What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Through Lao Xia's guidance on the dream of the man with the jade pendant, Xiang Kun knew that the main members of their gang and Brother Kui, who led them to escape from the country to Myanmar, all came from the same place, and most of them were from the same family. Many are also related by blood.

So before, the jade pendant man was worried that he and the long-haired man would be left behind by Brother Kui. What he worried about was not that they would be abandoned voluntarily, but that when Brother Kui and the others encountered force majeure, they would have to run away without having time to take them with them.

So in the dream, Lao Xia strengthened his thoughts about the man with the jade pendant, making his sense of the current crisis expand and intensify, and he felt that it was imminent. If he didn't run away, he would be caught, skinned and stretched, and he would die without a burial place. Fear, so as soon as he woke up, he immediately started to contact Brother Kui.

Obviously, Brother Kui now has no channel to understand the actual situation in Montamila City. For Brother Kui, the two people staying at the scrap collection station are already his most trusted information channels.

So after listening to the jade pendant man's distorted and exaggerated description of the local situation in Mentamira, especially after speculating on the possible actions of the boss Wu Lun, Brother Kui allowed him to leave with his long-haired companion and go to another city. Wait, someone will pick them up and wait to board the boat tomorrow night.

Xiang Kun did not wait for dawn to follow Yuzhuang Man to another city and wait for the boat to arrive before boarding. Because time was urgent, he set off directly.

A lot of information was revealed during the phone call between Yuchuan Nan and Brother Kui. Although they did not clearly indicate the location and coordinates of their ship at this time, they gave Xiang Kun enough conditions for judgment.

He had a rough range of judgment in his mind, and at the same time, he gave these conditions and the data he judged to Alice, who made a more detailed deduction based on the relevant big data information and sea area maps of fishing boats in southern Myanmar.

Of course, he didn't pin his hopes on Alice.

The new ability he developed in Star City before, the "anaerobic mode" that is extremely adaptable to the underwater state, should also be able to help him collect sensory information to the greatest extent if he is in the sea with the help of more "water".

Although it has only been two blood-drinking periods since the ability was developed, and there has not been much targeted training, and the degree of development is still very limited, but even based on the previous experiments in Jiangzhong in Star City, It should be no problem for him to search for a ship in a large area of ​​​​the water, determine the status of the ship, and affect the driving condition of the ship to a certain extent.

The only question is how long it will take.

After all, it was at sea, and "Brother Kui's" ship might not be in the area he speculated and judged, and it might not be able to be found in such a short period of time.

But even if he looked directly and failed to find it,

Wait until tomorrow night to determine the position of the ship through the jade pendant man and the long-haired man. Before leaving the scrap recycling station, he stuffed a "super-connected object" ball into the box containing the satellite phone. They will definitely take this thing with them.

Xiang Kun left Montamila overnight. When the car he ordered was about to arrive at the selected sea entry point, he suddenly received a location map from Alice.

The picture Alice sent did not mark a range of ships with a high probability of appearing as Xiang Kun expected to help him narrow down the search area, but...

Give the other party the exact location at a point in time.

This is obviously not a judgment that can be drawn from the information he provided.

Xiang Kun immediately thought of two possibilities. One was that Alice used the information he provided and combined other information on the Internet to find the specific number of the ship "Brother Kui" and others were on, and then invaded the system of the relevant maritime department of Myanmar. , to obtain relevant location information - at least he knew that domestic fishing boats or other commercial vessels that want to legally go to sea must be equipped with GPS to facilitate positioning, contact and rescue by relevant departments.

But considering that this is Myanmar and what "Brother Kui" and others are doing, there is a high possibility that the ship is a "black ship".

Then there is another possibility. Alice is located through the satellite phone used by "Brother Kui".

Among the information he provided to Alice, there was indeed the model and code of Jade Pendant Man's satellite phone - he had glanced at it and written it down when he was installing the "super-connected thing".

But he had never thought of asking Alice to use satellite phones to determine positioning before, because he didn't know much about satellite phones himself, and he was pressed for time and didn't have much time to research.

