BXBX NOVEL Chapter 674
Why... was it like this?
At this moment, everyone, including Lei Xue, had an extremely ugly expression on their faces...
All the protective equipment on the ship did not work. The situation that they had expected, such as the evaporation of the sea surface and the reverse flow of seawater, causing the falling and current of the sea, did not happen at all!
The virtual screen in front showed that after the huge energy beam hit the black ice, it was like a heavy hammer being thrown into cotton. There was no sound at all...
And what was even stranger was that as the energy cannon hit the black ice, the black ice began to expand visibly. Soon... ... It spread over and surrounded the entire ship!
This strange scene caused the entire deck to fall into silence. For almost a quarter of an hour, no one spoke. There wasn’t even a sound of breathing. It was a strange silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Goudan finally reacted. He couldn’t help but carefully ask, “This cannon... ?”? ... lost its fire?
Everyone:”...”
Why did it feel like the moment the captain opened his mouth, the atmosphere was gone?
Lei Xue’s brows were tightly knitted together. She felt that it shouldn’t be possible, because the system had indeed shown that one-third of the ship’s energy reserves had disappeared!
Moreover, that strange black layer of ice was spreading. It was obviously caused by the stimulation of energy.
But what exactly was the theory behind this?
Just as she was thinking, she saw the ship suddenly shake. The virtual screen quickly displayed that the bottom of the ship was completely frozen. Moreover, the ice surface was visibly continuing to spread further behind. Then, the broken ice area behind the ship also turned into an ice field with the naked eye... ...
Looking at this scene, Eggface said in a daze, “Then... under the current situation, does it mean that we have no chance to continue forward?”
Everyone:”...”
The second mate couldn’t help but cover his head and said, “You don’t have to repeat this kind of thing that everyone can understand, okay, Captain?”
“Shut up!”Wang ye frowned and glared at the second mate, then he looked at lei xue, “Is there any other function on the ship that can solve the current predicament?”
Lei Xue shook her head. At this time, unless the ship could fly... ...
“There’s still a way...”. “...”Lei Xue Thought for a moment and suddenly said, “There’s a small lifeboat on the ship that can be taken out to let everyone drag on the ice surface. We’ve been driving very slowly these two days, probably less than a hundred nautical miles. With enough supplies, pulling the ship a month later should be possible to return to the ice fragment area before we came. When that time comes, we’ll activate the lifeboat and leave!”
“The lifeboat uses a high-grade compression engine and has sufficient energy. It shouldn’t be a problem to sail back to the East Coast!”
Li Goudan bit his lip when he heard that. This method was practically asking them to give up on the Goudan and use the lifeboat to return.
Once they used this method, it was equivalent to giving up on this sailing mission... ...
Although Li Goudan didn’t care much about the political affairs of the Sea Emperor’s forces, he knew that the forces had paid a huge price to build this ship. It was basically impossible for the forces to have the money to build a second one, in other words, this mission could not afford to fail!
She had only sailed for about ten days, and she had already failed. Where would Goudan’s status be in the martial arts world in the future?
However, the current situation clearly did not allow her to continue being stubborn because of her face.
Li Goudan looked at the crew behind her. She had been in contact with these crew members for a long time and could not treat them as npcs. Although she was decisive in killing overseas, she still valued her own people very much.
Thinking of this, she did not hesitate much and asked, “How many lifeboats are there? Is it enough for all of us to retreat?”
“Yes!”Lei Xue nodded. “There are a total of ten lifeboats. Each boat can accommodate thirteen people and a month’s worth of food and supplies. Moreover, there are freshwater machines and fishing systems on board. Even if there is no food, we can still go back safely!”
“What about during this period of time when we were tugging the boats?”Wang ye frowned. “Isn’t the food spoilt? How are we going to make it through this period of time?”
Lei Xue said, “There is nutrient fluid. We have checked and found that the nutrient fluid has not spoilt. It can support us for nearly two months. Moreover, there are some food that has not spoilt, such as dried meat, sausages, and the like...”. “...”
“Phew...”Li Goudan finally sighed and nodded, “Then that’s it. Arrange it as soon as possible. There’s something wrong here. Hurry up and evacuate before something else happens...”
Lei Xue nodded. Just as she was about to make a move, a flustered voice suddenly came from the cabin, “Captain...”
Li Goudan frowned. What happened this time?
A blonde woman dressed as a waiter rolled out with bubbles. She looked very silly and cute. Li Goudan was stunned. He looked at her and said, “What are you doing? Aren’t you staying in the cabin at this time?”
“There’s a new discovery!”The waiter quickly took out a gray book from his pocket. There was a layer of gray leather jacket on the outside. It looked like a notebook...
“What’s This?”Asked Li Goudan with a frown.
“A diary!”The waiter said with a terrified expression, “It’s the diary of the victim!”
“Henry?”Lei Xue’s expression changed, and she quickly took the diary!
Judging from Henry’s performance, the other party must have been to this place. In that case, his diary would have a high intelligence value.
After all... ... ! He had successfully escaped from this place alive!
Thinking of this, she quickly opened the diary. Beside her, Li Goudan and Wang Ye came over. “I want to read what’s written!”
Lei Xue Thought for a moment and decided to put the diary on the virtual screen. She let the virtual screen magnify the contents of the diary. Thus, just like watching a powerpoint presentation in the meeting room, everyone saw the contents of Henry’s diary on the huge virtual screen.
Under the curious gaze of the crowd, Lei Xue slowly turned the pages, but as the diary read one by one, the crowd’s face became more and more strange...
———— —
“Still no news?”Seer in the general base position some anxious back and forth pace.
AI: “A flying robot has been sent out to probe that location. The area of that teleportation point is more than 2,000 nautical miles. There is still no sign of the dog egg...”
“It’s Gone?”Xi Ye’s brows were tightly knitted as she thought of all sorts of possibilities.
AI: “From the looks of it... It’s like this!”
Xi Ye: “If that’s the case, tell ice cap to temporarily stop the test of her other ship passing through the eye of the wind. Before we figure out what happened to Goudan, we can’t let the players take any more risks!”
AI: “I’ll inform that side immediately!”
Rain Girl, Wu Gua, saw that Ai did not say anything and asked with a frown, “Is Li Goudan still alive?”
“He should still be alive...”. Xi Ye looked at Li Goudan’s brain backup and said, “Even if there’s a situation where he can’t be revived, there will still be a display here. That means that Li Goudan should still be alive.” ... But... ... this doesn’t mean that it’s good news!”
Rainy girl nodded solemnly. Not dying did not mean that he was fine. For players, being controlled was much worse than dying. No one knew what would happen if they were controlled... ... ...
