Chapter 2799: Chapter 2800: Giant Creatures
After discussing the follow-up actions, Tao Cheng and the others packed up and left.
The people from the first group were also making their final preparations.
With nothing else to do, Lin Yi marked the routes in his mind on the map.
But while drawing, he noticed something amiss.
The route to the entrance at Section A was fine, but the other path they were preparing to take was a road to nowhere!
He hadnāt noticed it before, but now it seemed quite off.
The entrance was in the Kandaya Forest, without connecting to the safe zone.
The exit was also in the Kandaya Forest, not connecting to the Tiyama River.
Lin Yi frowned, unsure whether it was a coincidence or something else.
"What are you doing?"
Liang Xianghe walked over and asked.
"I unintentionally found a map in Mammonās possession. Besides the Section A entrance, it marked another route that I suspect is a secret path. Iām planning to give it a try later, just drawing it out now."
The reason was made up by Lin Yi; otherwise, the map story was hard to explain.
"You managed to get hold of this thing?"
"Not really got hold of it, just caught a glimpse by accident," Lin Yi said,
"Weāll explore it later. I donāt think thereāll be any issues."
"Why didnāt you report this to the brigade?"
"I donāt know if itās true or not. Itās all my speculation, so I didnāt report it."
Lin Yi laughed and said,
"If it werenāt for coming here, Iād have forgotten about it."
"Alright, letās take a look later."
Although it seemed unreliable, Liang Xianghe didnāt object.
This was also one of Lu Beichenās instructions: when necessary, donāt consider whether itās reasonable, just follow Lin Yiās suggestions.
Otherwise, Liang Xianghe wouldnāt attempt such an absurd thing.
Soon, as night fell, the people from the Central Guards Brigade were making their final preparations, including Lin Yi.
After finalizing the route, he began organizing his gear, careful not to miss anything.
According to Liu Hong, each set of equipment carried by the Central Guards Brigade was worth millions.
This wasnāt an exaggeration, as the equipment had to balance lightweight design and toughness, ensuring maximum protection against daggers and other sharp objects.
It also needed to be comfortable and breathable, not adding extra burden during operations.
Such a set of equipment for over a million wasnāt expensive.
About half an hour later, everyone was fully equipped, covered head to toe, with no skin exposed.
"Is everyone ready? If thereās nothing else, letās set off," Liang Xianghe said.
"Sister Yu, wait."šš£šš²š°ššš§š š§šš.šššŗ
Interrupting Liang Xianghe, Lin Yi reached into his pocket and pulled out a palm-sized photo frame.
Inside was a photo of Zhou Liang, a colored one.
"When I promised Iād bring you to the island, I didnāt break my word,"
The people from the first group felt uneasy inside.
"Brother Zhou, weāre about to land on the island; bless us with safety," Luo Qi said.
Lin Yi stood on the spot, saluting Zhou Liang.
Everyone else, including Liang Xianghe, stood straight and saluted Zhou Liang as well.
Though he was just a regular member of the Central Guards Brigade,
he was also a hero of the brigade.
He deserved everyoneās respect.
"Letās go."
Turning around, Lin Yi led the Central Guards Brigade members as they gradually walked out.
In the dim night, they headed towards the Kandaya Forest.
Passing through the safe zone, the forest ahead loomed darkly.
It was like an underground claw emerging and attempting to pull down the sky.
The trees here were towering, blocking out the sun, reaching into the clouds. Looking up, it seemed like a massive barrier that obscured the sky.
According to some investigations, the trees in the core area reached a height of a hundred meters.
Such plants couldnāt be found elsewhere.
After entering the Kandaya Forest, with no sea breeze effect, Lin Yi noticeably felt that the oxygen levels here were much higher than in the safe zone.
Even with his physical prowess, it took a moment to adapt.
In the forest, besides the towering trees, there were shrubs of varying heights.
The paths underfoot were all covered by plants, making progress extremely difficult.
Additionally, through the gogglesā night vision, countless mosquitoes could be seen flitting past.
Spiders the size of oneās palm.
Mosquitoes larger than faces.
And giant pythons thicker than waists.
Just stepping into the Kandaya Forest, a variety of massive creatures appeared before Lin Yi, all with terrifying postures.
It was like stepping into a prehistoric forest.
"Donāt use the knife; push through with your body. Try not to damage anything here."
"Are you worried someone else will find traces here?" Liang Xianghe asked.
Lin Yi nodded, "Those who can come here arenāt fools; they are all experts in counter-surveillance. Letting them find traces isnāt good for us."
Liang Xianghe nodded, agreeing with Lin Yiās point of view.
Being cautious is never wrong, no matter when.
"Itās strange here; there are no footprints beneath our feet, as if nobody has been here before," Yu Siying said.
"You havenāt been to the island many times, so you know less about things."
Liang Xianghe turned around, pointing to the massive dark object not far away, said:
"Thatās Jiabite Mountain. Itās rich in ore inside, so in this area, the oxygen content is relatively higher than in other places. The creatures living here are also more ferocious, so no one wants to walk here."
Pausing, Liang Xianghe continued:
"In my memory, itās been over three years since anyone entered the forest from here."
Understanding his words, Lin Yi grasped the implication.
Everyone came here to investigate the relicsā real situation, not to participate in some fun competition.
They all would choose relatively safe routes, and as long as they could reach the destination, they wouldnāt make other choices.
Hence, this place being forgotten was natural.
Even the Flame Dragon Team didnāt want to go there, so other organizations were even less willing.
"Are you sure the route is not wrong?" Liang Xianghe asked,
"I remember when I came here before, there didnāt seem to be anything noticeable."
"Letās see the situation on-site. Anyway, itās still early, and it wonāt delay subsequent tasks."
Liang Xianghe nodded, leading the first group to continue forward.
After walking a few hundred meters, Liang Xianghe suddenly stopped.
"Wait, thereās a situation."
A dozen people stopped, cautiously looking around to prevent any accidents.
Just then, Lin Yi saw a pair of deep eyes in the bushes behind, glowing with a heart-stopping green light.
Before Lin Yi had any chance to react, a dark shadow like a tiger leapt up, pouncing towards him.
