Yama Reborn-Chapter 600 - 597: Right Here

After the food problem for the refugees outside the town was resolved, Chen Nuo no longer paid attention to these issues.

The situation in the town seemed tense, but the situation was firmly under control.

Even though the war had passed for several days, at one point a retreating local armed faction somehow fled to less than ten kilometers from the town.

During the clash with the pursuing government army, the explosions and gunfire caused panic in the town.

But soon, the mercenary army guarding the town dispatched and drove those forces away.

This was the closest the flames of war had come to this town during this conflict.

Chen Nuo was no longer concerned with the news of the war progress coming from outside.

It was said that bloody massacre incidents had already appeared in the north, and Pengpeng had made several moves ahead of time.

Ten days later, the flames of war gradually subsided.

Both the government army and the local armed factions withdrew from the battlefield due to heavy casualties.

By this time, the number of refugees outside the town exceeded thirty thousand.

Fortunately, there was enough food to last these refugees for more than half a month.

As the flames of war subsided, Chen Nuo speculated that the Octopus Monster's plan should be nearing its end.

It wouldn't be long before they could send the refugees back home.

·

Chen Nuo had stopped going to the riverside to fish.

Now the riverside was crowded with refugees, and even if he wanted to fish, there wouldn't be much to catch.

The refugees sought more food, heavily fishing the fishes and shrimps from the river.

With such a large fishing scale, even if the river was twice as wide, how many fish could there be? It wouldn't be enough to consume.

Fortunately, the mansion was not short of food, and Chen Nuo even taught the cooks how to make hand-pulled noodles out of boredom.

Otherwise, eating bread every day would be monotonous. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

In the mansion, Chen Nuo and other Controllers knew well and patiently awaited the news from the Octopus Monster.

However, those ordinary Special Ability Users were feeling a bit restless.

The search operation had ceased, but no new mission instructions were coming from the Octopus Monster.

Chen Nuo and their conspiracy couldn't be told to these Special Ability Users.

Even the Female Special Ability User warming the bed for the Son of the Sun was looking increasingly anxious.

"Can't they be sent back first?", Lu Xixi felt a bit compassionate: "We're entering the final stage, preparing to battle the Mother Clone and the Octopus Monster... It's likely these people won't survive if caught in the chaos. Moreover, there's no point in keeping them here."

The response to Lu Xixi was from Nolan.

Nolan shook his head: "I don't mind, but my words don't hold much sway now. The Elders' Council has taken command of this operation, and those Special Ability Users won't listen to me.

These guys are restless, not fearful. They're worried about their payment.

If you want them to leave now, they may not agree.

They are all Special Ability Users, and they don't feel the danger of a regular warfare; they feel no pressure."

Lu Xixi frowned: "But there's no use in keeping them here."

"Yeah, there's no use in having them here.", Chen Nuo chimed in, interrupting the conversation: "That's something I'm curious about. Why did the Octopus Monster bring these ordinary Special Ability Users over?"

The Son of the Sun glared: "Low-level cannon fodder?"

The Wizard sneered, "Amongst us, any member, even you, Son of the Sun, can easily kill all those Special Ability Users single-handedly, without breaking a sweat.

In the face of the Mother Clone, what cannon fodder role could such a group play?"

The Son of the Sun nodded but soon realized and glared: "What do you mean by 'even' me?"

The Wizard dismissed the Son of the Sun's question with a disdainful smile: "Old man, you've wasted quite some time. You became a Controller earlier than the rest of us, but now your skill may barely match Nolan's."

The Son of the Sun cursed loudly: "Motherf***er! Wizard, are you insulting me?! Let's go out and fight!"

Chen Nuo watched the Wizard and the Son of the Sun bicker with indifference, even pouring himself a cup of iced cola.

But suddenly, Nolan's face changed, and he quickly took out the satellite phone from his pocket.

Everyone stopped talking and looked at Nolan.

After Nolan answered the call, the voice on the other end belonged to the Octopus Monster—everyone present was a top expert, and even without speakerphone, the voice was clearly heard by everyone.

"Mission restart, Nolan, notify everyone to prepare to set off."

It was Kamisou Ichiro's voice.

·

Two hours later, two transport helicopters landed at the mansion.

Chen Nuo and other Controllers boarded one helicopter, while the other Special Ability Users boarded another one.

The Son of the Sun's lover couldn't help but look longingly at the old man.

The old man's heart softened; after all, for these days there had been some casual affection, so he waved his hand: "You can stick with me."

With his word, Chen Nuo and the others didn't object, and the rest had even less right to say anything.

The Female Special Ability User eagerly nodded and jumped onto the first transport helicopter.

Both helicopters took off, quickly leaving the town behind.

·

The flight lasted about an hour, and due to weather and air currents, it was a bit bumpy.

Everyone else on the plane had their eyes closed, resting, except for Chen Nuo, who kept his eyes open, gazing outside the plane.

