Chapter 1291 - 625: Island Village, Hidden Foe
The Abyssal Mouth, Han Xiangman, Zhang Peng, and a group of people enter the island.
The surroundings are pitch black, but fortunately, Wu Ying had already sent Yin Jiumonth to wait outside.
Yin Jiumonth is wearing sunglasses on her face, and she can actually move freely in this dark environment.
Seeing this scene, Han Xiangman was greatly astonished: "What are the sunglasses that this young girl is wearing? Can she see the outside environment clearly here?"
Zhang Peng smiled and said: "Jiumonth is a Dark Attribute Superpower User, she can be said to be like a fish in water at the Abyssal Mouth."
"Moreover, these sunglasses have a significant origin; they are made using Dark Attribute Talisman Stones and can roughly see the contours of outside objects."
"This gadget is designed by our research department, and it’s not yet mass-produced because we worry that other forces might get it."
"Currently, the biggest advantage of the Abyssal Mouth is that with Dark Attribute energy all around, other attribute energies find it difficult to function, and it’s dim on the island, any light will be swallowed by Dark Attribute energy."
"If it weren’t for this, the criminals who occupy Fanshan Island would have charged in long ago."
Following Zhang Peng’s explanation, Han Xiangman realized how magical the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth is.
If not for the special nature of the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth, it might have indeed been occupied by people long ago.
Before long, the group arrived at a Stone Forest.
They saw that the Stone Forest was shrouded in a black Barrier.
Yin Jiumonth stepped forward, and in the darkness, two shadows suddenly stood out.
One of them was short in stature and was precisely Wu Ying.
Standing beside him was his capable assistant, Chen Guangming!
"Zhang Peng! Captain Han?"
Wu Ying greeted them with Chen Guangming, looking astonished upon seeing Han Xiangman.
Han Xiangman smiled and said: "Captain Wu, long time no see."
Wu Ying quickly smiled and said: "Did Mr. Liang have any orders?"
Han Xiangman nodded: "Yes, Mr. Liang asked me to assist you, and to quickly reclaim Fanshan Island."
"We have done our best, Captain Han, Zhang Peng can attest to it, I absolutely didn’t slack off on purpose..." Wu Ying quickly explained.
Everyone thought Mr. Liang was amiable and easy to talk to, but he was the one who followed Mr. Liang out of Meidu Garden from the beginning.
Back in Meidu Garden, Mr. Liang killed quite a few people.
That’s why Wu Ying was always fearful of Liang Yuan.
Han Xiangman quickly said: "Captain Wu, Mr. Liang doesn’t blame you, he knows the pressure here is immense, so he asked me to come over and see if I could lend a hand."
"This isn’t the time to talk about that; I have something important to confirm."
Zhang Peng now spoke up to Wu Ying, explaining Han Xiangman’s earlier speculation.
Upon hearing it, Wu Ying instantly became serious.
He slapped his forehead, lamenting: "I actually never thought about why there are so many Ice Attribute Superpower Users among these people."
"Come with me, it’s just those who escaped from Yang Baoshan are still here."
Saying this, he quickly turned towards the Barrier.
As he activated it, the Barrier promptly opened.
The group stepped onto the snow, making crunching sounds, and entered the Barrier.
Upon entering the Barrier, light immediately appeared before their eyes.
They saw that inside and outside the dark Barrier, it was like two different worlds.
Outside was pitch black, yet inside was as bright as daylight.
Han Xiangman looked over and saw the ground was filled with Mutated Sunflowers.
The entire inner Barrier contained villages, flowing water, small hills, and fields.
It was like a paradise outside of the world, with neat houses and animals kept outside the homes.
Han Xiangman was amazed and asked, "How is there light here?"
Wu Ying smiled and said: "This was Old Ma’s idea; after a field inspection by the construction department, they planned this land and built the Dark Attribute energy Barrier."
"The Barrier isolates the Dark Attribute energy inside and out, preventing outside Dark Attribute energy from dispersing inside."
"Then we found a way to consume all the Dark Attribute energy inside the Barrier, forming a normal space."
"We planted Mutated Sunflowers here to provide a light source and also planted various other plants, gradually developing this small village you see now."
"These villagers, besides our people, many are those relocated from Fanshan Island."
"Additionally, quite a few are Shelter residents hiding in nearby buildings who we rescued."
After Wu Ying took over the Abyssal Mouth, he followed Liang Yuan’s instructions, searching and rescuing humans everywhere to expand the population.
"How many people are here now?"
"Two thousand two hundred and thirty-one people, and they can now achieve self-sufficiency."
"However, many equipment, tools, and weapons are transported from over Yangshan."
"Especially electricity generation equipment and other technological products."
Leading the way, shortly after, a young girl ran up ahead.
"Captain Wu, Captain Zhang, you’re back. Those who escaped from Yang Baoshan want to leave."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ying frowned slightly: "Nie Xin, haven’t you told them? It’s very chaotic outside, Yang Baoshan’s rebels are entrenched at Fanshan Island."
Nie Xin replied helplessly: "I told them, Officer Li has gone to appease them, but it’s no use, they still want to leave, feeling that staying here and waiting isn’t a plan."
Han Xiangman quietly asked Zhang Peng, "Who is this person?"
Zhang Peng said, "She was originally a resident of Fanshan Island. When Mr. Liang first arrived at Fanshan Island, it was she who showed him the way, so after their group moved here, Captain Wu promoted her to squad leader."
