Chapter 1399: The Other World (114)
Early the next morning, Pang Xiaonan got up as usual to inhale the aura, and went downstairs to the practice room to practice the iron cloth shirt, and then came to the kitchen to make something to eat.
However, Xiong Junjun had already been busy in the kitchen with an apron, and she didn't sleep all night, so she wanted to cook the last meal for Pang Xiaonan in the morning and send Pang Xiaonan on the last journey.
"Little sister, get up. Pang Xiaonan walked over with a smile, "It's finally the weekend, you don't have to get up so early, I'll just eat something." β
Listening to Pang Xiaonan's tone, he didn't take last night's incident to heart at all.
Xiong Junjun was a little embarrassed, and didn't dare to turn his head to look at Pang Xiaonan's face, but replied with a red face: "Brother, if you sit for a while, you will have something to eat soon." β
After breakfast, Pang Xiaonan went out with the luggage that had been packed yesterday, Xiong Junjun was sent to the gate, and then reluctantly watched Pang Xiaonan hitchhike away, she kept waving to the departing hitchhiker, shouting: "Brother, come back early!"
Pang Xiaonan called Lewis in the car: "Where are you, do you want to pick you up?"
Lewis said on the phone: "I'm already in the Black Mamba, these days in the base the chief instructor arranged for me to familiarize myself with weapons, and I haven't been here yet, anyway, I brought my luggage over." β
"Okay, you wait for me, I'll be there shortly. Pang Xiaonan hung up the phone, leisurely looking at the scenery outside the window, full of expectations for this trip.
When they came to the Black Mamba, the ten-person team was assembled, and the chief instructor, Bei Dajun, began to introduce the specific arrangements for the trip.
The conference room is in a field base in the Black Mamba, and there is a large sand table in the middle, which simulates the general terrain of the Bloss Disk, but the Bloss Disk is replaced by a wooden disk, and there is no topographical information.
Bei Dajun shouted solemnly: "All stand up!"
The ten people sitting around stood up together, and Pang Xiaonan and Lewis in the middle had already changed into black mamba's field combat uniforms, blue camouflage, and looked mighty and handsome.
Bei Dajun looked around and said with majesty: "Gentlemen, this time our mission is codenamed Bloss Exploration, which is listed as the mission with the highest danger level, so next, please listen to every word I say, because every detail will determine the life and death of everyone here!"
"Let me first introduce to you the composition of the entire team, first of all, the one on my left is the military leader of this operation, and also the captain of our ten-person squad, Major Bucton Lin, who was originally retired from our country's special forces, and has won many military merit medals during the army, and is a general with very rich combat experience. β
Everyone's eyes focused on Bucton Lin, a very tall blonde man, a pair of deep blue eyes emitted a majestic light, he said sonorously: "Gentlemen, everyone, I am Buctonlin, this operation, I am fully responsible, I hope you cooperate with me, all actions obey the command, to ensure the smooth completion of this operation." β
Then, Bei Dajun motioned for everyone to sit down, and then he pointed to Pang Xiaonan and said: "This is a student of Dongli Military Academy, the champion of the Dongli Military Academy Mixed Martial Arts Competition, and a middle-level genius boy in martial arts, Pang Xiaonan, he will be responsible for the close safety of this scientific expedition team, and he will be fully responsible for the close protection of all scientists." β
Pang Xiaonan stood up and greeted everyone with a smile, "Hello everyone, I'm Pang Xiaonan, please take care of me." β
Everyone cast different eyes on him, and some were admired, because Bei Dajun introduced him as a student of Dongli Military Academy, and it was a great achievement for a college student to be able to join the Black Mamba, not to mention that Bei Dajun introduced him to the middle level of martial arts, which in the academic world, it is like a ten-year-old young college student, and he is indeed a genius.
But it's more disdainful, after all, Pang Xiaonan is too young, in addition to being able to fight, he basically has no experience in field combat, in a team equipped with advanced weapons, being able to fight is not an advantage, in an unfamiliar environment, the experience of survival in the wild is the most important.
