Chapter 21: The Night at Sea is Cold
August XVIII, 23:30.
"Tomorrow is a new day. But today, we will fulfill the last wish of our ancestors and find the Holy Grail. β
Lancelot, a burly, blonde forty-something, in the black Land Rover passenger seat, said this to his four apprentices.
The car stopped.
The five of them, all wearing black cloaks, were not for decoration, but in the dark of night, as long as they put on their hoods, it was very convenient for them to sneak around.
His four apprentices, three males armed with MP5 submachine guns and one female armed with repeating long-range sniper rifles. And he himself is carrying a broad-bladed heavy sword on his back, the disadvantage of this sword is that it is too slow, but this weapon is not so much relying on the blade to kill as it is relying on the weight as a blunt weapon to destroy the opponent's defense, so as to achieve the effect of killing with one hit.
However, to compensate for the slow speed of the broadsword, he also brought with him a Beretta pistol that his father had used in World War II. This pistol has killed countless **, and today, it will fight for another position, and that is the family's mission.
The search for the Holy Grail is the mission of Lancelot, the first generation of Knights of the Round Table 1,200 years ago, and if he dies tonight, his son will inherit his title and become the next generation of Lancelot.
The information about the Holy Grail was deliberately mailed to Lancelot from Thailand not long ago, and even the location of the Holy Grail was also told to Lancelot.
After learning the news, Lancelot did not tell the other members of the Knights of the Round Table the news, as their family had been despised by the other members of the Knights of the Round Table because of the disgrace of their ancestors.
Relying on astrology, he knew that if he went to Thailand, he would see a death omen next to his natal planet. However, through psychic divination, he was asked to know that the person who provided him with the information did not lie to him. The Holy Grail is now in this seaside estate on the outskirts of Bangkok.
For an ancient family, glory is sometimes more important than life, and 1,200 years ago, the three knights who searched for the Holy Grail fell short because of Lancelot's ancestors. This stigma has been on the back for far too long.
All firearms are equipped with silencers.
The car was parked less than a kilometer from the faΓ§ade of the estate. Inside the manor, there is still about a kilometer to go before the fence reaches the main body of the building.
"In three batches."
"Ace and Billy were in charge of the first attack and scouting, and Kelly and I were in charge of the defenders. Alice, find a good sniper spot, and drive us in time once you get it. β
"Yes, teacher!"
The four apprentices replied in unison.
"For the Holy Grail and Glory."
"For the Holy Grail and Glory."
All five of them pounded their fists on their chests at the same time to show their determination.

August 19, 1:00 Ugly Chu
Zheng Qingfeng moored the yacht at a pier by the sea, and he lay alone on a bench on the deck basking in the moonlight. A square of ice was sandwiched from the ice bucket with iron tongs and placed in a thick-bottomed cup, and the ice cubes made a crisp 'clanging' sound.
The whiskey was poured into the glass, and the ice cubes were washed down in a small circle to lower the temperature of the whiskey. Whisky in the moonlight is no longer the dark gold color.
The wine in the glass reflects the moonlight and the night, and has a burgundy color similar to that of wine.
Zheng Qingfeng gently shook the ice in his cup and looked up at the moon, four days had passed since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon had begun to gradually erode from below.
Tonight the moon is a little bit left.
Just like the relatives in his hometown, will he feel that he is missing when he returns this year?
Even without him, it is as translucent as the moonlight tonight.
Come to think of it, I haven't returned to Taiwan, it's been three years, my little sister should be slim, and the second brother doesn't know if he has entered the country. And, Mother.
Zheng Qingfeng thought like this in his heart, drinking alone.
Raise a glass to invite the bright moon and get drunk in the sea.
He quietly looked forward to it, his heart could calm down, thinking about the past, with a little ripple, with a thousand clues. However, the waves and the moonlight were quietly combing for him.
Slowly, slowly.
About to sink into a distant and long dreamland.
Suddenly, boom!!
A loud bang was heard.
This was followed by a wave of air that seemed to overturn the yacht.
Zheng Qingfeng sat up in shock and saw the flames in the distance. A small mushroom cloud was formed.
