Chapter 187 MASD, Target Vegapunk
Finally, Lu Kai found a suitable task in the task list, which was to arrest members of the illegal research team MADS.
The mission gave a brief introduction to the illegal research team MADS.
MADS, also known as the 'Peace Research Institute', is funded by one of the world's underground emperors, the loan shark king Du Field, and brings together a research team composed of a group of outstanding scientists from all over the world.
The main members include Vegapunk, Vinsmoke Judge, Caesar Clown, Quinn, etc.
On the surface, Du Field formed MADS to promote world peace through scientific research, but no one knows what its real purpose is.
This team has been conducting research for quite some time and is quite famous around the world. However, recently this team was suddenly listed as an illegal research team by the World Government. The specific reason is unknown to the outside world. It is only known that the World Government is eager to find this team and arrest its members.
Especially Vegapunk!
The mission list clearly states that Vegapunk is the only member who must be arrested, and he must be arrested alive.
However, in order to avoid interference from the outside world, MADS has been traveling around the world on its own research ship, with its whereabouts unpredictable and no fixed place to live.
The World Government currently has no idea of their whereabouts, so this is an important mission, but also a difficult one to complete, but Lu Kai chose this mission without hesitation.
It was a coincidence that Lu Kai just happened to have clues about the MADS research vessel, and the person who provided the clues about this ship was Sato, a member of the Iron Army, nicknamed 3001.
At the beginning, Sato failed to catch up with the warship that came to G1. He was unwilling to give up and chose to take the risk of going out to sea. He suffered a lot on the way and even took the wrong road at one point.
It was during this process that Sato saw a very strange-looking ship with the letters MADS written on it.
As soon as Lu Kai learned the news, he went to investigate where Sato was. After some effort, he actually found the MASD research ship. After leaving a space coordinate in an inconspicuous place on the hull, Lu Kai returned.
At that time, Lu Kai didn't want to do anything to MASD, but wanted to see if there was any possibility of recruiting Vegapunk, so it would be a good idea to keep an eye on it first.
However, Luke's idea of recruiting Vegapunk was rejected by Fuya, who gave many sufficient reasons. Luke had no choice but to abandon this idea and decided to cooperate with the World Government to capture them.
So after the preparations were completed, Lu Kai led the warships carrying the Iron Army members and set off.
The positioning principle of spatial coordinates is very similar to that of the life card. As long as it is set up somewhere, Lu Kai can always sense this direction, so it is easy to track.
Five days after going to sea, Lu Kai discovered the MASD research vessel. It was in the New World, and not too far away from them, only three hundred miles in a straight line.
It's just that they were relying on the permanent pointers of some unknown islands to navigate, taking unconventional routes, and they were always moving, so it was almost impossible to meet them in the vast ocean. It has to be said that MASD played this trick in the dark very well.
However, Lu Kai did not launch an attack immediately, but kept a distance of about thirty miles from them, ensuring that they would not be discovered while keeping a constant watch on them.
In order to fight the first battle of the Iron Army, Lu Kai told Fu Ya all the information he knew about MASD. Combined with the information provided by the World Government, Fu Ya made careful combat deployment a week before departure.
As the first serious battle after the formation of the Iron Army, they must demonstrate the power of the Iron Army and build the confidence of its members, so this battle cannot be lost.
Five days later, the MASD research vessel approached an uninhabited island and sailed along the inland river of the uninhabited island towards the center of the island.
Because it was going upstream, the speed of the ship was not very fast. Two hours later, the research ship docked at a bank in the inner river of an uninhabited island, and many various boxes were piled on the bank.
Soon, a lot of people came out of the research ship. They were all dressed as guards of the research institute. After seeing the boxes, they started to move them into the cabin very skillfully.
This gave the Iron Army an opportunity, because the Iron Army had only been established for two months, and everyone had trained very hard and made great progress, but they were currently better at land warfare, and naval warfare was not their strong point.
It sounds ridiculous that the navy is not good at naval warfare, but it is indeed the case.
Before joining the Iron Army, most members, except a small number, had no extensive sailing experience or naval combat experience. Naval combat is a very difficult way of fighting to master. Generally, less than three years of training will not form effective combat effectiveness, even if the warship has strong firepower.
However, the Iron Army's land combat capabilities have been trained to a certain level, so they are more like the Marine Corps.
Lu Kai, who had been following the MASD research vessel, saw them sailing in along the inland river and immediately felt that the opportunity had come, so he followed them along the inland river.
The mission this time is to capture the criminals, and this terrain is most suitable.
When it was about two kilometers away from the research ship, Lu Kai's warship was discovered, and the MASD research ship immediately sounded the alarm.
The people who were still carrying the boxes immediately dropped the boxes in their hands after hearing the alarm, and regardless of the remaining boxes, they all quickly boarded the ship. Then the outer wheel of the research ship began to turn, and driven by the outer wheel, the research ship quickly moved upstream.
“Xiaolong!” Lu Kai was not in a hurry when he saw the research ship suddenly increase in speed. Instead, he suddenly shouted to the cabin, “Stop eating and get to work first!”
Soon, Xiaolong rushed out with a big beast leg in his right hand. Without Lu Kai saying anything, he understood what he meant and floated into the air.
As Xiaolong waved his right hand, the wind and clouds changed color in an instant, and then a strong gust of wind blew towards the sails of the warship, causing the warship to suddenly accelerate.
In just a moment, the speed of the warship exceeded that of the MASD research vessel, and the distance between the two ships began to close.
When passing by the boxes on the river bank, Lu Kai used spatial perception to check the situation inside the boxes, and then snapped his fingers. All the boxes that had not been moved suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in the cabin of the warship.
These are all spoils of war and achievements, and we cannot just leave them alone.
Inside the MASD research vessel, Vegapunk was operating a machine non-stop. It seemed that any noise from the outside world could not affect him, but everyone else was already panicking.
"Stusi, are you sure it's Red Wind Lukai's warship?" Vinsmoke Judge asked a woman next to him with a serious face.
"I'm sure!" Stussy said firmly, "How could I be wrong about that huge fist on the bow?"
Although Stussy is already in her forties this year, she still has her charm and her brows still show the extreme beauty she had when she was young.
Stussy calls herself a scientist and a member of the MASD research team, but her research ability is no match for other core members and she is just a bystander.
In order to find something to do, this capable girl took the initiative to take on security-related work. It was she who discovered the warship and sounded the alarm just now.
