Chapter 207 Everyone has their own agenda
As for the remaining 2000-plus units of Radiant Blue Gold, Mo Ming decided to store them for the time being. He planned to use them all to recruit new personnel once the shelter's plans were completed.
Now possessing over 2000 units of rare metals, enough to recruit over forty new allies, plus his original seven-person team, his power has begun to take shape.
Although there is still a long way to go before he becomes truly powerful, this gradual accumulation and development fills him with confidence and a sense of satisfaction.
He even began to imagine that, at this rate, he might actually become a centurion in the future, or even go further and become an undeniable force on this land.
With everything arranged, Mo Ming finally had time to relax a little. He stood high on the sky island, gazing at the distant sky and ocean, feeling the cool sea breeze on his cheeks, letting his thoughts wander.
The shelter beneath his feet was gradually being improved, the island's resources were being effectively utilized, and the team's strength was constantly increasing. All of this made him feel extremely satisfied.
However, this sea is not peaceful, and danger may strike at any time, especially from enemies who covet his territory and resources.
Mo Ming did not become complacent because of this; on the contrary, he became even more vigilant. He knew that staying alert was the key to survival.
Just as he was envisioning a bright future, a slowly moving black dot came into his field of vision on the distant sea.
Because of the distance, it looked like an extremely tiny dot. If he hadn't been standing high enough and hadn't been constantly vigilant, he might not have noticed it at all.
Mo Ming narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the black dot, and alarm bells rang in his mind. Based on previous intelligence, he was almost certain that it wasn't an ordinary sea creature, but rather a small, life-sized ship-shaped shelter!
The name "Little Life" made Mo Ming frown slightly. They were a highly threatening enemy, cunning and ruthless in their actions, and adept at taking advantage of weaknesses. Clearly, their target was Mo Ming's sky island. Mo Ming had long anticipated this situation, after all, his island was rich in resources and had reserves of rare metals, making it a tempting target for surrounding powers. But he remained calm, because he had already made preparations.
"Cui Cui, conceal yourself, the enemy is coming!" Mo Ming quickly issued the order, his voice low and calm. Staying calm is the first step in facing any crisis.
Cui Cui waved her vines and quickly disappeared from Mo Ming's sight, leaving only a trace of heat in the air.
"Xiao Jin, go and inform Meng Ling to prepare for battle!" Mo Ming continued to instruct. His tone was more serious, after all, the enemy this time was coming with great force, and they could not be careless.
Xiao Jin accepted the order and left, while Mo Ming turned back to the shelter and gathered everyone. Facing the threat from Xiao Rizi, they needed meticulous planning to prevent them from having any opportunity to exploit.
"Manmeng, Shitou, you two go to the west side of the territory and lie in ambush. Keep a close eye out for any humans sneaking onto the island! If you find any enemies, take them out if you can. If you feel you can't win, hide and find an opportunity to report back."
Mo Ming looked at Man Meng and Shi Tou, his tone filled with unwavering determination.
"Yes!" Manmeng and Shitou responded in unison.
Then, Mo Ming turned his gaze to the others, "Tark, Lia, Kane, you take Blue to the east of the territory, mainly to scout. Once you spot the enemy, immediately have Blue return to report. Do not act rashly."
"Understood!" the group responded in unison, accepting the task without hesitation.
Mo Ming glanced around, his tone becoming even more serious, "Attention! Everyone must stay within the barrier and absolutely do not leave. Inside the barrier, Shang Shang can protect you. Remember, there's more than just one Radiant Orange-level ferocious beast on the island; they are the greatest threat!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions grew even more solemn. They knew that Mo Ming's words were true, and they were still somewhat shaken after recently experiencing an incident where a Radiant Orange-level ferocious beast "knocked on their door."
The orange-level ferocious beasts on the island are far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. Once they leave the protection of the barrier, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Although the barrier's coverage area reaches 20 kilometers, it's still far too limited for the entire island. People from the lower classes might take advantage of the chaos to land on the island and hide outside the barrier.
If precautions weren't taken in advance, the consequences would be unimaginable. To prevent this from happening, he deliberately deployed personnel on the east and west sides to monitor the entire island's movements to the greatest extent possible.
As for the north, it's too far from the shelter. Even if they landed on the island from the north, it would be impossible for them to cross the entire island.
"How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed!"
This island is his future kingdom, and neither enemies nor ferocious beasts can take it from him.
......
"Vice President, we're only a few kilometers from our destination. I've already sent my Steel Armored Falcon ahead to find a suitable landing spot for us!"
Mei Chuan bowed respectfully and reported to the man sitting in front of him.
The man sitting there appeared extremely composed, his hands clasped in his lap, his gaze deep and sharp like an eagle's. He nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, yet his calm words betrayed a burgeoning ambition:
"Yes, well done. You made a great contribution to the discovery of Ling Island. Once I become the president, the position of vice president will be yours."
Upon hearing these words, Mei Chuan's face immediately broke into a smug smile, his eyes filled with greed and excitement. He immediately bowed his head and fawned, "Hey! Then I'll thank Vice President Sakata in advance... ptooey ptooey... President Sakata!"
Upon hearing this, Sakata was taken aback at first, then burst into hearty laughter, though a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes. He laughed loudly and said, "Hahahaha! Vice President Umekawa, don't be so quick to draw conclusions. This is just the beginning!"
"Hahaha, President Sakata is right, it was indeed my slip of the tongue! Hahaha..." Mei Chuan forced a respectful smile and hurriedly echoed the laughter, displaying his obsequiousness.
The two were each preoccupied with their own thoughts. Although their laughter was continuous, it was tinged with hypocrisy and layers of scheming.
The seemingly harmonious laughter was gradually drowned out by the wind, waves, and the surging sound of metal falcons skimming the sea as the ship moved forward, leaving only an eerie silence that seemed to foreshadow an impending conspiracy and turmoil.
Mei Chuan stepped out of the cabin, the obsequious smile on his face vanishing instantly, replaced by a cold and sinister look in his eyes. He snorted coldly and muttered to himself, "President? Hmph...we'll see."
At the same time, Sakata, inside the cabin, also stopped smiling, his gaze turning sinister. "You really think I don't know who you're working for? Once I take over Ling Island, you'll be the first one I deal with!"
Hehehe..."
