Chapter 820: Chapter 339 Mechanical Sparrow Chapter 820: Chapter 339 Mechanical Sparrow The drone took off from Dream Island at just past eight o'clock local time, by which time the skies of Dream Island had darkened. However, as the drone flew westward, it actually caught up with the twilight zone, seeing the sun once again. And as the drone continued further west, the time on the ground became earlier, as if Yan Fei was traveling through time and space with the drone, which was quite amazing.

The drone's flight altitude reached 25,000 meters and its speed hit 2.5 times the speed of sound, or 3060 kilometers per hour. This velocity ensured it could catch up with and continually surpass the time zone line. If it maintained its course, it could even remain perpetually bathed in sunlight.

Unlike previous flights to Africa, the drone now had radar stealth capability, meaning it had no concerns about being detected by other nations' air defense radars. Therefore, it could fly directly over other countries' airspace without being noticed.

As a result, the drone's flight efficiency was very high, for it didn't need to fly indirectly but could head straight for Africa and reduce unnecessary travel time. Three and a half hours later, the drone finally crossed the vast Indian Ocean and entered the African continent, arriving above Aywei Village, 100 kilometers west of Nairobi, Kenya's capital. Below the drone was Aywei Village, where Yan Fei and Wen Rou had first met, a place of great sentimental value to Yan Fei.

Yan Fei had not been to Aywei Village in over two years, but on his return, he found that it seemed unchanged from two years prior. Two years ago, an Ebola outbreak had triggered a depopulation; now, the village was still grappling with the Ebola outbreak, with an air of death and desolation.

During the drone's hours of flight, “Dream” had controlled Dream Island's reconnaissance satellites to constantly scan Aywei Village, analyzing any abnormal areas in detail and verifying the identities of any suspicious individuals, trying to find where the “African Glory” organization had confined Dream Island's hostages.

Due to the Ebola outbreak, the Kenyan and Tanzanian governments had blockaded hundreds of kilometers around Aywei Village, forbidding anyone from entering. Only when the medical team from Dream Island had come with their special medicine, were they allowed to enter this death zone. Then, with the help of some international volunteer organizations, a large number of Ebola virus-infected patients were concentrated in Aywei Village to await free treatment from Dream Island's medical team.

After the rapid distribution of the special medicine by Dream Island's medical team, a large number of Ebola virus-infected patients began to recover. Unexpectedly, a group of unidentified armed militants appeared, shot and killed the government soldiers protecting Dream Island's medical team, then kidnapped the team members and stole the life-saving special medicine for treating the Ebola virus.

Without the special medicine, a large number of Ebola virus-infected patients began to die. After the incident of its medical personnel being kidnapped, Dream Island dared not send medical staff to chaotic Africa again for free treatment of the infected. As hope vanished, the number of those in despair rose, as did the prevalence of heinous crimes, leading to deteriorating security in the epidemic area.

It was because of this that Dream Island faced tremendous international pressure. International human rights organizations began to publicly demand that Dream Island continue sending personnel to treat Ebola virus-infected patients for free or that Dream Island should unconditionally release the formula of the Ebola virus treatment special medicine, allowing capable international organizations to produce enough special medicine to provide timely treatment of Ebola virus patients and save more lives.

These international human rights organizations were all from Western countries and inherently felt superior, commanding Dream Island as though it was their duty to treat Africa's virus-infected patients for free. But Dream Island, being already incensed by the abduction of its personnel, had Lu Pingping directly rebut these organizations.

Lu Pingping first expressed Dream Island's sympathy for the African Ebola virus-infected patients but quickly turned the conversation to the kidnapped hostages of Dream Island, emphasizing that they too were living lives with families waiting for them to return home safely. Lu Pingping then hoped for the international community's help to rescue Dream Island's hostages, warning that if the international community didn't find a way to bring back Dream Island's hostages, then Dream Island would no longer care for Africa's Ebola virus-infected patients. As for releasing the formula of the Ebola virus treatment special medicine without conditions–that was out of the question, for it was the crystallization of countless Dream Island scientists' labor and their intellectual property.

Without the life-saving special medicine, Aywei Village became even more chaotic. To find the kidnappers' hideout amid such turmoil was hardly easier than finding a needle in a haystack. However, with Yan Fei's possession of the artificial intelligence “Dream” to conduct facial recognition on all the people appearing near Aywei Village via satellite, “Dream” managed to find clues amidst the chaos.
