A lazy moon hung in the sky above the sea.
The wind speed hit six on the Beaufort scale, and large waves two meters high formed and crashed onto Ling Yun’s speedboat, shaking its balance. Ling Yun proceeded forward nonetheless.
Ling Yun stood on the bow of the boat, his rock-solid legs planted firmly in the ground. He stood firm and strong, excited for the adventure ahead.
He was just fifteen nautical miles away from Turtle Island!
Ling Yun went back into the cabin and put on a brand new set of stealth clothing and a black mask.
Ling Yun’s mouth curled up into a cruel smile as he accelerated slightly towards the huge ships.
Huaxia’s three surveillance boats were “confronting” seven Japanese patrol boats twelve nautical miles away from Turtle Island. The confrontation was obviously lopsided, the surveillance boats being driven away shamefully.
Ling Yun continued on his path towards them.
Both sides were alerted to the strange speedboat that came out of nowhere.
Dozens of searchlights illuminated Ling Yun’s speedboat. It became the focus of the entire sea all of a sudden.
A Huaxia surveillance boat slid slowly towards Ling Yun’s speedboat. Ling Yun saw the electronic display on the surveillance boats flashing red letters: “Turtle Island and its affiliated islands have belonged to Huaxia throughout history. Stop your intruding activities immediately.”
A screech from the loudspeaker echoed, and sounds of warning traveled into Ling Yun’s ears.
“The speedboat in front, please note, you have entered a sensitive area. For your personal safety, please stop and turn around immediately. Please turn around immediately so that you won’t cause unnecessary disputes…”
Ling Yun flashed a scornful smile and charged forward instead with a speed of more than fifty knots. The speedboat started jumping on the surface of the water towards Turtle Island. The surveillance boat gave chase!
You are stopping me even though the Japanese have yet to utter a word. Turtle Island won’t f*cking be returned to us even after a million years with your way of doing things! Ling Yun sneered secretly and gave the surveillance boat a visible middle finger.
A series of warnings ensued, but Ling Yun simply dismissed them all as he sped towards Turtle Island!
“Instructor Zhang… This ship won’t heed our warning. He is within twelve nautical miles of Turtle Island. What should we do?”
The officers in the cockpit of Surveillance Boat 995 looked at each other, puzzled.
Instructor Zhang held binoculars to his eyes and observed Ling Yun’s speedboat. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. “This speedboat came from the northwest direction, which is our seas. There are Chinese characters all over the speedboat. This person should be a patriot from our country who is trying to smuggle himself onto the island late at night…”
“The Japanese patrol boats are gathering. They will definitely try to stop the speedboat from reaching the island. They might even sink that speedboat. What should we do?” An officer was panicking.
Instructor Zhang raised the binoculars again, sighing inwardly. “The maximum speed of our surveillance boat is eighteen knots. It’s impossible to catch up with him. Let’s follow and keep an eye on him!”
“Lee, report back to the superiors and seek their guidance. Plead them to reply as soon as possible. What should we do now…”
“Yes, Sir!”
Three surveillance boats adjusted their direction at the same time and observed his movements.
Ling Yun’s speedboat was less than a hundred meters away from the patrol boats. They had also issued various warnings to him in English and Japanese.
It didn’t take a genius to guess that they were ordering him to leave immediately or face the consequences.
Why would Ling Yun bother with the gibberish that the Japanese were spouting if he didn’t heed the advice of the Huaxia Marine Police? He floored the accelerator, and the motorboat roared even louder!
He flew right through the closing gap between two patrol boats!
Ling Yun sped through one nautical mile in a minute. At this speed, he would be able to reach Turtle Island in less than ten minutes!
“Baka 1!”
Nozaki Yuji, the commander of the Japanese operations, was looking at the scene through his binoculars onboard Patrol Boat 478. He was infuriated!
“Boats 473 and 474, give chase! Stop that speedboat at all cost! We can attack him since he has breached our territorial waters!”
“Boats 471 and 472, what the f*ck are you doing! You can’t even stop a small speedboat? Go after that boat and sink it!”
Several orders were issued by Nozaki Yuji consecutively under his wrath. A total of five Japanese patrol boats surrounded Ling Yun!
“Idiots, you think you can trap me?” Ling Yun sneered. He played around with the patrol boats and broke through their formation with ease, continuing on his way to Turtle Island!
…
Ling Yun was now less than five nautical miles away from Turtle Island!
Ling Yun peered over his shoulders and snickered to himself. “These idiots aren’t aware of their fates. They are going to die here tonight!”
Nozaki Yuji was livid. His voice rang through the microphones, saying, “A bunch of trash! We cannot let him reach the island! That will be a great insult to our nation!”
Ling Yun continued his game with them. He even slowed down occasionally so that he could feel the thrill of losing them in an instant.
He only truly decelerated when he was within five hundred meters of the island. It was then that he allowed them to gain on him.
The draft of the speedboat was only 0.83 meters, so there was no danger of the boat hitting the rocks. The reason Ling Yun slowed down was that he had found the perfect spot to unleash his killing spree!
The patrol boats took the opportunity to surround him. A man peeked out from the patrol boat with an amplifier and directed his message to Ling Yun. “You there, you have breached our territory. You have been completely surrounded. Surrender immediately! Hahahaha…” This person was actually speaking Chinese.
Ling Yun was standing proudly on the deck with a one-tailed Little White. His eyes were cold and ruthless. “Turtle Island and its affiliated islands have been the territory of Huaxia since ancient times, when did it become your territory?”
The officers on board the six patrol boats emerged from their cabins and roared with laughter upon hearing Ling Yun’s declaration.
“Hahahaha… your territory? Turtle Island flies our flag, and your ships dare not go any nearer than twelve nautical miles around Turtle Island!”
“We have patrolled Turtle Island day in and out and chased your surveillance boats away. What do you have to prove that Turtle Island belongs to your country?”
“Did your surveillance boats come over to help despite you being trapped by us?”
Laughter, disdain, and ridicule came in waves. The strangely dressed Ling Yun was their prisoner.
Ling Yun glanced in the direction he came from. True to their words, there wasn’t even a shadow of the surveillance boats from Huaxia.
None of the three surveillance boats dared to venture over, what a disgrace… Ling Yun’s heart turned cold.
Ling Yun might be standing alone, but he didn’t need anyone’s help.
However, anyone would face inexplicable humiliation and anger when his country failed to support him.
A small light about eight nautical miles away in the other direction caught his attention.
It was the fishing vessel he passed by earlier! Ling Yun felt gratified.
Amongst their ridicule, Ling Yun’s words were powerful. “I’m still here!”
The officers on the patrol boats had just received an order from Nozaki Yuji to arrest Ling Yun immediately!
“Whoosh…” Ten black guns had their barrels pointed at Ling Yun. Six of the officers disembarked from the boats to arrest Ling Yun.
“Little White, be careful of the guns. Cast an illusion on them when I make my move, but don’t let the bullets hit you,” Ling Yun said to Little White with telepathy.
Ling Yun knew that Little White only needed to cast a simple illusion to confound them.
Little White nodded in response to Ling Yun.
The six officers approached Ling Yun’s speedboat cautiously, all while hurling vulgarities at him.
“Peng peng peng peng…”
Ling Yun’s left foot planted firmly on the ground, while his right food spun three hundred and sixty degrees in the air!
The officers each received a kick directly to their chest.
The sounds of rib cages cracking rang out!
“Ughhhhh…”
“Splash…”
Screams and sounds of dead matter falling into the water reverberated! Ling Yun had kicked all six of them to death!
Ling Yun let out a cry and leapt into the air while the rest of the enemies were still stunned!
