Chapter 469: 455, the topographic map was stolen (1)_1
Abel furrowed his brows, a spark lighting up in his mind.
Right, the CEO of JK International—he is the one in power at JK International.
A CEO of a corporation is involved in military operations—what kind of hidden identity did he possess?
A multitude of mysteries filled his heart, but he also knew these were not within his jurisdiction to question. As a soldier, his primary duty was to follow orders.
With this in mind, he concealed the shock in his eyes, inadvertently eting those unfathomable deep eyes, a chilling coldness halting his heart.
He had been through countless missions in the battlefield and never once felt fear, only in front of this man did he taste the will to succumb to soone for the first ti.
Quan Jingwu, truly not simple.
“Abel, let’s sit down and talk.”
Quan Yimo’s voice pulled him back from his thoughts. Abel nodded sternly, and both sat around a long table.
“Adong, distribute the walkie-talkies.” Quan Yimo said.
The man called Adong walked over with a box full of walkie-talkies. On this island with poor signal, it’s more convenient to use walkie-talkies.
“Mr. Yimo, do you have the topographic map of this island?” Qiao Yu looked at Quan Yimo and asked.
With the topographic map, operations would be more convenient.
“This island is too remote, it’s hard to get a topographic map in a short ti.” One of the Falcon Team mbers said.
“Fu Heng, find the owner of the inn.” Quan Jingwu, who had been silent for a long ti, suddenly spoke. His deep and cold voice gave everyone a chill.
Fu Heng lightly nodded, he pulled out his chair and stood up to find the person
“Jingwu, do you think the inn’s owner has the island’s topographic map?” Quan Yimo asked.
Quan Jingwu’s fingertips curled up, lightly tapping the table while saying, “I don’t know.”
In a short while, Fu Heng brought the person in.
Upon seeing the people sitting around the table, a few traces of panic appeared on Mr. Charlie’s wrinkled face.
“Mr. Charlie, we have sothing to ask you, don’t be scared, we won’t harm you.” Fu Heng spoke softly.
Mr. Charlie nodded, his voice hoarse, “Go ahead.”
Fu Heng asked, “Mr. Charlie, do you have a topographic map of this island?”
At the ntion of the topographic map, Mr. Charlie’s face changed, he eagerly shook his head, “No, no, I don’t know about this.”
His overly dramatic reaction startled everyone. Fu Heng glanced at Quan Jingwu. After seeing him nod, he turned back to Mr. Charlie and asked again.
“Mr. Charlie, we are soldiers from China and M Country, here to rescue you. You can completely trust us.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Charlie glanced around at the people in the room with so panic. He hesitated, then started to say, “I…”
Fu Heng gently patted his shoulder to comfort him, “Take your ti, don’t be scared. We will protect you.”
Mr. Charlie cast a suspicious look around. The caution of his movents caught everyone’s eye. Quan Yimo signalled a team mber—two team mbers from the Falcon Team stepped out to guard the door.
“You can speak freely now.” Quan Yimo said.
Mr. Charlie took a deep breath, and slowly began to recount, “You guys are right, I do have a topographic map, but––”
“But what?” Qiao Yu pursued.
“The topographic map was stolen.” The thought of those monstrous people made Mr. Charlie’s frail body shudder.
Upon hearing this, everyone had a shock.
Fu Heng, “Who?”
“This began three months ago.” Mr. Charlie’s face showed a mix of grief and hatred, “Although our town is quite desolate, we had always lived a peaceful life. The people of our island made their living by fishing. Three months ago, a group of n in black suddenly invaded our island, disrupting our peaceful lives. Those monstrous n in black stole the topographic map I had, and they abducted most of the young n in our town. This is why there are so many abandoned children and old people in the town.”
The population of their town was already very sparse, and the young n were the main workforce of each household. When they were abducted, the old people and children in their hos naturally had no one to take care of them and could only eat grass roots.
Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood why they saw so many ragged children and old people when they first entered the town.
Without thinking, they knew that those people must be the targets of their arrest this ti. They just didn’t expect them to have co to this island so early. It seed like they were hidden deeper than they thought.
“Mr. Charlie, does anyone else in the town have a topographic map of the island?” Fu Heng asked.
“No more, the history of this island is too long. Even the topographic map I had was faded and yellowed.” Mr. Charlie wiped the tear from the corner of his eyes and said.
“Did the n in black leave?” Qiao Yu asked.
“I’m not sure about this. Their movents are erratic. They sotis appear on the island for a few days, and then rush off in a hurry.”
“Then where do they usually stay when they co to the island?”
“When they co to the island, they force us all to stay in one room. They usually go out when it gets dark, so we’re not sure what they’re doing on the island.”
Hearing this, everyone realized that the situation seems to have beco more difficult.
“They left just two days before you appeared on this island.” Mr. Charlie added.
“Based on the usual cycle, they probably won’t co to the island again within five days.”
“Alright, we got it. But there’s another thing we want to understand. Have you heard about what they plan to do with the young n they abduct?”
Mr. Charlie shook his head, “I’m not sure about this, but when they stole my topographic map, I once heard them talk about ‘poison.'”
Poison?
Everyone’s heartbeat quickened, they all had an ominous premonition.
“We got it. Thank you for your trouble.” Fu Heng said.
After escorting Mr. Charlie out, the first floor of the building once again fell into silence.
The atmosphere beca sowhat heavy.
