Chapter 70 Umbrella

Six operators went to the island together, and with Faust, the non-staff officer, and Lilulu, the non-staff family, there were a total of eight people on the island.

Fox Hunting Island is a very small island in the eyes of a storm. There are only 50 permanent residents. Now the Defense and Suppression Bureau has sent eight people to the island to investigate, and it is almost reaching a proportion of 20% of the island's population.

Faust also felt a little relieved with such personnel.

Even if something happens, it’s probably not my turn and Lilulu.

After leaving the Jade Chou Town Wharf, I took a speedboat and drove out for a day and one night. At dawn the next day, the ship drove into the "safety passage".

The old ship worker said: "The safety passage opened by the Defense Suppression Bureau is time-consuming and labor-intensive. After you get to the front, you can only row your own boat."

Faust said: "Can't you send us to the shore?"

"In the storm, a safe passage is forcibly opened up with extraordinary power. There are strict calculations for how many people can pass through. So I can't enter the safe passage, but it doesn't matter. The safe passage will not be affected by the storm, and there is only about a thousand meters away from the island. Even ordinary people can row in it.

What's more, you trained operators?"

Faust wanted to shout that he was just a non-staff civil servant who came to get subsidies and had never experienced any strict training for operators.

Rowing for one thousand meters is not too difficult, but it is not very good for water and is even a little seasick. It is really difficult...

His face was filled with regret, and Miss Lilulu could only help the useless young master to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Seeing the smaller maid raising her arms and the oars spinning rapidly like a steam paddle wheel propeller, Faust still felt a strong sense of unreality.

The small wooden boat was driven by Lilulu and moved forward rapidly, speeding past the "safety passage" with silver light.

After about half a meter away from both sides of the wooden boat, the storm was still there, and the lightning flashed continuously. The surging waves were rolling around, almost in a state of devouring the boat.

However, after these huge waves encountered the silver light flashing on the "safety channel", their powerful beast-like power melted intovisible. When nothing happened, the tide would automatically fade away and the waves would be sent back.

Not long after, Faust could see the beach of Fox Hunting Island. The light yellow gravel land was now soaked by a large amount of rushing sea water, completely turning into a dark gray color.

“Go ashore!”

With a thud, the ship landed. Only after Faust got ashore and touched the earth with his legs, he dared to speak again in such a shameless manner.

Lilulu finally caught the opportunity to ridicule:

"The young master didn't even dare to say anything on the boat. Are you afraid of seasickness and vomiting? Well?"

"Don't mess with this useless. Let's go ashore and see what it looks like on this isolated island that has been out of control."

Fox Hunting Island used to be a private place for the empire's prominent safaris. The island had very few residents, and most of them stayed on the island just to maintain the hunting ground.

The lounge at the pier, as well as the lighthouse beside the beach, the administrator's room, and from the outside, all classical buildings made of light white marble.

The corridor columns are magnificent, one row after another. Even if the weather is depressing and the heavy rain continues, it looks very comfortable.

"It is worthy of being a tourist destination for the great nobles."

In the rumbling thunder, the shadow of the building hangs on the beach at dawn.

Even at dawn, there is actually no light to see, and it is not much different from the night.

But Faust still saw someone standing up on the wave defense, and the man was holding an umbrella, staring at Faust and Lilulu who had just arrived ashore.

Faust was a little wary: "Are they other operators sent by the Defense Suppression Bureau? Or are they strange beasts after they lost control?"

Not only Faust became so vigilant, but even after Lilulu climbed to the island, she was also infected by the excessive silence and terrible atmosphere everywhere, and she seemed even more alert.

Miss Lilulu carefully rushed behind Faust: "Who is that person?"

Faust held the Swift Sword at his waist with his right hand, ready to be unsheathed at any time, and his left hand opened its long waterproof raincoat and draped it on his body and Lilulu.

"Is it - who? Is it the person who is from the defense and suppression bureau?"

The huge thunderstorm made the umbrella holder who was holding the wave guard and needed to open his voice and shout loudly before others could hear it clearly.

Listening to his voice, it seems that he was one of the eight island landers sent by the Defense Suppression Bureau.

However, Faust still did not relax his vigilance. He carefully maintained a good fighting posture with Lilulu before moving towards the breakwater.

The shouting man was holding an umbrella and was much wet in formal attire, as if he had been waiting for a very long time.

He smiled and said, "You can call me Brother Um. I am the third person to go to the island. You two are the fourth and fifth people."

The identity information of the operators of the Defense Suppression Bureau is confidential. Even if the tasks are intersected, they usually do not directly reveal their identities.

If the mission requires cooperation from multiple parties, the operators of the Defense Suppression Bureau usually use some temporary synonyms to refer to the collaborator.

Before leaving, Shang Boliang handed over to Faust an operator's manual for the Defense Suppression Bureau, which specifically listed the action practices in these tasks.

So after Faust and Lilulu looked at each other, Faust said:

"I'm...well, you can call me a student, just call me a maid."

The student and the maid are the code names of Faust and Lilulu now on Fox Hunting Island.

Brother Um nodded, because the thunderstorm around him was still very loud, he could only speak to Faust in a very loud voice.

"Are there two other operators on that island?"

Faust noticed what "Brother Umbrella" said before. Before he and Lilulu, three of them had already landed on the island.

Faust asked again: "What's going on the island now?"

"Brother Umbrella" held a black umbrella in both hands, leading the way and answering every question from Faust:

"In addition to me, the other two island landers are artillery and firefighters - of course, these are also their synonyms. As for the situation on the island, I don't know whether it is optimistic or pessimistic. What I can tell you is that more than 50 households who originally lived on Fox Hunting Island have all died."

"All dead!?"

Lilulu was frightened and covered her mouth, but Faust questioned:

"All deaths? The cause of the Fox Hunting Island incident was that the surveillance of extraordinary uncontrollable phenomenon occurred here when the Defense Suppression Bureau monitored it. So I think at least one out of the fifty households should be one out of control who did not die."

Brother Um replied: "No, the three people who came to the island first have already cleaned up and sorted out the bodies according to the roster. The identities of all the corpses have been verified, and the number of people is exactly the same as those on the roster. We speculate that the out-of-control extraordinary person should be an outsider on the Fox Hunting Island, not these more than 50 families who have been registered."

Faust is not very familiar with the situation on the island now and is not convenient to express any personal opinions.

He and Lilulu both followed Brother Um to the place where everyone rested, which was the luxurious mansion built on the island for the great nobles who came to hunt.