"The officer she mentioned, Officer Li, was a policeman before the great flood and later became the leader of Fanshan Island."
"However, he awakened a power-type superpower, which couldn’t keep his subordinates in check; his position wasn’t very stable. Fortunately, he encountered Mr. Liang, otherwise, this group of people on Fanshan Island might have internal conflicts long ago."
"Speaking of which, he also had some nerve. Seeing Mr. Liang’s strong abilities, he straightforwardly gave up his leader position, dissolved the shelter, and followed Mr. Liang to the Dark Abyss Mouth."
"Mr. Liang, remembering his contributions, also made him a squad leader, so now he’s one of us."
Han Xiangman nodded slightly, understanding the situation.
"Captain Wu, please take me to meet those people who came down from Yang Baoshan."
Upon hearing this, Wu Ying nodded immediately and led Han Xiangman toward the village.
Before long, they arrived in front of a tall building at the very center of the village.
This building is the center of the village and also serves as the office for Wu Ying and others.
It is worth mentioning that this building adopts an alternation of light and dark architectural style, not like the sunlit houses on Yangshan where everything is bright and transparent.
This is because Wu Ying, as a dark attribute superpower user, naturally prefers places with shadows.
This office designed in this style makes it convenient for him to come and go freely, appearing and disappearing silently.
From a security perspective, such an environment is undoubtedly more suited for Wu Ying to oversee.
"You all move aside, we really need to go back."
"We don’t know what’s happening on Yang Baoshan now. How long do we have to wait here for you to ask Yangshan for rescue?"
"Yes, Officer Li, we’ve already delivered the message, let us go back. We’d rather die on Yang Baoshan."
"That’s right, please move aside, Officer Li."
Inside the building, intense arguing could be heard.
There were hints of people causing a scene wanting to leave and someone trying to persuade them.
Nie Xin looked helplessly at Wu Ying and said, "Captain Wu, you see."
Wu Ying nodded and said, "Let’s go over and talk to them."
"Captain Han, please."
Everyone followed Wu Ying into the building.
Han Xiangman looked over and saw a strong-built middle-aged man comforting several others inside.
There were both men and women among them, mostly around thirty years old.
The short-haired young man in the center should be the leader.
"Officer Li." Wu Ying called out.
Li Hao quickly turned around, saw Wu Ying, suddenly looked happy, and quickly said, "Captain Wu, you finally came. Please come and persuade Mr. Zhou and the others; they won’t listen to anything I say."
Wu Ying looked at the young man leading the group and said, "Mr. Zhou, the enemies outside have been driven away. You can leave anytime if you want."
Zhou Hui immediately lit up with joy, and quickly asked, "Did you defeat Gu Jianye and his people?"
"Who is Gu Jianye?" Han Xiangman asked.
Wu Ying turned to explain, "He’s the leader of that group from Fanshan Island."
Zhou Hui looked at Han Xiangman, confused, and asked, "Who is this?"
Wu Ying introduced, "I forgot to introduce, Mr. Zhou, this is Han Xiangman, Captain Han, from Yangshan. She is one of the captains of our naval fleet."
Zhou Hui, upon hearing this, immediately showed excitement: "Reinforcements from Yangshan? Miss Han, did Mr. Liang come?"
Han Xiangman slightly shook her head and said, "I’m sorry. Mr. Liang needs to oversee Yangshan to control the Linjiang situation, so he can’t come over for now."
"What? Mr. Liang isn’t here?" Zhou Hui’s expression changed, somewhat disappointed.
Then he asked, "Will Yangshan help us?"
Han Xiangman smiled, "Of course, otherwise, why would I be here?"
Zhou Hui, upon hearing this, showed some happiness, but then quickly worried and asked, "Miss Han, may I boldly ask what your main attribute is at present?"
"It’s not that I don’t trust you, but you might not understand the situation over on Yang Baoshan."
"Our enemies are very strong now; there’s already an enemy with middle-tier genetic map abilities appearing."
"If no one at the genetic recombination level comes, I’m afraid it will be difficult to help us."
Han Xiangman slightly nodded and said, "I understand. May I ask, are your enemies from Beichen Island or other people?"
"Huh? What do you mean? I don’t understand. Our enemy is obviously the bandits from Beichen Island." Zhou Hui asked puzzled.
"Mr. Zhou, do many ice attribute superpower users appear among your enemies from Beichen Island?"
"Yes."
"As far as I know, ice attribute superpower users are rare, a thousand to one. There’s not a lot of them, and ice attribute genetic species are hard to find. How do they have so many ice attribute superpower experts?"
Zhou Hui sighed upon hearing, "It’s all because Beichen Island has allied with Mist City."
"Mist City is a floating island of the ice attribute, where ice attribute genetic species are the least scarce."
"Also, when we set out, the master of Mist City had already made a personal move."
"Although our leader repelled the opponent once, our leader was already injured by that bastard Gu Jianye’s sneak attack."
"This time he managed to break through, advancing the genetic map’s recombination progress a bit to barely hold them off."
"But if this continues, he probably won’t be able to hold on for much longer, which is why Captain Xu sent us to Yangshan for help."
Han Xiangman and Wu Ying, Zhang Peng exchanged a look, each showing a solemn expression.
As expected, behind Beichen Island, Mist City is indeed orchestrating everything!
