Chapter 40: Sky Island?

The next day, Earl Kidd took advantage of the Eagle King's young and beautiful junior to go to the bathroom alone, and easily returned the 5-carat diamond ring from the finger of the woman who loved it. When he took it down, he still muttered, "I don't know how many people have fought to the death for these stones that can neither be eaten nor drunk." It seems that these people's brains have really been washed by TV commercials, hey! ”

Madame Eagle King is really a trustworthy person, and after she got the diamond ring in the café, she immediately explained that the empty island was located in the desert village of Jisuuri, which was rarely inhabited. Mike, on the other side, was in the locker in the stadium and finally waited for the new joint method left for him by the deputy patriarch of the Wing Clan. He went to meet the deputy patriarch and exchanged messages with him. It turned out that the people sent by Weidmann were followed by the people who secretly protected the Eagle King Xiaosan. They can only abandon their previous stronghold. But when Mike told the other party what he had done, they were even unexpectedly skeptical. But all of that vanished when Jessica placed the crystal skull belonging to the Eagle King in front of their eyes. Soon they sent a special forces team led by the Wing Clan Patriarch - Tyrese and the second team leader Brie himself led by the captain of the second team Brie and Mike to the hostage town of Gissouri in Apache together. This time, due to the extreme danger, Jessica settled Rain and Seth in a makeshift safe house. And Earl Kidd also offered to return to his companions in Starton City to retire. Only Mike was indifferent to Jessica and Deputy Patriarch Weidman's dissuasion. In the end, Jessica had to go with him to the terrifying Sky Island for Mike's safety, but only on the condition that Mike stay at the back during the attack, and escape in the invisibility cloak immediately in case of emergency.

Soon, under the cover of night, the two military planes landed safely in the desert five kilometers away from the hostage town.

Gisuuri is desert on three sides, with only the lake to the west, but that's 10 kilometres away. The second team leader, Brie, commanded Mike and Jessica, and the assault team of more than 20 people moved towards the destination in an orderly manner. Just as he was approaching his goal, Brie found a high ground with natural cover, ordered his troops to rest in place, and sent two men to spy on them.

"Captain, there is no armed force on the outskirts of the town. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary small village. "Military A reported

"Don't be fooled by the illusion that the safer the place, the more murderous it is. Go down and tell everyone not to let their guard down! Brie said

"Yes! Captain! "Soldier A finished speaking and returned to the team

After a while, another scout returned with similar information. The battle-hardened Bree intuitively felt that this was anything but simple, and he ordered a temporary headquarters to be set up here. (Leaving 3 howitzers to line up the howitzers and rocket artillery to cover the formation, a signal corps coordinates the information between the headquarters and the scene, and two radar corps cooperate with night vision, infrared and other monitoring equipment to assist in controlling the whole field) and then he divided the rest of the people into two groups, and one group of Mike and Jessica was sent to destroy the town's power generation equipment. According to the satellite photos, Brie himself personally led a team to search and check several houses that might be the main monitoring room.

Late at night in Jisouuri, quiet and peaceful. Except for a few hot sleepless loitering people on the path, and a few dog barks from time to time, it seems as if you can forget its existence. Brie's team successfully found the town's monitoring room. But it wasn't as sophisticated as they thought, it was just a security room where the old man worked. They looked through the daily footage of the town, and it couldn't be more normal. Just then, Brie's headphones rang.

"Captain, our side is in place, and we can cut off the power at any time, please instruct." Said the vice-captain

"Don't cut it yet, I didn't find anything here. Maybe we pounced on it this time. You are on guard first. Brie and the vice-captain on the other end of the headset ordered

Brie thought to himself: there are no defenses here, and there have been no anomalies in the streets and entrances and exits for a week I have just checked. Either we got the wrong information, or the enemy kept the hostages in the underground fortifications. But to take so many hostages, this fortification is a huge project. Forget it, although the latter is unlikely, after all, it is necessary to eliminate all possibilities to keep up with the first handover.

So after the arrangement was made, he immediately ordered five soldiers to go to the town to search for and investigate every suspicious vent, wellhead, and other places where a large amount of hot air kept coming out of the ground. On the other hand, Jessica's team continued to standby.

"Let's take a break. We're probably going to have to pounce again this time, just like last time. The vice-captain said to the players

"There's nothing in this place but the stuffiness." Soldier B leaned against the wall and complained

Seeing that everyone had lifted their guard, Mike hurried to the next cubicle and took off the invisibility cloak he was wearing inside. At this moment, he was already covered by the invisible cloak with extremely poor breathability, and he was sweating profusely. Mike was still satisfied, so he sneaked out the door again to breathe. It seems that there is really nothing perfect in this world, and as the saying goes, what you gain will lose something.

"Are you alright, Mike? Come, take a sip of water. Jessica, who was wearing the invisibility cloak, quickly asked as she handed Mike the kettle

"Thank you, Sister J. I'm going to faint from the heat if I wear it a little longer. It's so hot here. But it's also really weird. Mike replied as he took the kettle

"I was listening to their call just now, and if I can't find any more useful clues, I'm going to withdraw my troops first." Jessica whispered again

"No, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I just don't know what went wrong. Mike said

At this time, it suddenly began to rain lightly. The long-lost nectar, who had only visited the desert a few times a year, had been met by Mike and them at this moment. It seems that the town still welcomes them. After a while, out of nowhere, two children with basins on their heads appeared and played with water not far from Mike's neighborhood.

"Kid, why don't you sleep at home so late? You get a cold in the rain, you know? Jessica crouched down and said to one of the older girls

The little boy on the side hurriedly replied: "We ran out to play in the water while our grandparents were asleep." Ha ha. ”

The little girl hurriedly stood in front of her brother and asked, "Who are you?" I haven't seen you, big sister. ”

"We're travelling around the world, and we're here today. It's a pity I can't find a place to stay. You must be familiar with the village, can you tell your brothers and sisters a few places where no one is around, or a forbidden place where adults and children are not allowed to play. We just found a quiet place to rest for the night and left. My sister has been on the road for a day, and her feet are worn out, which is really pitiful. Jessica said aggrievedly

The two little children were hesitant and didn't speak.

"My sister will not treat the good children who help them badly. You see, as long as you do my sister this little favor, the chocolates in my sister's backpack will be yours. Jessica said as she took out a marching chocolate from her bag and tore it open and ate it.

"I say! I say! There were only two places where Grandpa didn't allow us to play, and one was a biogas digester that could generate electricity. The other one is the abandoned psychiatric hospital. Go to the digester, it's all stinking of feces, and there will be no one at night. But don't go to the mental hospital, where our former crazy mayor and an old janitor live. My grandfather said that the mayor of the town would bite people when he went crazy, which was very dangerous! Don't go, don't go. The little boy said happily as he ate his chocolate

"Let's go and inform the captain, the entrance is likely to be in the mental hospital." Jessica turned to Mike and whispered
