The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1118 Competition
"Okay, follow my instructions. Gradually increase the power, starting with five percent, and continue, continue..."

The power of the medium-sized cargo ship with a thrust of 100 tons slowly increased, and the trawl net made of special material tightened, making a unique pulling sound. One can imagine how much force the net and the tow hooks on the cargo ship were bearing.

With the main ship stationary, the other four ships remained stationary. Everyone was closely monitoring the progress, and several drivers were listening intently, ready to start the ships at a single command!

The surface of the glowing sphere shimmered with ever-changing runes, which only Zhang Su could clearly see, probably as it was resisting an external force.

The dense lines exude a unique sense of technology. The large sphere did not touch the seawater, but ripples spread from the bottom, with small waves drifting outwards, and the shimmering light and shadows shining on everyone's faces.

The whole scene was incredibly jarring: a massive cargo ship, over 200 meters long, was struggling against a sphere less than two meters in diameter, like someone trying to pick up a marble from the ground but unable to move it...

It wasn't just the light sphere itself that changed; the energy bars within Zhang Su's body were also glowing, his silver-plated skin shimmering, and sharp spikes sprouted from its edges, as if it had bristled...

"No way, a cargo ship towing a light sphere can actually cause a reaction here?"

Zhang Su was very surprised. The most crucial thing was that he couldn't find the changes that the energy bar had brought him after the change, which was very frustrating!

"Alright, stop resisting. You're just going to stay somewhere anyway, so help out and make a contribution!"

Zhang Su muttered to himself.

"Keep pushing, keep going, give it your all!"

"Move, you dead ball, hurry up and move!"

"Be good, listen to me, don't struggle!"

Not only the members of the Yama Legion, but also many members of Tianma Island were praying silently. Although many people did not know what the purpose of this giant ball was, they believed that their leader would not do something in vain.

Even if we take a step back, such a good light source would be great to bring back to the camp and use as a lamp.

Whether the prayers of the crowd had any effect is unknown, but after a struggle, the luminous sphere finally moved. Everyone could see that it moved a distance on the sea surface, with flowing light and shadow and shining silver light!

This was something everyone could see. In Zhang Su's eyes, the complex patterns on the surface of the light sphere gradually faded away, and the technologically advanced light armor became very simple.

A magical phenomenon appeared on the sea surface: the light reflected on the sea surface did not immediately disappear after the light sphere moved over it, but gradually dimmed after a while, just like a video effect!
"Left one, two; right one, two; set sail!"

The central dispatcher immediately notified the other four ships to increase their power.

"yeah!"

"Ha ha!"

"Done! Come on, give me a high five."

Everyone was overjoyed that the ball of light moved smoothly.

"Woof, woof!"

Good Luck lay on the side of the aircraft carrier deck, barking excitedly at the ball of light, while Lightning lay on its back, happily waving its fur from side to side.

"Mission successfully completed. Head to Qincheng Port. We'll arrange a meal once we arrive. Let's make the most of this time!" Zhang Su relayed the order to each ship via walkie-talkie.

According to the original plan, if everything went smoothly, we could arrive at Qincheng Port at noon. However, we were delayed by more than an hour by the people from the Genesis Warhawk Division. Fortunately, there were no accidents on the glowing sphere side, which is something to be happy about!

"Honey, um... I feel like after the glowing ball was dragged, it really acted like a conscious living being, giving up all resistance. Look at that net, it doesn't seem to be under any force! Hey, why is it getting dimmer as I mention it? No, it's getting brighter, but... oh dear, I can't quite put my finger on it!"

Zhang Su heard Zheng Xinyu speaking over the walkie-talkie. It sounded like she was rambling incoherently, but she was actually expressing herself correctly!

What was originally a large area of ​​sea between several ships was so brightly illuminated by the light sphere that even people with normal vision could read a book normally.

However, as the light sphere was dragged, the light from the sea and sky was quickly drawn into the light armor, and the entire space dimmed at a visible speed!

Previously, the light sphere itself did not look very dazzling, but it could illuminate a part of the sky and sea. Now it has "collected" all the light into its light armor, and the main body has become dazzling, but it cannot illuminate the distance. It is estimated that there is only light within a few meters around the sphere.

If it were a ball of fire, burning fiercely over a large area, it would be understandable if the flames were suddenly concentrated. But a large sphere can control the light at will, completely overturning people's understanding.

Light still holds many mysteries for humankind, yet this giant sphere can be manipulated with ease!
As the light gathered inside the light armor, the brightness of the light sphere reached a level that ordinary people could not look directly at; currently, only Zhang Su could still observe it.

In his eyes, the light inside the light armor became condensed and intense, seemingly transforming into some kind of plasma creature!
"What the hell is this phenomenon? I'm not cultured enough to understand it!"

Looking at the bright orb of light and the dim ambient space, Zhang Su felt his brain burning.

Not only him, but everyone with a basic understanding of light was scratching their heads.

And as Zheng Xinyu said, the net bag didn't bear much force at all. It was swaying back and forth, and you could see that some parts were obviously loose, but the ball of light still followed steadily.

Like a stubborn child who, after struggling with an adult, realizes he is outmatched but is unwilling to accept it, pouting and following behind angrily!

"Wow, bro, this thing is really weird. What... what kind of phenomenon is this?"

"Its control over light is beyond our understanding. It may have consumed a lot of energy while struggling with the cargo ship. Now it's entering energy-saving mode!"

Zhang Su offered a somewhat forced explanation: "I'm not a scientist, so I don't know what's going on with the glowing sphere!"

As the basic version of the aircraft carrier battle group set sail again, hundreds of kilometers away at the Yongxian Genesis Camp, a piece of equipment in the school's research center was whirring incessantly, while a printer next to it was printing out data indicators.

Several staff members dressed in white lab coats stared in astonishment at the wildly fluctuating line graph. The person in charge sat in front of the computer, using outdated software to interpret the data, and muttered, "Judging by the time, Minister Chang and his team should have arrived at the location and probably already discovered the anomaly!"

"Minister, should we report this to the General?"

A young man asked questions while organizing data.

The Minister of Research stared intently at the screen, shaking his head. "This is just speculation. There's no need to rush to report it. Let's wait for more concrete information. I really want to know what it is..."

Reporting uncertain information is pointless and only makes it seem like you're eager to claim credit.

After a brief conversation, the detection instruments finally stopped issuing alarms, the energy fluctuations finally subsided, and the research department obtained a large amount of information, enough for them to analyze for a long time.
