The plane landed smoothly at the airport, and as the wheels touched down, the vibrations inside the cabin gradually diminished. Isabella unfastened her seatbelt and gathered her belongings, stepping off the aircraft alongside the other members. As she exited the cabin, she took a deep breath, feeling a wave of warm, humid air hit her; the climate here was vastly different from the urban environment she was accustomed to.
Standing on the tarmac, she observed the bustling scene not far away. Jonas was standing beside a large SUV, skillfully directing several mercenaries as they unloaded equipment and supplies from the plane, meticulously packing them into boxes and loading them onto the vehicle. His movements were swift and precise, his commands clear; every detail was executed with orderliness, without a hint of delay or chaos. The mercenaries acted quickly and efficiently under his guidance, making the entire process resemble a meticulously planned drill.
Isabella watched silently, yet an indescribable emotion surged within her. She knew that Jonas played the role of leader and security in their operations; his responsibility was to ensure the safety of the team and the transportation of supplies, which was also his forte. Despite this, Isabella felt an inexplicable hostility that lingered in her heart.
She couldn't fully explain the source of this feeling; perhaps it stemmed from Jonas's display of capabilities and leadership in these practical matters—qualities she felt she could not match. As a core member of the Light Activation Project, Isabella controlled everything in the laboratory, guiding every research detail to ensure the project's smooth progress. However, outside of the lab and faced with real-world challenges, she had to admit that Jonas was more suited for overseeing the overall situation.
This realization unsettled her and slightly bruised her self-esteem. She was used to being in control, accustomed to being a leader, but now she had to acknowledge that in this unfamiliar territory, Jonas's leadership was indispensable. His experience and practical skills exceeded her expectations, making her feel as though she had lost some control over the situation.
A slight heaviness settled in Isabella's heart, but she quickly adjusted her mindset. Regardless of her internal emotional turmoil, she knew she had to remain professional and composed. This operation was significant; personal feelings could not interfere with its execution. Taking a deep breath, she buried those complex emotions deep within herself and focused on the impending mission.
Standing on the tarmac, Isabella observed the seamless cooperation between Jonas and Raymond. She clearly understood Jonas's importance to this team. As a seasoned veteran, he possessed rich battlefield experience and leadership skills that earned him the respect and obedience of Raymond and those mercenaries.
Isabella had to admit that these were qualities she lacked. While she controlled everything in the lab and knew every detail of scientific research inside out, when faced with real-world challenges, she recognized that she did not possess Jonas's combat experience or command abilities. This exploration mission was fraught with uncertainties—the unknown dangers of the jungle, mysterious caves, and the legendary Black Rope Deity—all testing each member of this team.
For this reason, Isabella understood how crucial these armed forces were to the entire operation. She needed to maintain a good working relationship with Jonas, Raymond, and these mercenaries to ensure smooth progress for their plan. Although certain feelings towards Jonas were difficult to completely eliminate from her heart, reason told her that in such an environment filled with unknowns and dangers, personal emotions must yield to the greater good. Jonas's abilities and influence were essential guarantees for this mission.
Isabella took a deep breath and silently reminded herself to calm down. She understood that she needed to focus on the task at hand and set aside any irrelevant emotions. No matter how turbulent her feelings might be inside, she had to remain professional and concentrate on her work to ensure every aspect was flawless.
Turning her attention to her luggage, Isabella began checking those critical scientific instruments and materials essential for her research. These were tools she relied on heavily during this exploration; she needed to ensure everything was intact. She knew that every step ahead would be crucial, and her role was to embody a scientist's professionalism in revealing unknown truths during this operation.
As she refocused on her work at hand, Isabella felt her inner emotions gradually settle down. No matter what challenges lay ahead in this exploration mission, she was mentally prepared. Although battlefield command wasn't her strength, in the realm of science, she remained an irreplaceable core figure. In her heart, Isabella vowed that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, she would give her all to ensure the success of the Light Activation Project.
Once all the equipment and supplies were loaded onto the vehicle, the convoy was finally ready to depart. As the engine roared to life, the entire vehicle began to sway and jolt along the uneven road. Isabella and the other members sat inside, feeling the vibrations as the wheels rolled over the rough terrain. The moment the convoy left the airport, the outside scenery immediately turned desolate.
The view outside resembled a grim painting; years of civil war and conflict had plunged this South American country into endless chaos and poverty. Warlords fought for control, and their battles had brought this land to the brink of collapse. Dilapidated buildings, abandoned roads, and scattered refugee camps all bore witness to the suffering and despair that permeated this place. Armed soldiers and patrolling militia could be seen intermittently on the streets, watching passing vehicles with eyes full of distrust and hostility.
The atmosphere inside the vehicle grew tense as the mercenaries held their weapons, remaining on high alert. Their eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, as if ready to respond to any sudden danger. Jonas sat in the vehicle with a serious expression, his gaze shifting frequently to the window as he closely monitored every potential threat. This state of combat readiness had become instinctual for him; no matter where he was, he could quickly slip into this vigilant mindset.
Isabella sat quietly in the vehicle, observing the scene outside. The devastation and chaos of this land deeply moved her; although she was aware of the reality here, seeing it firsthand still shocked her. She was not unfamiliar with the history of this country; it had once been a place full of potential, but now it lay in ruins due to civil war and political strife.
The convoy bumped along the deteriorating road, each jolt serving as a reminder that they were in a dangerous territory. The mercenaries gripped their firearms tightly, ready to confront any threats that might arise. While the members inside maintained a calm exterior, each person's heart was filled with vigilance. This journey made them acutely aware that this mission was not just a scientific exploration but also a life-and-death adventure that could erupt at any moment.
With about two hours left to Depachisoto, as the convoy delved deeper into this uncertain land, the road ahead became increasingly unclear and perilous. Isabella sensed the tension within the vehicle, her inner unease resurfacing. She knew this journey would be fraught with challenges, and she had to face the unknown dangers of this land alongside these mercenaries. No matter how many difficulties and dangers lay ahead, she had to remain calm and resolutely move toward their goal.