He communicated with the primordial spirit, and felt that the spiritual world was also fluctuating at this time.
Zheng Qingfeng understood, probably the cause of the explosion came from the use of a certain spell, but the power that can form such an overwhelming force is mostly a power that can only be achieved by some kind of forbidden technique that burns jade.
At this time, it is not a wise move to go to check, Zheng Qingfeng observed the surrounding environment, according to the calculation of the feng shui hours of the four directions, if anyone survived, most of them would not follow the main road, and should flee from the palm forest to the seaside.
If someone comes and doesn't choose to take the main road, it must be to avoid being chased by someone. There had just been an explosion caused by the forbidden arts, and it must have been a fight to the death.
The one who uses the forbidden technique is undoubtedly the fortune teller, and the opponent of the fortune teller is the Heavenly Dao.
Do you want to save people, or run away now.
Zheng Qingfeng was thinking about the gains and losses and the possibility of future gains in his heart.
Save, the current situation, the way of heaven is strong and the division is weak, and it is good to have more help, but it's a pity that this cruise ship will be scrapped in order to hide its identity in the future.
Zheng Qingfeng took out more than a hundred Fire Thunder Spirit Runes folded into a triangle, walked quickly to the beach, and scattered the Fire Thunder Spirit Runes on the beach in front of the dock according to the formation of the Eight Golden Lock Array.
In this way, in this formation, Zheng Qingfeng could naturally control his Yuan Shen and detonate them in turn to hinder the pursuers, and he could also not hurt the fugitives.
In other words, as long as they get to the beach in front of the pier, the fugitives are safe.
The Eight Gates Golden Lock Array was set up on the beach with fire and thunder talismans, and Zheng Qingfeng hurriedly returned to the boat. Turned on the cab light and found a dark silver Desert Eagle pistol.
The advantage of this pistol is that it is powerful, and it breaks the skin and bones. The disadvantages are that the after-action force is too large, it is not easy to fire in bursts, and there are too few bullets. A magazine can only remove 7 rounds, but reloading is not complicated, and although the gun is heavier, it can be changed with one hand by a skilled user. Because it is too complicated to disassemble and maintain, most people only use it for collection.
Zheng Qingfeng took out the magazine with one hand and replaced it with a new one, and with the other hand, he quickly disassembled the gun body and replaced it with an extended barrel to extend the range, and equipped the grabbing body with an additional tactical sight. In this way, all the entire beach is within the range of Zheng Qingfeng, the desert eagle.
The moonlight sprinkled on the silver-white sand, and even the craggy rocks reflected the moonlight like a murderous beast, just waiting for the arrival of visitors, turning this tranquility into a Shura field.
Waves crash against the sand and crash against the jetty where the yacht is moored.
Zheng Qingfeng crawled on the deck, his body swaying slightly with the hull of the ship.
He waited patiently, he knew that if the other party fled to the sea, nine times out of ten, he would flee to the boat. The reason is simple, the wheelhouse lights are still on, and there must be someone on this boat.
As long as there are people on board, fugitives don't have to worry about the keys. Therefore, the fugitive will definitely flee to him when he sees the ship. Therefore, Zheng Qingfeng deliberately left a lamp to lure the fugitives.
At this moment, someone stumbled out of the palm forest. It is not difficult to see from the way she walks that she should be injured and in pain, but the bone should not be broken. Otherwise, it would be impossible to escape here on your own.
The degree of stumbling should be weakness, probably caused by the body losing blood.
Judging by her stature and long hair, she should be a woman with a black cloak and a hood. In the tactical sniper rifle, Zheng Qingfeng had no intention of carefully watching the appearance of this woman.
Zheng Qingfeng guessed that this was the fugitive he was waiting for.
Zheng Qingfeng waited quietly, watching the woman walk towards the boat. It wasn't until she reached the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array that he had laid down that he knew that the woman was safe.
At this time, five figures also walked out of the palm grove, with two dogs on their shoulders and shotguns.
He has not been shot, indicating that he wants to stay alive.
