Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

In front of everyone, Ghost Shark picked up her weapon and walked into the bathroom. Passing tourists were a little scared, worried that they would be hurt by her. Feng Qingyu was worried about her mental state and had to accompany her throughout the whole process.

The medical staff also strongly recommended that Ghost Shark should never be allowed to act alone, lest she suddenly have a mental breakdown without anyone around her. Wei Cao still had some sedatives in her bag, and when it came time to give her an injection, Feng Qingyu was determined not to show any mercy.

Ghost Shark is in good spirits today and stays awake for a long time.

She quietly cleaned her circular saw in the bathroom, flushing away every last bit of the seaweed.

Even deep-sea hunters appear here, proving that the ocean's tentacles are getting closer and closer to the land.

Feng Qingyu looked at the calm sea outside, and the seeds of unrest were planted.

60. You smell salty

Cleaning a saw in a restaurant is strange enough, but the ghost shark's behavior can go a step further, such as constantly sniffing other people's scents like a pet dog.

"What...what happened?"

Feng Qingyu was frightened by the ghost shark's smell. He had clearly taken a shower before going to bed, so there should be no odor on his body.

Having been with the operators of Rhodes Island for a long time, no one has ever complained about her strange smell, which made others feel unbearable and had to keep a distance from her.

Sharks' noses are very sensitive to some smells, such as blood.

Could it be that the burn on his back gave off a faint scent of blood, which excited the shark's taste buds?

"You have a strange smell."

The ghost shark got closer and closer, exceeding the distance that a normal colleague should have. This shark's style of doing things was too erratic and did not conform to the usual routines of ordinary people. His unpredictable personality became the biggest reason for people to stay away from him.

It was rare to see her getting so close to an operator and sniffing the other person's scent without paying attention to anyone else.

"I took a serious shower. I swear, the first thing I did when I arrived at the office was to take a shower. I washed inside and out several times. If you don't believe me... If you don't believe me, I can't help you, unless you want to see me take a shower with your own eyes."

"No... not taking a shower. You smell salty and wet."

"Sleazy? Your choice of words is dangerous."

Feng Qingyu thought she was a decent person, pure in body and mind like a novice nun in the Lateran Cathedral, how could she be so dirty? There must be something that caused this shark to have an inappropriate misunderstanding.

When she held the Silver Party with the female operators, she did not invite the operators of the Deep Sea Group. Everyone was doing their best. How could Ghost Shark, who rarely interacts with others, know about her affair with the female operators?

Did some female operator who loves to share accidentally let it out?

She felt mixed emotions and tried to find the right words. After all, Ghost Shark was a mature woman, not a brat who could be fooled by a few words. Inappropriate remarks would lower her reputation.

Ghost Shark's fingers wandered over his shoulders, intruded under his round-neck T-shirt, and touched his collarbone. Although he didn't lift up his clothes or do anything excessive, the places touched by his cold fingertips felt a little numb, and Feng Qingyu's body froze in place.

"What are you doing? We are outside."

"The breath of the sea..."

The key on her neck was the focus of Ghost Shark's attention. She stared at the key like locking onto prey. The stains and odors on it should have been cleaned. What Ghost Shark could smell was probably something that other Terrans could not sense.

The weirdos and the deep-sea hunters are not completely unrelated. Maybe the shark can "smell" the door that the key points to and lead her to the right route?

This idea is very bold. It is easier to follow the unique sense of smell of the deep-sea hunter to find the treasure buried in the mysterious place than to go it alone and rack your brains to figure out the problem.

Agor is a country with highly developed technology, and its level is far superior to that of the countries on Terra. The power of a powerful Agor is equivalent to that of a dozen or even dozens of land people.

Seeing that the ghost shark's eyes were fixed on the key and it was unwilling to leave for the time being, Feng Qingyu had to take it off and put it on the table so that she could take a closer look.

"Do you recognize this key?"

"I don't recognize it... but it feels familiar, disturbing, and agitated. I can't describe the feeling. My blood will boil... I will have a splitting headache..."

"Then don't look at it."

Feng Qingyu put the key back on and let it out of the ghost shark's sight. The key was out of the shark's reach, and she immediately returned to normal. After a moment of trance, it seemed as if that memory had never existed.

