That night, Qin Lang and Wu Caiyun set off from An Rong Military Airport. At dawn, they were already in the Southern Sea.
When Qin Lang set off from the port, he saw Hua Xia Country's only 'leviathan' in the distance. This wasn't the first time he saw this one and only aircraft carrier on television and the internet. Even though there was quite a bit of negative information and comments regarding it, many people expressing skepticism towards this aircraft carrier, in Qin Lang's opinion, this was undoubtedly a tremendous advancement in the country's ocean power. It was because according to the information Qin Lang obtained from Dragon Snake, during these past few years, Hua Xia's coastal defense had already improved quite a bit. The most clear characteristic was that Hua Xia's ships could already carry out law enforcement activities far from the coastline. This was something he didn't dare imagine before. Regardless, in Qin Lang's opinion, this was already a type of progress, as well as one of the signs of Hua Xia's military rise.
However, on the other hand, Hua Xia's aircraft carrier could only be considered a type of symbol, a type of deterrence. Right now, there was no way it could become a sharp weapon of war. However, the true war had long erupted, or perhaps it could be said that it had never stopped. These battles were all carried out in the dark, few people knew about them, but they had always existed.
Many people only knew that the golden age enjoyed peace, but they didn't know that this peace was obtained through war and blood. In the past, for the sake of the country's liberation and peace, countless people sacrificed their lives, this was something everyone knew. However, few people knew that after the country was founded, for the sake of maintaining this peace, just how many nameless heroes sacrificed their lives.
The conflicts on the surface already seemed to have disappeared, but the sneak attacks, harassment, and infiltration in the dark had never stopped. It was because every year, there would always be a list of casualties in Dragon Snake's troops. Dragon Snake's troops were active in darkness and dangerous areas to begin with, which was why the dangers they encountered were also unimaginable for other troops.
Meanwhile, this time, even Marquis Wuming encountered an issue, so things seemed a bit more troublesome. In the past, Marquis Wuming had also encountered an issue, accidentally infected with nether poison, but there were always traces to follow. Meanwhile, this time, Marquis Wuming's accident seemed to be too sudden. It was because Marquis Wuming wasn't an ordinary person, falling into the ocean wouldn't cause much of a splash. Marquis Wuming was a Flood Dragon, so even if he fell into the ocean, there should still be giant waves. There was no way he would disappear so suddenly.
Unless, the opponent was too strong!
"Qin Lang, what are you thinking about?" Wu Caiyun couldn't help but ask when she saw Qin Lang frowning.
Besides, on this military speedboat, apart from the pilot, there were only her and Qin Lang. This was because Wu Caiyun did not spread the news of Marquis Wuming's mishap. On one hand, it was to stabilize the morale of the army. On the other hand, she had her own considerations.
"I'm thinking, Mister Wu has been through hundreds of battles in his life, and who knows how many storms he has gone through in his life. What kind of person could make him disappear so suddenly?"
"Are you worried? Or are you afraid? "Wu Caiyun was as direct as ever.
"Of course I'm worried. As for fear, there was a little of it. Even Mr. Wu couldn't do it, so the two of us might not be able to do it, right? "Qin Lang said with a smile.
"Coward!" Wu Caiyun snorted. "You're a soldier, yet you're so timid."
"Are soldiers really fearless? Moreover, in my opinion, everyone should be in awe, and soldiers should be the same. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Since I'm here, I'll find a way to figure out the reason. "Qin Lang knew Wu Caiyun's personality, so he naturally wouldn't be angry with her.
Facing the morning wind, the speedboat cut through the small waves and sailed toward the depths of the vast sea.
It wasn't until an isolated island appeared in Qin Lang's vision that the speed of the speedboat gradually slowed down. Qin Lang didn't need binoculars. He only needed to use his eyesight to clearly see everything on this isolated island. This island wasn't too big, only a few square kilometers. It was covered with coconut trees and other plants, and there weren't any man-made buildings. It seemed to be just a deserted island without resources, but with the current tense situation in Southeast Asia, any island, even a reef, had become a chess piece in the game between countries. On the surface, it was a diplomatic dispute, but in the dark, it was a war of swords. It could be said that every inch of land was covered with blood.
The speedboat slowed down, circled around the island, and docked on the island.
Qin Lang and Wu Caiyun quickly landed on the island. Qin Lang began to use his spiritual power to investigate the surroundings of the island, and even the island's underground. However, Qin Lang didn't find any traces of life, so there shouldn't be anyone else on this deserted island.
"No one," Qin Lang said to Wu Caiyun.
Wu Caiyun's eyes flashed with doubt. She didn't seem to believe that everyone on the entire island had disappeared, so she quickly rushed to the island's secret training base.
The base's entrance was built in a pile of rocks on the deserted island. This pile of rocks and coconut trees formed a natural cover. If it wasn't for someone leading the way, even if someone was lucky enough to come to this island, it would be impossible to discover the existence of the underground base.
After Wu Caiyun opened the entrance with an electronic key, she quickly entered the base. However, as Qin Lang expected, there was no one in this underground base that could accommodate hundreds of people for training!
All of them had disappeared!
It didn't seem like they were abducted, but like they disappeared into thin air. Because there were no signs of fighting at the scene, and the base's equipment was very intact, and the lighting facilities were working normally.
"This … How could this be!"
Wu Caiyun thought that this place was forcibly breached by the enemy, but judging from the traces at the scene, it didn't seem like a battle had taken place here at all.
Although Qin Lang knew that there was no one at the base, he couldn't explain the reason. However, Qin Lang believed in the saying that "people leave a trail, and geese leave a trail." He felt that everything should be traceable.
Wu Caiyun looked up the base's surveillance video, but found that these surveillance videos had been completely automatically erased, and even the data couldn't be recovered at all. It could be seen that the other party was very careful, and their methods were very clever. She knew that to erase these surveillance videos required a very high level of authority, and it was not so easy to forcibly crack the password.
Although Qin Lang had many tricks up his sleeve, he couldn't find any useful clues when encountering such a strange thing in the vast sea. Not only could he not find any useful clues, at this time, Qin Lang was even more confused. "Since the people at the base have disappeared, how could something have happened to Marquis Wuming? Could it be that when Marquis Wuming came here, these people hadn't completely disappeared? "
