Chapter: 5439
Ou Shu opened his mouth and said: "I just heard the commanding officer say that they have an order from above to fill this place in within 72 hours."
Ou Shaohang helplessly said: "In such a situation, without heavy machinery, it's impossible to find any clues. Now they're not investigating, and we can't mobilize equipment to follow up on the investigation either. By the time they finish filling this area, we'll be unable to find any more clues... "
"It's hopeless." Ou Shu sighed wistfully and said: "They'll immediately evacuate all personnel from the collapsed area, and at that time, we won't be able to sneak in and search for clues under their noses. Moreover, they'll start filling it up soon, so it's pointless for us to stay here any longer. Let's just leave this place and report back to the English monarch, see what His Majesty has instructed."
"Alright!" The others knew that there was no way out, so they all agreed.
Subsequently, a few people returned to their previous parking spot.
Ou Shu told the others: "You guys go farther away, I'm going to report back to the English monarch in my car."
A few people nodded simultaneously and walked away in the opposite direction, getting quite far.
Wu Shusong then got into his car, took out his phone, and used a specialized communication software to make a voice call to the English monarch.
The phone connected, and the English monarch asked him: "Have you found any clues?"
Wu Shusong replied hastily: "Reporting to the English monarch, I have already arrived at the copper mine location for investigation. However, the entire copper mine has collapsed from the bottom up, and its surface part has completely caved in to become a ruin, with nothing left but debris. The whole scene is just a pile of rubble, and there's no clue left..."
The English monarch questioned sternly: "What kind of situation is this?! Such a massive base just disappears like that?! What about the people inside?! Were they all killed?!"
Wu Shusong said nervously: "Reporting to the English monarch, I have no idea what's going on with the people inside. Originally, we still had hope for the investigation by the authorities of Cyprus. However, they are now ordering to fill in the whole area, claiming that the copper mine has reached its lifespan and is being abandoned. The place is heavily guarded, making it impossible for me to investigate further..."
The English monarch asked coldly: "Why are the authorities of Cyprus so eager to fill this place in? Are they hiding some evidence that can't be disclosed to the public?! That's why we mustn't let our guard down!"
Wu Shusong's heart tightened. He didn't expect the English monarch to grasp the key point so quickly.
But there was no turning back now.
He dare not take responsibility for the entire base being occupied by others, including the death of Lord Europe, and only wanted to inform the English monarch that this place was destroyed because of an extremely powerful mysterious enemy, just like the failure in New York and Northern Europe, which was not due to our own weakness but rather the enemy's strength.
So, he could only say resolutely: "Your Majesty, I think that Lord Europe and those who are stationed here may have already died. It's possible that the enemy took advantage of their momentary lapse and slaughtered them all......"
"...slaughtered..." The monarch murmured to himself: "Who could possibly slaughter someone as strong as Lord Europe?! "
Wu Shusong sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know who is behind this. Please take responsibility!"
After a while, the monarch spoke despondently: "Well, it seems that this world isn't what I thought it was. I was too optimistic..."
He then said, "Alright, you may withdraw now. Don't mention this to anyone else. Anyone who does will be executed on the spot!"
Wu Shusong heard these words and completely put his mind at ease.
As the right commander-in-chief of the Western Army Bureau, he was one of the monarch's most trusted officials. He knew the inner workings of the Breakthrough Council.
In the Breakthrough Council, the five bureaus operated independently of each other. No one knew the specifics of the other four bureaus, including where they were located, how many people they had under their command, how many stationed soldiers, or even high-level masters.
Furthermore, each bureau also had a strict information firewall within. JrNovels.com
