For the "Old Task Force", the biggest problem at the moment is that they simply don't know where Suimo City is.

"We can only consider going back to Cliff Village and waiting for the people from Suimo City to come south for trade," Long Yuehong said after thinking for a while.

He has always been active in matters involving the company and the Tyrant enslaving humans.

After all, this directly affects his family, his relatives and friends, and his future life.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

"Summer is getting closer and closer, and the people in Suimo City will definitely seize this window of opportunity to do more trading and store more supplies."

And in the case where the specific location of Suimo City needs to be kept secret, they can only send people south.

This is the opportunity.

Seeing that his proposal was approved by the team leader, Long Yuehong added with undisguised joy:

"It's also a good opportunity to go to Cliff Village to replenish electricity and food."

Speaking of this, he "uh"ed and frowned:

"When we submitted the application for going out, we only mentioned the tasks of finding the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute and exploring Kerningmis. Now that both have been completed, the company will definitely suspect if we don't return for a long time."

The higher-ups will think that the "Old Task Force" has ulterior motives and is busy or planning something.

After listening to Long Yuehong's concerns, Jiang Baimian smiled:

"I haven't reported the discovery of the remains of the 'Tyrant's Child' to the company yet."

In other words, according to "Pangu Biology's" records, the "Old Task Force's" mission has not yet been fully completed this time.

Clap clap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded again.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him and said nothing.

She could tell that this guy was relatively silent today, as if he was just acting as an atmosphere creator.

This is understandable.

"But the environment of Kerningmis has changed. If it no longer overlaps with the 'New World', it won't be long before someone notices its abnormality," Bai Chen reminded the team leader. "Moreover, if we go to Cliff Village, doesn't that mean the mission is complete?"

If they haven't really finished exploring Kerningmis, normal people would choose to go to Gesterborg to replenish energy and supplies, instead of traveling all the way across the ice plains to return to Cliff Village.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"For the humans in Gesterborg and the surrounding areas, Kerningmis is a forbidden place. Unless there is an accident, no one will specifically go to check the environment.

"Only when summer comes and a large number of relic hunters enter the ice plains, occasionally passing by there, will the problem of Kerningmis be discovered."

She meant that her team still had plenty of time.

--It's still about a month away from summer in the ice plains.

"As for Cliff Village, we'll go to Gesterborg to store some supplies and try to last longer on the ice plains to see if we can wait for the Suimo City caravans to come south," Jiang Baimian added.

Everyone knew very well where to wait, which was on both sides of the road leading from the ice plains to the mountains where Cliff Village was located.

"Yes." Genaver moved his metal neck up and down. "We also have to give Aester the items she wants to Gitis."

"They take up too much space!" Shang Jianyao pointed to his and Genaver's bulging tactical backpacks respectively.

Long Yuehong sneered:

"Don't you always like this kind of mission to help people fulfill their wishes? Why would you嫌(xián) the corresponding items taking up space?"

Shang Jianyao answered seriously:

"They're poking my dad."

Part of his father's remains were in his backpack, and the other part was with Genaver.

"..." Long Yuehong was speechless.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian cleared her throat and said seriously:

"What to do next is very clear. We'll go to Gesterborg tomorrow."

Nothing happened overnight.

After dawn, the five members of the "Old Task Force" didn't rush to get into the car. They stood in a row on the flat hillside, facing Kerningmis, with their hands on their chests, and closed their eyes.

They were mourning, mourning for the members of the previous Old Task Force team.

Each of those people had many roles, being someone else's children, parents, partners, relatives, and friends.

Three minutes passed, Jiang Baimian opened her eyes and said in a low voice:

"Everyone, please rest assured, the real reason for the destruction of the Old World is about to surface.

"When the time comes, the wind will help us pass the message to you."

After saying that, she bowed deeply.

As a team also investigating the cause of the Old World's destruction and the origin of the "Heartless Disease", she respected the predecessors who sacrificed in Kerningmis and felt deeply sympathetic.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao shouted:

"For the sake of all mankind!"

Then, he also bowed deeply.

Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Genaver followed suit.

…………

"White Knights", Gesterborg.