There was a look of contempt in Buctonlin's eyes, but he quickly controlled his performance, and as a commander, he knew that unity was strength in uniting every member of the team.
Bei Dajun looked at Li Wei Si beside Pang Xiaonan again, and continued to introduce: "Li Weisi, the eldest disciple of the Dongyue faction, is also the top three players in the Dongli Military Academy Mixed Martial Arts Competition, and he is also responsible for the close protection of the scientific expedition team, and works with Pang Xiaonan to protect the close safety of every scientist in the scientific expedition team. β
Lewis also stood up and greeted his teammates with a smile, "Hello everyone, I'm Lewis, I'm just here, and I ask for your care in the future." β
At this time, a trace of disdain finally appeared on Bucton Lin's face, what kind of family children, in his eyes are bullshit, this is going to the battlefield, not to worship the dock, in the team of ten people, Pang Xiaonan and Lewis are fresh faces, it is obvious that the two of them have only recently joined the Black Mamba, two recruits who are less than twenty years old, they were sent to perform such a difficult task when they first came, Bucton Lin suspected that both of them had gone through the back door.
Bucton Lin looked at Bei Dajun suspiciously, but Bei Dajun didn't have any expression on his face, Buctonlin secretly scolded in his heart: "Malegobi, two milky boys, were also sent to be led by themselves, it doesn't matter if they die, don't drag down the whole team." β
Bei Dajun also introduced two sniper combinations, one medical officer, one demoman, one communicator and equipment officer, one captain and mechanic, and one combat officer.
Bei Dajun paused and said: "This time, your ten-person team can be said to be the elite of our Black Mamba elite, so I don't want any safety accidents to occur, causing the loss of talent in Black Mamba and your own lives, understand!"
"Understood!" replied in unison.
"Okay, now I'm going to introduce the course of action for this mission. Bei Dajun took out a teaching rod and pointed it on the sand table.
"First of all, we will first set off to the island of Bloss, and after making the necessary supplies on the island, we will set off for the Bloss Circle. This time we are driving a small landing ship, this landing ship, is a retired small destroyer, the power is the original fuel engine, and then the ship is also equipped with sails, dual power drive, to prevent the ship in the Bloss Disc is blocked by electricity, I believe everyone has heard rumors, all modern warships in the Blos Disc can not pass, so this time we have specially for the various situations that will occur, modified this landing ship, to ensure that everyone can the greatest possible landing in the Bloss Disk, or successfully through the Blos Diskγ β
Bei Dajun paused, took a sip of water, and pointed to a corner of Bloss Island with his whip, "We set off from the naval base on Bloss Island, and then enter the disk area in the northwest corner of the Bloss Circle, during this period, the communicator must always maintain information communication with the base, because once we enter the Bloss Circle, all news exchanges will be blocked. β
"Once you enter the Bloss Circle, all operations are under the command of Major Bucton Lin, because the rear can no longer support you, and everything is handled by yourself. Bei Dajun glanced at the audience solemnly, and the atmosphere was a little depressed.
"Okay, next, let me give you a general overview of the expedition team, which is already waiting on the landing ship by the sea. Bei Dajun turned on the projector and connected the notebook.
"The captain of this expedition team is Professor Li Sanming, who is a well-known geologist in China and enjoys a high reputation in the world, and China's geological textbooks are basically from his hands. Bei Dajun pointed to a gray-haired bearded old man in the projection.
"Professor Li Sanming is over 70 years old, and your task is not only to ensure that he is not exposed to external dangers, but also to ensure that he is in good health, medical officer, you have to find out his daily routine, make sure that he takes his medicine on time, and does not risk illness on the way. β
"Yes!" replied the medical officer.
"This is Professor Li Sanming's deputy, and this time he will also follow Professor Li Sanming to the Bloss Circle, in case Professor Li Sanming has an accident on the way, and he will take Professor Li Sanming's place at that time. Bei Dajun pointed to a middle-aged man ******.
