Chapter 1116: Special Investigation Force

Chapter 1116: Special Investigation Force

If it were possible, David Chris only had one thought and that was to report to the higher-ups and tender his resignation. The ‘Commander in Chief’ of the Americas Region moon bases was once a title of glory and honor to him. But now, he felt an incredibly heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

It had been over 15 hours since he lost contact with the second district base. The only thing for sure was that they were attacked, but the situation was much trickier than when it involved a dragon because this time, everyone witnessed the existence of an angel in the surveillance footage!

If it were said that the attack from the dragon left everyone in the Americas Region lingering in fear, this time the emergence of this angel-like young lady led them to the verge of collapse. After all, they believed they were a ‘country protected by God’. But now, an angel that would only appear in legends had actually showed up before them and even attacked?

This incident left the people of the Americas Region in a state of anxiety. Some of the pious believers had even fallen into despair. They thought everything was the will of God and they must have done something to enrage him, which was why they were punished. In the Americas Region, such rumors were popular. Even though David tried all ways to stop the spreading of such rumors, he couldn’t conceal them forever. But to David, concealing them for the time being was good enough.

It was a pity that he couldn’t stop others from peeping despite successfully concealing the truth from his men. Most non-believing regions were watching closely and only just curious. But the Europe Region rang him up instantly, demanding the Americas Region to give a clear explanation as to why an angel had shown up and even attacked them.

Damn it! I’m even more curious to know just how unlucky I am to attract all these troubles!

A dragon, followed by an angel…

David let out a long, helpless sigh. Perhaps he wouldn’t be surprised anymore if he were to meet a demon next. Even though David and others had devout faith, they didn’t actually believe in the so-called legends of God’s messenger and whatnot. Religion was simply a spiritual cultivation to him and he believed that one shouldn’t rely on some imagined beings soaring in the air to display one’s dignity. But now, it seemed like some questions that weren’t taken to heart by people finally became true.

At this thought, David couldn’t help but hold his forehead. After a few moments, he lifted his head and due to the lack of sleep, he gazed at his subordinates with blood-shot eyes.

“By the way, what about those guys from the Asia Region?”

“Yes. Reporting, Commander. The Search and Rescue team from the Asia Region arrived five hours ago. They have headed to B-13 and are conducting their investigation.”

“What?!”

Upon hearing his subject’s report, David slammed the table heavily. He glared with an ashen expression at his subject.

“You said they went to B-13? Why didn’t you report this to me earlier?! Damn it. No, why didn’t they apply for entry beforehand? How dare they make such important decisions themselves!”

“T-This…”

After listening to his superior’s rage, the subject hesitated for a few moments before answering.

“… They have informed you as required, but you said you would handle such a small matter when you’re free. After they confirmed that you received their report and didn’t give any further instructions, they followed accordingly to the Moon Alliance Agreement to act autonomously and we have no rights to stop them…”

“Damn it!”

David slammed the table again. Of course, he knew the existence of such emergency regulations, but every country signed the agreement as an act and for any eventuality. One of the emergency regulations included was, for instance, that they could choose to act on their own when there was no response from a corresponding area in an emergency.

But this damn Americas Region hasn’t fully crumbled and I’m still alive and kicking! Those bast*rds didn’t respect me at all and have actually taken actions?!

Hmph. Well, that’s fine by me.

At this thought, David revealed a smile on his grim expression.

Since those guys went to B-13 for investigations, it shows that they may possibly face those earlier monsters that made us suffer. When that happens, they will know how reckless and foolish they are! Hmph, it has nothing to do with me even if they are all eaten as snacks by those monsters. I’ll just let them die! I’ve already searched the area with my forces several times and there is nothing worthy of my attention anymore. Besides, the confidential documents were already transferred or destroyed. Since they want to find trouble, I’ll let them be!

“Erm… Commander, there is another matter.”

“What is it?”

“The Special Investigation Force from Earth has also arrived…”

“Special Investigation Force?”

