Three days later.
It was the last day on Dreamland.
Aoki, who was standing at the edge of Dreamland, successfully received the ship sent by the Rocket Team.
They had already survived on the island for fifteen days and had seen most of the things they needed to see. As for the resources they obtained, the Rocket Team generously gave them all to the winners.
However, something awkward happened. The ship sent by the Rocket Team only received Aoki alone.
That's right, Aoki was the only one who came.
This made the people in charge of the mission feel very awkward.
They thought that even if the danger was great, at least a third of them would be able to make it back. Now, only Aoki was left. What was going on?
The time and place of departure should have been told to everyone before they set foot on the island.
Actually, according to Aoki's understanding, there were only four people left. Regis and Han Song didn't dare to show up for fear of being targeted. Qing Feng didn't want to show up either.
At worst, they could wait until the other members of the Rocket Team set foot on the island and leave with them. They didn't want to meet Aoki.
Not only would it be awkward, but who knew what Aoki would do?
Qing Feng, on the other hand, didn't know. She didn't want to face Regis, who was powerful and had a strong background, or Aoki, who also had a trump card but was abandoned by her.
The person who came to pick up the ship wasn't a big shot, so he didn't dare to ask too much about Qing Mu. After confirming that there was only one person, he drove the small boat towards the Rocket Team's ship outside the barrier.
Aoki was very calm, as if everything was normal.
After arriving at the Rocket Team's ship, the Rocket Team officers stationed on the ship asked Aoki a few questions.
Aoki told them everything he knew about the situation on the island, except for what happened in Dreamland.
As for the other people's questions, Aoki said that he didn't know anything.
Even though the other party didn't believe him, it seemed that Aoki was the only one left alive. They couldn't kill the rest of the people, could they?
He immediately contacted Sakaki.
Aoki once again saw Sakaki's figure in the video, and then he told him what happened on the island again.
Sakaki didn't ask any more questions. He didn't doubt Aoki's description.
He only told the second batch of people to enter the island quickly. If they found any members of the Rocket Team who were still alive on the island, they were to be brought back in time.
Then, he recorded what Aoki said and distributed it to everyone who came to the island in the second batch.
In this second batch of people, in addition to some of Sakaki's subordinates, there were many Platoon Leaders, Platoon Leaders, and various ordinary Rocket Team members.
This was the real goal of the Rocket Team. This was the only way for the Rocket Team to reap the most benefits.
As for those who were still alive, there were some among the younger generation of the Rocket Team in the first batch. They had decent potential and strength. If they could be saved, it would be best to save as many of them as possible.
However, even if they were all sacrificed, Sakaki wouldn't feel the pinch. Given the way the Rocket Team was nurtured, there would be many more with potential to emerge.
What surprised Aoki was that Sakaki didn't ask about Regis and the others.
That was why Aoki decided to abandon the worst-case scenario of Regis being someone close to Sakaki.
He would have to find out more about Regis's identity when he returned. Things were a little confusing right now.
In the end, Sakaki praised Aoki for what he did in Fengyuan. At the same time, he hoped that Aoki would grow up quickly and become an officer of the Rocket Team.
Naturally, one had to be strong enough to become an officer.
After ending the video call, Aoki breathed a sigh of relief. Sakaki's charisma was undeniable. His way of doing things could make anyone submit to him. It was the true style of an ambitious person.
The Rocket Team's rapid growth over the past few years wasn't without reason.
When the officer stationed on the ship saw Sakaki praising Aoki, he remembered that Aoki was the one that Sakaki had taken a fancy to. The news was spreading among the higher-ups of the Rocket Team.
Even though he still maintained his status as an officer, his attitude towards Aoki was slightly better.
He also had someone record everything Aoki said and had someone arrange for a small boat to send Aoki away.
The tedious process wasted Aoki's entire day, but he had no choice but to cooperate.
Now that the matter on Dreamland was finally over, Aoki didn't have much to do with the Rocket Team's future development.
Given their abilities, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to collect a set of Dreamland genes.
However, they would have to go through the attacks of the Divine Rock Pillars and Divine Steel Pillars. That would be far more troublesome for them.
In a few more years, Dreamland should appear. I wonder how strong I will be by then and whether I'll be able to participate in this. Aoki lay in the cabin of the ship that sent him away with his hands behind his head as he pondered.
Given Regis and Han Song's abilities, it wasn't realistic for them to die on Dreamland. However, it would take them some time before they could cause trouble for him. That much time would be enough for him to widen the gap between them.
As for Qing Feng, Aoki didn't have any hatred for her. As long as she didn't involve Aoki, Aoki wouldn't cause trouble for her. After all, she was Athena's subordinate. Although she wasn't the most important one, she wasn't someone the current Aoki could deal with casually.
If he really dealt with her, it would be fine if no one found out. However, it would be a big problem if someone found out.
Perhaps there were still a few people hiding on the island. Aoki didn't think that there wouldn't be a few smart people among the thirty-odd people. However, they didn't have much to do with Aoki.
Regis, Gu Hai, and even Lunda. Unknowingly, Aoki had made many enemies in the Rocket Team.
There were some things he could deal with now, some things he needed to wait for a while, and some things he needed the protection of others to resist.
The pressure was rather great.
Fortunately, the rewards from this trip to Neverland were pretty good.
He managed to trick a quasi-peak Heavenly King Stage Blue Bird and two little fellows. Although the Blue Bird might not listen to Aoki after leaving Dreamland, their friendly relationship was established there. He believed that the Blue Bird would be willing to help Aoki 'a little'.
Then, he managed to subdue an entire tribe of Little Diamond. He also managed to subdue a mutating Little Diamond. He didn't know what it would mutate into in the end.
However, he managed to find food for the two gluttons, Kira and Coco.
Finally, he managed to find some fur stained with Dreamland's blood in the Dreamland Ruins. It helped Aoki almost reach the threshold of becoming an intermediate esper. At the same time, it raised King Dai's aptitude to quasi-blue, giving him a chance to break through to light blue.
Aoki had almost forgotten about Flower Leaf Stem. When he was about to leave, he asked for her opinion. In the end, he brought her along with him and left Dreamland.
Apart from that, he also obtained a large amount of resources from Dreamland. He couldn't count them all, but Aoki estimated that they were worth at least tens of millions of Alliance dollars.
Coupled with the increase in the level of the elves and their increase in strength, Aoki's overall strength increased steadily.
All in all, his harvest this time was quite bountiful.
