When the monsters saw Zhang Heng leaving the dome, their expressions suddenly became anxious, and they quickly followed him. It seemed like they wanted to catch Zhang Heng again.
But Zhang Heng was no longer the same as when he was dragged into the sea.
Although Zhang Heng's swimming speed was still not as fast as these half-man, half-fish frog monsters, he was much faster than before. And Zhang Heng could also control the sea current. Not only could he speed up or stop the pursuers behind him, but he could also roll up the sand on the seabed and muddy the seawater.
Speaking of which, Zhang Heng was inspired by the "red tide" created by these half-man, half-fish frog monsters.
With the Filter Lens in hand, Zhang Heng could always gain the upper hand in such a chaotic situation.
However, when Zhang Heng passed through the layers of monsters and returned to the sea, he found that it was already dark outside.
Zhang Heng was a little surprised. He did not have time to check the time when he was at the bottom of the sea.
However, from Zhang Heng's perspective, he felt that only a short period of time had passed since he fell to the bottom of the sea and began to lack of oxygen. Zhang Heng did not expect that so much time had passed.
At the dome of the underwater palace, he seemed to have completely lost the concept of time.
After that, Zhang Heng looked at the starfish in his hand and found that it was already past ten o 'clock at night.
At this time, the ship that sent him here was long gone.
There was still quite a distance between this place and the island. If it were any other time, even if Zhang Heng could barely swim back, he would probably be exhausted. Not to mention that he had to get rid of those small fries behind him. The sea was now very stormy, and swimming was impossible.
But now, Zhang Heng could dive to the bottom of the sea again and use the sea current to send him back.
There were a lot of half-man, half-fish frog monsters, but they were in their lair. Once Zhang Heng left the undersea tunnel, it would be difficult for them to surround him in the vast sea.
Therefore, it did not take Zhang Heng too long to return to Yonaguni Island.
Zhang Heng and those half-man, half-fish frog monsters were old friends. They had fought against each other in the hazy seaside town, and Zhang Heng had a preliminary understanding of these monsters.
And the stone inscriptions he saw this time also recorded a lot of history related to them.
Zhang Heng knew that these half-human, half-frogfish monsters liked to tempt nearby humans. After so many years, tourists who visited Yonaguni Island did not find any clues. Zhang Heng would never believe that there were no spies on Yonaguni Island.
However, Zhang Heng initially suspected the fishermen on the island because fishing was the economic pillar of Yonaguni Island. Most of the men on the island were fishermen. In order to support their families, Zhang Heng would not be surprised if they traded with the half-human, half-frogfish monsters in exchange for abundant fishing resources.
The fact that Yonaguni Island had the second-largest marlin fishing ground in the world seemed to prove this.
Therefore, Zhang Heng did not stop the storm after he arrived on the island. On the contrary, he made it rain heavily to cover his tracks and avoid being discovered by the fishermen on the island.
In such bad weather, coupled with his stealth skills, no one would notice him.
However, when he arrived at the hotel where he stayed, he soon found someone monitoring Han Lu downstairs.
And judging from the behavior and the equipment they used, it was obvious that they had a military background. Zhang Heng knew that there was a base of the Self-Defense Forces on Yonaguni Island, but it was said that the soldiers there had always been very low-key, and they rarely interacted with the residents on the island.
Therefore, Zhang Heng did not think of them before.
But now, it seemed that they were the spies of the monsters on the island. Due to the restricted nature of the military base, even if some of them had undergone some changes in their appearance, it was not easy for them to be discovered. This might also be the reason why they rarely interacted with the natives on the island. Just like the self-enclosed seaside town, they were the party with overwhelming strength and could better protect the underground palace.
Zhang Heng put himself in Han Lu's shoes, guessing that the latter must have gone to the island's Self-Defense Forces after he was dragged into the water by those monsters. That was because the Self-Defense Forces were the closest people that Han Lu could find to help her.
But in this way, she had put herself in the crosshairs. In order to prevent the situation from escalating, the Self-Defense Forces might not do anything to her for the time being.
However, once the news of Zhang Heng's escape spread, Han Lu was likely to be in danger immediately.
Zhang Heng estimated that when he arrived on the island, the half-man, half-frogfish monsters had already found their spies on the island and asked them to capture him. So, Zhang Heng did not continue to stay downstairs. He borrowed a raincoat from a nearby house, knocked out the guy who was in charge of monitoring him at the hotel's side door, slipped into the hotel, bypassed the front desk, and went to the floor where Han Lu was.
Then, Zhang Heng met the guy who taped the peephole in the corridor.
With Zhang Heng's current Level 3 assassin skills, it was a piece of cake to deal with such a guy.
Even when Zhang Heng walked behind the guy, the guy still didn't notice him. He held a knife in one hand and inserted the key he got from the front desk into the door lock with the other, waiting to surprise Han Lu. Zhang Heng did not forget that he was in the real world now. Just like the Self-Defense Forces, he didn't want to make things worse.
So, he used the stone to knock the person outside the door unconscious. After that, he knocked on the door, and seeing that Han Lu did not open the door, he turned the key on the door, picked up a knife, and broke into the house.
So, this was what Han Lu saw.
…
Zhang Heng walked downstairs with Han Lu, but at this time, he heard footsteps coming from below the stairs.
Zhang Heng guessed that the people who were monitoring Han Lu had noticed that they had lost contact with two of their companions. Seeing that, Zhang Heng had no intention of retreating. There were a lot of Self-Defense Forces here, and it would be disadvantageous for them to drag this on.
Once the guy downstairs called more people to surround them, it would be even more difficult to break out of the encirclement.
Zhang Heng asked Han Lu to lean against the wall on his left and wait for a while. He pricked up his ears to listen to the footsteps below, silently calculating the number of people downstairs and the distance between them. When the men were about to climb up the stairs, Zhang Heng dashed forward and kicked away one of the men's weapons. By the time the other man reacted, Zhang Heng had already taken down his companion.
The battle that followed became much easier.
Initially, the guy thought that he had received professional training, so he didn't take Zhang Heng seriously. He thought that his companion was at a disadvantage because of Zhang Heng's sneak attack. However, when the fight started, he realized that he was defeated faster than his companion.
He didn't even see what Zhang Heng did before a knife appeared under his neck.
