"Boss, there's some bad news."

During the break, Hao Jian heard Evelyn's voice, opened his eyes, and looked at Evelyn.

"Speak."

"Our companion in Equatorial Guinea just sent a message, saying that there's domestic unrest in Equatorial Guinea now, it's no longer the peaceful Equatorial Guinea it once was."

Hearing this, Hao Jian frowned slightly and said, "How did it get chaotic so quickly?"

Evelyn knew what Hao Jian meant, pointed to the map on the helicopter wall, the map of Equatorial Guinea, and helplessly started speaking: "Boss, you also know what type of country Equatorial Guinea is, it's one of the most backward countries in the world. If it weren't for finding that oil resource offshore before, it might still be dirt poor."

"At that time, the found oil resources were controlled by officials and the ruling group. Now that another one has been detected, it's strange that they aren't in chaos."

"Everyone wants to get this oil field but is reluctant to let others have the benefits. To get this oil field, the ruling group is no longer managing the country, and those officials have turned their eyes to the oil field. Over time, it led to misery."

"Such a country really has no value at all. Our God of Death Island didn't focus there. We only set up a small base there for information. I only had them send a message once a year, and it's still a long time until that year."

After hearing Evelyn's words, Hao Jian touched his nose and said, "Let's go over there and assess the situation first, and then analyze our next step."

"Remember not to be noticed by those guys."

At this point, Hao Jian cracked a smile and said, "I don't want them to run away because of my arrival."

"With you here, Boss, it's abnormal if they don't run!"

"Boss, we're professionals. It's easy not to be discovered by those guys."

Seeing their excited expressions, those who knew knew, those who didn't would think they were going to bomb the Pentagon Building.

"Alright, everyone take a rest. When we get there, we need to adjust our time differences. If anyone messes up this mission, I'll have that guy spend time in prison!"

When these guys start talking, they go on and on, like hundreds of flies buzzing around their ears.

"Ah!"

Upon hearing the word 'prison', the faces of over a dozen people in the plane turned pale instantly, whether it was Evelyn or others, all showed expressions of fear.

However, they quickly bit their tongues and dared not say another word.

"Alright, rest."

Rolling his eyes, Hao Jian closed his eyes. Even though he hadn't seen these subordinates for a long time, their characters had stayed the same, making his head ache.

The only thing that could scare them was this particular prison.

The prison on God of Death Island is not the usual concept of a prison. It's a facility extending from land into the ocean, with eighteen levels, also known as the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

This is a place that both holds prisoners and allows for training. These twenty-six people only made it to the third level of the Eighteen Levels of Hell and could not progress further.

And Hao Jian rose from the very bottom, from the eighteenth level, with unfathomable strength.

Their training back then was also forced by Hao Jian. Out of a hundred people, only twenty-six made it to the third level after his guidance.

The rest didn't make it past the first or second level, and all were eliminated.

A few hours later...

"Boss, we've arrived!"

The helicopter landed in a mountainous forest, slowly descending onto a grass clearing, with strong winds blowing the grass wildly.

Standing at the helicopter's door, Hao Jian looked out over the untouched forest, smelling the primal scent in the air.

When Evelyn called him, he returned to his senses, smiled slightly, and turned to his crew, saying, "Grab your supplies, we'll find a place to rest first and then track down those guys."

"Alright!"

They responded, quickly picking up their large backpacks, each packed with enough supplies for a month.

"Move out!"

In minutes, they had their gear ready, standing in formation behind Hao Jian, eyes gleaming, awaiting his command.

Looking at these twenty people, Hao Jian chuckled lightly, waving his hand, "Evelyn, pinpoint our current location first, find the nearest city, and book the best hotel."

Hearing this, Evelyn nodded her head, then followed the main group while pointing and clicking on her wrist computer to search for information.

In less than thirty seconds, Evelyn located their current position, ran to Hao Jian's side, and said: "Boss, we are in a forest area of the Ensass Province. The nearest city to us is Mongomo, which is also the capital of Ensass Province."

