"003, 003. Boss, we encountered a thunderstorm at our location. Should we go back?"
Daji replied, "You guys go back."
The signal worsened, but the other side still replied. "003, 003. Roger!"
Ships contacted him one after another to ask if they could evacuate.
Daji told them all to retreat.
Then, he asked someone to operate the speedboat before he went to look for Qiao Nian.
Reaching her, he saw at least seven black round things by the girl's feet. Daji looked at them curiously, but he could not tell what was their use.
He walked past these little things and softly asked, "Sun, the wind is about to get strong. Should we retreat?"
Qiao Nian looked up at the dark sky and saw a faint rumble of thunder. The corners of her eyes raised slightly; she was not frightened by the threat of the heavens in the least.
Looking at the time, she concisely said, "It won't rain for the next two hours. It's just thunder now. I don't need that long. Give me half an hour."
"Alright." Daji did not ask her how she was sure about when it was going to rain. Instead, he turned around and told Chun Lei and the others to keep going.
***
Chun Lei and the others could tell it was the 'newer' who insisted on continuing.
Their expressions changed slightly. Anger and confusion appeared between their brows. Due to Daji's prestige, they did not express their opinions. They tacitly agreed to continue forward.
They waited for Daji to leave.
Someone could not suppress his anger. "Does she know how terrifying a sea storm is? Everyone will die if we are just a little unlucky!"
Chun Lei kicked him. "Stop talking! Boss saved our lives. I'll listen to his arrangements even if I die here today."
The spoker's knees went weak and he almost went down. He gritted his teeth in pain.
However, realizing that he was being selfish, he endured the pain and did not say anything else.
The others did not feel good, either. They felt that Daji was listening to the 'newer' too much.
However, these people always obeyed orders. Even if their lives were in danger, no one would gossip anymore.
At this moment, lying on the side of the cabin, Monkey brushed the dark seawater aside and said in a low voice, "Even if we reach the location, with such bad visibility, it will be harder for her to find someone than ascending to the sky."
Wasn't that what the others thought?
The sky was dark, and the seawater was darker. If one went down, they would probably not be able to see anything. It would be best if they were not swept up by the seawater.
**
15 minutes later.
The speedboat arrived at the location.
Daji stopped the motor, and the speedboat went on with the waves. The weather did not improve, and the sky seemed to be getting darker.
Everyone was waiting to see what Qiao Nian planned to do next.
Daji walked over and saw the girl picking up the black round things scattered on the deck. "Sun, these are?"
"The search robots I made."
Qiao Nian threw one into the sea.
"They have a sensing system that can be controlled remotely. They also have electronic eyes and thrusters that can allow them to travel 500 km anywhere."
