Chapter 356: Unknown Militants
Translator: _Min_Editor: Caron_
Right now, inside the New Moon Island command center, the light on the screen flashed while ten workers busily worked in front of the computer. On the big screen of the command center was a vessel with 400 tons of displacement. It had no flags and just a few people were on deck.
It was the image captured by the hummingbird drone.
Based on the analysis, the destination of the vessel was Xin's New Moon Island.
A month ago, Jiang Chen set up a Wide Range Life Signal Detector on the island to monitor the life signals within a 500 kilometer radius. The device was certainly useful in a sea territory. If it were set to the life signals of the fish, no fish would escape this device. The same would go for any human if it was set to detect humans.
Since the technology was already mature on the wasteland, it wasn't hard for the Fishbone workers to assemble an enhanced version. It was easy to censor one's signal as a chip inside the EP could do the job. However, in the modern world, no one would escape the eyes of this device.
Therefore, the technology widely used in the 22nd century for search and rescue became radar technology for Jiang Chen. As long as it wasn't drones, no living creature would escape its eyes.
Ten minutes ago, the radar station detected the information of this vessel. It was a transportation vessel, but they caught the signal of one hundred people onboard.
During this sensitive period of time, any of the vessels near their territory would be monitored.
When the vessel was still 50 kilometers away from the border, after confirming that the vessel wasn't traveling through a standard international route, the soldiers at the command center first determined that the vessel may be smuggling goods, so they immediately contacted the patrol boat in the nearby territory and approached the ship.
Ten minutes later, the vessel entered Xin's border. Then it adjusted its course and headed straight to New Moon Island under the cover of darkness.
The patrol boat approached the vessel four kilometers away and attempted to enter the radio channel of the vessel. However, the vessel entered radio silence and ignored all communication attempts. The patrol boat, realizing the oddity of the situation, did not take the risk of approaching the boat but instead, released hummingbird drones.
Under the night's veil, the drones flew across the ocean surface, approached the vessel suspected of smuggling, and entered the vessel.
The image transmitted back shocked the entire command center!
The boat didn't contain smugglers, but instead, fully equipped soldiers! The disguised sailors on deck were all equipped with pistols and wore bulletproof vests.
There were a total of 100 unknown militants.
The vessel was also equipped with landing boats and other military equipment. Other than the lack of country identification, it was a force no inferior to an actual army.
Realizing the oddity of the situation, Ivan immediately ordered New Moon Island to enter combat ready state. All soldiers were fully equipped and gathered at the airway, waiting for the order.
Barkary put down the phone and looked anxiously at Ivan.
”Boss isn't picking up.”
He couldn't reach Jiang Chen. With Jiang Chen's C-grade genetic vaccine improved body, it would take at least one hour before he ”finished.”
Ivan silently looked at the screen in the command center. The vessel was approaching New Moon Island at high speeds. There was only two hundred kilometers of distance between the enemy and the island. It only took a moment before they were 80 kilometers inside the border.
Judging by the situation at hand, they came with not the friendliest intentions.
”The boss is purposely not picking up.” Ivan seemed to have understood something as he told Barkary in an undertone.
