Chapter 20 Investigator Jack
Instructor Qinghong still comes to the classroom on time as before.
After looking around at everyone for a week, she also saw the Du Qingqing whom she had personally thrown out of the classroom. After counting the number of people and confirming that there were 13 people, she said calmly: "Let's go."
Immediately, everyone followed Teacher Qinghong and left the classroom.
In the Starving Ghost Trial at the River Disaster Academy, one class enters the task portal under the stone tablet every day, so everyone in the square is already used to it.
Qinghong led these 13 people to the square portal.
"Okay, I have entered your numbers into the optical brain system. You will complete the Starving Ghost Trial together in a mission world, and this is the portal for the natural disaster victims in the River of Anguish gathering place to go out to perform missions.
It is also the most important place in your future growth."
She seemed to notice everyone's nervousness.
"Don't worry, just use what you have learned in the academy, go all out to complete the summoner's mission, and grab as many resources as possible in the process. The optical brain data chip will give you the corresponding
hint."
As she spoke, she actually patted everyone on the shoulders to show encouragement.
"You just need to remember not to think of the outside world as a world of disaster. Everything outside is just a mission. Now you can go in."
The light blue vortex of the portal seems to possess a magical power.
After the students in front entered one by one, Chen Mo took a deep breath and took the last step into the portal.
He felt that his body was suddenly enveloped by a strong air current.
Tip: Confirm the identity of the starving ghost student trialist.
Tip: Wait to be called.
Tip: Discover the Summoner.
Tip: The optical brain is collecting language data and clothing camouflage data.
Tip: The time and space coordinates are being determined, waiting to cross the time and space barrier, target hive world.
Accompanied by a strong sense of oppression, before Chen Mo could react, he felt as if his body was being stretched into a noodle, followed by a bright blue light, as if traveling through a long time and space tunnel.
Then he appeared on the deck of a small boat swaying in the sea.
"here it is?"
The gray night sky, dark clouds obscured the stars and moon.
There is a faint salty smell in the air.
After Chen Mo struggled to stand up from the deck, he stroked the metal railing on the edge of the boat deck and looked at the small yacht drifting in the sea. He couldn't help but be stunned.
At this moment, he even had the illusion that he had returned to the world he once was.
Others also stood up staggeringly from the deck, showing different emotions such as excitement, confusion, vigilance, worry, etc., and instinctively looked around, observing this foreign world that was completely different from the living environment of the disaster world.
There were still some ashes left on the deck of the boat and under everyone's feet, but they were quickly blown away by the sea breeze.
"Cough cough, cough cough."
A weak cough brought everyone back to their senses.
This is a young and capable man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing jeans, but at this moment, a large amount of blood is flowing out of his left abdomen, and there are large areas of burns on his body, and he looks like he may fall into coma at any time.
"I am Jack, an international investigator from the Western Continent. I am responsible for jointly investigating a disappearance case of superpowers and martial arts masters. On this mysterious island, my companions and I were attacked by unknown forces. My companions were very worried.
He may have been killed, and I can no longer complete the mission."
Jack paused and coughed up some blood.
"Your mission is to continue to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of superpowers and martial artists on this small island on my behalf, and to hand over the relevant information to other Western Continent international investigators who will arrive here three days later."
At this time, Chen Mo's optical brain data chip also gave corresponding prompts for the task.
Tip: This mission is to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of superpowers and martial arts masters and lasts for three days.
Tip: If the task is completed, 30 natural disaster contribution points will be obtained. If the task fails, 90 natural disaster contribution points will be deducted. Those who do not have enough natural disaster contribution points will be eliminated and recycled.
Every natural disaster victim knows what the elimination and recycling prompted by the optical brain data chip means. In the barren disaster world, the powerful laws of time and space will not let go of any quality, including the bodies of the natural disaster victims.
Chen Mo, Han Xue, Kunai, and Tao Zi, the four of them have naturally stood together.
After getting the relevant task prompts, Chen Mo looked at the three of them, and all three of them nodded, obviously they had also received the relevant prompts.
"Ahem, I am seriously injured now. I must leave here immediately and go back for treatment. I can't stay here any longer. You should leave here as soon as possible and go on your mission."
Following Jack's words, Chen Mo actually received the chip prompt again.
Tip: Please leave the ship within 30 seconds, otherwise the mission will be regarded as failed and the countdown will begin.
Tip: 30 seconds.
Tip: 29 seconds.
After receiving the prompt from the optical brain data chip, everyone suddenly became panicked and naturally entered a tense rhythm.
"See the island?"
"It's too dark, I can't see anything!"
"Found it, over there!"
Although the sky was very dark, everyone quickly determined the direction of the island.
According to a rough estimate, the small boat everyone is in at this moment is at least five or six hundred meters away from the island. Fortunately, there are not too many winds and waves here, and the temperature is not low.
Tip: 18 seconds.
Tip: 17 seconds.
Seeing that the countdown in the chip prompt was getting shorter and shorter, and the bloody prompt numbers were like devils urging their lives, everyone immediately did not dare to stay any longer, and jumped down one after another in the confusion and jumped into the sea water.
The moment Chen Mo left the boat, the countdown on the optical brain data chip ended.
The temperature of the sea water is not cold, even a little warm.
The survival instinct made everyone who jumped into the sea swim towards the coast with all their strength.
As long as the direction is confirmed, Chen Mo feels that with his own physical strength, swimming this distance to the shore should not be a big problem.
