The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1225 The Old Man and the Sea?

Zhang Su smiled and shook his head: "I can't explain it well."

horrible?
A significant portion of the respondents expressed complex emotions that cannot be simply summarized as fear.

"Well, if I can't explain it well, I won't. I won't think about it, and if I don't think about it, it'll be fine. After all, it's just a dream."

Zhong Xiaoshan gently comforted Zhang Su.

Is it really just a dream?

Zhang Su silently shook his head. Just a few days ago, he could firmly believe it was a dream, but now...

"Let's go, it's getting late, we still have a lot to do today."

Zhang Su got out of bed and started to get dressed, but he couldn't help but think about what had happened before.

Last night, in that so-called dream, the damaged Ice Heart was repaired twice. The first time, the light orb reacted, but the second time it ignored it completely. In other words, it didn't care much about the light energy repairing the Ice Heart.

On the contrary, the original intention of the light sphere was very clear, which was to forcibly keep him in that dream space, but due to the operation of the enhancement method, he was immediately released!
What does this mean?
They clearly did not want Zhang Su to use the light to strengthen himself.

"What kind of logic is this? Why can't I strengthen my body? Is it preventing me from becoming powerful?"

Zhang Su couldn't understand it. In his understanding, if the Frozen Heart could be fully repaired, the power it could provide would probably be even greater than his own. If it really wanted to hinder him from becoming stronger, it shouldn't have allowed the Frozen Heart to be repaired.

Unless the enhancement method has some other use he doesn't know about!
"I don't understand..."

With doubts in mind, after having breakfast at the camp, I led the team toward the port as usual. Today was the last day of the training camp.

"Brother Su, this is a timetable showing the changes in the glowing sphere last night. Take a look."

Wang Xin and Pan Guoliang did not return to the camp for breakfast. Instead, they waited at the port. After the brothers arrived, he handed a port record sheet to Zhang Su.

"It's troublesome."

Zhang Su took the form and looked at the recorded time and changes in light and shadow. His face was expressionless, but he felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but look up at the quietly floating ball of light.

Based on the changing light and darkness, he was fairly certain that the orb of light could appear simultaneously in reality and in his so-called dream!

Since I didn't know the real time while I was "dreaming," it was hard to verify the changes that came before, but the sudden brightening at 6:30 and the return to normal after a minute or so was too obvious!
It was at that moment that he was trapped and unable to wake up, so he decisively started to activate the enhancement technique, and was then kicked back to reality.

The changes in the light sphere were naturally a way of competing with him.

"Young friend Zhang, have you encountered any problems?"

Seeing Zhang Su staring blankly at the glowing sphere, Elder Zong asked him curiously.

"Oh, no, I was looking at the waves. They are indeed bigger than yesterday. I hope they don't get any bigger..."

Zhang Su folded the record sheet and put it in his pocket, saying, "Let's go, let's not waste any time. Let's start today's lesson. First, we'll solidify the Tai Chi palm technique, and then we'll teach a set of offensive techniques at the end. How about that?"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Elder Zong's request for Zhang Su was certainly not unreasonable, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He was certain that Zhang Su had something on his mind, but since the other party didn't say anything, he didn't press him further.

Once aboard the aircraft carrier, Elder Zong immediately spotted unfamiliar faces among the crowd.

"Is this little kid going to practice martial arts too?"

"Hello, Elder Zong."

Kuang Miao stood beside Chen Hanzhou. When the old man in the wide robe pointed at him, he smiled a little embarrassedly and nodded, not knowing what to say.

“Yes, Elder Zong, let him come over and experience it. You just teach him according to the rhythm, and then let him watch the video to catch up on his lessons.”

Zhang Su wouldn't let Kuang Miao disrupt the overall schedule; the purpose of calling him over was simply to get a feel for the atmosphere.

Elder Zong nodded and struck a pose: "Alright then, let's review yesterday's material first..."

As Qin Chen began his training camp at the port, a medium-sized cargo ship was sailing in, braving the waves.

A few days ago, describing cargo ships sailing at sea as "riding the wind and waves" would have been an exaggeration, but judging from the current situation, it is very apt!

Waves crashed against the side of the ship, sending up sprays several meters high.

"No, why are these waves getting bigger and bigger? I don't like this feeling at all. What's going on? This is just ridiculous!"

