Jiang Ning felt a bit regretful for running too fast that day; she should have checked things out.
Huo Yishen was amused by her thought, “Actually, you can practice holding your breath underwater.”
For ordinary people, holding their breath underwater for one or two minutes is already the limit, but the world record holder can hold it for up to 22 minutes.
If humans are forced into a life-or-death situation, more miracles will occur.
In addition, the speed of diving can also be cultivated, and the most powerful can reach 100 meters per minute.
So, it’s not surprising that those strange creatures could dive for a long time underwater.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of the world.
The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, and the burning clouds painted half the sky red.
Feeling cramped in the submarine, the three people and one dog decided to have dinner while watching the sunset.
After eating bland boxed meals for a few days, they decided to spice things up with a hot pot.
They brought out tables and chairs, set up a portable gas stove, and prepared fatty pork rolls, lamb rolls, meatballs, shiitake and oyster mushrooms, kelp, winter melon, dried tofu, and various vegetables.
The broth bubbled with steam, and the spicy, oily aroma was carried away by the sea breeze.
Huo Yishen opened a bottle of red wine, and the three clinked their glasses lightly. Doudou laughed, “Brother, sister-in-law, cheers!”
The dog squatting next to him, who couldn’t eat spicy food or drink, barked, “Woof, woof, woof!” He was so aggrieved that he kept digging with his paws, and didn’t want to eat the full bowl of chicken breast and bones given by the poop scooper. He looked at the ocean with angry and sadness in his eyes, and drooled from the corners of his mouth.
Jiang Ning had no choice but to give it some freeze-dried snacks as compensation.
After a spicy hot pot, they were sweating all over, and felt refreshed physically and mentally, with all the gloom swept away.
Sure enough, there is nothing that a hot pot can’t solve.
After eating and drinking, they submerge the submarine, took a shower, and went to bed.
She woke up naturally, opened the observation window, and found that the sea was calm and the light was sufficient. It should be a sunny day with calm wind and sea again.
After Lan Lan finished scratching her itch, seeing that Coke was itchy all over and wanted to exercise, Jiang Ning simply put away the submarine and took out the yacht. Doudou brought out the flowers to bask in the sun, and the dog ran back and forth between the decks.
Jiang Ning put on a sunscreen jacket and sat on a beach chair to sunbathe.
Having learned from their previous lesson, the two of them didn’t dare to be careless again. One of them had to stay on deck to keep an eye on the weather, which could change as quickly as flipping a page in a book.
Around noon, the wind started to pick up on the sea, but it wasn’t too strong.
The two returned to their room for a nap, and Jiang Ning told Huo Yishen to go rest, “Come back in two hours.”
After he left, she applied the luxurious face mask, lay leisurely on the beach chair, and observed the sea surface with a binoculars from time to time.
Just as she finished washing her face and was about to apply some skin care products, she suddenly smelled a foul smell.
Jiang Ning sniffed the air and thought it smelled like dead salted fish.
Impossible, Huo Yishen is a hygiene expert and does not let go of any corners.
She immediately picked up her binoculars and looked around vigilantly.
There is a boat!
A boat appeared from the direction of the wind.
Since the boat was not big, it was moving slowly along the wind direction.
The foul smell was coming from that direction.
Jiang Ning looked carefully and felt that the boat seemed familiar.
Looking at it a few more times, wasn’t this Sawadee ka’s fishing boat?
Damn, is this a ghost ship? It is more than a hundred miles away, but it can still float along the current.
Thinking of the corpse on the fishing boat and the stench that she smelled, Jiang Ning almost vomited.
With the wind, the smell drifted very fast.
The dog, with its sensitive nose, barked twice and immediately rushed out.
Huo Yishen and Doudou heard the noise and quickly followed.
Rushing to the deck, they saw Jiang Ning standing there, staring at the distance.
Jiang Ning handed over the binoculars, “Take a look.” Huo Yishen saw the fishing boat, but it seemed that something black was gathering.
A black tide?
No, the wind on the sea wasn’t that strong. Even if it was a black tide, it couldn’t spread this fast.
It was really moving way too fast. They quickly caught up with the fishing boat and gathered around it, spreading rapidly along the wall of the boat, densely packed, and climbing up continuously. They were black, shaped like beetles, and moved very fast.
There was a mass of them, like a black tide, that Huo Yishen, who did not have a phobia of insects, got goose bumps.
He took off the binoculars and wanted to tell Jiang Ning to run away quickly, but Doudou suddenly screamed, “Ah, bugs, there are bugs!”
The two turned around and realized that they had just been staring at the fishing boat in the distance and did not expect the black bugs to crawl up from behind.
They quickly climbed up the yacht, and there were so many of them that one could even hear a rustling sound. They all had black shells and green eyes, and their numbers were so dense that it was frightening.
Their sense of smell seemed to be very sensitive. After rushing onto the deck, they accurately headed straight for the three people and the dog.
Jiang Ning’s mind was buzzing, and she subconsciously wanted to take her family into the space. She had already held Huo Yishen’s hand but realized that she almost made a mistake.
The black bugs had already climbed onto the deck. If she took them and the yacht in, they would follow.
Jiang Ning was not sure what kind of monster this was, but judging by the speed at which they were running towards the fishing boat, they were definitely carnivores.
If they abandoned the super luxury yacht, it would be like cutting off an arm to survive.
It was true that she had a cruise ship, but neither she nor Huo Yishen could drive it, and the submarine could not travel in the shallow sea, so she had to keep the yacht.
Escape pod!
Fortunately, Jiang Ning was more careful. When she took out the yacht, she put the escape pod on the deck in case of emergency.
Huo Yishen moved quickly and open the door of the escape pod and stuffed Coke and Doudou in.
But tens of thousands of black bugs moved too fast, and there were only a few meters left.
Seeing that they were about to pounce, Jiang Ning took out lime powder from the space and sprinkled it over.
After frantically sprinkling half a bag of lime powder, the black bugs seemed to pause and even began to retreat.
Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the miscellaneous supplies she had stockpiled came in handy.
But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the black bugs began to surge forward again.
Jiang Ning was dumbfounded. Lime powder didn’t work? Damn it! If one trick didn’t work, she would try another one. Who told her that she had nothing else but enough supplies?
Chili powder, she used her hands and feet to sprinkle it desperately, and half of the snakeskin bag was sprinkled.
Fortunately, she had grown a lot of peppers over the years, and most of them were ground into powder.
As expected, the chili powder was strong enough, and the black bugs retreated again.
They were afraid, but it seemed like they weren’t particularly terrified.
“Anning!” Huo Yishen shouted, “Get in here quickly.”
It was too late. Black bugs swarmed from all directions, and Jiang Ning only had two hands, so she couldn’t even spread the chili powder. If she was distracted for a moment, they would quickly surround her.
What kind of monster is this? Even lime powder and chili powder don’t work. It’s abnormal!
Seeing the black bugs getting closer and closer, and about to crawl to Jiang Ning’s feet, Huo Yishen rushed out of the escape pod, “Tear gas!”
Tear gas? She didn’t stock up!

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! 🌟)
