Chapter 40: The Tempest
Walk! Go back to the speedboat! Arashi made a quick decision.
"Back to the speedboat? But that kind of boat ......," Yihao looked at the surface of the sea that had set up a huge wave. Before the most violent violence of nature, even this ocean-going freighter was crumbling like a leaf in a storm, not to mention the speedboat that was far from the size and quality of the storm, and driving the speedboat in the storm was simply looking for death.
"Staying here is a dead end! Back on the speedboat, there is still a chance of life! Lan interrupted his concerns without saying anything. You go and drive over on a speedboat! I'm going to help them come down in Red Ridge! β
"Oh...... Oh! At this time, Lan showed extraordinary courage and made Yihao have to nod.
After agreeing to Lan, Yihao immediately rushed towards the bow of the speedboat. The oncoming rain was like hail hitting his body, the howling wind and the slippery ground added great resistance to him, and the tilt of the deck became more and more obvious, and Yihao rushed to the bow of the ship with all his might, and saw that the speedboat was undulating on the sea like leaves, and if it were not for a cable fixed to the freighter, I am afraid that the speedboat would have been swept to the bottom of the sea by the huge waves.
Yu Yuyihao, who didn't climb the rope ladder at all, prayed in his heart for two seconds, pulled the rope and slid down directly. When he landed on the speedboat, a wave hit and almost tossed him overboard. Half of his body was immersed in the seawater, desperately clutching at the railing of the side of the speedboat, and at the same time allowing the Heroic Spirit to cut the cable. The benefits of the Imperial Soul Envoy were undoubtedly apparent at this time, although Yihao was struggling to climb onto the speedboat from the sea, but through the five senses shared by GuΓ², he could also control the heroic spirit to the control room to move the speedboat.
Due to the distraction of the second speedboat at the same time, the reaction when the speedboat was moving almost turned Yihao into the sea again, he even rolled and crawled into the cabin, and he didn't even bother to wipe the water from his face, and immediately took over the heroic spirit and steered the speedboat towards the bow of the freighter. The constant waves had a huge impact on the speedboat, and once or twice he was almost hit by the waves in the wrong direction and hit the freighter, Yihao desperately controlled the direction of the speedboat, and at the same time noticed that the tilt angle of the freighter's hull was getting bigger and bigger, and there were signs that it was about to capsize.
Yihao felt so anxious that he almost pushed the throttle to the limit.
Gratefully. Before the freighter actually capsized, the speedboat finally rushed to the stern position. Through the eyes of the Heroic Spirit, Yihao saw that Lan and Hongling and the others were standing on the edge of the side of the ship, and because he couldn't pull out, Yihao asked the Heroic Spirit to make a gesture of "about to capsize" and asked them to jump down quickly - although there is a good chance of being swept away by the waves if they jump down like this, it is better than sinking into the deep sea with the freighter, not to mention that there is an invincible demon slayer Lan Zai. You can always improve the safety factor a little bit.
Yihao's idea was true, but Arashi's approach was more radical. She gestured to Yihao with a "catch" gesture and reached out to grab a member of the Agency next to her.
While Yihao was still speculating about what to catch, Lan had already aimed at the location of the speedboat and threw the person in his hand out. Correctly predict the direction in which the speedboat is heading. Counting the interference of the surrounding wind and waves, and throwing the human body dozens of meters away-level violence, Lan gathered all the above elements that were almost impossible to achieve, and Yihao could only look at the guy who was screaming and falling towards this side with a stunned expression. It wasn't until the last second that he remembered to let the Heroic Spirit rush up and catch him.
The Heroic Spirit has the ability to transcend human beings, acting as a perfect buffer on a certain Cheng dΓΉ, and the member of the mechanism who was caught was wrapped in a bandage in his right hand, and there were faint blood oozing from the bandage. It is believed that he was wounded on the ground during the battle on the freighter, but it does not seem to be too strict, at least it can be concluded. This injury was by no means the cause of his unusually pale face. Under the control of Yihao. The Heroic Spirit carefully lowered the wounded man. He softened almost as soon as he hit the ground, and then leaned against the cabin and wiggled. It seems that even if he can escape this catastrophe this time. Tonight's experience will also leave a lasting mark on his heart.
With the first success story, the rest was much simpler, and by the time the last Red Ridge was thrown over, there were five more traumatized members of the Institution in the cabin. After all, it is a person who is active in the front line, Hongling's cousin is a little better than others, she leaned against the wall, barely next to Yihao, and seemed to be about to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately turned around and vomited.
"I'd love to say 'welcome,' but ......," Yihao looked at the spitting observer lying next to the console with a pitiful expression. I don't know if the ship is going to hell or heaven, although I don't think it will be worse if it does......
"What a stupid thing to say! We are of course here now! Such a voice sounded behind him.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Arashi jumped on the speedboat. Although her body was wet from the torrential rain, her majestic demeanor did not diminish in the slightest, especially against the background of lightning and thunder, she looked like a Valkyrie.
