Chapter 446: At Sea (I)
Through Lao Xia's guidance of the jade pendant man's dream, Xiang Kun knew that the main members of their gang, and Brother Kui, who fled from China to Myanmar with them, were all from the same place, most of them were from their own families, and many of them were related by blood.
So before, the jade pendant man was worried that he and the long-haired man would be left behind by Brother Kui, and what he was worried about was not that he would be actively abandoned, but that when Brother Kui and they encountered force majeure, they would have to run by themselves, and it would be too late to bring the two of them with them.
So in the dream, Lao Xia strengthened the idea of the jade pendant man, which made him expand and enhance the current crisis in his heart, and there was a kind of imminent fear that if he didn't run, he would be caught skinning and picking tendons, and he would die without a place to be buried, so as soon as he woke up, he immediately began to contact Brother Kui.
Obviously, Brother Kui does not have a channel to understand the actual situation in the city of Montamira now, and for Brother Kui, the two people who stayed at the scrap yard are already his most trusted channels of information.
So after listening to the distorted and exaggerated description of the local situation in Montamira by the jade pendant man, especially after speculating on the possible behavior of the big man Wu Lun, Brother Kui allowed him to leave with his long-haired companion and go to another city to wait, someone would pick them up and wait for them to board the ship tomorrow night.
Xiang Kun didn't wait for dawn to follow the jade pendant man to another city, waiting for the boat to come and get on again, because the time was urgent, so he set off directly.
In the phone call between Yu Shennan and Brother Kui, a lot of information was revealed, although it did not clearly indicate the location and coordinates of their ship at this time, but it had allowed Xiang Kun to draw enough conditions to judge.
He had a general range of judgment in mind, and at the same time, he handed over these conditions and the data of his own judgment to Alice, who synthesized the relevant big data information and sea area maps of fishing boats in southern Myanmar to make a more detailed deduction.
Of course, he didn't pin his hopes on Alice.
The new ability he developed in Star City before, the "anaerobic mode" that can adapt to the underwater state very strongly, if he is in the sea, with the help of more "water", should also help him collect sensory information to the greatest extent.
Although it has only been two blood drinking periods since the development of that ability, and there has not been much targeted training, and the degree of development is still very limited, even from the previous experiments in the river when he was in Star City, it should be no problem for him to find a ship in the water on a large scale, determine the state of the ship, and affect the ship's driving to a certain extent.
The only question is how much time it takes.
After all, it was at sea, and the ship of "Brother Kui" may not be in the area he speculated and judged, and it may not be able to be found in such a short period of time.
But even if he couldn't find it directly, he would be able to determine the ship's location through the jade pendant man and the long-haired man tomorrow night - before leaving the scrap yard, he stuffed a "super-linked" ball into the box containing the satellite phone, and they would definitely take it with them.
Xiang Kun left Montamira overnight, and when the car he called was about to arrive at the selected place to enter the sea, he suddenly received a location map from Alice.
The map sent by Alice was not to mark the range of a ship with a high probability of appearing as Xiang Kun expected to help him narrow down the area he was searching, but to ......
The exact location of the other party at a point in time is marked.
This is clearly not what can be judged from the information he provided.
Xiang Kun immediately thought of two possibilities, one is that Alice found the specific number of the boat on which "Brother Kui" and others were traveling through the information he provided, and then hacked into the system of the relevant maritime departments of Myanmar to obtain relevant location information - at least he knew that domestic fishing boats or other business vessels must be equipped with GPS to legally go to sea so that the relevant departments can locate, contact and rescue.
But considering that this is Myanmar, and what "Brother Kui" and others do, that ship is also likely to be a "black ship".
Then there is another possibility, Alice is located through the satellite phone used by "Brother Kui".
Among the information he provided to Alice, there was indeed the model and code of the jade pendant man's satellite phone, which he had scanned and wrote down by the way when he placed the "super-link".
But he hadn't thought about letting Alice use a satellite phone to locate the location before, because he didn't know much about satellite phones himself, and the time was urgent, so he didn't have so much time to study.
However, some annotations on the second positioning information sent by Alice allowed Xiang Kun to confirm the guess behind it, Alice was indeed located through a satellite phone, and she invaded the network management center of the service provider of the satellite phone used by "Brother Kui".
