Seeing Qin Weishan's anxious demeanor, the man stepped back with the girl beside him, thinking he was about to be attacked. Jiao An quickly stepped forward to grab Qin Weishan, signaling him not to act rashly.
"We clearly passed the test. It is your fault for going back on your word," Lu Sha said.
The man, realizing he was in the wrong and unable to provide any evidence to prove otherwise, had no choice but to confess to the three of them: "Our leader is indeed not in Mauritius. If you truly wish to meet, I can only provide you with the corresponding address. The leader of our sect is very mysterious; activities between individuals are relatively free, and there are not many religious constraints. Even we disciples rarely know where they are. All I can tell you is that their actual location is in a bunker near Furnace Volcano on Réunion Island."
The three exchanged glances—if this was the information they received, it meant their efforts had been in vain. They already knew they were supposed to go there; now they were just given a vague concept of a bunker. How were The Celestial Warriors supposed to proceed?
"Are we supposed to search around the entire volcano for this bunker?" Lu Sha was getting angry.
"I'm sorry, but we have never seen it or reached it," the man replied helplessly.
Both Qin Weishan and Lu Sha had short tempers, and their displeasure was evident on their faces. Jiao An, like a mother with two unruly children, reached out with her hands to pull both of them away as she prepared to head downstairs. Turning back, she nodded at the man and said, "Thank you for your guidance."
"No need to thank me."
"Jiao An, why are you pulling us along?! I tell you, if I hit him once, he will definitely confess..."
The man followed them down and watched as The Celestial Warriors exited the shop. Just as he closed the door behind him, a force pulled at the handle he was about to turn. Outside stood a woman in a brown trench coat; her eyes hidden behind sunglasses made it impossible to see her expression, but she gestured at him with the emblem of Miracle Sect. The man thought she was someone delivering a message for him and opened the door without hesitation.
The woman's name was Tuna; she was a right-hand figure in Miracle Sect, but her true identity was Agent 0078—a familiar face.
"Where are those three Celestial Warriors?" Tuna asked as she entered.
"The Celestial Warriors?" The man exclaimed in shock. "Those three just now were superheroes from China?"
"Just now?" Tuna countered.
"Yes, they just left."
"What did you say to them? Did all three pass your test?"
"Yes, it's strange; I feel something is off, but I can't find any evidence... I hid the information well and only told them that your location is in a bunker near Furnace Volcano..."
"You fool! You’re going to get us killed!" Tuna shouted as she grabbed the man by his collar; her trench coat sleeves slipped down her arms, revealing her blue skin covered in intricate patterns. The girl watching from the side was so frightened that she hid in a storage room.
"But I said very little..." The man struggled in mid-air, his eyes bulging as if they might pop out.
"They won't let it go if they can't find us!" Tuna said fiercely as she threw him onto the ground. However, she reconsidered; after all, these so-called Miracle Sect members were merely Earthlings who didn't know what Miracle Sect truly looked like. The man's actions were already protecting them. Tuna merely glanced at the gasping man on the floor before stepping out of the shop and immediately made an urgent report to the internal Human base: "The Celestial Warriors have arrived. Accelerate the transport of Quantum String Engine Locators and prepare for battle immediately!"
In the sky above Réunion Island
As an overseas province of France, Mauritius had specifically requested permission from the French government before entering. The Mauritius Government dispatched a helicopter for Jiao An and her companions. Jiao An opened the side door of the helicopter and looked down at the entire island's appearance. The island relied entirely on tourism; from above, there seemed to be nothing unusual about it—hidden within its 2,512 square kilometers of lush greenery. It would be impossible for them to find this so-called bunker using just their strength in such a short time.
Jiao An sat back down and took off her binoculars; she had no idea how to approach such a vast island. Now she regretted visiting that small tavern; after all that effort to pass Pork Bullet's test, she had obtained no concrete intelligence whatsoever. There she couldn't use force either; otherwise, they might be accused of "using violence against civilians." In this regard, Jiao An was more rational than Qin Weishan and Lu Sha, but as a consequence, they lacked any effective intelligence to support their next move.
"Sister?" Lu Sha asked Jiao An, who wore a troubled expression. "What are you thinking about?"
"On such a big island, where are we supposed to look?" Jiao An sighed.
"We can call Fei'er," Lu Sha suggested.
In an instant, Lu Sha's words sparked a realization in Jiao An. Indeed, Lu Sha was quicker on the uptake: "Right! Let her run a few laps around the island!"
Meanwhile, Taokalanphiel had already dashed off to gather the team members who had descended to Earth. She soared high above and heard Jiao An's voice through the global satellite communication system: "Fei'er, we have a problem and hope you can come help us."
"Sure thing!" Taokalanphiel replied. One moment she was in Egypt, and the next she had teleported next to their helicopter. The two pilots inside were completely unaware that someone else had joined them. As Taokalanphiel transformed from a glowing sphere back into her three-dimensional form, Jiao An pulled her inside and explained, "We need to find a bunker on that small island below. There should be a land entrance somewhere, but it would take too long for us to locate it."