As soon as the "Old Task Force" returned here, they noticed an unusual atmosphere in the air.

There were obviously more knights and soldiers wearing alloy breastplates coming and going, and the relic hunters, who were supposed to be active, seemed timid and hesitant.

"Tense!" After being away from Kerningmis for a while, Shang Jianyao returned to his normal state.

"What are you tense about?" Jiang Baimian, who was driving the jeep with the help of artificial navigation, glanced at the passenger seat.

Shang Jianyao looked outside and said excitedly:

"Could it be that the 'White Knights' headquarters sent people to arrest us?"

"What virtue and ability do we have?" Jiang Baimian chuckled.

The "Old Task Force" has always been law-abiding in Gesterborg, only bullying the people from the Eighth Research Institute, and has never done anything outrageous or attention-grabbing.

"Worth tens of thousands of Ore!" Shang Jianyao seemed quite proud of this.

Long Yuehong muttered in a low voice:

"For such a big force like the 'White Knights', tens of thousands of Ore is nothing."

"Any force is composed of people. Where there are people, there are selfish desires. For an individual, tens of thousands of Ore is enough to buy their life," Shang Jianyao struck a pose of debating heroes.

"Yeah, yeah." Long Yuehong was too lazy to argue with him.

Before long, Jiang Baimian drove the car to the entrance of the "Fire and Iron" hotel.

Gitis was at the front desk today.

"Has something happened recently? It feels like there are a lot more knights in Gesterborg all of a sudden," Shang Jianyao asked the former intelligence merchant directly, seeing that there was no one around.

Gitis looked up at him and said calmly:

"A knight's silver coin."

"You're charging for this too?" Shang Jianyao was very surprised.

"You won't be able to find out the real reason anywhere else except here," Gitis replied calmly.

Jiang Baimian's heart stirred when she heard this. She looked left and right, and lowered her voice:

"You've awakened?"

Gitis tucked her honey-colored hair behind her ears and said with undisguised joy:

"I have 'Heavenly Ears' again!"

She deliberately didn't mention what the other two abilities were.

"When did this happen?" Shang Jianyao asked happily, as if he was the one who had awakened.

Gitis replied with bright eyes:

"Three days after you left, I dreamed of a Bodhi tree, and then I awakened."

"Namo Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi." Shang Jianyao raised his right palm with satisfaction and chanted a Buddhist chant.

Jiang Baimian was also happy for Gitis, and took out the remaining knight's silver coin and handed it to her.

Gitis accepted the silver coin without hesitation and lowered her voice:

"It seems that the headquarters has specially dispatched many strong people here to deal with that organization called the Eighth Research Institute."

Did the company tell the "White Knights" the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute? Are the major forces going to unite to deal with the Eighth Research Institute? Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Jiang Baimian all had these thoughts flash through their minds at the same time.

"Do you know when it will start?" Shang Jianyao asked excitedly.

Gitis shook her head:

"That organization is very strong. The preparation work will probably take several months."

Most importantly, the major forces have to coordinate well, otherwise whoever takes the lead will suffer... The strength of the Eighth Research Institute is not fake... Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully.

Gitis looked around and asked with the instinct of an intelligence merchant:

"Did you guys come back from Kerningmis?"

"Yes." Shang Jianyao signaled Genaver to take off his backpack and take out toys such as teddy bears and building blocks.

Gitis's eyes widened slightly, and she said in surprise:

"You really went into Kerningmis?"

And came out alive!

However, after looking at Genaver, she felt that this was completely understandable:

Kerningmis is a forbidden zone for humans, but not for robots.

Robots don't get "Heartless Disease"!

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao admitted frankly.

Then, he kindly told Gitis:

"Kerningmis is not dangerous now. You can organize a team to collect supplies.

"Well, be sure to pay attention to observation. If the sky in Kerningmis is always dark, even at noon, then don't go in..."

Gitis was confused. She felt that she understood every word, but when put together, she didn't know what it meant.

After a few seconds, she suddenly realized and looked at Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and others in astonishment:

"Did you make Kerningmis return to normal?"

Make it no longer a taboo?
