Chapter 689
Chapter 689 Isabella said coldly at Wilbur's question, ""Are you questioning our abilities?" "I'm not. It's just that there's no point in numbers if this is a paranormal incident," Wilbur replied earnestly.
Isabella raised an eyebrow and said, "Honestly, I'm skeptical about your department. Are there really paranormal events in the world?" "Isn't it staring at you in the face right now? You're an Aura level cultivator yourself. Shouldn't you have some understanding of paranormal phenomena?" Wilbur asked.
Isabella was taken aback as she measured Wilbur from head to toe.
After a long time, she slowly said, "Fine, I'll be your guide. Let me see what the Department of Paranormal Research and
Defense is capable of." After that, Isabella immediately ordered her subordinates to fill the trunk of her car with water and military rations, as well as a few buckets of gasoline.
""'Shall we?" Isabella got into the car, looking at Wilbur and Ryder calmly.
Wilbur knew that Isabella was not very happy about the situation.
However, he did not want to explain that much, and Ryder did not like talking either.
The two of them got in the car, sitting in the backseat.
Isabella said nothing and stepped on the gas. The engine roared as they left the department.
At about two in the afternoon, the car was driving along the desert.
As far as the eye could see, sand dunesConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
rose and fell, matching the scorching sun and creating a magnificent landscape.
Wilbur enjoyed the unique scenery of the desert and felt extremely relaxed.
It had been a long time since he came to somewhere so beautiful.
However, Isabella said at that moment, "Don't be fooled by the beauty here. The further we go, the more dangerous it will be. This desert is famous for constantly shifting. The roads can disappear at any moment, and we could be caught in a sandstorm at any time as well. This place is three hundred and thirty thousand square kilometers wide. The moment you get lost, you'll be in incredible danger.
Three hundred and thirty square kilometers! If a normal person got lost, it would be as good as a death sentence.
It would probably be dangerous for an Ambience level cultivator as well.
After all, they were talking about hundreds of thousands of kilometers. It was not the distance that one could walk out even over ten days.
Not eating for ten days was one thing, but ten days without water would be hard even for an Ambience level cultivator.
Even those at the Sanctuary level would have problems not eating or drinking for amonth.
"If we're caught in a sandstorm, even our satellite phone will lose signal, so don't think of this as an easy trip," Isabella explained.
Wilbur shrugged and said, "Thank you for your information." Since Isabella had doubts about them, Wilbur did not say much.
Just like that, they arrived in the middle of the desert at about five in the afternoon.
At that moment, a convoy of cars actually appeared in front of them, slowly moving forward.
There were seven vehicles in total, and all of them were off-road vehicles.
Isabella frowned and immediately sped past them, stopping the cars.
Wilbur and Ryder watched on from inside the car.
A few people got out of the car in the lead.
Their faces were all covered in veils, and they had training outfits on. They were all tall and sturdy.
Isabella scrutinized them and asked, "What are you doing here?" "We're on vacation, what about you?" A man said with a hoarse voice.
Isabella showed her identification and said, "Anti-Terrorism Department. State your identity and purpose."
They fell silent for a moment before they slowly said, "We're just off-road enthusiasts from Tarc City. We have our credentials with us. This is just a voluntary desert event." Wilbur looked over. A few men in the vehicles behind them had already picked up submachine guns.
An Aura level cultivator could not take so many shots.
Wilbur got out of the car and walked in front of Isabella. "We're still busy. Let's not waste our time here, okay?" "They're very suspicious. I need to inspect their vehicles right now. Tell everyone to exit the vehicles and raise their hands above their heads. Stand in a line away from the cars." Isabella drew her pistol, pointing it at the man in the lead as she shouted out.
The man fell silent for a moment before he looked at the cars behind him.
