Chapter 779 Return
? The attackers were the Poison Arrow Mercenary Group, which belonged to the Arrow Military Company registered in Madagascar.
Speaking of which, this company had some issues with Xin Guo before. The Philippines once hired him to take military action against Xinguo, openly committed murder on the street, and tried to kidnap Jiang Chen. Although the team sent to Koro Island was wiped out on the island, and Jiang Chen later dismembered this rogue-like country by supporting the Moro National Liberation Organization, but for this military company located in Africa, He never paid much attention to it.
This time, they were employed by the Freemasons and launched an attack on Jiang Chen and others who were exploring the polar regions, killing five sea lions in battle, and the other five were also injured to varying degrees...but the blood debt has been paid in blood.
After using Veritaserum to obtain information from several captives, Jiang Chen ended their suffering.
After using EMP to clean up the electronic equipment on the polar research ship and eliminate the possibility of being located, Jiang Chen drove the ship to the open sea. After putting down the speedboat on the ship and installing bombs on the deck to blow it up, he drove the speedboat back to the side of the polar car on the shore, put the speedboat into the storage space, and then drove back to the polar car camp.
Facing the head of the inspection team's question about the casualties of the Sea Lion Special Forces, Jiang Chen did not make any response, but only reasoned that there was a storm.
Although the wounds on Garrett and the others don't seem to be caused by "hail" at all...
After returning to the Antarctic Gull Research Station, Jiang Chen went straight back to the boat and locked himself in his room.
Freemasonry, Rothschild, Arrowhead Military Company, Golden Apple, 1g antimatter... All these keywords are entangled together. Now he needs to sort out the information and think about future countermeasures.
"Freemasonry?" Jiang Chen squeezed the ring in his hand, observing the lines on it.
This ring was taken from that Griffin's hand, with two opposite "V"s and a capital "G" in the middle. Just looking at the pattern, Jiang Chen couldn't see why. It should be the symbol of Freemasonry or something.
Shaking his head, Jiang Chen put the ring aside.
One thing is certain is that there must be a connection between Rothschild and the Freemasons, and it is very likely that Rothschild told the Freemasons the purpose of his trip to Antarctica. On this point, it can be drawn from Griffin's soliloquy.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"who?"
"it's me,
Marshall. "Marshall's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
Pushing open the door, Marshall walked into the room, looking at Jiang Chen with a nervous expression.
Anyone else would be nervous, especially seeing those wounded special forces and the five bodies in body bags, and they don't know what these people have been doing for nearly twenty-four hours.
"You, are you looking for me?"
Jiang Chen glanced at Marshall, and he read the nervousness from his pupils.
But Jiang Chen didn't care, just smiled, paused for a moment, and said in a calm tone, "Get ready, we will leave in five hours and return to Koro Island."
Slightly stunned, Marshall continued to ask.
"What about the members of the inspection team?"
"What should I do?" Jiang Chen said.
The goal of the Freemasons is only him, and there is no reason to attack the research station extravagantly and make a big news internationally. If he stayed here at this time, it would bring danger to the members of the inspection team. The only thing he has to do now is to return to the new country as soon as possible. Only there is an absolutely safe place.
"But……"
Although there are many questions to ask, Marshall's intuition tells him that it is better not to say anything superfluous at this time. The more you know, the more dangerous you are, as it is always done in movies.
"……yes."
All the confusion was reduced to one word, Marshall nodded in response, turned and left the room.
Early the next morning, Pathfinder was preparing to return.
After what happened, the members of the inspection team felt deeply uneasy about staying here. This anxiety stemmed from the fear of the unknown. They didn't know what exactly Jiang Chen encountered in the hinterland of Antarctica, and they were not sure whether they would encounter it too.
After some deliberation, Jiang Chen finally decided to order the research station to evacuate temporarily.
Although the Freemasons had no reason to take action against the ordinary scientific researchers of these expeditions, since they planned to explore the fortress in the hinterland of Antarctica, they would definitely log in at Goodenough Point, and there was still a possibility that the two sides would meet.
Just over a month away from June, when the polar night phenomenon will make Antarctica extremely cold, the climate here will no longer be suitable for scientific research activities. It is only more than a month too early to evacuate now.
After locking the equipment, He Gaoyang finally boarded the polar research ship. Captain Marshall put away the anchor chain and ordered the Pathfinder to set sail, ending the short Antarctic trip ahead of schedule. As for what danger he encountered in Antarctica, Jiang Chen explained that he met kidnappers who were fully armed. Those people knew that he would go to Antarctica, so they deliberately waited for him in Antarctica...
Very far-fetched reason.
He didn't know if such an explanation was convincing, but at least it could reduce unnecessary speculation.
After returning, he will order someone to sign a confidentiality agreement with the members of the inspection team and the crew of the Pathfinder to suppress this matter.
The two-week voyage is long, but it is also very stable. Jiang Chen originally thought that he would be chased and intercepted by the Freemasons, but in fact they didn't encounter any trouble, except for a few storms with lightning and thunder.
Griffin's ship was bombed and sunk, and the Freemasons didn't even know that Jiang Chen and others had left Antarctica. It was at least two weeks before they realized Griffin was dead. The search for the sunken polar research ship may take days or even months depending on the character.
Even if they learned that Jiang Chen had left Antarctica through intelligence analysis, they would have to face two choices—whether to search for Jiang Chen's traces in the Pacific Ocean, or focus all their energy on investigating the fortress in the hinterland of Antarctica superior.
But any normal person would not choose the former, because it is almost an impossible task. Even with the help of satellites, it is not an easy task to locate a survey ship that is only 100 meters long on the vast sea. . But if they choose the latter, they are destined to get nothing.
The suitcase containing the antimatter had already been taken away by Jiang Chen. In the entire bunker, apart from a lot of equipment that could be entered into the museum, there was only the "radio station" that could communicate with the survivors in the void.
Jiang Chen didn't take the "radio station" away. The "ghost" had clearly told him that they no longer had enough energy to interfere in the more distant future. And that 1g of antimatter is the last help they can give to the people on the B world line.
After removing some parts, he left the basement.
Leaving that "radio station" here can actually confuse the Freemasons' vision and divert part of their energy to the machine that has lost its function.
However, compared to the troubles from the inside of humans, what Jiang Chen cares more about is the "gift" he got from the void.
The antimatter weighing about 1g may be hope... (to be continued.)
