Chapter 749 The Mysterious Island

Catherine followed Wantel from Alton to Snake Island on a private plane. Upon disembarking from the plane and faced with all kinds of poisonous snakes in the dense bushes, Wantel couldn’t help but shudder all over, but Catherine didn’t even frown.

“Catherine, let me accompany you,” Wantel said, concerned. He was worried sick about Catherine. This time, she was going to Florona alone, and he found it terrifying to even think about it. Florona was an eerie place, and once outsiders entered, they would never have a chance to leave. Last time, Catherine managed to come out of Florona solely relying on her strong physique and extraordinary intelligence. Even so, it was a close call. This time, he wondered if she could come out safely.

“No need!” Catherine refused Wantel’s proposal without hesitation. That place was too dangerous, and she could handle it alone. She didn’t want to get Wantel in trouble.

Wantel knew that once Catherine made a decision, no one could change her mind. He knew he couldn’t persuade her, so he could only do his best to help her. “Catherine, since I can’t accompany you, I’ll stay on Snake Island and wait for you.”

Catherine scanned the restless, poisonous snakes nearby and chuckled. “What? Are you not afraid of snakes anymore?”

Just mentioning the word “snake” made Wantel shudder. He was scared, but he was willing to sacrifice everything for Catherine. He looked at Catherine with a serious expression and said, “I’m not afraid of them,

Catherine, really. I’ll wait for you here until you come back.” He was very serious without a hint of joking in his tone. Although he couldn’t go to Florona with Catherine, being closer to her was enough to comfort him.

Florona was a mysterious place in West Patrific. Very few people knew its true location, and Catherine was one of them. To reach Florona, one had to pass through Snake Island which was full of poisonous snakes. For those unfamiliar with the island, it was a death sentence to set foot there.

They had been to Snake Island before and had studied the poisonous snakes there. Connie developed a universal serum capable of neutralizing the venom of the snakes. She also created a special ointment with a peculiar smell that, although unpleasant, could keep the snakes at bay, even preventing venomous creatures from coming near.

Between Snake Island and Florona, there was a stretch of sea with a peculiar feature. Regardless of whether it was a ship or a plane passing through here, the radar automatically failed.

The sea was rough with numerous whirlpools. For foreign ships and planes entering this area, the chances of survival were slim. Only the ships from Florona knew how to avoid the whirlpools and safely navigate this sea area. This was also the reason why even if the outside world knew the coordinates of Florona, they couldn’t enter. At the same time, this was also the reason why people couldn’t leave Florona. For so many years, only Catherine was an exception.

As the sun was about to set, Catherine didn’t have much time to waste here. She had only asked Branden for three days. If she couldn’t return within three days, according to Branden’s personality, he would definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. Once he knew she had come to Florona, he would definitely rush over, and that would be the real trouble.

Right now, Catherine could only act quickly and decisively, striving to complete the mission within three days, so that even if Branden found out after she returned, the matter would already be settled, and he wouldn’t be able to do much about it.

“Catherine, please be careful. If anything happens, contact me, and I will bring people to find you,” Wantel said as he repeatedly reminded Catherine while seeing her off on the boat. Catherine waved to him and left.

The strong magnetic force in the sea area rendered even the compass useless, let alone the navigation system. A large ship would be too conspicuous and easily noticed by the people from Florona, which might cause trouble for her. Therefore, Catherine decided to enter Florona on a small boat. She had crossed this sea area once before, and with her fantastic memory, doing it again wasn’t difficult.

The dangers of this journey were obvious to Catherine. The seemingly calm sea surface could turn ferocious in the next second, and a huge wave could easily tear the small boat to shreds.

Fortunately, Catherine’s luck on this trip was not too bad, and she didn’t encounter extreme weather. Relying almost entirely on her memory of the route, she made her way to the vicinity of Florona. It was monitored from all sides, and to enter, one could only go through the northernmost cliff.

Catherine had to climb the hundred- yard cliff with her bare hands to reach Florona. This was almost an impossible task, but in order to avoid alerting the guards, she still chose the most difficult path. She arrived at the northern cliff and, after hiding the boat, took out the climbing equipment to prepare for the ascent.

Unlike regular outdoor rock climbing, the cliff here had become extremely smooth after years of being washed by the sea. Even if the earth were turned upside down, it would be easy to slip on it, let alone climb it with bare hands. Even for a climbing expert like Catherine, such a decision required exceptional care and caution.

Luckily, before setting off, Catherine had brought the suction cup gloves developed by Wantel. These gloves simulated the palm of a frog, allowing her hands to easily adhere to the smooth surface. With the help of these gloves, Catherine slowly climbed the hundred-yard cliff and successfully entered the territory of Florona.

Catherine had only just entered this territory, but finding Branden’s mother within it would be even more challenging than landing on Mars.

Catherine crept forward, taking advantage of the gradually darkening sky, which provided her with excellent camouflage. As the sky gradually darkened, she quietly arrived at an uninhabited area and changed into the unique clothing of Florona.

In this place, most women covered their faces with veils to hide their features. So, Catherine swapped her usual attire for a dress and put a veil on her face as a disguise.

Catherine’s priority now was to solve the accommodation problem for tonight. There were no hotels on the island of Florona. Everyone had a house

here. As long as one became a citizen, each household could receive a house.

In the economically developed Florona, citizens relied on the organization’s distribution of necessities. They could live peacefully here without even contributing too much.

No one knew the economic source of Florona. They seemed to receive a continuous income without doing anything. Some had speculated that Florona’s economic source mainly relied on donations because every citizen admitted to Florona had to offer all their property. However, the number of citizens admitted to Florona each year was pitifully small, and even if those people were all extremely wealthy, their assets were not enough to provide for the lives of all the people on the island.

Florona’s assets, like the mysterious island itself, were completely inscrutable to the outside world.