"This is a paleontologist, Professor Rita Rita, don't look at her young age, but her discovery of paleontology has shocked the whole world, several papers published in world-renowned journals, has attracted widespread attention from countries around the world, and now she is hot in countries around the world, many countries have said that they want to provide her with unparalleled preferential treatment, as long as she is willing to immigrate to become a citizen. β
Everyone's eyes were attracted by this Oda Lima, this is a fresh and refined face, elegant temperament, about 30 years old, there is a persistent light in his eyes, the apple muscles are very full, and he is very prosperous at a glance. What is the coexistence of wisdom and beauty, this may be the best interpretation.
"This is the oceanographer Totekchaski, who is also a famous figure, and many of the newly discovered marine creatures that you know now were discovered by him, and he took the lead in classifying marine organisms, and most of the so-called compendium families and genera in the textbooks were formulated by him. β
Pang Xiaonan looked over, this is also a very old man, unlike Professor Li Sanming, Totekchaski's hair is still jet black, it may be dyed, but the wrinkles on his face are like a knife and axe, highlighting the traces of time.
"This is a physicist, Professor Cow Peel Kras, this person, I don't say that everyone knows it, you have all studied physics, a lot of contemporary physics knowledge, he told you, because his biggest feature is that he can use the most popular and interesting language, explain many theories of physics, he can be said to be a star among scientists, no entertainment star can be worth more than him, his annual royalties, there are tens of millions of billions, and he often attends many programs, although his current theoretical level may not be as good as some physicists, but we went to the Bloss Disc this time, he was very positiveWe also need such a celebrity who has the power to communicate in the scientific community to promote the future summary of our trip. β
The person Bei Dajun refers to, everyone here is no stranger, Professor Cowhide Klaas, always a smile on his face, although he is fifty or sixty years old, but his mentality is quite young, and the words he says are also unbearable, just like a good friend around you.
Pang Xiaonan secretly said, according to the team configuration of this scientific expedition team, this is the world's most famous scientists gathered together, so this mission is particularly important. If any scientist fails to protect it, it will not be a simple safety accident, and it will cause a lot of chain reactions.
Bei Dajun went on to introduce several scientists, a total of 7 people, covering almost all the famous experts in all disciplines that had to be understood during this trip to the Bloss Disk.
After introducing the team of scientists, Bei Dajun typed a picture of a person, looked around and said: "This is the real boss of our operation, because all the expenses of this trip are provided by the group behind him." β
Everyone looked at the person on the projection, this is a white man in his 30s, with a hard face, brown curly hair showing an aristocratic temperament, a faint stubble on the chin and cheeks, a hooked nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a deep gaze.
"This is the future heir of the Morgan Consortium, Bridgem Morgan, who will be on his way with the team, and he only brings one retinue, so your mission, make sure to ensure his safety. β
Bei Dajun paused, looked around, and said word by word: "I repeat, your first task is to ensure his safety. β
Lewis raised his hand, Bei Dajun's chin raised, signaling him to speak, Lewis stood up and said: "Report to the chief instructor, I want to confirm, is the safety of the scientific expedition team more important, or is his safety more important?"
Bei Dajun looked at Lewis intently, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, "I'll say it one last time, your first priority is to ensure the safety of him, Bridgemorgan, understand?"
Lewis was stunned for a moment, then understood, and replied loudly: "Understood!"
"Do you understand!" Bei Dajun asked loudly, looking around again.
"Understood!" replied in unison.
"Okay, get your gear and go!"
Pang Xiaonan and Lewis followed behind the team, and Lewis and Pang Xiaonan whispered: "It turns out that the main purpose of our mission this time is not to protect scientists, but to protect capitalists. β
"Nonsense," Pang Xiaonan smiled, "There is money to make the devil grind, there are no capitalists, do you think these scientists will be easy to get out of the horse, without capitalists, where do our weapons come from?"
