Captain Zhang disappeared without a trace, under the watchful eyes of the Bai family and Zhang Yiming.
At a speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye.
Even though they were all powerful superhumans, none of them could see his movements.
All that could be heard from afar was the sound of waves crashing in the sea.
Then came peace.
An endless expanse of tranquility.
There were no roars of giant sea monsters, nor scenes of zombies and marine creatures scrambling to come ashore.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.
Why is there no movement?
Bai Yifan scratched his head, feeling that the seawater was too calm.
A strong human survivor entering the sea would surely draw away the attacks of the zombie-infested marine creatures.
Even if they can't beat Captain Zhang, they'll still make waves, and it's impossible for them to leave no ripples at all.
"A war between the strong does not necessarily require them to take action."
Zhang Yiming stood on the beach, with pale black waves occasionally lapping at his feet before receding weakly.
The ripples on the seawater were smaller than those caused by the wind.
"Captain Zhang is too strong."
The base commander looked at the sea with a sense of wonder and a hint of surprise in his eyes.
A normal person can only hold their breath underwater for a few minutes at most. Captain Zhang has powerful water-based abilities and other miscellaneous abilities, so theoretically he should be able to stay underwater for several hours without any problem.
But he's going to fight the monsters in the sea. This kind of powerful ability is probably something that no one but Captain Zhang can do.
Time passed slowly, from sunrise in the east until sunset in the west, but Captain Zhang showed no sign of emerging from the sea.
No zombie sea creatures emerged from the sea, nor did any sounds of giant sea monsters rang out.
There was no sound of waves crashing.
It was as still as a stagnant pool, with ripples only appearing when a gentle breeze stirred it.
The crowd's initial admiration turned into worry.
This time, the progress is not good.
"Xiao Ming, could something have happened to Captain Zhang?"
Bai Xizhu asked Zhang Yiming, who had stood motionless by the sea the whole time.
He stood like a statue, from the moment Captain Zhang went into the sea until the sun began to set, without moving an inch, his eyes fixed on the sea.
The Bai family knew that Zhang Yiming was using brainwaves to probe the whereabouts of Captain Zhang.
"No, he's fine."
Zhang Yiming paused, his voice calm and understated.
But a ripple appeared in those deep eyes.
The surprise, astonishment, admiration, and other emotions mixed together in that fleeting moment.
Before anyone could clearly see the emotions in Zhang Yiming's eyes, he quickly concealed them.
It seemed as if nothing had happened.
Bai Xizhu tentatively enveloped the seawater with her brainwaves, but her brainwaves were too weak to compare with those of an ordinary zombie king.
Distance is also limited.
I could only sense powerful brainwaves from afar in the seabed, and then I could not perceive anything else.
Strangely, those brainwaves didn't seem aggressive at all; they just stayed there, more like Zhang Yiming's zombie subordinates.
It seems that the zombie-like marine creatures Captain Zhang is about to fight are located at the very bottom of the ocean.
Bai Xizhu looked at Leng Yebai, who was pursing his thin lips, looking very serious, his cold brows furrowed, and he couldn't smooth them out.
As dusk settled, the Bai family hastily ate dinner and then went to wait by the sea again.
There was still no movement in the seawater.
The beach was even colder at night, with a biting wind that made even Bai Xizhu, who possessed ice-type abilities, shiver.
The Bai family eventually boarded the bus, leaving Leng Yebai, Bai Xizhu, and Zhang Yiming to wait by the sea.
Having not slept well last night and having spent the entire day guarding the beach, Bai Xizhu began to feel drowsy in the latter half of the night.
Leng Yebai found a thick down jacket, wrapped it around Bai Xizhu, and sent her to the bus.
Finally, only Zhang Yiming and Leng Yebai remained on the beach.
"Captain Zhang is really willing to go all out."
When Leng Yebai said this, his voice was very soft, so soft that it was almost impossible to hear him.
The cold sea breeze almost blew away his voice.
In the darkness, the two were some time apart and could hardly see each other, but they spoke a single sentence towards the direction of darkness.
“He never does anything he’s not sure of; this is part of his plan.”
After a long while, Leng Yebai finally heard Zhang Yiming's cold response from the darkness and the cold wind.
They started chatting in the cold wind, unable to see each other's faces clearly.
"So, it seems he doesn't particularly trust you either."
"He doesn't trust anyone but himself. In a way, he also trusts everyone."
Zhang Yiming's answer was a bit awkward, but Leng Yebai understood it.
Captain Zhang is just that kind of person.
He seems to trust everyone and gives every potential ability user enough crystal cores to absorb, never being stingy.
However, he doesn't trust anyone and will only do something if he is 100% certain.
When he does something, he sees it through to the end.
For example, right now.
Since Captain Zhang has partnered with Zhang Yiming, he must trust Zhang Yiming. If Zhang Yiming goes down with them, they will surely be able to easily crush the monsters in the sea.
