429: Chapter 311 Response asures 429: Chapter 311 Response asures On the lake surface, the reconnaissance team mbers on two fast boats, after trying all the attacks they had at hand, found that none had any effect on the barrier and thus beca sowhat disheartened and stopped.
anwhile, at the Arican Seventh Fleet Base, a group of commanders were also holding a related eting, discussing the next steps based on the intelligence received from the lakeside.
“Look, this thing is a bit like the shield in sci-fi movies.
I think we should first conduct an investigation.
We can try to infiltrate from different angles instead of simply wasting ammunition here,” said an aide-de-camp.
“No way!
This is definitely the work of aliens; the mysterious appearance of this island must be related to whatever is inside that shield!
It could be aliens invading our world!
We must imdiately notify the authorities back ho, mobilize all military forces, and prepare for an interstellar war!”
A sowhat irate black officer slamd the table.
“Jack, please put away your unrealistic fantasies!
How could aliens possibly exist in this world?
And even if they did, wouldn’t they co from the sky rather than rising from the depths of the Pacific Ocean?
Do you think this is a cha movie?”
A white officer at his side tily launched into a mockery.
“You damn fool, Raleigh, then tell , where did these things co from!?”
The black officer glared back defiantly.
Raleigh glared back.
“Isn’t it obvious?
It’s the work of the North Bear people!”
Listening to his subordinates’ increasingly unreliable argunts, the Commander of the Seventh Fleet, lvin Valencia, knocked on the table and said:
“Quiet down!
We must imdiately dispatch a sail ship to report to our country.
Since we can’t break the barrier there, let’s cease the military assault and carry out other probing plans.
As for the specific response, we will await instructions from back ho.”
“You’ve also seen that everything on the island is far more difficult than we thought, and there must be room for flexibility in anything we do.
You can’t even finish installing a radar on ti, and I believe you all understand the resistance we’re facing.”
“Therefore, in order to prevent certain unpredictable outcos, we must remain cautious.
Rember, until then, no rash actions should be taken, and the news must not be leaked!
I have a feeling there is a great secret inside this shield!
If we seize this opportunity, we can definitely stay ahead of other countries in exploring this island!”
…
After about a half-hour of exploratory attacks on Seven-star Lake, the Sea Lion Team found no effect and then turned back.
Zhang Xiaoman activated a gap in the shield from another direction, ca to the campsite above while cloaked, and recorded so of their information.
He then ordered Star Rank to keep an eye on the situation here before he left in the Dawn.
Now, the developnt of the Star Alliance had finally reached this stage, making contact with other forces.
Zhang Xiaoman believed that one day the Star Alliance would truly be made known to the world, but before that, he needed to survive and keep developing.
However, with the countries getting increasingly closer, the Star Alliance had inevitably co into the view of others.
For now, it was just Arica that had discovered the shield, but what else others would find out, even he could not guarantee.
Zhang Xiaoman felt that the pace of his developnt seed to beco tense at this mont; he had to enhance his strength as quickly as possible while preparing for other unexpected situations.
Ti swiftly reached the afternoon of the 30th.
In the past three days, the Seventh Fleet had been delayed in dispatching sail ships through the Gate of Hell due to the lengthy round trip, so they had not yet received any specific ssages from dostic sources.
Zhang Xiaoman had not relaxed his guard against them, but he noticed that after the previous attack, these people had not made any moves again, instead using a myriad of other probing thods.
thods like underwater and high-altitude traversal had all been tried by them to no avail.
This matter seed to be kept secret by Arica as well, with no similar incidences occurring in other directions save for the northeast corner of Seven-star Lake.
Only in the southwest direction had a team appeared.
They camped by the lake for a night, and then left the next day without any intention to explore towards the center of the lake.
Zhang Xiaoman did not know which country’s scouting team these people were from, and since they had already left, he did not pay them much further attention.
Now, he was checking the construction progress of the craftsn group.
With the help of the World Tree, their progress was incredibly rapid.
In less than half a month, they had completely restored the hall of Inheritance Land, and the reinforcent of the walls below was also nearly finished.
Now, the interior of Inheritance Land no longer felt like being in a cave.
Upon entering, one was t with an archaic hall, with the Star Alliance’s banners hanging on Stone Pillars on both sides.
It wasn’t opulent, but the decorations, elegant and suffused with an air of historical vicissitudes, invoked a sense of solemnity as well as awe and amazent.
Unlike Inheritance Land, the underground architectural structure was completely different in style.
Through the newly-built ancient door, there was a corridor leading to the underground residential area, whose walls had been whitewashed after reinforcent.
Even in its rudintary state, it exuded an aura of modern technology.
The underground rooms were also finished, and although they were still quite basic, they were surely better than living in tents, right?
The most important point was that the drainage system was completed, finally freeing everyone from the miserable life of using chamber pots.
Regarding this, Zhang Xiaoman was very satisfied.
The base had undergone significant changes, moving toward the kind of underground structure he envisioned, and those few people indeed did not disappoint him.
However, this ant that the ten thousand cubic ters of Crystal Gel he had previously stored here was now a bit insufficient, forcing him to spend another portion of Star Dust to exchange for a set of materials.
At the mont, Zhang Xiaoman was visiting his temporary room, which, although small, had all the essentials: a bed, a desk, a fridge, a computer, a TV, and even a small personal cooking station.
All of these were arranged by the craftsn group, and every temporary room there had a complete set of these anities.
Of course, the TV and computer had no internet connection and could only be used to play single-player gas.
Just as Zhang Xiaoman was about to lie down on the single bed for a short rest, his wristwatch suddenly rang.
He opened it to see that it was a call from Brother Hero.
“Brother Man!
Sothing terrible has happened!
I’m outside Rebirth Island right now, there’s been an incident!
You better co over quickly and have a look!”
