The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

At this moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating almost half of the sky. Immediately afterwards, heavy rain poured down without warning.

"It's raining, run into the cave!" In an instant, everyone quickly and orderly divided into two teams, rushing into the cave to avoid the sudden rainstorm.

"This is too outrageous! First there was no signal, and now the weather is so unpredictable!"

"Everyone must be vigilant and work in groups at night. Don't take it lightly!" Meng Yin said to everyone with a serious expression.

"Yes, General!" the soldiers responded in unison.

After saying that, Meng Yin looked at the cave entrance again. At this time, all the soldiers had entered the cave. The rain outside the cave became more and more fierce, and the bean-sized raindrops fell like blades.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from deep inside the cave: "Ah——"

"Is there an enemy attack? Everyone, please stay hidden, pick up your weapons and stay calm!" Meng Yin stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted loudly to the soldiers inside.

The well-trained soldiers quickly picked up their weapons, formed a circle, and protected Mengyin in the middle.

"Count the number of people!" Meng Yin ordered.

After a while, each team leader began to report the number of people in turn.

"Report to the general, our team is missing two soldiers!"

"Have you found out? Are they the ones who disappeared after getting off the boat, or the two who just screamed?"

"It should be the two people who made the noise just now."

Then, there was another loud rumbling sound from deep inside the cave. Meng Yin pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and his heart suddenly tightened.

It's the sound of a mudslide!
"Oh no! There may be a mudslide in the cave. We have to evacuate quickly, otherwise everyone will be buried alive here!"

"People at the cave entrance should retreat first!" Meng Yin made a prompt decision.

The soldiers immediately filed out in an orderly manner.

The situation is really thrilling!
Just as they all evacuated the cave, the entire cave collapsed.

If it was a second later, they would have been in great danger.

"Rest on the spot and check the equipment! Communicator, contact home immediately and report our current situation to the king!" Meng Yin ordered loudly.

"Yes, General!"

Everyone rested on the spot. Fortunately, this time they brought a more traditional but very reliable communication station in addition to the simple communication equipment - mobile phones.

The communicator sent a signal toward the sky, and soon the communication station began to receive the returned information continuously.

At this moment, a strange "Wow, Wow" sound suddenly rang out, scaring all the soldiers present and making them alert instantly.

"Stay alert!" Meng Yin gave an order, and everyone immediately looked around intently.

At this moment, they seemed to be able to hear even the sound of a needle falling to the ground, and they could react immediately if there was any slight movement around them.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Yang Xia was staring at the map on his phone when suddenly, the small speaker icon on the map flashed, indicating that there was new message.

"System Announcement: Since Island X is full of unknown factors, the exploration mission must be carried out by the player himself!"

"This...what is going on?" Yang Xia couldn't help but feel waves of emotion in his heart.

What kind of mysterious island is it that he needs to go there in person to uncover the secret? Normally, this shouldn't be the case.

Just then, he received an encrypted message on his phone.

This was the emergency contact method that Mengyin told him before the Mengyin team set out. If the equipment they carried could not contact him, they would use this secret device that had been carefully modified to deliver the message.

No matter how hidden the place is or how weak the signal is, this device can accurately send information to the designated person's mobile phone.

The information said that as soon as they landed on the island, the signal was completely cut off, and then they encountered heavy rain. Just now, they also encountered a mudslide and were now trapped on the edge of the island.

They requested further instructions from their superiors.

But even so, the message was not complete.

Yang Xia was puzzled and felt that it was quite strange.

Normally speaking, the things provided by the system have always been quite reliable, but this time it suddenly broke down and became ineffective.

However, he did not take it too seriously. He just thought that perhaps this situation occurred because the situation on this island with the mysterious power "X" was far more difficult and complicated than what he had encountered before.

But right now, he had a bunch of important matters to deal with, and he was too busy to take care of the safety of himself, a one-star general. After all, the people of the Great Zhou were still eagerly waiting for him.

Before I knew it, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, a young eunuch beside him hurried over and reported that Gengzhi and Huaying wanted to see him.

"Oh? They come so late, is there something urgent?" Yang Xia asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed an urgent matter, but they said that they must see you before they are willing to reveal the details, so I didn't dare to ask more questions." The young eunuch replied hurriedly.

"Then go and invite them in." Yang Xia ordered.

The young eunuch received the order and ran out happily. After a while, he brought Gengzhi and Huaying in.

"It's so late, and you two are in such a hurry to come here. Is there something urgent?" Yang Xia looked at the two of them and asked puzzledly.

Normally, even if something really happened, it would have to wait until the next day when the court met to discuss it.

"Your Majesty, this is what happened. A few days ago, we received many documents of friendship and establishment of diplomatic relations from small countries. We have already responded to them formally and officially in accordance with the rules. The content of the response is that within the framework of the position and principles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we are willing to have friendly exchanges with them." Hua Ying stood aside and explained with a smile.

When Yang Xia heard this, he thought this was a good thing.

"This sounds like a good thing, but you two wouldn't come to me in such a hurry just for such a small matter, right?" Yang Xia looked at them in disbelief.

When he was choosing the character's personality, he didn't choose this kind of impetuous and easily startled type.

Why are you rushing here in a panic just for such a trivial matter?

This is not reasonable. "My lord, please don't worry. What I just said is just a brief summary. There are more important things to say later." Hua Ying explained quickly.

"Okay, then go on. I'm listening. Since the small country wants to establish diplomatic relations with us, as long as they are sincere and really want to cooperate, it is not impossible." Yang Xia said.

He knew very well that a weak country had no diplomacy. Moreover, when he first ascended the throne, the Great Zhou Dynasty attracted much attention from all sides. It was reasonable that so many small countries were vying to make friends with us.

