Chapter 47, Seizing the Opportunity to Take Power
"An'an, what are you doing here so leisurely? You're making your mother very anxious. Hurry up, your father is waiting for us. If we leave late, there might not be enough seats, and we'll have to stay behind."
An's mother's words stunned Zhong Bingxuan. What did she mean? This disaster had only just begun, and there was already a chance to survive?
Impossible, the copy would never leave such a large vulnerability.
"Mom, what did you say? Aren't we supposed to be going on a boat trip?"
“Oh dear, my dear daughter, you weren’t very clever yesterday. You deduced that the seawater might freeze. I talked to your father and we felt that we couldn’t take the risk. We asked him to find a way to end the sea voyage early.”
"Look, the weather changed drastically today, and Haba's people arrived just in time. If we hadn't left, we wouldn't have been able to leave."
It turns out this matter is related to my reminder yesterday. If other players were simpler-minded, they might have thought this was a chance to survive and fled with Mother An.
However, Zhong Bingxuan still had a first-class mission, which required her to survive on the giant ship for three days. In addition, based on her previous speculation with Li Hanmo, she was not optimistic about this early rescue operation.
"Is that so? Mom, do you know how Dad plans to send us off?"
With only a few modes of transportation available at sea, and the seawater likely to freeze, only helicopters can carry people away.
But who knows when the storm will arrive? Going away in a helicopter with Mother An now is tantamount to gambling, betting that the storm will come late and we can escape in time.
But if a storm is coming soon after, that would be suicide.
“Your dad pulled some strings and got a helicopter over. It can only carry ten people. We need to hurry over, or it will be too late.”
Mother An noticed that many people were eyeing the seats on the helicopter. Upon learning that Harlein was the one who had called the helicopter, many young and beautiful women were scrambling to get on board, hoping to seduce Harlein, this wealthy and eligible bachelor.
If An'an hadn't been outside, An'an's mother would never have left Harlelin, giving those little bitches an opportunity.
"mom……"
Zhong Bingxuan wanted to tell him about the storm that might be brewing, but An's mother couldn't wait and forcefully pulled Zhong Bingxuan toward the place where the helicopter was located.
Strangely enough, Zhong Bingxuan's immense strength had no effect on An's mother, who forcibly pulled her away.
Zhong Bingxuan's eyes were unfathomable. She tried to break free from An's mother's grasp with more force, but to no avail. So she stopped struggling and followed An's mother toward their destination.
An's mother is a delicate and frail woman, how could she be stronger than someone with superhuman strength?
It seems that this helicopter rescue operation will require players to participate, thus weakening their own strength.
When Zhong Bingxuan arrived at the top platform of the giant ship and saw Li Hanmo, her guess became even more certain, and the scene became even more chaotic with Zhong Bingxuan's arrival.
"An'an is here, let's hurry up and go!"
Harlelin paced anxiously, waiting for his lover and stepdaughter to arrive. He didn't even glance at the many young and beautiful women surrounding him.
"Young Master Lin, you can't just walk away. We've always had business dealings. You can't just stand by and watch someone die."
An old man blocked Harlein's path, trying to use his meager connections to board this helicopter to a better life.
Harlin shoved the man aside and said impatiently, "Get out of here. The helicopter is already full. If you squeeze in, it will be too heavy to take off, and we'll all just wait to die."
Harlein was not a pushover, or rather, a pushover wouldn't be able to support such a large business; he would have been targeted and devoured by those wolves and tigers long ago.
If Zhong Bingxuan's original mother hadn't gotten together with Harlelin, she would have been standing there with lifeless eyes, wiping her nose and crying, just like those other women who failed to rise to power.
Zhong Bingxuan didn't really want this kind of luck. Her first-class mission wasn't finished yet, and the threat of the storm still existed. Considering both factors, she wanted to refuse Harlelin's suggestion.
Unfortunately, An's mother, noticing something was wrong with her daughter, covered her mouth and forcefully took her to Harlelin's side.
“My dear, don’t be kind at a time like this. It’s already good enough that your dad can take the two of us with him. He really can’t take care of the others. Don’t cause trouble for your dad.”
Zhong Bingxuan thought that An's mother already knew her thoughts, but she didn't expect that the other party had misunderstood.
This misunderstanding is better than revealing my identity.
Unexpectedly, this instance has mandatory requirements such as following the storyline. Zhong Bingxuan recognized quite a few players on the field, and those players deserve half the credit for the chaotic situation here.
Just as they were about to get on the bus, Li Hanmo walked over quietly and stopped An's mother from taking Zhong Bingxuan any further.
"Madam, the situation is unclear, so please don't be too nervous. The weather might be better tomorrow. It would be a waste of this cruise trip if you left now."
Of course, Li Hanmo was just trying to fool An's mother. All the players present knew that disaster was about to strike and would not leave halfway through.
Even if things seem to be improving, it's just the calm before the storm.
But the NPCs had no idea about these things. Mother An was stunned by what Li Hanmo said and began to ponder how accurate his words were.
Harlelin wasn't in a hurry and waited for his mother to make a decision. Anyway, the helicopter had already arrived, so a little more time wouldn't matter.
"We still can't gamble. If something really happens, we won't be able to leave."
Zhong Bingxuan felt somewhat helpless upon hearing An's mother's words and wanted to step forward to help persuade her.
Another problem arose with the helicopter. While Zhong Bingxuan and Li Hanmo were trying to persuade An's mother, Mo Hei whispered in Man Lavin's ear, "Young Master Lavin, Young Master Lin doesn't care about you at all. The helicopter is here, and he didn't even bother to inform you."
"If someone hadn't started making a fuss, you wouldn't have known about this. Just imagine how miserable your fate would have been once the helicopter left and the seawater froze."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking?"
Manraven rolled her eyes at Mohei. This woman was as vicious as ever, but there was some truth to what she said. Since Harlein was ruthless, he shouldn't be blamed for being unrighteous.
Since he happened to have learned how to fly a helicopter, taking a few obedient people with him wouldn't seem out of place as he flew away in the helicopter.
Among the people Manraven brought were players: one was a noisy player, another was a player who offered benefits, and the rest were lucky enough to get on the plane by flattering him.
The last player even kicked Harlein, who was standing in front of the helicopter, in an attempt to curry favor with Manravin and escape from this hellhole, before running to Manravin like a sycophant.
“Young Master Raven, you are the most suitable person to command this helicopter.”
"Okay, you're one more. Let's go."
Manraven swaggered into the helicopter, ordered the players to grab Harlein's pilot as well, throw him onto the rooftop platform, and then sat in the helicopter pilot's seat, waving triumphantly at Harlein outside the helicopter.