"I'll take the helm! Yihao, you go to the back and use your strength to figure out a way! Hongling, you are responsible for taking care of the injured! The others used everything they could find to get the water out of the pod! β
Arashi gave orders simply and strongly, as if infected by her strength, and everyone had a look of hope on their faces, and they struggled to get up and act according to her instructions.
"That's amazing......" Yihao looked at the Valkyrie who gave everyone hope with admiration, and then at the raging sea. But is there really a way to survive this catastrophe......"
"Of course."
To his self-talk, Arashi looked back at him, and there was a wireless look in his eyes.
"Because you're there."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
A simple sentence is like igniting a never-extinguishing motivation in the body.
Although the clothes soaked by the torrential rain and sea water are constantly depriving the skin of the warmth, a raging fire is burning inside the body.
By the time Yihao noticed, he had already rushed to the back deck of the speedboat.
There was no light in the sky, except for the lightning that raged in the darkness, and the rainstorm poured down like a downpour, and the raging wind could blow people into the air.
The surrounding sea set off monstrous waves, as if countless black hands from the abyss were dragging the capsized freighter into the dark deep sea.
Arashi drove the speedboat through the slits of the waves, rising and falling, high and low, chasing the tail of the speedboat, roaring and stirring the wrath of nature.
Yihao raised his hand towards the sea, and the heroic spirit of the Norse warrior stood beside him and did the same as him.
Much thicker than the darkness around him, spilling out of the shadow of Yi Hao, the Norse warriors were covered in deep darkness.
A hand stretched out from the darkness. The darkness was absorbed by this hand in an instant. When the darkness faded, it was no longer a Norse warrior in animal skin, but a silver man in a black robe, a man with a trembling demonic man's body, an endless storm of magic brewing in his eyes, and his actions echoed Yihao's movements.
Yihao waved his hand towards the sea, and the Dark Demon did the same.
The unleashed magic exploded in all directions, roaring waves and raindrops in the air. All of them froze in an instant.
A tsunami of magic swept across the skies and oceans, and time froze in the eternal whiteness of ice. The speedboat, which had just been tossed up by the huge waves, hit the ground in an instant and hit the hard ice, and the speedboat rowed down the frozen slope. Then they hit the bottom of the ice trough, and the huge inertia made the people unstable to the front of the speedboat, and they stared at the vast ice field that suddenly appeared in front of them. There was a look on his face as if he had been punched.
Even the Yihao of the person concerned was stunned and froze in place, and after releasing the magic storm, the dark demon seemed to run out of strength and automatically disappeared into Yihao's shadow. Add to that the tension that just came with the storm. As a result, almost no one noticed that the wonder in front of them was due to the power of Yihao.
The storm continued, but the sea was no longer turbulent, and the huge ice fields carried small speedboats. Be a shelter strong enough to withstand any storm. Everyone was stunned by the miracle before them. The only exception is Arashi. She secretly looked at Yihao. Secretly clenched his fists and put on a posture of victory in his heart.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The storm lasted until the sun came out the next day. But it doesn't matter anymore.
The huge ice field carried the speedboat afloat on the sea, no matter how big the wind and waves, there were only slight fluctuations, and in the next half night, except for psychological factors, everyone could be said to have a very comfortable life. The boat was damaged due to the speedboat hitting the ice tank, but the cabin had no effect. Anyway, in this case, they can't go anywhere, so everyone stays in the cabin and uses it with peace of mind. Hongling used satellite communications to get in touch with the agency, Yihao found an emergency fire source, dried his clothes wet from the rainstorm, and Lan turned out the dissolved coffee in the messy storage cabinet, boiled it, and distributed it to everyone's hands.
The Agency's rescue team will arrive as soon as the storm has subsided, and everyone will be relieved to confirm this. Maybe it's because tonight's big upheaval is too exciting, and although everyone is tired, they don't feel sleepy at all, and they talk about tonight while drinking coffee. When Lan knew that it was an "iron fist" against Yihao, he couldn't help but show a panicked look, and Hong Ling looked at him with the eyes of a monster.
According to Hongling, the "Iron Fist" is a well-known terrorist among the many illegals, who has killed the disciplinary forces sent by the agency several times, and only disappeared after Arashi personally intervened to repel them. If the institution knew early in the morning, it was a matter of neon, and the curtain was boiled and changed, and the sand flounder was changed in a panic, and the sand flounder was in a hurry, and the sand flounder was in a hurry, and the sand flounder was in turmoil
Yihao didn't show much emotion about Hongling, and he was even more excited by the high bounty on the iron fist. As for his attitude like this, Lan sighed and said nothing. As if there was a tacit understanding, everyone unanimously did not mention the topic of the ice field on the sea.
The next morning, the storm that raged all night disappeared, and not long after the sun came out, the roar of propellers was heard in the air. After the thrilling first half of the night and the incredible second half of the night, the crowd finally returned safely to the cruise ship that had come to greet them.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Whew, I'm finally alive!"