"I don't understand why an heir to this Morgan consortium is said to be the richest mysterious family in the world? "Lewis just doesn't understand the choices of these super-rich second generations.
"The happiness of rich people, you can't imagine," Pang Xiaonan explained, "The happiness we can get with money, they have become commonplace, so we have to find some stimulation, just like you, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but why are you so eager to improve your martial arts, this makes everyone have their own ambitions." β
"Well, you have a point. Lewis nodded, agreeing.
Arriving at the Black Mamba's weapons depot, Bei Dajun said to Pang Xiaonan and Lewis: "You two are in charge of close security, so try to travel lightly, just armed with a pistol and a few grenades." β
"Okay, got it. Pang Xiaonan easily took a favorite M2000 automatic pistol with three magazines.
Lewis chose a silver M9 pistol, also equipped with 3 magazines.
Everyone chose the weapons they had in hand, the most exaggerated was the combat officer Wu Zhen, who picked out no less than a dozen weapons, and wrapped his body tightly, including pistols, machine guns, body armor, grenades, sapper shovels, and sabers...... In short, as long as he can carry the weight, he can't wait to carry as much as possible.
Pang Xiaonan gave him a thumbs up, although it was the first time he had seen Wuzhen, but it could be seen from Wuzhen's national face that this was a reliable man.
Wuzhen sneered, "Don't look at how much I bring, this is all life-saving things at critical times." β
Bei sent the team outside the gate of the base and said to the people: "I am here looking forward to your triumphant return. β
Then one after another, everyone got into a minibus and set off for the port, where the landing ship was waiting.
Arriving at the port, Major Bucton Lin led the group to the landing ship and met the rest of the local expedition team.
Professor Li Sanming, the captain of the scientific expedition team, slowly stepped forward to shake hands with Buktonlin, and said with a smile: "Major Buktonlin, this operation is all up to you, those of us who are engaged in scientific research have no experience in surviving in the wild." Of course, I used to sleep outside when I was younger, but after all, it was in a known area, so it wasn't dangerous. β
Bucton Lin clasped his hands with Professor Li Sanming, and said with a smile: "Professor, don't worry, we will do our best to protect your safety, by the way, let me introduce you, this is Pang Xiaonan and Li Weisi, the two of them will guard you closely, and the rest of us will patrol and answer on the periphery." β
Bucton Lin beckoned Pang Xiaonan and Lewis to Professor Li Sanming's side, Pang Xiaonan politely stretched out his hand, "Hello professor, I'm Pang Xiaonan, this time I will be by your side tightly to ensure that you are not harmed." β
Pang Xiaonan talked and laughed freely, and instantly narrowed the distance between him and the scientists, but in Bucktonlin's view, this is Pang Xiaonan's boasting of Haikou, and there is no dangerous concept of survival in the wild, not to mention that this is an unknown area of the Bloss Disc unknown to mankind.
"Hahaha, young and promising," Professor Li Sanming, although he is old, but listening to the tone and speed of speech, he does not look like an old man at all, and his body is healthy and very talkative, "I heard that the black mambas are all elites, but I didn't expect such a young elite, then our safety can be entrusted to you." β
"No problem. Pang Xiaonan smiled and made a good gesture, and then Lewis also briefly introduced himself, and Professor Li Sanming also expressed his admiration, saying that he was far less good than Lewis when he was young.
At the same time that Pang Xiaonan and Lewis were in contact with the expedition team, Bucton Lin went to meet the real boss of the trip, Bridgemorgan.
Bridgemorgan didn't like to put on a show, he shared a room with the scientists, sitting at the back of the cabin, where he and Rita Lima were chatting and laughing at the scenery outside the window.
"Hello, Bridgemorgan," Buckton Lin held out his right hand to Bridgemorgan, "I'm Buckton Lin, the leader of this operation. β
"Oh, hello, Major Buctonlin," Bridgemorgan said, standing up and shaking hands with Buctonlin, "I've heard of your name for a long time, and when I saw it today, I was sure to be magnificent." β
"You've won the prize. Bucton Lin withdrew his hand.