"Then let's head there."

Hao Jian nodded and pointed ahead, indicating for Evelyn to lead the way.

Following Hao Jian's instructions, Evelyn turned left and right here, leading them out of the forest, which took more than an hour. They then saw a dirt road where a group of people walked on this deserted path.

Perhaps the population in Mongomo is quite sparse. Hao Jian and the others walked on this road for an hour and still didn't see anyone, which puzzled Hao Jian, wondering if they had taken the wrong path.

"Boss, although Mongomo is the capital of Ensass Province, its total population is just over ten thousand people, which is even fewer than the number of people in the small town back where we come from."

"Plus, with the current domestic turmoil, very few people would come out, so it's normal not to see anyone on this road."

Evelyn noticed Hao Jian's confusion and explained it to him, and with this explanation, everyone realized why there were no people around — it really was because of the low population!

"Beep beep beep..."

At this time, Evelyn's wrist computer made a sound, and after looking at the contents, her facial expression changed slightly. She looked at Hao Jian and then at the other companions, and said in a serious tone: "Boss, everyone, check the information I've sent to your wrist watches."

Hearing this, Hao Jian picked up his wrist computer and received a message. Upon seeing the information, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"It seems we were a bit too optimistic about Equatorial Guinea. This country has completely fallen, and now neither the government forces nor the local rebel warlords care about it anymore."

"Division is the current norm in this country, and the message also mentioned that as the capital of Ensass Province, Mongomo is particularly affected. It's considered optimistic if the population inside exceeds five thousand people now."

Evelyn explained to Hao Jian and the others.

"It seems that the government's attitude has annoyed these officials and local personnel, otherwise they wouldn't have rebelled."

Hao Jian shook his head and sighed. The turmoil in this country really came at a critical time! If something isn't handled properly, Hao Jian might become the nation's scapegoat.

Hao Jian definitely didn't want to become that level of a scapegoat.

When Hao Jian and the others reached the main street of Mongomo and walked inside, he started doubting if he had entered the wrong place. Didn't look like a war-torn city at all!

Inside, there were flowers, trees, and various small villas. It's just a pity that none of these villas were inhabited, and judging by the level of tree and flower trimming, it seemed like they hadn't been pruned for several months.

"Boss!"

While Hao Jian and others were wandering in the city, a tall and slender man suddenly ran out and sprinted towards Hao Jian.

This man's name was Teng Wei, specializing in scouting. Whenever there was any investigative work, he was the one assigned to do it. Just now, Evelyn had sent him to enter the city first to check out the situation and see if there was anywhere to settle down.

"What's up?"

Seeing Teng Wei running over, Hao Jian smiled and asked.

"Boss, I've scouted this town. I found that because of the war, many people have left. All the hotels and restaurants are closed..."

"So, we can't find a place to stay in the city."

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian frowned, but what Teng Wei said next made his frown loosen.

"However, Boss, while there's no place to stay inside the city, there is a place outside. It's just that..."

"Just what?"

"That place is a slum, quite dirty..."

Hearing this, Hao Jian shook his head and said: "As long as there's a place to stay, it's fine. You lead the way. This country is in turmoil, so it's fortunate we found a place to stay; we can't be too picky."

Upon hearing this, Teng Wei nodded quickly and ran ahead with everyone's eyes on him. He knew what his companions were thinking, it was just that they didn't like staying in such slum areas, but they didn't dare to vent their frustration at Hao Jian, so they took it out on him instead.

"Boss, why not randomly find a house here and move in?"

Hearing Zou Jia's question, Hao Jian turned his head to look at Evelyn to have her explain.

"The boss's point is that we can't move into these buildings. Our current mission is to investigate their movements without being detected by the enemy."

"In a city like Mongomo, those big houses would eventually be occupied by those warlords and government forces. If we get discovered, we would naturally be found by those guys."

"Until we locate their whereabouts, we absolutely cannot be discovered by them, the boss is worried they will escape..."
