A wind speed of 30 knots is high enough to alter the trajectory of a ballistic missile even within 400 meters.

But time never lets anyone down.

While others were enjoying life, Qing Chen was repeatedly pulling the trigger in his mysterious world of Conquer by Virtue.

While others wasted their time, Qing Chen repeatedly pulled the trigger in his mysterious world of Conquer by Virtue.

Therefore, he adapted to all wind speeds and was able to maintain absolute accuracy even in such harsh environments.

But just because he can do it doesn't mean the security personnel on the Radiant Glory can.

Qing Chen often says that when you can't see the future, all you need to do is work hard, and time will give you the answer.

"You..." Chilton, half of his body hidden behind a pile of crab traps, stood there stunned.

These Time Walker were ruthless, but even so, they had never seen such a bizarre and chilling scene. Life seemed utterly insignificant under the gun of this young crew member.

Is this still the same country bumpkin they were talking about? That crab fisherman with a dirty face who didn't know anything?

Chilton suddenly felt that Yesenia was beneath the sea, should also see this scene.

At this very moment, he, who should have been "allies united," wanted to shoot Qing Chen.

There was no reason why; it was simply because this person terrified him more than Kabri.

Chilton schemed against the Penguin Yesenia, but he never expected that Qing Chen would be such a variable.

He knew that if the other party had definitely seen through his plan, they would definitely not leave him any way out.

At this moment, Qing Chen said with a smile, "Don't you recognize me? You're the one who gave me this pistol."

Just as Qing Chen was speaking, Chilton raised his automatic rifle and tried to shoot his ally.

However, he felt as if the gun in his hand was incredibly heavy, and even as Time Walker who had received two injections of gene serum, he couldn't lift his arm.

Not only Chilton, but all six North American Time Walker on board were like this.

Qing Chen smiled as he looked at their flushed faces, unable to lift their guns despite all their strength. "What's going on? Shouldn't we be united? Why are you trying to shoot me? What are you afraid of?"

At that very moment, Zhang Jian, along with Nedup and Old John, hid in the cabin and watched silently, thinking to themselves, "This is too terrifying!"

They... actually traveled with this kind of person for several days?

That's incredibly dangerous!

It was only at this moment that Zhang Jian and the others realized that the difference between Time Walker was truly vast.

At this time, the wind in the Greenland Sea grew stronger and stronger, and the sky grew darker and darker.

The dark divine kingdom overhead is truly about to descend.

The music on the Radiant Glory had stopped, and Kabri stared grimly at the 12 corpses on the deck.

He sneered at the Penguin: "Chilton, you don't really think that you can escape the Future Organization's sanctions by shooting and killing a few ordinary people from the Outer World, do you?"

Chilton and the others were frozen in place, thinking, "What the hell does this have to do with us?! We're about to die too!"

At one point, Chilton suddenly realized something... Could this be the legendary North Pole?!

Previously, he thought it was the Penguin, because Qing Chen told him it was the North Pole.

However, no one has ever actually confirmed this, since everyone is saying that the North Pole is in the Barents Sea.

So, where did the missing North Pole go? It was supposed to be a crab fishing boat in the Barents Sea, but no one could find it even after searching almost the Barents Sea, not even on the radar of an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.

That's right, we've come to the Greenland waters.

A small crab fishing boat appeared, but Time Walker appeared, rendering all six of them unable to move. What a coincidence!

However, upon thinking of this, Chilton's first instinct was to turn and look at Yang Yang, wanting to see what the legendary most beautiful person in the world looked like...

Yang Yang raised her eyebrows, then immediately raised her hand and clenched it in the air. With a thud, all six people knelt down.

Qing Chen smiled.

They assumed that Kamishiro, Kashima, and Mirai were looking for Yang Yang.

After all, with the news having spread this far, everyone has already misunderstood the intentions of organizations like Kamishiro. So, this good-looking person should obviously be a woman, not a man.

In that brief moment of distraction, Kabri on the Radiant Glory had already given the order for the captain to go full throttle and ram into them.

