Chapter 245 Undercurrent
"By the way, Stone, later you take everyone to the weapon warehouse to choose weapons. If we're going to fight, let's choose from the Emerald Green area first!"
More advanced weapons and equipment will be distributed as rewards for competitions or future missions!
By the way, the flood season will begin in about ten hours, and we don't know the specifics yet, so we'll tentatively schedule our competition for the third day after the flood starts.
Okay, that concludes today's schedule.
Mo Ming concluded, "Everyone, go back and rest now, and get ready for the competition!"
"Stone, you and the others take the new brothers and sisters to the residential area to choose rooms, then show everyone around and let them get familiar with the place."
Stone grinned and patted his chest: "Alright, Chief!"
As Mo Ming announced the disbandment, everyone left the courtyard in an orderly manner.
Mo Ming stood there, watching them leave. "A new team, I'm really looking forward to it!"
......
Before the flood came, Mo Ming planned to go to the primeval forest to check on the anomalies of the Youhui mineral vein.
They called Xiong Da to ride on Meng Ling's back together, preparing to head to the Misty Primeval Forest.
As the dream spirit rose into the air, they quickly flew away from the floating island where the shelter was located and headed towards the distant primeval forest.
However, just as they flew out of the island's boundaries and into the sea, a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows of the floating island quietly opened wide.
"The target has been spotted. Signal to the boss."
Meanwhile, hundreds of meters away on the sea, another surveillance team also noticed Mengling's movements through binoculars.
"The target has left the island and headed towards the Misty Primeval Forest!"
The monitor observed Meng Ling and Mo Ming through binoculars, immediately recorded this information, and transmitted the message to Mei Chuan via his bracelet.
At this moment, Mei Chuan was sitting in a spacious conference room with a cup of hot tea in front of him.
Two vice presidents, Sakata and Komura, were also present, and the three were discussing the shelter's movements. Suddenly, Meikawa's bracelet vibrated slightly. Meikawa opened the bracelet and saw that it was a message from the sent monitor. A sinister smile appeared on his face.
"That person has finally left the Sky Island." Mei Chuan closed the bracelet, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Sakata frowned slightly upon hearing this: "The flood disaster is coming soon. Why is he leaving the Sky Island at this time? Could it be that he has made some important discovery?"
“His island is in the sky, so the flood won’t affect him much. I don’t think his departure at this time necessarily means there’s something special going on.”
"Maybe it's just routine exploration, looking for resources." Tanaka, standing to the side, sipped his drink and squinted his eyes.
Komura sneered, "Now that he's left Sky Island, that's our chance. He's out of the island without the protection of a sanctuary or many subordinates, making it the perfect time to strike."
"Meichuan, ask your people, that person took a few pets out."
"Vice President, according to my subordinates, that person only had two pets with him: a small dog that was half a person's height and a flying whale, the level of which is unknown."
Sakata nodded, his gaze grim: "This is an opportunity. We can't let him return to Sky Island alive."
Miki, Tanaka, each of you take a team and set off immediately into the primeval forest to find that person. Remember, we want more than just his life; if possible, capture him alive.
Miki and Tanaka exchanged a glance, then nodded: "Understood, we will act as soon as possible."
"Vice President, then I..."
"Hehe, Meichuan, you've worked hard today on the Sky Island matter. Leave this little thing to them and take a good rest." Sakata smiled at Meichuan.
Upon hearing this, Mei Chuan's face darkened, and he mentally cursed Mei Chuan's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Damn it, I found this clue, and you just dismissed me with a flick of your tongue?
He immediately picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and, using the glass as cover, glanced at the small village.
The implication is self-evident: Sakata clearly intends to control Mo Ming, thereby gaining greater influence over the Sky Island issue.
If he captures or kills Mo Ming alive, then all the credit will be for Mei Chuan and his group.
Komura immediately understood and said directly, "Sakata-kun, I think that person must have something extraordinary about him since he can occupy such a large territory as Sky Island."
Just to be on the safe side, let Meichuan take some men with him too.
"Don't worry, Komura-kun. That guy's strongest weapon is the dozen or so cannons he has placed on the edge of the sky island. Now that the cannons are gone, how can he be a match for us?"
Moreover, Tanaka and Miki are quite strong, and with their pets, they're sure to return victorious.
To prevent Komura and Umekawa from getting involved, Sakata directly labeled Mo Ming as someone who only had cannons.
Mei Chuan lowered his head and said with a sinister smile, "Heh, Vice President Sakata has probably forgotten about that golden eagle!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group all changed slightly.
"That eagle might not just be his pet; it could be a fierce bird from the sky island."
Miki calmed himself down and spoke.
"What, Mei Chuan, are you remembering the fear of being dominated by that eagle before? Hahaha..."
"you……"
"Alright, alright, let's do this: just to be on the safe side, let Meichuan and Tita take some men and go with Miki and Tanaka." Komura stated bluntly.
"Isn't this a bit of an overreaction?"
“Sakata-kun, I hope you understand that I was personally selected by the president to come here. If there are any mistakes due to insufficient preparation, no one can bear the responsibility.”
Seeing that Komura had brought up the company president, Sakata didn't say anything more. "Alright! Let's do it your way!"
……
As the actions of the two forces unfolded, Mo Ming's whereabouts were completely exposed.
The teams dispatched by Devil May Cry and Mei Chuan are heading towards the primeval forest, but Mo Ming is completely unaware of this.
"Mengling, hurry up! The flood is coming, we need to deal with the mine issue quickly."
He was worried not only about the unusual mineral deposits, but more importantly, that the virgin forest, being low in elevation, would inevitably be submerged by the floodwaters.
The backup site where the mine is located is underground. If floodwaters flow directly into the underground through the ventilation shafts, the backup site will likely be in danger.
Should we mine the entire vein before the flood arrives?
Although that would completely damage the foundation of the main ore vein, at least a batch could be harvested.
Once the flood arrives, and the duration is uncertain, there may be no opportunity to mine in the short term.
Ugh, this is so frustrating.
Mo Ming sat on Meng Ling's back, his gaze fixed on the distant forest, his mind filled with thoughts of the shelter and the mine.
However, he was unaware that a massive crisis was quietly approaching...
