Chapter 646

The vast sea, even before doomsday, was also an area hard to be conquered . Too many kinds of creatures were living in the deep sea, and most of them were a total mystery to humans . After doomsday, the sea had become more ferocious and violent . As a result, it was almost impossible for humans to travel by sea . Aquatic mutant beasts were far stronger than the ones on land .

Thankfully, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ possessed the MCV so the s.h.i.+ Ying Squad could travel by sea . Of course, on their way, they encountered many fierce beasts, including a s.h.i.+ver of sharks - each of them at least twelve meters long . In other words, they were comparable to giant Monosaurus of the dinosaur era . Their steel-like teeth carried such an unbearable force that they could bite off chunks of hard reefs effortlessly .  

When they encountered the missile boat, the sharks chased after it . The sharks' dorsal fins resembled black blades, cutting through the ocean . Undeniably, those fins represented the Grim Reaper's scythe in that are they could even destroy wars.h.i.+ps .

For some time, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ struggled against his greed until he finally gave on the idea of fighting them . Although their mutant nuclei were attracting, he wasn't adept in aquatic battles . In case something went wrong, he wouldn't know how to deal with it . Therefore, he sped up, reaching 80 knots per hour and shaking the sharks off their tail . It was not difficult to get rid of the sharks, but Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was still shocked deep inside . After all, they were humongous beasts and coupled with their high speed, their intimidating aura was much more intense .  

"Ying, where are we?" asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .

After doomsday, GPS navigation was no longer possible, so sailing in the ocean was extremely dangerous . Just relying on the s.h.i.+p's compa.s.s to pinpoint their location in the ocean wouldn't give them accurate results .

In ancient times, as Zheng He was on his journey to explore the Western Ocean, he only dared to slowly sail along the coastline . In the era of great exploration, humans relied on star-steering, s.e.xtant, special nautical timepieces, and various other methods to determine the lat.i.tude and longitude .

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ didn't possess such ancient tools, and even if he did, he wouldn't know how to use them . Fortunately, Sta.r.s.eed had great a.n.a.lytical ability, and it was strong enough to enable the geomagnetic position system . According to the changes in geomagnetism, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could determine their general direction . Even if it wasn't as accurate as the GPS, it's enough to find an island .

"About 100 nautical miles away from the island," replied Ying while looking at the map .

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded . They were at the center of the Pacific Ocean, in which countless islands could be found . Even back when they had set off from Shen Hai Island, they had found many unknown islands . As a matter of fact, in the long history of human civilization, many islands had yet to be explored .  

The island, which they wanted to find, was the farthest in the Pacific Ocean . Its route was complicated and dangerous, so it was a barren land that human civilization could not radiate .

After a few hours…

"The reef area is just in front of us . Our radar has already detected it," said Ying . She was indeed a capable captain .

"Try your best to dodge," answered Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .

In fact, he had already seen Relic Island's outline . It seemed that it was about a few square kilometers big . The mountain on the island was covered with green vegetation .

According to Shen Kui, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ got to know that half a century ago, Genesis' team had discovered the lost civilization's relics in the unnamed mountain . The mountain was reinforced, but it was completely hollowed out, and a kilometer deep hole could be seen in the ground .

If the searching team had made its findings public, the whole world would be swept by a storm of shock . However, as the Cold War was still ongoing during that time, the relic's existence had remained a secret . Later, after further investigation, they uncovered many mysteries, but the more they discovered, the more shocking it was . Thus, Genesis chose to not disclose their findings .

At that time, only the most influential people in the world were privy to the relic's secrets . They were the ones who established the organization with the purpose of studying the remnant . It was Genesis' predecessor .

Unsurprisingly, doomsday's eruption was related to the relic . However, Genesis revealed parts of what they knew only half a month before the catastrophic event . It was too late for any preparations for humanity's survival . The influential figures could only requisition large-scale new buildings and hastily build safe areas . Shen Hai Island was built in that way .  

"We're reaching the beach . " Ying sailed the missile boat and carefully docked it next to an island reef .

Fortunately, Ran Xiyu had already activated her spiritual field, detecting almost everything on the island . The small island was only a few square kilometers in size so Ran Xiyu's mental energy could cover almost half of it .

"I didn't detect any mutant beasts on the island," said Ran Xiyu doubtfully . In her spiritual field, she could only see exotic birds with colorful feathers, crabs, and frogs! Due to the island's small size, the biggest animal was actually a wild boar .  

"This island can be regarded as the world's safe haven . Almost all of humanity and animals have been affected by the disaster, but this island was unaffected . It's truly ridiculous," said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ while shaking his head .

At this time, the MCV changed to its basic form, and then, Ying drove it into the island . Although there were no roads on the island, they didn't meet any difficulty in driving the tour bus . The tour bus obliterated everything in its path, directly heading to the mountain .

"Xiyu, did you find anyone in the mountain?" asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .

Although the relic was on the island, it was unlikely for anyone to live there . According to Shen Kui, after transferring almost everything of importance, they had sealed the island . Moreover, it was impossible to set Genesis' headquarters in such a barren land .

"I didn't detect anyone . But Brother Jiang, we should stay vigilant . If our opponent is stronger than me, they can easily conceal their presence," warned Ran Xiyu .

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded in agreement . "Oh, look! It's here . Shen Kui mentioned it's the entrance . " Jiang Lius.h.i.+ pointed at a huge stone filled with moss . In fact, Genesis had placed that stone there to hide the entrance .

Then, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ got off the tour bus and lifted the heavy stone swiftly . Behind the stone was an old, rusty metal door with a code panel next to it . Naturally, it was another of Genesis' measures to close off the relic's only entrance .
