Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh conspiracy
Although this was not his first time doing a mission, Cheng Lin was still full of freshness about this operation.
Taking advantage of the spare time on the plane, he also learned more information from Song Jun.
"Jinshan Island" is geographically located at the southern tip of Africa. It is one of the many small islands in the sea. On the planet where the ocean occupies the vast majority of the area, there are countless such small islands. Except for a few that are due to geographical location, they are also
Except for the islands that have some kind of resources, the rest are mostly deserted.
"Jinshan Island" was originally such a barren island with no human habitation and only some seabirds living on it all year round. However, this situation has been changed by the great wave of spiritual energy recovery.
In the early days of spiritual energy recovery, many spiritual places emerged around the world.
That is, those areas where the spiritual energy concentration is relatively high.
These spiritual lands have also been plundered by global forces, and until now, they have basically been divided.
There are also many types of spiritual lands. Some of them have a low surface concentration, but contain spiritual mineral veins underground. Spiritual ores can be mined. To make an analogy, they are just like the oil producing areas in the original world.
The main goal of the power struggle.
Coincidentally, "Jinshan Island" was discovered to have a mineral vein. After some open and covert fighting, in short, the final result was that Xia State paid for the mining rights and usage rights of this island.
They even sent an army to station there to mine the mineral veins, and changed the name of the island to "Jinshan Island". However, because this island is far away from the Xia Kingdom's mainland, transportation has become a problem, and it can only be done every once in a while.
After a period of time, ocean freighters are arranged for transportation.
It is conceivable that it is difficult to ensure safety with such a large amount of ore floating on the sea. Although the background of Xia Kingdom has a certain deterrent effect, on the vast ocean, stealing the ore, killing everyone, and then hiding, even if
Even the Xia government would have difficulty tracing him, let alone arresting him under the complicated international relations.
Therefore, a certain degree of protection is particularly necessary.
Cheng Lin and the four of them were going to escort the ship this time. According to Song Jun, the risk was actually not high.
"We have four fifth-grades here. We all have armor blessings. If we work together to defend, we can block even the sixth-grade realm. But how many sixth-grade realms are there in total? Only seventy or eighty. It sounds like a lot, but excluding our country,
As well as some countries and forces that have good relations with us, how many are left? If so many people are divided among hundreds of countries, how many are left? Even if you really want to rob, you must consider whether you can withstand our subsequent retaliation.
, Therefore, our main task is to block those fifth-level people floating on the sea. This group of people is a mixed bag, most of them are desperadoes, and they have very few scruples."
Song Jun explained this.
Cheng Lin was also convinced after hearing this and felt much more relaxed.
…
…
The plane made several transfers back and forth, and when it arrived in Madagascar, it was the afternoon of the next day. Song Jun contacted the island and they said that they were loading the ship. After discussing it, several people decided not to rush and stayed there for a day.
We stayed overnight and early the next morning, we took a small boat and left Madagascar, sailed into the sea and headed towards "Jinshan Island".
The weather was good today, the sun was very bright, the sea breeze was blowing, and the heat waves were blowing. The four of them, Cheng Lin, were sitting on the boat, holding on to the side of the boat, wearing goggles, looking at the boundless blue sea, talking and laughing all the way, and they were quite happy.
It was also the first time for Cheng Lin to come here. Sitting on a speedboat, he saw the white water splashing backwards on both sides, and the salty water vapor was not so difficult to adapt to.
"Look! The destination is ahead!"
Suddenly, He Shu stood up excitedly, pointed forward and said.
Cheng Lin raised his head, squinted his eyes, and saw a shadow on the sea in the distance. It was really not big, and from this distance, it looked even smaller.
The speedboat was incredibly fast, but it took dozens of minutes to finally get close. The island was slightly deserted, with some complete trees on it, and some waterbirds hovering on the cliffs on the west side. On the east side, the terrain suddenly became gentle.
A man-made pier.
You can see a huge freighter parked on the sea some distance away from the island. Probably due to the draft problem, it cannot get close. The top of the freighter is black and the bottom is red. The color is eye-catching. At this moment, the deck is lowered, and there are people busy on it.
Small boats circulated between the dock and the freighter. Workers in blue uniforms mechanically transported the ore onto the freighter and stored it in containers. They seemed to be in full swing.
On the pier, there was a group of soldiers with guns standing. At this time, Cheng Lin and the others seemed to have been spotted. The shore started to signal, and the signal was also replied here, and the speed was slowed down, and then they slowly approached the pier.
.
"Lieutenant Song, you are finally here."
As soon as a few people got on the pier, they saw a dark-skinned officer walking over and said with a smile.
