The Container
Whale Island is rapidly moving northward.
No one knows where it's going, and no one knows who's controlling it.
Li Tongyun wanted to tell Qing Chen about this as soon as possible, but Qing Chen had changed his appearance, and his phone suddenly lost signal, so she couldn't find Qing Chen at all...
Should we tell Kunlun?
She wasn't sure what the consequences would be if Xiao Zhenji intercepted Whale Island from Kunlun, so in this situation, Bai Zhou still needed to let Qing Chen make the decision.
But how can I find Qing Chen...?
This boss, Bai Zhou, is hiding so well that even his own people can't find him.
Right now.
On Whale Island, a heavy snow began to fall.
The once black rocks were now covered by swirling snow...
In just over an hour, the snow in the square outside the dormitory was already more than a meter high.
The stone slabs in the square are no longer visible; only the arched dome of the Rainbow Bridge of the Anywhere Door can be vaguely seen.
Across from the dormitory area, in the teaching building area, six main teaching buildings and twelve auxiliary teaching buildings were also covered in snow.
Zheng Yuandong stood on the top floor of the tallest main teaching building, which was the central hub of the entire Whale Island, in charge of monitoring, flight control, radio stations, and phased array radar for various areas of the island.
Whale Island is sailing on the sea, just like a ship, and there are many things to pay attention to.
Right there in the command post, Lu Yuan, covered in snow, pushed open the door and said, "Boss, I'm worried about someone working in the inside, so we've blocked all signals on the island to ensure that satellite phones and other communication devices can't contact the outside world. Er Gou went to ask Zard, and this guy was about to have a snowball fight. He said it had nothing to do with him or Huan Yu; they don't have that kind of ability. I think, although Zard is a bit mentally unstable, he rarely lies... so he's still somewhat credible."
Zheng Yuandong pondered for a moment and then asked, "So, how credible do you think Qing Chen's words are?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment, "This kid doesn't tell the truth, so it's really hard to say... Could he be a spy for the Future Organization or the Kingdom Organization? These two North American organizations have connections everywhere over there and are gradually trying to extend their reach to our side. A few days ago, they arrested two of our members in Europe and seven members of Jiuzhou. We don't know where they're being held in secret. Ni Ergou said that among the recent arrivals, there are more than ten suspected members of the Future Organization, and he's keeping them under close surveillance."
Zheng Yuandong pondered, "If it were spies from the Future Organization or the Kingdom Organization who led them to contain Whale Island, that would be the worst-case scenario. But I'm inclined to believe it wasn't them. Although the Future Organization and the Kingdom Organization are domineering and meddlesome, wanting to be the world's police, they don't know much about the Federation's intelligence and shouldn't be able to guess how Whale Island was contained. Moreover, if it were contained by these two organizations, most of the Time Walker on Whale Island would probably already be dead or injured. I think it must be someone with a connection to Whale Island who, on this island, just happened to form a strange connection."
But the strange thing is, who would have any connection with Whale Island?
Zheng Yuandong nodded and closed his eyes in deep thought. He felt that there was a clue in this matter that he had once grasped but which had secretly slipped away.
Interrogating everyone one by one is definitely not an option. If the wizarding system had a truth-revealing spell, he would have used it now, but unfortunately, it doesn't.
Therefore, he wants to analyze it from the source.
Just then, a member of the Kunlun team on the left side of the control tower said, "Boss, the phased array radar has detected a destroyer ahead, overlapping with our current course, about 45 kilometers away. They shouldn't be able to detect us. The target's speed is 40 knots."
Zheng Yuandong's thoughts were interrupted. He opened his eyes and said, "Observe whether this destroyer shows any tendency to change course, and let me know when it enters the last 5 nautical miles."
In the past, he would have taken control of Whale Island to avoid the destroyer immediately.
But now... Whale Island is no longer under his control.
As they drew closer, the control tower relayed the message: "It's a destroyer from the Future Organization."
At this point, both the Future Organization and the Kingdom Organization were no longer content with developing within their own countries. Instead, they purchased military equipment and began to infiltrate other continents.
