What kind of madness is this? A tsunami is no joke; an entire city could be wiped out in an instant!
You’re just a fragile human, not even enough to fill a gap between teeth!
Yet he remained motionless, his Daoist robe billowing in the wind. The aura surrounding him was truly astonishing, standing like an unyielding monument amidst the storm, instantly calming the panicked crowd on the deck. The chaotic noise faded into silence, leaving only the raging winds and torrential rain below.
After a long while, Tu Gen was the first to react, shouting sternly, “No! This is too dangerous! Once the tsunami strikes, the only safe place is at the very peak of the waves. But reaching that peak is incredibly difficult. Fishermen who encounter a tsunami usually have no choice but to take such desperate measures. Only extreme sports enthusiasts would willingly challenge waves that are dozens of meters high. We still have options; there’s no need for this! Moreover…”
At this point, Tu Gen wiped the rain from his face with determination. “The waves here are too strange; no one knows what lies above them. Those who rush up might just disappear—perhaps it connects to a parallel dimension. Acting recklessly could ruin our entire plan!”
“What if the entrance to the Atlantis Ruins is right at the top of those waves?”
Zhengyang turned to glance at Tu Gen, leaving him speechless with that question.
“Time waits for no one; if something goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility!”
Zhengyang waved his hand decisively. “Everyone to the lower deck; we’re setting off!”
With that, he turned and walked away.
I exchanged glances with Wan on the deck, and after about a minute, I coldly smiled. “Fortune favors the bold; it has to be done!”
“Forget it!”
I gritted my teeth and resolutely said, “The ruins will only emit a strong light during a tsunami, which means they’ll only open during this brief moment. If we want to get in, we have to act now. Instead of dragging this out, we might as well do it sooner—better to die early than later. We can’t avoid it anyway. Let’s gear up and follow Zhengyang!”
"Alright."
Bowl and the others nodded, then rushed into their respective cabins.
At that moment, the sea grew even more ferocious. The torrential rain poured down like a waterfall, with large raindrops stinging against our skin. Before entering the open ocean, I had never imagined that a storm could be this terrifying.
I believed that before long, this place would likely become a death zone.
I sighed lightly, grabbed Bowl and returned to the cabin. I picked up my backpack and headed towards the bottom of the ship. All the equipment needed for the mission was already prepared and packed away, so there was nothing to tidy up.
Come on, let the storm rage even harder!
We entered the cabin and donned our diving suits and gear. These were essential for our survival; as the saying goes, not a single item could be missing. Actually, I needed a diving suit, but Xiao Xiao and Bowl did not. At that moment, Saint Void Child, Bear Big, and Bald Qiang were all ready, while Ghost Granny remained motionless, her ominous gaze growing darker!
We all boarded a submarine and checked that the doors and windows were completely sealed.
Bald Qiang piloted the submarine as we strapped ourselves in, no one speaking—just a silent nod of acknowledgment.
"Alright, everyone get ready. In ten seconds, you will be deployed!"
Tu Gen said his final words before turning to leave.
Creak!
Accompanied by the sound of mechanical operation, I felt a distinct pressure in my eardrums, and a wave of discomfort washed over me. We had submerged into the water, though some parts remained above the surface.
The sound of waves crashing against the hull filled the air, and at that moment, I felt a surge of anxiety in my heart, even hearing the rapid thumping of my own heartbeat. I had practiced diving for over ten hours, and now I was about to face the wrath of the ocean amidst a tsunami. It would be a lie to say I wasn’t afraid.
For me, this would be a challenge to my very life.
The night sea was pitch black, shrouded in chaos ahead. Suddenly, the submarine's searchlight flickered on, and a blinding light erupted before me. Instinctively, I shut my eyes against the brightness. Then I heard Zhengyang's voice behind me: "Moving too slowly underwater! Ascend to the sea surface, lower the diving shield, and proceed at full speed! We need to find it before the tsunami's waves reach their peak and crash down on us!"
"Damn it!"
Upon hearing Zhengyang's orders, Bald Qiang seemed to lose his mind entirely, cursing loudly: "Zhengyang, are you crazy? We can't just hang around down here; you want us to go up to the sea surface and lower the diving shield?!"
"Stop whining!"
Zhengyang snapped back: "Time is life! If we’re late and those tsunami waves crash down on us, we’re done for!"
Zhengyang always had this arrogant demeanor that left others helpless. As soon as he spoke up, Bald Qiang fell silent, his energy visibly drained.
At that moment, my eyes gradually adjusted to the brightness of the searchlight. I opened them to see our simple submarine surging toward the sea surface. Everything around us was dark except for the white waves rising ahead. Bald Qiang pushed the engine to its limits as he chased after those waves.
With a splash of water behind us, our vessel reached the sea surface.
We had breached the surface when suddenly raindrops began to pelt against the diving shield with a loud "pitter-patter," sounding as if someone were hammering on it with their fists. It was clear just how fierce the rain outside was!
However, the Diving Shield was indeed large. The wind was too strong on the Sea Surface, and as soon as we emerged, the wind nearly yanked us out of the Submarine while we were operating the Diving Shield. In such conditions, it was impossible to accelerate. Bald Qiang, being experienced, shouted at the top of his lungs against the wind, "Quick! Everyone put on your diving goggles!"
Once we donned our goggles, raindrops began to pour down on us like bullets, striking us with a stinging sensation.
In no time, the wind and rain intensified, battering us even more fiercely.
To be honest, danger reveals a person's true nature. I considered myself fairly brave, but Bald Qiang turned out to be even bolder than I was. I never expected him to be so adept at handling this situation after his earlier antics in the tomb. Big Mouth Lee, sitting behind Bald Qiang, laughed heartily despite the storm. His Gold Tooth sparkled in the dark environment, catching everyone's attention. He continued to shout excitedly, "Yo! This is awesome! I feel like writing poetry!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of strong wind rushed in, causing him to immediately shut it again. His face turned green as he made “gurgling” sounds from his throat, his eyes wide open—clearly choked by that cold wind!
What an idiot!
I chuckled inwardly and cursed him silently before revving up the engine and speeding ahead.
The distance from where we left the cruise ship to the center of the tsunami was about ten nautical miles. Our Submarine pushed its full power and sprinted forward. After roughly half an hour of effort, we finally reached the position of the first wave of the tsunami. Here, the winds were even more ferocious, and the rain fell relentlessly as if being poured down on us.
"Damn it!"
Bald Qiang exclaimed suddenly, startling everyone on board. "Quick! Look over there! What is that?" Instinctively, I raised my head. It wasn't just me; everyone, including Furball, was momentarily stunned by the sight before us!
