On the road, Gao Xin stepped on the Throne, bringing five people along, but Milan was all alone.
So Gao Xin asked, "Is no one accompanying you? Quinn isn't coming?"
Milan laughed while riding a motorcycle, "Quinn never escapes; he's the head of Holy War Army stationed at Crime Prison Island. What's he escaping from?"
"If he didn't want to come, he wouldn't have set foot on the island in the first place."
Saying that, the group flew southwest along the coast.
Sure enough, they didn't see the fleet along the way.
Occasionally, they would encounter Reconnaissance Angels; these were the True Elephant Level little Angels that Gao Xin had defeated at Garbage Mountain in the past.
The Navy gave way, but only for Milan, not entirely withdrawing their forces.
Moreover, they need to monitor whether Milan has left.
"Don't destroy these Reconnaissance Angels, just dodge them."
"Once these Angels see me, they'll know we've left, and the Navy will reseal this sea area afterward."
Milan said, twisting the handle to speed up, bypassing the Reconnaissance Angels blocking the road.
Crime Prison Island lies in the middle of the South Pacific, and the group flew southwest over a hundred kilometers, with no land in sight in any direction.
They only felt the vast and boundless sea around them, filling their hearts with joy.
"Ah! The ocean is really beautiful."
"The feeling of not seeing land is so exhilarating!"
Gao Shu was no longer flying along the sea but was immersed in the ocean, surfing with her face, playing with sea birds and schools of fish.
Most of them had never flown as freely before, with a sense of a caged bird escaping.
Milan, however, remained calm; she often went out.
Upon hearing this, she casually said, "When the sea gets angry, you won't feel it's so great."
"Crime Prison Island used to be the homeland of a small nation in the Pacific. Back then, there were many archipelagos scattered around."
"Now you can't see any other land because they've all been submerged by the sea."
Everyone was taken aback, and Gao Xin asked, "Who did this? Was it caused by world war? Did AI use environmental weapons?"
Milan gave him a look, "Where did that come from? The AI warfare late in the Third World War was primarily machine against machine; damaging the environment only harms humans and doesn't aid AI warfare."
Gao Xin responded with an "oh": "So it's a natural disaster then?"
Milan scanned the vast sea: "Kind of, I remember the mid-twenties when a century tsunami occurred; our parents knew about it. I heard of it as a child; you guys were too young to know."
"That tsunami was triggered by the movement of the Pacific and Southeast Asia's underwater plates, engulfing countless islands and raising new land."
"Countless lives were lost, and even nations disappeared overnight."
Luo Yan and others were stunned: "Mid-twenties? That's ages ago, before the Third World War even started."
Milan shrugged, "Some say that disaster indirectly triggered the later Third World War, unleashing various human conflicts."
"In any case, after that disaster, Crime Prison Island became isolated offshore, with numerous small islands all gone."
"The nearest large island to Crime Prison Island is 1200 kilometers away—Caledonia, which is also the Pacific Naval Headquarters."
"We're heading in its direction now, and after passing the naval headquarters, another 1500 kilometers will reach the Australia Continent."
Everyone exchanged looks; it's indeed so far.
Crime Prison Island is just over a hundred kilometers at its longest east to west, yet the nearest island is 1200 kilometers away.
"I'm not going to Australia; shouldn't we be flying north now?" Gao Xin said.
"Let's wait a little longer." Milan continued to lead the flight until they hadn't seen the little Angels blocking the way for quite a while.
She then said, "Now it's okay, we've crossed the blockade zone of the Sin Prison Island Navy."
Speaking, she clicked twice on her motorcycle and quickly projected a high-definition map before her.
On the map, it showed them located east of Caledonia Island, a vast stretch of ocean, with no markings on the map.
Clearly, Milan's motorcycle navigation map was from the external society, which wouldn't standardize the location of Crime Prison Island.
Thus, on the map, this area was all seawater, with nothing present.
Milan unfolded the map, pulling it upwards while asking, "Where are you heading? The Emperor Penguin's territory is incredibly expansive."
Gao Xin tilted his head: "How big is it? I'm really not sure."
Milan turned back with a smile: "The twenty giant enterprises carved up the globe, establishing 10,800 City States post-war, each averaging 540 City States. As for towns, private estates, secret bases, they're countless."
As she spoke, Milan presented the Emperor Penguin's map.
540 Cyber cities, varying in size, the grandest like a City in the Sky, the smallest silver brilliance suspended at sea.
Truly distinctive, catching everyone's gaze.
Especially Gao Shu, who had never lived outside before, was completely in awe.
"Wow wow wow! Such beautiful cities everywhere!" Gao Shu had never seen anything like it.
Gao Xin, however, remained calm: "I want to go to Shangqiu City."
Milan clicked once and said, "Eh? Why can't I find it?"
Gao Xin widened his eyes: "Can't find it?"
He quickly scanned around, soon locating his city, pointing at it, saying, "Isn't this it?"
Milan zoomed in on it: "Oh, it's renamed now; it's called Chaoge."
Gao Xin shrugged, "Why did they rename it just out of boredom?"
Milan searched and said, "The City State upgraded; it's now ranked as the Emperor Penguin's third-largest city, with its administrative level upgraded to accompany the capital."
