# Chapter 680: Understand! We All Understand
Hurrying all the way to Rongcheng Military Base, the group didn't waste any time. They boarded a transport plane and flew straight toward the Pacific Ocean!
The noisy roar of engines echoed in their ears. The veteran students were fine, but the new students couldn't help but feel nervous!
Dry lips, cold hands and feet—everyone wore a tense expression!
In their minds, they imagined all sorts of possible scenarios. Even Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao had sweaty palms!
In the silent cabin, no one spoke.
Jiangnan suddenly spoke up: "At a time like this, you absolutely must not take out a photo and say you're going to get married when you get back!"
"Or pull out some little trinket and say it's from your little sister, that she's just a few years old, super cute, and that you'll take her to the amusement park when you get back—stuff like that, oh!"
"If you bite it like that, don't blame me!"
The team members' expressions stiffened, then one by one their faces turned red from holding back, until they finally couldn't help but burst out laughing!
"Pfft hahaha, no way no way, we still want to live!"
"South God, you've been watching too many movies and TV shows, haven't you? Holy meow, don't set up flags!"
"Even if we had little sisters, we wouldn't dare say it in front of you! South God, your reputation as the dream of nine hundred million girls is huge!"
The atmosphere in the cabin instantly became lively, sweeping away the heaviness.
Xiao Zhen secretly gave Jiangnan a thumbs up.
Seeing Jiangnan grin, he stood up and pulled out a projector from the Alternate Dimension!
"Anyone want to watch a cartoon? A few new movies released this year look pretty good!"
An Xiaoqi and Xiong Er's eyes lit up, and they quickly raised their hands: "We want to watch!"
The team members were dumbfounded. South God, your gear is way too comprehensive—you even carry a projector?
Jiangnan set up the projector right there in the cabin, and everyone's attention was drawn to the movie!
From time to time, laughter of "hehehe" rang out.
Tao Xinyi stared blankly at the scene. Isn't this atmosphere a bit too cheerful?
Were they going on a raid or a spring outing?
However, when she looked at Jiangnan again, she found him curled up in a corner, frowning, flipping through the Abyss documents over and over.
A gentle smile appeared on Tao Xinyi's face.
After flying for a full night, at 5 a.m., the pilot's cabin broadcasted:
"Arrived at designated airspace. The Abyss has a no-fly zone within 500 kilometers. We cannot go further, otherwise we'd violate international agreements."
"Below is the Pekusu Islands. There is no airport. Everyone, prepare for parachuting!"
The team members' expressions tightened. Finally arrived?
As the cabin door opened, wind howled, and the azure Pacific Ocean came into view below!
Below were the Pekusu Islands, but from the sky, they were only the size of a pinpoint.
Seeing Jiangnan stand up and stride toward the cabin door: "Let's go!"
Immediately, Zhong Yingxue, Qin Shou, and a dozen others stood up too.
Xiao Zhen was stunned: "Hey, wait a moment!"
Tao Xinyi: "Weren't we supposed to parachute? The parachute packs haven't been distributed yet! We..."
Qin Shou chuckled: "When going on a mission with South God, you don't need a parachute for jumping!"
Saying that, he took the lead and dove down.
Jiangnan: "(emoticon) Understand me, oh? Just dive and it'll be fine! I'll guarantee you all land safely!"
"Parachuting makes too big a target. Who knows what the situation is on Pekusu Island?"
Saying that, he plunged down headfirst.
Some who had been on a few missions with Jiangnan clearly understood his style.
The dozen or so all jumped down after him.
Mo Tian's big eyes were full of excitement: "It's this thrilling right from the start? I'm coming!"
Saying that, she trotted over, spread her arms, and dove down.
The veteran students swallowed their saliva. Holy meow, absolutely insane!
One by one, they steeled themselves and jumped too.
Pilot: "The parachute packs are in the compartment behind the seats. Check the instruction manual if you don't know how to use them. I wish you all a good... Holy crap!"
The pilot looked back from the cockpit into the cabin, his face full of horror.
Not a single parachute pack was missing, and the cabin was empty...
"This... this is so beastly?"
[Wang Wei's resentment value +666!]
On the transport plane, everyone jumped down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Some who could fly flew on their own, while Jiangnan whipped out Void Chains and pulled the "dumplings" back.
A few teleports, and everyone landed safely on the beach.
Many team members were so excited their faces were red. This was way too thrilling!
Under the blazing sun, waves crashed on the white sand beach, with a gentle sea breeze.
Only then did the students truly realize they were already abroad; the mission had begun.
Jiangnan: "Perception-type, be alert to the surroundings. Confirm whether the environment is safe!"
Xiao Zhen approached and said: "First, find a base on Pekusu Island, then rent a boat."
"Currently, the Abyss has set up checkpoints. It'll probably take a while to get in. Today might not be enough."
The Abyss was over two hundred nautical miles at sea from the Pekusu Islands. So many people naturally couldn't swim there.
Jiangnan glanced at the time: "No need. The timing should be about right. Let's wait a bit longer. Once we're here, it's like being home."
