Chapter 159 Target, Gulf of Guinea

Chapter 159 Target, Gulf of Guinea

It seems now that they may not have wanted to kidnap the school director at first, but just because the school director happened to have the same goal as them. This is not good news.

If this matter was caused by other school directors, they probably would not have harmed Elizabeth because it violated the "rules of the game" among powerful people.

But if it is that unknown organization, it is hard to tell. They may not necessarily care about the identity of Elizabeth's school director.

"Have those people obtained that precious alchemy tool?"

This is what Lu Chen is more concerned about. With such a bluffing name, if it falls into the hands of the enemy, it won't bring him trouble, right?

Sebas shook his head, "Not necessarily. The last phone call between the lady and me was very messy. The battle seemed to have happened during the transaction, and those 'pirates' were just latecomers. The seller disappeared afterwards, or he may have run away."

"Understood, no need to send it away. I will go there directly to check after the execution department gets the results."

Lu Chen opened the door, a little embarrassed, "Sorry for damaging your door."

"No need to mind, as long as Commissioner Lu can successfully rescue the lady."

Sebas saluted the boy who walked into the wind and rain, and the only response he received was the roar of the Dodge Tomahawk.

Lu Chen returned to the executive department's temporary base in the manor. After entering the house, Miranla thoughtfully gave him a towel, "Do you need to take a shower and change into new clothes first?"

In order to be quick, he was soaked in water.

"No, is there any result?"

Lu Chen looked inside the room.

"Okay, an unexpected and reasonable place."

Milan pulled back.

Lu Chen was not surprised. Su Lin did not match his external temperament. He was a somewhat indecisive person, and such people usually did not have a strong will.

"Where is it?"

"Gulf of Guinea."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "He is really a pirate."

Combined with Mia's information, they finally locked the target's identity and approximate location, and finally had a clue.

He then said to the two technical specialists who had just woken up and rubbed their heads: "Let Norma re-mobilize the satellite videos from that night, and take out all the remaining videos along the Loire River for comparison and analysis."

According to Mia, the pirate ship was too big to sneak into Nantes silently and leave in a big way. In fact, no one in the harbor seemed to have seen the conspicuous pirate ship entering or leaving the harbor.

Lu Chen didn't know how the ship became invisible, but he didn't believe that something so big could go back and forth without leaving any trace.

Different videos were played in turn on more than a dozen computer screens. Lu Chen took two steps back and scanned, "Fast forward at double speed."

The technical specialist followed his instructions, and all scenes suddenly began to accelerate.

"stop."

Lu Chen raised his hand and pointed at a display screen in the central area, "Here, adjust the speed back to normal, rewind it and let me read it again."

The picture showed the area of ​​the Loire River near the port. There were no ships traveling in the wide Loire River during this time, but Lu Chen noticed something strange.

Miranla frowned slightly, obviously seeing something fishy, ​​"There are ripples in the water."

"It doesn't look like nothing is leaving the port. It is indeed invisible in a sense. The light at night is dim, so the people who checked the video did not pay attention. But even if it is invisible, it does not really disappear."

Lu Chen looked at the water waves on the screen, as if there was something huge swimming on the water.

"According to Mia, there are a lot of graffiti on the ship. It doesn't look like high-tech materials. Moreover, today's optical camouflage technology should not be so developed. This should be the function of Yanling."

Miranla fell into deep thought, "However, there is no word spirit recorded in the academy's records that can achieve a similar invisibility effect on a large scale. Currently, there is only one word spirit known to have a similar invisibility function, Mingzhao."

A technician shook his head and said: "Impossible. The user of Mingzhao can cover a distance of up to five or six meters around himself. Most people can only look after themselves. This is a pirate ship nearly 200 meters long."

Lu Chen looked at the water wave belt on the screen and said, "However, they are not ordinary pirates. There is a so-called half-blood monarch on it."

Of course, ordinary people's shadows do not have such a wide range, but for those hybrids who have exceeded the critical blood limit, it does not seem to be impossible. Moreover, the secret party does not have all the information about the word spirit. This word spirit It may also be Mingzhao's superior speech spirit, which has a wider range of effects.

