Easter Island was located in the South Pacific, part of the Polynesian archipelago. It had an area of 162 square kilometres and a permanent population of about 5,000.
Speaking of the island, the most famous attraction was the mysterious giant statues.
On the plane, Xue Ba had already shared this information with everyone. There were more than 600 giant statues on the island. They were scattered all over the island. Other than the fact that they were related to some kind of ritual, when they were carved, who carved them, what was their meaning, the meaning of the mysterious symbols and words on the island, these were all mysteries. Normal scholars would not understand them and neither would the researchers from the Supernatural Department.
It was the morning of the second day after Gu Jun's group departed from the island. The representatives from the US and other countries were already on the island.
In a command center set up in a hotel on the island, everyone met. They were all elites, and many of them were even promoted by their own countries as propaganda figures.
For example, the FBM team, Bell Grant, Michael Gibbs, Helen Claire, Holliday Malt and others, there were more than 100 of them.
The number of people from England, Gaul, Ross, and other countries added up to a hundred people.
These were all the frontline Special Mobile Force members, they did not include the ones at the command central or the ones at sea.
However, Phecda only sent 25 frontline members.
"Jun." Bell Grant flashed a toothy grin. "We should've known each other a long time ago. You've all done a great job." Michael Gibbs gave Gu Jun a bear hug. "Good job, buddy." Helen Claire studied him with interest.
They knew the capabilities of Gu Jun's group so they did not underestimate them.
However, there was also the pride of a big brother. The US and FBM never had to look up to Phecda. They were all elites, they had faced supernatural powers and solved supernatural incidents before. Other than not knowing spells and the Ancient Seal, they had never been to the Dreamlands but they had been through a lot.
Gu Jun's group was lucky. They believed they could have done better if they were given that chance.
Now, the White House, the Pentagon, and the Congress were all paying attention to this area. With just a little more time, they would definitely be at the forefront …
"Nice to meet you all," Gu Jun just said. Looking at so many people from different countries in the lobby of the hotel, it was chaotic and noisy.
In fact, he didn't like it very much, because many of these people didn't really know what kind of dangers they would face.
Based on their resumes and his gut feeling, even though they were all elite members of the Special Mobile Force, only a small portion of them had that kind of quality.
That time on another isolated island, Wrangel Island, the scene of a group of Russians falling off a cliff due to an illusion was still vivid in his mind. If Isla Salas y Gomez was really a dangerous place, then Dagon and his Deep Ones were there. Gu Jun did not wish for too many people to die for nothing.
Therefore, Gu Jun got the command center to communicate and suggest that each country reduce their frontline personnel. It would be better for some people to stay on Easter Island.
However, GOA and WMO were not officially established yet. Every country had their own plans. It didn't matter if the frontline was good or bad.
Therefore, Gu Jun's suggestion was naturally rejected by all parties with all kinds of reasons.
"Ah Jun, we should focus on our own things." Xue Ba said with helplessness written all over his square face. "The international situation is too complicated."
"I really don't want people to die." Gu Jun said darkly, "Furthermore, fear and death will only increase the power of darkness."
"I really can't bear to watch this happen." Lou Xiaoning resisted the urge to scold. "Look at these people, some of them think they're at a Boy Scout summer camp."
Even though modern technology was advancing with each passing day, for at least a hundred years, the supernatural forces had not been as active as they were in the past two years. They were so active that they had to be publicized to the public.
The heroes of the past had all become history and legends. There was once a wave of supernatural research that ended in failure a few decades ago.
Because of this, the human organization lacked standing forces, and these people were basically the strongest fighting force they had.
Wu Shiyu's shoulders shrunk when he thought of this …
The international situation was indeed complicated. However, Phecda still did his best. He explained the pros and cons of the situation. Coupled with a clear request, the various countries reduced their personnel. However, there were still 62 people in America's team, the Shearwater Demons. The other countries added up to 85 people. Phecda still had 25 people.
That morning, the 172 people boarded a destroyer. Accompanied by the fleet, they headed to Isla Salas y Gomez 391 kilometers to the northeast.
The salty sea breeze carried a fishy smell. Gu Jun stood on the deck of the ship and looked into the distance. Gradually, a small island appeared in his sight.
It was the easternmost island of the Polynesian Archipelago. Any further east would be the South American continent.
It was a very small island. It was only 1.5 square kilometers in size. The highest point was only 30 meters above sea level. One could see the entire island from one end of the island. There was no forest. There were only 4 types of terrestrial plants on the island. They were all short ferns and sunflowers.
There was no dock. The only man-made structure was a lighthouse. It was painted white with a striking red in the middle. It stood on the black rocks by the beach.
There was only a small patch of flat sand that was suitable for landing. Normally, this was how the Chilean navy landed on the island. Since the shoreline of the island was mostly cliffs and dotted with tidal pools, it was difficult to land on the island by sea.
As the destroyer approached the island, Gu Jun could see more clearly. The black rocks on the shoreline were messy, grey, and jagged …
He felt like he was hallucinating. He had spent most of his time on the ship and plane sleeping so his mental state had recovered quite well. He felt like he was looking at a storm … Was this really an illusion? Or was this his own subconscious wish?
The place where Jack Wales was stranded was right in front of them?
Was Tian Yi's current location there as well?
Actually, before they arrived, the allied fleet had already explored the island. They did not find anything out of place. But this time, it was different. This time, it was for real. They were all prepared to trigger the supernatural power and enter an alternate dimension.
This time, they did not use helicopters to land on the island. Instead, they imitated Jack Wales's method of landing on the island. They sat in many small lifeboats and were fully equipped. Then, they brought their guns, supplies, and so on. They left the fleet and sailed towards the uninhabited island in the raging sea.