The Radiant Star had water cannons, powerful enough to keep everyone on the North Pole from raising their heads. It was a weapon specifically designed to deal with pirates and was extremely powerful.

However, before the ship could get close, Yesenia, who had been submerged, resurfaced.

She was accompanied by more than a dozen divers.

Kabri looked at a diver on the boat, who nodded seriously, meaning that a shipwreck had indeed been found on the seabed, and it was full of treasure!

The black man with dreadlocks became excited and said to the person next to him, "No one is allowed to tell anyone that we've unearthed treasure here, not even the boss, understand? This is something we worked so hard to find. Everyone who sees it gets a share, but if we tell anyone else, this wealth will belong to the organization."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking Yesenia in the sea suddenly looked up and threw a green box, which flew straight toward the North Pole.

Yesenia shouted from the sea, "Chilton, this is what the captain of the Dawn was talking about in his letter—something that makes people stronger!"

Chilton cursed inwardly. He knew Yesenia too well; she was trying to draw everyone's attention to him and make Kabri interested in what was in the box!

Then, all attention was turned to the North Pole.

As expected, Kabri stared intently at the box upon hearing Yesenia's voice... and it fell into Qing Chen's hands.

However, to Yesenia's surprise, Kabri did not lose focus; he gave the diver a wink.

The 12 divers simultaneously fired their harpoons at Yesenia.

Twelve barbed harpoons fired in a crisscross pattern, effectively blocking all of Yesenia's escape routes.

It's likely that the traitor Rondo had already told Kabri about Yesenia's abilities, and Kabri had already devised a strategy to counter her.

The next moment, Yesenia sank rapidly into the sea, attempting to escape using her own abilities.

But she was still a step too slow, and her left arm was pierced by a harpoon.

Caught off guard, another harpoon shot hit her in the abdomen, and it seemed she was going to die.

No one noticed that Yesenia's blood flowed into the sea and spread rapidly with the waves.

The ocean's dominant creatures, which had been lying dormant on the seabed awaiting the storm, sensed an instinctive attraction from tens of kilometers away and swam toward this area.

"So this is what you're looking for. What's inside? A method of inheritance or Forbidden Item?" Kabri shouted to the North Pole from over a hundred meters away.

Qing Chen ignored him and excitedly opened the box.

The compartment was made of copper, but it had been corroded by seawater. When it was opened, the box was already filled with water.

Surprisingly, the box contained an oilcloth bag, which tightly wrapped the contents inside.

Qing Chen could imagine how careful and cautious Captain Addison of the Dawn was when sealing the oil pack.

He and Yang Yang exchanged a glance, and all eyes were on his hand, as Kabri also picked up the binoculars.

Qing Chen peeled back the layers of the oil packet, eagerly anticipating what was inside.

However, he was stunned after opening the oil packet.

Inside were nine small, dry pills sealed with white wax, each with the Chinese characters "Sea Dog Pill" embossed in gold paint on its seal.

Qing Chen was well-informed and knew a lot, so of course he knew what Sea Dog Pill was...

Isn't this exactly the kind of ancient Chinese medicine that makes men stronger?!

He recalled the clue Chilton had given him: Captain Addison of the Dawn had written to his wife, saying he carried something that could make people stronger, a mysterious power from the East...

If it were something particularly important, such as something Forbidden Item, why would the other person write about it in a letter to his wife?

This was clearly a joke he made to amuse his wife!

Absolutely amazing!

Qing Chen took out the Sea Dog Pill and smashed them one by one into Chilton's face. "I'll make you stronger! I'll make you stronger!"

What a waste of time! He said that everyone in the Outer World is bound by shackles and cannot awaken. They must first awaken in the Inner World and then return to the Outer World to continue awakening.

Under such circumstances, how could Forbidden Item as a relic have been passed down to posterity?

Yang Yang, who was standing to the side, was almost laughing her head off, "Why don't you keep it? You might need it someday."

"This has been sitting for over two hundred years, it's long expired!" Qing Chen said irritably.

