Ending Chapter 2 The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

The Captain's eyes lit up suddenly.

When the explosion occurred, he was far away, and his vision was obstructed, and he did not see the explosion clearly.

I found out when I got closer at this moment......

The worst damage from the explosion was not ...... The hull part of Zhu Changjue's main ship.

But...... The boat approached the left half of the courtyard.

That's not right!

It's not what they originally planned.

According to the original plan, Cheng Ziyu should have detonated the gunpowder on his body after getting on the boat and approaching Zhu Changjue...... If that were the case, the explosion would have happened on the deck, and it wouldn't have been half blown up......

Yes, because of this, Zhu Changjue's ship will tilt to the side and sink!

The captain of the armor guard saw a light in his eyes, and quickly commanded to lean over to the side where the big ship was bombed.

He wanted to see it clearly.

He soon turned red-eyed.

It's not sadness.

It's hi.

Happy, yes or maybe......

For he saw that there was no sign of an explosion on the deck of the big ship.

And the boat carrying Cheng Ziyu is gone.

The wind had not changed, and she had drifted to the big boat in that small boat.

Therefore, the position of the boat will not change, and it should be in that position.

After all, the two hooks of the big ship are still hanging.

But where the boat should have been, there were only a few pieces of blackened driftwood......

The boat, completely destroyed.

So, the explosion didn't hit the deck of the big ship, but the small boat exploded and spread to the side of the big ship, causing only half of the hull to suffer?

Only then can it be explained.

It should be.

Definitely!

At the same time, this also shows that it is very likely that the heroine did not get on that ship at all!

Could it be that she changed her mind at that time and wanted to get out, so she didn't have the intention of dying, but used gunpowder to make trouble and get out?

So......

The overjoyed captain of the armor guard began to search on the water, and while he called out to Li Chun, he sent several teams of Xu Haizhi's pirates into the water to search for people.

Looking for Li Chun, looking for Cheng Ziyu......

Wait, if the gunpowder started from the boat and only blew up half of them, then Zhu Changjue would definitely not have been blown up, so Zhu Changjue must not have died!

In the same way, as long as Zhu Changjue is not dead, as long as Zhu Changjue is found, the heroine will probably be fine...... After all, when Jiawei left, she was determined to die, and if she really wanted to die, she would definitely take Zhu Changjue with her.

After looking around twice, the commander of the guard still didn't find Zhu Changjue's figure on the surrounding ships, and while wondering if he was in a bad condition and hid in another boat, he also had to wonder if he would be taken into the water when the explosion occurred?

The head of the guard was hot, and after a few orders to go down, and after making a gesture to Xu Haizhi, who had already arrived, he also plunged into the lake......

Cheng Ziyu is indeed not dead.

But at this moment, she is not far from death.

Her throat was locked by Zhu Changjue, and her hand that grabbed the hairpin couldn't pierce Zhu Changjue, who was leaning back and back, could only tie it on the arm where he locked her......

After seeing the signal flare that changed color and variables, and predicted that reinforcements had arrived, Cheng Ziyu became very annoyed.

She was reluctant to die immediately.

The reinforcements came, and she died so together, not only was it worthless, but it seemed to have become a joke.

Thinking about it like this, she wants to live even more!

But at that time, she had already gotten on the boat, and she was already drifting in the direction of Zhu Changjue's boat, and there were people from the other party in front and behind, and it was impossible to regret it.

Moreover, as soon as she stepped on the shipboard, Zhu Changjue knocked out the boat lamp and dagger in her hand...... She has already been single-handed, but the other party is still cautious, which makes her a little less confident.

Especially when she saw that there were already two more mothers-in-law on the deck ahead. She knew that once she got on the boat, she should be waiting for her to be searched.

In this way, all the preparations on her body were in vain.

The plan is all small, and she will become the bait of the other party to take advantage of the armor guard, and the result will be counterproductive. So at that time, the plan that she and Zhu Changjue were destined to die together had come to naught, and she couldn't get on the boat.

All she could do was figure out how to escape.

There are all other people's people on the shore behind, and there are other people's boats in front, and she can't escape easily.

So she changed her mind temporarily - to make a mess.

Only when there is chaos can there be a chance, so that the reinforcements can arrive faster, and it can also help the reinforcements control the situation more effectively.

She made up her mind in a few steps from the board.

At that time, Zhu Changjue made no secret of the importance he attached to the holy decree, and Cheng Ziyu obeyed his heart and directly threw the false holy decree high and far......

I have to say that in the eyes of Zhu Changjue and all of his people, this holy decree is too important! That is almost enough to make them shine again, and naturally they must be cherished.

So, when the Divine Decree flew out, it unsurprisingly caught the attention of all of them.

Especially Zhu Changjue, he was afraid that the Dao Ming Huang would fall into the lake.

In case the handwriting is spent, the huge value of the four taels of thousands of catties he asked for will be gone.

At that moment, he only squeezed out the word "fast" from between his teeth, signaling his people to hurry up and save the holy decree......

For a time, the main ship and several auxiliary boats were full of people.

That is, the moment that attracted everyone's attention, Cheng Ziyu's sleeves flicked.

