Inside the UnionCouncil hall, delegation mbers were once again seated around the table.
Unlike the previous two tis when only so of the main representative mbers were present, this ti all delegation mbers were in attendance, filling the long conference table.
The operations director stood at the head, addressing the mbers with a solemn expression, saying, "Gentlen, we have received news from the Convergence Zone that our Camp One located there has been subjected to an unexpected attack. Mr. Wilhelm of the Linax Federation has been confird dead."
"Wilhelm is dead?"
Many delegation mbers looked surprised.
However, so delegation mbers had already been inford of the situation to so extent before arriving, and one of them asked very seriously, "Is the reality of this news confird?"
"The ssage was transmitted here half an hour ago, encrypted. The Linax Federation delegation also received the sa ssage, sent by their mbers. So, we can confirm that this is not false news."
"Who did it?"
"Due to the limited content of the telegram, we have not yet been able to confirm the identity of the attacker. We can only discern from the clothing described in the telegram that the attacker was wearing the clothes of the Processing BureauInvestigation Director ."
Processing BureauInvestigation Director ?
All delegation mbers present imdiately reacted.
A representative mber asked seriously, "Is it the Investigation Director who went to the Convergence Zone to provide support before?"
"Possibly."
At this mont, a representative mber imdiately asked sternly, "Didn't you say before that he went to support the camp set up there by Da Shun? Why would he be here?"
The operations director said helplessly, "We are not sure if it is him. If it is him, then it is indeed a misjudgnt on our part."
"Is that so?" The representative mber continued to question, "I rember that your assessnt of his Strength placed him stably within the top four hundred worldwide. How do you explain today's events? It seems that you have made more than one mistake. I think it is necessary to audit the financial flows of the intelligence and operations departnts."
The operations director imdiately apologized sincerely, bowing and saying, "Gentlen and ladies, I am very sorry, this is our mistake."
He added, "Those assessnts were made by professionals based on his previous performance. Assuming that the attacker is indeed him, then the data used for the assessnt must have deviated greatly from the facts, perhaps he deliberately concealed his realityStrength."
Another Martial Artist entering the top thirty?
The delegation mbers looked at each other. Regardless of the attacker's identity, being able to kill Wilhelm undoubtedly demonstrates great Strength.
Soone asked again, "Was the attacker injured? Does he still have combat power? Can the camp capture him?"
"I'm sorry." The operations director apologized, saying, "The telegram we received has limited content. We have already sent a telegram to the next airship heading there to check the situation, but capturing this person may be very difficult…
According to the telegram description, the attacker killed Wilhelm between glances. We might…"
He looked at all the delegation mbers present and cautiously reminded them, "Perhaps we should consider the safety of the camp more, rather than how to capture this person. Because the main force of the camp has already gone to an unknown area, and there is not enough Strength left to stop such a powerful Martial Artist ."
Many delegation mbers present looked stern.
They certainly knew the importance of that camp, otherwise, they would not have transferred materials from various sub-companies to build it. If this camp is lost, even if they obtain the relics, it will be almost impossible to send them back safely.
A delegation mber said, "Can we initiate legal proceedings against the Processing Bureau? We went to support the front line, but we were attacked by the Processing Bureau. This is a violation of the Great Alliance agreent."
The operations director looked over and saw that the speaker was a representative mber who did not often attend etings. No wonder they would ask such a question, but he still patiently explained, "It is not possible. It is just a telegram, without even a photo. The Processing Bureau can completely deny it."
Even if they used this information to sue, the Great Shun Governnt could completely refute it, saying that if the attacker was wearing Investigation Director clothes, then they were governnt personnel, and that if they wore your clothes, could it be said that you are killing each other?
Moreover, the Convergence Zone is located at the junction of two worlds, a battleground for both worlds, and also a battlefield. There is no order to speak of. The struggle there cannot be resolved by so-called laws. The only law that prevails there is the most primitive violence: the strong survive, and the weak are eliminated.
A delegation mber sitting in the front row calmly asked at this mont, "What is the reaction of the Linax Federation diplomatic corps? This ti it was their people who died, do they have any indication?"
The operations director respectfully said, "So far, no news has co from them."
"What are your plans?"
The operations director said, "This person poses a serious threat to our Union, but limited by communications, we cannot make reasonable arrangents until the next intelligence arrives. But I think we must be prepared for the camp to suffer serious losses."
That mber said in a deep voice, "In this way, we and the Great Shun Governnt are back to the sa level. If this is the goal that the Da ShunMinistry of Defense wants to achieve, then they have now succeeded."
