Chapter 614: 614
At 5:40 am, the first large passenger plane landed.
The volunteers received the crowd and led the survivors who had just recovered to a temporary settlement that had been set up in an emergency. Hot food was already prepared there.
There was also a tent that could block the wind and a warm mattress.
These survivors had obtained precious safety and were saved from the crisis. However, for those who were still fighting, it was far from the time to rest.
” When the Broken Islands have turned into a ghost’s den, and we are trying our best to evacuate the innocent and the soldiers, it is extremely unfair to let you go against the flow to the front line.”
Although time was tight and there were still many things to do, Kant decided to stay at the airport for the time being.
He gave a speech to the soldiers lined up in front of him.
The volunteers from the various military divisions, mainly spellcasters, assisted by engineers and sharpshooters, would board the Homecoming and set off for the Broken Islands.
The pilots of the hot-air balloons transporting refugees needed to take turns to rest, and they also needed experienced warriors to assist the fire control system in clearing the lone enemies. This large-scale evacuation operation required the addition of fresh troops, which was the reason for gathering these rebels.
Kant looked at them one by one.
They were of different races, different nationalities, and different origins. Some were from the navy, some were from the Investigation Corps, and some were locals of Distant Harbor. Now, they all had the same identity.
” I don’t know your names, nor do I know the reason why you responded to the call. In the face of your actual actions, empty praise and hypocritical flattery are shameful.”
” I won’t give you a long lecture about the significance of your righteous, benevolent, and fearless actions, because you don’t know how to teleport, and you can’t retreat to a safe area at any time like me. It’s true courage that you don’t hesitate. In the face of your choice, any praise is useless.”
The last survivor had already left the cabin. The hatch closed and slowly started. Under the dim sky, the behemoth slowly started, turned along the runway, and headed for the other departure runway. Then, it carried out various self-checks and preparations before take-off.
Kant looked at the volunteers who were about to board the plane with a serious expression.
” Therefore, I can only make two promises to everyone.”
” Firstly, I promise that I will do my best to ensure everyone’s safety. I will always place everyone’s safety above the refugees waiting for our rescue. If sacrificing you alone can save a hundred people from the Broken Islands, then I will not hesitate to give up on those hundred people and choose to bring you back alive.”
” Remember, this is my promise. It is your choice to stand up for yourself, and this is my mission. I am willing to put my life on the scale to make the choice and judgment for you.”
” Secondly, I promise that I will do my best to make everyone’s choices and righteous deeds have the greatest meaning. We will work together to achieve this great event. Today, our actions will spread across the sea and shake the world. As for you, everyone, no matter what you want, honor, power, money, or simply self-actualization, after this is over, you will receive rewards that match your achievements and contributions.”
” This is also my promise. I hereby make a promise with you.”
Kant suddenly felt that he needed to end his speech with a courtesy.
The military salute of the People’s Liberation Army was not suitable. He was not a soldier.
Bowing wasn’t appropriate either, it was a little solemn and a little weird. He actually didn’t need to express his gratitude to these warriors, because he was a kind person who saved lives like these people. If he wanted to thank them, it should be the people of the Broken Islands who came to kowtow to him and his good brothers.
And the salute of the Young Pioneers… He was afraid that he would laugh.
Finally, he chose the most suitable one.
He cupped his fists and bowed to the people in front of him.
At this moment, they were all fellow martial artists and heroes.
” With the setting sun, the moon that is about to rise, the eternal earth, and the sky that is about to be filled with stars as witnesses, we make a promise.” Kant said,” Everyone must come back alive.”
The Homecoming was about to prepare to set off again.
Ten minutes later.
The first batch of survivors who arrived at the distant port were relieved of their worries and uneasiness under the enthusiastic cheers and welcome. They walked into the temporary settlement prepared for them with slight apprehension.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Far Harbor, Hong San, commanded the Emergency Rescue Committee’s subordinate troops to light up the illumination spell and prepare to welcome the second plane landing.
After a short period of celebration, the volunteers resumed their work. Shark Tex continued to work as a construction worker. Although he was still determined to work for the radio and his motivation to swing the sledgehammer was still very pragmatic, his mood was much better.
“You rich scums from the Broken Islands.” He spat on his palm.” Thank you, Mister Tex, for keeping you out of the wind and cold with your wall!”
“This is your room.”