"Your Majesty, this is what happened. We have done some research on the backgrounds of these small countries, as well as the people in power in their courts. It turns out that they seem to have something in common." Hua Ying and Geng Zhi both stopped laughing and looked extremely serious.

"Oh? What does that mean? Is there some hidden conspiracy here?" Yang Xia became alert upon hearing this, and thought to himself, could it be that the Atlan Empire is behind this?
Although the country known as the Civilization of Light has not yet had a head-on confrontation with them, Hua Hao privately mentioned to him during the court meeting two days ago that something strange happened that morning.

Thinking of this, Yang Xia suddenly slapped his forehead and secretly said, "Oh no, he actually forgot something extremely important."

So he hurriedly pulled Gengzhi and Huaying and hurried to a remote side hall.

"My king, we haven't finished talking about business yet. Where are you taking us?" Gengzhi looked confused and totally at a loss.

Hua Ying also looked at the side hall in front of them with surprise. They had never been to this place before.

This side hall is located in the farthest corner of the imperial palace, in the southwest corner, and is rarely visited on weekdays.

"That morning, before you entered the door, didn't you notice a suspicious person?" Yang Xia asked as they walked.

"Yes, that's what happened. How is this related to what we are talking about now?" Hua Ying looked at Yang Xia, then at Gengzhi, with a puzzled look on her face.

"According to Hua Hao's speculation, that person is most likely a spy sent by the Atlan Empire. I think what you are going to talk about today is probably related to this country." Yang Xia analyzed.

Gengzhi and Huaying were shocked when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, you are so thoughtful. It's more comprehensive than we thought!" Gengzhi couldn't help but admire.

"If I don't even have this little thought, how can I be the king!" Yang Xia joked with a smile.

After saying this, he stopped chatting with them and directly ordered the eunuch to open the door.

Everyone filed in and found the side hall was pitch black and they could not see anything.

"It's so dark, I can't see anything!" Gengzhi couldn't help but complain.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "click" sound, the light came on, and the whole room became bright in an instant.

"It was dark just now because the lights were not on. If you can see things in this dark place, your eyesight must be better than that of an owl!" Yang Xia joked with a smile.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the layout of the room was very simple. There was only a table in the middle and a chair behind the table. A person was sitting on the chair with his eyes blindfolded and his hands tied behind the chair.

The person's legs were also tied tightly to both sides of the chair, unable to move, and she kept mumbling something. The words sounded like some kind of dialect, but also like she was just talking to herself.

"Who are you?" Hua Ying asked first.

Hua Ying was proficient in the basic language of the Atlan Empire and the surrounding small countries, so she took the initiative to ask questions.

Upon hearing the question from the woman in front of him, the tied man immediately stopped struggling.

Then, she responded in the same language as Huaying.

It seems that the woman was in darkness at the moment and could not see anything. She could only tentatively ask the other party whether he was an accomplice sent by her country to pick her up.

Moreover, although Gengzhi and the others were talking just now, their voices were very low. At such a normal social distance, ordinary people could not hear their conversation at all.

It was also because of this that Hua Ying could communicate with her smoothly in the language of the Atlan Empire.

Afterwards, Hua Ying took out a piece of paper and a pen from somewhere and quickly wrote down the basic information of her communication with the woman on the paper.

Yang Xia looked at the contents on the paper, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"She thinks I'm her accomplice, so should I continue pretending?" Hua Ying looked at Yang Xia and asked.

If I keep pretending, maybe I can find out the real purpose of her trip.

In fact, Yang Xia had not interrogated her in the past few days. On the one hand, it was because he neglected to do so, and on the other hand, he wanted her to relax her vigilance.

Then, Hua Ying started communicating with the woman in that language again, and the conversation lasted for more than ten minutes.

But suddenly, the woman seemed to realize that she was not the only one in the room. She became agitated and began to struggle frantically.

"Oh no, she seems to have figured out my identity!" Hua Ying said hurriedly. As soon as she finished speaking, the woman opposite her twisted her body violently, trying to break free.

"In that case, there's no need for us to pretend anymore. I'm sure you understand what I'm saying!" Yang Xia said calmly.

"Otherwise, your country would not have sent you on such a mission. You must have some extraordinary qualities, but if you are determined to die now, then the words we got out of you before would have been enough to send your country the wrong message. By then, I really don't know whether to blame you or the person who sent you!"

The woman seemed to have really listened to Yang Xia's words, and her body gradually stopped struggling.

Then she started talking to them in unfluent words.

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? Don't even think about getting any more information out of me!"

"We are the Empire of Light Civilization. Compared with small countries like you, our strength is far different!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present, except Yang Xia, showed expressions of shock and anger.

This country is their bottom line, and they will never allow anyone to slander it. If someone dares to do so, they will fight to the death, no matter who the other party is.

Gengzhi could no longer hold back and was about to rush up to fight with the woman, but was stopped by Yang Xia.

"What are you going to do? Rush up and kill her? I'm telling you, this will not help at all!"

"Since they dare to send someone here as an undercover agent, it means they are afraid of our strength. So why don't we use our own tactics against them and make them underestimate us? What do you think?"

After listening to this, everyone thought about it carefully and felt that there was some truth in it, and their emotions gradually calmed down.

"So what? You can't crack our transmission code! Once they find out I'm out of contact, they will definitely send new people over!"

"At that time, they will still be able to obtain first-hand information about you. So, don't waste your energy trying to get information from me!"

"Whether to say it or not is entirely up to me. I have the most advanced technological civilization in the world, and the most intelligent mind!" (End of this chapter)