"Let Norma mobilize satellites to investigate the islands near the Gulf of Guinea, and then mobilize data on pirate groups active there in recent years..."

Lu Chen thought for a while and shook his head, "Forget it, there's no need to check this. Those people won't come out to rob like ordinary pirates. Just look for islands that you have never paid attention to before."

…………

Over the Atlantic coast, a helicopter flies through the clouds.

The strong wind blew the woman's long black slightly curly hair. A pair of dazzling golden eyes looked down at the dark sea. She glanced at the time on her watch with an indifferent expression.

"It appears he failed our test."

A man wearing a tight-fitting black combat uniform sat on a chair. His tall nose, short brown hair, and brown eyes all represented that he was a pure Slav.

At this time, he was holding a popsicle, broke it in half, held the end with the mouth, sucked it, then reached out and handed the other half to Alice, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to express your thoughts?"

"I gave him a chance and he didn't take it."

Alice did not turn around to take the popsicle handed to her by the man. She was still looking at the dark sea, wondering what she was thinking.

"What a ruthless woman. In fact, Setsuna's word spirit has quite a lot of potential. If he can adapt, he may be able to advance to Time Zero. And if the mixed-blood monarch is strong enough, he can use two words at the same time. Spiritual.”

The man commented lightly, seeming to feel pity for Su Lin.

"Haha - you were not prepared to take him with you from the beginning. When a collector already has a collection, he will no longer be interested if he sees similar and inferior ones."

Alice sneered, closed the hatch and sat back down, "Tachibana Shuichi, was he actually given up like that?"

"Then what can I do? Should I rush out to save him? If you weren't there, you wouldn't know that Lu Chen was so scary. My little heart is still pounding."

The man slapped his chest in a funny manner, looking scared, but with a smile on his face, there was no hint of fear.

"The person who adapts is one in a million. I just didn't expect you to be willing to give up on him."

Alice looked out the window. At this time, she had left the thunderstorm area, and the bright moon appeared in front of her eyes again.

"Whether it's one in a million, one in a hundred thousand, or one in a million, as long as he is disobedient, it is of little value. Tachibana Shuichi's death is the greatest value, it can arouse the vigilance of some old guy. Supervise his work progress."

After the man finished speaking, he bit the mouth of the popsicle with his mouth and sucked hard. Under the strong air pressure, the remaining drops of juice in the plastic stick slowly rose into his mouth. The way he sucked was particularly fierce, and it didn't look like he was sucking. Eating popsicles, but greedily sucking human blood, or someone's value.

"I already told you the first time I saw you, the way you sucked on popsicles was disgusting."

Alice looked at the man sitting opposite and commented lightly.

"Do you know why I like eating popsicles?"

The man was not angry. He picked up the remaining half of the popsicle and shook it. "It's not because the popsicle is suitable for sharing, but because of its design and structure. When you eat almost all the popsicles, there will always be residual juice left behind." Inside, it seems that the remaining values ​​are resisting the tyrant. They are unyielding, and it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to completely absorb them."

The man smiled, and his golden eyes were brighter and more powerful than Tachibana Shuichi and Alice. "But I can. Suckling popsicles is like fighting for me, and I can always win in the end. The enemy destroys them all and drains them of all value.”

Alice smiled mockingly, "I just think you're childish."

The man spread his hands and said, "It seems you can't understand the charm of popsicles. We can't be friends."

"I came here to seek power, not to make friends."

Alice and the man looked at each other. Her new blood was far inferior to the man's, but she did not flinch.

…………

In the early morning, after breakfast, Lu Chen stood on the lawn of the manor and stretched.

Miranla walked to Lu Chen and reported: "The results are out. The target island has been locked. It is a small island 170 nautical miles away from the Atlantic Ocean in the Gulf of Guinea. Russian military satellites have photographed the pirate ship. shadow."

Norma was very efficient. With relatively obvious screening clues, she found the pirates' lair in one night.

Lu Chen saw that Miranla looked a little confused, so he knew there was something more to say, "Let's talk."

