Disaster Strikes

Chapter 20 Investigator Jack



Instructor Qinghong still came to the classroom on time as before.

After looking around at everyone for a week, she also saw the Du Qingqing whom she had personally thrown out of the classroom. After counting the number of people and confirming that there were 13 people, she said calmly: "Let's go."

Immediately, everyone followed Instructor Qinghong and left the classroom.

In the Starving Ghost Trial at the Disaster Academy in the River of Disaster, one class enters the task portal under the stone tablet every day, so everyone in the square is already used to it.

Qinghong led these 13 people to the square portal.

"Okay, I have entered your numbers into the optical brain system. You will complete the Starving Ghost Trial together in a mission world, and this is the portal for the natural disaster victims in the River of Anguish gathering place to go out to perform missions. It is also the most important place in your future growth.”

She seemed to notice everyone's nervousness.

"Don't worry, just use what you have learned in the academy, go all out to complete the summoner's mission, and grab as many resources as possible in the process. The optical brain data chip will give you the corresponding information. hint."

As she said this, she actually patted everyone on the shoulders to show encouragement.

"You just need to remember not to regard the outside world as a world of disaster. Everything outside is just a mission. Now you can go in."

The light blue vortex of the portal seems to possess a magical power.

After the students in front entered one by one, Chen Mo took a deep breath and took the last step into the portal.

He felt that his body was suddenly enveloped by a strong air current.

Tip: Confirm the identity of the starving ghost student trialist.

Tip: Wait to be summoned.

Tip: Discover the Summoner.

Tip: The optical brain is collecting language data and clothing camouflage data.

Tip: The time and space coordinates are being determined, waiting to cross the time and space barrier, target hive world.

Accompanied by a strong sense of oppression, before Chen Mo could react, he felt as if his body was being stretched into a noodle, followed by a bright blue light, as if traveling through a long time and space tunnel. Then he appeared on the deck of a small boat swaying in the sea.

"here it is?"

The gray night sky, dark clouds obscured the stars and moon.

There was a faint salty smell in the air.

After Chen Mo struggled to stand up from the deck, he stroked the metal fence on the edge of the boat deck, and couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at the small yacht drifting in the sea.

At this moment, he even had the illusion that he had returned to the world he once was.

Others also stood up staggeringly from the deck, showing different emotions such as excitement, confusion, vigilance, worry, etc., and instinctively looked around, observing this foreign world that was completely different from the living environment of the disaster world.

On the deck of the boat, under everyone's feet, there were still some ashes, but they were quickly blown away by the sea breeze.

"Ahem, ahem."

A weak cough brought everyone back to their senses.

This is a young and capable man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing jeans, but at this moment, a large amount of blood is flowing out of his left abdomen, and there are large areas of burns on his body, and he looks like he may fall into coma at any time.

"I am Jack, an international investigator from the Western Continent, responsible for jointly investigating a disappearance case of superpowers and martial artists. On this mysterious island, my companions and I were attacked by unknown forces. My companions were very worried. He may have been killed, and now I can no longer complete the mission.”

Jack paused and coughed up some blood.

"Your mission is to continue to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of superpowers and martial artists on this small island on my behalf, and to hand over the relevant information to other Western Continent international investigators who will arrive here three days later."

At this time, Chen Mo's optical brain data chip also gave corresponding prompts for the task.

Tip: This mission is to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of superpowers and martial arts masters and lasts for three days.

Tip: If the task is completed, 30 natural disaster contribution points will be obtained. If the task fails, 90 natural disaster contribution points will be deducted. Those who do not have enough natural disaster contribution points will be eliminated and recycled.

Every natural disaster victim knows what the elimination and recycling prompted by the optical brain data chip means. In the barren disaster world, the powerful laws of time and space will not let go of any mass, including the bodies of the natural disaster victims.

Chen Mo, Han Xue, Kunai, and Taozi, the four of them stood together naturally.

After getting the relevant task prompts, Chen Mo looked at the three of them, and all three of them nodded, obviously they had also received the relevant prompts.

"Ahem, I am seriously injured now. I must leave here immediately and go back for treatment. I can't stay here any longer. You should leave here as soon as possible and go on your mission."

Following Jack's words, Chen Mo actually received the chip prompt again.

Tip: Please leave the ship within 30 seconds, otherwise the mission will be deemed to have failed and the countdown will begin.

Tip: 30 seconds.

Tip: 29 seconds.

After receiving the prompt from the optical brain data chip, everyone suddenly became panicked and naturally entered a tense rhythm.

"See the island?"

"It's too dark, you can't see anything!"

"Found it, over there!"

Although the sky was very dark, everyone quickly determined the direction of the island.

Roughly speaking, the boat where everyone is now is at least 500 to 600 meters away from the island. Fortunately, there is not much wind and waves here, and the temperature is not low.

Hint: 18 seconds.

Hint: 17 seconds.

Seeing that the countdown in the chip prompt is getting shorter and shorter, the bloody prompt number is like a devil urging their lives. Everyone dared not stay any longer, and jumped down in the chaos and jumped into the sea.

And the countdown on the optical computer data chip ended at the moment Chen Mo left the boat.

The temperature of the sea water is not cold, and it is even a little warm.

The survival instinct makes everyone who jumped into the sea swim towards the coast with all their strength.

As long as the direction is confirmed, Chen Mo feels that with his physical strength, it should not be a big problem to swim to the shore at this distance.