Almost no one could see that the open fire fold in her sleeve was easily thrown off the boat behind her.

At the moment when Zhu Changjue's people caught the holy decree, a "plop" came, and the water splashed everywhere......

Everyone came back to their senses, and Cheng Ziyu dived directly from the board.

But only a few people saw that Cheng Ziyu didn't know where to pull out a bag of things from the cloak and throw it into the boat the next moment before jumping into the water after throwing out the holy decree......

Those who saw that scene did not expect her to dive, and their attention was not diverted by the bag of things, but attracted by the huge splash she brought by jumping into the water. Of course, they wouldn't have had time to react even when they noticed that there was a fire in the boat that had spread and burned the bag almost in the blink of an eye......

As for Zhu Changjue, at that moment, his attention was still on the holy decree. He didn't care when he found out that Cheng Ziyu was diving, just because he didn't think Cheng Ziyu could escape from his encirclement......

But as soon as the holy decree was in his hands, he was about to give the order to jump into the water and arrest people, when he heard a few exclamations.

Before he could figure out what was going on, a blast had already happened...... Before he could speak, it was the second ......

He never imagined that the explosion would be so powerful, even more powerful than the previous thunderbolt, not only shook his ship to the point of falling apart, but also knocked him down on the deck.

The tongue of fire blew over, and the situation was still unknown, lest there would be a third blast, and under the escort of the left and right, he had to dive as fast as he could, intending to transition to another deputy ship first......

Here's how it happened:

Cheng Ziyu had made several preparations to ensure that her fate was safe. In addition to poison and daggers, the only weapons she could use were gunpowder.

In order to create the maximum lethality, in addition to the gunpowder bag tied to her body, in fact, the ship has also been manipulated.

The boat was prepared by She Yong early in the morning.

The hull and bottom of the ship were separated by planks and filled with gunpowder. A ship can probably carry dozens of pounds. And the planks on which she stepped were even thinner, not much thicker than paper.

Underneath the planks was a thick layer of gunpowder.

Because of this, Cheng Ziyu, who has lost a lot of weight recently, didn't dare to move when he stood on the board, for fear that if he stepped on it carelessly, he would crack the board and let the other party find out.

The reason why this group of boats was prepared was to prevent the failure of thunderbolts, and these boats could be pushed out after the bamboo raft was ignited and there was a big explosion on the lake...... After the thunderbolt popped out, the effect was okay, compared to the lack of purpose of these ships, so they were not used for the time being, but Cheng Ziyu did not forget them......

She prepared several fire folds that ignited in the wind.

After throwing the decree, the fire fell on the board of the ship behind her, and it was destined to ignite. It's just that the thin layer of wood has been rolled with a layer of oil by her.

But she couldn't wait for the fire to burn through the planks before it exploded. That time was enough for Zhu Changjue's people to react and extinguish the fire first.

So before diving, she threw the powder bag that she had prepared in her cloak into the boat......

She knew there would be at least two explosions next.

Although she is not absolutely sure that she will not be affected, as long as there is hope of living, it is enough for her to give it a try.

The first explosion will come from the gunpowder bag she throws out.

From the moment the flame cluster is ignited to the ignition of the gunpowder bag, it will take at least three or five breaths.

So she jumped into the water and went straight into the depths of the lake. She just wanted to stay away as much as she could.

Although she brought twenty pounds of gunpowder, she didn't have much left in her cloak.

There were less than five pounds in this explosives bag.

So this bomb is not too powerful.

The truly terrifying bomb will be the second bomb from the hull of the boat.

It was probably less than seven breaths between her dive and the second explosion, and she did her best to follow the flow of water from the west wind to the east as she sank, during which she took off her cloak and tried to kick off the two powder bags that were tied to her legs......

She worked hard.

But when the second explosion came, even with the buffer of the lake, she was still swept in the back by the hot energy that burst out in an instant, even though there was a buffer of the lake water. The hot burning sensation made her feel that the skin on her back was burned.

She was tossed by the heat.

The heat lifted her up.

She didn't struggle and floated up.

Just like the previous time when she avoided Shi Ping's diving, she aimed at the bottom of Zhu Changjue's main boat above.

She knew that the bigger the ship, the more concave the bottom of the boat......

As it turned out, she made the right choice.

When she was thrown by the heat wave on her side, the explosion over there also set off a lot of people, and they were thrown into the water one by one like dumplings......

All of them are Zhu Changjue's people.

They screamed, cried for help, screamed in pain and threw themselves above and under the water......

At that time, Cheng Ziyu was almost close to the water, found the bottom frame structure of the ship, and put his arms on it.

The hollow of the concave had a slight gap between the water and the water, which brought her thin air, so that she was finally able to change her breath and not suffocate herself.

After she chose the place, she didn't dare to delay at all, and quickly hung up the whole person.

Stay in this shadow, and finally don't bother to be blind. After a few breaths, none of Zhu Changjue's guys who were bent on asking for help on the surface of the water found her.

Cheng Ziyu slowly exhaled and came out.

She lifted the middle coat that was glued to her back, and sure enough, it hurt heartbreakingly. The hands that had grabbed the clothes were also full of red.

It's already good.

At least, alive.