"I'll leave this operation to you. Bridgemorgan smiled kindly, "Well, we'll have a little welcome luncheon on this ship, and we'll get to know each other when the time comes." β
"Did you take the cook with you to Bloss?" Buchton Lin frowned, thinking that Bridgemorgan thought he was going on vacation, and that one more person on board was one more danger.
"No, no, no, I don't bring a cook, I just bring an entourage," Bridgemorgan patted Bookton Lynn on the shoulder, "I know what I'm going to do, I booked this luncheon at a hotel, they sent me to the boat, and we left after eating." β
"Oh, yes, okay then. Buctonlin turned and left the cabin, where he was going to arrange the living of the crew and the preparations for the departure of the landing ship.
Buchton Lin took the team to their respective rooms, told them to pack their bags, and then went up to the deck for a welcome luncheon hosted by Big Boss Bridgemorgan.
Meals were served on the deck one after another, and although this landing ship was not large, it was more than enough to set a table.
Pang Xiaonan and Lewis stood on the deck and watched the seagulls flying in the sky, blowing gusts of sea breeze, chatting.
"These people don't seem to feel much of danger. Lewis looked back at the expedition team that had gathered on the deck.
It's no wonder, after all, it's their first time participating in a wilderness adventure, and they may still be at the level of knowledge of picnics. Pang Xiaonan crouched on the railing, looking at the blue sea in the distance.
"Are you nervous about your first mission?" Lewis leaned back against the railing and tilted his head to look at Pang Xiaonan.
"What's so nervous, just be yourself, our task is to protect those scientists, they are the most important weapons of the country," Pang Xiaonan said in a low voice, "As for that capitalist, we will protect it by the way when we are free...... Hahaha. β
"Hahaha......" Lewis also smiled.
Pang Xiaonan was not afraid of the Bloss Disk, but excited, because he had experienced the scene of being chased and hunted by demonic beasts, immortals, etc. in another world, could this Bloss Disc be the cultivation holy place of Hallelujah? Or rather, this place could help him return to the previous world.
In short, a series of mysteries of the Bloss Disc are about to appear in front of him, and these mysteries are likely to be related to Pang Xiaonan's crossing, even if they are unrelated, then these mysterious phenomena also make Pang Xiaonan feel excited, compared with the known world, the unknown is the factor that can most stimulate Pang Xiaonan's interest.
It's like Bridgemorgan, everything in the real world makes him feel bored, fame, wealth, women...... Everything is at his fingertips, and once there are no challenges in life, life will be dull and boring. So this trip to Bloss's Disc is actually a curious trip to satisfy BridgeMorgan, who is going to a new world in search of new thrills.
And these scientific expeditions and the Black Mamba armed forces are his companions on his journey, and with these people, his journey will not be lonely, or he can become his right-hand man in the new century.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come here, we're ready to eat!" shouted BridgeMorgan as he stood at the simple table, to his scattered companions.
Soon, a crowd gathered around the table, and all 19 members of the ship were in place.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, looking at the only woman on board, Rita Rima Oda, "this will be our last meal on our way to the Bloss Round...... Oh, don't be nervous, I mean...... The last meal was a more hearty lunch, because we were not in a position to eat such a hearty food on the next trip, so I propose that everyone raise a glass together and wish us a smooth journey this time!"
BridgeMorgan held up the champagne, he thought very thoughtfully, there were more than 20 crystal glasses on the table, these glasses, after eating this meal, it may be difficult to use, maybe they will be buried in the sea, but rich people don't care about these, as long as they play their due role once, it is enough.
BridgeMorgan held a large bottle of champagne in his hand and walked around the table to pour drinks for everyone, his assistant followed behind, and when Bridgemorgan had poured wine for all the expedition members, the assistant took the bottle and poured wine for the Black Mamba's guards one by one.