The chubby deputy regimental commander of the third regiment at Laoshan Camp had a big belly, a gloomy face, and his nose was red from the cold.

He was extremely unwilling to go on this mission, wishing he could just abandon his wife who was under house arrest. Unfortunately, not everyone thought like him! "Whether you like it or not, what can you do about it? You've been nagging non-stop since we went to sea, even more talkative than an old woman. Can't you just shut up?"

The strong and muscular deputy regiment commander was also full of resentment. Hearing the fat deputy regiment commander's incessant nagging, he finally couldn't help but retort!

"Xu Nianrui, are you out of your mind? I'm just annoyed and I'm only grumbling a few words, not targeting you. Why are you taking it out on me like this?"

The chubby deputy regimental commander Tao Qinkang got angry after being criticized.

"Alright, you two, stop fooling around. If we work together and get things done as soon as possible, wouldn't everyone be happy? And this sea, why does it have to be all the time, right when we go out to sea, to make waves? Damn it!"

The commander of the Third Regiment, Chi Chengjiang, understood people's hearts very well. If, at this time, one simply uses one's position to suppress them, telling them to prioritize the overall situation and saying some empty words, the situation may be stabilized on the surface, but it will definitely not have a good effect in the long run.

A few words here and there, followed by some shared complaints, are all it takes to build rapport. This makes subordinates feel that he is one of their own, and that they are also in a difficult situation.

"Alright, alright, this trip has been tough for everyone, Captain, shall we continue to refine the plan?"

"Okay, let's do it one more time. Fatty Tao, go and call the person in charge over and give him some instructions!"

With the pointless verbal sparring over, the three began to study how to approach the forces at Qincheng Port. They needed to be courteous but not too humble, otherwise it would hinder the subsequent negotiations. This gave them quite a headache.

"Commander, there's a yacht about six nautical miles to the northwest at 25 degrees!"

Just then, someone reported on the situation at sea.

"A yacht? The waves are too big, it must have drifted here from some port."

"Most of the boats at the port are frozen solid; they can't float!"

"Just drive over and see for yourself!"

Regiment Commander Chi Chengjiang decisively issued an order that any discovery in this sea area should be taken seriously.

On the yacht, Zhao Kongkong stared at the dark dashboard with a worried expression.

Everything was ready, the tank was full, and we set off. But the waves at sea kept getting bigger and bigger, and eventually the small yacht couldn't withstand the waves. Something went wrong, and it was left stranded on the vast ocean!

It is estimated that there are less than 100 kilometers of sea route left, but this is an insurmountable barrier.

Just when he was at his wit's end, he saw a large ship appearing not far away.

Hua Hua...

Two assault boats were launched from the cargo ship, carrying about a dozen combat personnel, and quickly arrived at the yacht.

The speedboat circled the yacht a few times but found nothing amiss, so it boarded the yacht and immediately found an old man who had fainted in the cabin!

"Commander, there's only an old man on the yacht, he's semi-conscious, what should we do?"

"Old man?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Chi Chengjiang felt a sense of doubt.

"Holy crap, what is this? The Old Man and the Sea?"

Tao Qinkang couldn't help but tease him from the side.

Chi Chengjiang smiled helplessly, pressed the call button, and said, "If you see he's still alive, bring him back and ask about his condition."

A moment later, several members of the Third Regiment helped an old man back onto the cargo ship.

Upon seeing the old man in white, Chi Chengjiang frowned: "This, this person... this guy seems to be an expert from the Yancheng camp!"

"White robes, long sword, old man, that's him. According to the intelligence, he's known as the Sword Immortal by the people of Yancheng Camp. How come he's floating at sea!"

Tao Qinkang looked incredulous.

Xu Nianrui said thoughtfully, "He should have escaped to Qincheng with the black bear. Let's wake him up and ask him. There's something fishy about this."

"W-where is this?"

Zhao Kongkong spoke at the perfect moment, appearing half-dead, but secretly he had already figured out where the group of people in front of him came from!
People at the Laoshan campsite in Qingshi.

Based on the location at sea, the direction of navigation, and the content of the conversation I had overheard, I roughly understood my situation.

I shouldn't die anytime soon, but whether I can survive depends on the situation!
