Chapter 712: Sneaking In
The person driving the yacht is a young man nicknamed ’Old Driver’, who is about the same age as Chen Moxiang. He’s a lively guy.
Don’t be fooled by his youth; he’s a true seasoned driver. Airplanes, cannons, ships—there’s nothing he can’t operate. This kid has even been to space, so naturally, the responsibility of sailing the yacht fell to him.
The speed of the yacht generally ranges from 40 km/h to 120 km/h.
This yacht is equipped for members of the Security Management Institute, so the hardware is naturally excellent. After sailing for a short while, they arrived at their destination.
"How far is the target ship?" Chen Moxiang asked.
Liejiu glanced at the map on the tablet and said, "We’re almost there. At their speed, we will encounter them in about five minutes."
Chen Moxiang nodded and shouted to the Old Driver, "Submerge."
"Alright."
After the Old Driver’s response, Lin Tian could feel the entire yacht tremble a few times. Through the window, he saw a layer of transparent bulletproof glass rise around the ship, sealing off its upper part and enclosing the entire vessel.
Next, a stream of water flowed into the side chambers, and the entire yacht submerged.
Jiang Huaisi sat on the sofa in the yacht’s inner cabin, legs crossed. At this moment, she’s no longer the PR queen but a formidable national weapon. Yet, old habits die hard, like her crossed legs.
She looked at Lin Tian with a curious expression and lightly pressed her lips together, smiling, "This yacht has been modified. The layer of bulletproof glass is not only for diving but also for safety. However, due to many constraints, the yacht can only submerge twenty or so meters."
Lin Tian nodded and continued to observe the yacht.
Truth be told, this was Lin Tian’s first time on a yacht; he didn’t have the money before, and now he doesn’t have the time.
Yachts are not for everyone; the price of a yacht is extremely high, especially the maintenance costs, which are astonishing.
For example, between a yacht and a Rolls-Royce of the same ten-million price, the maintenance cost differs by six times.
What’s the difference between a rich man and a wealthy man?
It’s private yachts and private jets.
And now, this modified yacht is probably even more expensive.
The reason the yacht should submerge is likely to avoid detection and facilitate the mission to seize the ship.
Although the yacht only submerges a few meters, the cargo ship doesn’t have radar, so how could it detect this? Even if it did, the yacht has the most advanced anti-detection devices.
Finally, the target ship came near, only about two kilometers away. At this distance, it wouldn’t take long for the cargo ship to sail right past.
"Take this first; if the virus leaks, it might save your life!" Chen Moxiang said, taking pills from a box and handing one to each person.
Once everyone had taken a pill, Chen Moxiang waved his arm, signaling action!
"Lin Tian, you come with me first, and then act accordingly."
Chen Moxiang spoke, grabbing a backpack and walking into an isolated cabin, gesturing for Lin Tian to follow.
This isolated cabin is designed for exiting into the water. However, the yacht is only so large, allowing only two people to enter and exit at a time, so others must queue.
Without hesitation, Lin Tian grabbed a bag and stood with Chen Moxiang. Once the hatch closed, the cabin began to ascend to the surface of the water.
The two exited the cabin, and it retracted to bring out the others.
In a repetitive manner, everyone except the Old Driver surfaced.
This was Lin Tian’s first time entering the sea in winter. If not for the protection of Spiritual Qi, he’d probably be frozen solid and sinking like a stone.
Others were also shivering but quickly adapted and started swimming around.
They needed to keep their blood circulating; otherwise, they’d freeze stiff sooner or later.
Fortunately, the target ship soon appeared in sight. Everyone swam toward it, preparing to take control of the ship’s occupants.
Because cargo ships need to carry goods, their size is enormous. In comparison, Lin Tian and his team seemed like a giant next to ants.
Splash, splash~
This was the sound of the cargo ship pushing through the waves. Lin Tian and the others were about ten meters away; no one needed reminding as they all tightly gripped a climbing hook they’d taken from their bags long ago.
Attached to the bottom of the climbing hook was a silver ball, round and plump like a sponge ball. According to Liejiu’s introduction, this thing was called an adsorption stone, with strong suction power. Even if the climbing hook didn’t catch anything, the adsorption stone would cling firmly to the ship’s hull.
Twenty climbing hooks were thrown toward the hull, and after hearing a series of ’pupu...’ sounds, none of the hooks latched onto anything, but the adsorption stones stuck tightly to the ship’s body.
Lin Tian and the others had ropes tied to the climbing hooks. As the cargo ship moved forward, they were dragged along with it.
This wasn’t surfing, but rather, they resembled surfboards, tied by the waist and hit by the force of the sea, almost snapping Lin Tian’s waist. The icy sea water kept splashing into his mouth, with its salty and fishy taste.
Lin Tian’s hands grabbed the rope, pulling himself closer to the cargo ship.
At this moment, his hands were wearing gloves with hooks, which Chen Moxiang had earlier instructed him to wear to increase friction for pulling the ropes.
Soon, Lin Tian closed the distance with the cargo ship, his body finally pressing against the hull.
Chen Moxiang and the others were obviously slower than Lin Tian, still pulling the ropes.
"I’ll go up first to take a look," Lin Tian shouted to Chen Moxiang.
Chen Moxiang was still in the sea at this moment, and upon hearing Lin Tian wanted to go up first, his heart tightened. This foolish boy going up alone, how dangerous could that be!
Yet, after thinking about it, Lin Tian’s skills were countless times better than his own, so he nodded awkwardly in the water.
Lin Tian’s statement wasn’t a question but an affirmation. Without seeing Chen Moxiang’s nod, he removed the hooked gloves and took out two palm-sized vacuum suction cups.
He pressed the vacuum suction cup onto the smooth hull, pushed the button, and heard a ’puff’ sound as the air inside was evacuated. Then he attached the other hand’s suction cup. Finally, releasing the button allows air to flow back in, letting the suction cup detach from the hull.
Repeating this, Lin Tian climbed up like a giant gecko, moving step by step toward the deck.
Finally, Lin Tian reached the deck. Looking back, Chen Moxiang and the others had just taken out their suction cups, preparing to become giant geckos.
