Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

119: Rosaari bombardment! A real speedboat in one second! 10,000, Happy New Year!“...”

This voice was heard not only by Wu Tian, but also by Zhang Meng, who had unknowingly leaned against the ship’s rail beside him.

“This…”

Zhang Meng’s expression changed.

“Is that the rosalie?”

“How…”

“How can there still be people on it?!”

…Besides Wu Tian and Zhang Meng, the Fans in the live stream also heard this faint conversation and immediately started discussing it frantically on the public screen.

“Someone?”

“Didn’t they say there was no one left on the rosalie?”

“That three-masted schooner has been drifting at sea for a full one hundred and eighty years, how could there still be people?!”

“That’s not right…”

Suddenly!

One particularly sharp Fan in the bullet comments discovered a flaw in the faint conversation.

He typed on the public screen, saying,

“Think back, there were two details in that conversation just now!”

“The old voice said ‘again,’ which clearly means…”

“He’s already used to this kind of situation, or rather… he’s experienced it many, many times!”

“Second!”

“The old voice finally said, help him rub it, and preferably scrape that bone because… it’s moldy!”

“...”

“Hiss…”

“Holy crap, now that you mention it, I remember.”

“Who the hell would want their bones scraped, and rusty ones at that?”

A scholarly type analyzed it seriously.

“When the white fog rises, the weather is humid. If the other party is a skeleton, being constantly eroded by the white mist, mold is unavoidable, but…”

“How could it be a skeleton?”

“How could a skeleton speak?”

“It doesn’t make sense…”

“Heh heh…”

“Why can’t it be a skeleton?”

“Maybe… this one is still Guan Yu! (Witty)”

“Don’t talk nonsense…”

…“You also heard someone speaking?”

Wu Tian was startled.

He had originally thought the sound from the ship shouldn’t be human; what normal person would ask someone to scrape his bones?

Then the one on the ship… definitely wasn’t human!

And speaking of which, shouldn’t only he, with his spiritual abilities, be able to hear the voices on this ship?

How… did Zhang Meng also hear them?

“Mm…”

Zhang Meng wiped the moisture from her helmet, her face somewhat pale as she looked at Wu Tian and said,

“Their voices weren’t loud, but I still heard them clearly!”

“An old man said… said…”

At this point, Zhang Meng’s face grew even uglier.

“Said he wanted someone to help him scrape his bones?”

Zhang Meng held onto a last shred of hope.

She looked at Wu Tian inquiringly.

“Mm!”

Wu Tian nodded solemnly.

“You heard correctly, I also heard that old voice!”

“It was indeed… scraping bones!”

“Whew…”

Zhang Meng was startled.

Then she let out a hot breath, gripping the steel railing on the ship’s side tightly with both hands.

“...”

“What should we do?”

Zhang Meng turned to look at Wu Tian.

“...”

Wu Tian was silent for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the three-masted schooner faintly visible in the mist not far away, and said softly,

“Let’s wait and see.”

“See if anything else happens after this ship appears?”

“See what this ship…”

“What he wants to do!”

…As Wu Tian’s voice faded, the entire sea surface fell silent once again. There was no sound from the three-masted schooner in the distance, only the occasional roar of the engine from the Deck behind them, and… the sound of seawater occasionally hitting the Soaring Dragon vessel.

The mist… was slowly becoming denser under the influence of the increasingly strong magnetic field!

But strangely… the water surface remained calm, let alone turbulent underwater whirlpools!

There wasn’t even a small wave!

This made Wu Tian frown, and his heart was filled with doubts!

“That’s not right!”

“...”

If we follow the ‘Pyramid’ hypothesis among the three, the white mist should be a phenomenon produced after the large hole in the middle of the Pyramid quickly sucks in water, and it should also be accompanied by turbulent currents and even huge underwater whirlpools!

How… the white mist has appeared, and the rosalie has also appeared.

Why is there no sign of a turbulent underwater whirlpool?

All the conditions are exactly the same as what the Mary encountered yesterday?

Could it be… that some detail is missing?

Where is it?

“...”

“That’s right!”

Suddenly!