How did Alice do it in such a short period of time?
Even though Xiang Kun is the creator of Alice, even if he knows that she has been "expanding" and "evolving" herself rapidly after being granted higher permissions, he still can't help but be a little surprised at this time.
The speed of this "evolution" ...... It seems a little too fast.
But he is not worried, because Alice is his "partner" and his "super assistant", and the stronger his ability, the stronger the help he will naturally be, just like now, it can help him save a lot of time.
The top priority now is to find Xia Tianhuo and save him, so he is not in a hurry to ask Alice how he did it.
After arriving at the beach, the sky was already bright, Xiang Kun did not rush into the sea, but first avoided the local people, observed nearby for a while, observed through the traces, found a building ruins that no one had been to for a long time, took off the clothes, pants, shoes and socks and mobile phone cash in the backpack and hid it, and then only wore a pair of underwear, according to the route observed before, chose a position that no one noticed, and quickly jumped into the sea.
With him into the sea, there are only a few dozen pieces of "super-conjugated" balls.
Xiang Kun, who had been prepared for a long time, entered the "oxygen saving mode" after his body dived into the water, and the dozens of balls quickly dispersed like guards, forming a "guardian circle" for him in the water, assisting him to perceive and integrate the surrounding seawater.
Xiang Kun swam faster and faster in the water, like a torpedo that had been launched, and soon his speed was pulled to the highest speed.
sneaking in the water, without a mobile phone, but Xiang Kun's judgment of the position is still accurate.
He relied on the sensing of the "super-connectors" left on his mobile phone and clothes to contact the "super-connectors" around him, judge the distance from the shore and the direction of movement, and then build a map in his mind to locate his position and travel in the direction provided by Alice before.
During this time, it is naturally possible that the ship of "Brother Kui" will continue to move and will no longer be in the position that Alice had positioned before, but as long as he knows the location he was before, Xiang Kun believes that he will definitely be able to search for it.
By noon, Xiang Kun emerged from the sea and floated on the water.
At this time, there was no object to be seen around him except the endless sea, no boat, no island, no land, as if he was alone between the sky and the sea.
Of course, Xiang Kun didn't come out to see the scene, although his speed in the water was already inhuman, he was still not very satisfied, and he didn't feel that he was fast enough.
And now, a new idea has popped up for him.
Looking at the clouds that were accumulating overhead, Xiang Kun quickly judged the conditions of the "Royal Electric Flight".
However, he does not want to "fly with electricity", although the flight is certainly faster than the speed he is currently traveling through the water, but the "flight of electricity" has a big limitation, that is, it has to rely on the gradient of atmospheric electric potential in strong convective weather. And Xiang Kun took the initiative to trigger a thunderstorm in advance, and if he started to pour energy in advance, the energy burst would be too violent, too fast, and too small in an area to support long-distance flight.
He had thought about it and discussed it with Lao Xia when he was in Star City before, what he did in the water, using the water potential in the "oxygen saving mode", in essence, was actually the same as the "Royal Electric Flight".
Therefore, Xiang Kun has actually been looking for ways to "borrow" from each other, or "integrate" and "utilize" each other.
And now, he thought of a way to try it.
......
"Brother Kui" stood next to the cargo plane at the bow of the ship, ignoring the scorching sun above his head, frowning and squinting into the distance, as if thinking.
If Tengli hadn't died and had been kidnapped by them, according to the original plan, they would have been in Thailand by this time.
But now, the plan has been completely messed up, Tengli died directly in a small car accident, and they temporarily tied up Xia Tianhuo, and now the situation is to consider where to go and how to save his life after leaving Myanmar.
The reason why they couldn't sneak to Thailand as originally planned was because the reception arranged by the Thai side was the relationship between the big guy Wu Lun.
And at present, "Brother Kui" is really not sure what Wu Lun's attitude towards them will be, whether he will sell them directly to the big boss and the Burmese official to shirk their responsibilities, or secretly kill them all, so as not to implicate him.
