Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"To prevent them from getting lost or their bodies from being lost after death, we have implanted signal generators similar to the black boxes of aircraft in their bodies."

"It continuously emits radio waves to the outside world, and as long as it gets close to a certain range, my standard radio receiver will react."

In other words, as long as the search continues,

It will only take a few tens of minutes at most to find Mo Laowu or discover any trace of his activities.

Since she had nothing better to do, Dia simply asked Norb:

"You said you saw prohibited plants here, so you and Mo Laowu split up. You went to find those criminals who use plants to synthesize D2. Did you find anything from that?"

"Well... you could say yes, or you could say no."

After a moment's thought, Norb gave an answer that was nothing but utter nonsense.

This made Pokson subconsciously wonder if he had a fever, and why his words didn't make sense.

Norb quickly explained:

“NGL is a very primitive autonomous region, so the raw materials for those contrabands can only be transported by horse-drawn carriage. I followed the carriage road for hundreds of miles and found the lair of those behind the scenes. It was then that I completely gave up my unrealistic fantasies—that the super drug D2 circulating on the market came from NGL.”

"Their hideouts are small, hollowed-out red clay hills, which is why they can evade repeated detection by international satellites."

"But when I sneaked in, it was completely empty. Apart from bloodstains everywhere, there wasn't a single living person to be found..."

That's why it's said that there was gain, but also no gain.

Dia simply nodded in response, offering no further comment.

Of course he knew the truth behind this matter.

The leader of NGL is a criminal named Zairo, who, due to a traumatic childhood experience, is determined to bring malice to the world.

Essentially, it's a gender-swapped version of Melena without Nen abilities.

However, it's different from the wild idea of ​​killing all of humanity by hand.

Zaylo's method of taking revenge on the world is to stay in NGL and manufacture extremely cheap and perfectly legitimate drugs every day.

Perhaps he wants to make everyone in the world addicted to drugs?

That's probably less feasible than manually killing someone.

Of course, Zairo should now have followed the plot of the original work and become a reclusive chimeric ant.

However, it poses no threat whatsoever.

They sped along for tens of kilometers.

"Have it!"

Norb suddenly perked up, looking at the tablet in his hand:

"We have a signal!"

Diya immediately stood up, stood at the edge of the cloud, channeled her spiritual energy to her eyes, and scanned her surroundings like a hawk.

His eyesight was enhanced by the chanting, and he could even see things tens of kilometers away!

But... I can't find it.

The vast forest is like a green ocean.

Even with Dia's eyesight at its limit, she still couldn't see any trace of Mo Laowu.

The range of signal generators is too wide!

Norb, who was also looking around, discovered this suffocating problem:

"No... the signal generator has a range of 30 kilometers in diameter! That means we need to have a visual range of at least 15 kilometers to be able to see it, which is too far!"

If we calculate based on the standard 30 kilometers.

Mo Laowu's location should be on the boundary of a circle with a radius of 15 kilometers centered on them, a distance beyond the limits of their eyesight.

Even excluding the direction they came from, there is still a sector-shaped circle of nearly 270 degrees to consider, which is still a huge area.

Diya quickly did the mental calculations.

His vision ranges from 13 kilometers to 15 kilometers, and he is still 2 kilometers away from 15 kilometers.

Does that mean that if Mo Laowu doesn't move, he can find him by simply walking around a circle with a radius of two kilometers centered on them?

not like this.

A diagram would make it clear; the situation is far more complex than that. If we were to actually do it that way, we probably wouldn't be able to find it even after several more hours.

The other two could naturally think of this problem as well.

Pokson suddenly suggested:

"Can we leave Mr. Norb where he is and let Dia fly out on her own, using the increase or decrease of signals to determine the direction?"

Norb adjusted his glasses and said:

"Simply cutting the time in half is still a gamble, a temporary fix that doesn't address the root cause. Is there a better way?"

What about the military's two-person cross-positioning method?

Pokson brought it up again and explained it, since the military terminology of the Kingdom of Kakin might not be the same as that of other countries.

This time it was Dia's turn to refute:

"There's only one receiver, it won't work."

Norb nodded:

"Yes, and this method, like the previous one, is effective only if Mo Laowu stands still."

"But what I saw in Pum’s crystal ball was Mo Laowu constantly moving."

Pokson, quick-witted, said:

"If we wait in place until the signal disappears, and then look in the direction where the signal disappeared, we should be able to find a small fan-shaped area. The boundary of the area is where Mr. Mo Laowu might be located."

“Miss Poxen, this narrow fan-shaped area is probably larger than 150 Kakin Palaces, and what do we do when Old Man Mori is still moving?”

Diya patted Poxon's head affectionately and said lovingly.

"Then you think about it yourself!"

Furious, Poxon slapped away someone's groping hand, looking sullen.

The main problem is the lack of time; it's difficult to find a method that is both reliable and convenient.

The argument between the group just now wasted another ten seconds. If all else fails, it's better to try one's luck than to waste time.

suddenly,

Nob, who was frowning in thought, looked up and stared intently in a certain direction.

"what happened?"

After comforting Poxon, Dia looked curiously in that direction but saw nothing unusual.

"listen."

Norb said succinctly.

Upon hearing this, Diya focused her spiritual energy towards her ear.

His heightened hearing instantly caught a strange, short sound. He couldn't make out the pronunciation, but it sounded like a sentence.

How can we still hear each other after being so far away?

Dia and Nobu exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

Without hesitation, Dia rode the clouds and rushed in that direction!

After about two kilometers, he saw it—

Almost at the horizon where Dia's eyesight was at its limit, a blurry white dot moved slowly like a worm.

That's it!

Without needing evidence, Diya decisively withdrew the Nen from her eyes and gave the order:

"Fog! Go there! Meanwhile... a thunderstorm is starting in the jungle 15 kilometers ahead!"

……

"Huh...huh..."

Mo Laowu was panting heavily, kneeling in the thick smoke, using his huge pipe as a crutch to support himself.

At this moment, he was in a truly wretched state.

He had numerous wounds, his clothes were tattered, and he looked exhausted.

Most fatally, his left arm had been severed at the root, and the entire arm had vanished!

It is easy to imagine the fierce battle he went through.

Even so, Mo Laowu maintained his composure and was not overwhelmed by the pressure:

Judging from the timeline, almost three hours have passed since Nakoroo and his men discovered my predicament. Nob should already be on his way.

'The longest wait will be another 2 hours, and the shortest is unpredictable...'

But if we calculate it in the longest possible time, it's the 12 hours he had previously envisioned, and that's his lifeline.

After more than 12 hours, his physical strength will be completely depleted!

In fact, even without engaging in close combat, just by going around in circles like this, his stamina should have been completely exhausted two hours ago.

They've managed to hold on until now thanks to Horuges' unexpected performance.

'That person, although they didn't seem like much at first glance, has an unusually strong ability to withstand pressure...'

Suddenly an annoyed voice descended from the sky:

"Hey! How much longer! How much longer!"

The sound spread in all directions and reached Mo Laowu's ears.

That was the voice of Horus.

This wasn't the first time; Mo Laowu always seemed to hear his voice in all sorts of strange places.