Yihao, who had slept in his room for a whole day, appeared in the restaurant when it was already dusk, and when he ordered a lot of things and was ready to eat, a haggard red ridge appeared in his vision.
"Wow! You've just been fished out of the sea, huh? Yihao looked at Red in surprise
Dark circles under the eyes.
"Shut up!" Hongling sat across from Yihao, and his tone and expression were extremely unfriendly. "Unlike some guy who sleeps like a dead pig, I'm busy."
"Busy?" Yihao blinked, and behind Honglingdi, he seemed to be able to see the dark resentment fluctuations.
"Yes, I don't know whose blessing it is to fail the mission...... As an observer, I have to write a report. I have to write a letter of repentance again, and I have to accept the preaching of those old men! There was not even time to drink saliva for a whole day! I wasn't ready to eat my first meal until now! β
"Uh, it's really hard......" Hongling's eyes radiated a shuddering fierce light, Yihao piled up a smile on his face, and pushed the pork chop set meal in front of her in front of her.
"If you don't dislike it......"
"Humph!" Hongling snorted heavily from his nose, and then, without any politeness, picked up the spoon and ate it in a big gulp. It seems to vent the dissatisfaction in my heart to my appetite.
Yihao watched Hongling's happy eating from the sidelines, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then new questions sprung up. "Speaking of which, you just said the mission failed?"
"yes. Is there a problem? Hongling replied angrily, and at the same time took a sip of the matching tomato soup.
"But didn't we stop the smuggling of nuclear materials?"
"The task is to stop the smuggling of materials and recycle them for harmless treatment......," the corners of Hongling's mouth twitched. At the same time, a sharp sight shot into his eyes, "But some idiot went too far, and as a result, the entire freighter sank into the sea." In this way, not to mention recycling nuclear materials, if you accidentally leak the words, it will cause nuclear contamination in the ocean. And then form a strict ecological disaster! Can you tell me if this can be considered a success? β
"Say...... That's what I said......" Yihao suddenly felt a strong sense of weakness. "But no one thought that guy would mess around like this......"
Hongling looked at Yihao quietly. Until the latter showed a very uneasy look on his face. She said the following. "Something with an iron fist on a freighter. And the storm thing is not an element of prediction. Therefore, the agency has no intention of holding you accountable, but is surprised by your cockroach-like vitality that can come back alive in such a bad situation, so the reward for the mission will still be paid to you in the original amount...... What do you think? Are you satisfied? β
"No, my reward is secondary...... Yihao frowned. But what about the freighter that sank to the bottom of the sea? Wouldn't it be bad in case the nuclear material on it leaked? β
"Oh......" Hongling looked at Yihao seriously with a surprised expression, she didn't expect that this man also had an enthusiastic public welfare side. In order to test how sincere Yihao's attitude is, she plans not to tell the truth first. "Well, what are you going to do if I say the agency won't take care of it?"
"Immediately abandon the contract with the institution." Yihao replied on the spot. "I don't like to be controlled in the first place, and if the organization is such a selfish organization, I have no reason to stay."
"Just kidding! I'm kidding! Hongling immediately panicked and hurriedly replied. Of course, the agency will not leave that dangerous goods alone! As a matter of fact, there are already vanguard troops to survey the situation, as long as the location and condition of the wreck are determined, the special troops will do their best to go down and scoop up the nuclear materials sunk underneath! β
"Really?" Yihao asked suspiciously.
"It's true." A familiar voice came from behind him. Lan walked over with her own meal and sat next to Hongling to prove it to her. "The original organization is an organization for the maintenance of world peace, and of course it is impossible to ignore this kind of heavy threat. The troops are now surveying the location of the wreck, and I have just contacted them, saying that although the approximate coordinates can be determined, it will take longer to carry out the salvage operation because the ice field is strict and affects the progress of the investigation. β
"Yes...... Is that so...... "Yihao felt that he couldn't let go of his mind more and more. "The mechanism for that sudden ice field...... What do you think? β
"What do you think...... Lan couldn't help but smile wryly, as if comforting Yihao. Yihao, do you think that the truth that mankind now has can explain everything in the world? Can't you? Since you can't, why bother to find out the answers to some things, anyway, there are already many incredible things in the world, even if there are more, this one is nothing. β
ββ¦β¦ That is, the agency does not intend to investigate? Yihao understood.
"Do you want the agency to investigate?" Arashi blinked.
"No, this has nothing to do with me anyway......" Yihao avoided Lan's gaze weakly. He remembered that the frozen sea was undoubtedly the work of the Dark Demons, and he had seen his Heroic Spirit transform from a Norse warrior to a Dark Devil, but he couldn't remember the process. Arashi's words seemed to ignite something in his heart, and then his body moved on its own, like a dream.
Yihao didn't plan to talk about it, but as compensation, he turned to Arashi and pleaded instead.
"Can I help with the salvage operation? There may be a place where you need to use the Soul Envoy. β
