Chapter 39: The Tasks of the Second Phase
Tonight, the Pacific Ocean is silent, with only the slight flow of the sea breeze and the whisper of waves crashing on the beach.
The moonlight emitted a solemn and holy aura like a mist woven through a hazy silver veil.
The long stretch of beach shimmered with a hazy silver light, and Hara Haochen stepped on the fine sand, breathing in the smell of the sea, and looked around.
Only the sound of the wind, the whisper of the waves, only the moonlight, the white sand.
After confirming that there was no trace of anyone else around, Yuan Haochen took out his compass.
Sure enough, it still didn't work, so I had to continue to use the position of the stars to determine the direction.
"I don't know if anyone has walked out of this desert island forest first", just as Yuan Haochen was thinking, the mission receiver suddenly emitted a burst of light and sounded a "beep".
"Someone has already arrived on the next desert island early!" Yuan Haochen instantly realized that he hurriedly opened the interface of the task receiver.
"The second phase of the mission, travel through the forest of the second desert island, reach the center of the desert island, find the helicopter, and drive away from the desert island. The third phase of the task will be released after the second phase of the task is completed first. Important: If you encounter danger and want to abandon the test, tap the [Abandon] command, and the base will locate you to rescue you. ”
After reading the mission information, Yuan Haochen felt that time was pressing, and he didn't delay for too long, so he didn't hesitate to swim away from this deserted island to the east.
After a year of training, Yuan Haochen has already mastered the skills of long-distance swimming at sea. So, a distance of five kilometers is now just an easy task for him.
Luckily, there wasn't much wind and waves in the Pacific tonight, otherwise this long-distance sea trip would have exerted more physical strength.
Rao is like this, in order to ensure that he has enough physical strength, Yuan Haochen deliberately chewed half a cobra meat before leaving, and the bloody taste was very sour!
After swimming for about an hour, Yuan began to slow down and carefully observe the sea level in the distance, for fear of missing the second desert island.
Another ten minutes passed, and Yuan Haochen could clearly see the black bulge in the distance from the sea level.
Looking from afar, Yuan Haochen was surprised to find that in the center of this deserted island was a towering extinct volcano.
The walls of the volcano are quite steep, and it seems that the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance) is trying to drain everyone's energy.
Now that the target has been determined, Yuan Haochen swam towards the volcanic island in front of him with all his might
About an hour after Hara landed on the volcanic island, Suzuki and Okamura also arrived at the shore of the volcanic island.
It's just that at this time, Suzuki and Gangmura looked extremely tired, constantly panting for breath, and the clothes on their bodies were also tattered, and they were extremely embarrassed.
"Ba~Ga, that jungle is too cunning, and so much time has been wasted."
"It's good to meet Suzuki-kun, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to get out of trouble."
"Yo Xi." Suzuki suddenly looked at Gangcun with a gloomy expression.
"Suzuki-kun, what are you?"
"We had wasted too much time before, and the first person to complete the task was already more than two hours ahead of us. And we don't know if there are any other people ahead of us, so there is a good chance that we will be eliminated. Suzuki gasped and said coldly, "For the sake of the honor of our great Japan, you must make sacrifices." ”
Then, Suzuki snatched Gangmura's backpack and took out the only compressed biscuit that was left in it, and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word.
"This Suzuki-kun", Gangmura's body trembled, as if he wanted to step forward and take back his backpack.
"Eight~Ga!" Suzuki let out a loud roar, instantly shocking Gangmura, "Don't forget your identity and mission is to assist me in staying at IEA." ”
"Hey!" After Gangcun's expression was flustered for a while, he immediately bent down and shouted.
"You'll stay at the entrance of the forest for a while, keep an eye out for the science students coming from behind, and take action to stop them if necessary."
"Hey!"
"Be careful not to expose yourself, act in the shadows, and don't let people find out, the IEA doesn't like members who are doing black things to their own people." Suzuki said with a sinister expression, "If you are discovered, remember, your actions have nothing to do with me. ”
After saying this, Suzuki left Gangmura with a helpless face, turned around and drilled into the dense forest
At this time, Yuan Haochen was quickly walking through the forests around the volcanic island.
The volcanic island covers an area larger than the first desert island and is expected to reach more than 30 square kilometers.
Volcanic islands are generally formed by the accumulation of volcanic eruptions such as lava and volcanic ash, and are still widely distributed in the Pacific Rim, but such large volcanic islands are indeed relatively rare.
It is estimated that this volcanic island is very old, and the whole island is relatively flat around the island, with well-developed vegetation and more than half of the forest cover.
But as you approach the center of the island, the terrain suddenly becomes steeper, and an ancient volcano with an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters stands in the middle of the island
(More on that later.) If it's too late, please rest first, and watch again tomorrow, and pay attention to your body. )