The nine Sea Dog Pill hit Chilton hard on the head, leaving him dazed.

Chilton suddenly shouted, "The most beautiful person in the world is on this ship!"

By this time, the Radiant Brilliance was very close. Kabri, hearing Chilton's shout, was somewhat bewildered. He looked at the other future members beside him and asked, "What kind of nonsense is that?"

As core members of the Future Organization, they naturally had firsthand information, so they didn't know how the news had evolved.

Seeing that Kabri didn't move, Chilton shouted again, "The person you, Kamishiro, Kashima, and Mirai are looking for is on this ship! We're all being held hostage! The person who just killed the Radiant Security guard is the one you're looking for! We don't want to be enemies with Mirai!"

In Chilton's words, he deliberately portrayed himself as the coerced person, while Qing Chen became the culprit and instigator.

He didn't care whether the Penguin was actually the North Pole or not, nor did he need to carefully verify it; he just needed to shift the blame eastward.

If Kabri and Qing Chen were evenly matched, wouldn't he have a chance to survive?

After all, Kabri is a C-Class expert!

This time, Kabri finally realized what was happening. He glanced excitedly at the future crew members beside him. "Go tell the Bath by satellite phone that the North Pole is in the Greenland waters! We've found that person!"

As he spoke, he began to outline the tactics. "Bring Rondo's cargo ships over as well. Use the Radiant Glory and the cargo ships to surround the North Pole, preventing them from turning around. Everyone, grab your rifles and prepare to fire. If anyone dares to show themselves, riddle them with bullets!"

At this point, the Future Organization was unaware of the true strength of the person aboard the North Pole.

However, anyone who can mobilize such a large force in Kamishiro, Kashima, and Jiuzhou must be extraordinary.

Therefore, Kabri did not want to approach rashly; he wanted to wait for the Bass to come and join him.

On the cargo ship and the Radiant One, hundreds of people had taken cover behind various bunkers, all pointing their guns at the North Pole.

On the deck of the North Pole, Qing Chen looked at Chilton: "Aren't you afraid I'll shoot you first?"

Chilton forced a smile and said, "Now that you're about to be surrounded, it's not me who needs to unite you, but you who need to unite us. Release us from these shackles, and we can fight alongside you."

Qing Chen looked at Yang Yang, Yang Yang smiled and said, "A fierce tiger doesn't need to herd cattle and sheep."

Herds of cattle and sheep roam, but only the fierce tiger roams alone.

These were the words Qing Chen had written on the wall beside his bed. Now, on the eve of this impending storm Yang Yang uttered these words, which suddenly gave people a strange sense of exhilaration.

Zhang Jian, hiding in the cabin, shouted loudly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Qing Chen was a little surprised; this guy was braver than he had imagined. He smiled and said, "No need for help. Just go and lock Old John and Nedup in the cabin and don't let them come out."

As he spoke, Zhang Jian watched as Qing Chen threw Chilton and the others into the air, drawing a burst of gunfire from Kabri's side.

However, after Qing Chen used Yang Yang's force field to throw those people into the air one by one, Yang Yang suddenly saw the boy opposite her, and her pupils narrowed.

A person's eyes can change their appearance.

So when Qing Chen's pupils narrowed and became vertical, Yang Yang felt as if she were facing a wild beast.

Amid Chilton's screams, curses, and cries of terror, Qing Chen silently calculated all the gunshots.

Automatic rifle, 30-round magazine.

There were a total of 91 people on the two boats, and 12 of them remained unfired, waiting to respond to any unforeseen circumstances.

But it's okay.

Gunshots.

Angri curses.

Gunfire from the ship.

The waves beneath the boat.

The heavenly kingdom and the dark clouds resembled an inverted ocean, and in the distance above the sea, they seemed to stand at the edge of the world.

"Now," Qing Chen said.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Yang flashed behind Qing Chen and hugged his waist. The two of them were lifted into the air, and the seawater on the deck was stirred up by the force of the impact, spreading outward like a tornado.

Zhang Jian stared at this scene with his mouth agape, thinking to himself, "So this girl really can fly!"