Wu Tian’s eyes lit up, and then he slammed his fist into the palm of his left hand, rushing towards the only large porthole in the cabin, gesturing quickly to the Fatty who had been watching outside.

While gesturing, he also tried his best to mouth words to the Fatty.

“Cutlery!”

“Cut…lery!”

“...”

The Fatty watched Wu Tian’s continuous motion of putting things into his mouth and was immediately stunned.

He foolishly followed Wu Tian’s movements.

“Huh?”

“Eat… eating?”

The Fatty asked foolishly, then immediately showed a knowing smile.

He turned and asked Zhang Haiyang, who was standing behind him,

“Dr. Zhang…”

“You saw me too, my boss seems hungry, is it time to eat now?”

“Uh…”

Dr. Zhang was startled.

He clearly hadn’t expected Wu Tian to want to eat at this moment.

He paused before replying,

“Yes!”

“There’s some in the kitchen, I’ll go get some right away, and there’s a spare protective suit. I’ll personally bring it up to him later!”

“Hey!”

The Fatty nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Wu Tian with a smile.

He gave an ‘ok’ gesture!

Wu Tian also smiled slightly.

He gave the Fatty a reliable look.

Not bad!

Although this Fatty’s brain isn’t always sharp, he’s quite reliable when it counts!

Once this is over, he should arrange a blonde beauty as a reward for the Fatty.

Heh heh… “…”

While thinking.

Dr. Zhang Haiyang scurried out of the cabin’s passage again, carrying a steaming hot bowl full of noodles with a pair of iron chopsticks stuck in it.

Wu Tian’s eyes lit up!

Yes!

It was these iron chopsticks he wanted!

However… Wu Tian was a bit puzzled.

It’s fine to bring chopsticks, but why bring them stuck in the food?

Was someone hungry?

But Wu Tian didn’t bother to dwell on it. Watching Dr. Zhang Haiyang open the cabin door after putting on his radiation suit, he quickly stepped forward to meet him.

“Heh heh…”

“Dr. Zhang, I’m so sorry to trouble you with this trip!”

“I’m truly sorry!”

“No problem!”

Dr. Zhang directly pushed the steaming bowl of noodles into Wu Tian’s arms, then smiled and said to him,

“What’s the big deal?”

“Exploration isn’t just about poetry and distant lands.”

“When you’re hungry, you have to eat!”

“Here!”

Dr. Zhang pointed to the noodle soup in Wu Tian’s hand!

“I know you’re from Songjiang, so I specially made you a signature lamb offal hand-pulled noodle!”

Wu Tian: …“Actually…”

Looking at the steaming noodles in his hand, Wu Tian originally wanted to say that he just wanted a set of iron cutlery, but… he looked at the fragrant, colorful, and delicious lamb offal hand-pulled noodles.

Gulp… Wu Tian swallowed.

He smiled slightly at Zhang Haiyang.

“Heh heh…”

“That’s really a lot of trouble!”

“No trouble at all, you eat quickly, I’m going back now!”

With that said.

Zhang Haiyang nodded to Wu Tian and turned back into the cabin.

He gave Wu Tian a friendly smile through the porthole.

“Heh heh…”

Wu Tian also returned a smile to Zhang Haiyang.

Then… Wu Tian glared at the Fatty who was laughing beside him.

He mouthed a word to him.

“...”

“Screw you!”

The Fatty was startled, then his expression changed!

Then… a wave of emotion rose from the bottom of his heart.

“Look!”

“Just look!”

The Fatty yelled excitedly at the people around him,

“How good my boss is to me!”

“He’s eating himself, and he’s telling me to ‘go eat something,’ boo hoo…”

The Fatty rubbed his watery eyes.

Through the porthole, he gave Wu Tian a ‘thumbs up’ gesture.

“Go for it!”

“Boss!”

“You don’t have to worry about me!”

Wu Tian: …Rolling his eyes, Wu Tian slurped his noodles and secretly cursed, ‘I don’t care about you at all!’

He turned and walked towards Zhang Meng by the ship’s rail.

And behind the porthole… except for the Fatty’s excited expression, everyone else was trying hard to hold back their laughter.

