Fortunately, they hadn’t taught Doudou too much about natural disasters, but Huo Yishen still felt uneasy, “The sea here is complicated, and there might be another current colliding with us. But we can’t let our guard down. What if it comes again later? We should stay in the escape pod today.”
Jiang Ning took out a lunch box from her bag. “Don’t think too much. The world is big, and eating is the most important. Only when you are full can you have the strength to fight the storm.”
Although she is smart, Doudou is too well protected. Seeing so many survivors sinking with their boats and the powerful storm they couldn’t resist, she was deeply shocked and didn’t eat much at all.
Natural disasters are brutal, but she needs to learn to adapt.
Huo Yishen handed over a calming drink, “Doudou, relax and get some sleep.”
After drinking the calming drink, Doudou closed her eyes to sleep but didn’t let go of her brother’s hand.
Late at night, she seemed to have a nightmare. She murmured something in a low voice, sweat kept oozing from her forehead, and her body twitched from time to time.
Jiang Ning collected the escape pod and moved the two of them to the submarine.
Although the space wasn’t large, at least it was relatively safe.
Huo Yishen put his sister on the iron bed and did not forget to fasten the safety belt to prevent any impact from the storm.
Jiang Ning was still quite cautious, “Sea storms generally don’t last long, but the sea can be unpredictable. We only have one submarine, so let’s wait until tomorrow to go out.”
Since the space was hers, Huo Yishen had no objections.
In fact, it’s not just Doudou. Even if Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen have experienced two lives, it’s the first time they have faced such an unpredictable and dangerous sea disaster. It’s a lie to say that they are not shocked.
But after all, they have experienced a lot, and they can adjust their mentality quickly. After settling the two, they went back to the next room to sleep.
Tired, especially heavy.
The space is quiet and safe, but outside, there are still violent storms, lightning, and thunder. The whole sea is like a violent and angry dragon, and waves roar continuously, as if it wants to tear the world apart.
Huo Yishen set the alarm clock for five in the morning.
Worried that the storm might still be going, Jiang Ning made sure to tighten her safety belt.
The submarine entered the sea, and it was so quiet.
Probably, the sea had enough of its madness last night. This morning, it’s calm and peaceful and doesn’t mirror any of last night’s chaos. What a crazy turn of events!
Jiang Ning climbed the ladder and opened the hatch.
At five in the morning, the eastern sky was starting to brighten.
The sea was calm as a mirror, reflecting the first light of dawn, starting with a faint red and growing brighter as the sun rose…
Jiang Ning hugged her knees, sat quietly on the submarine, and stared at the beautiful scenery of the sunrise in the east.
As terrifying as the sea was yesterday, this morning’s sunrise was just as magnificent.
This is nature, which makes people afraid but fascinated.
The morning dew was heavy, and Huo Yishen feared she might catch a cold, so he took off his jacket and draped it over her. “What are you thinking?”
“Do you think there really isn’t any land left?” Jiang Ning turned to look at him, gently leaning on his shoulder. “Or do you think there might be a few places exempt from natural disasters, but they have not been found by anyone yet?”
The ocean is like a poppy flower, mysterious and alluring, yet dangerous and daunting.
Jiang Ning still preferred land, the sense of security from solid ground.
“Maybe there are places exempt from disasters,” Huo Yishen sat next to her. “Even if not, we have coordinates. We’ll return to land eventually.”
Thinking about those coordinates, the light that had been extinguished in Jiang Ning’s heart seemed to brighten again.
When it comes to who is the best at artificial islands, only the Lord of the East has no equal.
It might not be possible now, but as long as the technology and equipment are preserved, returning to land might not be a dream.
The sunrise was beautiful, with the sun hanging in the sky and the sea surface shimmering like gold.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but look a few more times. The dog barked below, and Doudou woke up.
After a nap, seeing that Doudou was in much better spirits, Huo Yishen did not forget to let her come up to breathe and see the beauty of the ocean after the storm.
When the submarine submerges, it is not possible for them to come up at any time.
Doudou climbed up and was amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of her. Was this still the same ocean from yesterday?
After seeing the scenery. The submarine continued to dive until it reached a suitable depth.
The two had no plans to travel the ocean for the time being, so they didn’t waste fuel by running around.
Just as they opened the largest observation window, a shark rushed over from a distance. It had a bloody mouth and sharp teeth.
Doudou and Coke were frightened at the same time and quickly stepped back a few steps.
Jiang Ning smiled. “This piece of glass is special, and the sharks outside can’t see you.”
There is transparent glass, but it is on the top floor of the submarine, and the glass window is very small, mainly for safety reasons.
Sure enough, after the shark rushed over, it turned around again.
There was not just one, but more than a dozen, probably attracted by the current when the submarine dived below.
Since there was no smell of blood, they did not attack, and they seemed quite gentle through the observation window; they were actually playing in groups.
They might look ugly, but they seemed somewhat cute.
However, thinking about how they tear apart survivors in the ocean, Jiang Ning felt a bit nauseous. They really weren’t cute.
Suddenly, the sharks began to swim away, and very quickly.
A massive dark figure came over, and the dog retreated again…
Woof, doesn’t it have any shame? So annoying.
The submarine shook, and Jiang Ning almost lost her balance.
Seriously, the surface was attacking, and now the seabed too?
Huo Yishen quickly supported her and looked at the animals outside the observation window, only to see the huge body brushing past the submarine. It is squeezing the submarine and shaking it.
Given the submarine’s weight and its fully loaded displacement, it was not insignificant.
Any marine creature with a bit of sense wouldn’t dare to provoke it.
But apparently, a daredevil of the sea wasn’t afraid of dying.
One bump wasn’t enough; it kept bumping and bumping…
The submarine is in a static suspended state and when encountering a thick-headed giant pushing against it, it could indeed be pushed around in the water.
At a critical moment, this damn thing kept pushing and shaking.
Jiang Ning got angry and wanted to see what it was.
Uh, it was pitch black, so big that the whole body could not be seen clearly. A big fish tail could be vaguely seen. The skin color was black… no, it was dark blue.
It seemed to be a blue whale!
What luck, just as they opened the door, a blue whale started ramming them with its rear.
The largest blue whales can weigh over 200 tons, and just their tongues are said to be 2 tons, with hearts larger than cars.
If it is a male, that thing alone is more than 3 meters long.
Jiang Ning had never seen such a giant. This blue whale was conservatively estimated to be at least 600 or 700 tons.
After all, the mutated yellow croaker and flying fish are roughly this size, and as the king of the ocean, it’s probably even more impressive.
And it was still alive; no wonder it could push the submarine around.
The submarine continued to shake, but it wasn’t particularly violent, and all the important external parts were retracted back into the internal compartment. As long as it didn’t go crazy, it wouldn’t be damaged.
Huo Yishen kept observing and said with a wry smile, “It seems like it’s scratching an itch.”
Scratching an itch? Jiang Ning almost choked.
Should she laugh or cry!

Please bear with me if I didn’t update right away 😅. I was either buried in work 💼… or buried in rereading the book 📖. (P.S. Most of the time I’m rereading it 🤭—so you know just how good the story is! 🌟)