Irina led the two professors to a campsite. It was brightly lit, and there were Valentan guards patrolling in military off-road vehicles. There were even machine gun positions and watchtowers. After placing her ID card on the security camera at the gate, the fence rose and they stepped in.
Professor Shirley heaved a sigh of relief.
Along the way, she saw messy crowds, walls that looked like barbarian camps, and army green tents. All of this made the mysophobia professor feel uneasy. She wondered if she should claim to be Kant’s mistress again in exchange for a better room.
But at this moment, she heaved a sigh of relief.
What he saw was not a tent that was neither sanitary nor soundproof like a barbarian camp, but a white house that was filled with the beauty of order and simplicity.
White walls, blue roof, doors, and windows. Other than that, there was nothing else. There were no pillars or carvings. This was a noble and pure house. There were no additional, vulgar, or boring elements. The only value was living. The person who designed this house was undoubtedly a pure person.
That’s right, Kant from Skyquaking has a pure heart. As expected of him. Just like me, he has a pure and holy body and soul…It was really a good house.
“This is your temporary residence.”
A hint of envy flashed across Irina’s eyes. She felt that such a house was very impressive and very good. It even looked better than the big houses of the nobles…She had never seen such a house before.
Shirley didn’t answer. She walked forward and gently knocked on the white wall of the house. There was a knock, and the touch and echo made her expression change slightly.” This is…” Metal? No, what material is this…”
On the other side, Lysalyn had already cheered and leaned forward to look through the window.
She saw a two-story, wooden bed. It looked like the two-story bed she used to sleep with her sister when she was young, but the material was much better. There was a pink curtain against the wall, and when it was pulled back, it was an independent space. She saw a small milky white round table with colorful snacks on the plate. She saw a dressing table on the other side. There was a huge round mirror with golden edges…Oh oh!
“Open the door, open the door, open the door!”
Irina smiled as she took out the keys and opened the door. She handed the two keys to the two professors and entered the room with them. Lysalyn ran straight to the bedroom and screamed happily.
Shirley pursed her lips and followed after him. She was stunned for a moment. She had to admit that the layout, design, and colors of the bunk bed were extremely stunning. Closing the curtains meant that it was a separate space, and there were bookshelves on both sides. What made Lysalyn scream was that there were furry toys placed everywhere in the room. Bunnies, dogs, and pandarians of all sizes were piled up everywhere.
The gray-haired girl’s eyes flickered for a moment before she took a deep breath.
Irina pressed a button on the wall.
In the next moment, the stars lit up. Strings of lights shone with a gentle light, illuminating the room with dreamy colors, as if it was a dream.
” Oh?” Lysalyn started to stutter. She turned around and looked at Irina in disbelief.” Is this really our room?” For us to live in?”
Irina looked around and nodded slightly. Her eyes were filled with envy, but she had personally decorated and placed these decorations. She had already secretly rubbed against those cute dolls.
“Yes.” She replied,” It was specially prepared by His Highness Kant for the two of you.”
About two hours ago, she was called here as a volunteer to accept temporary tasks and assignments. A drone flew in front of her and ordered her to do things in an awe-inspiring tone. Irina knew that the owner of this voice was Horus, His Highness Kant’s most loyal comrade and adopted son.
Horus had instructed her to receive two talented professors and scholars. They were two young ladies, and he had told her to serve them with all her heart. He had said that this was the highest order from His Highness Kant.
After she agreed, she saw the magical flying alchemy machine throw a small item to the side. Then, something magical happened in front of Irina.
A black vortex spun in the air, and a large number of things flew out from it, from the huge bunk bed to the dressing table that she envied, and then countless furry little cuties…
In the end, the Aurora language rang out from inside. It was the voice of His Highness Kant. His voice was majestic and mysterious, causing the young girl from Distant Harbor to feel a sense of reverence.
If Irina knew Chinese, she would understand the whispers of the Aurora Dragon.
” Damn it, luckily I still remember which floor that small property store is on. It’s so f * cking troublesome. Why did you have to make me specially come here? By the way, which island needs high-explosive grenades? Hurry up!”
At that time, she had only listened in a daze, and Lord Horus had translated for her.
” Please decorate this place properly. His Highness Kant said that as a young and beautiful girl, you should be able to place these things in the right places with your natural aesthetic instincts and cute soul. Please take good care of those two ladies and send them my regards and apologies.”