Hesitating… whether to tell the Fatty the truth!

…“Hmm?”

Zhang Meng heard the movement behind her and turned to look at Wu Tian, who was slurping noodles and walking towards her, asking in confusion,

“You…”

“Why are you eating now?”

“...”

“Don’t even ask!”

Wu Tian rolled his eyes.

“Isn’t it that idiot Fatty again?”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about him!”

Wu Tian held up the bowl in his hand towards Zhang Meng and asked her,

“Do you want some?”

“Uh… no, you eat.”

“Alright!”

“...”

Wu Tian nodded, slurped down the noodles in a few mouthfuls, then took a sip of soup, placed the bowl aside, and took the chopsticks to the edge of the ship’s rail.

He handed one to Zhang Meng.

Then, under her confused gaze, Wu Tian said to her seriously,

“Do you remember what the precursor was when we encountered sea fog and an underwater whirlpool on the Mary yesterday?”

Zhang Meng was startled.

She looked at the straight iron chopstick in her hand.

She opened her mouth.

“All the iron cutlery was deflected by the magnetic field?”

“Mm.”

Wu Tian nodded solemnly.

“If nothing unexpected happens, we haven’t found the point of confrontation between the two super magnetic fields at all!”

Zhang Meng was shocked.

“Didn’t find it?”

“Then… how did this sea fog appear?”

“I guess…”

Wu Tian blinked.

“The sea fog is indeed related to the generation of the magnetic field, and my magnetic field generator did indeed resonate with the magnetic field generated by one or more meteorites, which is why the white mist rose from the sea surface!”

“And…”

Wu Tian gently flicked the iron chopstick in his hand.

“Our position is also slowly moving without us realizing it!”

“...”

“In other words…”

Zhang Meng’s eyes lit up; she immediately understood Wu Tian’s meaning.

“We ourselves acted as the fourth super magnetic field and reacted with the other magnetic fields. As that magnetic field slowly moved us, white mist also formed on the sea surface!”

“But we haven’t found the magnetic field that can trigger an underwater whirlpool?”

“Which means…”

Zhang Meng’s eyes grew brighter as she spoke.

“We were looking in the wrong place?!”

“Mm!”

Wu Tian nodded.

“It seems so for now. Not every one of the three meteorites underwater can generate an underwater whirlpool!”

“We were looking in the wrong place!”

“Then…”

Zhang Meng widened her eyes.

“What should we do?”

“What should we do?”

“Heh heh…”

Wu Tian reached up and took off his helmet, looking at the increasingly dense fog and the vaguely blurring three-masted schooner in the distance.

He smiled softly.

“No need to do anything!”

“Although we found the wrong magnetic field, wasn’t our original goal to find this rosalie, which has been sailing the seas for one hundred and eighty years?”

“Now this thing is right in front of us.”

“Our mission…”

“Was a great success!”

Wu Tian chuckled, lighting a cigarette for himself.

As he exhaled smoke, he looked towards the rosalie in the distance.

At this moment, the rosalie in his eyes was neither approaching nor moving away, still maintaining a constant distance, sailing alongside the Soaring Dragon vessel.

Like a ghost.

Silence!

And it was at this moment… from the three-masted sailing ship in the distance, a faint murmur of voices could be heard again!

...“I’m such a damn fool, kid.”

“Tell me!”

“What the hell, you only took me out for a spin yesterday, why are you dragging me out again today?”

“Damn it!”

The rough and irritable old voice grew louder and louder this time.

“You can’t shear the wool from just one sheep, can you?”

“Damn it…”

“Oh…”

“Please stop talking, if that adult hears you, you’ll be punished again!”

A young voice advised.

Immediately… “I…”

“Get out of here!”

“Are you even trying to provoke me?”

Bang!

A sound of falling to the ground was heard; it seemed the old man had kicked the young one over.

Although the words were very irritable.

But after the young voice reminded him, the old man stopped complaining.

After a moment of silence.

The old man’s faint voice sounded again.

However… this time, the voice carried a strong sense of confusion.

