In HxH with Doraemon Pocket

Chapter 389 - 389

"What do you all think we should do?"

As soon as the conversation turned serious, the tears were instantly retracted into his eyes, and Netero's face returned to its usual expression.

"May I ask, what is our primary objective for this mission?" Morin looked at Netero.

"Of course, it's to eliminate the Chimera Ants. The main goal is to take down the Queen Ant to prevent the birth of the King Ant."

Morel took a drag from his cigarette and replied.

"I see~" Morin nodded, "So our current operation is to kill the Queen Ant and stop the emergence of a powerful King Ant."

"The ones currently blocking our path are the two strongest suspected Royal Guards in the nest. Once we take them down, the other ant soldiers won't be a problem. Then we can easily reach the Queen and eliminate her, completing our mission."

Morin carefully analyzed the situation, while Knov, Morel, and Netero, standing motionless at the front, listened intently.

As for Ging, he was picking his nose absentmindedly, lost in thought. To him, with his intelligence, he had already figured it out, so he saw no need to listen.

"If it's those two Royal Guards, judging by the aura they've shown, I can handle one by myself. As for the other, you three, including the old man, can take it down together without any issue."

"Then Ging can take the opportunity to deal with the ant soldiers and the Queen, making this task quite easy."

At this point, Morin paused.

With Morel and Knov's spirits lifted, their faces showing a hint of relief, Morin looked playfully at Netero, who showed no reaction:

"So, old man, what do you think? This way, we can finish the mission sooner, right?"

"Hmm, this approach does seem quite feasible."

Netero stroked his beard, his eyes slightly flickering, speaking in a somewhat vague tone.

"But if we alarm the Queen Ant during our battle with the Royal Guards, and she gives birth to the King prematurely, that wouldn't be good... The risk is a bit high, and the chance of failure is significant. Let's discuss it further, shall we?"

Knov and Morel had question marks floating on their foreheads, unable to understand Netero's response.

Is there any endeavor without risk?

Not to mention that this plan only carries a certain degree of risk, and if executed properly, such an accident can be completely avoided.

Moreover, if they do nothing, and the Queen accumulates enough nutrients to give birth to a fully-formed King Ant, wouldn't that be more dangerous?

Compared to doing nothing and facing the worst outcome, isn't it better to take a chance and try?

Logically, Netero, the world's greatest Nen user, should understand this. So why did he give such a dismissive response?

"Oh? Worried that the Queen might get scared and suddenly give birth to the King?" Morin looked at Netero with a half-smile, "Actually, I have tools with a tranquilizing effect, or I can silently approach the Queen."

"Besides these tools, for caution's sake, I also have a weapon of mass destruction that can clear the area in an instant, wiping out all the ants and possibly sending the Queen and King to the afterlife together."

Morin had plenty of those destructive weapons from Doraemon's arsenal.

If they could blow up a nation, dealing with a bunch of ants would be overkill, like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito.

"Moreover, I have other portable high-intensity bombs that can easily blow the nest to pieces."

"After the explosion, the bomb releases a potent poison, enough to kill all the ants in the area."

"You don't mean..."

Morel and Knov felt a chill as Morin's explanation grew increasingly familiar.

"That's right, it's the 'Poor Man's Rose,'" Morin said with a smile.

"I currently have several Rose Bombs with me, enough to level the ant nest."

How could Morin not have acquired some of these ultimate anti-ant weapons before coming here?

With his connections in the V5, he could easily get his hands on these things.

"I see. Then having my Purple Smoke Troopers carry these bombs into the nest would certainly cause maximum damage and destruction!"

Morel's body shook, his voice filled with confidence.

This approach wouldn't put anyone at risk and would achieve the objective to the fullest extent.

Beside him, Knov nodded gently, acknowledging that this was indeed the easiest solution.

"So, what do you say, old man?"

Morin looked at Netero, who stood there silently, stroking his beard.

Whether or not to proceed with this plan ultimately depended on Netero's decision.

The feasibility of this plan was high, and it posed virtually no danger, allowing the mission to be completed smoothly. Aside from the fact that the Rose Bombs were illegal, everything else was practically perfect!

However, from what Morin knew of Netero, he likely...

"Hmm, the Rose's toxicity is quite high. If it accidentally poisons the nearby residents, that wouldn't be good, would it?"

Netero shook his head slightly and then turned, walking down the slope.

"Let's discuss it further, shall we?"

Poison the nearby residents? Discuss further?!

Morel and Knov were dumbfounded.

Around this ant nest, where could there still be human residents?

Even if there were, they'd have been devoured by the ants long ago. There couldn't be any human presence within several kilometers.

So how could they possibly poison anyone else?!

Awakened Gon, a stubborn and obstinate Netero, yearning for a thrilling battle he hasn't had in a long time!

"A Specialist Nen ability, 'Four-Dimensional Apartment,' huh?" Morin marveled at the entrance. This ability was perfectly suited for the treacherous environment of the Dark Continent. It was even more convenient than Morin's 'Out of Nowhere Door Sticker'!

"You guys go in first," Ging, who had been lost in thought, suddenly spoke up. "I plan to scout ahead on my own." Before joining this mission, he had gathered a lot of information about the Chimera Ants, and now it was time to put that knowledge to use.

"If you need anything, just contact me," Morin nodded in agreement. When it came to Ging, Morin had no worries at all. Ging's reliability and trustworthiness matched his stubborn and reckless nature.

Finally, Morin and the returning Netero jumped in together.

"Killua, can you tell me what happened?" Killua roughly explained the Hunter Association's deployment to Gon.

"I see, so Chairman Netero is leading the team?" Gon realized, then breathed a sigh of relief. "With Chairman Netero involved, Kite's rescue mission is even more assured!"

"And with Morin involved as well." When Gon heard Killua mention Morin's name on the task force list, he felt even more at ease. After all, even Jed, who had left Chairman Netero at a loss, was easily dealt with by Morin. If the opponents were just ants, there should be no problem!

"Yeah, if it's Morin..." Killua thought, "As long as Kite is still breathing, Morin's tools can easily bring him back from the brink of death. And Kite, being a seasoned professional hunter, surely has his own unique survival techniques and abilities."

"With this in mind, perhaps Kite isn't in any real danger..." This thought lightened Killua's mood considerably, easing his guilt. However...

After listing the task force members, Killua hesitated after mentioning Morin's name.

"What's wrong, Killua?" Gon asked curiously, blinking his eyes. It was the first time he'd seen Killua so hesitant.

"Well..." After a brief hesitation, Killua decided to be honest. Once they defeated the two disciples of the hunter named Morel and obtained the corresponding broken wooden tags, they could return to the NGL Autonomous State. At that time, Gon would surely meet Ging again. It was better to tell him the truth sooner.

"Actually, besides Morin, there's another special person involved in this mission, as a member of the task force heading to the NGL Autonomous State."

"A special person??" Question marks popped up on Gon's forehead.

"That's right," Killua nodded slowly. "And it's someone you know."

"Someone I know?"

"And someone you've always wanted to meet."

"Someone I've always wanted to meet..." Gon suddenly fell silent, then quickly raised his head, looking at Killua with burning eyes: "Killua, are you saying it's...?"

He wasn't stupid. With Killua listing the conditions so methodically and his earlier vague and hesitant behavior...

"Could it be that Ging is also participating in this Chimera Ant extermination mission?!" Gon asked, a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Yes, it's him," Killua nodded, confirming.

"Ging is here too?!" Gon's voice rose sharply as he leaped off the bed. "That's fantastic!!"
