Chapter 52 Whale Island
Romande just left. He didn't even have the desire to communicate with the ten old men.
But before leaving, he left a word with a slight warning, saying that v5 would keep an eye on this project.
I hope Long and others can pay enough attention and not try to fool them.
Seriously, it comes and goes quickly.
"Huh... let us do the work so they can take advantage of the situation. What a bunch of bastards." Only after everyone left did an old man dare to blow out a smoke ring and curse.
"If the drug is really successful, it will probably be impossible for our subsidiary to mass-produce it...it will most likely be hidden away by them."
Another person echoed.
"I have something else to do on my territory, so I'm leaving first!"
"goodbye!"
The rest of the people had no intention of staying any longer, so they said goodbye and left one after another.
"From the looks of it, this is probably not the first time that V5 has instructed the mafia. In addition to this project, it is probably also involved in other research...especially in the field of arms." After taking off his protective suit, Long had a smile on his face. He glanced at the expressions and reactions of the other nine people and guessed.
He thought of the 'Rose of the Poor', the killer weapon that killed old man Netero and the ant king Meruem.
This kind of technological crystal that can be implanted in the human body can be mass-produced...
At best, it can only be regarded as one of the most common items in the "human arsenal"... In fact, it does not even qualify to be included in the "arsenal".
What humans have to face is an unknown dark continent... There are inexhaustible magical resources there, but it is too dangerous... A previous exploration made V5 realize a problem, the price!
The cost is too high…the consequences are unbearable.
Whether it was the rose of the poor or the biological potion this time... Long felt that they might be small projects that V5 had gotten involved in, and were not as serious as Romand said. He just wanted the ten old men to stop slacking off... because this might be related to his own "performance".
Who knows what preparations v5 has made to deal with the Dark Continent?
Roses seem to be extremely powerful... but if used against the unknown on the Dark Continent, the effect may be minimal.
To V5, who has some knowledge of the place, the horror there is far beyond what the Chimera Ants can compare to.
Chimera ants are only a species with a danger level of B, which is far from enough...
Long believed that not only Romand was able to see what was in his mind, but others also knew it clearly but did not dare to point it out.
The reason why the gangs can call the shots in the superficial society and have such great power is closely related to the green light given by V5... Moreover, some of the ten major areas under the jurisdiction of the gangs are within the territory of V5. They can do business smoothly and make money...all because others turn a blind eye.
The gang has certain value to v5.
“We’ll have to let Davido communicate with them later.”
Long made up his mind.
"Then...if there's nothing else, I'll leave too."
After thinking about it, he also waved his hand.
Just like that, a small figure from a V5 organization attracted ten old men to gather and welcome him, and then he took a look around and everyone left.
O'Day, one of the ten old men who had teamed up with Long to kill Brown, followed closely behind.
She was also ready to leave. Before getting in the car, she glanced at Long and said, "You haven't settled the situation over there yet, right? If you need anything, I can help you..."
"No, it's almost done."
His men opened the car door for Long and he smiled.
O'Day nodded and said nothing more.
A strong breath...
The problem of haziness has occurred again...
He noticed that in the front seat of the woman's car, besides the driver, there was a very dangerous guy... undoubtedly a Nen user who was protecting her safety.
The two cars drove out of the base one after the other.
Long first called Filslily and the housekeeper to tell them some things, and then drove the car to the public spaceship terminal... He wanted to travel alone.
He doesn't like being followed...
There are less than three months left until this year's 281st Hunter Examination.
He planned to travel around first, as he had not experienced the local customs and practices since coming to this world.
Besides the Sky Arena, there are some other places he wants to visit…
Well-known attractions.
"Things have changed and people have changed..."
Half a day later, Long came to the terminal alone. Looking at the busy gate, he felt complicated.
Back then, when he went from Gram to the Sky Arena, he was short of money.
Things are different now. To him, money is just a string of numbers... It feels great not to have to worry about money.
……
The first stop of the Long Travel is Whale Island.
The hometown of King Fulisi.
