Chapter 617 - 615: Eagle Country Troops
Just as Kalu and the others were shocked by the bodies under the Divine Temple’s door, a sudden sound of rotor blades cutting through the air came from afar.
The five looked up and saw several helicopters flying towards them from the distant horizon.
"What’s going on?"
"Could we have been discovered?"
Kalu and the others were naturally bewildered, at a loss for what to do.
"Didn’t we just quietly slip through the naval blockade?"
"Do they really need to send armed helicopters to catch us?"
As the noise from the helicopters grew louder, Cao Rui already recognized that these were armed helicopters and couldn’t help but exclaim.
The personnel on the armed helicopters seemed to have also spotted Kalu and the others. The searchlights shone directly on the five of them, freezing them on the spot.
It wasn’t that Kalu and the others didn’t want to move, but under the infrared laser sights, they didn’t dare!
Soon, several armed helicopters were hovering over the island.
Nearly thirty fully-armed special forces soldiers quickly descended from the armed helicopters.
The moment they set foot on the island, they immediately surrounded Kalu and the others.
Cao Rui glanced at the patches on the shoulders of these special forces soldiers...
Yes, they’re from Eagle Country!
With so many gun barrels pointed at them, Kalu and the others had no choice but to obediently raise their hands.
Since the others weren’t speaking, they dared not speak either.
At this moment, a tall, resolute-looking Black officer, accompanied by another middle-aged man with black-framed glasses, walked over.
"What are you doing here?"
The middle-aged man with black-framed glasses looked at the five and asked.
"We’re live streamers, here to broadcast!"
Kalu immediately forced a smile onto his face and replied.
"Hmm? A broadcast?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but frown.
"Yes, yes, just here to broadcast!"
Kalu nodded repeatedly and then handed his phone over to them.
The middle-aged man glanced at the phone, indeed seeing a live stream where the viewers were asking why the host hadn’t entered the Blood-colored Divine Temple.
"How did you know that the Blood-colored Divine Temple is here?"
The middle-aged man questioned again.
"I overheard the police talking about it while working at a restaurant."
Kalu dared not hide anything and quickly relayed everything he had heard.
After hearing it, the middle-aged man’s frown deepened.
He was the one named Diego who had come to the island earlier.
After Lieutenant Hussein and his team broke into the Blood-colored Divine Temple, he reported everything happening on the island to the Prime Minister.
After some deliberation, the higher-ups decided to disclose the information to the Eagle Country Military.
Once the Eagle Country Military received the information, they immediately dispatched a special operations unit.
Diego had come this time to guide this special operations unit.
He just hadn’t expected that the situation regarding the Blood-colored Divine Temple would leak out so quickly.
He was sure that if the Blood-colored Divine Temple remained here and didn’t disappear, it wouldn’t take two days before people from all parties would break through the naval blockades to investigate.
"Sigh!"
Thinking of this, Diego couldn’t help but sigh internally.
In such a vast ocean, completely blocking it off is extremely difficult.
As for blockading around the island?
That’s simply impossible!
The Blood-colored Divine Temple seems to exert an extraordinary allure to certain people.
Lieutenant Hussein and his men felt this allure, becoming particularly frenzied, even going so far as to attack their own...
Because of this, who would dare let the navy get too close to this island?
Aren’t they afraid of more deaths?
"Lieutenant Marcus, they’re all here to broadcast..."
Diego turned his head and told the nearby Black officer about Kalu and the others.
After listening to Diego’s account, the Black officer Marcus also frowned.
He glanced at Kalu and the others and said coldly, "Take them with us, we can’t let them leave!"
"Alright!"
Upon hearing this, Diego nodded slightly and then looked at Kalu and the others.
He said in a stern voice, "To prevent you from leaking tonight’s operation, you must temporarily stay with us and not leave the team."
"Otherwise, hmph..."
His meaning was clear without needing to be stated.
After hearing this, Kalu and the others quickly agreed: "Sir, don’t worry, we absolutely won’t leave the team!"
Looking at those gun barrels, who would dare not comply?
Who really thinks their life is too long?
"Also, turn off your live stream!"
Diego suddenly remembered the five were still streaming and immediately demanded coldly.
Hearing this, Kalu and the others couldn’t help but look distressed.
They had just tasted the sweetness of going viral, only to encounter this huge trouble!
Although they were very unwilling, they had to bow their heads under the eaves!
Kalu and Cao Rui dared not think of any defiance; at the request of the others, they turned off their current broadcast.
They did have some thoughts of secretly keeping a phone for streaming.
But thinking about it carefully, if discovered, a single bullet could take their lives.
To be safe, it was best to be honest.
After all, since they came to understand things, they had never heard of anyone reasoning with the Eagle Country soldiers.
After handling the matters regarding Kalu and the five, Lieutenant Marcus promptly led the team to the Blood-colored Divine Temple’s doors.
Looking at the dried-up corpses under the doors, Diego sighed, "To open this door, it requires human flesh and blood!"
"Whether it’s the living or the dead, it seems to work..."
"Hmm!"
Lieutenant Marcus nodded slightly upon hearing this.
He had heard of the requirements to open this door before, so he was already prepared.
Under his signal, several Eagle Country soldiers pushed a cartload of bodies around from the rear.
On these carts lay about a dozen corpses, tangled and heaped.
These bodies were temporarily gathered from executed criminals.
Some of them hadn’t yet reached their execution dates, but moving up those dates didn’t seem to be an issue either.
"Don’t get too close to that door!"
"Pay attention to those long vines on the door!"
"Absolutely do not let those vines wrap around you..."
Diego repeatedly warned these Eagle Country soldiers.
In normal times, these soldiers from Eagle Country would have been impatient by now.
But it seemed they also knew that this mission was extremely dangerous, so they cautiously tossed the bodies forward, avoiding getting too close to the door.
As the corpses were thrown down, the long vines entwined on the blood-colored door instantly came to life.
They extended their tendrils, piercing into the flesh of the corpses, and began to absorb the blood and flesh.
Within minutes, these bodies became shriveled, appearing like mummies.
Such a scene naturally scared the wits out of Kalu and the others.
At the same time, they felt immense relief.
If it hadn’t been for the timely arrival of these Eagle Country soldiers, they, completely unaware, might have become the food for these blood-colored vines...
