Start a core cabin

The next day, Duanmu Huai looked refreshed, while Mu Geng, who followed him, couldn't even walk steadily, swaying from side to side, looking like he had a hangover.

"Are you okay, Miss Mu Geng?"

Lorena looked at Mu Geng with some concern and asked, while the latter forced a smile.

"Not bad........."

While speaking, Mu Geng instinctively reached out and pressed his lower abdomen. Although it had returned to its previous smoothness at this moment, Mu Geng still remembered the scene of his bulging stomach last night, which seemed to pierce his entire body.

That was really...

"I finally understand why the master is so powerful."

"??? I don't quite understand what you mean, do you need me to treat you?"

"Please!"

When the three walked out of the tent, the work in the camp had already begun. Seeing Duanmu Huai and others appear, everyone greeted them. Professor Serizawa and Yuto Kiba also brought everyone to the table and started a meeting.

Simply put, after locking onto the gorilla yesterday, the Argonauts in the sky had been tracking the latter's whereabouts. And this guy is so big that it is naturally easy to track. So they followed the direction of the gorilla's escape and finally found that the gorilla was hiding in a canyon on the northwest side of Skull Island.

I don't know if it was scared by Duanmu Huai and others, or if it had other ideas, anyway, it is hiding there and looking around, looking quite vigilant.

Not only that, when tracking the gorilla, the Argonauts also made a new discovery, that is, there is a wasteland to the west of the other party's hiding place. There are also two huge skeletons there, which are larger than the gorilla they have found so far.

In other words, this gorilla is likely not yet fully grown, but a sub-adult. Therefore, the headquarters' suggestion is not to alarm the gorilla for the time being, but to go to this area to investigate the two wreckages and take specimens for research. By the way, we will conduct a large-scale search around. If we can't find any clues, it won't be too late to look for the gorilla.

However, the command center has given everyone a difficult problem on how to reach the destination.

First of all, we must not take the transport plane again. On the one hand, the transport plane is too obvious in the sky, and the previous battle also showed that the gorilla has anti-aircraft capabilities. It was blocked by Duanmu Huai before. If it hadn't been blocked, the transport plane would have been directly hit by the tree thrown by the gorilla!

This time we were lucky, but it may not be the case next time. Moreover, the transport plane does not have weapons suitable for dealing with this thing, so everyone can understand it.

Then what about taking a boat upstream along the river?

Well... This time Professor Serizawa did not speak, but played a video shot by a drone.

In the video, the gorilla who was beaten badly came to the nearby river, stretched out his hand to hold up a few sips of water, and then began to clean the wounds on his body. After all, Mu Geng showed no mercy to it. There were several sword marks on its hands and chest. If it weren't for the gorilla's thick skin, it would have been chopped to death.

However, when the gorilla was cleaning its wound, it seemed to find something, then looked around, and then suddenly stretched out its hand to grab the bottom of the river. At the same time, several tentacles suddenly stretched out from it and tightly wrapped the gorilla!

This is a giant octopus!

Then the gorilla and the giant octopus fought in the river. The giant octopus wanted to wrap the gorilla to death, while the gorilla wanted to tear the giant octopus into pieces. In the end, the gorilla was slightly better, tearing the tentacles of the giant octopus apart, then biting the fragments of the octopus's tentacles, and dragging the body away.

"Good guy."

Seeing this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but exclaimed.

"How many octopus balls can be made from such a big octopus?"

"………………………?"

Everyone looked at Duanmu Huai silently, and finally decided not to speak.

Your focus is too strange, we can't stand it.

But this also makes it clear that the water route cannot be taken. It is obvious that there are not only giant gorillas on this island, but also giant water beasts. Who knows if this octopus is one or a group? If it enters the water and is attacked by such a monster, it will be really helpless.

So everyone can only use the most ancient way.

Walk!

As for why they don't take a car, the reason is also very simple. There are dense jungles everywhere, or steep mountains. There is no road to drive, so in the end they can only walk on two legs.

As for equipment and camping equipment, they can be airdropped after they arrive at the destination.

The route has been determined. With the Argo navigation in the air, they just need to walk here.

It's just that Duanmu Huai feels a little bit of a pity. He originally wanted to fish here.

Given the nature of this broken island, even if you catch a grass carp, you can brag about it for the rest of your life!

Unfortunately, for safety reasons, this route planning did not choose to go along the river, but through the dense forest. On the one hand, this can hide the traces of Duanmu Huai and others to the greatest extent and avoid being discovered. Secondly, it can also ensure a certain degree of safety.

Duanmu Huai didn't care about this. They were all using melee weapons anyway. The mercenaries were a little unhappy. Unfortunately, they had no say here. The command center gave them the route, and they could only move forward according to the plan.

So after breakfast, the group packed up and continued on the road.

After entering the forest, Duanmu Huai led the way in front, Lorena was in charge of the back, and Mu Geng stayed in the crowd. Although the others had guns, they were not very useful in this densely vegetated jungle, so they just followed Duanmu Huai while watching the surroundings vigilantly and walked forward along the route.

"Hey............"

Following Duanmu Huai, looking at the power armor on the former, the soldiers couldn't help but show envy. They were all soldiers, so they naturally knew how powerful such a set of power armor was. The coolness was secondary, and the combat effectiveness was the most enviable.

But everyone also knew that Duanmu Huai didn't just rely on combat effectiveness, he was also very courageous. Before, facing the gorilla that was over 100 meters tall, they were afraid that they couldn't even stand steadily, but Duanmu Huai actually dared to fight him face to face!

Apart from anything else, this courage is enough to make people give him a thumbs up!

Advancing in the forest is very physically demanding. For trained soldiers and mercenaries, this is of course nothing. But for researchers like Dr. Serizawa and the Imperial Organization who have never touched the water, it is a matter of life and death.