In the early hours of the morning, the people who stayed in Montamira urgently called the satellite phone, saying that the situation in Montamira had become very tense, and the police, Wu Lun and some other forces were moving, and Wu Lun's people seemed to be looking for them, which made "Brother Kui" finally make up his mind.
Early this morning, he contacted a relationship on the Indonesian side, and was ready to use Indonesia as their next foothold.
Just as he was thinking about something, a young man with a flat head and a scar on his cheek walked over and whispered, "Brother Kui, let's ...... Are you really going to Indonesia?"
If Xiang Kun or Lao Xia were here at this time, if they heard this voice, they would immediately recognize it, this was the voice of the kidnapper in the telephone recording.
"Where else can you go if you don't go to Indonesia?" said Brother Kui with a sigh.
"Indonesia's side...... Can you trust those people?" Scarface asked, leaning against the side of the ship, a little worried.
"Let's see when the time comes, it will definitely not work to expect them to be righteous, they are all goods that forget their righteousness, and when the time comes, draw a cake for them, let them see the hope of making a lot of money, and then stabilize it first. "Brother Kui" said.
The reason why he hesitated before he didn't make a decision until he received a satellite call from Montamira was because the relationship between the Indonesian side was not very strong, and there were too many variables, and he would not choose it unless he had to.
"Shall we ...... Just tell the people of the Xia family to get the prepared money to Indonesia?" Scarface asked.
"Brother Kui" thought for a few seconds and shook his head: "No, wait a little longer, wait until the ground is a little more stable, and then you must find a safe way to receive the ransom." ”
"That'...... Shall we go back and pick up the two of them?" Scarface asked again.
"Of course, why don't you throw them like that?"
"But......" Scarface hesitated, "do you think they've been caught by Wu Lun?"
"Are you saying that Wu Lun used them to trick us into the past?" Brother Kui thought for a while and said: "No, 'Pigskin Boy' has been with me since he was thirteen years old, although he is lazy, cheap and slippery, but he still won't be a second or fifth boy." And if he has a weak heart, I can hear him when he speaks. But your worries are justified...... Even if they didn't cooperate with Wu Lun, they might be secretly followed, so before they sent someone ashore to pick them up, don't meet first, take a look at the situation on the side. ”
Scarface breathed a sigh of relief, relieved his heart, and was about to say something when the crew in the second wheelhouse behind suddenly ran out and held on to the gangway and pointed ahead and shouted something in Burmese.
Brother Kui and Scarface both subconsciously looked back in the direction the man pointed, and then saw a black storm connecting the sea and sky in the distance.
The wind and the sun are beautiful on their side, and compared to that side, it is like two worlds.
"it!"
Brother Kui and Scarface both subconsciously cursed, not only them, but the other people on the ship, except for Xia Tianhuo, who was locked in the cargo hold, all ran to the deck, looking in horror at the storm that appeared and swept in at some point.
"Diao Lei, old man!!I didn't say that there was a storm in this area!~!" Brother Kui hurriedly ran to the cab and asked a Burmese man in half-Burmese and half-Mandarin: "Can you avoid it?"
"It's too late, you have to get ready!" replied the Burmese crew in a loud voice.
So the whole ship began to run wild and busy, ready for the storm.
There seemed to be a very violent thunderstorm breaking out in the distant storm, and they could see the Dao Electric Dragons looming and intertwined from the far away, which was very terrifying.
Looking at that scene, it also made them more and more frightened, after all, most of them, including "Brother Kui", were not really people who begged for a living at sea.
But just as they were ready to fight the storm, the black storm in front of them quickly dissipated, and it didn't take long for it to be completely calm, and the air and sea in front of them were just as calm, as if the two "worlds" were connected at once, and were assimilated by the wind and sun on this side.
It was as if the terrifying storm that had just scared them out had never appeared.
"What's going on? ...... just now? Is it a mirage?" Scarface said, looking blankly ahead.
But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they discovered another anomaly - their ship was not moving!
Although the ship's engine was still running and they could hear it clearly, looking at the water next to it, the boat was indeed not moving!
After a few seconds, the sound of the engine also died down, and the whole ship lost power and floated silently on the water.
But the strange thing is not over, and the people standing on the side of the ship are shocked to find that the hull of the ship has become immovable, and even the feeling of floating is gone!