They are more radical than mercenary groups, and have even assisted forces in overthrowing regimes in two places.
Therefore, to achieve this, naval power is essential.
After observing for a while, Zheng Yuandong finally opened the communication channel and said in English, "Please change your course by 45 degrees to avoid a collision."
At this moment, everyone on the destroyer was stunned, because their radar had not detected anything in front of them, and then the communication appeared out of thin air.
The captain looked at the crew. "Didn't the radar sound any alarms?"
The crew member replied, "Sir, no."
The captain picked up the walkie-talkie. "Has the sonar detected a target? Are there any submarines nearby?"
A voice replied over the radio, "Sir, sonar has not detected the target."
The seclusion of Whale Island is a Forbidden Item rule, unchangeable.
Unless you set foot on Whale Island, you won't even know it exists.
The captain frowned. "What's going on?"
He opened the comms. "Please identify yourself and change course by 45 degrees to avoid a collision. I am the captain of this destroyer. Repeat, change course."
Zheng Yuandong sighed and repeated, "Please change your course by 45 degrees to avoid a collision."
The destroyer captain raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on his lips, "This is the USS California, the First Fleet of the Future Organization. We have two destroyers and four support ships following behind us. I now demand that you change course, or we will take countermeasures to ensure the safety of our fleet."
Zheng Yuandong stood in the control tower, rubbed his temples, and said, "Do whatever you want."
Five minutes later, with a loud bang, the massive Whale Island suddenly appeared before the captain's eyes.
When the captain saw the sudden shadow, he tried to look up at the end of the cliff, only to find how magnificent the towering island was.
The captain and all the crew members in the cockpit looked dazed.
The captain's mouth dropped open. "Holy crap!"
Then Whale Island rolled over them.
It was as easy as an elephant crushing a mouse...
A city called "Whale Island," covering 411 square kilometers, was swept over by a warship without any justification.
This Whale Island, like a terrifying sea fortress, also possesses the Forbidden Item characteristic of being "indestructible".
It was as if a divine kingdom had suddenly descended from the heavens.
In fact, Zheng Yuandong's primary reason for taking in Whale Island was not to establish a school, but rather to deal with the future activities of the Future Organization and the Kingdom Organization at sea...
"I didn't expect to run into the Future Organization so soon," Lu Yuan remarked.
Zheng Yuandong put on his coat. "You and Ni Ergou take men to patrol the coastline and make sure there are no survivors on the California."
"Boss, where are you going?" Lu Yuan asked.
"I'm going to find the new owner of Whale Island and then negotiate a lease agreement..." Zheng Yuandong sighed.
Lu Yuan was stunned; Zheng Yuandong had already guessed who had taken in Whale Island.
However, Whale Island originally belonged to Kunlun, but now that they have finally built a school there, they still have to rent it from someone else.
Where can I go to reason with this?
Li Tongyun sat in her dormitory, her brows furrowed in worry.
The incident where Whale Island crushed the Future Organization's destroyer didn't cause a ripple at all, so the students were unaware of it.
But she knew she couldn't delay any longer; she had to find Qing Chen.
The problem now is not whether she can communicate with Jingūji Maki, but that Jingūji Maki herself cannot navigate Whale Island. This seems to be a very complicated matter, and requires a certain level of nautical knowledge. Xiao Zhenji can't even find the right direction at sea.
"How can I find Brother Qing Chen?!" Li Tongyun pondered for a long time.
Two minutes later, she suddenly looked up, grabbed Xiao Zhenji, and ran away.
Jiang Xue, who was preparing her lesson at her desk, looked up and asked, "Where are you two going?"
"Let's have a snowball fight," Li Tongyun casually made up a lie.
Instead of having a snowball fight, she took Xiao Zhenji to the dormitory entrance and looked at the Anywhere Door that the students had just dug out of the snow.
Li Tongyun vaguely remembered that Uncle Zheng Yuandong said that the teleportation range of this Anywhere Door was one kilometer, and that as long as she thought of her dormitory number, she could return to her dormitory door.
It can't help others cross the closed passageway, meaning it can't get through the dormitory door, so it just stops in front of the door.