The operations director imdiately interjected at this ti, "But it's useless." He raised his head, looked at all the delegation mbers, and said with great confidence, "Due to the breach of the World Ring, the Jibei ProvinceGovernnt is extrely constrained in manpower. The Strength we and our partners have invested in the front is not comparable to what they have at the mont.
Even if there is one more Third-Limit Martial Artist whose world ranking is enough to enter the top thirty, it will not change anything. Although Wilhelm is gone, we still have Heros ."
As soon as the words "We still have Heros " were uttered, many delegation mbers present agreed. "Giant God" Heros is the best card they have in their hands, not to ntion the coordination of other team mbers. The advantage they have gathered in the early investnt is by no ans sothing that Da Shun can reverse with one or two people.
Deep in an unknown area, Xu Chan was leading a team carefully through the gaps in a dense forest. They had been here for many days, but had not yet found the whereabouts of the relics.
The relics only emit a glow for a period of ti, and then it dissipates, so it can only be discerned which area the relic fell into.
Moreover, relics not only attract people, but also attract creatures from the Convergence Zone. It is very possible that they have been swallowed by so creatures, and it is difficult to feel this without getting close, which requires patient searching.
However, such a large area makes it very difficult to find such a small thing, not to ntion that the depths of the Convergence Zone are themselves an extrely dangerous place, which is an extre test of people.
During this ti, the team he led had suffered so losses. The main mbers were still there, but the technical, logistical, and auxiliary personnel had been reduced by 30%.
Even with him there, it was difficult to protect them.
He still rembered that just two days ago, soone saw a colorful light less than tens of ters away, suspected to be a relic. Then the personnel who went forward had just run over when they were swallowed in one bite by a certain creature inhabiting there.
There were also people who were walking well, clearly on a road that teammates had walked before, but inexplicably sank into the ground. Although they were pulled out by teammates, everything below the waist had been fused together by so kind of highly corrosive digestive fluid, which could not be distinguished at all, and the body had been injected with so kind of Parasites eggs, which were used as an incubation bed. In the end, they could only be injected with inhibitory Drugs and carried away on a stretcher.
And this team mber was also tough. Knowing that he was dragging down the entire team, or perhaps simply not wanting to face it, he chose to end his life that night. And the person watching him may have known, or may have neglected, but no one ntioned this matter, and they could only burn him on the spot and take the ashes back.
Such situations have occurred several tis. On the contrary, the people from Union and Linax Federation, who had been vigilant all along, had not suffered much loss so far.
At this ti, a mber responsible for guarding the rear cover passed through the Boundary Token: "Captain , they are coming up again."
There are Small field creature in the team, which allows them to maintain mutual contact.
Xu Chan had expected this. Since encountering Blood Diamond , people have been following behind these days. Although they managed to shake them off several tis, they would soon catch up again.
There is no way around this. So many of them traveling in this strange land are destined to leave many traces, which cannot be hidden from the eyes of experienced veterans. And the Convergence Zone is full of dangers, and every step must be taken carefully, which ans that Speed cannot be increased.
He imdiately used the Boundary Token to tell everyone, "Everyone continue to move forward, follow the route of the vanguard team, don't look back. Captain Hai , when I am not around, you will lead the team."
Captain Hai was a burly man with a beard. He imdiately said upon hearing this, "Captain Xu , I will take good care of the team."
Xu Chan patted him on the shoulder, and then he walked to the rear of the team alone. After the team mbers responsible for covering the rear reconnaissance also left, he waited for a while, and saw a blurry figure appear in the forest, and then forcibly tore open the saw-toothed vines that were wrapped around him, and walked to the front of him.
This person was wearing a scarlet protective suit, his hair was tied into a bun, and his face and shoulders were particularly broad and heavy, which made his upper body look abnormally strong, but his legs were slightly slender in comparison. His eyes were also a rare red color, which was suspected to be caused by the differentiation of so kind of Mutated Tissue.
"Blood Diamond …"
Xu Chan stared at the person coming. He had fought with this person before. This person had taken a blow of his Heart Qi head-on at the ti, but was unscathed.
He asked himself that he could not be undamaged by taking anyone's Heart Qi head-on, indicating that this person's Internal energy and body had sothing special about them.
However, after the battle at that ti, the other party may have felt that he could not take him down, so he retreated directly and never appeared again. Now he has co to him again, is there any certainty?
Just as he was thinking this, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and then he heard a series of explosions, rapidly approaching from far to near. The next mont, two agile figures appeared on the other side of Blood Diamond .
