The night was deep and dark, with the bright moonlight casting itself on the rarely calm sea surface. A speedboat, like a knife slicing through a deep blue tablecloth, sped straight ahead, rapidly narrowing the distance between Chu Ge and Hua Country's waters at a speed of fifty knots.
The sea breeze was the sa, but Chu Ge's mood now was a world apart from when he first arrived.
It's over. Finally, it's over. This feeling was truly a relief.
Even though he and the "old man" had such a conversation, there's still a certain, or rather a significant, possibility that the events on the deserted island over the past few days might lead to so unwanted consequences for him, but...
Undoubtedly, no matter what forces or individuals wish to attempt similar things, they'd have to weigh things carefully and ponder the potential consequences.
Simply put, that is, "Are they ready to endure the fury and revenge of an extraordinary being almost beyond the realm of humanity, whose terrifying abilities make one's scalp tingle just thinking about them, and quite vengeful?"
Thinking of the series of expressions on the "old man's" face just now, the corners of Chu Ge's mouth involuntarily curved slightly upward.
One wonders whether this old leader, after today's events, will be left with any residual issues like heart disease, high blood pressure, or intermittent facial twitching?
It's sowhat apologetic to think about...
But there's no other way. If he hadn't showcased his abilities as high-profile as possible, the "old man" wouldn't grasp the extent of these abilities as directly, and he wouldn't feel such shock.
Moreover... If things were as the "old man" initially thought, and he only possessed increasingly freakish body recovery abilities, then when the forr and current "Hundred Strikes" mbers had not had ti to use their specialized abilities and had subdued him, then would the "old man" really...
Forget it, not worth thinking about it. After all, "if" is a word that can sotis make one feel powerless, regrettable, and unnecessarily distressed. After all, that didn't happen, did it?
The more pressing reason that stopped Chu Ge from pondering this frustrating issue was... the wind had picked up, a strong wind.
A massive dark cloud swiftly floated past, about to obscure the moon and sky, as bolts of lightning began to flash within, each mont lighting up the vast sea in stark contrast to daylight. The once calm sea surface began to emit unsettling splashing sounds, as if so terrifying creature was about to break out.
Ah, this damned weather, the storm was about to hit soon.
Rumble
A muffled thunderclap exploded, like tearing open a crack in the sky, torrential rain ca unexpectedly, and the speedboat Chu Ge was in, which had been dashing through the treacherous path monts ago, now seed like a leaf adrift in the storm, precariously swaying amidst the waves illuminated by lightning.
Chu Ge cursed, trying his utmost to maintain his balance, a minute presence akin to a vein on the leaf, resisting the fury of the seemingly all-devouring storm.
It was unclear how long this went on; to Chu Ge, it felt like an eternity, but suddenly the manic sea returned to peace, and the pitch-black clouds dispersed with the moon appearing again—more luminously than prior to the storm—casting silvery light on the expansive sea surface once more.
Unfortunately, at this mont, the speedboat, which valiantly contended against the tempestuous waves, had disappeared from the sea.
As for our comrade Chu Ge... he was already subrged in the sea, nearly devoid of strength.
Ah, this was truly a damn outrageous experience that was exasperatingly frustrating, Chu Ge held his breath, despite the dire situation, such thought inadvertently crossed his mind.
So many people wanted to kill him, and yet he had managed to eliminate all of them, first thinking everything was tranquil, ready to go ho and savor a blissful life, but he was caught in a majestic-scale storm.
Under the force of nature, once more he felt what it was like to be powerless, after all, as robust his stamina and terrifying his recovery capacity, he nonetheless required so recuperation ti after being completely depleted.
Unfortunately, given his current environnt, ti was excessively scarce, he could only keep sinking, sinking, sinking...
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Before drowning, this was the sole question Chu Ge needed to ponder; it was then that he vaguely glimpsed a piece of tal debris. With all his strength, he clutched the shard, slicing open his palm, and a streak of scarlet blood erged instantly.
Ti, what Chu Ge was crucially in need of, trickled away, and he increasingly struggled to hold on, prompting a rueful smile, resignedly closing his eyes, but within fractions of a second, he jolted his eyelids open again, his spirit rejuvenated!