But that's not how witchcraft works. When it was discovered, it wasn't meant to be used to get back to the dormitory!
The Anywhere Door is just Anywhere Door; it's just that now everyone uses it as a teleportation portal to their dorm rooms.
Li Tongyun took a deep breath and silently recited in her mind, "Go to Brother Qing Chen's dormitory!"
The next second, Xiao Tongyun pulled Xiao Zhenji across the rainbow bridge and actually arrived at the door of dormitory B313.
She hesitated for a few seconds, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was Hongye Liu Ning. He paused for a moment when he saw the two little girls, then quickly and warmly asked, "Who are you looking for... Wait, aren't you Bai Zhou Li Tongyun?"
Li Tongyun glanced at him and said, "Sorry, you've got the wrong door."
As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Zhenji along and walked towards the corridor stairs.
The two waited at the corner, and ten minutes later, Qing Chen walked over as if nothing had happened.
After turning the corner, Qing Chen asked with a smile, "How did you find me?"
"Anywhere Door," Li Tongyun said proudly, "Isn't it clever? Just silently say 'I want to go to Brother Qing Chen's dormitory,' and I'll be at your door."
Qing Chen was stunned. So the principle of the magic Anywhere Door could actually be used to find people!
Wait, what if he gets into a fight with someone within a kilometer radius, and the other person hides?
Wouldn't that mean I could draw an Anywhere Door to find the other person's whereabouts?
Unfortunately, the range of the Anywhere Door is too small, and the speed of drawing the array is too slow.
By the time he finishes drawing, the enemy might already be long gone.
Qing Chen smiled and asked, "What do you want?"
Li Tongyun whispered, "Brother Qing Chen, our Xiao Zhenji has taken over Whale Island!"
Qing Chen: "... Hiccup?!"
He really didn't expect such a reply; it truly surprised him!
No wonder Whale Island went to Antarctica.
No wonder it suddenly snowed heavily on Whale Island.
"Come with me," Qing Chen said, both amused and exasperated. "So this Whale Island is in Antarctica, it turns out it belongs to Xiao Zhenji."
"Where are we going?" Li Tongyun asked curiously, holding her younger sister's hand.
"Of course we should go find Kunlun," Qing Chen said. "They must be quite anxious after such a big incident."
Li Tongyun thought for a moment and asked, "This island is too important. What if they kill Xiao Zhenji and take back control?"
"Don't worry, Zheng Yuandong isn't that kind of person," Qing Chen said.
"Then can we collect rent from Kunlun?" Li Tongyun asked curiously. "Such a large area, and they desperately need it, we could easily charge them a huge sum... Money is just numbers, we can exchange it for the True Sight Eye!"
Qing Chen smiled and patted her head, "Kunlun built a school on Whale Island to protect everyone. It's a good deed. We accidentally took in Whale Island, so how can we turn around and make such unreasonable demands? Xiao Tongyun, we have a long way to go. Don't go astray."
Li Tongyun seemed to be deep in thought.
At that moment, applause came from the corridor, and Zheng Yuandong appeared, clapping with a smile, "I didn't expect that Boss Qing Chen of Baizhou would still have some principles."
Qing Chen sighed, "My hearing is excellent; how come I didn't hear your footsteps at all?"
Zheng Yuandong laughed and said, "Witchcraft, the Silent Art, isn't it very useful?"
"How long have you been here?" Qing Chen asked.
"I just arrived, and I only just guessed who has the opportunity to take over Whale Island," Zheng Yuandong said, looking at Jingūji Maki. "Putting aside Bai Zhou's other abilities, her ability to collect treasures is truly top-notch. Let's go to another place; I'll teach her how to control Whale Island. Don't let anyone discover her connection to Whale Island, or her true identity will be revealed."
As he spoke, Zheng Yuandong greeted Jingūji Maki with a particularly amiable smile.
Qing Chen quickly pulled Xiao Zhenji behind him. "This is Baizhou's person, don't you dare get any ideas."
"Rest assured."
I didn't write the chapter before 11 PM because I forgot, not because I went to celebrate the holiday... If I update less or take a break, I will explain...