Fish's memory only lasts seven seconds. Sharks are also fish, so their memory is as fleeting as a flash in the pan.

"What was I doing just now?"

"We were discussing what to have for afternoon tea, and your finger lingered on the fried noodles with three fresh delicacies."

"Ah, sorry, I've been like this lately and have caused a lot of trouble for Skadi. I don't really like seafood-flavored fried noodles, but the seafood-flavored fried noodles are just right for me."

"so close……"

The small disaster caused by the key passed away with the warm afternoon breeze, and the three of them enjoyed a sumptuous afternoon tea in Xiosta's restaurant.

After finishing the meal and paying the bill, Skadi hurried into the restaurant.

"I come."

She took out a few brand new Xiosta bills and placed them on the counter, looking relieved.

"I'm sorry that Ghost Shark has caused you trouble. She left me in just two minutes while I was shopping. Luckily, she met you guys."

"In fact, she followed the smell of Haisi to the office on her own and helped us deal with some Haisi."

When Weicao thought of the shredded body of the sea urchin, the food in her stomach immediately protested, preventing her from continuing to think about it. She had already fully experienced the fighting power of the deep-sea hunters, and she was in awe of the ghost shark and Skadi.

No one was talkative, except Feng Qingyu. On the way back to the office, they didn't need to communicate too much, each thinking about the things that mattered to them.

The operators who went to clean up the traces had already returned to the beach in front of the office. There were more than a dozen of them. The person in charge, Huo Chong, counted the number of people and used a paper cutter to tear apart the huge cardboard boxes piled up like a small mountain at his feet.

"Thank goodness you're here, Ms. Skadi. We were able to get such great tools, which has lightened the workload of the operators. These things, which even the Xiosta officials can't get, have increased a lot of field orders for Rhodes Island. We can give everyone more bonuses this month."

"You're welcome. These tools are only of ordinary quality in Agor. I am happy to help you. Where are you going on the next mission? Ghost Shark told me that she really wants to stretch her muscles and hopes to regain her past feelings in battle. The Doctor and Dr. Kal'tsit have also approved this mission."

Skadi took out the folded mission application from her pocket.

Ghost Shark's situation is special. Whether she can participate in combat and missions requires the medical department to comprehensively evaluate her recent physical and mental state. The current assessment is "normal", so Skadi can take her out for a walk.

It was the first time that Feng Qingyu stood with the deep-sea hunters to take on a mission and he found it very fresh.

After all, the experience of playing a villain in the game and seeing the real person fighting is different. She is looking forward to encountering more thrilling things. If she can follow the deep-sea hunter to visit the underwater city in a special way, her life as a Terran will be worth it.

Finally, Feng Qingyu was assigned to a team with two deep-sea hunters. Weicao was very powerful and worked with other operators to clean up the beach with the most tourists.

Beneath the calm ocean, undercurrents are surging.

61. Island Clearance Operation

The goods ordered by the office are "little helpers" and supporting components produced in a mysterious workshop. Little helpers are practical tools for the Agor people. Their scope of work includes survival in the wild, housework assistance, stain removal and physical fitness. Their working principles are unknown to ordinary people on the land.

Detailed instructions for use are included in the box, and Skadi has also taught the operators in the office in detail how to use it.

The set she brought from Iberia last time has been worn out, and the engineering staff of Rhodes Island are still studying its working principles and striving to reproduce an improved version for internal use in Rhodes Island.

Cleaning up the Abyss is a big project. Skadi placed an order with an Iberian black market merchant who once lived in Iberia but has now left, ordering dozens of sets of small helpers for Rhodes Island. The reference for production is the official Iberian "Hand of the Saint", and the working principles of the two are basically the same.

The Iberians made their fortune with the technological fragments of Agor, and the things they used were also inextricably linked to Agor. The kits produced by Iberian merchants were safe and reliable, and Rhodes Island operators could buy them with confidence.

Skadi and Ghost Shark didn't bring any helpers with them. Their strength allowed them not to bring any helpers, and they didn't need to. Feng Qingyu and Wei Cao learned some AOE fire magic skills, which allowed them to burn and clean a large area of ​​the sea marks at one time. The burned floor would not regenerate for a long time, and the dragon flame could effectively suppress these alien sea heirs.

