Lu Yan's phone had a global positioning system, which, aside from malfunctioning in the presence of pollutants, worked well in other aspects.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan soaked in the water for two minutes, and he saw a huge shadow appear on the horizon.
Squinting, Lu Yan said to the system, "Did his wings seem longer?"
Previously, the dragon's wingspan was about three to four meters, but now it was at least five meters or more.
The system sincerely cautioned, "Yes, people have also become heavier. This is the inevitable result of evolution. The weight of the dog dragon has increased to 700 catties. You must be careful when taking elevators with him in public places in the future."
A black figure appeared instantly and landed in front of him. According to the plan, the next step should be for the dragon to snatch away the princess.
Lu Yan looked up at Tang Xunan's golden eyes, vibrant like golden sunlight.
Although Lu Yan had never been particularly sensitive to the appearances of others, having stared at his own face in the mirror since childhood, he still felt that Tang Xunan's features were very suitable, possessing a sharp beauty, like a sharp knife.
But whenever that knife was aimed at him, it always seemed restrained, as if afraid of injuring him.
The system said, "According to some love marketing accounts, falling in love at first sight could happen after staring at each other for more than 5 seconds. Now that you've stared at each other for more than 10 seconds, I think this is a dangerous signal... Well, okay, I admit, I'm a little jealous. I've terminated the child. I wish you both happiness."
Lu Yan asked, "Where did we get a child from?"
"You big fool."
Lu Yan admitted that he had been bewitched by Tang Xunan's face for a while, but because the system really knew how to ruin the atmosphere, Lu Yan snapped out of it.
Tang Xunan half-fell into the water, his wings behind him damp, and asked, "Can I hug you?"
Lu Yan thought for a moment. "Sure."
Although the memory wasn't very deep, Lu Yan remembered being hugged before, by people like Bai Qiushi and Michael.
Lu Yan thought Tang Xunan's mention of a hug meant flying in the sky. Instead, the other party opened his arms and hugged him tightly all at once.
So, this hug was an embrace.
Tang Xunan sniffed the scent on Lu Yan's body and didn't smell blood. This made him feel much relieved.
"Is the mission completed?" he asked.
Lu Yan replied, "The Sea God is dead."
"A few days ago, satellite surveillance detected a brief outbreak of strong pollution levels in Changjia. Later, the overall pollution concentration continued to decline. At that time, various parties had already started speculating."
The focus of speculation: Did the unnamed big shot who took the Divine Realm operation really solve the Divine Realm?
Although it seemed unlikely, this seemed to be the only explanation.
Lu Yan could already imagine the stir it would cause when he submitted Ning Huai's mission report to headquarters.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he had single-handedly completed this impossible mission.
Lu Yan thought for a moment. "I want to go to the nearest Contamination Disease Prevention and Control Center."
"And then?"
"Rest at home for two days."
This was probably also the reason why headquarters tirelessly gave property to the Harbingers.
No matter how strong a person was, they always had to go home.
With a home, there were still ties, things to protect, and concerns for human society.
Tang Xunan didn't ask anything else.
In fact, just seeing Lu Yan appearing safe and sound made him very satisfied.
He flapped his wings slightly, shaking off the water droplets on his scales, and tucked Lu Yan's head into his armpit. "Then let's go to the prevention and control center first. The wind will be strong later."
Tang Xunan soared into the air, and the sound of the wind greeted them.
Lu Yan looked down and saw endless oceans all around. Occasionally, dolphins leaped out of the water. Because Changjia had completely fallen, the water quality near this island nation was very good.
Flying in the sky was quite exciting, giving a sensation similar to parachuting.
Lu Yan's heart beat a little faster.
The system suddenly became furious: "This dog! There's a ship a few kilometers away, but he insists on flying back with you! Who does he think he is! Can't headquarters send someone to manage him?!"
The nearest Contamination Disease Prevention and Control Center headquarters to them was on an island.
The island had clear water and coral reefs underwater, with several high-rise buildings at its center.
"Because ocean pollution diseases are becoming increasingly serious, headquarters has also set up checkpoints on the ocean. This is mainly to facilitate monitoring of ocean pollutants and transmit intelligence back to the ground as soon as possible," Tang Xunan explained.
In coastal areas, pollutants from the ocean would occasionally come ashore for hunting. These pollutants had evolved for a longer time and were harder to deal with.
Ocean pollution prevention and control had become the latest global issue.
There were no ordinary residents on this island, only relevant personnel. A base had been built in the center of the island.
Half of the base was the prevention and control center and living area, and the other half was a dock repair factory. The personnel inside were researchers from the Fifth Research Institute, responsible for repairing damaged ships.
Tang Xunan gently placed Lu Yan on the ground.
The system was furious again: "This scheming dragon! He did it on purpose. Clearly, he could have put you down when there was no one on the island, but he had to wait until he got to the doorstep of the prevention and control center to put you down. Now everyone on the island knows!"
Lu Yan felt the system's words were a bit exaggerated.
It was three in the morning, and although the Contamination Disease Prevention and Control Center operated 24 hours a day, there were few people on duty at this hour.
Upon seeing unfamiliar faces enter, the receptionist instantly perked up: "Good evening, gentlemen. This is the Contamination Disease Prevention and Control Center on Tongtai Island."
Tang Xunan took out his staff card from his pocket: "We need two rooms, preferably adjoining."
The center provided accommodations and meals for the Harbingers free of charge.
The system sneered: "He's so adept at this. Must have been booking rooms for people for decades."
When the staff saw the "S-level" mark on the staff card, they snapped to attention. In the entire Special Operations Department, there was only one person with an S-level ranking. Their expressions became reverent, and one of them respectfully handed over the room keys: "If you need anything, feel free to contact the front desk. My employee ID is GX*****."
Although it was a small island, there were surprisingly good amenities. The rooms had bedrooms, living rooms, private bathrooms, and even a kitchen, complete with unopened disposable tableware.
Because it was an island, opening the windows revealed pristine beaches and azure seas.
The system commented: "When there weren't widespread outbreaks of contamination diseases, many people used to come here for vacation. Later, due to the high risks of going out to sea, various areas banned sea travel, and the tourist islands fell into disuse. This base was converted from a tourist area, so the facilities are naturally good."
Lu Yan took a shower, changed into pajamas, and used the computer provided by the front desk to log into his forum account.
For real-name tasks, he could submit them directly at the prevention and control center. For anonymous tasks, he needed to log in with his forum account and submit relevant materials. After verification, appropriate rewards would be given.
Lu Yan took out the documents written by Ning Huai and others from his waterproof bag, scanned and uploaded them to the backend, and briefly summarized the mission process.
