Chapter 98: Huge Change!_1

"It looks a bit like some kind of magnetic field binding device."

As Ding Yi observed, the people on board carried the black box into the cabin. It seemed the yacht had completed its mission and quickly left.

The massive ship slowly started up, approaching the harbor at a slow sailing speed.

Logic made his way to the bottom of the ship's cabin, where the diesel engine room of the vessel was located. The 16-cylinder diesel engine that powered the massive ship was as big as a small building and weighed a thousand tons. Each cylinder housed a massive crankshaft connecting rod, which moved up and down, bringing surging power to the giant ship.

"Would you like some oranges, comrades?"

"Get some vitamin C."

He waved a bag of oranges, smiling and greeting the duty engineers.

"Thank you."

The two duty engineers smiled, approached him—a surveillance blind spot—and with one punch each, Logic knocked them unconscious on the floor. Then, he peeled an orange, ate, and waited. Two minutes later, a muffled explosion sounded. The cabin's inner wall burst open with a hole large enough for an adult to crawl through, and seawater gushed in. Over twenty fully armed special forces troops entered through the breach.

"Are you Logic? The Eastern Cultivator?"

The leader lifted his mask. Logic did not recognize him, but that didn't stop him from completing the mission assigned by the System.

"That's right, it's me."

"Where is the calculation server?"

"I'll take you there."

With Logic as their inside man, the special forces quickly took over the calculation server. While docking, a mass of elite soldiers burst out of the disguised containers, catching the people on the ship off guard. They fought as they retreated, drawing guns and firing back, heading towards the Judgment Day Vessel.

Gunfire erupted.

Many of the Adventist members on the ship were not professional combatants. Someone wanted to destroy the server with gunfire right away but was preemptively shot dead by Logic. His dynamic vision and nerve reflex speed, enhanced by the Cultivation, along with the control over his body, had enabled him to hit his targets with every shot.

The Adventists, these thorough anti-human cultists, seemed fearless in death and still caused considerable trouble to the invading soldiers. They leveraged the narrow, winding corridors, akin to a beehive labyrinth, to engage the soldiers, at times seemingly on even footing.

Only Da Shi and Ding Yi stood not far from the massive ship, watching. Then they saw the girl, who had somehow gone beneath the giant vessel. She leapt up effortlessly, like a light cat, onto the deck eight stories high. Her ponytail swaying, she turned into an indistinct blur of motion, disappearing on the deck.

Da Shi's eyes were about to pop out of his head. As he snapped back to reality, he saw Ding Yi rush forward and, using the same motion, jump onto the giant ship. Unlike the girl, it seemed strained and difficult for him.

He was completely dumbfounded. The world had gone mad; the things he had experienced lately could shock an ordinary person for an entire year. Even with a strong heart from his years as a veteran and a detective, Da Shi was finding it hard to cope at the moment.

Inside the ship's cabin, where soldiers were engaged in a firefight with the enemy, they saw a figure surrounded by electrical light rush into the corridor where the enemy was positioned.

The figure didn't even need to lift a hand; merely passing by the enemy left each one convulsing, collapsing to the ground as if struck by high-voltage electricity.

The situation tipped one-sidedly in an instant, and the soldiers in the corridor looked at each other, wondering who was really the power communicating with the aliens?

Twenty minutes later, the troops finally secured the giant ship.

Strangely, they never found the core individual, Evans. Upon interrogating the crew, they all claimed ignorance as well.

Deep within the ship's cabin, soldiers tried to force open a steel door but discovered it was locked from the inside. They attempted to use C4 explosives, but the door didn't budge. It was very possible that Evans was hiding behind it or at least that it concealed some important secret.

Ding Yi and Logic gathered in front of the steel door.

"Damn, this shell is really tough!"

Da Shi cursed and kicked the door a few times, but it didn't budge.

"I don't even know what this door is made of, it won't blow up," Colonel Stanton added.

"Let me try," said Logic, his eyes sharp. He stepped back, and the soldiers gave the Cultivator ample respect, moving aside.

He kicked the door, and although the massive force made the door shudder, it was of no use.

"Allow me."

A serene voice spoke, and the girl stepped forward. To the astonishment of those watching, sparks flashed from her fingertips. Then a stream of electricity, thicker than a human waist, erupted. The corridor filled with a blinding light, prompting them to instinctively shut their eyes. When they reopened them, they saw the once unyielding heavy alloy steel door had melted away, leaving a large hole. The steel around it turned into flowing molten metal, glowing with intense heat.

"Holy shit!!!"

"Fuck!"

Stanton and Logic let out profanities in succession, only Ding Yi and Da Shi, who had just witnessed the girl's extraordinary abilities, managed to keep a relatively steady expression.

The soldiers stood with their mouths agape, and Stanton was the first to snap out of it. He threw a flash-bang grenade through the hole and charged in, with Ding Yi and the rest of the soldiers following cautiously, all of them sneaking curious glances at the girl.

The last to enter, Logic swallowed and asked,

"May I ask, are you the Thunderclap Master?"