However, some annotations on the second positioning information sent by Alice confirmed Xiang Kun's guess. Alice did use a satellite phone to perform positioning. She had hacked into the satellite phone used by "Brother Kui". The service provider's network management center.

How did Alice do it in such a short period of time?

Even though Xiang Kun was Alice's creator, and even though he knew that she had been "expanding" and "evolving" herself rapidly after being granted higher authority, he still couldn't help but be a little surprised at this time.

The speed of this "evolution"... seems a bit too fast.

But he is not worried, because Alice is his "partner" and his "super assistant". The stronger the ability, the more helpful she will be to him. Just like now, she can save him a lot of time. .

The top priority now was to find Xia Tianhuo and rescue him, so he was not in a hurry to ask Alice how she did it.

After arriving at the beach, it was already bright. Xiang Kun did not rush into the sea. Instead, he avoided the local people and observed the area for a while. After observing the traces, he found a ruined building that no one had visited for a long time. The clothes, shoes, socks, and cash on my phone were all put in my backpack and hidden. Then I only wore a pair of underwear. Following the route I had observed before, I chose a location where no one noticed, and quickly jumped into the sea.

Following him into the sea were only dozens of "super-connected" balls.

Xiang Kun, who had been prepared for a long time, entered the "oxygen-saving mode" after his body was fully submerged in the water, and the dozens of balls dispersed quickly like guards, forming a "protective circle" for him in the water. Help him sense and integrate the surrounding water.

Xiang Kun swam faster and faster in the water, like a torpedo being launched, and soon reached the highest speed.

Sneaking in the water without a mobile phone, Xiang Kun's judgment of the direction was still accurate.

He relied on his sense of the "hyper-connected things" left on his mobile phone and clothes to contact the surrounding "hyper-connected things" to determine the distance to the shore and the direction of movement, and then constructed a map in his mind to locate his own location. location and travel to the direction provided by Alice before.

During this period, it is natural that "Brother Kui"'s boat will continue to move and no longer be at the position Alice previously located. However, as long as he knows the previous location, Xiang Kun believes that he will be able to search for it.

At noon, Xiang Kun emerged from the sea and floated on the water.

At this time, except for the boundless sea water, no objects could be seen around him. There were no ships, no islands, and no land. It was as if he was alone in the sky and the sea.

Of course, Xiang Kun didn't just pop up to see the scenery. Although his speed in the water was already inhuman, he was still not satisfied. He felt that it wasn't fast enough.

But now, he had a new idea.

Looking at the gathering clouds above his head, Xiang Kun quickly judged the conditions for "lightning flight".

However, he does not want to "fly by lightning". Although flying is definitely faster than the speed he is traveling through the water now, "flying by lightning" has a big limitation, which is that it relies on the atmospheric potential gradient in strong convective weather. . However, Xiang Kun proactively triggered a thunderstorm in advance and started to discharge energy in advance. The energy burst would be too strong, too fast, and the area would be too small to support long-distance flight.

He had thought about it before and discussed it with Lao Xia when he was in Star City. What he could do in the water by using the water's potential in the "oxygen-saving mode" was essentially the same as "flying with lightning".

So Xiang Kun has actually been looking for ways to "learn" from each other, or "integrate" and "use" each other.

And now, he thought of a method and was ready to try it.

…

"Brother Kui" stood next to the cargo crane at the bow of the ship, ignoring the scorching sun above his head, frowning and squinting at the distance, as if thinking.

If Teng Li had not died and was successfully kidnapped by them, according to the original plan, they should have been in Thailand by now.

But now, the plan has been completely messed up. Tengli died directly in a small car accident. They also temporarily tied up Xia Tianhuo. The current situation is to consider where to go and how to save their lives after leaving Myanmar.

The reason why they couldn't sneak to Thailand as originally planned was because the support arranged by Thailand was related to the boss Wu Lun.

At present, "Brother Kui" is really not sure what Wu Lun's attitude will be towards them, whether he will sell them directly to the big boss or Myanmar officials to evade responsibility, or whether he will secretly kill them all and silence them. , so as not to involve him.

In the early hours of the morning, people who stayed in Mengtamila made an urgent satellite phone call, saying that the situation in Mengtamila had become very tense. The police, Wu Lun and some other forces had moved into action, and Wu Lun's people It seemed that he was looking for them, which made "Brother Kui" finally make up his mind.