The flight passed over vast fields, jungles...

Many places bore the marks of war.

There were scorched lands, destroyed villages, and in some places, even large numbers of hanged corpses could be seen.

Cars and tanks destroyed by hot weapons...

Chen Nuo even saw the wreckage of two crashed armed helicopters.

By the time evening approached, the plane arrived at its destination to land.

Chen Nuo noticed that a makeshift base had already been set up here.

Next to a small row of modular buildings, a long dining table was placed on a leveled piece of ground.

Kamisou Ichiro, wearing a shirt, sat casually by the dining table, lightly waving in the direction of the landing plane.

Chen Nuo noticed that this guy was holding a dining fork in his hand.

Behind him, not far from the dining table, two chefs in chef robes were busy in front of a row of outdoor barbecue grills.

Chen Nuo and the others did not hurry, waiting for the plane to stop before jumping off and walking towards Kamisou Ichiro.

"It seems like you all are in good spirits." Kamisou Ichiro smiled as he glanced at everyone once they approached, but his gaze finally rested on Chen Nuo.

"Of course," Chen Nuo scoffed, "We rested in that small town for almost a month... we even suspected we were just on vacation. I was originally planning to lose weight, but ended up not losing any."

The Octopus Monster looked at Chen Nuo's chubby figure and laughed, "I think you look fine like this, Mr. Chen Nuo."

Then he cheerfully greeted the others, finally nodding at Lu Xixi, "And you, Empress, how was the vacation for you?"

Lu Xixi tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Thank you for sending those novels, they helped me pass a lot of boring time."

The Octopus Monster's smile widened, and he loudly announced, "Alright, everyone, please sit down. Let's enjoy dinner first."

The two chefs were busy, and soon a few logistics personnel swiftly brought over the food.

Chen Nuo sat directly beside the Octopus Monster, picked up a knife and fork, cut a piece of steak, chewed it, nodded, and said, "You never let yourself suffer anywhere, do you? Such fine steak, the air freight isn't cheap."

The Octopus Monster chuckled and then instructed the person next to him, "Pour this gentleman a glass of cola, with ice."

Chen Nuo laughed heartily.

Lu Xixi sat next to Chen Nuo, casually pulled out a hair tie, and tied her long seaweed-like hair into a ponytail, casually saying, "Make that two glasses of cola."

Chen Nuo looked at Lu Xixi, "Indeed, you can't drink alcohol."

Lu Xixi cast a captivating glance at Chen Xiaoguo.

The other Special Ability Users sat at the long dining table, deliberately keeping a little distance from these bigshots.

The Octopus Monster hosted the meal, and the food was naturally extremely rich.

Steak, caviar, and other such things were just ordinary fare. It's hard to imagine how much effort it took this guy to bring these expensive ingredients to this godforsaken place.

The Wizard and others remained silent, saying nothing, just quietly eating.

Kamisou Ichiro raised his glass of wine, sipping the deep red liquid that resembled calf's blood, and looked at Chen Nuo, "Chen Nuo, do you have any questions for me? After all, this mission has dragged on for so long, with such a long break in between... do you have any doubts?"

"No," Chen Nuo chewed the steak, the chef's skills were good, the medium-cooked steak was very tender, he waved his hand, saying, "We're just doing a job for money, you're the paying boss, how the mission is executed is up to you.

Ultimately, you're the one footing the bill."

Kamisou Ichiro glanced at Chen Nuo, nodded, and said, "Alright, if there are no questions, then let's enjoy dinner first... after dinner, we'll depart."

Upon hearing this, the few people put down their food, looking up at the Octopus Monster.

"Depart after dinner?" Chen Nuo deliberately joked, "Is it another group search?"

"No," the Octopus Monster shook his head, "We don't need to search this time because we're already at the destination."

Chen Nuo and the others looked around.

Chen Nuo asked, "You mean... here? Right here?"

Kamisou Ichiro nodded, "Yes."

"You've already found the hiding place of the Fourth Seed? Here?"

Kamisou Ichiro smiled slightly, "Yes, right here, to be precise, it's at the location where we are currently...

beneath us!"

Chen Nuo's fingers tightened slightly around the knife and fork.

The Wizard beside him immediately changed his expression, slowly releasing several spiritual force tentacles, spreading them across the ground.

Soon, the Wizard looked up and exhaled, "I can feel it, beneath us... there's the repulsion of a space barrier. Something is definitely hidden below."

Chen Nuo nodded, looking at Kamisou Ichiro with a hint of questioning in his eyes.

"After dinner, we can get to work."

"How do we work? Blast out the underground sleeper with explosives?" Chen Nuo laughed.

The Octopus Monster shook his head, "Of course, we won't be that crude. But I've made preparations."

He pointed in a direction, towards a patch of woods.

"Behind the woods, I've had a tunnel excavated. After a while, we'll go down through that tunnel to approach the target."