In the original novel, Kate once said that in her eyes, Jinfulis is the best hunter... Long understands this evaluation. However, he came to Whale Island not for Xiaojie.
I simply think that the scenery of Whale Island is beautiful... the sparkling sea, the quiet and peaceful town, and the pristine natural environment.
Especially before Gon participated in the hunter preliminaries and met Kurapika and Leorio, the scenery presented in the anime was still fresh in Long's memory.
A place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, where dreams begin.
He really wanted to relax.
Of course, since we're here... it's normal to take a look at Xiaojie and Mitt.
"Mitt seems to be two years older than me..."
The next day, on the boat to Whale Island.
Long stood on the deck, feeling the sea breeze, wearing sunglasses, and smiled.
I was actually a little excited.
His excitement has nothing to do with a few plot roles, but stems from his love for full-time work... He now has the illusion that he is a fan checking in at a holy place for internet celebrities.
The location of Whale Island is relatively secluded, and it took a full day and night's boat ride to finally reach the destination.
"We have arrived at Whale Island."
The captain shouted with the horn, stopped the ship at the port, and the passengers began to disembark in an orderly manner.
It is a sunny day today. The sea in front of the pier is azure blue and the air is filled with a faint salty smell... There are many fishermen's boats moored on the shore. Not far away are the bungalows and streets of the town. You can also see the green mountains and woods on the island... The people here are dressed simply, and there are no tall buildings. At most, there are some small buildings and villas of varying heights.
Maybe it’s because of the filter, but when I saw this picture, I felt very comfortable... and friendly.
“What a great place!”
Long walked into the town, walked around casually, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Boss, would you like a live fish? I just caught it this morning!"
“Look at the fruits, they are all very fresh…”
The vendors and shop owners on both sides of the road were filled with warm smiles, and an auntie even stuffed an apple into Long's hand... for free!
There is no hustle and bustle of big cities here...what there is is just the warmth and liveliness of everyday life.
In fact, there are quite a few people... but it just doesn't feel that 'impulsive'.
"People are shaped by the environment they live in... But... Jin's weird personality... Tsk tsk... He's really different from Xiaojie. Are they his biological son?"
It was obviously a small place, but he looked around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around and being careless. He found everything strange, and sometimes he would sigh with interjections... He kept chewing an apple in his mouth and couldn't help but joke.
The toothache hasn't gone away, and today is a bit short.
Let's deal with it~
Chapter 53 Mitte's Tavern
The town of Whale Island is not big. I walked around and stopped here and there, and it took me less than half a day to finish the tour.
He stayed in the town for one night, during which time the innkeeper recommended many local specialties and introduced the situation on the island.
Although the climate and scenery here are nice...it's not a tourist destination, so...there are no trams or buses. You can only travel by motorcycle or on foot.
For a tourist like Long, the boss was also very surprised to find Whale Island.
The main town is at the foot of the mountain, with a port and wharf. Although it is not big, the basic public facilities are relatively complete... Most of the residents are engaged in porterage and fishing, so there are many people working, and the other ones are some boatmen and passengers who temporarily dock.
It is based on these that the small economy of Whale Island is formed.
Viewed from afar on the sea, the entire Whale Island seems very small... But in fact, if a normal person walks around the island, it will take at least two or three days.
In addition to the main town, there are some residential areas scattered around the island with a large population... The environment there is relatively cleaner and more simple.
The next morning, Long set out alone to explore the mountainous region of the island.
The mountain's landforms and resources are quite rich, mostly shrubs and towering trees, giving Long the illusion of returning to the days when he was practicing in the wild... The air is fresher, and the forest is filled with wild animals of all sizes. Naturally... there are also certain dangers.
As you climb higher, from some locations you can clearly see the coastline in the distance.
However, because it is close to the sea, once you enter the core area, you will find that the surrounding area is almost entirely dense jungles and large and small water sources.
In general, this is a pristine nature that has not been developed or damaged.
It is also the natural 'training ground' for Jinfulis and Xiaojie since childhood.
Actually, there is nothing special about it... What is special is this father and son.
When he came back, he asked the boss for a map and prepared to go to Mitte's tavern.
