough to be seen clearly in the darkness.

Opposite were two ships that were neither big nor small, with their hulls made of metal.

As the backbone of the survivors, the captain could see the many fully armed soldiers on the deck, which were much more sophisticated than the few broken guns they had.

Such an excellent team made the captain think while being alert.

A team of this level is much more powerful than ordinary pirates. It can be said that they are obviously the official force of a nearby country.

Looking at the familiar logos on the sides of the two ships, the captain couldn't help but squint his eyes and recall.

He was familiar with that sign.

If I remember correctly, this is the logo of Vietnam Oil and Gas Group.

Before coming to Southeast Asia as a volunteer, he learned about the local customs, geographical environment, and social structure.

The main business scope of PetroVietnam Group includes oil and gas exploration, mining, processing and sales. Its subsidiaries include PetroVietnam Group, 4 parent companies (wholly owned by the Group), 4 limited liability companies (wholly owned by the Group) and 14 companies in which the Group holds 50% of the shares. In 2012, the total business volume of PetroVietnam Group's units reached 773.7 trillion VND, or 38.7 billion USD.

This is undoubtedly Vietnam's leading enterprise and a key state-owned enterprise.

However, according to the captain's understanding, the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group is indeed equipped with troop protection.

But before he could say anything, Gourmet had already walked in front of the boat.

"Brother Marlowe, I'm here."

Gourme waved at the ships of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group and shouted loudly.

In the eyes of others, this is the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group.

But he knew very well that this was the Yue State Oil and Gas Group that had been infiltrated like a sieve by Yong Zhou. The elite members of the Yue State Oil and Gas Group on this ship were all members of Yong Zhou's peripheral organizations.

With Godmother Martha's recent efforts in Southeast Asia, in order to build branches of the organization, Everday's power has penetrated into every aspect of Southeast Asia.

Not to mention the Yue Oil and Gas Group, even the top leaders of Yue and many countries in Southeast Asia have begun to be infiltrated by Yong Zhou's power.

In these not-so-powerful countries, Yongri's development speed is much easier than expected.

As for the leader, Marlowe, he is a student of Eternal Daylight Academy and has recently been conducting various social practice assessments in the Yue region.

Gourmet often saw Marlowe busying around Martha's godmother, so he naturally had a good relationship with him.

"Gourmet, are you okay?"

On one of the boats, a young man walked to the bow and waved to Gourmet.

There was concern in that voice.

Obviously this is the Malo that Gourme called his brother. He happened to come here while discussing some matters on Mui Ne Island.

Seeing this, the leader of the volunteer team raised his eyebrows, and then signaled the people around him to put down their guns and there was no need to continue the confrontation.

It seems that the ship of the Vietnamese Oil and Gas Group in front of them is the support called by Gourme, and the two sides seem to be very familiar with each other.

The captain was naturally a little surprised by this.

As for Nora beside her, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.

She also recognized the logo of Vietnam Oil and Gas Group.

The Vietnam Oil and Gas Group is a real state-owned enterprise. There are a bunch of fully armed soldiers on the two ships opposite. How could Gourmet even call such people? ! You know, if you want to dispatch these people, you can't just have money.

Or, Gurmei was actually in contact with the Vietnamese government? But it seemed that Gurmei was very familiar with the leader of the other side.

Without waiting for anyone to think about it.

Small rafts, rope ladders and other means of assisting boarding the ship were ready, and the fishermen and volunteers boarded the ship under the command of these fully armed soldiers.

Soon everyone was on board.

Without further explanation, Marlowe commanded the ship carrying the survivors to stay where it was.

They will eat, wash and rest under the care of the ship's staff, and then wait for the arrival of Yongzhou's follow-up personnel to ensure the confidentiality of these witnesses, and decide whether to sign confidentiality measures or modify their memories depending on the circumstances.

Marlowe himself, with Gourmet who insisted on going with him, drove another boat in the direction from which Gourmet and his companions came.

In addition to receiving survivors, his mission on this trip was also to investigate the monster's true presence.

No matter how trustworthy the information from Gourme, who has not received professional training, is, it will not be directly adopted.

Because it cannot be ruled out that Gourme was bewitched or influenced.

It is up to Marlowe to decide whether there is a possibility of illusion, and it is up to Marlowe to judge whether he can fight back.

If it is confirmed to be an illusion, he will first look for the cause.

If it really is a giant beast, then he can evacuate after a brief observation and participate in the secret operation that is already being prepared in the nearby area.

In the command room, Marlowe noticed that Gourmet would turn his head from time to time to look at the ship behind him which was gradually shrinking into a black dot.

"Don't worry about your friends. The other ship is full of our people as well."

Marlowe patted Gourmet's shoulder, signaling him not to worry too much.

"Did you encounter another ship on your way here?"

Gourme was somewhat curious about what happened to the volunteers who had left earlier.

"We met them, and their vessel was large enough that I left some men on board their ship."

Marlowe continued to answer.

Hearing this, Gurme heaved a sigh of relief.

Marlowe asked his own question after Gourmet had finished asking, "Gourmet, please tell me in detail what the monster looked like and the specific details of its appearance."

Gourme narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and looked through the glass of the command room at the bow of the ship that was breaking through the seawater: "That was a huge monster that appeared in the sky as the sky was getting dark..."

Then Gourmet began his narration.

Marlowe frowned as he listened to this.

After comparing the inquiries about the survivors from another ship transmitted on the tablet in his hand, Marlowe had a bad feeling in his heart.

The two parties' descriptions are almost completely consistent, with not much difference in the descriptions of various details and the appearance of the monsters. Even if there are minor differences, they are basically caused by inconsistent personal expression abilities.

This suggests that the survivors saw the same scene as Gourmet.

Marlowe knew that Gourmet would not lie to him or the organization.

So the current situation is: either Gurme was deceived by others, or was drugged or hypnotized, so that he believed the information given by the survivors and gave the organization wrong information.

In that case, there would be a problem with the group of survivors.

Or it could be some kind of unified hallucination. If everyone was hallucinating, it would probably not be so unified, after all, no one in the world has exactly the same dream.

In this case, the enemy is most likely a monster that has the ability to cast illusions over a large area, and its specific ability strength and power are uncertain.

Or...the worst case scenario.

There really is a super monster several hundred meters long! Marlowe weighed these three situations silently in his mind for a moment.

If possible, the first two are naturally better.

Troublemakers and monsters with hallucinations are easier to deal with than giant beasts that are several hundred meters long.
