Over the Norwegian Sea, although the sky was clear, the wind was cold.
On the boundless blue sea, there were only thin and sparse white clouds, reflecting and floating.
One night had passed. Yang Cheng, who had been searching all night in all kinds of barren mountains and rivers in Northern Europe, stood in the sea in the morning and stopped silently.
From the Baltic Sea to Stockholm and Oslo in Sweden, and then to Bergen in Norway, there were a total of eight terminals along the way, all of which were erroneous targets confused by the terrorist organizations.
Yang Cheng only found some special military bases in local countries, and there was no secret nuclear test laboratory. If he hadn't come to find it himself, he was afraid that his men would have caused conflict because of the wrong target. At that time, it would be a double loss.
If it weren't for Yang Cheng's strong perception and extremely fast speed, it would have taken him about two days to search thoroughly.
However, it was still too slow!
Yang Cheng took out his mobile phone. The specially modified mobile phone could receive the signal from Sauron and others around the world.
"Sauron, how many more points are there?" Yang Cheng asked.
Sauron, who had not rested all night, immediately replied, "Your Majesty Pluto, north from the Norwegian Sea, there is Wilwick, further west, there are ships going to Iceland, Nuuk in Greenland, and south, there is Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Leipzig in Germany, Marseille in France, Łódź in Poland and so on …"
After listening, Yang Cheng gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it, they deliberately scattered the points. It will take a week to find all these!"
Sauron said, "Your Majesty Pluto, I think we can actually exclude some points, such as France, which is very close to the Mediterranean Sea and has a high population density. It is not suitable for hiding. The probability of them choosing there to conduct nuclear tests is very small. Moreover, relatively speaking, it is easier for our troops to search. They can't take such a risk.
Why don't you go to the west to search, and I will command the people below to search near those Nordic cities? "
Yang Cheng pondered for a moment before rejecting, "No, it's the opposite. We'll search from low latitudes to high latitudes. We'll prioritize searching the cities and areas closer to the Mediterranean Sea."
Sauron was taken aback and said, "Your Excellency, do you think that they are doing the opposite and deliberately making a secret base in a place that we think is impossible?"
"It's not that simple," Yang Cheng analyzed, "I only remembered it after you mentioned it. It was impossible for a laboratory to only be supported by a few scattered people. In order for a group of people to be able to hide for at least two years, the best way was to hide them in the crowd.
Therefore, I believe that the more prosperous an area is, the more suitable it is to establish such a laboratory. Of course, this is only my guess. However, rather than searching around like a headless fly, we can only take a gamble. "
Sauron nodded repeatedly on the other end of the phone. "You're right. I'll immediately mobilize my men to search the south!"
After Yang Cheng hung up the phone, he rushed to the vicinity of Marseille, France. Although suddenly appearing in all kinds of places in broad daylight might scare some people, Yang Cheng couldn't care less.
With his speed, most people would only think that they were hallucinating.
He was still thinking about Sicily. The Caesar Convention should have begun. Also, Christine should have informed the other guys. He just hoped that there would not be any big movements, at least before he went back.
…
At the same time, in the sea area of Palermo City, Sicily, a huge antique Colosseum above the sea was already bustling!
The huge oval-shaped colosseum was completely made of heavy granite stones. It was originally located on a stable territory that extended from the continental shelf, so it could safely bear the weight of the colosseum.
After the renovation of the facilities in the Colosseum, the Mafia had been maintaining it all year round. It was also extremely modern. Except for various ancient Roman-style murals and decorations, everything else was similar to a modern sports field.
Mercenary groups from all over the world, rich people, nobles, as well as important military personnel and politicians of some major countries, had already taken their seats at the venue.
More than 30,000 seats had been filled, and even many ordinary mercenary soldiers could only stand in the aisle.
Except for the elite mercenaries who were going to participate on the first day, the atmosphere of the venue was like a fan gathering to watch a game. The noise of various languages and accents was deafening.
In a VIP room above the Colosseum, Cai Ning and Qiangwei had already taken their seats early. Stern and Alice, who arrived last night, also appeared next to them. Christine, Ron and his son Fidero were carefully serving them.
"Why haven't we started yet? The opening ceremony has been over for almost an hour." Qiangwei was a little anxious.
"Do you want me to play a few more rounds of cards with you to kill time?" Cai Ning teased.
Qiangwei bit her lower lip and couldn't help but puff up her cheeks, "Hmph, you can laugh at me. Didn't I just lose? What's the big deal? Those are professional gamblers. It would be strange if I won."
From last night to this morning, Qiangwei had lost millions of euros, but it didn't affect her mood too much for a woman who didn't care much about money.
"By the way, Miss Christine, oh … should I call you Venus?" Qiangwei looked over hesitantly.
At the side, Christine and Alice were holding a fashion magazine and commenting on the clothes on it. They didn't look like the main gods at all.
Hearing Qiangwei calling her, Christine smiled. The blonde beauty in simple clothes and a smile alone made Qiangwei, who was also a woman, feel a little dazzled.
"Anything is fine, as long as you don't call me Venus in public." Christine winked.
She had been in contact with Qiangwei in Zhonghai before, so she wasn't unfamiliar with her.
Qiangwei nodded, "I just want to ask, do you know who those strange people in white cloaks are? Why haven't you guys reacted? "
Christine pointed to a VIP room opposite. Inside, there were three men sitting in different postures. It was Poseidon in a navy uniform, Hermes and Ares in suits and leather shoes.
These three male Lord Gods weren't too happy to sit in the same room with a few women. However, even if they sat in the same room, the three of them who had known each other for tens of thousands of years actually didn't talk much.
"You see, they are also waiting, and so are we. We can only confirm when we see those people on stage. Besides, Hades is not here, and Athena can't be contacted. None of us are here. If we really meet an old opponent, it won't be easy. "
Hearing Christine's words, Qiangwei became more and more curious about who those strange people were. In her heart, she hoped that Yang Cheng would find Jane and return here soon. There was always an ominous premonition that something would go wrong in this conference.
In the midst of boredom, the host platform of the venue finally issued an announcement, and the first round of the competition was about to begin.
Due to the large number of participating teams, the first day was basically a team elimination. There were six teams on stage at each time. After a two-on-one competition, the winner would enter the second day of the competition.
The Caesar Tournament prohibited killing opponents in the arena, but if "accidental death" or "disability", etc., they would not be disqualified. This had been signed before the competition.
In fact, the mercenaries who dared to participate in the competition, even if they were not 100% sure of winning, had their own ability to escape. It was not easy to deliberately kill them, so in previous years, there were only a few people who died in the arena.
One after another, in the three battle areas in the center of the Colosseum, six participating teams walked out from each side.
To Qiangwei and Cai Ning's slight disappointment, the elite team of the Sea Eagles did not appear in the first round. However, soon the two women's eyes lit up. A guy in a white cloak, alone, faced the five opponents opposite, walked onto the stage.
One against five! It was allowed in the rules, but this was obviously a complete contempt for the opponent!
Whether it was Christine, Stern, Alice, or the three gods in the opposite VIP room, the moment they saw the man in the white cloak, they finally stood up with a serious face!
"It's really them … How did they come back …" Hermes couldn't help but murmur.
"Hehe, isn't this just right? We shouldn't have kept them in the first place. This time, we will get rid of them completely!" Ares was eager to fight.