"I get what you mean. Let me go down and search," Taokalanphiel said as she gradually shifted back into her glowing sphere form. "Leave it to me."
"Oh, by the way," Taokalanphiel turned before leaving, "did you call for backup?"
"We just called you."
"Not me. When I came to assist you earlier, I noticed a small armed aircraft at your six o'clock position heading this way."
The three of them immediately tensed up—Mauritius Government had never mentioned sending armed support for this mission to Réunion Island. If what Taokalanphiel said was true, then that aircraft must have sinister intentions.
"Weishan, Sasa, get your gear ready at all times," Jiao An instructed. "Fei'er, you go ahead; this will only take you seconds."
Taokalanphiel nodded and transformed into a glowing sphere as she flew downward. However, just moments after she left, the helicopter suddenly shook violently, followed by a loud explosion. Alarms blared inside the cabin as red lights flashed above the three of them. More critically, the side door next to Jiao An had not been securely closed; amid the violent shaking, Lu Sha was the first to tumble out. Just as she was about to fall from the helicopter, Qin Weishan reacted quickly and grabbed her hand.
"Don't let go, Lu Sha!" Qin Weishan shouted at her while using his other arm to hold onto his seat. With immense strength, he pulled hard, his muscles straining even without mechanical gauntlets; he successfully yanked Lu Sha back inside.
"The helicopter's tail has been hit! You need to jump now!" the pilot shouted from the cockpit.
Seeing the helicopter begin its descent toward the forest below, Jiao An strapped on her gear and handed Lu Sha and Qin Weishan their equipment cases: "We're jumping! Get ready!"
"What?! Again?!" The experience of jumping from a helicopter in Zombie War had left Lu Sha traumatized. She yelled into the wind as it whipped through the shattered windows of the helicopter, tangling her short cherry-red hair beyond recognition despite her attempts to tame it.
"The parachute suits are behind your seats! Hurry up! We have 4,000 meters before we crash!" the pilot continued shouting.
From an outside perspective, the helicopter's rotor blades were still spinning; however, its tail had been blown off and it was plummeting toward the ground with a trail of black smoke behind it. The pilot struggled to maintain control but could not prevent their impending doom.
Jiao An and her companions quickly donned their parachute suits. Not only did Jiao An put on her suit, but she also retrieved her sniper rifle named Dreamfall from the equipment case—she needed to see who was attacking them.
Jiao An jumped first and floated down through the air. Following her were Lu Sha and Qin Weishan. As they descended, they finally spotted the culprit behind their helicopter attack—the armed aircraft that Taokalanphiel had mentioned. It was surprisingly small; from above it appeared even smaller than their helicopter. It launched another missile at them with a whistling sound that grew closer until it struck the helicopter, resulting in a massive explosion that obliterated it in mid-air.
"No!" Lu Sha shouted in shock; those two pilots were still on board!
"Weishan, Sasa! Steer yourselves toward the tourist town on the edge of the island! Do not land in the forest; otherwise it'll be hard for us to regroup once we touch down!" Jiao An yelled through their communication devices.
The three of them simultaneously activated their wing suits and confirmed their positions before diving downward. The small fighter plane seemed to have spotted them; after passing over where the helicopter had exploded, it turned back and sped toward them!
“It’s right behind us!” Qin Weishan shouted.
“Stay calm, hold formation, Weishan! You’re too far from us!”
Lu Sha and Qin Weishan both had their equipment boxes strapped to their backs. If they were to counterattack, their only hope lay with Jiao An. The three of them dove in a triangular formation, but the small fighter jet targeted Jiao An at the front, its cannon whirring to life as it began indiscriminate fire.
A stray bullet zipped past Jiao An, and the sound of gunfire from behind made her instinctively roll and turn to evade the cannon's line of fire. However, Jiao An couldn’t escape; the cannon fired at an astonishing rate of 2400 rounds per minute. No matter how quickly she turned, a bullet pierced through the wing on her back, causing Jiao An to lose her balance and shift from gliding to desperately trying to control her fall.
“I’ve been hit!” Jiao An exclaimed.
Yet Qin Weishan and Lu Sha were helpless. They wanted to get closer to her in mid-air, but Jiao An was unable to maintain her balance as she twirled high above. They were now only over a thousand meters from the ground; if Jiao An couldn’t deploy her parachute soon, she would plummet to her death.
Qin Weishan and Lu Sha were frantic, and just then, the pursuing fighter jet locked onto them. A miniature missile was launched toward Jiao An; if it exploded, all three of them would perish in the sky!
You’re not so impressive after all. Inside the small fighter jet, Tuna sneered as he pressed the fire button—
In an instant, a yellow arc of light shot up like a graceful silhouette growing from the ground, racing straight toward the missile fired at the fighter jet—
