Just as the commander flew into a rage, a soldier stood at the door with fear on his face. Just as he was hesitating about whether to come in, he was still discovered by the commander. “If you have something to say, just say it. Will there be any worse news now?!”
When the soldier heard this, he immediately stood at attention and hurriedly said, “Officer Matsushita, the genetic research consultant, Mr. Merrick, would like to see you!”
Matsushita immediately revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. Then, he hurriedly said, “Quick, invite him in!”
The soldier turned around and ran out. After a while, he brought back a middle-aged man in a suit with a shrewd look in his eyes. When Matsushita saw this person, it was as if he had seen reinforcements. He quickly came forward and shook hands with this person enthusiastically. “Mr. Merrick, you’re finally here. We really can’t hold on much longer.”
Merrick sat on the main seat, but this seat originally belonged to Matsushita. However, Matsushita stood at the side and smiled, pretending not to see anything.
“Didn’t your Sakura Nation always claim to be the strongest in the Asian navy? Why are you fighting so miserably now?” Merrick looked at the captains who were sitting on the deck with a faint smile on his face. The sarcasm in his words was self-evident.
Matsushita was no longer as arrogant as before. He immediately cried and said, “Mr. Merrick, don’t joke around at this time. How’s our backup plan going? If we don’t take action now, it will really be too late.”
The reason why Matsushita was so respectful to this foreigner in front of him was because this person was actually the leader behind the entire Sakura Island’s genetic experiment. It was Merrick who had brought the technology of the geneticists, and he had always been in charge of the experiments of the geneticists and genetic animals.
There was another very important reason why Sakura Island treated Merrick as an esteemed guest, other than the fact that he had personally promoted the genetic development of Sakura Island.
Merrick was from the Overseas Mystery Research Institute!
The Overseas Mysterious Research Institute was the faction that had been promoting genetic development. Almost every country could see people with the background of the Mysterious Research Institute cooperating with each other.
This was basically a tacit secret between the various countries. No one mentioned it, but everyone knew it.
Looking at Matsushita’s anxious face, Merrick snorted coldly. His eyes were filled with undisguised contempt. “You can’t even keep your cool over such a small matter. You’re even bragging about your military strength everywhere. What a joke. The plan had already been implemented. The Sakakyo Maru had already approached the west side of the island group without the Eastern Kingdom noticing. There are no defensive lines deployed by the Ancient Eastern Kingdom there. It won’t be long before everything ends.”
Everyone in the command room revealed happy expressions. Matsushita even heaved a sigh of relief. “This is really great! They would never have thought that there was an important part of our plan. Everyone’s casualties were worth it. It attracted the attention of the Ancient Kingdom of the East and bought time for the Sakakyo Maru. The genetic team on that warship is enough to destroy any armed forces they set up on the island!”
Matsushita was in a good mood, as if the soldiers who had been sacrificed previously suddenly had meaning at this moment. While they were talking, a small warship without any flag had quietly appeared on the west side of the island group.
Currently, the island where the warship docked was next to the island where the ruins of civilization were located. As long as one crossed the hills on the island, they could reach the island where the ruins of civilization were located.
And this was Sakura Country’s true backup plan. The person who proposed the plan was naturally Merrick. This warship did not set off with the fleet. Instead, it deliberately distanced itself from the fleet and took another route.
The warship activated all the anti-radar systems and achieved true invisibility on the radar level. It was precisely such an invisible warship that was carrying a full genetic army and stopped not far from the designated landing island.
More than 30 fully armed geneticist soldiers jumped into the sea with diving equipment and silently landed on the island. The Battleship Sakakyo was quietly parked on the surface of the sea, waiting for this advance force to occupy the high ground and destroy all the garrison forces.
Not only were there 50 geneticists on standby on this warship, but many genetic animals were still locked in special boxes. This was Sakura Nation’s trump card. However, Merrick, who had made the plan, clearly did not know much about the ancient country of the East. Or rather, he was too arrogant and underestimated the strength of the Eastern Ancient Kingdom. Otherwise, he would definitely think about why the Ancient Eastern Kingdom did not deploy any defensive forces in the west.
Just as the 30 geneticist soldiers thought that they had secretly reached the back of the enemy, an alarm had already sounded in the command room of the military base near the ruins of the civilization.
As the commander-in-chief, Chen Yuehui immediately went to the instrument. Soon, he saw many thermal imaging of the human body on the instrument. The technician quickly reported, “Sir, an armed force has landed on the west side of the island group and triggered the thermal imaging alarm device we placed on the island previously. From the looks of it, there were about 30 people. Basically, they were the enemy’s armed forces!”