“…”

“Kid…”

“Something’s not right, have you noticed?”

“What?”

The young voice asked.

“Have you noticed… today’s fog seems exceptionally thick, and it’s getting thicker and thicker, and our position is wrong, too far from where that adult is!”

“…”

After a moment of silence.

The old man gasped directly.

“Hiss…”

“Not good!”

“That ship has a problem; the people on board are deliberately luring us out!”

“Quick!”

“Fire the cannons for me!”

“Bomb them!”

“Yes!”

“…”

The young voice quickly agreed, followed by a rustling sound, as if the young man was pushing cannonballs into the breach, ready to fire at the Soaring Dragon vessel!

...“What’s going on?”

Zhang Meng was stunned after hearing the complete conversation from the rosalie.

“Can they sense us?”

“And can they know that we caused the sea fog?”

“…”

Wu Tian’s face turned ugly.

He nodded towards Zhang Meng.

“It must be!”

“Quick!”

“Go and notify Zhang Haiyang, tell him to quickly activate the ship’s defensive measures; the rosalie on the opposite side is about to fire at us!”

“Go quickly!”

“Okay!”

“…”

Zhang Meng nodded.

Without daring to delay, she turned her head, wiped the moisture from her helmet, and quickly ran towards the cabin door… “Dr. Zhang!”

Bang bang!

Zhang Meng pounded on the cabin door while shouting loudly at Zhang Haiyang inside!

“Quick!”

“The rosalie on our side is about to launch an artillery attack on us!”

“Quickly activate defenses!”

“It’s going to be too late!”

Bang bang bang!

Under Zhang Meng’s frantic knocking, the cabin door was quickly opened by Zhang Haiyang from inside, who then welcomed Zhang Meng from outside the cabin.

“What’s wrong?”

“What attack?”

“What exactly happened?”

Zhang Haiyang asked with a frown.

“The rosalie!”

Zhang Meng quickly and clearly articulated to Zhang Haiyang.

“The rosalie on the side has discovered us, and now the ‘people’ on board are going to fire at us!”

“We need to quickly activate defensive measures!”

“Quick!”

Zhang Meng said urgently.

“When I ran back, they were already loading ammunition!”

“…Okay!”

Zhang Haiyang immediately nodded.

He jogged directly away from the porthole and rushed towards the control panel!

Less than ten seconds later… “Buzz…”

Sizzle sizzle… The sound of current and metal friction instantly rang out on this most advanced ship in the world.

Interceptor missiles, anti-aircraft guns, decoy launchers, ship-borne missiles… all weapons on the Soaring Dragon vessel started operating, instantly entering a state of readiness!

And the position all the muzzles were pointing at… was precisely the rosalie in the thick fog!

“…”

It was precisely when all the defensive and offensive measures on the Soaring Dragon vessel were on standby that a hoarse, old voice came from the black three-masted sailing ship in the sea fog!

“For me…”

“Fire!”

“Hit them!”

“Sink them!”

“…”

Then!

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

As the old voice fell, four muffled thuds came from deep within the thick white fog, like the sound of wet wood hitting cotton.

Dull and unpleasant!

It made everyone who heard these cannon shots feel a blockage in their chest, a wave of discomfort!

“…”

Zhang Haiyang naturally heard these four cannon shots.

Standing in the control room, he waved his large hand!

“Get moving!”

“Quick!”

“Intercept these four damn cannonballs for me!”

“Let the whole world see…”

“How awesome our Dragon Country’s newest battleship really is!”

“…Yes!”

The communications military operations officer nodded confidently and began operating on the flashing electronic screen of the radar.

Suddenly!

“Dr. Zhang… Dr. Zhang!”

The communications military operations officer shouted in terror at Zhang Haiyang!

“No!”

Warm reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause loss of reading progress. Please save your ”Bookshelf” and ”Reading History” (screenshots recommended) in time. We apologize for any inconvenience caused!

“Something’s not right!”

“Hmm?”

Zhang Haiyang was stunned, then asked the latter.

“What’s not right?”

“Have the cannonballs been intercepted?”