"Me, let's take a break!"

After only walking for a few hours, these researchers in blue clothes couldn't help but complain. And those soldiers glanced at them with contempt, showing a rather disdainful expression.

"You are so useless. The two girls didn't even complain about being tired, but you are still shouting here."

"Is it okay? That's why I say that you researchers, if you don't exercise well every day, with your physique, you can't even run away if you encounter a monster!"

"……………………"

Hearing the soldiers' ridicule, the researchers also blushed. Although they are researchers, they are also men. In fact, at the beginning, Lorena was going to help them carry those equipment, but was still rejected by the researchers. After all, they are men after all. How can they let such a young-looking little girl help them carry such heavy things?

But they couldn't lift it themselves, so they had to hand it over to the soldiers.

They also repeatedly reminded the soldiers not to bump these things... No wonder the soldiers looked at these difficult old men with a black face.

"Forget it, forget it, take a break."

Dr. Serizawa also took a breath. He was old and not suitable for crossing mountains and ridges. He was also tired and sweating. Hearing Dr. Serizawa's words, everyone immediately felt as if they had been pardoned, and sat down to rest on the spot - and then they were kicked by the soldiers around them.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Idiot! Are you stupid from reading? Just sit on the ground, be careful of being bitten by a poisonous snake or insect! We don't have the time and energy to take care of the wounded!"

"Snake?!"

Hearing this, the researchers were also shocked and jumped up from the ground in a hurry. Seeing this scene, Dr. Serizawa also shook his head helplessly. This is also normal. After all, these researchers usually work in the laboratory and have no experience in field exploration. It is normal to have such negligence.

While looking at the scenery in front of him, Dr. Serizawa sat on a broken log next to him and took a breath.

However, he had just sat down, and saw that the thing under Dr. Serizawa's butt that looked like a rotten broken log actually trembled! Then, it suddenly lifted up!

"Woo wow!"

Dr. Serizawa didn't expect the broken log under his butt to bounce up, and hurriedly got up and backed away. The soldiers quickly raised their guns and aimed at the broken wood.

Only then did they realize that it was not a broken wood at all, but a bug disguised as a broken wood!

Its body was completely shrunk in a shell that looked like a broken wood, motionless, so that everyone thought it was a broken wood.

"This, this, this......"

Looking at the big bug in front of them, everyone's scalp was numb and they all dodged. And the soldiers aimed directly at the bug and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang!!!"

A series of bullets were fired and hit the bug, but the latter was not hurt at all, just tilted his head and looked at everyone without saying a word.

That look seemed to be saying, "That's it? Didn't you eat?"

The soldiers' attack also angered the bug. It turned around, pointed at everyone, and then opened its mouth. But the next moment, Mu Geng flashed by with the magic sword in his hand. The shining sword light was like thunder from the sky, instantly cutting the bug in half from the middle, and the big bug fell to the ground and became a corpse.

"Huh!"

Seeing the bug being killed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, several people looked at the strange-shaped magic sword in Mu Geng's hand curiously. You know, they couldn't even penetrate the monster's skin with bullets just now, but this girl cut it in half with just one sword?

"Thank you."

Professor Serizawa just recovered his breath. You know, he was sitting on this thing just now. Fortunately, it was just a big bug, and it didn't seem to have any other abilities. What if it bit him at that time... Thinking of this, Professor Serizawa trembled for a while, and then expressed his gratitude to Mu Geng.

Then, his expression changed and he looked at the other researchers.

"Collect samples immediately, store and analyze them!"

"Yes."

At this moment, the researchers stopped talking and hurriedly took out their instruments to surround them. Indeed, they didn't have the ability to fight like those soldiers, but collecting samples for analysis and research---well, they are professionals.

Sure enough, professional things still need professionals to do.

Duanmu Huai glanced at the body of the big bug, then retracted his gaze and looked around again. At this time, his personal terminal communication suddenly rang. Duanmu Huai connected the communication, and soon Mary's face appeared in front of him.

"Ah, Mr. Duanmu, sorry to bother you. You are not busy now, are you?"

"Fortunately, we are currently resting on the southern island. What's the matter?"

"Ms. Kumiko has made a decision."

Mary's voice was filled with joy.

"She has just told everyone in the club that she wants to compete face to face with Mayu Kuroe before the next performance."

"Oh? You mean......"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

"She wants to recreate the duel between Kaori Kou and Reina Kosaka in the past, right?"

At that time, Duanmu Huai remembered that the two of them faced each other on the stage. You must know that during the selection, because it was done individually, only the teacher in charge of scoring and the student himself knew what happened in the room. Although this can be regarded as protecting personal privacy from a certain perspective, it also gave time for rumors to ferment.

For example, Reina Kosaka was like this at the beginning. Because she and Taki knew each other before, no one could be sure whether Taki gave her convenience. So Duanmu Huai decided to have a head-on competition with Nakasago Kaori in public, so that everyone could see clearly. In fact, after the duel, no one objected to Kousaka Reina's decision to be a soloist.

Now it seems that Huangqian Kumiko also wants to repeat this scene.

"But it is the one called Kuroe Mayu who is more difficult."

At this point, Mary's voice became much more helpless.

"She really doesn't seem to plan to participate in the competition, and even expressed her willingness to give up... Miss Kumiko is currently trying to persuade her."

"This kind of person is the most troublesome, but since Kumiko has made a decision, let her go."

"Okay, Mr. Duanmu, I will continue to observe."

After the conversation, Duanmu Huai cut off the communication and looked at everyone again. At this moment, the researchers had already collected the samples.

So Duanmu Huai picked up the war hammer and waved his hand.

"Okay, let's continue!"