On the way here, Cheng Lin had already learned that the people in the first division were all serving in the military at the same time. The average team member had the rank of lieutenant, and the team leader had the rank of school officer.
It sounds like a lower level, but after all, they belong to Tris, so the meaning is completely different.
"Captain Li, I've been waiting for a long time." Song Jun also said politely.
She was the only one in the team who came here for the second time to do the escort mission, so she obviously knew this person.
After saying a few polite words, the officer led a few people to the island. Cheng Lin, who had just arrived, was cautious and said nothing. He looked around and found that the island looked like a large mine.
The outer perimeter is a cordon composed of military camps, and inside are some houses made of alloy steel, which can be regarded as offices. Further inside is the mine, with rumbles coming from the ground, and huge machinery scattered throughout the construction site.
Cheng Lin took a look and found that the people in the mine were all Xia workers, and the uniforms they wore were the logo of a large state-owned enterprise.
The four of them entered the office together, and Song Jun began to communicate with the local garrison senior officials to check the procedures and confirm their identity, which was not complicated at all.
It took more than an hour and it was over.
"Please take a rest. We will definitely finish pretending before dark, and then we can leave." The officer made tea for several people, then closed the door and left.
…
…
Europe.
From a distance, the white and quiet cathedral seems to be no different from before.
But when you walk in, you will feel that it is serious and dull from the inside out.
Inside the church, in a certain room, there was a round table.
A group of supernatural beings sat around a round table. The chair was a man wearing a white priest's robe. In front of each person, a printed document was placed.
In the silence, the person at the top said: "All the clues collected are in the report. You have all read it. What do you think about bck?"
A person on the left side of the main seat said: "Based on the information we have obtained, we cannot accurately indicate his origin, and there are no accurate clues about his abilities. However, I personally tend to believe that he is from Asia. To be precise, I personally think
, he is most likely from the Xia Kingdom."
A woman on the right also agreed with a low voice: "I agree with you too. Well, I am almost certainly from the Xia Kingdom. This couldn't be more obvious."
Someone next to me frowned: "What's your reason?"
The woman pulled out a piece of paper from the file, showed it, and said: "This is the last scene before Byron's death. It can be seen that it was not the mechanical life in the projection that killed him - the machinery there was not humanoid!
Through comparison, it can be determined that the person who killed him was an altar guard produced by a previous projection. It was a very powerful guard. Although it was somewhat obscured, it could be seen that it was the one owned by Xia Kingdom!
"
After a pause, she added: "I got news some time ago that it has been repaired and it is normal to be brought into the projection. This is enough to show that bck has colluded with the Xia people!"
Another fat man also slammed the table: "That's right! Moreover, bck is obviously targeting us and not the Xia people! This is enough to explain the problem!"
"Agree."
"I think so too."
Others also expressed similar attitudes.
The scene sent back by Byron before his death was due to the mysterious items inside a certain eup, and this news was also concealed internally.
"But who could it be? Shi Shengcun, a master of the Xia Kingdom, was seriously injured and has definitely not left Yanshan. Li Yang also has obvious evidence of his absence."
"Perhaps it is a disguised attack by someone in the sixth level. There are many sixth levels in Xia Kingdom, or it is simply the hidden power of Xia Kingdom."
"Okay," the white-robed wizard sitting at the top finally said, "Whether he is a disguised or hidden strongman, it doesn't matter. The important thing is to stop the loss. We need to rest for a while."
There was silence in the room.
Suddenly, the woman said unwillingly: "Is that the end of it?"
"Of course not," the white-robed wizard said calmly, "I just got the news that Lancelot is likely to take that step in the next two days. Huh, this time we suffered a big loss for the Federation. They
You have to do something, I believe they won’t refuse.”
…
…
Xia Kingdom, Imperial Capital, Yanshan.
Although it is already late autumn, the fog in Yanshan is still misty and humid.
At a certain moment, a car drove into the clouds and mist and entered the parking lot. Then Liang Jing got out of the car and looked at the familiar mountain. He breathed out tiredly and had a warm smile on his face.
"Sister Liang!"
"Sister Liang, you are back."
Going up the mountain road, everyone he met said hello, and Liang Jing nodded in greeting one by one.
After passing through the vermilion gate halfway up the mountain, she walked into the small courtyard and saw the tree that had begun to wither. Liang Jing straightened her hair and clothes to make herself look more energetic. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and she frowned.
She smelled the medicine.
She walked in with heavy steps and followed the smell of medicine to an antique door. She raised her hand and knocked, and a "come in" came from inside. Then she opened the door, and soon she saw the man sitting quietly.
A pale man was reading a book in front of the carved window.
