Chapter 1008: Chapter 1006: A Thousand Pounds, One Thread

Under the rapid advancement of Xue Guangfu, full of energy, the three people arrived at the Lu Family evacuation point half an hour later.

This is called the Lu Family evacuation point, but in fact, it is the unloading port of the Lu Group.

And it had long been surrounded by Japan’s armed Self-Defense Team.

Not only were there guns, but helicopters above, and tanks and armored vehicles at the port, all glaring fiercely at the cargo ship!

The entire cargo ship had been taken over by the Self-Defense Team, and every place where people could be hidden, and even those where they couldn’t, were searched over and over again.

They even used infrared detectors, constantly detecting signs of life!

”See, as I said, the evacuation point of your family is the one being checked most strictly!” Xue Guangfu whispered as the three were lurking in the nearby sea.

The sea water concealed part of their temperature, and coupled with the distance, the infrared hadn’t discovered them yet.

”I know, but knowing that, they also understand what I mean.” Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes and said.

He knew the crew on this ship were definitely not ordinary employees.

They were his ten thousand Iron Cavalry!

There was no doubt about it, Liang Lan would definitely do this!

In this way, he didn’t need to go to the trouble of sending signals; he could arrange everything properly.

”What should we do?” Xue Guangfu asked in a low voice. ”Shall we sneak up there?”

”No, wait, wait for the right moment!” Lu Xiaobu slowly shook his head.

He believed that if Japan couldn’t find him at Lin Family’s No. 1 evacuation point, they would surely conduct a wide search centered around the coast and Lin Family’s No. 1 evacuation point!

After all, if Ghost Fox wanted to stay alive, he had to disclose the scent tracking issue!

And once it was disclosed, it would completely interfere with Japan’s search direction!

This is why he insisted on waiting for Ghost Fox and scaring him out of his mind!

Just to make him so fearful that he wouldn’t dare to spill everything, only daring to trickle out information bit by bit!

In this way!

A slight error in position could lead to a thousand-fold divergence!

This would provide enough time for a strategic setup!

Otherwise, if Ghost Fox gave the correct direction, the enemy could easily change their search area!

...

Slowly, time passed by the second.

Suddenly, those helicopters of the Self-Defense Team seemed to receive an order and rushed in the direction from which Lu Xiaobu and his companions came!

Even many soldiers of the Self-Defense Team boarded vehicles and motorboats, heading in the same direction!

The moment had arrived!

”A little closer, then a little deeper!” Lu Xiaobu immediately squinted and said.

With some helicopters and motorboats dispatched elsewhere, there were bound to be loopholes in the search, and he needed to seize those gaps!

”Okay! Watch me!” Xue Guangfu nodded.

In this way, the three silently reached a not-too-far yet significantly deep spot.

How deep was it?

So deep that Sun Wanqi began to feel clearly uncomfortable.

Even Lu Xiaobu’s Charging Shield began to slightly activate!

What did this mean?!

This meant that the water pressure was already capable of causing harm!

”Bear with it!” Lu Xiaobu patted Sun Wanqi and said.

”I’m fine!” Sun Wanqi gritted her teeth and said.

Fortunately, Xue Guangfu had been acting as the engine all along, otherwise, if she exhausted her stamina and then faced such pressure, she would probably collapse!

”What’s the sheet music for the theme song of Bright Sword? Tell me!” Lu Xiaobu asked Sun Wanqi in a low voice.

”6, 7, 1, 6, 2, 1, 7, 1, 6.” Sun Wanqi recited a series of music notes!

”Okay, got it.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded, then began to control the water flow, gently playing the melody with ripples on the sea surface.

He trusted his ten thousand Iron Cavalry!

...

On the Lu Group cargo ship.

The crew formed by ten thousand Iron Cavalry were undergoing their seventh body search.

Although each of their faces was brimming with anger, they all endured it.

Right now, the safety of Young Master Bu was paramount, and they couldn’t afford any conflict with them, as that would only heighten the risk, causing more trouble for Young Master Bu!

”Turn around!”

A Self-Defense Team soldier shouted viciously at Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie squinted his eyes, filled with rage!

”What are you looking at!? I told you to turn around!” The Self-Defense Team soldier got furious and slammed Zhang Tie with a gunstock.

Zhang Tie staggered from the blow, turning around and leaning against the ship’s edge!

He gritted his teeth—Ha! You little bastards, be arrogant while you can! One day, you’ll kneel before our Lu Group! Not for anything else, but for three words—Lu! Xiaobu!

And at this moment, amidst the whir of helicopters in the skies, within the body search by the Self-Defense Team, he glanced towards the sea surface.

Young Master Bu! Are you alright!

If you’re okay, give us a signal!

We’re all worried about you!

His eyes casually searched the sea for something, hoping to find anything.

That ripple seemed quite rhythmic.

Zhang Tie’s eyes brushed across the ripple Lu Xiaobu sent, with such a thought surfacing in his mind.

Then, he shifted his gaze elsewhere.

No!

Wait!

Rhythm?!

Would nature produce such a rhythmic ripple?!

Impossible!

There’s only one explanation, this wasn’t produced by nature!

It was man-made!

So who was it?!

Young Master Bu, it had to be Young Master Bu!

A hint of ecstatic expression flashed in his eyes!

If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have thought so, only deeming it nature’s uncanny craftsmanship, or an illusion!

But their ten thousand Iron Cavalry were different, their shared experiences with Lu Xiaobu amidst storms made them unconditionally trust Lu Xiaobu!

So his first reaction was Young Master Bu!

Even if it wasn’t, they wouldn’t abandon any possibility!

He quietly remembered this pattern in his heart and began pondering it silently!

”Turn around again!” The Self-Defense Team soldier shouted again!

”Huh?” Zhang Tie was researching the pattern and didn’t react in time!

”What are you looking at?!” The Self-Defense Team soldier shouted loudly, then climbed over!

Zhang Tie’s heart immediately jumped to his throat!

Oh no, this was bad!

He regretted it to death!

If Young Master Bu got implicated because of this, he’d rather die a thousand deaths!

But fortunately!

Lu Xiaobu saw it in time, then dissipated the ripple, letting the water spread freely.

Therefore!

The Self-Defense Team found nothing!

”Sino pig, if you don’t behave, I’ll shoot you!” The Self-Defense Team soldier thought Zhang Tie was mocking him and gave Zhang Tie another severe blow with the gunstock!

Zhang Tie’s head was immediately bleeding from the blow!

But instead, he felt relieved!

Fortunately! Fortunately!

As long as Young Master Bu wasn’t discovered, that was a blessing!

And what’s next, was the most critical, a moment of life and death, success or failure hinged on this moment!
