Otherworld Advance Team
Chapter 558 - 551

Chapter 558: 551

After everyone boarded the transport plane, guided by the aircrew, the plane slowly rose from the moving airboat’s tarmac and gradually detached itself from the airboat. About ten meters away from the airboat, the pilot then turned on the propeller, directing the transport plane towards the predetermined destination.

The sky was gloomy and humid at this time, with a thin mist lingering on the ground. When the Advance Team left the Northern, it was still winter last year, and now it was already late spring on their return.

Fulajie’er was quite active on the transport plane, flying around everywhere, and sometimes running outside to admire the landscape below. But after getting along for so long, most of the Advance Team were no longer afraid of her, the only one left who still fears Fulajie’er was probably Luoya.

"We will soon reach the predetermined location!" About twenty minutes into the flight, the co-pilot turned his head and informed them in hard Tasta language.

"Understood, Fula, proceed to the predetermined landing point for reconnaissance!" Luo’er nodded and then issued a reconnaissance order to Fulajie’er.

"Received!" Fulajie’er saluted in a very formal manner, then dissolved her body in an instant and immediately disappeared into the air.

In his time with Luo’er, he also taught her some basic tactical literacy and some combat terms, so she won’t be confused when she hears Luo’er speak and needs to be reminded a second time to respond.

Fulajie’er was a spirit-type after all, her speed was quite astounding. She went down less than five minutes before she instantly reappeared in front of everyone, then reported to Luo’er: "Hmm, no people spotted near the landing zone, but there are some wild animals that might pose a threat to you guys."

"Understood, everyone get ready, we’re about to land!" Luo’er said, starting to check his backpack and weapons.

West of Saint Basaya is Oudallo’s territory, which is dominated by mountainous hills. The closer to the southwest, the more severe the terrain becomes. The first mountain range of the Otherworld continent, the Namijiya Mountain Range, originates from Oudallo.

Because the terrain along this route is too complex and bumpy, transportation is not very convenient. Therefore, if you want to go from Saint Basaya to Oudallo, most people prefer the plains in the northern territories of Otland.

The transport plane’s landing point was a relatively flat hill, without too many trees around. The transport plane slowed down, Luo’er opened the hatch, and then was the first to step out of the transport plane. He kneeled halfway on the ground, aiming his gun, and said to Fulajie’er: "Fula, start patrolling!"

"Oh, okay, got it!" Fulajie’er paused a moment, then dissolved her body again.

In fact, her physical form is not slow in movement, it’s just she got used to operating as a spirit-body, and the spirit-body’s speed is slightly faster than her mana-constructed body.

After everyone got off the transport plane, the pilot controlled the transport plane to ascend and then return to the airboat in the sky.

"Ayoyo, the Northern is still a bit cold!" Hu Daoke shivered and rubbed his hands, finding that you could still see his breath in the air.

"It’s almost summer, what’s cold about it?" Cheng Ziang glanced around, not as vigilant as Luo’er’s team.

After all, the Advance Team now has the super detector Fulajie’er, and any movement within a hundred meters could not escape her eyes.

Fulajie’er patrolled for about half an hour, then suddenly appeared in front of everyone, reporting: "There’s no one, nobody within a kilometer!"

During the half-hour of patrol, she took the Advance Team as the center and circled around them countless times, each circle continuously expanding its radius, directly surveying a full kilometer in all directions.

Actually, according to reason, her speed should be even faster. But Fulajie’er was still human after all, had limitations, and didn’t have the computational capacity of an artificial intelligence.

"Very well," Luo’er dropped his gun, then said to them, "I’ll discuss our current situation. Right now, this group is hiding in these mountains. We must find them, keep an eye on them, and strike as soon as they transport Fu’en back. We will eliminate everyone and take Fu’en with us."

He paused, then continued, "But bear in mind, these guys are not easy. They may have support from the CIA which means their weaponry will not be inferior to ours. More importantly, they may be in close contact with the CIA and might know about our arrival. Therefore, we must be careful not to let them capture us before we get them."

"Why is it always us, the Advance Team, who undertake such operations? Don’t we have a large force to mobilize?" Hu Daoke couldn’t help but complain.

Although his words were harsh, they represented a common sentiment. The Advance Team was originally established as a reconnaissance force, but as missions progressed, the team increasingly found themselves involved in major battles against enemy forces. Often, the five-man Advance Team would fight enemies ten times their size, while ensuring their safety and completion of the mission.

This was not just Hu Daoke’s complaint, but that of most Advance Team members. Because of this, Cheng Ziang, for once, didn’t counter his argument.

"Uh, the Airboat will return to support us after transporting the team to the base." Luo’er responded somewhat awkwardly.

"Brother Li himself said that the Airboat would probably head to Ilanadale. It’s clear they want us six to capture Fu’en!" Hu Daoke shook his head and said.

"Uh, this..." Although Hu Daoke’s words were unpleasant, Luo’er couldn’t refute them because they were accurate.

"No hard feelings, boss. I don’t mean any disrespect." Seeing Luo’er’s embarrassed face, Hu Daoke quickly waved his hand and apologized.

"I understand your perspective. The role of the Advance Team is indeed becoming more and more ambiguous. Despite our numbers never increasing, our mission intensity is aligning with traditional teams." Luo’er nodded, showing understanding.

Cheng Ziang stepped forward, patted Hu Daoke’s shoulder jokingly, "What will be, will be. We just need to try our best. Success or failure isn’t up to us. After all, tasks like these should be carried out with a force of fifty or sixty. We’re not even a speck in comparison."

"Let’s be a little understanding towards HQ. Our tasks are increasing, but reinforcements are not. The first generation trainees are still studying, and as their role models, we should share the burden for HQ." Luo’er comforted.

Luo’er indeed spoke the truth. The appearance of Gate No.2 had caught all the leaders off guard. HQ is desperate to connect the second Otherworld Gate back to Earth, leading to significant actions in recent times. Otherwise, with the previous mission intensity, the Advance Team might still be living a life of rest between missions.

"Didn’t I hear you guys are supposed to be studying in college? Why are you constantly being dispatched to the Otherworld?" Hu Daoke turned to Shangguan Jiu and asked.

"Who told you we were in college? We’ve been on a long sabbatical dealing with issues on Earth. While you are the Otherworld Advance Team, we’re Earth’s crisis management team, flying around the globe all day. We have been chasing Fu’en all around the Earth." Shangguan Jiu shrugged and honestly answered.

"Looks like we’re in the same boat." Hu Daoke said after a sigh.

"Okay, enough complaining, check your equipment, we’re moving out!" Luo’er instructed.

"Let’s go, let’s go. Little Nine, you’ll get to experience the rugged journey of the Advance Team. All these years in the Otherworld, we only traveled by plane for the Southern mission." As Hu Daoke was inspecting his machine gun, he continued talking.

"Haven’t we executed missions together before?" Shangguan Jiu asked.

"We did, but we had horses then. Now, we have to proceed on foot. You probably don’t know, but the time we spent riding and walking since we arrived in the Otherworld is divided equally. We spend most of our time traveling." Hu Daoke sighed and said.
