Chapter 198: A Day Around the World- 1

On Kadan Island, the largest island in the Mergui Archipelago, base commander Saw Ghay Moo was bored to death after standing for hours. He and his team had been guarding the dock like they always did... but tonight, it was unusually exhausting. The operation had started earlier than usual, and for some reason, the other party had shown far more activity than normal.

But Ghay Moo had no reason to complain. The other party was their benefactor. Without their weapons and medicine, the Karen National Liberation Army would never have reached its current position. So, he endured. And he knew his men were enduring too.

Just as the sky began to show hints of morning light, the activity at the dock ceased and the ship started to pull away.

As the vessel faded into the mist, Ghay Moo couldn’t wait any longer. He turned on his radio and ordered, "Soldiers, move to the dock."

But just as they began to move, a deep vibration ran beneath their feet. "Earthquake!" was everyone’s immediate thought.

They dropped flat to the ground, following standard protocol.

But then came a low, rumbling noise from the central mountain of the island... followed by a thunderous explosion. And then... silence.

Far out at sea, although the ship had already travelled some distance, large waves from the explosion still reached it. The vessel rocked violently, swaying left and right... but even that couldn’t disturb Nora. She remained seated on her bed in a perfect meditative state, unmoved by the chaos outside.

Back on the island, as calm returned, Ghay Moo stood up and checked on his team. No one was harmed. He immediately split them into two groups: one was sent to investigate the explosion, the other to secure the dock.

The first team reached the base of the mountain and found a massive crater where part of it had collapsed. It looked like a cave-in. After receiving the report, Ghay Moo personally rushed to the dock.

The first rays of golden sunlight were already falling onto the island by the time he arrived. Scattered across the dock were several large boxes.

They approached cautiously and opened one. Inside were long crates. Ghay Moo’s eyes widened along with his men’s. Within the crates lay ten rocket launchers... and a considerable number of rockets.

In one of the crates, they found a folded sheet of paper. Ghay Moo opened it and read the neatly typed message:
