Chapter 1898 The Victory Team in Action (4)

"Captain, I think it's better to continue the investigation."

"Based on our current location, we are only one or two kilometers away from the building in the center of the island."

After a moment's thought, Munakata Seiichi decided to continue.

"I understand, but if we encounter danger, we must evacuate as soon as possible, understand?"

Megumi did not argue with Munakata Seiichi about this issue, since Munakata Seiichi had the authority to command on site.

As long as Munakata Seiichi can provide a reasonable explanation, even Captain Megumi cannot forcibly change the action orders made by Munakata Seiichi.

After all, Munakata Seiichi is a professional in this area.

"understand!"

Munakata Seiichi responded immediately.

As the deputy captain and on-site commander, he is also responsible for the safety of his team members.

According to his assessment, the current situation is still under control.

If things truly become unmanageable, he will immediately arrange for his team to retreat, with himself covering the rear.

After briefly synchronizing the situation with Megumi, Munakata Seiichi and the others adjusted their mindset and continued towards their destination.

This time, however, they were not only highly vigilant about their surroundings, but they also paid close attention to what was above and below them.

Although their pace slowed down, any slight movement would not escape the notice of the five of them.

Nanase Rena, who had just been attacked, was especially on high alert to prevent a repeat of the attack.

Despite their cautious approach, the Victory Team was once again attacked by terrifying vines.

However, after making thorough preparations, the GUTS team members did not spend much effort to repel the attack of the terrifying vines, leaving behind a mess of debris before fleeing in panic, as if they knew how formidable the GUTS team was.

Finally, after a period of trekking, the Victory Team members left the dense forest and arrived at the outskirts of the Chinese garden.

At this moment, the white uniforms of the Victory Team were covered with a lot of mud and fallen leaves, and many small branches were also hanging on them.

In short, compared to how they looked before they went into the mountains, they now appear somewhat destitute.

"Headquarters, we have arrived at the outer perimeter of the complex."

After resting for a while, Munakata Seiichi immediately reported to Iruma Megumi.

"Headquarters received."

Nozue Hachisuke immediately responded.

With Munakata Seiichi and his team having completed most of their investigation, the mission was essentially over.

Although we are still far from investigating the entire island, understanding its origins would be enough to complete our investigation.

"We'll be starting to look for an entrance to the building soon. Does headquarters have any suggestions for us?"

Zong Fangcheng glanced at his team members, deciding to recover their strength before continuing their journey.

"Well... I don't have much advice, but I found some myths and legends in the ancient books of the Dragon Kingdom that may be related to the mysterious island we are exploring."

Nozue Hachimi hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"Myths and legends?"

Upon hearing this, Masami Horii immediately asked curiously.

"Yes, it's a myth about Penglai Island, a place where immortals live, and where there's a divine medicine that can make people live forever."

Nozue Hachimi nodded, and then told Munakata Seiichi and the others the information he had gathered.

The group listened to Nozue Hachimitsu's words as if they were just stories, and they were of little help to their subsequent actions.

After all, to say that the island beneath their feet is the Penglai Immortal Island is simply too far-fetched.

Moreover, regardless of whether it is Penglai Island or not, it cannot affect the TPC Far East Headquarters, which is practically next door.

Therefore, after briefly learning about the myths and legends of Penglai Immortal Island in the Dragon Kingdom, Zongfang Chengyi and the others did not ask any further questions.

Next, once the team members have recovered their strength, they will begin exploring the complex of buildings in front of them.

The only thing that concerned Munakata Seiichi was whether there were any "people" living in this complex of buildings.

Tap...tap...tap...tap...

Just as Zongfang Chengyi was deep in thought, looking at the walls of the building complex, a very clear sound of footsteps came from afar.

Upon hearing the commotion, the members of the Victory Team, who were resting and recovering their strength, immediately sprang into action, all taking on alert postures in the direction from which the sound came.

Then, the eyes of the GUTS team members widened slightly, only to see an ordinary human being who seemed perfectly normal.

The newcomer was none other than the Mefilas aliens who had been waiting there for a long time.

The appearance of the Mefilas aliens immediately gave the GUTS team members a strange feeling.

How could someone living on this mysterious island, fraught with danger, be no different from a normal human being?

Or perhaps what we're seeing isn't even a person?

"Halt! Who are you? And what's the deal with this island?"

Thinking of this, Munakata Seiichi immediately ordered the Mefilas aliens to stop and asked them related questions.

Behind Seiichi Munakata, Daigo Madoka quietly turned on his PDI.

In an instant, everything that happened on site was simultaneously transmitted to the headquarters via video.

Soon, realizing that Munakata Seiichi and the others' investigation had entered a critical stage, Iruma Megumi immediately notified Sawai Soichiro and the others.

The alien from Mefilas readily stopped and stood at a distance that would give the Victory Team a sense of security.

Then, he bowed slightly to the Victory Team with a polite demeanor, and said slowly, "Esteemed guests who have come from afar, you must be tired from your journey. You may call me Mefilas, and this island is a time-space island."

The alien from the planet Mefilas was well aware of Daigo Madoka's little tricks, but he didn't care and let Daigo Madoka do whatever he wanted. At the same time, he answered Seiichi Munakata's questions without reservation.

"Mefilas?"

"Time Island?"

Upon hearing the answer from the alien Mefilas, the members of the Victory Team exchanged glances, all somewhat surprised by his response.

This person in front of me is surprisingly easy to communicate with.

"So, what is your purpose in coming to Earth?"

Seeing that Mefilas was so cooperative, Munakata Seiichi immediately asked further questions.

"Purpose? There is no purpose. This island simply detached from the spatial passage and then appeared here."

The Mefilas aliens told the truth.

After all, the future of Time Island is not something a lowly servant like him can decide.

In fact, without clear spacetime coordinates, even Gu Chen couldn't decide where the Time-Space Island would end up.