“No…”

The communications operations officer was almost crying from anxiety, and ignoring all sense of propriety, he directly grabbed Zhang Haiyang’s arm, making the latter look at the electronic screen on the panel.

“Dr. Zhang!”

“Our radar can’t detect the whereabouts of those four cannonballs!”

“What?”

Zhang Haiyang was dumbfounded.

“Four cannonballs…”

“Our radar can’t even detect one?!”

“…Yes!”

The communications operations officer frantically operated on the panel, but no matter how he switched detection modes, the sky and sea within the radar’s ten-kilometer detection range remained calm!

Not even… a single ship appeared!

“…”

Nothing at all!

Zhang Haiyang looked at the scene before him and suddenly felt a jolt in his heart!

He thought of a terrifying possibility!

“It’s over!”

“…”

“Quickly, set sail, quick!”

“Get out of this haunted place!”

Zhang Haiyang’s face changed dramatically.

He then shouted with a pale face at the communications military operations officer, then turned and left without a second thought!

He ran towards the cabin door, shouting as he ran!

“Ghost Cannon!”

“Those are Ghost Cannons!”

“Everyone, quickly leave your current positions, find a place to hide, quick, get moving!”

“Those are Ghost Cannons!”

“We cannot intercept them!”

“Being affected by the explosion of a Ghost Cannon will cause loss of consciousness, turning you into a vegetable!”

“Quick…”

“Quickly hide!”

“…”

As Zhang Haiyang shouted, he had already reached the cabin door. At this moment, he saw Professor Zhang Zhongyun and his four assistants still working, as well as Wu Tian and Zhang Meng standing by the ship’s rail.

He immediately shouted with a frantic expression.

“Wu Tian, Zhang Meng!”

“Quickly leave the Deck!”

“The rosalie is firing Ghost Cannons!”

“We cannot defend against them, only evade, quick!”

“You two, quickly retreat from the Deck!”

“…”

“Ghost Cannon?”

Wu Tian was startled, then squinted at the thick fog ahead.

The confusion in his heart immediately cleared up a bit!

He had been wondering… from the moment the rosalie on the opposite side started rustling with ammunition loading, all the way until Zhang Meng went to notify Zhang Haiyang, then Zhang Haiyang gave feedback to the control room, then the control room found it couldn’t intercept, and finally Zhang Haiyang came to the Deck to notify them.

During this time… at least twenty to thirty seconds had passed!

Excluding the twenty seconds for loading ammunition!

These four cannonballs had already been flying in the air for nearly ten seconds!

He was still wondering why, after ten seconds, not only did the Soaring Dragon vessel not react at all, but even the four launched cannonballs were still nowhere to be found!

So… these four cannonballs were all Ghost Cannons!

Haha… Wu Tian smiled faintly.

“So that’s it!”

“…”

He had once read about the interpretation of ghosts in a science magazine. Ghosts are actually something that propagates in the form of signals, similar to brainwaves. Their propagation speed is very fast in dry air!

Exceeding the speed of light!

However, once they propagate in humid air or air with many mediums!

Then it will be as slow as a crawling turtle!

He sneered.

Wu Tian directly reached out and stopped Zhang Zhongtian and others who were about to evacuate, and said to them with full vigor.

“No need to leave!”

“Continue to create a super magnetic field!”

“The stronger the magnetic field, the greater the fog!”

“The slower these Ghost Cannons will fly in the air!”

“…”

After hearing Wu Tian’s words.

Everyone was stunned, and then Zhang Zhongyun was the first to react!

As a physicist specializing in Bermuda research, he understood Wu Tian’s meaning in an instant!

His eyes lit up immediately!

“Right!”

“Young friend Wu Tian is right!”

“I understand!”

“Increase the power for me!”

“…”

“No!”

Zhang Haiyang was anxious and quickly urged Wu Tian, Zhang Zhongyun, and others again.

“Let’s hide for a bit, just hide for a bit!”

“We haven’t seen these things before!”

“What if…”

“…”

He turned a deaf ear to Zhang Haiyang’s persuasion!

Clang!

With two soft sounds!

The four assistants slammed the operating levers on the magnetic generators all the way up!