But then Yang Yang and Qing Chen shot into the air. The 12 gunmen on the Radiant Ship raised their hands to fire, but they couldn't keep up with Yang Yang's speed.

The two arrived hundreds of meters in the air. Qing Chen pulled out Black Sniper from the void and pulled the trigger one shot after another.

Gunmen on deck burst into bloody mists, staining the decks of the cargo ship and the Radiant Star red.

Waves crashed against the ship, seawater surged onto the deck, and then carried the blood into the sea.

This was a combination technique devised by Qing Chen and Yang Yang. As long as there were no destroyers present, they only needed to fly a few hundred meters into the sky to suppress everyone with firepower.

At this distance, only Qing Chen is capable of killing; no one can kill him.

On this dark sea, he is the most invincible fortress, the ruler of the dark divine kingdom in the sky.

It is as if the dark kingdom of gods has descended today because of him.

The roar of sniper rifles is like the thunder of a divine kingdom descending.

This is the source of Qing Chen's confidence in leading Shen Dai and Kashima to sail out to sea to find him, and it is also the fundamental reason why he invited Yang Yang to be his protector this time.

If he hadn't heard about the destroyer in Oslo port, the people from Kamiyo Kura and Kashima would have been dead at sea long ago.

Kabri watched nervously from inside the cabin. He hadn't riddled Qing Chen with bullets, but Qing Chen had nearly turned his Radiant Ship into a sieve!

He finally understood why the Bath warned all future crew members not to approach the North Pole if they encountered it.

It turns out there was an extremely terrifying person hiding on this ship!

The girl is the rarest force field Awakened in the Inner World, while the boy is a sniper god who can casually pull out an anti-material sniper rifle from the void and hit it every time.

What kind of weird combination is this?!

Kabri was a little jealous. If he had that kind of ability, why would he need to join the Future Organization? Why couldn't he do something on his own?

At this moment, Chilton was not yet dead. He had been shot seven times, six times in his limbs and once in his right lung, so he would not die anytime soon.

He lay on the crab traps stacked like tofu blocks, looking up at the sky in his dying moments, watching the boy and girl above, recalling how he had fooled them like country bumpkins.

Chilton suddenly felt incredibly stupid, as stupid as an ugly fish in the deep sea that doesn't need to think.

These are true Time Walker! Compared to these young men and women, they have all wasted their chance to travel through time.

In just two minutes, Qing Chen had completely wiped out the cargo ship and the Radiant Glory.

Only Kabri remained, hiding in the cabin.

"Don't you think we look like Jack and Rose from the Titanic right now?" Yang Yang teased from the air. "I'm Jack, and you're Rose."

Qing Chen: "... Should we sink a ship to mark the occasion?"

But the next moment, Qing Chen suddenly felt something was wrong. He saw dozens of fish fins emerging from the water and rapidly approaching on the distant sea surface. On the other side, there seemed to be a huge creature also rapidly approaching.

"This is bad," Qing Chen frowned, "It's the blood from Yesenia and the Radiant Glory that has attracted the ocean overlords."

Yang Yang paused for a moment. "Will this battle turn the Outer World's ocean into Forbidden Zone? Forbidden Sea?"

"Probably not. Yesenia's level is at most D-Class, not high enough to qualify as Forbidden Zone," Qing Chen said. "However, the blood of extraordinary beings has a natural attraction for beasts. I think that as more and more Time Walker clash at sea, it's only a matter of time before the Outer World forms Forbidden Sea."

If one day a colossal creature from the Forbidden Sea were to appear in the Outer World, even the wide-angle lens of a submersible would only be able to capture its head.

Then the Forbidden Sea truly appeared.

"Kill Kabri and leave this area as soon as possible. There are still divers in the sea, but they cannot survive the battle between these ocean predators. We don't need to deal with them," Qing Chen said in a deep voice.

There's a 5,000-word chapter, and another one at midnight. The second chapter is a bit late today because the annual DOTA2 international tournament has started, and I have to watch a match...

Support Team China!