"Help, I can't swim..."
I don’t know who was shouting in terror from behind, but soon the sea water poured into my mouth, leaving only a whine.
Swimming is almost one of the basic instincts of every natural disaster victim, just like walking. Almost no one will treat this matter as a problem, even Shi Shi, because in Shi Shi's memory, he, Nectar, and Monkey Three
When I was a kid, one of my favorite pastimes was swimming in the River of Sorrow.
At this time, naturally no one would try to rescue the unfortunate guy.
Otherwise, according to common sense, drowning people will often try their best to grab life-saving straws, and here is a full five to six hundred meters away from the coast. As a result, it is very likely that two people will drown together.
Huchi, wheeze.
Panting, Chen Mo finally swam to a beach.
The others were all at about the same speed, wading through the water one after another and arriving on the beach. Just because of their different physical strength, some people still had some energy left, while others were exhausted.
The area of this island does not seem to be too small.
The depths of the island are covered with vegetation. It seems that because it is in the tropics, the vegetation is quite lush, and some of the giant trees are dozens of meters high.
After resting for a while, the breathing gradually stopped and everyone gathered together again.
Because of the darkness, people could not easily identify each other, so they could only confirm each other after getting close.
"Who didn't follow?"
The person who asked the question was Lu Yi, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Huh, I'm still alive."
In the darkness, Kunai's sarcastic voice came. He certainly knew what Lu Yi was thinking.
"Charcoal, charcoal can't swim!"
Du Fangyan shouted in fear.
You must know that Charcoal has been making suggestions all along. Unexpectedly, he couldn't swim. He just entered this mission world and drowned in such a confused manner.
What should you and your sister do now?
"Keep your voice down!"
Lu Yi lowered his voice and said hysterically: "Didn't you hear what Jack said? He was attacked on this island. Do you want to die here? If you want to die, I will kill you myself!"
Du Fangyan was so frightened that he covered his mouth. Judging from the ferocious expression on the other party's face, it was obvious that he was not joking.
Du Qingqing, who was at a loss for words, could not help but sob, but also did not dare to make a sound.
"The trial has begun, what do you think?"
A calm voice came, it was Gao Shu.
And the person he was questioning was surprisingly Lei Wu, who had almost never talked to the students in the class for more than three months!
However, compared to his usual aloofness, Lei Wu had a serious expression at the moment.
And judging from his clothes, he seemed to have already put on his equipment, and the small wand in his hand exuded a strong energy aura.
"Since it is an investigation, of course we have to go deep into the interior of this small island to investigate. Although this task seems to have no clue, what is certain is that our next activity space will be limited to this small island. In this way
As a result, the external factors we can take advantage of will be reduced, but in contrast, the enemy's variables will be much less. This is indeed a very suitable mission scenario for a Starving Ghost trial."
What Lei Wu said was actually more than what Chen Mo had heard from him in the past three months combined.
Obviously he is not a taciturn person, he is just not interested in the students in the class, or he doesn't bother to socialize with others.
"How about we work together?"
Gao Shuxin said: "You should also know the strength of the five of us. If we cooperate, the probability of successfully completing the task will be much greater."
After hearing Gaoshu's persuasive words, Kunai showed a nervous expression.
The strength of the five-person group is already very strong. If even Lei Wu joins in, once the mission can be successfully completed, then I am afraid they will have to deal with him next.
However, Lei Wu said calmly: "It depends on the situation!"
Fortunately, Leigo didn't agree immediately. Kunai was relieved in his heart, but he couldn't help but be wary.
However, he is not a eloquent person, so he can only worry in his heart.
"Be quiet."
Lu Ye, among the adult five-person group, seemed to have discovered something. He looked toward the dark bushes deep in the island and said cautiously: "There seems to be movement inside."
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
A pair of eyes, staring in the direction of the bushes.
Just when everyone was wondering if Lu Ye heard it wrong, Tiantian reacted immediately, pointed in a certain direction and said: "Over there!"
After everyone heard this, they immediately entered a state of alert.
In the direction Tiantian was pointing, a group of men in black suddenly walked out of the jungle. There were more than a dozen people, more than Chen Mo and his group.
Although there is still some distance between the two sides at this moment and they cannot see each other clearly in the night, it is not difficult to see their hostility from the fierce pace of this group of people.
Then there was another sound of branches breaking in the bushes.
A guy who is much larger than the other men in black, a fat man who weighs at least 250 pounds, is wearing a very restrictive looking black suit, which seems to be bursting at any time, following this group of men in black
appeared behind.
When things came to a close, Chen Mo was lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
He had already taken out his bronze dagger and assumed a close combat stance.
At this moment, he was really glad that he had prepared this bronze dagger in advance. Otherwise, in a place without stones or similar hard objects, his telekinesis would not be able to attack. He would have no means of attack and could only use his bare hands or rely on E-level skills.
Telekinesis bullet, a long-range attack every five seconds.
Others also showed a little nervousness.
These men in black obviously regarded them as enemies and Jack's accomplices because Jack had conducted preliminary investigations on the island before and even started sabotage during the process.
Of course, they were also accomplices.
"Woo."
At this time, Du Qingqing could no longer suppress her fear. Her legs went limp and she collapsed on the beach, crying.
Du Fangyan on the side was not much better.
His legs kept shaking and he hid behind everyone. He even forgot to comfort his sister. His mind went blank and he didn't know what to do.