Buzz!

A sound of overloaded operation rang out from the two magnetic generators, and Wu Tian clearly felt… the faint, peculiar force field around him suddenly intensified!

And at the same time!

“Bang—”

“Bang bang bang—”

Four slow sounds of breaking through the air rang out. Just ten meters above the sea not far from the Soaring Dragon vessel, four black cannonballs, the size of a human head and bearing raging ghostly green flames, broke through the dense white fog!

They slammed towards the ship’s rail where Wu Tian was standing!

“Haha…”

“This is what you call a Ghost Cannon?”

“Isn’t it…”

Wu Tian smiled coldly.

“A bit subpar?!”

Boom!

As Wu Tian’s voice fell, two fingers of his right hand, suspended in front of him, instantly ignited with faint purple flames, and then… these flames began to intertwine between Wu Tian’s fingers!

A spell… slowly flowed from Wu Tian’s mouth!

“Heaven and Earth, profound and yellow; Heavenly Peak, seal the mountains; Gods are impermanent; Heavenly Decree, infinite!”

“God-Slaying Command!”

A small purple sword materialized and condensed into shape.

Then… one became two, two became three, three became ten thousand swords!

The brilliant ghostly purple flames illuminated the area around Wu Tian.

Wu Tian looked at the four Ghost Cannons not far away.

He then let out a soft cry!

“Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart!”

“Go!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As soon as the words fell, countless small purple swords around Wu Tian suddenly circled him once, then, as their tips pointed at the Ghost Cannons, all the small purple swords suddenly accelerated, transforming into streaks of purple light.

They charged towards the cannonballs!

“Clang!”

“Clang clang clang…”

The sound of metal clashing rang out over the sea. The impact force generated by the collision caused a strange, huge depression in the sea at the point of impact, while the seawater elsewhere remained still!

“Break!”

Wu Tian frowned!

He tightened his two fingers!

The purple light on countless small swords suddenly flared brightly!

Then… Boom!

The first cannonball disintegrated under the impact of the purple small swords!

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Immediately after!

The remaining three cannonballs quickly disintegrated under the concentrated fire of the other purple small swords, disappearing into a cloud of white mist on the sea surface!

”Boom!”

”Splash...”

As the standoff between the two sides was decided, the sunken sea surface returned to its original state!

Calm seawater, a rush of waves!

...Wu Tian smiled as he retracted his right hand, turned to look at Zhang Haiyang, who was standing at the cabin door, staring at him dumbfounded, and asked.

”What if?”

”What if what, Dr. Zhang?”

”Gulp...”

Zhang Haiyang swallowed.

”Hehe...”

He gave an awkward smile.

”I mean, what if you used too much force and hurt the plants and animals in the sea?”

”Hehe...”

”That would be a huge loss!”

”Bermuda doesn’t belong to our Dragon Kingdom!”

”Hehe...”

”Oh, right!”

Zhang Haiyang hid the awkwardness on his face and looked at Wu Tian with great interest, extending two fingers of his right hand and gesturing towards Wu Tian.

”This...”

”This… myriad arrows piercing the heart!”

”Where did you learn it?”

”Can you teach me?”

”Ah? This...”

Wu Tian was stunned.

Then his expression became awkward.

Can this thing be taught? This was given by the system; he learned it without doing anything!

Teach?

How to teach this?

Should he let Zhang Haiyang study cartoons at home?

”Hiss...”

Seeing the troubled expression on Wu Tian’s face, Zhang Haiyang immediately showed the latter an expression of ’I understand’, ’I get it, you must have something difficult to say’!

”Look! It’s all my fault!”

”I was rude!”

”That...”

”Little friend Wu Tian, please say hello to your master for me. If it’s convenient, I’ll make a special visit another day!”

Wu Tian: ... He poked the playing-dead system in his mind.

”Hey!”

”Someone wants to visit me!”

”...”

The system was stunned.

Then it said faintly.

”Then let him jump from here; maybe... he’ll see me!”

Wu Tian: ... ”Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Professor Zhang Haiyang was still telling Brother Tian not to mess around, what if something happened, but before he could even finish his sentence, hehe... Brother Tian was already done!”

