Chapter 2054: Chapter 2117: More Trouble Ahead
Of course, it’s similar to just now. After Li Yifei listened, he asked, "You don’t know what’s going on with the island either?"
"We don’t know... what we know is limited. The two groups of people sent were also elites, but after going in, they just completely disappeared."
"So, you an this happened three days ago?" Li Yifei asked with a sowhat displeased expression.
Wang Yong sighed and said, "It was three days ago that we lost contact, but we thought it was fine until yesterday..."
"What about the satellite? Isn’t the BeiDou System already capable of sub-ter-level reconnaissance?" Li Yifei held back his frustration and asked.
"It was supposed to be, but one of the odd things is that the satellite can’t detect the island at all, not even the area around it."
It’s not just this anomaly. Recently, many strange things have happened around the island, which caught the military’s attention. Firstly, several small fishing vessels mysteriously disappeared in the nearby waters, followed by the discovery of the vessels a few days later, but the people onboard were gone. There’s soone who saw super-large fish in nearby waters too. It’s normally not surprising to see large fish in the sea, not to ntion those huge whales, even so groupers can grow to several ters or even larger, and so octopuses can grow to more than ten ters or bigger. But according to the person who saw them, the fish he saw had a head as big as two or three stories high. The fish was chasing its prey swiftly, stirring up waves on the sea surface, before it was discovered that the huge fish was chasing several great white sharks.
Chasing several ter-long great white sharks and treating them as prey is unheard of, even whales couldn’t do it.
The mysterious island, the oversized and fierce fish, and soone saw the sea near the island often had red blood spreading out; Li Yifei asked, "Haven’t you tried detecting it with airplanes?"
"Of course we did, but originally, nothing unusual was found, and the planes sent out can’t inspect close up, which is why we sent people to check, resulting in this situation."
"What about now?"
"Now... planes lose navigation when flying around, so we don’t dare to fly inside; it’s too dangerous. anwhile, current advanced detection ans are ineffective there, as if it disappeared from the world."
"I understand, you can leave now." Li Yifei said lightly after a mont of silence. Wang Yong imdiately widened his eyes, thinking Li Yifei is still unwilling to help.
As it stands now, the military indeed doesn’t have jurisdiction over Li Yifei, and the Flying Hawk Squad, composed of successive squad leaders, reports directly to the highest boss and cannot be commanded by him.
If Li Yifei truly doesn’t want to, Wang Yong’s trip would be in vain.
"I just got ho, I can’t leave right now, anyway missing people won’t make a difference of one or two days, those who should’ve died are long dead." Li Yifei still spoke unhurriedly, giving Wang Yong so hope. This mission isn’t necessarily Li Yifei’s to fulfill, but he’d have a higher chance if he went, since the island’s mystery surpasses ordinary people’s imagination; sending a troop might be ineffective.
Also, that place doesn’t belong to Huaxia, so only a small troop can be dispatched.
Furthermore, Wang Yong didn’t ntion another thing: other countries are also sending people to explore; it’s not just Huaxia that knows about the situation there.
After Wang Yong left, Li Yifei fell into contemplation. His relationship with Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother was good, and both took care of him. Not ntioning anything else, just during the battle with Satan last ti, from Third Brother to Ninth Brother, five people went to back him up. Li Yifei ought to acknowledge this sentint.
After sending Wang Yong away, Li Yifei fell into short contemplation. If it weren’t for Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother’s disappearance, he would definitely not get involved in this matter, but now with them trapped, he must participate out of friendship.
Thinking about it, Li Yifei found a number, dialing twice before the other party answered, it was Third Brother Liu Ming. Once connected, Li Yifei directly asked about the matter, and Liuu Ming directly replied, "This matter is quite peculiar, beyond our understanding, which is why Big Brother and we decided to have you take action."
Phantom Squad currently still has ten people, these ten can be called priceless jewels, if all ten were dispatched together, there’s almost nowhere in the world they couldn’t go. Of course, no more than a few people would act together at most, not swarming out.
Learning it’s a decision by Big Brother and the others, Li Yifei didn’t hesitate further. He learned more from Liuu Ming, and had so clarity in his mind.