” Just say that the situation is urgent and I can’t provide you with a better residence. Please stay here for the time being and calm your turbulent hearts. Faraway Harbor is a place I protect, and you will be well protected here. I look forward to meeting the two top scholars. I welcome you to join my team.”
Irina told him everything truthfully, feeling a little jealous.
The two scholars were stunned.
” T-This is all prepared by His Highness Kant for us?” Lysalyn stammered.
“Yes.”
Although he didn’t come personally, his most loyal friend and adopted son had sent a puppet to convey the message, so it was probably His Highness’s intention.
The understanding Irina seemed to have guessed the intention behind His Highness Kant’s grand reception, so she deliberately omitted the part where Horus was acting as his agent.
As for why…
“You want it very much, right?” At that time, her gaze was completely attracted by the pile of dolls. Horus whispered,” Then complete your mission well. If you do well, in addition to the work points you should have received, His Highness Kant will also give you an additional reward…Do you understand?”
From surprise to shock, from shock to coyness, from coyness to shyness, and finally, with a red face, she lowered her head and stared at her toes with a subtle expression. She twisted her fingers and didn’t say anything.
Shirley looked on coldly.” Heh, looks like the village girl who has been delusional since she was young is fantasizing about some unrealistic and ugly situation filled with desire again…”
“Xue Lili, what are you talking about!”
“You’re too easy to understand, Lysa, but this is just a pathetic delusion. Do you think that the people of Aurora are doing this to seduce you? There might be thousands of reasons for him to do this, but it’s definitely not the kind you think. Of course, it’s because he’s a virgin like me…”
Professor Shirley’s mouth was covered.
“Pui, pui!”
The gray-haired girl struggled free and wiped her mouth hard. Filthy! It’s unsanitary!”
They were still playing around when they suddenly heard a faint whistling sound. The sound was extremely familiar. The three girls were stunned and ran to the window.” Is another plane coming?”
At this moment, Irina’s expression changed.
She ran to the table and turned on the radio. The beautiful voice of the head actress of the Hibiscus Theater sounded.” As the survivors from the Broken Islands arrived at the settlement and enjoyed a hot dinner, the Homecoming took off again. Two hundred and sixteen heroes volunteered to go to the Broken Islands to speed up the evacuation, protect, and save the people still trapped there…”
” Let us pray to these brave people, pray that each of them can return safely with honor. May the gods protect them…”
The soft and beautiful voice told the story of the brave people. The heroes who faced the danger and went against the current listened silently.
This was the mainland, the other side of the Broken Islands. It was quiet, warm, and beautiful. There was no danger, no urgency, and no fear. There were only comfortable beds, gorgeous houses, and passionate people. But on the other side of the sea, what was the island that had become hell?
” Long-lasting Illumination!”
A strong light source floated in the sky. Night had gradually risen and was about to arrive. This would definitely be the most difficult night for the Broken Islands. The decrease in visibility and the decrease in temperature meant that the difficulty of the evacuation mission and the combat mission would increase further. A bigger challenge.
The flames were blazing, and the flames were flying everywhere. The flames dispelled the cold and brought light. Kant had already urgently ordered a batch of military coats from the country. The relevant departments must be very curious. Kant’s requests were getting stranger and stranger.
Of course, this reason was also reasonable. He said that Moani had suffered a series of catastrophes, many houses had collapsed, and the temperature at night was low. Many people had problems keeping warm. It was very good to ask the king to help him.
The military coats he obtained would be stored in Moani’s Kant’s private warehouse for a period of time.
Then, he would slowly distribute them.
As for the lighting…
“Men, get on the tower crane!”
The 50,000-luminosity lamps lit up all around, illuminating the area as if it was daytime.
This was from Zhuerban.
The researchers and investigation teams from all over the world gathered in the capital of Biagon to investigate the Graywind hive beneath the city. Under the manipulation, instigation, and bias of the despicable Fire Stealers, the five big hooligans of the United Nations started an arms race in the open and in the dark. Kant had secretly helped China transport a large batch of heavy machinery today, and a few western countries were trying to find a way to double the amount.
The leaders of the various countries heaved a sigh of relief as they worked out the plan and mobilized the transport planes. At least that Chinaman Kant was more particular. He only secretly helped his own country transport things, but did not do anything to the other countries ‘transport operations. This was beyond their expectations.