”Hiss...”

”Upstairs, what you said sounds a bit off!”

”You mean...”

”Brother Tian is a quick man?”

”You’re farting!”

”Hey, dog moderator, come out and do your job!”

[Brother Tian’s number one hater has been muted: 365 days!]

”...”

”Hehe, I feel good now!”

”However...”

”Why do I feel like this ’Ghost Cannon’ is a bit intimidating? Radar can’t detect it, and conventional methods can’t stop it. If Brother Tian wasn’t here...”

”Wouldn’t the exploration team have been wiped out here?”

”Why not?”

”When it comes to ghosts, it’s more convenient and scientific for Brother Tian to handle them!”

”...”

”How is it?”

Zhang Zhongyun also came over at this moment.

Standing beside Wu Tian, Zhang Meng, and Zhang Haiyang, he squinted his eyes and looked towards the rosalie in the distance.

He asked softly.

”I don’t know...”

Wu Tian slowly shook his head.

”There’s no movement yet. We don’t know how many more cannonballs it has on board, so let’s observe first...”

Suddenly!

Just as Wu Tian was halfway through his sentence!

The rosalie, which had been maintaining a constant distance from the Soaring Dragon vessel in the white mist, seemed to begin moving slowly!

”Not good!”

Wu Tian’s expression suddenly changed.

”Quick!”

”Start the ship, chase it!”

”This bastard can’t win and wants to run!”

”Full speed ahead, rush straight at its face! If the distance between us widens, the white mist will lose its effect!”

”Then trying to find them...”

”Will be difficult!”

”...”

Wu Tian’s words were very clear, and Zhang Haiyun and the others were all clever people with quick minds, so they didn’t say a single unnecessary word!

One rushed into the cabin, ready to command the Soaring Dragon vessel to go full throttle and chase the rosalie!

And Zhang Zhongyu immediately returned to his post.

Continuously checking the status of the magnetic field generator!

Ensuring everything was foolproof!

”Buzz!”

On the third second that the rosalie was rapidly fleeing into the distance!

The Soaring Dragon vessel let out a long, melodious whistle!

Then... like a silver arrow on the sea!

Riding the waves... it rushed towards the rosalie!

...”I’m really effing mad, what the hell is on that ship behind us? Are they even human anymore?”

”How the hell did he split a cannonball with his hand?”

”This is outrageous!”

On the pitch-black rosalie.

An old man in tattered 18th-century clothes was observing the Soaring Dragon vessel behind the thick fog with a monocular telescope, while grumbling and complaining!

”Damn it!”

”One hundred and eighty-one years, a full one hundred and eighty-one years!”

”I’ve never seen anyone able to split my Ghost Fire Cannon!”

”Is that person...”

”Even human?”

”...”

The young man at the helm was wearing a yellowed vest, a small sheepskin waistcoat, and dark green pants that were already tattered to his knees, constantly twisting the helm to adjust the direction.

When he heard the old man’s complaint.

He immediately rolled his eyes in annoyance.

”Master Sang, compared to them...”

”We’re not human, are we?”

”Since there are ’things’ like us, neither human nor ghost, existing in this world, if they are so powerful, isn’t that also acceptable?”

Clang!

Master Sang backhanded the monocular telescope onto the young man’s head.

”What do you know!”

”We are no longer human, so we can be outrageous, but that bastard is clearly still human!”

”So he can’t be outrageous!”

”Do you understand?”

”...”

The old man’s immense strength directly shattered the lens of the monocular telescope into pieces.

Even the barrel was dented!

But the young man seemed to feel nothing, only muttering a few words.

He brushed off the glass shards from his head.

He tidied his hairstyle slightly.

”Alright, alright...”

”Master Sang!”

”So, are we... going back?”

”...”

Hearing the young man ask this.

Master Sang was clearly stunned!

Then he cursed with a twitching face!

”...”

”Go back then!”

”After all, it’s not our fault. We just met someone extraordinary. If that damn guy dares to punish us, I’ll fight him to the death!”

”Damn it!”