David was taken aback and his grim expression turned uglier. For such disasters to happen, his position as the ‘Commander in Chief’ was far from secure. Not only that, but Earth also sent out their own investigation force? This was obviously a move in doubt of his abilities. But what else could David say? Nuclear warheads were useless against the dragon and now, there was also a powerful angel.

Since this is way beyond what I can handle, I want to see how those guys from Earth can handle this thorny situation.

“Alright, let’s check it out.”

“No need for the trouble, Mr. David. We’re here.”

In a swift and mechanical sound, the tightly-sealed door opened, followed by a deep, ice-cold voice that sounded after. Upon hearing the voice, David knitted his brows uncomfortably. He turned around and saw a man in his 30s or 40s clad in a black uniform. He entered the control room in large strides, carrying a large suitcase by his side. He had a shaved head, and his azure eyes were as though inorganic marbles glinting in an ice-cold radiance. The instant David saw the man, he felt uneasy all over as though he were stared at by a wild animal. But even so, he held down his discomfort, stepped forward, and offered a handshake.

“Greetings, welcome to the main control center of the Americas Region’s moon base. I’m David Chris.”

“Greetings, Commander. I’m the captain of the Special Investigation Force, Dr. Johnny Martin.”

Facing David’s greeting, the bald man displayed a friendly smile. On the contrary, David didn’t feel any ‘friendliness’ from that smile at all. Even though Martin didn’t seem like a bad person, David felt like his smile was as sinister as a wild animal’s, which was why he quickly released his hand after the handshake.

“I suppose you’re aware of our predicament, Dr. Martin. We’re not doing too well and there were also some earlier troublesome matters that we’re attending to. Everything is…”

“We’ve learned everything from the earlier reports, Mr. David.”

Martin interrupted David in a somewhat rude way, which annoyed the latter. But David was also aware of his predicament, so he didn’t criticize him for it. On the other hand, Martin didn’t seem to notice the dissatisfaction in David as he nodded in response and continued.

“We learned what happened on our way here. I will take over command for the time being. According to our prediction, they are here for the Apocalyptic Slate. Even though we don’t know why they needed it, it is obvious that they are hostile towards us. For safety, we need to gather the remaining Apocalyptic Slates in one place.”

“I got it.”

David wasn’t surprised by what Martin said. Previously, they had searched the bases that lost contact and the Apocalyptic Slates used for research were missing as expected. Perhaps most people in the Americas Region weren’t aware of their existence, but as the person in charge of the moon bases, David surely knew about them. In fact, many bases in the Americas Region were built to uncover the Apocalyptic Slates; it was just that the newcomers weren’t informed and only treated them as ordinary research bases. After the bases were attacked and they did an inventory check, the disappearance of the Apocalyptic Slates caught David’s attention. It was especially so for the next few days where all the bases under attack were related to the Apocalyptic Slates and unrelated bases weren’t affected at all. This was why David came to the conclusion that the attackers were here for the slates. He thought of relocating the slates, but didn’t expect the second district base to be under attack before he gave the command.

“We will relocate the slate immediately and get the spaceship ready for Earth!”

Listening to David’s voice in her ears, the woman leaning on the space exploration vehicle gave a lazy yawn. At the same time, she extended her arm to knock on the screen lightly, cutting off the image displaying David and Martin temporarily.

“Yawn… so they’re here for that. How interesting… seems like we’ve just received some significant information.”

“M-Major? Are you sure it’s fine? To openly eavesdrop…”

“What does it matter? Anyway, we’re just doing some investigation and there won’t be any issue if we’re not caught… but so what if we are? Didn’t they do similar things back then too… yawn…”

The woman said and became silent for a few moments. Then, she stretched her arm out and knocked on the window.

“Alright, we’re not heading to B-13 anymore. Inform the rest to group up. We’re returning to the periphery of B-2. Since we know what they are looking for, we might as well wait for them to drop into our laps,” the woman said, lying on the back seat. “I’m gonna nap for a while. Wake me up if anything happens.”
