Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

She might find it interesting to kill her opponents, but what if she sees her fellow countrymen dying in the disaster created by the monsters?

She had no idea that Zhang Chaoqiang, also 12 years old, could adapt so calmly to such a disaster scene, something that even customers like Zhu Bobi couldn't achieve.

Zhang Chaoqiang's task suddenly expanded from quelling the beast plague to include an additional task: helping Tan Yue adapt to reality as much as possible.

He suddenly realized that this might also help him complete his role as a "mentor" incidentally.

As the strongest member of the team, he decided to take the lead and venture into the sea to explore.

And he took Tan Yue to the sea.

Chapter 128: What kind of behavior is it to be happy when your student gets humiliated?

The lighting around Island A3 is fairly adequate.

However, in terms of the extent of its spread, it naturally cannot spread to the very depths of the ocean.

It was already late at night. Because the island was attacked by monsters yesterday, the islanders were terrified, and some had even moved to the inner islands.

The closer to the human border, the greater the likelihood of being affected.

While many islanders evacuated A3 Island, Armin, the island's leader, remained steadfastly stationed there.

A pair of hands, as stiff as withered wood, worked with Che Zhen, Cheng Liang, and Liu Daniu to maintain the construction.

After setting up some basic border security facilities, Cheng Liang, who had some understanding of circuit integration principles, meticulously readjusted the alarm circuits.

When they asked about the island's security personnel, Armin sighed, "They all went to see the water god yesterday..."

It roughly means the same thing as what they mean by going to see God.

Not the customer's God, but the real God, which means he's dead.

"But Hagen, after all, isn't a small country among border states, right? It shouldn't lack basic security and armed personnel, should it?"

Aside from the most basic signs of rescue efforts, no other armed security personnel were found on the island.

As guardians of the village, these strong and well-paid individuals, while capable of defending against attacks from monsters, can at least help spread the word.

It can promptly warn and evacuate islanders when danger is imminent, thus serving a surveillance function.

Armin remained silent, as if deliberately avoiding the topic. He simply buried himself in his work, reorganizing and collecting the scattered security supplies.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Che Zhen and the others, being perceptive, thought that they had said something wrong.

But if Zhang Chaoqiang were there, he might be able to detect it through his experience and his [sense of monsters].

One can more or less guess why there are no more armed personnel belonging to the Hagen State here.

One word: save. Two words: reluctant to part with.

Since the difficulties were reported to the international community and the Central Country sent people to help, the Hagen Country naturally wanted to minimize its own losses.

As high-quality young and middle-aged armed personnel, they belong to the country of Hagen; people are money, they are resources.

Their mentality might be that someone will come to help their country anyway. Fearing further losses, the Hagen border states simply provide them with nothing, relying on the global community of shared interests.

Their demise signifies a further step forward in the realm of the demonic beasts.

Therefore, border countries must never be completely conquered; otherwise, what follows will be the clarion call for a formal war between humans and monsters, a pure disaster for the people of the world.

In any case, as long as Hagen was assured that it would receive help and that the country would not be completely overrun, it was unwilling to waste a single soldier.

Even the islanders rarely appeared in front of them, let alone communicated with them. From the moment Zhang Chaoqiang arrived on the island, he sensed this somewhat strange atmosphere.

On the first night, there were eleven teams, including the team led by Zhang Chaoqiang, who was in the first year of high school.

They accomplished the most basic task: temporarily restoring the island to its normal appearance and state.

To investigate and protect the monsters' objectives.

As a task that high school students are allowed to accept, it shouldn't be too complicated if you think about it.

However, many people showed signs of depression when they saw the destruction caused by the monsters.

Like the hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the Central Kingdom, the common people of Hagen are also ordinary, making a living through labor and intellect.

However, being located on the border, they were worlds apart from the stable and harmonious Central Kingdom.

They lived in constant fear that their lives would be devoured by monsters while they were out fishing at sea, but fear could not cure their hunger.

They worship the water god, and whether they get up in the morning or go to bed at night, before eating or drinking, they murmur to themselves, showing respect and prayer to the water god.

The content of their prayer was that they should not see the water god.

The implication is that he hopes to be safe and sound.

About a hundred students were on different islands, where they had prepared places to stay. They usually stayed in the homes of the islanders who had evacuated earlier.

Or it's a watchtower.

The watchtowers were built with funds from the Northern Feng Kingdom. They were built on eleven islands located on the edge of the monster's territory to serve as constant warnings and sentries. Unfortunately, when the disaster struck, there was no time to call out and the casualties were already heavy.

However, the watchtower used a special metal material and even had a metal pillar extending into the ground, so it's likely that the entire island would be swept away and destroyed by the monsters...

The watchtower will likely remain unscathed.

Ma Wen, Ma Wu, Zhu Bopi, and the others had finished tidying up the granary in the northwest. They had pulled out some fish; if things didn't go smoothly at sea tomorrow, they would have to use fish food to attract the attention of the sea creatures.

The whole world knows that Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue are going to be the first to check the situation in the waters around A3.

Why is the water in the distance black?

In response to Tan Yue's question, Zhang Chaoqiang retorted, "How old are you? How can you still ask such a question?"

The light source couldn't reach the distant sea, so it was naturally pitch black. Let's go. According to what we learned in the monster class, the border of Hagen is located in a blue sea landscape.

