Ye Ling said, “We are just afraid that she hides everything from the world and lies to everyone.”
“Say, what is the purpose of her being so determined to take down Black Rose?” Mu Yuan said. “She must have really gone crazy to do all this just to take revenge on Ghost City.”
“Who knows?” Ye Ling scoffed. Logic did not exist within lunatics.
Xie Jinghuan arrived in a few hours and found a place. It belonged to the US. They went there privately, so they inevitably caused some unnecessary chaos. Mu Yuan immediately wrote a report to apply for a permit.
Their mission this time had support from the military.
Mu Yuan’s report received approval very quickly. One hour later, they also received news of approval for taking off.
Two helicopters and a cruise departed.
The helicopter took about 4 hours to get there. Halfway through, it had to take a rest stop. The cruise had to follow the activities and pace of the helicopter. Throughout this, Xie Jinghuan stayed at the Sandy Island while Mu Yuan and Ye Ling went to investigate personally. After the stop midway, the helicopter continued on its journey.
That was a terrible piece of sea. There was fog all year round, and there was also strong winds. The waters flowed really rapidly, and as the cruise sailed on the sea, it was very dangerous. The helicopter had to cut through the thick layers of clouds, but because of a cyclone, it really tested the skills of the pilot.
Mu Yuan investigated the shape of the land. Last time, Black Rose came here, and they disappeared.
There was no way boats could make it to this piece of land.
Ye Ling was anxious to know about the area of land, but he would also never take risks with the agents’ lives. The helicopter swayed in midair. When it was near the thick fog, a pilot reported to Mu Yuan. “Major, we cannot enter this area.”
Ye Ling said, “We don’t have to enter. Send the firefly drone in, and you guys just have to collect the information.”
Mu Yuan thought of Ye Tingyun’s invention and clapped his hands. He had an idea. He wanted to send more than ten drones in. After they entered, the cruise could not receive any signals. There was a weak signal in the helicopter, and they could finally see the infrastructures inside clearly.
Black Rose received a telegram.
Yang Lihua said, “The false stronghold we have on the sea has been discovered by others. There are a lot of flying drones entering it. Capture some images of it.”
Black Rose took a gulp of coffee. “Place some bait and attract people in. Then, wipe them all out.”
“Yes!”
Yang Lihua retreated. Black Rose looked at the images. The numerous flying drones were swirling around at the top of the island. Due to the weather, they could not capture images of what was outside of the island.
Black Rose said, “Ye Ling, you are seeking death.”
On the island, they placed bait. Due to the weather, the cyclones wiped some of them away when they flew in. In the end, there were only five or six of them who made it in. The images that they captured in the helicopter were rather incomplete.
The patrol said, “Major, there are people on this island, but the images are not clear.”
Suddenly, there was rapid gunshot that struck down the flying drones.
“All the flying drones have been destroyed. Sir, all the flying drones have been destroyed.”
Mu Yuan received it. “Helicopter, retreat. Wait for further instructions.”
“Yes!”
“Ling, there are people in there,” Mu Yuan said. “They have a fort and weapons. This proves that there are people there. Although the images were not clear, some buildings could roughly be seen.”
Ye Ling thought deeply and clenched his fists.
This could be one of Black Rose’s strongholds.
“Retreat at the moment,” Ye Ling said.
Mu Yuan nodded. They were here to investigate today and not to be in combat. They did not have sufficient weapons, and it was not a good time to attack. What’s more, they had no idea about what was going on in there. They had to wait and receive all information before attacking.
