Chapter 411: Thick Fog

Su Ying looked at the indicator on the device and realized that there were reefs in all directions ahead, and there was actually no exit.

“What’s going on?”

The pirate leader ran outside to check on the situation. He looked at reefs that were exposed in front of him and couldn’t help but feel puzzled. “That’s strange. When did the reefs here become like this?”

“Near-sea-surface reefs can move, so it’s normal for this area to appear different.”

Su Ying couldn’t find a way out on her device. She walked out of the ship’s bridge and took out her binoculars to survey the situation around them. She discovered that they were surrounded by near-sea-surface reefs, and there might be submerged reefs below the only exit. How were they supposed to navigate out of this d.a.m.ned quandary?

“What’s wrong? Can’t we pa.s.s through that gap?” Mo Tu asked as he stood on the deck.

Su Ying shook her head. “There are submerged reefs below.”

It would not be easy for their ship to back out of its current position. If they could not sail out of this predicament, they would be trapped here and die.

Su Ying returned to the cabin and changed into a full diving suit. She wanted to dive into the sea to determine how far the submerged reef was from the water surface and whether their ship could sail over it.

When Mo Tu saw that Su Ying was about to dive down, he pulled her back. “Let me go.”

“No need. You should pay attention to the wind direction on the ship at all times. If the wind blows at this time, it will increase the risk of the ship hitting the reefs.” With that, Su Ying dived headfirst into the sea after some warm-up exercises.

The icy cold seawater instantly enveloped her. Fortunately, the diving suit had temperature-controlling functions. Although the duration was limited, it was still better than nothing.

Su Ying quickly swam toward that gap. As she got closer, she took out a flashlight that allowed her to see clearly the submerged reef below.

This submerged reef was much bigger than she had imagined. It resembled a small mountain sitting hidden under the sea.

Su Ying swam toward it and returned to her interspatial store. She took out a measuring instrument and began to measure the width of the reef and the height of the highest point to the sea surface.

After getting the measurements, she swam back to the side of the ship to measure the deepest draft of the ship to determine if the ship could pa.s.s over the submerged reef.

As Su Ying’s figure swam back and forth between the submerged reef and the ship, she did not notice the danger approaching her from behind.

When she returned to the submerged reef to make a final confirmation, the sharks had already slowly surrounded her.

Mo Tu was holding the binoculars and when he saw the sharks’ fins, his heart was in his mouth.

Mo Tu quickly returned to the cabin. When he came out again, he had a harpoon in his hand.

However, there was still a certain distance between the ship and the submerged reef. His harpoon could not reach such a great distance.

Mo Tu asked the pirate leader to steer the ship closer. When he got closer, he suddenly shot out the harpoon in his hand.

Splash! With a loud commotion, the harpoon pierced a shark.

The shark struggled in the water in pain. The bright red blood also excited the surrounding sharks to turn around and swim after it.

As the bloodied water spread, Su Ying also noticed the abnormality.

She turned around and saw that the school of sharks had been lured away in another direction.

After completing her investigation, Su Ying quickly swam toward the ship.

When Su Ying emerged from the water, Mo Tu hurriedly threw the hemp rope to her. “There are man-eating fish in the water. Come up quickly.”

Su Ying grabbed the rope tightly and climbed back into the ship.

Que Que hurriedly handed a drying cloth to Su Ying. “Big Sister, quickly dry yourself. Don’t catch a cold.”

Mo Tu only glanced at Su Ying once before turning his back to her.

“Thank you.” Su Ying wrapped herself in the drying cloth and returned to the cabin to remove her diving suit. When she came out again, Mo Tu had already brought her some hot water he had boiled.

“Drink something hot to get rid of the cold first.”

Su Ying glanced at him. “Alright.”

“Based on the survey data, the top of the submerged reef is a certain distance away from the sea surface. Judging from the deepest draft of the ship, we can definitely sail over the submerged reef. However, when we are crossing that gap, we have to take care of the two sides of the ship as the distance between the two submerged reefs is a bit narrow.”

Although there was an element of risk, it was not a dead end. Otherwise, it would be terrible if they could not sail forward or back out.

Su Ying went to the ship’s bridge after a short rest. She wanted to sail through the gap first to avoid any unforeseen changes.

She took control of the steering wheel and navigated carefully to avoid the near-sea-surface reefs on both sides.

Just as they were about to pa.s.s through, a gust of sea wind suddenly blew over, followed by a thick white fog that almost blocked out everything ahead of them. The visibility was frighteningly low.

Su Ying checked the device. Fortunately, there were no obvious reefs ahead. They should be safe for the time being after pa.s.sing through this gap.

However, the fog was getting thicker and thicker. If it weren’t for the device, Su Ying wouldn’t have dared to sail forward recklessly.

Fortunately, they successfully pa.s.sed through the near-sea-surface reef. However, the fog outside was too thick, and they had no way to determine their direction after that.

Su Ying pondered for a moment before deciding to continue forward for a short stretch. After all, they were still too close to the submerged reefs and could hit them at any time. It wouldn’t be too late to stop after they were further away from the submerged reefs.

After sailing for a distance, Su Ying stopped the ship.

“Let’s rest first. We’ll sail again after the fog dissipates.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Su Ying remained on the deck and surveyed her surroundings with the binoculars. However, the fog was too thick and she couldn’t see anything, so she could only give up.

Su Ying suddenly felt a strong killing intent coming from behind her. She turned her head warily and met Mo Tu’s bloodshot vacant eyes. He gripped the harpoon tightly in his hand and stabbed at Su Ying without hesitation.

Su Ying supported herself on the guardrail with her hands and spun 360 degrees to dodge Mo Tu’s attack.

Mo Tu did not have the slightest intention of stopping. He attacked again after missing his first strike, and every strike was lethal.

Su Ying made use of the thick fog to turn around and run toward the cabin.

Upon seeing this, Mo Tu followed closely behind. Su Ying returned to her room and quickly closed the door before entering the interspatial store.

As soon as she entered, she fell to the ground and her consciousness started turning fuzzy.

She closed her eyes and shook her head. When she opened her eyes again, she seemed to see Xiao Jin waving at her.

Su Ying knew then that she was hallucinating.

She propped herself up and made her way to the medicine cabinet. After quickly rummaging through it, she found a blue syringe and quickly injected it into herself.

She leaned against the edge of the operating table and closed her eyes to take a deep breath. When she felt that the medicine had taken effect, she slowly opened her two eyes.

After recovering, Su Ying took a gas mask from the shelf and put it on before leaving the interspatial store.

The cabin door had been broken by someone. Su Ying thought of Mo Tu, who had lost control for some reason, and immediately left the cabin. She was worried about Que Que’s safety.

At this moment, the entire ship was surrounded by thick fog.

“Que Que! Que Que!”

Su Ying searched through once but found no one in the cabins.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from overhead. It came from the direction of the ship’s bridge.

Su Ying raised her head and saw Mo Tu stabbing the harpoon in his hand at the pirate leader.

Fortunately, the pirate leader also had martial arts training to protect himself, and the two of them were entangled in a battle.

Su Ying turned around and went into the ship’s bridge. Before Mo Tu could come back to his senses, she leaped forward and knocked him unconscious.

After seeing Mo Tu fall to the ground, the pirate leader still had no intention of letting him off. He lunged forward but was kicked to the ground by Su Ying.

The pirate leader’s eyes rolled upwards and he fainted outright..