"The principal and executive director made suggestions to the president, hoping that you can wait for the US military battle group in the North Atlantic to be in place before attacking."

Miranla believed that the suggestions of the principal and the executive minister were reasonable. They were completely unknown to the enemy, and they had already seen the power of the so-called half-blood monarch.

This is by no means a group of rabble. The pirates are just a cover for them. In essence, they are a powerful organization with highly advanced technological capabilities. They have even surpassed the secret party in research breakthroughs on hybrid bloodlines.

The president is very strong, and seems to have a crushing advantage one on one, but they don't know that there are several hybrids as powerful as Tachibana Shuichi on the island, and it is not surprising that there are even stronger ones.

It is undoubtedly an extremely reckless act to rush deep into the enemy camp to attack alone.

"The principal also said that this is just a suggestion."

Lu Chen smiled, not knowing whether to feel happy or what.

Elizabeth is very important, but the principal doesn't want him to take risks, and the old man is not impersonal.

But he had to go. Not to mention how much help the North Atlantic battle group could bring him, he had to keep doubts. Just waiting for them to get in position would take another week. They didn't have that much time.

A week later, those people had already left.

Both sides have basically revealed their cards now, and the other side's purpose is also very clear, which is to see if the S-level members of the secret party dare to go to the meeting alone.

"Yes, this is just a suggestion. The decision-making power lies in the hands of the president. The C130 transport plane arranged by the Executive Department has been parked at the airport and is ready to depart at any time."

Miranla knew that she couldn't persuade the other party on this matter.

"Where's my knife?"

Lu Chen asked about Hei Xuan.

"It's also on the transport plane. After arriving at the destination, the pilot will hover above an altitude of 7,000 meters for three hours. If the president needs it, it can be airdropped at any time, or you can take it directly down."

Lu Chen nodded, and when everything was done, it was time to set off.

Hei Xuan is just a backup. For humanoids, the smaller knife is lighter and has less impact on his agility in moving around.

East longitude: -12.43443 degrees

North latitude: -8.05212 degrees

This is an isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean hanging off the Gulf of Guinea.

Because most of the ridges on the Atlantic Ocean are submerged below 3,000 meters under the sea, and only a few ridges protrude out of the ocean to form islands, islands are rarely seen deep into the ocean.

This oval-shaped island is small in size, with a diameter of only about six kilometers. Because it is close to the equator, coconuts, araucaria, banyan trees, traveler bananas, red palms, ferns and other plants grow on this tropical island, covering more than 80 %.

If you look at it from satellite aerial photography, this is an absolutely natural and uninhabited island. It doesn't look like a gathering place for pirates. There are no people on it.

On the east side of the island is a cliff. Under the cliff, there is a huge cave with a unique sky. There are huge steel pillars and various mechanical work beds on both sides. At this time, a huge pirate ship is parked here. This is a place that cannot be photographed by satellite. berth.

At the end of the cave is a metal door more than twenty meters high, and behind the door is a long metal tunnel.

It is hard to imagine that someone actually dug through this cliff. The vegetation on the surface of the island is just a cover, and the underground is the real space for activities.

This group of people is indeed not pirates. No pirate organization has the financial resources and courage to carry out such a large-scale project, and they are not short of money.

People next to the berth were operating the instruments in an orderly manner, changing the paint of the "pirate ship". This was just a temporary prank of a certain big shot. The ship was usually used to transport daily necessities.

In the base behind the door, there is a fully metal-enclosed room with luxurious interiors, European-style furniture, pure wool carpets, and central air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature here at all times.

A woman wearing hot pants and a white shirt sat elegantly on the sofa, holding a financial magazine in her hand, and a cup of freshly brewed coffee on the small table beside her.

The room was very quiet, except for the sound of her turning the pages of a book. From time to time she picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee to refresh herself.

Elizabeth's situation is far better than outsiders imagine. Just looking at her current treatment, no one would think that she is a prisoner.

She herself didn't feel any panic or anxiety. This was just an accident. Since the other party didn't kill her immediately, it meant that the other party still had some concerns.

She is safe.

temporary.