Having spells is not enough insurance. Feng Qingyu doesn't mind carrying a set of cleaning tools. The weight is nothing compared to what the Guards carry during their daily weight training.

The office re-issued her a mobile terminal with a lightweight reconnaissance drone. The one that had been used on the deserted island for a long time eventually died due to natural disasters and magnetic fields. It was recycled as scrap parts and waited to be returned to the factory for repair.

The island to be cleaned is a tourist island in Xiosta, with a dormant volcano that has been developed into a large amusement park. The business of the amusement park has been optimistic until half a month ago, when tourists discovered a strange-looking "merman" with human legs on the island.

"Vellenai Island is one of the islands that Xiosta focuses on developing tourism projects. The number of tourists has increased rapidly in recent years. Mayor Herman hopes that Rhodes Island can help him share his worries. The reward is very generous. You just need to disguise yourself as amusement park staff, do not alert the tourists, and clear the abyss and active fish in the amusement park. The mission is very simple."

Huochong briefly explained the mission content and handed the three of them a bunch of keys to the water vehicle.

The product jointly developed by Rhode Island and Raytheon Industries is sturdy, safe, and fast, and can cope with water travel in all kinds of weather. There is no need to worry about escape after the boat capsizes. The boat is equipped with strong and reliable life jackets and lifebuoys, as well as airbags.

"Operator Kuroba, Miss Ceylon from the medical department has mentioned to me many times that you are an excellent vehicle driver. This latest model of water vehicle from Rhodes Island should not be a problem for you."

"Easy. I can even fly a flying machine. Maybe I can even use Victoria's Steam Knight Armor with ease."

Feng Qingyu took the key and jumped into the driver's seat of the vehicle.

The structure of the vehicle and the motorboat were similar, and the operation was similar. She fiddled with it a few times and got the hang of it. Even if she hadn't used the latest model, she had driven at least 20 previous models, so it wouldn't be much different.

There are two more rows of seats in the back, each row can accommodate two people, Ghost Shark and Skadi each occupy one row, and the backpack for tools is placed at the back. The sea surface of Xiosta is very calm, and there are no disaster clouds hovering above, so this mission is relatively easy.

After finishing a day's work, you can go to the barbecue stall on the beach to eat something delicious in the evening.

The operators working in Xiosta all enjoy this kind of life. They are very leisurely most of the time. They are really just clerks in a water sports store. Only occasionally do they remember that they were originally operators of Rhodes Island.

The mission content sounds simple and there is no need to dispatch two deep-sea hunters. After arranging the ordinary tasks, Huoqiang added some extraordinary mission content.

"There is an additional mission. The Xiosta City Public Security Bureau has detected objects that appear to be large aquatic creatures. Several reconnaissance ships have been attacked, and more than a dozen investigators have lost contact during the investigation. They have not been found yet, and their lives or deaths are unknown. Your main task is to find the whereabouts of these people, investigate those unknown creatures in the water, and take as many pictures or video footage as possible. It would be even better if you can fight on the spot."

The lazy person in charge's expression suddenly became serious.

"It's hard for me to imagine that there are things like that roaming under this land. It's scary just to think about it. The other operators in the office are either not familiar with water or are timid and not suitable for such a mission. I can only ask you to help."

Skadi and Ghost Shark had no objection to the mission. Diving into the deep sea happened to be what they, the deep-sea hunters, were good at. Going down to investigate was as easy as taking a walk outdoors.

The ghost shark fell into a trance state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness again. Skadi injected her with a shot of sedative specially made for her by Rhodes Island. She stared quietly at the sea water illuminated by the afternoon sun, like an exquisite doll.

Feng Qingyu used magic to burn off the traces of the abyss that were stuck to the shallows. The burnt traces of the abyss still emitted an extremely unpleasant smell as usual.

After a period of learning, her spells are strong enough to burn down an apartment building. It will take some time to learn to burn down a city like Tallulah. The next goal is probably to be strong enough to burn down the entire Rhodes Island main ship (bushi) at one time.

"Everything is cleaned up, let's go now."

The two deep-sea hunters nodded in response.

The other operators also took their positions and worked hard for the generous rewards. Feng Qingyu didn't care how much the reward was, although the more money the better. She hoped to encounter more occasions where she could use spells and fully release the nature of a Drake.