For the Heavenly Dao Organization, the life of the diviner has always been the most valuable thing. As long as it is a living person, Heavenly Dao always has a way to pry out the information they want.
However, not wanting to kill is on the premise of not being provoked, she is running so slowly now, for the people who chase her, it is almost a turtle in the urn.
Seeing that the woman staggered to the center of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, the person behind her released the dog at this time. Probably trying to knock her down.
The time is almost up.
The woman was still staggering and sneaking, and the two large hounds behind her were darling like meteors.
This large hound is unlikely to withstand even a burly adult.
The first hound rushed into the earthquake position, and this position happened to be the place where Zheng Qingfeng buried the most Fire Thunder Spirit Runes. A second hound followed.
Seeing, as long as it takes another blink of an eye, you can catch up with the fleeing woman.
Zheng Qingfeng recited the incantation and urged the Yuan Shen, it was a white-feathered Dapeng bird.
The white-feathered Dapeng bird channeled the power of fire and thunder in the world from the spirit realm to the spirit rune that Zheng Qingfeng had in mind.
At this moment, the air pressure around the spirit rune increased, and the temperature surged.
There was a loud bang.
The hound that had rushed into the earthquake position earlier was blown into the sky.
The dog has spirituality, and when he saw his partner's sudden misfortune, he was immediately frightened, and immediately lost his original momentum like a meteor tiger, and stopped like a kitten.
The sand kicked up by the explosion hadn't hit the ground yet.
A gunshot flew over the sand, piercing through the sand.
Piercing the skull of a pursuer, he had already begun to fall before he even had a chance to react.
At this time, the fleeing woman realized that there was someone to help her, and stopped running away, took out a pistol from her cloak, lay on the ground, turned around, and shot the chasing dog first.
Then, again, they began to shoot at the pursuers.
However, the effective range of an ordinary pistol is usually only a dozen or twenty meters, and the opponent has obviously exceeded the range of her pistol.
Even so, the sound of pistol gunfire and the explosion just now, the death of his teammates.
It also gave the rest of the pursuers enough psychological panic, and their morale had almost been hit to the end.
However, there is still room for a fight.
The four men who were alive were about to raise their guns and aim at the woman lying on the ground.
The second person had already been hit in the head by a bullet that flew from Zheng Qingfeng's onboard.
The successive deaths had already made it clear to the pursuers that they were no longer hunters but prey, and they quickly turned around and began to run into the dense forest.
Seeing that the pursuers had fled, the woman used her last strength to run across the beach and across the trestle and leap.
Although this series of movements is the end of the crossbow, it is coherent and light, and at the last leap, the hood is blown off by the sea breeze, and the long golden shoulder-length hair is blown away in the sea breeze in harmony with the moonlight.
As soon as the woman's feet landed on the deck, she was about to fall with the last of her strength. Zheng Qingfeng hurriedly stood up and helped her, but she held a gun to her chest.
The blue eyes of the women's Chelsea race were imprinted into Zheng Qingfeng's eyes like sapphires in the moonlight. The eyes were as blue as the waters of the Mediterranean, but there was only a faint glimmer of light, symbolizing the meager vitality that was desperate for survival.
Fortunately, she only used the muzzle of the gun for a moment, and the pistol slid down to the floor, probably fainting without strength. Zheng Qingfeng looked at her wound, there was a serious wound on her left arm, it was external bleeding, and emergency treatment had been done to stop the bleeding.
She should have been closer to the explosion, so the possibility of internal bleeding from the shock could not be ruled out. Based on the distance between the ship and the explosion site, if there was really a serious internal bleeding, then she should not have the strength to escape here alive.
Thinking about this, Zheng Qingfeng helped the woman into the cabin, and now the most important thing is to run for her life.
The longer you stay on this beach, the more dangerous it becomes.
Zheng Qingfeng skillfully untied the rope and turned his head, and drove the yacht in a straight line in the direction of the vast open sea.
As long as he drove to the open sea, it would be difficult for Heavenly Dao to hunt him down.
Moreover, Zheng Qingfeng can find someone to support him at sea.