”Alright!”

The young man didn’t reply, but just twisted the helm sharply, and the rosalie, under his control, sped off in one direction on the sea!

And... even without a breath of wind on the sea!

The rosalie’s sailing speed... was no slower than the Soaring Dragon vessel’s!

...”What’s going on?”

Zhang Meng frowned tightly, looking at the rosalie, which hadn’t gotten any closer.

”We’re already at full speed.”

”How come...”

”How come the distance doesn’t seem to have shortened at all?”

”...”

”Something’s not right!”

Wu Tian frowned.

A suspicion vaguely formed in his mind.

The reason for the rosalie’s appearance should be the white mist caused by the magnetic field, and the magnetic field was generated by the magnetic field generator on the Soaring Dragon vessel!

Then wouldn’t it be... as fast as the Soaring Dragon vessel, the source of the magnetic force, could run... the rosalie could run just as fast?!

”Hiss...”

Wu Tian gasped.

The more he thought about it, the closer this possibility seemed to the truth!

He immediately slammed the railing!

Anxiously telling Zhang Meng beside him to ’stay here, don’t move’, he then turned and ran into the cabin... ”Can’t catch up?”

Zhang Haiyang in the control room stared with wide eyes.

His eyes were fixed on the three bright red words ’Full Load’ on the screen, his face flushed, and his heart was filled with frustration.

”Damn it, the cannonballs can’t be intercepted.”

”Can’t even catch up!”

”What the hell is this rosalie?”

”This is too outrageous!”

”Uh...”

The captain glanced at Zhang Haiyang, then softly reminded him.

”That... Dr. Zhang, the Ghost Cannon just now was stopped by young friend Wu Tian. This matter...”

”Should we ask him?”

”...”

”Hmm?”

Zhang Haiyang was also stunned.

Then his face lit up, and he immediately nodded.

”Right! You’re right!”

”Ah!”

Zhang Haiyang slapped his forehead!

”Why didn’t I think of that?”

”I’ll go now...”

”...”

”No need!”

Just as Zhang Haiyang lifted his foot, preparing to leave the control room to find Wu Tian, Wu Tian’s voice appeared in the control room.

Then, everyone turned their heads.

And saw Wu Tian walking quickly in from outside the control cabin door!

”...”

”Dr. Zhang!”

”Listen to me!”

Wu Tian went straight to the point.

”Give me a small speedboat, and then slow down the Soaring Dragon vessel. I can catch up to it very quickly in the speedboat!”

”...”

Zhang Haiyang was confused when he heard this.

”But you...”

Confused, he was about to open his mouth to ask Wu Tian why he was doing this, but before he could even speak, he was unceremoniously interrupted by Wu Tian.

”No time to explain!”

”Dr. Zhang!”

”Quickly prepare a speedboat for me!”

”After it’s over, I’ll personally explain to you!”

”...Okay!”

Dr. Zhang was stunned.

Then he nodded without hesitation, agreeing to Wu Tian’s request!

He immediately led Wu Tian out of the control room.

Walking quickly towards the side of the bottom of the ship, where the speedboat was docked... Two minutes later.

Wu Tian followed Zhang Haiyang into a huge drainage room at the bottom of the ship.

Click!

Click!

Lights came on!

What was displayed before Wu Tian and Zhang Haiyang was a small speedboat, entirely silver-white, with a silver-white hull, textured fittings, and a streamlined appearance!

One look and it was clear it was different from ordinary speedboats!

And to verify Wu Tian’s conjecture.

Zhang Haiyang patted the speedboat and smiled slightly at Wu Tian.

”This is also a new type of small, amphibious speedboat developed by our Dragon Kingdom.”

”Not only that.”

Zhang Haiyang pointed to two rows of eight silver-white metal compression tanks next to the speedboat.

He chuckled.

”This speedboat is also equipped with eight nitrogen tanks, so when it accelerates, it’s not at all hesitant!”

”...”

Wu Tian was dazzled.

He asked blankly.

”How long does it take from zero to one hundred kilometers?”

”Hmm~”

Zhang Haiyang extended a finger.

”One second!”