"Cheers!" Bridgemorgan raised his glass to the sky, and the crowd followed suit, after all, it was the owner's proposal.
"Feel free to eat, you must be full!" After drinking, BridgeMorgan beckoned everyone to eat, the food was very rich, lobster, bread and cheese, caviar, meat buns, fried dumplings, crab roe egg fried rice...... In short, the most high-end ingredients that can be eaten in this world, Bridgemorgan brought it on the boat as much as possible, and he also knew that maybe this would be everyone's last meal.
"Let's get to know each other in between meals!" Bridgemorgan was like the host of this luncheon, controlling the rhythm steadily.
Without waiting for everyone to echo, Bridgemorgan began to introduce himself, "I'll come first, I'm Bridgemorgan, and I'm the initiator of this operation, so here, I'm very grateful to everyone for participating in this event together, Professor Li Sanming, Captain Bookton Lin, I hope we can get along well in the coming days, cooperate happily, and work together to complete this operation successfully." β
Everyone applauded, and then Professor Li Sanming looked at Buktonlin and made a wink, meaning to ask Buktonlin to introduce himself first, and Buktonlin hurriedly humbly said: "You come first, you come first......"
Professor Li Sanming was no longer humble, holding a bun in his hand, and introduced to everyone: " Hello everyone, I'm Li Sanming, they all elected me as the leader of the old man of this expedition, I'm really ashamed, I'd like to thank the Morgan Consortium for their strong support for this Bloss operation, and thank Mr. BridgeMorgan for his trust in us, so that we nerds still have the opportunity to participate in such a high-level scientific expedition, of course, I also want to thank Major Buchton Lin for bringing a group of mighty troops to protect us, I won't say much if you thank you, I wish us a complete success in this operation. β
There was another round of warm applause, and at this time, Buktonlin was still hesitating to introduce himself first, and Professor Li Sanming spoke directly, "Major Buxtonlin, it's your turn." β
Buctonlin glanced around, and no longer shirked, and introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am the commander of this Bloss Disc operation, my name is Buctonlin, all the next actions, please be sure to follow my arrangements, to ensure everyone's safety during the trip, otherwise all the consequences are at your own risk, of course, I guarantee that our Black Mamba will do our best to ensure everyone's safety." β
Bridgemorgan stepped forward and added: "I think everyone has heard of the reputation of the Black Mamba, I would like to add, I believe everyone knows the danger of this operation, we have searched all the security organizations around the world, and in the end only the Black Mamba is willing to take on this mission, so I believe that they are confident in saving the lives of each of us, please follow the commander's arrangement, you know, we are a team, as long as one person does not obey the arrangement, it is possible to make the whole operation fall short." β
Buckton Lin nodded at Bridgemorgan, thanking him for his additional introduction.
Bridgemorgan turned to Professor Li Sanming again, "Professor Li Sanming, can you introduce the members of the expedition team next?" β
Professor Li Sanming did not refuse, so he introduced the other 6 members of the expedition team one by one.
Then Bridgemorgan turned to Buckton Lin again, "Major Buckton Lin, could you please tell us about the members of the Black Mamba Escort this time?" β
Bucton Lin then introduced the members of the Black Mamba one by one.
"Okay, guys, then we've all gotten to know each other, and for the rest of the journey, I hope we can work together happily," Bridgemorgan turned to look at Buckton Lin, "Major Buckton Lin, let's set sail." β
Bucton Lin turned to look at the mechanic and said loudly, "Open the boat!"
So the landing ship, which was carrying 10 Black Mamba elite soldiers, 7 top scientists, 1 richest capitalist, and 1 retinue, headed for Bloss Island after a roar.
After a long journey of four or five days, the landing ship "Flower of Blos" finally arrived at the naval base on Blos Island, and after replenishing the necessary daily necessities, the "Flower of Blos" did not make too many stops and sailed towards the Blos Roundabout.
