Chapter 749 (2/2)
“If I were to face them I could decimate this entire squad,” Xue Sha sneered.
“Don’t give me that bullshit, will you?” Tang Xiu snappily derided him. “They are just ordinary people. What identity do you have? Do you feel great comparing yourself with them?”
Ugh… Xue Sha let out a hollow laugh and bowed his head, no longer speaking.
Under the military helicopter, Mo Xiaonan, a member of Phantom Special Combat Squad squinted at the two men, Shui Gui, Ye Shisan, and immediately asked, “Senior Officer, what exactly do they do?”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. I am not clear about it myself.” Hu Zhenfeng shook his head.
“You don’t know them either?” Asked Mo Xiaonan. “Doesn’t that mean we’ll be taking orders from that surnamed Tang brat? Is this a joke or something?”
“This is an order!” rebuked Hu Zhenfeng in a deep voice.
Ye Shisan shot a cold stare at Mo Xiaonan and chillingly spoke, “If you dare say anything more about our Boss with that insulting face of yours, I will kill you here and now even if you’re a soldier!”
Boss?
Mo Xiaonan sneered, “I was thinking he’s some kind of top brass, big shot or something, it turns out that he’s just a Boss, huh? What the heck has happened to our superiors’ heads? To think that they ordered us to obey orders from a businessman? Besides… just his braggart bodyguards are already a damn funny comedy!”
There was also an unsightly expression on Yu Shuqing’s face. But he thought that there should be a lot more than that what they could see because he felt that it was impossible for a pure businessman to be qualified to come here and also obtain the rights command them. He glared at Mo Xiaonan and scolded him in a deep voice, “Shut up!”
Mo Xiaonan hummed coldly and glared provocatively at Ye Shisan and Shui Guo, no longer speaking.
Twenty minutes later, another military helicopter was ready. Soon after Hu Zhenfeng and the rest boarded it, it quickly disappeared into the clouds. After more than two hours, two military helicopters had already arrived at the Nanxia Province Garrison Base, while the base itself had sent six military jeeps to send them to the military port.
“LIBERTY” passenger liner.
After boarding this medium-sized liner, Hu Zhenfeng spoke to the people on the liner and then sailed directly to Mist Source Island. They must bypass Taiwan in order to go to Mist Source Island from Nanxia Province, so the voyage took a lot of time. Only after it was dusk did the liner finally enter a misty sea zone.
“Interesting.”
While standing on the bow deck, Tang Xiu folded his arms and looked around. He could clearly sense that there was special energy drifting from the side, and it should be the energy coming from the fog. The volatility of this energy, however, had an active and stable regular pattern which was not formed by a natural formation but artificially created by an array technique.
“Tang Xiu, pay attention to your safety later. This sea area is not peaceful.” Hu Zhenfeng walked out of the cabin with a faint smile on his face, as he spoke to Tang Xiu after standing side by side.
Tang Xiu turned his head and asked, “Care to elaborate?”
“There are savage beasts in this sea area. Do you know what a savage beast is? It’s the kind of wild beast that possess a simple, intelligent mind, but its attack power is many times stronger than wild animals, especially in this foggy area which has black sharks living in. Fortunately, our ship is made of steel. If a wooden boat were to pass through this area, those black sharks would definitely break the boat’s deck in one bite.”
“Why has no one ever tried to hunt these black sharks?”
“It’s not like we have never hunted them. These black sharks are huge in numbers and also social animals. Every time they appear in groups, there will be at least hundreds of them. The army garrisoned here has been dispatching soldiers to clean them up many times already, but they always feel that they cannot kill nor destroy them.”
Tang Xiu nodded and said lightly, “I’ll send some people to help clean them up when the crisis on Mist Source Island is solved. I’m afraid we will no longer able to block the news about this island again after this incident, nonetheless. Civilians from the outside will inevitably come here, so it’s necessary to remove this crisis.”
Hu Zhenfeng’s mouth twitched, and there was contempt in his eyes when he looked at Tang Xiu. He had seen many capable people and many braggarts, but none of them was so arrogant. Even the army was unable to eradicate these black sharks, and yet, Tang Xiu, who had never seen them, actually dared to brag such a ridiculous bull here. He really couldn’t think through why the higher-ups would send such a fellow to solve the crisis on Mist Source Island.
As the liner sailed forward, it quickly passed through the foggy area and entered a clear field of vision, as a looming distant island was then seen in their range of sight. When the liner anchored on the island, Hu Zhenfeng personally took a batch of masks.
“I don’t need it,” Tang Xiu lightly shook his head.
“Don’t talk nonsense, Tang Xiu!” Hu Zhenfeng angrily said. “The virus epidemic spreading on Mist Source Island is very serious. If it wasn’t for this gas mask provided on board this ship, I would have taken them to my comrades to wear. Just hurry up and put this on. We’re going to get off the ship!”
Tang Xiu did not take it, walking to the edge of the deck before his figure then sprinted forward in an instant. After dashing for six-plus meters, he leaped over in one jump and directly landed on the shore road, while Mo Awu and the others followed suit and also jumped ashore.