"Help, I can't swim..."

I don't know who is shouting in fear behind, and soon the sea water fills his mouth, leaving only a whimpering sound.

Swimming is one of the basic instincts of almost every natural disaster survivor, just like walking. Almost no one would regard this as a problem, even including the former Stone, because in Stone's memory, one of the favorite entertainments of him, Honey and Monkey when they were young was to go swimming in the River of Distress.

At this time, naturally no one would try to rescue the unlucky guy.

Otherwise, according to common sense, drowning people often try their best to grab the straw, and this place is five or six hundred meters away from the coast, and the result will most likely be that two people will drown together.

Huh, huff.

With a gasp, Chen Mo finally swam to a beach.

The speed of the others was about the same. They waded through the sea water one after another and came to the beach. However, due to different physical strength, some people still had spare strength, while others were exhausted.

The area of ​​this island does not seem to be small.

Deep in the island, there are vegetations. It seems that because it is in the tropics, these vegetations are quite lush, and some of the giant trees are tens of meters high.

After a short rest, the panting gradually stopped and everyone gathered together again.

Because of the darkness, everyone could not identify each other very well, and could only confirm each other after getting close.

"Who didn't catch up?"

It was Lu Yi who asked the question, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Humph, I'm still alive."

In the darkness, the mocking voice of Kunai came, and he certainly knew what Lu Yi was thinking.

"Charcoal, it's Charcoal who can't swim!"

Du Fangyan shouted in horror.

You know, it has always been Charcoal who has been making plans, but I didn't expect that he couldn't swim. He just entered this mission world and drowned in a daze.

What should I do now, my sister and I?

"Keep your voice down!"

Lu Yi lowered his voice and said hysterically: "Didn't you hear Jack say that he was attacked on this island? Do you want to die here? If you want to die, I will kill you myself!"

Du Fangyan was so scared that he covered his mouth. Judging from the other party's hideous expression, it was obviously not a joke.

Du Qingqing, who was at a loss, couldn't help sobbing, but she didn't dare to speak.

"The trial has begun, what do you think?"

A calm voice came, it was Gao Shu.

And the person he asked was Lei Wu, who had almost never talked to the students in the class in the past three months!

But compared with his usual arrogance, Lei Wu had a serious expression at this moment.

And judging from his clothes, he seemed to have put on his equipment, and the small magic wand in his hand exuded a strong energy breath.

"Since it is an investigation, of course we have to go deep into the interior of this island to investigate. Although this task seems to have no clue, it is certain that our next activity space will be limited to the scope of this island. In this way, the external factors we can use will be reduced, but in contrast, the enemy's variables will be much less. This is indeed a very suitable task scene for the Starving Ghost Trial."

Lei Wu's words were actually more than the sum of what Chen Mo had heard him say in the past three months.

Obviously, he is not a quiet person, but he is not interested in the students in the class, or he disdains to communicate with everyone.

"How about we cooperate?"

Gao Shu said confidently: "You should also know the strength of the five of us. If we cooperate, the probability of successfully completing the task will be much greater."

Hearing Gao Shu's persuasion, Kunai showed a nervous look.

The strength of the five-member team is already very strong. If Lei Wu also joins in, once the task can be successfully completed, then I am afraid that he will have to be dealt with next.

However, Lei Wu said lightly: "It depends on the situation!"

Fortunately, Lei Wu did not agree immediately, and Kunai was relieved in his heart, but he couldn't help but be careful.

However, he is not a person who is good at speaking, so he can only worry in his heart.

"Be quiet."

Luye, one of the five adults, seemed to have discovered something. He looked towards the dark bushes deep in the island and said cautiously: "There seems to be movement inside."

Everyone suddenly quieted down.

A pair of eyes stared at the bushes.

Just when everyone was wondering if Luye had heard it wrong, Tiantian reacted immediately and pointed in a certain direction and said, "Over there!"

Everyone immediately went on alert after hearing this.

In the direction pointed by Tiantian, a group of men in black suddenly walked out of the jungle. There were more than a dozen of them, more than Chen Mo and his group.

Although the two sides were still a little far away and could not see each other clearly in the night, it was not difficult to see their hostility from the sharp steps of the group of people.

Then, there was another sound of branches breaking in the bushes.

A guy who was much bigger than the other men in black, a fat man weighing at least 250 kilograms, wearing a black suit that looked quite restrained and seemed to be about to burst at any time, appeared behind the group of men in black.

When the time came, Chen Mo would be lying if he said he was not nervous.

He had already taken out the bronze dagger and made a close combat posture.

At this moment, he was really glad that he had prepared this bronze dagger in advance. Otherwise, in such a place without stones and similar hard objects, the telekinesis could not attach to the attack, and he would have no means of attack. He could only use his bare hands or rely on the E-level skill telekinesis bullet to make a long-range attack every five seconds.

Others also showed some nervousness.

These men in black obviously regarded them as enemies and accomplices of Jack because Jack had already conducted preliminary investigations on the island and even started sabotage.

Of course, they were accomplices.

"Woo woo."

At this time, Du Qingqing could no longer suppress her fear. Her legs softened and she collapsed on the beach, crying.

Du Fangyan, who was standing next to her, was not much better.

His legs kept shaking. He hid behind everyone and even forgot to comfort his sister. His mind was blank and he didn't know what to do.
