The ship surged through the waves, sending water splashing over two meters high. The waves crashing against the stern created two towering walls of water.
This is unbelievable! Where did they get the fuel to make such a bold move? It's hard to fathom. Our ship has been frugal with fuel, and now we have completely run out, drifting aimlessly with the current, resigned to our fate.
"Damn it! They actually transferred fuel from the other two ships to this one. They seem determined to achieve their goal at all costs! I can't just sit here and wait for death!"
"Boss, are you suggesting we ram into them?"
"Yes! Let's go down fighting; it's better than waiting to die! Everyone put on your life jackets and grab some essentials. Damn it, we'll have to use the spare oil!" With that, the old man stripped off his shirt, bared his chest, and climbed into the second-level cockpit. The engine roared to life, and the entire vessel shook with a thunderous noise.
The bow of the ship turned a full one hundred eighty degrees, slicing through waves that reached three or four meters high. Amidst the roaring chaos, a powerful wind rushed towards us, carrying an explosive force that was truly astonishing!
In that moment, our vessel gained a commanding momentum.
Not only was it impressive in speed, but it also exuded a fierce aura that seemed capable of swallowing everything in its path.
The enemy's vessel appeared equally desperate, revving up their engines as if launching a torpedo, cutting through the darkness like a shooting star.
Suddenly, two powerful currents collided just dozens of meters ahead.
With a thunderous boom, the waves surged over ten meters high, forming a wall of water that shattered into countless droplets like pearls raining down upon us, drenching us completely!
Then came another roar. As we focused our eyes, our faces turned pale—damn it! The enemy was on deck operating a massive rocket launcher aimed directly at our vessel… only a few dozen meters away. It felt just like the Beiyang Fleet crashing into Japanese ships!
It seemed there was no escaping this. I cursed at my neighbor, "Aren't you going to run? You old fool want to drag someone down with you?"
At that moment, the old man shouted and jumped into the sea. I saw him and Xiao Xiao leap from the second level with a splash into the water, swimming frantically away. They had tied themselves to a buoy and quickly swam dozens of meters away. Those two really had no sense of loyalty…
I couldn't believe it; they had no sense of camaraderie at all. I barely had time to be stunned before I grabbed onto a bowl that had been tossed around by the waves and jumped into the sea. The waves crashed against me, disorienting me as I fought against them. With no other choice, I gritted my teeth and swam forward—every moment wasted increased our danger.
We had barely swum a few dozen meters when the enemy's rocket launcher fired. It struck directly in the middle of our cabin with pinpoint accuracy. The ship exploded with a deafening roar, flames illuminating the shoreline as bright as day. Before long, the bow lifted dramatically with a loud crack as the ship began to sink bit by bit. Debris was flung into the air by the shockwave of the explosion, raining down like scattered remnants.
As our vessel sank, it created a whirlpool around it that would pull everything nearby into its depths. Thankfully we were wearing life jackets; I pulled on the bowl and swam about a hundred meters away. Since there wasn't much oil on board, it didn't create too large of a sea of fire.
Amidst the surrounding sea of fire, I could feel waves of heat crashing against me. The enemy's vessel remained on the surface, shining xenon lights all around—it was clear they had spotted us. They slowly maneuvered their vessel closer.
On their deck stood several people dressed similarly, wielding xenon lights that continuously shone on us. Soon after, they lowered a lifeboat with two men armed with guns rapidly approaching us; their fierce demeanor suggested they were ready to devour us whole.
"Damn it, this is too ruthless. I'm already in the water, and they still want to shoot me?"
"As the saying goes, leave a line when dealing with others, so we can meet again in the future. It seems they want to finish me off."
Although the bowl possesses special abilities, ever since its body was destroyed, it has been diminishing at a rate of thirty percent each day. Now, aside from its martial skills being superior to ordinary people, there’s not much difference from a regular person. Even though it is a ghost, it has already materialized, meaning it’s not much different from humans; the biggest difference is that it doesn’t age or die.
Furball that brat is unreliable at crucial moments; I have to take action myself.
As for Mayi Divination and formations, perhaps I could set them up and use them on land as a beginner. But out here in the vast ocean, there's no tool to use. It looks like I'm going to die!
At the same time, two black dots in the sea swam towards us. As they got closer, I initially thought they were sharks, but upon closer inspection, I breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be the old man and Xiao Xiao. Those two clearly spent years in the water; their swimming skills were extraordinary, moving like two fish.
The boat drew nearer! The coarse shouts of the two men could be heard clearly.
About ten meters away, they raised their guns and aimed at me. I could see their fingers already on the triggers. They clearly had real combat experience; while they might not hit every shot, taking me down within ten meters was definitely within their capabilities.
Just at that critical moment!
One of the men smirked and lowered his gun. He pulled out a bottle from his pocket; it was clear that it contained a dark liquid. He poured the liquid into the sea, and both of them laughed heartily for a while before turning the boat back towards the larger ship.
"Damn it, they're trying to attract sharks! What the hell! I'm done for! I shouldn't have taken that damn money; now look where it's gotten me!" The old man floated on Sea Surface, shouting at us.
The scent of the liquid spreads faster than air and dissipates less. That bottle of blood poured into the ocean would attract sharks within three minutes over an area of two to three kilometers. Not only would it draw sharks but possibly other mysterious sea creatures as well. This move was too vicious; it would have been better to just shoot me.
I swam towards the bowl and asked her, "Are you scared?"
She smiled lightly and said, "Brother Xia is wherever I am; I'm not afraid!" Given her current situation, her combat ability was nearly zero. However, she had one strong point: water couldn't drown her. Furball also surfaced and swam towards me.
Not far away, several black dots appeared on the Sea Surface, swimming quickly towards us...
I knew they were sharks—bloodthirsty Great White Sharks.
Sharks are varied; most species are harmless to humans, but there are still about thirty species known to attack people. For example, Whale Sharks, which are massive and can attack boats. Great White Sharks roam tropical oceans and will go into a frenzy if they catch a whiff of Blood Smell. Then there's the Humpback Whale, which is highly aggressive.
To distinguish whether what’s swimming towards us is a shark or a dolphin in the ocean primarily relies on identifying their fins.
A shark's dorsal fin is a true fin—thin and supported by cartilage—with a spine at its front edge. The lower edge of the dorsal fin does not connect with its back. Typically, due to fiber layer cracking along the rear edge of the dorsal fin, irregular serrated marks appear; some scientists use these marks for individual shark identification.
The dolphin, along with other cetaceans, has a dorsal fin that is merely a derivative of skin, supported internally by connective tissue. The entire dorsal fin is relatively full and smooth, with the trailing edge typically not forming a serrated shape.
A group of sharks, about seven or eight in number, lingered on the sea surface.
One tiger shark opened its massive jaws and leaped from the sea surface. It was shocking; facing such a two to three-meter-long giant fish, a sense of pressure surged from the depths of my heart. All that remained was fear!
The waves grew larger, and I was astonished to see a piece of door panel floating in the water. This was truly a stroke of luck; at least I could use the door panel to fend off the sharks for a while.
I took my bowl and swam toward the door panel.
A shark had already approached, very close, ready to pounce and bite my legs.
Several more sharks surrounded me from the sea surface, enclosing both me and the bowl in the center. The door panel was made of iron skin and was not far from us. But blocking our way was a massive humpback whale...
At that moment, an impatient dogfish leaped from the sea surface, opening its gaping jaws as it aimed to bite me.
