Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1492 Another ghost ship?
Li Chengxi felt that it would not be difficult for Viola to pass through this border fortress. In the long run, taking over the three provinces she mentioned would not be a big deal either.

After all, the Subia Demon Kingdom is now being attacked from both sides, and the soldiers' fear of Avarus has almost reached its peak. Once the battle starts, they will lose all their morale and only care about running away. It will be impossible for them to win.

Moreover, it was said that the Avarus Navy, which had been sitting idle in the port, had begun to assemble and was heading towards the coast of the Subia Demon Kingdom.

Even if Li Chengxi didn't take action, it shouldn't be difficult for Viola to attack the fortress.

In line with the idea of ​​​​avoiding strong intervention unless necessary, Li Chengxi simply took a look at Viola and did not take any drastic action.

As for Yang Yiyi, nothing should happen in the next few months unless there is an emergency.

Although the scale of the war on Alyssa's side is huge, the Swan cannot fight every day. It is currently advancing steadily towards the capital of the Red Maple Republic. When needed, Li Chengxi can go over to help.

In other words, it was time to idle again, and Li Chengxi basically just watched.

I was just thinking of finding anime to kill time when my cell phone rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was a WeChat message from Gan Xiaoyan, asking if Li Chengxi was at home.

It feels like something else is coming.

Li Chengxi's premonition was very accurate. He just replied "I'm at home", Gan Xiaoyan said "I'll come to you right away", and less than a quarter of an hour later, the doorbell rang.

You came in such a hurry, there must be something wrong.

After opening the door, Li Chengxi saw that in addition to Gan Xiaoyan, there were two black SUVs parked at the door.

Moreover, Lei Lei was there too.

This made Li Chengxi a little confused.

Even though Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan have a good relationship, Lei Lei always reminds Li Chengxi not to agree to everything from Section 9, as they may easily get too demanding.

It's not new for them to be together, but it's rare for them to come together for the mission of the Ninth Department.

"I've been assigned an urgent mission...Brother Li, are you free recently?"

There must be some free time, so Li Chengxi asked the two to come in first.

After giving them some juice, Li Chengxi asked:
"What's going on?"

"It's not complicated. To put it simply, a ghost ship was discovered in the waters of our country."

Another ghost ship?

"The trouble is, we know nothing about this ghost ship."

"I remember that all ships should be registered, right?"

"Well, the coast guard has checked it. It's not in the registration records. It's a ghost ship that drifted over from another country."

"Has anyone gone up there?"

"No, to be more precise, we were not able to get on board. When the coast guard found it, they tried to call out, but no one responded. Then they decided to send a speedboat to take a look. As a result, as soon as the speedboat was launched, a thick fog arose in the surrounding sea area, and the ghost ship disappeared in the thick fog."

That sounds spooky.

"After that, many ships encountered ghost ships. The news was eventually reported to Section 9, and the General Administration decided to send someone to take a look."

"It doesn't sound like it's anything too troublesome."

Although it is a ghost ship that will suddenly disappear, it does not pose any threat for the time being. And the reason why it disappears may just be that no professionals have figured out the reason. If Section 9 sends someone to take a look, they should be able to figure it out.

"The trouble is, the same ship shows up in different locations around the world."

"what does this mean?"

Gan Xiaoyan took out a photo from her arms. On it was a cruise ship that looked very much like the coal-burning ones from the last century, but the photo was in color and was taken this month.

"This photo was taken by our colleagues in Denmark in their waters. Brother Li, take a look at the detailed time of this photo. If you take into account the time difference, it is exactly the same as the time when the ghost ship appeared in our waters. After communication, we confirmed that even the time of disappearance is the same."

"You mean, the same ship appears in different locations around the world at the same time?" "Yes."

This is a bit interesting.

"Based on the current intelligence, we have demarcated the approximate range of where the ghost ship appears. It seems to have a regular pattern. We know nothing about it now, so it is difficult to guarantee whether it will cause a shipwreck in the future."

This is indeed something that Section 9 needs to consider. If this ghost ship simply appears or disappears, then it would be fine. However, if it appears and disappears globally, the impact will be too great and we must figure it out.

"How about just blowing it up? It looks like just an old cruise ship."

"The Navy tried, but couldn't. Physical weapons would go right through them."

Li Chengxi roughly understood what Gan Xiaoyan wanted to do here. He pondered and said:

"What do you need me to do?"

"I'd like to ask Brother Li to help hold the fort. It's hard to say what will happen in this completely unknown situation. I think with you here, at least safety is guaranteed."

The most capable fighter Gan Xiaoyan had ever seen was Li Chengxi. When the General Administration ordered someone to go over and take a look, Gan Xiaoyan's first reaction was to find Li Chengxi as external aid.

"I don't mind. I haven't had anything to do lately."

There was indeed nothing wrong, but Li Chengxi turned to look at Lei Lei who had been silent.

"Are you going too?"

Lei Lei shrugged:

"Didn't the Ninth Department help us deal with the Lingbao Heavenly Palace matter before? I received a letter from my hometown asking me to help the Ninth Department, so I came here."

It's the ways of the world. If you give me a hand and I give you a hand, then the job will be done.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but this time I want to be paid in advance."

"Brother Li, what do you want?"

"Get me some weapons and equipment or something."

Gan Xiaoyan said hesitantly:

"Brother Li, we in Section Nine cannot make decisions on arms matters."

"It's not munitions, but some cold weapons. A long sword and shield will be fine, right?"

Li Chengxi originally wanted to ask the Ninth Department to help him get a few cannons, as international aid, so he could learn more about it.

But Qian Sen refused to give in, and Section 9 really had no say in the matter.

But when I heard it was a long sword and shield, it wasn't impossible.

With the processing capabilities of modern industry, it is easy to make this kind of cold weapon. Just get some steel and stamp it into shape in one go. As long as you have the mold, you can make as many as you want.

The most important thing is that this thing is not taboo. After all, our country has extremely strict management of firearms, which is different from the nationwide gun war in America.

So when Gan Xiaoyan heard this, she called Qian Sen to report it and immediately nodded in agreement:
"No problem, Brother Li, do you have the drawings? If you do, we can help you find someone to make the mold."

"I'll tell you the pattern when I get back."

Li Chengxi didn't know the specific pattern, so he would ask Viola later.

Li Chengxi wanted these swords and shields because he saw that many soldiers in Viola's army were using very old weapons. Viola was not short of supplies now, but weapons and equipment could only be made by blacksmiths hammering them one by one, and the supply speed was still relatively slow.

Thousands and tens of thousands of swords were a huge burden for Viola, and their quality was just so-so.

But here on Earth, such a small thing can be made in any factory, so it’s not a big deal.
