I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 462 Investigation Team
A human was fighting with a bush...

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine this scene.

Mo Ling was completely immersed in the somewhat ridiculous fight.

Li Luo's hand was also stuck in mid-air, maintaining the posture of pulling the rope.

The man didn't notice Li Luo at the edge of the sky island, still cutting the bushes with the rough stone sword...

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he had cut the bush into pieces and broken off all the branches.

"Finally done."

He stepped on the broken branch several times and his whole body drooped down.

The stone sword was propped on the ground, and the man was holding the hilt. He had completely lost the passion he had in the previous battle, and his whole body looked lifeless.

Stepping on the branches on the ground, he muttered a few words: "Why did I run to such a remote place?"

He looked in the direction where the bushes had been running, and saw Li Luo standing there motionless, and the cube floating in the sky.

"Huh?" The man was stunned and looked into Li Luo's eyes.

"Humanity?"

After seeing Li Luo, he seemed to regain his energy. He ran hurriedly to Li Luo, then stopped suddenly.

"How did you get here?"

“Did you come down from the third floor?”

"Do you have any identification?"

He kept a safe distance from Li Luo, and then kept gesturing at something, as if he hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, and his speech was a little halting.

"I am a member of the Sky Island Investigation Team, responsible for monitoring this Sky Island. This is my ID... and this is my team certificate."

Before Li Luo could ask, the man revealed his entire identity and took out various unclear documents from his worn protective suit, looking completely defenseless.

"Zhou Dynasty?" Li Luo saw his name on the blurry certificate and read it out in confusion.

"Yes." The man responded directly: "Because my mother's last name is Ji, my father gave me this name."

He seemed to be very familiar with Li Luo and began to complain about the origin of this name.

But at this moment, Li Luo's attention was not on his somewhat familiar conversation, but on the nameplate hanging around his neck.

It seemed that the movement of taking out the ID card was too big, and the somewhat old nameplate had flown out of Zhou Chao's clothes and was shaking in front of his chest.

Li Luo looked at the characters above and his eyes widened.

"Level 4 Hunter, Deserter Zhou Chao."

……

Seeing that Li Luo was staring at his chest, Zhou Chao looked down in confusion, only to find that his nameplate had been hanging outside without him noticing.

He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly put the nameplate away.

However, he was too embarrassed to say anything.

"Deserter? What does that mean?"

"It's always been like this." Zhou Chao covered his chest and answered embarrassedly.

Li Luo did not continue to ask questions, but took out his nameplate, walked forward and handed it to him.

"My name is Li Luo..."

After some conversation, the two confirmed each other's identities again.

"Are you monitoring this sky island yourself?"

"Yes."

"Then there should be records of this island. Why is there no information in the database?" Li Luo took out an electronic screen and asked in confusion.

"I don't know." Zhou Chao scratched his head: "My electronic screen is broken, I don't know either."

"Why are you alone on this empty island? Where are the other team members?"

"The captain took the other team members to report to the monitoring station and left me here... to deal with the troubles on this island." Zhou Chao said as Li Luo looked at him with a suspicious expression.

"deserter?"

"I'm not a deserter! I have an important mission! The captain let me stay because he trusts me!"

When Zhou Chao mentioned the title on his nameplate, he became excited again.

He suddenly ran back, picked up the scattered branches of the bush, and rushed to Li Luo.

"Did you just see this thing?"

Li Luo looked at the branch and nodded.

"This is an activated bush, caused by the pollution of this sky island. If no one is guarding it, the pollution will escape. The pollution on the fourth floor will easily spread to the upper part, and it will be very difficult to suppress it at that time!"

Zhou Chao waved a branch in front of Li Luo with a very serious tone.

"pollute?"

"Yeah, activated pollution."

Zhou Chao turned his head and pointed his stone sword at the scattered branches on the ground.

"It was originally a common bush on the roadside, but after being activated and polluted, it became like that, like some kind of wild beast. It would attack any moving target to gain 'activity'."

"The most common activated objects here are activated shrubs, activated rocks, activated soil, activated leaves... The simpler the objects, the easier they are to activate. The captain said that if we let them run away, they would pollute other places, so he asked me to stay and guard them."

Listening to Zhou Chao's words, Li Luo was still a little skeptical.

"Why did the captain leave you alone?"

"Because I'm strong."

Zhou Chao picked up the stone sword and placed it on his shoulder, looking very proud.

"Did you see that animated bush just now? It's no match for me."

Talking about the recent battle, Zhou Chao regained his energy and started bragging to Li Luo.

Although he was an official member of the investigation team, he looked very unsteady.

Li Luo also turned a deaf ear to his words and didn't care at all.

She slowly walked to the remains of the bush and carefully picked up a leaf.

"Activated pollution?"

Li Luo took out the electronic screen and searched for relevant information, but there was no corresponding content in the database.

"This is newly discovered pollution. It only exists on this empty island. You shouldn't be able to find it." Zhou Chao explained behind him.

"Yes." Li Luo put away the electronic screen and turned to ask, "Where is the nearby monitoring station?"

"I don't know. This is an unknown sky island. It's always moving. I don't know where I am, but..." Zhou Chao reached into his pocket and took out a cylindrical metal.

"I have a locator. The captain will come find me."

"When did the captain say he would come to see you?" Li Luo asked curiously.

Zhou Chao shook his head: "I don't know, he didn't tell me, he just asked me to watch it."

"He also said that if I got impatient, I could go to the beacon in the middle of the island and send a signal, and someone would come to rescue me."

Zhou Chao pointed to the depths of the woods and spoke seriously.

"Beacon?"

"Yes, they have placed a beacon in the center of the Sky Island. That thing can mark the movement trajectory of the Sky Island, determine the location of the Sky Island, and can also be used as a signal transmitter. The last time I came to this island, they had already placed it."

"How long have you been on this empty island?"

Zhou Chao thought for a moment and replied, "It's been about half a year... My equipment is all broken, and the captain hasn't come back to find me."

"I wonder if they have forgotten me?"
