Chapter 825 Half a Year
For half a year, tens of millions of brave people gathered in the Kajin Empire, looking forward to going to the Dark Continent. The Kajin Empire has announced all the information about the Black Whale.
The immigrant ship Black Whale is comparable to the fish in the North Sea. There is a fish in the North Sea, named Kun, and Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is. It can carry 200,000 passengers and is divided into five major areas. The shape of the entire ship is a round black whale, only on the top of the whale there is a huge pit like a tiankeng, and the shape of the ship's tower is exposed in the pit.
Such a huge Black Whale consumes a lot of energy when it is running, and 200,000 people need a lot of fresh water and food to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, so the bottom area of the Black Whale is the largest, which is the engine and warehouse. The two areas above are where the 200,000 immigrants live, and the second floor is where the crew, researchers and other staff and various research facilities are located. The highest level is where the princes and high-level officials of the Kajin Empire live.
Looking down at the giant ship, it's like the city has extended its tentacles to the sea.
In half a year, there have been several tugs of war between the Bi Yangde forces and the Hunter Association forces. Like the two sides of a coin, there are irreconcilable differences between the two parties.
Biyangde took the initiative to go to the Dark Continent, so he surrendered to the Hunter Association and took himself as a hostage to make V5 compromise with the Kakin Empire and drag the entire Hunter Association into the water.
The difference between the two sides is that Biyangde is eager to go to the Dark Continent, while the management of the Hunter Association, the Twelve Earthly Branches, are completely forced. If there is no Biyangde force, then their hunters will not become cannon fodder.
The wheel of history is hard to resist, and the Twelve Earthly Branches cannot change their fate of going to the Dark Continent, so they can only do their duty to keep an eye on Biyangde and let his every move be under their control, so as to at least reduce the risk.
So this year's Hunter Examination is also surprisingly strict. Kurapika is the invigilator and deletes all people who may be Biyangde's forces to prevent them from sneaking into the Hunter Association to secretly rescue Biyangde. At the same time, Kurapika also conducted a lie detector test on the existing Twelve Earthly Branches and found that the Monkey in the Twelve Earthly Branches is another undercover besides the former Rat. Now only Kurapika and Uguniu know that they are not going to cause trouble and are going to secretly monitor the monkey.
Undercurrents are surging. This is the eternal confrontation between radicals and conservatives. Facing the infinite temptation of the Dark Continent, whether to advance or retreat, whether to go up or stop, everyone has their own considerations.
The Hunter Association needs to consider more, so they are full of worries about this journey.
Duran, who has not appeared for half a year, has appeared. The first thing Duran did when he returned to the Hunter Association was to give the position of president to the vice president, the dog girl Yorkshire.
"Why?" With a stubborn expression that said you have to explain to me, Yorkshire's eyes stared at Duran.
"Because the hunters' telepathy data has been collected, it's a bit unreasonable for me to occupy the position of the Hunter Association president again." Duran laughed. In fact, it was because he would appear as a member of Bi Yangde's side at the launch ceremony the day after tomorrow. It would be inappropriate for him to be the president of the Hunter Association again: "And you have managed the Hunter Association in an orderly manner in the past six months, so promoting you to be the president is not a shady deal, but an affirmation of your work ability."
"...""Do you want to escape at this time?" Yorkshire thought that Duran was an irresponsible escape. Now the Hunter Association and Bi Yangde's forces are incompatible. Although Duran deserves a beating, his strength is indeed what the Hunter Association needs.
"Don't worry, the benefits you hunters enjoy will not change, so the association will be handed over to you in the future." Duran didn't give Yorkshire time to react at all, and he teleported away.
Damn, one or two are so willful, don't they take the affairs of the association to heart? Yorkshire looked at the empty office and stamped his feet in anger. The responsibility is so heavy. The feeling of being an agent and directly becoming the president is completely different. Yorkshire feels like the weight on her shoulders is like a mountain pressing down.
Thinking of the mind chip weapons prepared by the hunters in the past six months, she felt a little better. At least the hunters' ability to save their lives has been improved.
In the past six months, Jin joined the Biyangde forces, out of the surveillance mission of Pariston and the recognition of Biyangde's ideas. Jin Fulishi also hopes to go to the Dark Continent, but he cannot achieve this goal alone. He goes to the Dark Continent not only to satisfy his ambition of "seeing things that have never been seen", but also to find a man named "Dong Fulishi".
Dong Fulishi is the ancestor of the Fulishi family. He went to the Dark Continent three hundred years ago and wrote the East and West chapters of "New World Travel Notes". The East chapter has been completed and has become a must-read Dark Continent strategy book for high-level people such as V5. No one has ever seen the West chapter. Jin gave several explanations: one may be that the book is lost, the second may be that the author died before the book was finished, and the third may be that the West chapter is still being written, and Dong Fulishi is somewhere in the Dark Continent.
As Xiaojie's father, Jin certainly has an optimistic subjective view, so he believes that Dong Fulishi is still alive and is writing the West chapter, so he wants to find his ancestor. It can only be said that the men of the Fulishi family are all optimists. In this case, most people think that the first two possibilities are more likely.
Gin spent a lot of time and energy, using his money offensive and rich hunter knowledge to convince the "special association" under the power of Biyangde. These "hunter reserve forces" who are used to dangerous work have extraordinary abilities. But Jin still replaced Pariston as the second in command of this power. Jin and Pariston have a bit of a sense of nemesis, of course, in the persuasion of the means of doing things. Even if the purpose is the same, their means are still poles apart. Jin will never agree with Pariston's unyielding methods.
This is an era of turmoil, and everyone may be fanatical for a crazy goal.
On the island under the sea breeze, Duran, the president, Kurapika, Hisoka, and Xiaodi stood in front of the spectacular and winding sea train.
"Next, Netero, you have to take Hisoka and Xiaodi on the sea train to the Dark Continent first. And Kurapika, you have to go undercover into the Kajin Empire." "Our goal is to always be one step ahead of them."
No one answered, they were still shocked by the railway floating on the sea with the ups and downs of the sea surface. Why didn't it sink? This was the question in the minds of the four of them.
"Do you have any questions?" Duran said.
In fact, there were many questions, but they didn't know how to start, because they suddenly felt that if they really asked that kind of question, they would look stupid and might be laughed at by Duran.
"Why is the railway floating on the sea?" Finally, it was the natural black drop who asked the question.
"This question is a bit complicated to answer. If you really want to say it, it's because of the material of the railway. This is a solid seawater extracted from the ocean with a composition similar to seawater. You can think so for the time being."
I don't understand, but it probably means that the material of the railway is part of the seawater.
"Just the four of us?" President Netero had a question. He remembered that half a year ago Duran said there would be a team, but he didn't expect that there would be so few members in the end.
"Not a small number, because I prepared a carload of weapons and equipment for the four of you, enough for you to walk sideways in the Dark Continent."
... The four of them didn't believe it.
But Duran did prepare a lot of things. There are various types of armor alone, from single-soldier external skeletons, to fully enclosed armor, and then to combined giant armor, to ensure that they can fly into the sky and travel in the universe, go into the sea to catch dragons, and go ashore to fight monsters, all without any problems.
