"Li San, I've already sent you the GPS coordinates from Xiaofan's phone. That place doesn't have any markings on the map, it might be an unnad island."
anwhile, Li Kuo, who had been constantly monitoring Xiaofan's location, finally confird Xiaofan's position after Xiaofan paused for half an hour. He passed this information on to Li San.
Li San then imdiately found the nautical route on the GPS. If Xiaofan needed support, they would rent a yacht to head over imdiately. Then they would find a return route from the location.
If there were a helicopter, it would be much more convenient. Unfortunately, those are hard to co by. The island is over three hundred nautical miles away, that's quite a distance.
At the temporary hideout, Xiaofan quickly received a ssage from Li San. The ssage was clear: the target location's coordinates were confird. If you need reinforcents, say the word. Even if you don't have to risk your life, when Ye Xiaofan returns triumphant, I'd gladly co to escort you back.
Upon receiving the ssage, Xiaofan suddenly understood why the base was so lax and why there was such a large ard force around the periter.
It's because this island doesn't appear on any maps. Even though Japan discovered it long ago, they haven't shared its existence with the world, using it for secret research operations.
Japan is mainly worried about fishern from other countries approaching, or pirate interference, which is why there's such heavy ard presence around the island. Even if the island is discovered later, Japan can claim they're conducting military exercises there.
"Leng Yue, wait here for . I'm going into the base to check things out."
"I'm going too." Her eyes showed a hint of urgency, her snowy white fingers tightly clutching Xiaofan's sleeve. Her eyes were full of concern.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
"Don't leave alone."
"I definitely won't. I'm just going to see what's inside, and consider how to handle things. I won't act tonight," Xiaofan said calmly.
"Then co back early."
"Right, soon."
Leng Yue knew Xiaofan's actions had to be extrely cautious. If she went along too, it would be easier to be discovered, whereas Xiaofan alone could be more assured.
Although Leng Yue really wanted to be with Xiaofan, she definitely wouldn't act capriciously at a crucial mont. She understands what's most important, thinks clearly...
Taking out a small bottle, Xiaofan poured out four pills, took one, and put the remaining three pills back into the bottle. Then he handed the small bottle to Leng Yue.
"Hmm? What's this for?"
"Hold onto it for ."
"Can't you keep it? There are only these three pills left, they're very important to you."
"Exactly, that's why you need to take good care of it for ."
"Captain, are you planning to act later?" Leng Yue's mind was very sharp. Normally, Xiaofan kept this bottle himself, but now he was handing it to her. Isn't it because during action, movents might be large, and he might drop things from his person?
"I told you, call Xiaofan. Also, I haven't even confird where the things I'm looking for are. If I act now, wouldn't that be alerting the enemy? However, just in case, if I'm discovered during infiltration, acting becos unavoidable. If I drop this, it would be a huge loss. That's why you must take good care of it. Besides, these three pills can extend my life by nine days. I trust you to hold onto them."
"Okay." Hearing this, Leng Yue gently took the small bottle. Whether we're talking about assassins or ordinary won, it's a common flaw; they get carried away with a few sweet words from a man.
Of course, the other person has to be soone dear to her.
"Stay here, don't go anywhere. This place should be a no-man's land, but anything can happen. Don't wander too far unless absolutely necessary. Contact via phone if there's anything."
"Okay."
"I'll head over now."
"Alright."
Xiaofan turned to head towards the base.
But again, Leng Yue gently tugged on his sleeve.
"Hmm?" Xiaofan turned, puzzled, to look at Leng Yue.
At that mont, Leng Yue blushed, eyes slightly downcast, looking sowhat shy...
Such a girlish deanor appearing on Leng Yue caught Xiaofan by surprise. But he quickly grasped her aning.
Stepping closer, he gently lifted Leng Yue's chin and kissed her lightly on her red lips.
Only then did Leng Yue reveal a radiant smile.
"Return soon."
"Alright."
The night grew deeper, around eight-thirty in the evening.
At the mysterious site on Demon Island.
A shadow skimd through the bushes, easily infiltrating the base's interior.
Because Muto had brought in so assassins, there were a few extra guards in the base compared to usual. Previously, they might have been more lax, as the base residents believed that if any outsider approached, the ard forces on the island would trigger an alarm imdiately.
Since Lingze hadn't been here before, Xiaofan asked him to draw a detailed map, but he couldn't.
With no other choice, Xiaofan could only sneak in step by step.
The island is called Demon Island because, as previously ntioned, the research conducted here involves many things that cannot be known to the world, things even forbidden by the United Nations.
The things Xiaofan learned from Lingze include HLY, mutants, data on HLY007, and developnt of powerful missiles, among others.
Most of the buildings in the base are flat-roofed, resembling factories, partly to prevent structures from being too tall and easily spotted.
Unluckily, as soon as he snuck into one room, he unexpectedly stumbled upon the room where Muto was.
Upon entering, Xiaofan imdiately sensed soone was coming in. He urgently leaped out of the window.
Now Xiaofan was highly focused on hiding his Killing Qi, maintaining his breathing and heartbeat at barely perceptible levels.
Muto returned to his room, quietly seated himself, and made himself a pot of tea.
"Senior, the research team has set everything up. They say they're ready to attempt unlocking the data on that mory card at any ti. Do you want to start right now?"
Right now?
Here, Muto didn't respond. Outside the window, Xiaofan was startled. If they imdiately tried using tech personnel to unlock the code Li Kuo embedded in the HLY007 data, wouldn't that force Xiaofan to act imdiately?
