Two days later, Shen Xixi stood on the deck, looking at the land gradually disappearing from her sight in the distance.
The man in the colorful shirt had just finished checking the sailing route and walked out of the captain's cabin.
"I have read your medical report. Everything else is fine. Only your mental state seems a little tired. Is it because you have been too busy recently?"
"Well, my team and I have been driving around for the past month and a half. We haven't had much rest," said Shen Xixi, taking a cup of hot coffee from the man in the colorful shirt.
"Then you can have a good rest now. This trip is going to be a long one," said the man in the colorful shirt. "Of course, if you feel bored and want to find some entertainment, you are welcome to come to my room at any time."
"Thank you, but I don't need any entertainment," replied Shen Xixi.
"Although I knew that you were using me, I did not expect you to turn against me so quickly. Ever since you boarded the ship, your attitude towards me has visibly cooled down. It's really sad. No matter how nice you make it sound, I have to bear a lot of pressure to get you on board. Not everyone on this ship is as generous as I am. Not everyone on this ship is going to forgive you for what you did in the valley that night."
"It doesn't matter. I am not here to make friends," said Shen Xixi after a pause. Shen Xixi paused and continued, "If you have the time to complain, why don't you tell me your next plan? You said you wanted to keep it a secret when we were on land. But now that we are out at sea, you can tell me."
"Of course, you are also a member of the Deep Sea Hunter. This request is very reasonable." The man in the colorful shirt touched his chin. "I have always been a person who does not suspect people. Since I have decided to let you on board, I will not look at you with colored glasses like others do. What do you want to know?"
"How do we find … the target?"
"We are not looking for him," said the man in the colorful shirt. "After Poseidon was killed, the gods have lost track of him. Although we have all kinds of modern technology, it is probably useless. So, we need to change our way of thinking — let him come to us."
"How?"
The man in the flowery shirt smiled mysteriously. "Bait."
"It's not you. Although you are related to Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng is already dead. All that's left is his body. The one who occupies that body now is the Lord of R 'yleh. He won't have Zhang Heng's memories when he was alive. Even if I use you as bait, it's useless."
"What's the bait?"
The man in the colorful shirt didn't answer immediately this time. "I can tell you now, but this trip is so boring, and you clearly don't plan to have any entertainment during this period. So, I'll leave you a riddle to guess."
Shen Xixi did not dwell on the issue and continued to ask, "If Zhang … the Master of R 'yleh really appears, how should we deal with him?"
"This cargo ship was modified before we set off. It was equipped with torpedoes and missiles. One main cannon and three secondary cannons are all hidden under the deck. They will be raised when there is no one around. "
"Haven't these firearms been proven to have little effect on the target?" Shen Xixi asked.
"That's right. The key this time is the ammunition. Whether it's the torpedoes, missiles, or the main and secondary cannons, they are all provided by the guardians."
"What is this? A larger Godslayer bullet?" Shen Xixi frowned.
"Yes. As far as I know, the blood of the gods alone weighs a few tons. It is said that the guardians have found the most precious healing tools to bleed the gods day and night. After that, they will heal them and bleed them again. The process is repeated 24 hours a day. That's how we managed to gather all the materials we need, "the man in the colorful shirt said with a straight face.
"But if he appears directly on our ship, won't your weapons be useless?"
"Don't worry. We have definitely considered this problem. You will know when the time comes," the man in the colorful shirt said as he pulled out a fishing rod from nowhere.
The man in the colorful shirt took out a fishing rod out of nowhere. "Do you have any other questions? You don't need entertainment, but I do."
"Yes. Do the gods know about our operation? How do they plan to cooperate with us?"
"Those guys are not reliable at all. Don't count on them." The man in the flowery shirt shook his head. "The final battle this time will most likely be us humans. There are six more ships like this one, and they all set off from different ports. As long as one of our teams succeeds, we'll be able to save the world."
…
Just as the Deep Sea Hunter's ship sailed out of the harbor, on the other side, in Pluto's mansion, a meeting had also reached its most critical stage.
The battle with the Lord of R 'yleh was not going well, and the gods were divided into two factions. One faction advocated to continue fighting to protect the world and their own source of power. The other faction, on the other hand, proposed a new plan.
"Project Garden of Eden. Are you serious?" Ares, the god of war, was livid. He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Admit it. We can't do anything to him. Odin is seriously injured, Zeus' artifact, Thunder, is destroyed, and the spirit of the God of Science is also contaminated. We don't know when he will recover. We have suffered heavy losses in the previous battles," Isis, the goddess of life, said in a deep voice.
"But we still have a lot of people. We still have enough power to continue fighting. We are far from giving up," Ares said angrily. Ares said angrily. "Even those insignificant, short-lived humans have the courage to continue fighting. Are we, as Gods, inferior to them?"
"This is not something that can be solved with courage, Ares," the god of tarot cards interrupted. The God of Tarot Cards chimed in. "We also want to continue fighting, but the premise is that this battle is meaningful and does not continue to push us to the edge of destruction. While there is still time, we should choose a group of human children who have not been spiritually contaminated and bring them to a safe place where he will definitely not be able to find them. That is the only thing we can do."
"Then what about the billions of people outside?" Ares felt like he was going crazy.
"There is no other way. We cannot take the risk. As long as there is a person whose spirit has been contaminated and brought into the Garden of Eden, he will eventually enter. On the contrary, as long as we can ensure the purity of the Garden of Eden, the humans outside will soon die because that guy will bring destruction to the land. When the people outside die, he will naturally not be able to exist anymore. But we can still rely on the humans in the Garden of Eden to continue living until we return to this land."