"Could it very well be a hidden realm?" Li Yifei repeatedly pondered over this term. This wasn’t the first ti he heard it; way back when Murong Yuanqing and others ca ho, Li Yifei heard this term, it speaks of ancient tis when Great Powers had abilities far surpassing current ones, even beyond imagination. For cultivation, they’d create caves of paradise.
The most direct is the Kunlun Stone Wall, what’s hidden behind it could very well be a cave of paradise, or called a hidden realm. Few know of these realms, possibly lost when owners died, so the older they are, the less known.
This island being so mysterious and eerie could likely be a hidden realm, and Liuu Ming straightforwardly told Li Yifei another possibility — this hidden realm could be where an evil spirit hid long ago, explaining why it’s so eerie, with oversized fierce fish and mysterious creatures.
"Going there, be careful. Big Brother and we are temporarily busy with other tasks, unable to leave, and we can’t trouble senior Murong Yuanqing and others. You’ll have to rely on yourself. Furthermore... I don’t suggest bringing your wife, there’s danger, and personally, I don’t want the sisters-in-law facing such unknown peril." Liuu Ming suddenly beca wordy.
Li Yifei understandingly said, "I know, Third Brother; they won’t be going with ! I will take a look myself, there may not be a solution."
Li Yifei didn’t plan for Jiang Ningxiang or Xu Shanshan to go with him, but at dinner when he ntioned the matter, Xu Shanshan was the first to propose going together. Li Yifei imdiately shook his head, yet Xu Shanshan insisted, saying, "I’ll go with you, we can look after each other, and even if facing danger, it’s better faced together. You used to let
go, why are you now constantly forbidding !"
Can I say it’s because I sense this matter isn’t simple, so I don’t want you also adventuring? Li Yifei glared at Xu Shanshan, seeing Xu Yingying wasn’t opposing and the other won were silent too; Li Yifei leaned back, looking at Xu Shanshan.
"That’s settled, brother-in-law. I will go with you, they will be more assured, saving you from bringing another woman ho." Xu Shanshan, sitting straight, puffed her chest and waved her chopsticks with montum while saying.
Li Yifei imdiately wanted to roll his eyes. All this ti, he only brought back Su Lio, without that kind of relationship; how did it beco... uh, Wu Shuwei counts? Li Yifei paused here, it shouldn’t count; they had so illegal contact but it wasn’t excessive, so contact was even unintentional.
Regardless, Li Yifei couldn’t refuse Xu Shanshan’s request, and that night she packed up, with a backpack and a sword, while Li Yifei just finished bathing, wearing only a towel, walked out to find Xu Shanshan blocking the door. Li Yifei chuckled bitterly and said, "Fine, I’ll bring you, we’ll go together, but we have to sleep first and talk about it tomorrow; I certainly won’t leave at midnight."
"You’ll dare?" Xu Shanshan high-pitched a threat, then leaned in Li Yifei’s ear, whispering, "If you dare, you’ll face my wrath, I guarantee it."
Li Yifei silently embraced Xu Shanshan’s supple waist, clapping her firm rear, saying, "Understood, I’ve said I’ll bring you."
"Hmph, that’s more like it." Xu Shanshan then happily humd a tune, swaggering back, the sword tip slapping her butt, complenting Li Yifei’s earlier action.
Licking his lips, Li Yifei dried himself, put on pajamas, and andered out of the villa, eventually heading towards Na Yi’s place.
Presently, no matter who he might sleep with, it’ll potentially lead to an incident, and the cost of an incident was high, so Li Yifei thought... uh, better to sleep at Na Yi’s, at least handling things won’t worry about Witch punishnts.
andering to Na Yi’s, seeing Li Yifei coming made Na Yi appear delighted, sothing rarely seen, Na Yi a bit flustered, being busy in the kitchen, seemingly making fruit salad. Seeing Li Yifei entering the room, Na Yi nearly dropped the knife.
"Yifei, what brings you here?" Na Yi walked towards the door.
"Make more, bring so over for
too." Li Yifei motioned for Na Yi to continue, while he changed shoes upon entering, noticing the room carried a fragrant scent, full of green, as though in nature, many spots designed by Na Yi for plants, each variety matching well.
It’s very stylish, being there uplifts the mood, many won at ho felt Na Yi’s designs were great, even asking Na Yi to design their villas.
