Chapter 231 The Mysterious Sea That Eats People
At that moment, Hoan suddenly felt grateful for Goring's arrival, which had helped him out of the predicament.

As soon as Goring pushed open the door, he met Huo An's grateful gaze and looked around in confusion.

What happened? He went out for a short while, and someone impersonated District Chief Huo?
"Uh...sorry, sorry, I just went to pick someone up."

Goring stepped aside slightly, and a man and a woman appeared behind him. They were probably the captain of the guard and the head of the Federation Army.

"Alright, everyone, come in quickly, don't block the doorway."

As the eldest member, Chairman Lucas took the initiative to control the situation.

After all, he had invited Liang He and Huo An this time, and as the middleman, it was necessary for him to build a bridge of communication.

"Greetings, gentlemen. I am Oko, the captain of the guard."

As soon as they sat down, the man among the unfamiliar faces was the first to introduce himself.

Since he is the commander-in-chief of the guard, the other woman must be a member of the Federal Army.

"You're Liang He? I'm Colonel Leila from the Federation, in charge of this operation."

Before anyone could introduce her, Leila took the initiative and immediately targeted Liang He.

She had heard a lot about Liang He from various sources. Leo, who led the Federal Army to support her last time, told her a lot about Liang He's heroic deeds.

As a fellow woman, she admired Liang He.

"Hello, Leila."

Sensing the goodwill emanating from Leila, Liang He didn't mind her directness and instead smiled as she shook hands with Leila's outstretched hand.

After a brief greeting, the staff began serving the dishes in an orderly manner.

"Ms. Lianghe, here are the seafood and vegetables you requested."

A seafood feast specially prepared for Cedril and Langton was also delivered.

"Thank you."

Liang He poured the seafood feast into the special food bowls for Mo Jin Wang Hu and Cang Lan Lie Ying. After she finished, she realized that no one had touched their chopsticks yet and belatedly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm used to letting them eat first, you don't actually need to wait for me."

Feeling helpless, Liang He looked at Huo An beside her, realizing that she had unintentionally become a burden to others.

Huo An, who knew her fairly well, smiled gently and began to help her out of the predicament.

“I think Deputy District Chief Goring would be very happy to learn something from you.”

After all, she was the only caretaker who could feed evolved beastmen.

Goring, who was suddenly called out, was somewhat flattered, but he also knew Hoan's intention, so he nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, we all really hope to learn from Ms. Liang He."

"...Actually, you can just call me Liang He."

Although she was very grateful to Deputy District Chief Goring for helping her out, Liang He really wasn't used to people always calling her Ms. Liang He.

After all, we'll be spending quite a few more days together, so being too polite wouldn't be appropriate.

"Liang He is right. Everyone, please be casual. You are all young people, so just call each other by name."

President Lucas could probably sense Liang He's embarrassment, so he spoke up for her.

Laila and Oko aren't pretentious people, so it's more comfortable for them to get along in a simpler way.

"Alright! Then let's not call each other captains or district chiefs, let's just be direct, and you don't need to call me colonel."

Lyra, the most straightforward of them all, was the first to respond to the call.

Since neither of the two ladies present had any objections, the others certainly wouldn't have any problems either.

The initially stiff atmosphere was broken up and began to warm up. "Sure enough, if you want to build good relationships, you have to eat together."

Deputy District Chief Golin muttered to himself, expressing his approval of Blue Star's dining culture.

As everyone began to enjoy their dinner, when they had almost finished eating, Huo An took the initiative to ask about the strange sea area.

"I heard from Chairman Lucas that the entire guard team that was responsible for patrolling that sea area has disappeared without leaving any information?"

In theory, even if danger is encountered, the guard team should be able to trigger an alarm instantly and automatically transmit the last footage back, facilitating subsequent rescue operations.

But judging from their tone, there's absolutely no news.

"Yes, we're also curious about that."

Oko is the captain of the guard team in charge of the entire reserve, and he should be the most knowledgeable about the situation of the guard team's disappearance.

"The escort team responsible for the G sea area at the time was conducting its usual patrol route..."

Because Skarlan is an ocean planet, the protected area covers a very wide area, and for convenience, it is divided into sections using letters such as A, B, C, D, etc.

The mysterious sea area that led to the disappearance of the escort team is located within the G sea area.

"At first, their communication with headquarters was smooth, and the images from the trackers were normal."

In the sea, it is impossible to install fixed monitors; the only way is to transmit images through trackers.

Before each patrol begins, the guard team responsible for the area maintains contact with headquarters to ensure that they can seek help promptly in the event of danger or abnormality.

"But when they reached that strange sea area, the transmitted images suddenly went black, and they couldn't see anything."

At first, Oko and his friends could still hear faint cries for help, but when they tried to hear more clearly, they could not hear anything at all.

"After realizing that an unexpected situation had occurred, we immediately dispatched the nearest team to provide support."

As expected, despite prior precautions, the incident ended in a disappearance.

The disappearances of two groups of people in succession made the experienced Oko realize the seriousness of the problem instantly.

He wanted to report to the district chief, Polu, but he couldn't get in touch with him no matter what he did, so he could only report the situation to Göring first.

"Because of the disappearance of District Chief Polu, as the deputy district chief, I had no choice but to contact my superiors directly, and they sent Leila instead."

Without leaving behind any useful information or transmitted images, Leila became even more cautious.

Instead of acting rashly at the first opportunity, she consulted with staff members familiar with the situation in the G sea area to understand the situation.

"After figuring out the geography of the G Sea area, I led a small team and boarded a Federation military submarine to approach that strange sea area."

To ensure safety, she also used the strongest metal chains in the Federation Army to connect the submarine and the warship.

If an uncontrollable situation occurs, the naval vessel will directly retract the metal chain and pull the submarine they are on back.

Fortunately, Leila had a backup plan.

Goering still feels lingering fear when he talks about it.

"After they approached that strange sea area, their vision suddenly went completely black, just like the last images transmitted back by the missing guard team."

You can't see anything at all; it's practically pitch black.

"We were sitting in the submarine, but we couldn't see anything, and we kept hearing strange cries for help."

Sharp and piercing, elusive.

Listening to it sends chills down your spine, as if you're being watched by some eerie creature.

"Later, I tried to contact headquarters, but it was no use. The submarine was as if it was being pushed around and was no longer under my control."

Realizing that the situation was likely to get out of control, Leila immediately sent out a signal flare, and the submarine was quickly pulled back by the naval vessel, thus saving its life.