They stopped at the airport without any inspection or obstruction. The foreigners carefully transported a few heavier weapons, but there was no reaction. This made them restless.
All in all, with the delivery capabilities and logistical support of the five strongest countries on Earth, Kant’s Shattered Archipelago evacuation operation was undoubtedly much more convenient. For example, in terms of lighting, each country had established independent observation camps around the research base leading to the hive. In order to prevent the ” friendly countries ” from doing stupid things like cutting wires, they also had their own independent power supply lighting system.
Kant borrowed their entire system.
Hence, the evacuation points on the Broken Islands were as bright as day.
” Send out observation balloons. Eagle Eye Officer, set up a life detection system on the aerial platform to observe the gathering of sea monsters on the islands and provide guidance for the firepower platform.”
At a speed of half an hour, the temporary airport on the central island sent the survivors to the distant port. This speed took into account the time needed to guide the people to settle down on the plane, as well as the reception capacity of the distant port. Horus ‘computing power was secondary. After all, it was only responsible for the take-off and landing. After reaching the designated altitude, the plane would fly according to the inertia navigation.
” So far, everything is normal, Your Highness!”
Kant, who had returned to the central island, listened to Quillon’s report. The evacuation operation was on track.
The addition of the helicopters and dragons sped up the evacuation of the people. When they saw a few planes soar into the sky, the people on the island felt a sense of hope. They became more cooperative with the orders of the Combined Fleet. The hot air balloon advanced in the dark sky, surrounded by long-lasting illumination spells. The central island was blazing like a lighthouse, guiding them forward.
The fire base on the large platform continued to provide fire support in all directions. The dragons were bombarding the area with torpedoes. Countless sea monsters had been killed by the hot-air balloon drop points. The evacuation points were being evacuated in an orderly manner. The situation seemed to be under control, but Kant was not optimistic.
” The construction of the second runway between Far Harbor and here has been completed. We need to speed up the evacuation. From now on, the second boarding gate will be opened. You and your soldiers should be familiar with the process.”
Kant used his Phoenix Vision to observe the situation at sea. Then, he said to the elven commander beside him,” Every fifteen minutes, a plane will land at the distant harbor. Reinforcements will arrive in an hour. We need to evacuate the residents on the island as quickly as possible. We should also be prepared to evacuate at any time.”
Ever since the evacuation operation began, Kant had prepared many contingency plans.
Kant had made a breakthrough in the previous battle. He had already figured out the pattern of sea monsters gathering. They hunted like crazy and did not even know how to avoid danger. This provided the possibility for the water mines to blow up the fish. These bloodthirsty monsters did not have the instinct of avoiding danger like ordinary creatures. Instead, they devoured and collected flesh and blood as their whole life. Kant thought of a way to gather them together and bombard a large area with a large amount of water mines.
With this pattern and fighting style, the endless number of monsters was controlled to a certain extent. This allowed the tense defense work to have a breather. Kant had already ordered the Warriors of Destruction to find suitable flat land on the other islands with large populations. They would flatten the ground with road rollers and strengthen it with spells.
Some small passenger planes and military transport planes did not have high requirements for the runway.
It would take a lot of time to transport people from the various islands to the central island by hot air balloon.
Time was the most precious thing in this evacuation operation.
“Do you understand what I mean?” He looked at the elf commander.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Quillion looked at the sea from the edge of the cliff with a solemn expression.” I can almost feel it, from the depths of the sea…” Fear.”
That was the ultimate predator that living beings faced…It was his most instinctive reaction.
It was about to wake up.
“How do you feel, elf?” ” We’re snatching food from its mouth,” Kant said faintly.
“Very exciting, Your Highness.”
Born in the great forest, following the law of the jungle, neither elegant nor peace-loving elves licked their lips and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
The reason why this race could become the master of the forest and stand above the many predators, mysterious creatures, and dangerous creatures in the prosperous ecosystem was not because of their singing, their faces, or their gentle temperaments. Instead, they used spears, bows, and arrows, slaughtering, hunting, and extinction.
Other than not setting fires, they had done all the violent acts they could in the forest.
As everyone knew, the elven culinary tradition was actually superior to the world.
Because they had eaten the entire forest.
” I still want to taste it,” the elven captain grinned.

P.S. 1: Awesome…She lay down at 11:30 last night, feeling sleepy and unable to sleep…
