Chapter 2826: Chapter 2826: Long Conversation

The Yanlong Team and the people from Group Four rushed in immediately, giving no chance for the Storm Team to react, and controlled them at once.

Teplon’s expression was furious, staring at Gret who was tied up like a pretzel.

"You actually betrayed us!"

Gret looked panicked and hurriedly explained:

"I didn’t want it either, but this man is too terrifying. If I didn’t agree to him, he’d make me wish I were dead."

"That can’t be your reason for betrayal!" Teplon roared.

"At this point, you two should stop biting each other like dogs and think about what to do next."

The Yanlong people didn’t give them the chance to waste words, and took them out of the container.

At this time, the boat that was responsible for the handoff was ready, and smoothly took them away.

As dawn was breaking, the group reached the shore.

Ning Che led people from Group Three to receive them at the shore, and then took them back to the Central Guards Brigade.

As for how to handle things afterwards, that would be up to Liu Hong and the others to decide.

But for the Central Guards Brigade, the most exciting part wasn’t capturing the Storm Team and the Special Service Team Three, but retrieving the special mineral from the island.

"When you discovered these things, did anything unusual happen?" asked the leader of Group Seven, Chen Shengli.

"What do you mean by unusual?"

"Take Bath ore for example, it can release oxygen. The most direct impact is that the creatures living nearby experience some degree of gigantism."

Looking at the minerals Lin Yi and the others brought back, Chen Shengli said:

"If it has some magical functions, there should be accompanying phenomena."

Hearing this, Lin Yi and Liang Xianghe started to contemplate.

"I remembered something," Lin Yi said:

"This thing seems to have the effect of repelling beasts."

"Repelling beasts?"

Lin Yi nodded, "We found it in the Kandaya Ruins and it was hidden very well,

At that time, the entrance to the ruins was open, but no beasts went in, not even mosquitoes, though there were some beast skeletons inside the ruins,

However, after we took the mineral away, the beasts from the forest started to enter the ruins one after another, so this effect can be confirmed."

Chen Shengli pondered after hearing Lin Yi’s words.

"So you’re saying, this stone might release a special scent that prevents beasts from entering the ruins."

"That’s quite strange. If it’s just for repelling mosquitoes, it shouldn’t be so deeply hidden," Liang Xianghe said.

"But for now, we’ve only discovered this bit of peculiarity, everything else seems quite normal," Lin Yi said:

"However, I think the murals on the walls might have special meanings, if they can be deciphered, they might be greatly useful."

"Work on those matters is already underway," Chen Shengli said:

"Moreover, the book you brought back earlier was also found in the Kandaya Ruins. There might be some connection between the three."𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Lin Yi nodded in agreement, considering this idea plausible.

"I think we should focus on the genetic aspects," Lin Yi said:

"With the technology mastered by Tilia Island, a stone that merely repels mosquitoes wouldn’t even be considered an oddity in the ordinary world, there’s no way they’d value it so highly."

"Calling it mosquito repellent is belittling it; it’s preventing wild beasts," Liang Xianghe said.

"It’s all the same; this kind of function hardly makes the grade."

"Alright, I’ll take note of this," Chen Shengli said:

"Keep your phones on in the near future, I might call you anytime."

"No problem."

While speaking, Lin Yi glanced at the mineral.

"Brother Chen, do you mind if I take a piece of that?"

"What do you need it for?"

"It’s summer, lots of mosquitoes. I’ll take it home to repel them."

"Don’t fool around," Chen Shengli laughed and said:

"We haven’t figured out its exact effects yet. If it contains harmful substances, you’ll be weeping with no place to tune."

Lin Yi rubbed his chin, "That’s true."

After chatting with Chen Shengli for a while, Lin Yi and Liang Xianghe left.

"What’s your follow-up plan?" Lin Yi asked.

"We’ll rest for a few days, then we’ll have to go back."

"Is there such a rush?"

"With Storm and the Special Service Team Three captured, aside from the Gongyuan Association, nobody’s left to fight us. Maybe we can get more things done during this time."

"That makes sense."

After a brief chat, the two parted ways, Lin Yi returned to the administrative building to meet with Group One.

"Lin Bro, any new arrangements?"

"Not for now, everyone go home and spend time with family, rest well. In about two months, we’ll head back to the island."

"Understood."

After dismissing Group One, Lin Yi greeted Liu Hong and left the Central Guards Brigade.

Then he bought some fruits and habitually went to see Liang Xianghe.

When the two met, they didn’t talk much about work-related matters.

Lin Yi cooked a few side dishes, and the two had a few drinks, spending most of their time chatting about mundane matters.

At the same time, Lin Yi also asked Liang Xianghe about the plan to flatten the Kandaya Forest and received a definitive answer from him.

Lin Yi held his wine glass in silence for quite a while.

Liang Xianghe noticed all of this, smiling gently:

"Having a hard time accepting it? You don’t seem like the indecisive type."

After coming back, Liang Xianghe was the first person to arrive at Liu Hong’s place.

Besides visiting his master, he also talked to him about Lin Yi.

She’s very worried that Lin Yi might have psychological issues, which is quite common in a place like the Central Guards Brigade.

So Liang Xianghe was conducting the first test.

"Not to the point of indecision, but such actions feel like the downfall of a nation," Lin Yi leaned back in his chair, holding a glass of pristine white liquor, saying:

"Thinking about it makes me feel that the so-called Forest Law, Animal Protection Law are just empty words."

"In a way, that’s a fair assumption," Liang Xianghe said:

"But in this matter, your starting point is flawed."

"Where is it flawed?"

"Only things that are ours are worth protecting," Liang Xianghe replied:

"Sharing as a virtue doesn’t exist in human nature. It’s a lie the upper class tells the lower class."

Lin Yi held his glass in silence.

"You need to understand, if you don’t do it, others will, and they won’t even give you the chance to be a good person,"

After a pause, Liang Xianghe continued:

"Sometimes, they won’t even give you the chance to be a person."
