Chapter 493: Chapter 301: Main Base, The Starting Point of the Journey of Vengeance
After listening to the commander’s mission briefing, Gu Qiye turned his head and looked at You Ruirui sitting beside him.
"We just got back from Japan, and now we have to go back again." He said with a sigh.
"No choice, it’s an accident-prone area." You Ruirui said calmly, "If I recall correctly, you were at the Tokyo Auction not long ago..."
"Can you not bring up my scars?" Gu Qiye sighed softly.
"Alright." You Ruirui shut up.
"Well, this meeting is adjourned." Chen Xi’s hologram said while organizing papers, "The flight has already been arranged for you. To save time, you’ll be taking the same plane to Osaka, Japan."
"Is it necessary? The urgency even put us on the same plane?" Fan Dongqing shrugged.
"Alright, no complaints, move quickly." Chen Xi said calmly, "My people are also on the plane, I will be directing this mission from start to finish. Fan Dongqing, I hope you don’t act on your own like you did a year ago, violating the rules."
"Got it..." Fan Dongqing drawled, yawned, put his phone in his pocket, and stood up from the table.
The chair scraped against the floor with a screech, he moved towards the elevator, the directional buttons on the panel lit up automatically, glowing yellow in the dark;
Behind Fan Dongqing, Ke Qingzheng, with short black hair, put his right hand in his pocket, adjusted the glasses on his nose, and followed him into the cabin.
The two seemed to be old acquaintances. Whether it was at meetings or after, they were often together, as they both hailed from China.
"I have a question, where did those bees come from?" Urushibara Ryuri propped her chin with her right hand, watching Fan Dongqing and Ke Qingzheng leave, she casually asked Chen Xi.
"Whale Terrarium." Chen Xi’s hologram was sorting through some files.
"Terrarium, so it’s related to the White Crow Travel Brigade again?" Urushibara Ryuri muttered.
"No, the Light-Eating Bees were exiled to the outside world by the Terrarium’s Anecdote Envoy long before the White Crow Travel Brigade invaded." Chen Xi shook her head, explaining.
"I see, that’s what I thought. If they brought the Light-Eating Bees out of the Terrarium, the White Crow Travel Brigade would be even more culpable." Urushibara Ryuri said, "But from what I’ve seen, the brigade’s current lineup is not much weaker than the Light-Eating Bees, yet they were put on hold, the higher-ups really know how to arrange things."
"You also know that this mission is urgent for a special reason." Chen Xi said softly.
Everyone present understood, not only was the danger of the Light-Eating Bees itself not to be underestimated, but there was also a high-ranking individual in Japan who not only died at the hands of the bees but died in a gruesome manner, being eaten alive.
The Japanese authorities were furious, urgently needing a response, which is why the mission was so urgent. However, this was not something to be openly discussed at the meeting, so the commander only stressed how dangerous the Light-Eating Bees were.
"No more questions." Urushibara Ryuri smiled.
"Liuli, you seem quite fixated on the ’White Crow Travel Brigade’? At previous meetings, whenever this bandit group was mentioned, you had a lot to say." Alexandra crossed her arms and looked at her.
The princess’s silver earrings swayed slightly, reflecting light in the darkness. Her amber eyes carried a hint of amusement.
"Do I?" Urushibara Ryuri said, "It’s just that this group is so elusive, I always feel that once they leave Japan, we might never have the chance to find them again. After all, they’ve just made a big haul in the Terrarium, it’s not impossible for them to lay low."
"Didn’t the White Crow Travel Brigade just break a member out of prison?" You Ruirui said expressionlessly, "If they weren’t planning their next move, I don’t see why they would take such a big risk."
Urushibara Ryuri thought for a moment: "What if they simply wanted to rescue an old friend from prison?"
"Do you think a bandit collective values their comrades?" You Ruirui asked, "Based on the White Crow Travel Brigade’s operating model, it can be inferred that members are just replaceable parts for them."
"Makes sense..."
Urushibara Ryuri said, looking at You Ruirui with interest, "I shouldn’t have troubled our ’hero’ on the elevator, causing our emotionless girl to go against me, being opposed every day is unbearable."
"What does this have to do with me?" Gu Qiye looked up, expressionless at her, "That’s just her character, she was simply pointing out the flaw in your logic."
"So you admit to being her ’hero’?" Urushibara Ryuri immediately looked at him.
Gu Qiye was taken aback, and You Ruirui was slightly taken aback too. Then they both looked down quietly.
"Young love, so interesting." The princess turned her head to look at them.
"Ah, the lost youth." Oda Ehgo folded his arms, shaking his head in contemplation.
"Reproductive desires... the essence of humanity." Father of Puppets put his hand in his coat pocket, speaking hoarse words from beneath the bandages.
Esther was yawning repeatedly, her blood-red eyes almost obscured by her black hair.
Jiushijiu, wearing a Russian military uniform, rolled her eyes.
"Alright, let’s go, lovebirds." Urushibara Ryuri said with a smile, looking at the two, "I envy you, each mission like a honeymoon trip. Shouldn’t our little Jiushijiu find a boyfriend too? I think Garfield is perfect, you two little ones make a perfect pair."
With that, she glanced at "Overloader" Garfield, then at "Gunpowder Maiden" Jiushijiu.