Xiao Zhen: ???
Home?
Before everyone could figure out what was going on, they saw wind howling on the distant sea surface.
An oversized armed hovercraft was churning up trails of white foam as it sped toward the shore!
The cabin alone was as tall as a three-story building, with figures moving on the deck.
At that moment, all team members' nerves tensed up.
Xiao Zhen narrowed his eyes: "Unidentified personnel appear. Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Instantly, spirit energy surged on everyone.
Jiangnan waved his hand: "Don't attack. That's my precious hovercraft. Don't damage it on me!"
Everyone was bewildered.
What do you mean it's your boat?
"Ah! I get it. Whatever South God sees belongs to South God!"
"Haha! Perfect, no need to rent a boat. Let's snatch it!"
"Everyone be careful later, don't damage the boat. South God still wants it!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Don't jump to conclusions, okay? That's mine to begin with!"
Everyone nodded in unison: "(emoticon)"
"Understand! We all understand!"
Jiangnan: !!!
As the armed hovercraft approached the coast, they saw a hundred or so mercenaries standing on the deck, shirtless and carrying guns.
Their levels weren't bad either. Aside from a dozen Silver, the rest were all Gold!
Leading them was a shirtless black muscular man with dreadlocks and a headband.
There was a vicious scar on his face. He was at Platinum rank and looked very formidable.
But that scarred muscular man was standing on the deck, waving excitedly.
"Boss South God! Over here! I've come to pick you all up!"
Xiao Zhen and the others, who were about to act, had their spirit energy falter. They all looked at Jiangnan in shock.
Tao Xinyi's eyes went wide too.
Boss South God?
All these are Jiangnan's people?
What's going on?
When did Jiangnan get his own subordinates in the Abyss region?
Just arrived at Pekusu Island, and within 10 minutes, someone came to pick them up. Could the arrangements be any more thorough?
Jiangnan's expression stiffened. The moment he saw the effeminate movements of that scarred muscular man, he knew.
It must be Gu Xiaowei transformed again, right?
But this time, the transformation was indeed a bit wild.
Jiangnan called out: "What are you all standing around for? Board the ship. They're all my people."
With that, he picked up Mila and teleported onto the ship.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao covered their faces. Little Nan was way too resourceful?
When did he make arrangements in the Abyss too?
The team members boarded the ship one after another, their eyes shining brightly at the armed hovercraft.
The autocannons on the rail and the main cannons on the deck were all real!
Jiangnan threw an arm around the scarred muscular man, Gu Xiaowei.
"Tell them, isn't this my precious hovercraft?"
Gu Xiaowei chuckled: "It's South God's ship. The name signed on the contract is Jiangnan."
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips: "Believe me now?"
Still want to snatch it? Am I going to rob myself?
Qi Yu's eyes sparkled: "South God, how much did you spend to get this boat? At least thirty or fifty thousand, right?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Didn't spend a cent. I got it by my own skills—scammed it!"
All students: "(emoticon)"
Why does that sound completely fitting?
Xiao Zhen: "Where are we going next? Straight to the Abyss Nightless City?"
Jiangnan shook his head: "My people over at Abyss Nightless City are already making arrangements. Looks like we can enter around 8 p.m."
"Let's go to the island first."
Mo Tian was taken aback: "What island? There are only a few islands in the Abyss waters, and they've all been occupied by major powers. We..."
Jiangnan: "One of those islands is mine."
The expressions on the students' faces froze, and they drew in a sharp breath.
An island?
You actually have an island in the Abyss waters, damn it?
Xiao Zhen stammered: "This... this island, you also got it by your own skills—scammed it?"
Jiangnan: "(shrug emoticon)"
"Of course!"
[Xiao Zhen's resentment value +666!]
Is this the ultimate humblebrag?
We can accept you scamming a boat.
But can you even scam something like an island?
No wonder Jiangnan said once we're here, we're home. Turns out he's on the level of an old landlord!
The armed hovercraft sped across the sea, heading straight for Dandelion Island.
Jiangnan turned and asked: "Why bring so many mercenaries to pick us up? Has it been unstable lately?"
Gu Xiaowei nodded heavily: "The Abyss mutation has had a huge impact. If not for the Small Soybean, Dandelion would probably be in chaos too."
Jiangnan frowned: "Where's Yao Hong?"
"Sister Hong is still in Nightless City, waiting..."
Before Gu Xiaowei could finish, Jiangnan raised his hand and released a Spatial Barrier!
"Clang!"
A bullet slammed fiercely into it, flattening into a pancake and falling weakly onto the deck.
On the horizon, a gray armed speedboat was speeding toward them!
And it wasn't just one!
Behind it followed five black speedboats with many people on board.
The machine gun on the deck of the distant gray armed speedboat was spitting fire.
Before the sound of gunfire was heard, bullets had already flown over.
They hit the deck of the hovercraft and Jiangnan's Spatial Barrier.
Jiangnan squinted: "Spirit-Binding Bullets! Everyone, enter combat status!"
"These precious speedboats! I'm taking them!"
