Doomsday Code

Chapter 1052 Long Voyage

The sea was calm in the early morning, and the early-rising seagulls began their morning hunt.

With its sharp eyes fixed on the calm sea, it swooped down, crashing through the waves, and snatched away a fish that was rising to the surface with its sharp beak.

On this calm sea, a sailboat, like a speedboat, cuts through the waves.

What followed was not only the rippling seawater, but also the incessant sound of vomiting.

Chen Cheng and his companions were all landlubbers and had never been on a boat before, especially a fast boat like this.

After a few bumpy rides, even the strongest person can't control their nausea.

Fortunately, they got up early enough that they didn't have time to eat breakfast, otherwise it would have been even more uncomfortable.

At this moment, Chen Cheng and the others were all like salted fish, leaning against the ship's side and lying on the deck.

After being jostled around for a long time, he felt nauseous and stuck his head out to vomit violently.

After stabilizing the rudder and determining the course, Jelinek handed over the steering task to the Sasha sisters.

Fortunately, Chen Cheng chose to sprint at full speed using magic energy to speed up the journey, so only the three of them, including Jelina, were needed.

Jerina went to the stern and saw the corpses lying on the deck. She smiled and said:

"You all have the items I asked you to collect yesterday, right? You can take out the fish bladders from there and eat them; it might help."

Chen Cheng untied the spatial pouch at his waist, rummaged through it, and then took out a bundle of bubble fish swim bladders that Jelina had mentioned.

He distributed the fish maw to everyone, and, suppressing his urge to vomit, forced himself to chew and swallow the extremely fishy and dry fish maw in his hand.

After a short while, Chen Cheng and the others found that their heads and bodies, which had been very heavy, seemed to have become much lighter, and the physiological urge to vomit had also been relieved a lot.

"Are you feeling less seasick now? This bubble fish's entire weight is basically contained in this one swim bladder. It relies on this swim bladder to float and sink, and even fly. Eating it can give you a light body effect, which can help relieve seasickness."

Noah jumped on the deck, and indeed his body had become much lighter.

"That's really amazing! Captain, you said they can fly, but how can fish in the water fly?"

Noah asked with the curiosity of a child seeking knowledge.

Jelinek pointed ahead and said:

"Don't be surprised, there are still plenty of bubble fish, especially in this area. They will come out after the seagulls finish hunting."

Sure enough, not long after, just as the sun had fully risen, the sea suddenly began to boil and churn, and then round bubbles, each several meters in diameter, floated up from the sea.

These bubble fish are no smaller than a car in size, and the larger ones are more than ten meters long, just like hot air balloons.

If it weren't for the fact that some of the bubbles facing the boat had tiny heads, you would really think someone was releasing balloons into the sea.

These bubble fish inflate themselves hundreds or thousands of times in volume by inflating themselves before floating to the surface of the sea.

Then, control the release of gas to complete flight maneuvers and so on.

Their target is the seagulls that have finished hunting and whose bellies are bulging.

These seagulls are no ordinary seagulls; they are more than two or three times larger than ordinary seagulls.

These bubblefish fly very fast by exhaling. When they get close to the seagull, they quickly exhale and, before their swim bladders can fully retract, their bodies are like a large net thrown out, tightly wrapping the flying seagull.

At this moment, due to the contraction of the muscles, the fish bladder wrapped around the seagull really looked like it was caught in a large net.

Then, with a series of splashes, they all fell into the sea.

Looking at the fish bladder in his hand, which was about the size of two palms, and then at those bubble fish that were several meters wide, Noah could only marvel at the wonders of nature.

These flying bubble fish did try to pounce on the people on the boat, but because the boat was going too fast, they didn't have time to wrap their outstretched bodies around them before the boat sailed away.

At this moment, Jelinek had everyone take out nets and wave them at the bubble fish falling from the sky, catching quite a few live bubble fish.

"These fresh bubble fish are very smooth and chewy after being stewed, and they are perfect for breakfast today."

After passing through the Bubble Fish Sea, Jelinek spoke up to remind everyone:

"We have now left the nearshore area. From now on, we are under constant threat of attack from the sea creatures. Everyone, stay away from the ship's side and be careful not to be dragged into the sea by the sea creatures."

Then Jelinek asked Chen Cheng and the others to take out a can of special red powder from the prepared supplies.

"This is stingray powder, a highly toxic substance extracted from the stingray's venomous spines. If a sea creature drags you into the sea, scatter this powder so it can disrupt the sea creature's gills and allow it to breathe through the seawater."

Afterwards, Jelinek explained to Chen Cheng and the others the functions of the other items and how to use them.

For the first ten days or so, everyone was still somewhat interested in this boundless sea. As the sun rose and set, they could see many incredible marine creatures and the natural scenery of the ocean.

Especially at night, when they pass through the Blue Glow Jellyfish Sea, the blue glow jellyfish that live on the seabed beneath the ship emit a ghostly blue light due to the disturbance of the ship.

Under this eerie blue light, it was as if their ships were sailing on a ribbon of blue light.

However, after seeing so many of these novelties, and with nothing but the empty sea every day when they opened their eyes, everyone developed varying degrees of anxiety.

Sfit and the others did this very well. Since boarding the ship, their daily routine in Ireland consisted of sleeping, waking up, eating, and practicing meditation.

This is almost no different from their usual life on land.

"It's been so many days. Weren't they saying there would be big storms and sea creatures at sea? Why haven't I seen a single one?"

Noah lay on the deck, looking at the sun overhead, tapping the deck with his fingers and idly talking.

Whether he was jinxing them or not, a cloud suddenly appeared in the previously clear sky, right in front of their flight path.

Captain Jeline frowned as she looked at the cloud formations ahead, then gave an order to Lina beside her:

"Go ahead and tell them to prepare for battle, as sea creatures may attack from the cloud area ahead."

In fact, it wasn't just Noah and his crew who were anxious; Captain Jeline was also very anxious because, according to past experience, they should have encountered the sea creatures after leaving the coastal waters.

But after so much time had passed, she hadn't seen a single sea creature, and she felt extremely nervous and uneasy.

It's like having a sword hanging over your head. You used to know when the sword would fall and could have found a way to avoid it, but now that the timing is wrong, you can only live in constant fear.

The appearance of cloud cover ahead clearly indicates that a storm is approaching.

During the storm, that's when the crew is at their weakest, and the sea creatures might take the opportunity to attack.

Even if the sea creatures don't come, giving them this heads-up will allow them to prepare for the storm.

Lina went to the front deck and told everyone what Jeremy had said.

The group, who had been bored out of their minds, immediately perked up upon hearing that the sea creatures were attacking, and all of them were eager to fight.
