Chapter 48: The Great Robbery at Sea 2

Shanghai Tang in the thirties, the famous HSBC building is less than 100 meters away from the Huangpu River. With the draft of the Sephiroth, it can easily enter the river less than 200 meters away. And this distance is completely within the range of Lin Han's virtual teleportation, as long as needed, Lin Han can directly teleport to any location in the bank building.

At 11 o'clock on March 13th, even Shanghai, which has the reputation of a city that never sleeps, fell into a deep sleep at this moment. The Sephiroth silently reached the Huangpu River opposite HSBC and dropped anchor less than 120 meters in a straight line from its building.

Lin Han stood at the bow of the ship, and the seventeen sailors on the ship were now all replaced by Germans, all of whom contributed faith to him alone, and were pure demon worshippers. What's more, these sailors were all veterans of the First World War, most of them had fought in the Battle of Jutland, and the rest were submariners, many of whom had experienced Operation Rainbow in Scapa Bay, witnessed the tragic self-sinking of the High Seas Fleet, and hated Britain in their hearts.

The Navy is already the most superstitious of the troops, and this has been exacerbated by the supernatural incident when the Spee was launched. And in the hearts of these veteran sailors who participated in the First World War, Lin Han would be the god of victory who would lead the German Navy to revival and victory. Lin Han promised the sailors in advance that all the gold would be used to finance the revival of the German navy. And for these participants, after the fact, each of them can take away the gold bars that they can hold with one hand as a reward - compared to Hannah's willingness to only give people the silver as a bonus, Lin Han is much more generous.

On the Huangpu River, Lin Han is on the ship of the spirit, and his ability can be fully wielded without restrictions. Any detail in the two-hundred-meter foreign exchange building was clear under the detection and scanning of his senses.

"I'll go first!"

Under the watchful eyes of a group of believers, Lin Han's body decomposed, blurred, and finally disappeared, while at the same time, in the vault of HSBC, a humanoid spirit substance was taking shape.

Lin Han directly used guò to teleport and make himself appear in the vault of HSBC. According to the intelligence provided by the insider, tomorrow is the time when part of the gold in the British treasury will be transferred to the ship and transported to the British headquarters. The economic crisis of 1929 is still tormenting the capitalist countries of the world. The UK also needs to withdraw a large amount of money to return to China for emergency relief, and HSBC, as the largest financial institution in the Far East in the UK, is even more inevitable.

In the vault, Lin Han scanned the surrounding gold up close, and estimated that in the past, there were more than 100 tons of gold stored here, more than Fengtian Bank. The hateful thing is that although his virtual teleportation ability is powerful, he can't take anything with him when he is in the midst of mountains of gold and silver. In the vault, Lin Han found the batch of gold to be transported, weighing a total of thirty-five tons, which had been packed and sealed in advance, and in another hour or two, the bank would send someone to load the gold into a truck and transport it to the dock, where a light cruiser would be docked, and the gold would be loaded onto the light cruiser and transported back to England.

Lin Han's original plan was to buy a house near HSBC and dig a tunnel through guò to enter the vault. But the plan was aborted from the start, because HSBC was close to the Huangpu River, with abundant groundwater, and if you dig three feet, there will be groundwater gushing out immediately, and the way to dig tunnels will not work at all. In addition, the concession is heavily guarded, and it is impossible to rob it by force.

So after thinking about it repeatedly, Lin Han made a crazy plan, that is, to blow up and sink the warship carrying gold at sea, and then carry out "sea fishing".

Lin Han stayed in the uninhabited vault for a few minutes, and after he was addicted, he blurred back to the main ship. Half an hour later, a long convoy appeared in front of HSBC, which was the same convoy sent by the British to escort the gold.

After half past one, thirty-five tons of gold were loaded onto a dozen trucks, escorted by armed men, and headed for a nearby military port, where a light cruiser was docked. The ship was a Cairo-class light cruiser, built in the late World War I, and the ship was named Carlisle.

While the gold was still being loaded onto the trucks, the Sephiroth set sail early and sailed before him to the Carlyle.

Seven kilometers away from the Kalai in the harbor, Lin Han went into the water with underwater propulsion devices, frogman equipment, oxygen cylinders and other equipment on his back.

The laws of this world are very speechless for the restrictions on non-human beings like Lin Han, obviously he doesn't need to breathe, but he still has to be in an aerobic environment for "aerobic breathing", otherwise this heroic body will be harmed.

Although Lin Han's virtual teleportation ability is powerful, it can't be used on other people's ships, let alone carry equipment. When Hannah and Lin Han were in Germany, they both experimented that if they wanted to break away from the main body and move to a nearby ship, they could only teleport to the water dozens of meters away from the target hull, and the remaining distance was like a "magic forbidden area", forcing them to board the ship in a practical "physical" way. As for the other ships, in addition to the ability of the two people to retain some of their perception, other abilities are also completely lost. According to Hannah, this should be the instinctive protective reaction of the ship's ship.

"For us non-human outsiders, for ships or warships, our existence is like a virus that invades the human system, and as soon as it enters their world, it immediately triggers a response from the immune system."

Although Lin Han wanted to take the equipment to board the Carlisle to cause sabotage, he could only honestly dive, swim, approach, climb, and use this primitive means in line with "science" to get on board.

Although the port was a little guarded, but the port located in the Shanghai concession was operated by the British for many years, the arrogant British did not believe that anyone would fight the idea of British warships at this time, plus the three watches in the middle of the night, the guards were very tired, most of them were scarecrows, just looking forward to the arrival of the gold truck to load the gold and get out of the egg quickly, and they would go back to sleep.

Lin Han easily swam to the bottom of the Carlisle, where he abandoned the underwater equipment, his perception was fully released, and after finding a dead spot in the satellite line, he threw a rope with a hook, hooked the railing on the side of the ship, and then climbed onto the warship along the rope with the blasting device on his back.

When Lin Han's feet stepped on the hull of the warship, he immediately felt the hostility unleashed by the Carlisle warship, and the ability on his body was instantly weakened by thirty percent, and both his arm strength and perceived distance were severely reduced. However, even self-consciousness does not have the "resistance" of the soul of the Carlyle, and there is only this kind of Cheng dù.

Lin Han threw all the unnecessary equipment into the water, then lurked in the darkness and began to move cautiously on the boat. The Carlyle was lit on one side near the harbor, but the other side with its back to the harbor was dimly lit, which was perfect for him to hide.

Lin Han's battle plan this time was very "simple", that is, he tried to infiltrate the ammunition depot of the Carlisle, load the bombs, and detonate them with a bang when the ship sailed to the sea far from the port. Blow the whole ship to the bottom of the sea. Then the Sephiroth came back and salvaged the gold from the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea.

After getting on the ship, Lin Han found an unmanned cabin and hid inside. Half an hour later, the convoy carrying the gold arrived, and the surface of the Carlyle's hull began to bustle. The sailors on board, under the command of the officer, began to help carry the gold, unaware that a crazed thief had infiltrated the ship, waiting for the opportunity to enter the ammunition depot, load it with explosives, and blast the warship into the sea.

At the same time, Lin Han was carefully sneaking between the passage and the cabin inside the ship. Although his current ability is only one of perception, it is the best ability to stealth: everyone on the entire warship is under his watch. Before the crisis that could expose himself came, he was able to wake up in advance and find a hiding place. He's simply not blindfolded and playing hide-and-seek with people.;
