Chapter 521: Chapter 245 Approaching Crisis_2 Chapter 521: Chapter 245 Approaching Crisis_2 Wen Rou looked at the map and immediately remembered that Yan Fei had previously taken her to tour that place. She was very satisfied with the location and said, “The position is quite nice, but you must give me the most professional construction team and buy the most professional equipment and instruments. At the same time, you must recruit a large number of specialist doctors. As long as these things are in place, I can help you get the Terminal Illness Hospital up and running.”

Yan Fei laughed and said, “Then it's a deal. I will provide you with the best conditions, but you must finish building the Terminal Illness Hospital within six months. Once your Terminal Illness Hospital is completed, we will have an extra talisman and won't fear other countries causing us trouble anymore.”

Wen Rou said with a serious face, “Little Fei, rest assured! I will definitely complete the task you've given me and ensure the security of Misty Island.”

—————-

After the Spring Festival had completely passed, the domestic construction force of two hundred thousand workers returned to Misty Island to continue the construction work. Dream Transportation cargo ships and cruise ships, now even larger in size, made frequent trips between China and Misty Island, transporting a vast amount of personnel and materials to the island.

A small airport was under construction on Misty Island; this small airport would become a fast passageway between Misty Island and the outside world. Once the clouds above Misty Island were completely dispersed, airplanes could officially take off and land at the island's airport.

The new land on Misty Island was incredibly firm. By leveling all the reefs on the ground and adding cement and concrete, it could become a runway for airplanes to take off and land. This was the reason why the construction of the airport was progressing so swiftly. However, after the first phase was completed, the airport was just a small one and could only accommodate some small planes. But in the future, the airport was sure to expand. By then, it would become a standard international airport capable of accommodating all types of large airplanes.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Dream Technology spent a considerable sum to purchase domestic telecommunications equipment and built a comprehensive telecom network on Misty Island. Once Misty Island officially opened to the world, the telecom signal would be activated. At that time, Misty Island would be connected to the Network World, avoiding the current situation of being isolated from the rest of the world.

After the nation took the initiative to join the construction of Misty Island, the speed of various constructions had greatly increased. Yu Xiaozhou, who had originally stayed in Shanghai coordinating with Yan Fei as part of the China Special Duties Unit, was sent to Misty Island to liaise and communicate directly with Yan Fei, dealing with any problems they encountered.

With the construction on Misty Island underway again and Wen Rou coming to his side, Yan Fei was in excellent spirits when Yu Xiaozhou found her in his office, her usually calm face showing a hint of worry.

Full of vigor, Yan Fei laughed and said, “Xiaozhou, who has upset you? Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson for you.”

But Yu Xiaozhou did not take Yan Fei's words and instead got straight to the point, “Mr. Yan, have you noticed a situation where the number of construction workers coming to Misty Island after the Spring Festival has decreased somewhat?”

Yan Fei replied, “I'm aware! Lu Pingping had told me about it earlier. She said that dozens of construction workers, due to health reasons, could no longer engage in the construction work at Misty Island, so they did not return to the island. Moreover, the settlement fees they had previously received were all refunded to us. Is there a problem with them?”

Yu Xiaozhou said, “The construction of your Misty Island is extremely important, so it must be carried out in secret, and there is no room for errors. Even if your builders have gone back home for the Spring Festival, the state has already conducted secrecy training for them in advance, and has been keeping a close watch on their movements.”

Yan Fei suddenly thought of something, and his complexion worsened.

Yu Xiaozhou continued, “Our monitoring personnel have discovered that during the Spring Festival period, some individuals with unclear identities attempted to contact these builders. Due to the large number of your workers, who are also scattered across the country, we couldn't monitor them all. This has caused some loopholes, allowing these unidentified individuals to come into contact with your builders. Based on our subsequent investigation, these individuals who made contact with your builders are likely intelligence agents from certain countries.”

Yan Fei's expression changed as he said, “Are you saying that foreign intelligence agents wouldn't contact my builders for no reason? They approached my builders to unearth the secrets of Misty Island; our construction work has likely been exposed?”

Yu Xiaozhou said, “That's right. Although we have taken some remedial measures, dozens of builders are still missing, their whereabouts unknown. These people are those who have resigned. To avoid drawing your attention, the other side helped them resign and even returned the relocation fees you had paid. We suspect these missing persons have been moved out of the country. They must have leaked a great deal of confidential information, so the secrets of Misty Island have been compromised.”

Yan Fei had anticipated the possibility of Misty Island being exposed prematurely, yet he had not expected it would be due to these builders. However, the Spring Festival is the most important holiday in China, and Yan Fei couldn't possibly prevent these people from going home for the festival. As a result, foreign intelligence agents who were prepared caught the vulnerability and learned the true situation of Misty Island.

Originally there was a method that could have prevented the premature exposure of Misty Island, which was to have personnel from the state's construction corps assist Yan Fei with the construction of Misty Island. With the construction corps personnel involved, not only could the construction speed and quality be ensured, but secrecy could be maintained as much as possible. Initially, the state had recommended this to Yan Fei, but because Yan Fei needed to use the Universal Space extensively to transport materials to Misty Island, and to avoid being discovered with abnormal quantities of supplies on the island, he declined the state's arrangement and insisted on using his own hired construction personnel. As a result, it was this group of workers that led to the premature leakage of the secrets of Misty Island.

Yan Fei thought for a moment and said, “Given the situation, do you have any good suggestions?”

Yu Xiaozhou said, “We have no good suggestions at the moment. After all, the situation is extremely complex, and we don't know how far it has developed. We hope that the construction of Misty Island can be accelerated, and at the same time, that Misty Island be armed. Should any contingency arise, Misty Island would have the ability to protect itself. If you request help, China will also dispatch the Navy to patrol this territorial waters and deter some countries and forces with ulterior motives.”

After weighing the benefits and risks in his mind for a while, Yan Fei suddenly smiled and said, “Since it's already been exposed, any attempt at a cover-up would be futile. If someone truly wants to target me, let them all come! As the saying goes, when the enemy advances, we defend; when the enemy floods in, we build a dam; in a narrow path, the brave wins. I'm no easy target, and those who want to take advantage would do well to consider if their teeth are sharp enough.”

Yan Fei had always wanted more time for development, hence the cautiousness in his actions. However, upon discovering that Misty Island had been compromised and was soon to face threats, his mentality shifted, casting off his previous indecision and becoming filled with a fighting spirit.

With his upgraded Drone Avatar, Yan Fei possessed tremendous combat power. On these seas, he wouldn't fear the naval and air forces of any country, even in a head-on confrontation. And once Yan Fei employs guerrilla warfare using the drones, taking advantage of their superior stealth capabilities and large payload capacity, he would undoubtedly make any power or country that provokes him pay an unbearable price. If Misty Island's accomplishments were destroyed, the country or force responsible would not get off lightly; they would swallow the bitter fruit under Yan Fei's wrath.

Yan Fei could not predict what would happen in the future, but he certainly wouldn't give up his current freedom for future stability. This was also why he had not requested help from China; after all, he knew the stories about how difficult it is to send the gods away once they have been invited in. So instead, he was ready to make a big move and fully demonstrate the strength of Misty Island. Either establish long-lasting peace for Misty Island or lose everything and start over.
