Here, Netero's actions were very quick.
After finalizing the next action plan, it was put into practice immediately.
The contact with the Fānlīn Medical College was very smooth. Dr. Lee, a famous expert in this field, brought a large number of medical equipment and some professionals. Under the leadership of Knov and Morel, they successfully returned to the Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region.
And returning here with them, there are also…
"So knuckle and Shoot lost, huh?"
Morel looked at the four people standing before him, Gon, Killua, and their companions. He no longer bared his teeth in a grin. Gon and Killua, holding the wooden tiles, stood before him, confirming that Shoot and Knuckle had been defeated in this competition.
This made Morel realize he might have misjudged things.
He knew exactly how strong his two disciples were. Yet, despite their abilities, they still lost to these two kids, kids he had once mocked.
It left Morel feeling slightly embarrassed.
More importantly, it was a wake-up call. If these two kids, who had just defeated his disciples, felt fear in the face of the royal guard, then perhaps those enemies truly were as terrifyingly powerful as they said.
Moreover, with Netero's assessment of their strength…
It all made Morel rethink just how serious the Chimera Ant crisis really was.
As for why there were four people standing before them, aside from Gon and Killua, the victors, there was also…
"Even you are here, huh?"
Looking at his apprentice, Palm, in front of him, who was timid and disheveled but still very embarrassed and wanted to hide behind a big tree, exuding two completely different feelings of low pressure and shyness.
Even Knov couldn't help but hold his glasses, and the calmness and indifference on his face faded slightly: "You shouldn't have come here; it's too dangerous here."
"I, I just..."
Hearing such gentle and caring words from her teacher, Palm felt her heart pounding.
She suppressed her shyness and whispered: "I miss you so much, Mr. Knov."
After Gon and Killua successfully defeated Knuckle, she also entered the NGL with them as she wished.
Knov didn't say much about this. He felt a certain pride knowing his disciple cared about him so much. Especially when compared to Morel, who now stood alone; his disciples had been eliminated and couldn't come in.
Without comparison, there is no harm. Besides, Palm's Nen ability could prove useful in tracking the Chimera Ants. Keeping her around wasn't a bad idea.
Knov didn't have any objection to this, but Morel saw it and smashed his pipe a few more times and then looked at Kite, who came silently and said: "Your master, Ging Freecss, hasn't he come yet?"
"Mr. Ging has come in."
Kite, who defeated Shoot and also got the qualification to enter the Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region, said calmly.
"He went to the nest of the Chimera Ants before me to deal with things..."
"Is Ging here too?!"
Kite hadn't finished his words when he heard Gon's slightly excited question next to him.
They had been walking all the way, and Kite hadn't heard anything about Ging yet.
"Mr. Ging is also very interested in creatures like Chimera Ants..."
Kite thought about it and recalled Ging's tone at the time. He couldn't help but affirm. "So, he entered here earlier than me."
"As for where he went specifically, he didn't tell me."
Kite didn't know exactly where Ging was, only that he was heading to the nest.
But knowing Ging's ways, and considering there was still another heavyweight figure missing from their group…
"Ging definitely went to find Lan!"
Gon and Killua looked at each other and said in unison.
If Ging had taken the initiative to move ahead, and there was another major figure involved… it could only be Lan.
"So that means..."
Gon's dark eyes lit up.
"If I go to the Chimera Ants' nest, I'll finally be able to meet Ging?!"
Excitement surged through him as he imagined the long-awaited reunion.
"As long as we go to the Chimera Ant nest, I can see Ging, right?!"
He was excited and had a beautiful dream... Well, with Ging's shy personality, how could he recognize Gon in front of so many people?
Even if he agreed to meet, he would choose the top of the world tree, a solitary environment where no one would disturb him. It can only be said that Gon's idea is doomed to fail. Meanwhile, Ging, who Gon was thinking about…
"So, is this the so-called Chimera Ant?"
In a dense forest, Ging stood on a big tree, looking down at a huge Chimera Ant lying in a pool of blood on the ground.
"It has the appearance and body of a crocodile, and it also has the wisdom and thinking ability of humans, but the essence of its body is that of an ant." Ging Freecss stroked his chin, and his eyes also showed a little interest.
"It is indeed a mutant species from the Dark Continent, and it is different from the ordinary Chimera Ants on the six continents."
He looked at Lan, who put away his gun: "How many have you taken down so far?"
Ever since arriving in the Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region, Ging has used a special phone to contact Lan immediately.
After learning that Lan was carrying out an extermination operation, Ging had decided to tag along.
Along the way, he had dissected and analyzed several slain Chimera Ants, gaining a basic understanding of their fusion with human genetics.
"We're almost done."
Lan stretched his waist slightly: "The Chimera Ants that wanted to run to the outside world have been killed."
Well, whether it was the squadron leaders or the officers under them, Lan almost killed them all. It can be said that as long as they ran out, they would inevitably be shot by him.
