These youths, just like Xiao Shunyang and Yang Yang, were also a bunch of adventure-loving fellows and had some fame in this circle.
The girl named Xia Sha directly sat in front of the computer, her fingers flipping through pages, and the content appeared one by one on the webpage for everyone to see.
"A mysterious giant island has emerged in the Pacific Ocean area, with an area close to 1 million square kilometers..."
"Surrounding the mysterious island, a special force field halts all machinery, Professor Noah claims it may be related to quantum state interference, even satellites cannot investigate..."
"Our country’s third naval fleet has now gone to explore, including the third and fifth aircraft carrier strike groups, which will carry out long-term stationing and in-depth investigation missions..."
"Countries around the world have initially reached an agreement to cooperate in sealing off the area around the magnetic field, and to carry out a joint exploration operation of the ’New Island,’ classifying the information as top-secret, and due to the characteristics of the targeted area, sail ships will become the main operational tool in this exploration mission..."
In the webpage, besides these shocking pieces of information, there were also series of photos from the scene. There were not only aerial views of a huge steel fleet blocking the surface of the ocean, but also some precious pictures from inside the mysterious island.
Looking at the monitor with scenes of unknown corals and peculiar eye stones, the expedition team members were all dumbfounded, even the previously complaining alarm clock closed its mouth and stared at the screen without blinking.
"My God! There really is something there! Could the rumors actually be true!?" someone exclaimed.
"Holy mackerel! A mysterious island! You guys, look at those things, they’re clearly corals from the seabed! Do I feel island was pulled up from the sea? Geography Liu, what do you think?"
The bespectacled boy beside them opened his mouth wide, oblivious to his friend’s question until it was repeated several times before he came back to his senses.
"Impossible, how can this be? Even if it was a volcanic eruption, it shouldn’t have developed into this state in such a short time... It’s improbable... This is unscientific..."
The boy murmured to himself, while the people around him also came to the realization that this guy also couldn’t figure anything out.
"I’m telling you it’s the revival of spiritual energy! Forget about the two world-shaking ’light events’ from before, just looking at this island, it’s definitely a sign of the revival of spiritual energy."
"That’s right, this time I’m with Zhou Yu! That island is either a cave of wonders filled with tremendous treasures or a terrifying source of monsters. We must act quickly. Even if we can’t get ahead at every step, we at least need to prepare enough supplies to be ready to evacuate at any time!"
"Alarm clock, didn’t you just say there was definitely nothing there? How come now you’ve changed your tune?" someone teased.
The alarm clock stiffened his neck and said, "I actually guessed there was something there long ago; I just wanted to test your judgement... Enough now, since we already have a target and a ship, what are we waiting for? Let’s get ready to set off!"
Shi Yong, who was drinking water, almost spat out the water in his mouth upon hearing this.
He said helplessly, "Set off? Set off to where? That island? Please! Over 3000 kilometers! Can our crappy yacht even make it? And didn’t you read what the information said? Machinery can’t operate there, and the area is completely blockaded by navies from various countries. What do we have to get there?"
"Uh... So what do we do now?"
Shi Yong came over to the computer, took the mouse from Xia Sha, and opened up another webpage: "This is a transaction information I saw on an antique collection website in England."
Everyone’s gaze turned toward the computer monitor.
It was a transaction that had already been completed; the item sold was a shield, with a price displayed at 20,000 pounds—a substantial sum of money for the average person.
"Do you see anything here?"
Upon hearing this, a few people scrutinized the shield carefully, and suddenly one of them said, "Wait a minute! Why does this shield look so familiar? Is this possibly..."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Yong had already opened another image, showing a sleek black flying vessel hovering above the ground in the middle of a forest.
Shi Yong enlarged the picture, focusing on something that looked like an emblem at the front of the vessel.
"A shield! It’s the shield from this emblem! They’re almost identical!!"
Finally, someone realized the connection.
Zhou Yu pondered, "Could this shield have some sort of connection with that mysterious person we saw last time? Or is this just a coincidence?"
Shi Yong answered, "This is definitely not a coincidence. I’ve been looking for a shield for a long time and haven’t found any similar ones. You see the Sun on this one, and the position of the swords on either side, they’re exactly the same as on that flying vessel."
"So, I speculate that there definitely is some connection between them; maybe this shield is part of that emblem..."
The alarm clock slapped the chair and laughed, "Ha, what did I say? What did I say? I told you shifting focus to something else would surely yield results; you didn’t listen! I knew from the start that there was something fishy about this place..."
The crowd shouted in unison.
Shi Yong continued, "This is the seller’s address information, located at 33 Stel Street in Woodstock Town, Oxford County, England. It’s a former estate of nobles, and the item was sold from this place; all we need to do is investigate here first."