Early this morning, he contacted a relationship in Indonesia and prepared to make Indonesia their next destination.

When I was thinking about something, a young man with a crew cut and a scar on his cheek came over and whispered: "Brother Kui, are we...really going to Indonesia?"

If Xiang Kun or Lao Xia were here at this time and heard this voice, they would immediately recognize it as the kidnapper's voice in the phone recording.

"Where else can we go if we don't go to Indonesia?" "Brother Kui" said with a sigh.

"Can those people over there in Indonesia be trusted?" Scarface leaned against the side of the ship and asked worriedly.

"Let's see when the time comes. It's definitely not possible to expect them to be loyal. They are all ungrateful people. When the time comes, I will give them a pie and let them see the hope of making a lot of money. We will stabilize first." "Brother Kui." " said.

The reason why he had been hesitant before making a decision until he received a satellite phone call from Menta Mira was because the relationship in Indonesia was not very reliable and there were too many variables, so he would not make a choice unless he had to.

"Then let's... tell the Xia family to bring the prepared money to Indonesia?" Scarface asked.

"Brother Kui" thought for a few seconds and shook his head: "No, wait a little longer. Wait until the land is a little more stable. We must find a safe way to receive the ransom."

"Then...should we go back first to pick up Pigskin Boy and the others?" Scarface asked again.

"Of course, why don't we just throw them away?"

"But..." Scarface hesitated, "Do you think they have been captured by Wu Lun?"

"You mean Wu Lun used them to trick us into coming here?" Brother Kui thought for a moment and said, "No, Pigskin Boy has been with me since he was thirteen. Although he is lazy, cheap and cunning, he still can't He's just a kid. And if he has a guilty conscience, I can hear it when he talks. But your worries are reasonable... Even if they don't cooperate with Wu Lun, they might be followed secretly and send people ashore to pick them up. Don’t meet them first, but take a look at the situation on the side first.”

Scarface breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved. Just when he was about to say something, the crew member in the second-floor cab at the rear suddenly ran out and pointed to the front while holding the rail and shouted something in Burmese.

Brother Kui and Scarface subconsciously looked back in the direction the man pointed, and then saw a black storm in the distance that connected the sea and the sky.

It's sunny and sunny here, and compared to that side, it's like two different worlds.

"Fuck!"

Brother Kui and Scarface both cursed subconsciously. Not only them, but also everyone else on the ship, except for Xia Tianhuo who was locked in the cargo hold, ran to the deck and watched in horror as the monster who didn't know when it appeared appeared and swept away. Coming storm.

"Old Mr. Diao Lei!! I was so numb that I didn't say there was a storm in this area!~ Damn it!" Brother Kui hurriedly ran to the cab and asked a Burmese man loudly in half Burmese and half Mandarin: "Can you avoid it? ?”

"It's too late, you have to be prepared!" the Burmese crew member replied loudly.

So everyone on the ship began to run and get busy, getting ready to face the storm.

There seemed to be a very violent thunderstorm erupting in the distant storm. They could see electric dragons looming and crisscrossing from a distance, which was very scary.

Seeing that scene made them even more frightened. After all, most of them, including "Brother Kui," were not people who really made a living at sea.

But just when they were ready to fight the storm, the black storm in front of them quickly dissipated and soon became completely calm. The air and sea in front were equally calm, as if the two "worlds" were suddenly connected. Together, they were assimilated by the wind and sunshine here.

It was as if the terrifying storm that scared them to the point of peeing just now had never happened.

"What's going on? Was that...a mirage just now?" Scarface stared blankly ahead and said in confusion.

But before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they discovered another abnormality - their ship was not moving!

Although the boat's engine was still running and they could hear the sound clearly, looking at the sea water next to them, they saw that the boat had indeed stopped moving!

After a few seconds, the sound of the engine disappeared, and the entire ship lost power and floated quietly on the water.

But the strange things didn't end. People standing on the side of the ship suddenly discovered that the ship's hull had become completely motionless, and it no longer even felt like it was floating!
