Chapter 1116
Captain Chen walked to the window, gazing at the azure sea outside, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
Wang Qian's betrayal not only betrayed the fleet, but also betrayed the hopes of all the survivors.
He would never let Wang Qian's conspiracy succeed. He was determined to seek justice for those who died in the tsunami disaster, as well as for Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu, and lead the fleet out of their predicament.
The mothership continued on its planned course, but beneath the deck, a swift and decisive operation against the traitor had quietly begun.
Wang Qian was still immersed in the joy of his impending success, completely unaware that an invisible net was slowly tightening around him.
The tenth day has arrived.
When they were still some distance from the seaweed, the king's plot was completely thwarted.
He was held in a solitary torture chamber.
At the same time, everyone who came back with him, regardless of whether there was concrete evidence of betrayal, was arrested.
The fleet also turned sharply, moving away from that green seaweed patch.
Zhou Shuwan, who had been staying on the cruiser, had already vaguely "seen" the shape of that seaweed.
She was taken aback.
It's described as green, but it's actually more of a bluish-green algae area.
These blue-green algae piled up layer upon layer from the seabed to the surface, surrounded by a large amount of gas that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and were bubbling away.
Although Zhou Shuwan couldn't be sure what it was, she was certain that the gas was poisonous.
In this almost terrifying sea of blue-green algae, Zhou Shuwan also saw several ships that had been swept up and decaying skeletons.
Judging from the wreckage of those ships, they were undoubtedly part of the fleet that the king had once led.
Could it be that the hundred-plus people he mentioned didn't die in the tsunami, but rather in this blue, deathly sea?
"Are you still feeling unwell?" Qi Mingyu sat on the edge of the bed, gently touching her forehead. He was only slightly relieved after confirming that she did not have a fever.
"Much better." Zhou Shuwan shook her head gently, her gaze fixed on the sea outside the window, and told Qi Mingyu about the scene she "saw".
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingyu frowned slightly: "Is it the new island that Wang Qian mentioned?"
“It doesn’t look like an island; it’s more like a dense patch of algae.” Zhou Shuwan said gravely, “And I can see many tiny bubbles floating around that patch of algae, as well as the wreckage of several shipwrecks. It looks like it’s been there for a long time.”
"A shipwreck?" Qi Mingyu was about to say something when Mu Mu and her parents pushed open the door and walked in.
He has already received the latest news.
"Captain Ma just received a message from the squad: Captain Chen has taken control of the situation on the mothership, and Wang Qian and his confidants have been detained. Captain Chen also mentioned that the destination Wang Qian mentioned earlier was that blue-green sea area, where he claimed there were islands suitable for settlement."
Zhou Shuwan felt a chill run down her spine; she had just realized it.
She straightened up a bit: "That's it! That area of the sea is absolutely off-limits. It's a deadly sea!"
Everyone's faces turned very ugly.
Zhou Shuwan described what she "saw" again.
"Are there any markings on those sunken ships?" Qi Mingyu asked.
Zhou Shuwan nodded: "It should be the fleet that Wang Qian led earlier. Most of them perished there."
"They said most of the people died because of the tsunami, but that's a lie! It's to make us believe that the blue-green seaweed area is an island, not a death zone!"
"Wang Qian is pushing the entire fleet to its doom!" Zhou Jianghai clenched his fists, his anger surging again as he recalled his daughter's near-death experience.
Qi Mingyu said in a deep voice, "It seems he had planned this all along. The so-called new island is just a trap. I just don't know what dangers are hidden in that sea area."
Just then, Captain Ma's voice came over the cruiser's loudspeaker, his tone serious and steady: "Attention all crew members, we are about to rendezvous with the mother ship. Please prepare for handover at your posts. Also, following Captain Chen's instructions, the fleet will immediately adjust its course, moving away from the blue-green algae-covered area ahead. All ships must remain on alert."