Draco was born to be with fire, light and heat.

Three people in one vehicle, heading towards the unknown area ahead of the horizon.

Skadi's gaze switched back and forth between the ghost shark and the sea below. Both she and the ghost shark smelled an unusual scent beneath the sea surface, which was the same as that of Minghen and the terrifying fish.

The smell was not particularly strong at the bottom of Xiosta, but in Iberia, it was so strong that it made them breathless and their eyes and noses sore.

Sooner or later, the problems on the seabed will become problems that the countries on the Terra continent must face. That day is obviously getting closer and closer. The tentacles on the seabed are growing at an irreversible speed, bringing those things to the land.

Skadi clenched the sword bag in her hand, her long gray hair fluttering in the sea breeze.

62. Cruising Shadow

A few miles away from the island of Velenay, there was no sign of land in sight, only an endless expanse of monotonous blue. The surface of the sea was dyed golden by the sun, the golden waves swayed in the wind, and the water vehicles were also rippling in the dazzling water ripples.

The volcanic island is located in the center of the Xiosta Sea, not far from the Xiosta land area. There are many landing points on the island to choose from by boat, any water transportation or aircraft, making travel convenient.

Several deep-water ports have been built on the edge of the island, and the scene of marine vehicles shuttling between the docks is extremely busy, making even Longmen's busiest tourist attractions pale in comparison.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xiosta is a city-state that can be self-sufficient by tourism. Even without other ancillary industries, the income from the main business is enough to maintain the operation of the entire city.

It was the first time for Feng Qingyu and the two deep-sea hunters to visit the volcanic island called Villenay.

The scenes on the island and in the Xiosta city-state are different. In the center of the island is a towering volcano. After erupting several times during the Great Quiet in Iberia, it completely lost its activity and became a safe extinct volcano. After a comprehensive assessment by the Xiosta environmental monitoring agency, there will be no more large-scale volcanic eruptions here. The tourism department has started development and construction in recent years with increasing efforts, and finally built such a paradise on the sea.

Who doesn’t love a good trip, and no one can refuse the offer of visiting a volcano-themed amusement park during the trip.

The volcano has been developed over the years and has gradually transformed from a simple mountain into a luxurious resort hotel. The number of tourists increases dramatically every summer, most of whom want to spend the winter.

Xiosta has a warm climate and is located in the tropics, with long summers and no winter. Feng Qingyu saw a large number of tourists from Ursus on the beach. It was winter in Ursus at this time, the temperature dropped to below zero, and the extreme cold and strong winds were unbearable.

Even if you are indoors, you cannot resist the pervasive cold.

It is a good choice to spend a little money to spend the winter in a warm place, live in a short-term rental apartment specially opened for tourists, and then return to your country to continue living when the temperature warms up.

This city is not filled with the atmosphere of extravagance and decadence like the Bolivar Mobile City of Dos Soles. The main theme of this city is the natural and harmonious tourist atmosphere.

They changed into maintenance workers' uniforms in the amusement park lounge, hid their weapons in the trunk of the Ferris car, and acted separately starting from the main gate.

"I'll contact you every twenty minutes, okay?"

Skadi helped Ghost Shark button up her eye-catching orange polo shirt and placed her in the passenger seat of the Ferris wheel.

Three "maintenance workers" inspecting equipment on the same route at the same time would be too conspicuous and inefficient. They did not plan to work together until serious safety issues arose.

"Okay, I'll go to the west, and you guys start from the east. When we meet up on the way, we can exchange the information we have."

"learn."

Two ordinary white Ferris wheels with the "Minor Repair" logo on them separated in opposite directions and merged with the surging crowd. The air was filled with the aroma of food stalls, the smell of sea water, and the scent of grass, trees, and soil in the amusement park.

There was a faint fishy smell in between, and if you didn't look carefully, you would hardly notice its existence. Its smell was similar to that of seawater, but more pungent and stronger than that of seawater. Tourists just thought it was a normal smell brought by the surging seawater, and no one thought of it as a sea invasion.

The Great Silence is far away from the Terrans who have lived on land for a long time. It seems to have only happened in Iberia and only appears in a few simple lines of text in history and Chinese textbooks, seeming out of reach.

Feng Qingyu carefully avoided the crowded crowd and headed for a secluded forest path.
