75. War
Wherever there are people, there will be Nen users.
Judging from the scene presented by the Botswana tribe in the video, there is likely a Nen user in their tribe who is a Manipulator type, or of course... it could also be a Nen user of another type.
But Long always felt it wasn't that simple...
They traveled from the Republic of Batochia to East Godot, almost traversing the entire continent of Yubian, and it took them half a month to reach a border of this isolated little country.
Looking around, several old buildings and some facilities stand at the foot of the somewhat desolate mountains.
The area within a radius of dozens of miles was surrounded by a long barbed wire fence and barricades, with soldiers patrolling back and forth... The surrounding scenery was acceptable, not particularly pleasing to the eye, but passable.
With mountains and water...
There wasn't a single technological product in sight...
Only inside the checkpoint were a few computers and scanning equipment.
This checkpoint seemed particularly deserted…
There was not a single outside vehicle or person in sight outside the station.
The seven people first settled in a secluded miniature base in the distance, and after making some preparations, they walked over.
At the immigration checkpoint, I was stopped and questioned by soldiers.
After handing over the relevant documents and paperwork, they were taken one by one to a small dark room for a search…
Soldiers must make sure they are not carrying any contraband.
On the surface, the seven people were using the guise of 'business'.
To put it simply, they are preparing to purchase a large quantity of resources from Donggotau.
After working for half a day, and being warned that even though they were outsiders, they would still be sentenced to death if they violated the laws of Donggothia, a soldier finally drove them over the mountain road and stopped at the designated location... saying that someone was coming to pick them up, and then left.
The soldiers weren't worried about them wandering off... There were many restricted areas nearby, and anyone who accidentally entered one would be shot on sight.
Some rules and matters have already been explained in advance.
Anyway... it took a long time for both the beginning and the end.
Getting into the country is extremely difficult.
"This inspection is even stricter than the last time I came... Is it because of the Botswana people?"
Dangri watched the soldiers' vehicle drive away and said something.
Something must have happened in this small country.
Lonely added a voice.
Even if a country closes itself off from the world and doesn't interact with the outside world, basic trade still needs to be done; otherwise, where would the economy come from?
Just like Meteor City... they're also doing business with the yakuza.
Therefore, these entry points must not have been so strictly guarded before... otherwise, someone like Dangri wouldn't have had a precedent for entering the country.
The king of Donggothia indulged in extravagance and recklessly sold off the country's resources at rock-bottom prices... all so that he could have money to squander.
After saying that, Oboro turned around and looked at Hisoka, who had a smile on his face.
"What did you find out?"
He smelled a faint scent of blood.
Hisoka disappeared for a while at the checkpoint, and no one else present noticed except him.
He knew Hisoka had gone to kill someone…
It wasn't his order; this guy acted on his own.
Compared to these outsiders, the locals definitely have a better understanding of the situation in the country.
"Sawtooth Mountains".
Hisoka whispered a location, "That's probably where the Botswana people live... but it seems to be sealed off by the military. The war isn't over yet."
"war?"
Long raised an eyebrow.
From
Judging from the previous videos, the Botswana people did seem a bit strange, but the battle was still a one-sided massacre by the army... the firepower of the two sides was simply not on the same level. Moreover, the video recording has been going on for quite a while... logically speaking, even if it wasn't over yet, it should be nearing its end.
For a small ethnic group to want to compete with a nation-level military force... is a bit of a pipe dream.
Even if Donggothia is weak, it is not something the Botswana people can handle.
“Yes… it’s a war in the literal sense. Those people are pretty formidable… the royal army not only failed to wipe them out, but also seems to have suffered heavy casualties… the battlefield area has expanded several times compared to the beginning, it’s very chaotic… besides the Botswana tribe, some towns on the front lines have also fallen… there are no survivors,” Xisuo said.
"Not a single one alive...?"
Oboro confirmed it.
"That's what that person told me... We'll only know the specifics when we get there..." Hisoka said with a smile.
The other people had different expressions, some were nervous and some were fearful.
Regarding the war... the monarch of Donggothia must have sent a large army, yet they still couldn't wipe out a small tribe.
Moreover, the scope of the impact is far too wide...
How large should the battlefield area be?
"you…"
Oboro glanced at Hisoka.
"Don't worry, I've hidden the body very well; it won't be discovered..."
Hisoka understood what he was going to say and replied jokingly.
Upon hearing this, the three ordinary people from Dangri turned pale... They never expected Hisoka to act so recklessly and without authorization.
If they were discovered by other soldiers, they would be finished.
During their time on the spaceship, the three had relatively little contact with Hisoka, and were always inexplicably afraid of him... Even when Hisoka would take the initiative to be friendly to them and show a smile... they still couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling in their hearts.
Not only the three of them, but even the burly Kagi and his companion were deliberately avoiding Hisoka... They also thought the man was dangerous.
In the team, the only one who directly communicated with Hisoka was the team leader, Oboro.
However, the captain didn't seem to have any intention of restraining Hisoka.
“The Sawtooth Mountains… I’ve heard of them, but I don’t know their exact location. It would be best to find a local to guide us,” Dangri suggested.
"Let's go to the nearest residential area first."
Long gave the order.
"Yes."
Dangri immediately began to lead the way, and after walking for a short while, they entered a narrow side path.
At the same time, they also saw several black dots moving ahead.
They are soldiers with guns.
There should be a sentry post nearby.
Oboro gave Hisoka a wink, and the latter understood immediately. In an instant, he pounced out like a nimble leopard, his speed increasing rapidly... becoming a ghostly figure that moved elusively. He used the playing cards in his hand as sharp knives, easily taking down several targets a hundred meters away.
It didn't even make a sound...
All were fatal with a single, clean strike.
This scene also made the others, except for Long, swallow hard.
This strength is beyond imagination…
As a comrade, I feel reliable... but if I were an enemy...
"His physical strength..."
The pupils constricted slightly.
In terms of talent for Nen training, Hisoka is slightly better than him, but when it comes to physical strength... Oboro has always believed that Hisoka is no match.
But now that I look at it... this guy seems pretty weird too.
Was it a chain reaction caused by myself?
Hisoka was just showing off a little on purpose, to demonstrate to him.
As the six approached, Hisoka vanished in a flash from the playing card he had been holding between his fingers.
After disposing of the body, the group continued on their way.
As darkness fell, after breaking through several soldiers' guard routes, they finally found a small village.
The village houses and living conditions are extremely simple, and every household still retains the most primitive farming tools.
Oboro randomly grabbed an adult male and threatened him with his life, and the man agreed to take him to the Sawtooth Mountains.
Due to the national conditions and laws, the people of Donggothia would avoid people like them who were obviously outsiders.
The authorities do not allow civilians to engage in any negotiations; if caught, they will be imprisoned.
Therefore, it is impossible to buy him with money or benefits.
76. Mysterious Insect
The following day, in a grove of trees under the cover of night, four people, led by Oboro, hid behind the trees, concealing their figures.
They looked down at the army outside a ruined town not far away.
“It really has been sealed off and turned into a restricted area…” Kaki said in a deep voice.
"In addition to the standard firearms and combat uniforms, he was also wearing a white protective suit... This type of clothing is mostly used to resist bacteria or viruses..."
"That's a bit strange..."
Lance, who was also a member of the gang, took a light breath.