This type of sea area is mainly inhabited by two common types of monsters: sea dragons, cement worms, and sharp-toothed sharks.

These three types of monsters each have their own characteristics. The sea dragon is agile and has a strong affinity for water. The cement worm often hides in the mud and sand on the seabed and usually ambushes its prey.

The sharp-toothed shark has a powerful bite force, and its single-target attack is the strongest among the three types of blue ocean terrain.

"So Zhang Chaoqiang, you suspect that the tsunami was mainly caused by the sea dragon?"

"Yes."

"It's a pity that the islands can't share information, otherwise we could know what kind of disasters exist on the senior's island."

Marine mammals also have specific requirements regarding their habitats, but this is something to be aware of. They each have their own designated territories.

It is highly likely that the waters near A3 Island are inhabited by sea monsters such as sea dragons.

The rewards for this so-called mission are only basic cultivation resources. However, the quantity is quite large, so Zhang Chaoqiang has to take it seriously.

Zhang Chaoqiang believed that there was no need to buy these so-called cultivation resources with money, because it would take him quite a while to fully digest them.

The resources provided by the school alone are more than enough for my current level of development to squander and consume at will.

Wearing a water snake armor, Zhang Chaoqiang carried Tan Yue on his back and flew across the sea.

Lighting equipment should be the most basic weaponry in every suit of armor, with searchlights shining on the sea surface.

A salty sea breeze gently rippled across the surface of the sea, which was somewhat murky. Even Zhang Chaoqiang, with his extraordinary senses, could not clearly see the underwater conditions.

The seascape was incredibly quiet, with only the occasional sound of waves. If it weren't for Tan Yue's furrowed brows and the images of the island's ruins constantly echoing in her mind, coupled with her knowledge that many monsters lurked beneath the sea, posing numerous dangers, she would have been completely at ease.

At this moment, lying on Zhang Chaoqiang's back, who was dressed in armor, she probably did feel a bit romantic.

"Tan Yue, equip yourself with the armor, let's go deeper into the sea and take a look."

Zhang Chaoqiang stopped Tan Yue from taking out the Inkfish Armor and instead equipped her with the Water Serpent Armor, tightly wrapping her up.

"My mental level isn't high enough to control the armor, so you should wear it. I'll just be a burden to you!"

Tan Yue knew that this was because Zhang Chaoqiang didn't want her to get wet. When her protests were ignored, Zhang Chaoqiang grabbed her hand, took a deep breath, and went straight into the sea.

Zhang Chaoqiang's current excellent internal organ index gives him a powerful respiratory system coordination ability.

I'm sure I can easily hold it in for half an hour.

And this was all under the conditions of intense physical activity. Upon entering the seabed, an astonishing sight unfolded before their eyes.

What lies submerged on the seabed is endless garbage—household waste, construction waste, and so on—as well as some large bones, perhaps human, perhaps those of monsters.

The reason why the seawater is so murky is most likely due to this garbage.

Tan Yue couldn't move, so Zhang Chaoqiang pulled her along, swinging her legs and using her left hand to doggy-paddle, swimming very fast, his attention always focused straight ahead.

In the ocean, the range of light is even more limited. Relying on his sense of space and eyesight, he carried Tan Yue directly towards the depths.

"Strange, we've been wandering around for so long, how come there hasn't been a single sound?"

Then he prepared to spread his sense of smell to the monsters, sacrificing accuracy and speed of reaction to expand the range so that he could roughly sense even the slightest movement.

swish swish...

Good heavens, the moment the sensory system kicked in, it started acting up. Its keen perception detected a sound coming from the seabed directly in front of it, a seabed littered with trash.

"Let's go up first..." Zhang Chaoqiang felt something was strange. His sense of smell was very vague, and it didn't seem like there was only one. So he pulled Tan Yue and prepared to stay on the seabed.

Since the cement worms weren't the target this time, Zhang Chaoqiang still planned to search for traces of the sea dragon.

"careful!"

The searchlight on Tan Yue's chest suddenly swept across a long strip of darkness, followed by the sound of water sloshing around her ears, and the dense bubbles and trembling.

Looking down, several cement worms, with sharp mouthparts about half a meter in diameter and flexible bodies that could extend and retract, lurked in the seabed garbage heap and strangled Zhang Chaoqiang.

Zhang Chaoqiang gently pushed Tan Yue away and faced underwater.

At this moment, the shadowy figures had already twisted Zhang Chaoqiang into a knot, seemingly intending to kill him in the most painful way.

"Pretty!"

clap clap clap...

At the same time, in the Central Country, 20,000 kilometers away, at the Yuhua Martial Arts School, a group of school leaders, represented by Principal Su Huoyin, gathered.

The provincial leaders of Linhai Province of the Central State, who issued this mission, and the Extraordinary Administration Bureau are following up on the situation of the students participating in this mission.

The satellite images are even able to see the underwater conditions through the murky sea surface. Although they are not as clear as 2K quality, they are not as blurry as some of the older V-series cameras.

When Su Huoyin saw Zhang Chaoqiang being strangled by several cement snakes, he burst into heartfelt joy.

The director of the Extraordinary Administration Bureau of Linhai Province and other provincial leaders looked at Su Huoyin as if he were a fool.