Lido, Beach, a red sun slowly rose from the horizon, and as ti passed, it gradually hung high in the sky, emitting light that shifted from soft to dazzling bright.
Even though the weather was already quite cool, the allure of the azure sea and golden sand still drew countless tourists here with great enthusiasm, using this breathtaking sight to relax their minds.
On the golden beach, so were setting up sun umbrellas, leisurely sipping juice, so were lying down or lying on their stomachs, letting the sunlight shine on them, while a few adorable children gathered around, using various small tools to play with the sand, building castles that adults found ugly to a certain degree, but which brought them imnse joy.
There were also bikini beauties playing beach volleyball, and as they jumped, landed, caught, and picked up the ball, they provided a feast for the eyes of the n here.
Well, most n co to the beach for this purpose, and if they happen to be asked by a beauty to help with sunscreen, that's even better.
In short, this was a rather harmonious, beautiful, and eye-catching scene, filled everywhere with laughter and joy.
Thump, thump thump...
A volleyball fell to the ground, bouncing just a few tis before stopping, while a bikini-clad woman who forgot to catch the ball due to a casual glance didn't pay attention to the not-so-complaining grumbles around her, still looking at the distant sea.
"Eh? What's that?" Several people nearby also instinctively looked in the direction the bikini woman was staring, and one of them subconsciously muttered to themselves.
"It seems like... ah!"
The bikini woman had just finished saying these two words when her pupils suddenly contracted into pinpoints, and she let out a scream that was at least eighty decibels of terrifying intensity.
This "ah," filled with imnse fear, spread instantly far and wide, and everyone who heard it instinctively turned to look at the bikini woman and then followed her terrified gaze to the direction she was staring.
Then, everyone displayed almost identical expressions, carved from a single mold, of shock, extre shock, because there appeared in their sight, sothing moving extrely fast, rushing towards them... a Great! White! Shark!
"Sha... sha... shark!"
No one knew who voiced what the bikini woman couldn't complete, but after a short silence where most were stunned into silence, screams rose one after another, echoing across the entire beach.
Seeing the enormous, incredibly fast shark seemingly about to rush onto the shore in the next second, everyone was terrified, so much so that most of them ignored another unbelievable sight besides the shark.
Even if a small number of people saw what seed to be a person on the shark, they thought it must be their imagination.
The entire beach descended into chaos, as one by one, tourists started to run. Even though most of them were on the beach at a distance from the water, faced with such a violent creature, they didn't feel that such a distance was enough to be their safety zone.
If worse ca to worst, if that shark rushed out of the sea, being hit by it would definitely result in either death or serious injury!
At this mont, besides those desperately trying to escape, a large number of people were completely terrified. It wasn't that they didn't want to run, but their legs seed to have lost all their strength, and no matter how strong their desire to leave was, their legs simply refused to obey.
So people stumbled to the ground after just a few steps, while others found that even taking a step was an impossible luxury.
The closer to the water, the more severe the situation was; as for those who were already swimming in the shallow water, they were terrified by this sudden calamity to the point of utter despair, with every nerve in their body stretched to the breaking point, and every hair standing on end, even in the water.
In a panic-filled atmosphere, the great white shark, over five ters in length and weighing at least two thousand kilograms, with serrated teeth and sharp dorsal fins, finally reached the shore, stopping before a girl standing dazedly in place, her pupils contracted to their limits, her mouth wide open but too frightened to make any sound.
At this mont, the distance between the girl and the shark was less than twenty centiters, with a substantial amount of seawater splashed onto her, and the gale from the shark's advance causing her long hair to fly wildly, a truly nacing open maw becoming the only thing in her sight.
The girl's eyes rolled back, and she fainted, collapsing onto the sand.
"Snap"
The sound of the great white shark's teeth clashing suddenly rang out, but it did not bite the girl less than twenty centiters in front of it, only closing its mouth.
Following that, a man jumped off the back of the great white shark, landing on the sand with both feet, scratching his ssy hair. Looking at the girl who had fainted from fright, he revealed a deeply conflicted wry smile.
