Chapter 1628 - 1627: Calm and Collected
"Don’t need to follow too closely, right? They’ve been walking for a few hours, but I can spot them from the sky at any time!" said Long Xiaoyu.
Ling Feng nodded: "That’s true, but I’m really curious about what they’re carrying on those large trucks. It’s something that made Peter ignore the sinking warship and rush to get them ashore!"
"What? The warship sank?" Mu Yuhan asked, her eyes widening.
Ling Feng glanced at her, smiled, and nodded: "Yeah, it was me who did it!"
"Uh, Ling Feng, how did you do that?"
Mu Yuhan was a bit confused; she hadn’t even seen the warship, and now it was at the seabed? She hadn’t heard any explosion either?
Seeing her face full of admiration and curiosity, Ling Feng chuckled: "It’s easy. My methods are hardly comparable to ordinary people."
"Alright, stop bragging over there!"
Long Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at him and continued, "You seem eager, let’s pack up and head out!"
"Alright!"
Ling Feng nodded as he packed up his things and explained the reason to Mu Yuhan.
After hearing the explanation, Mu Yuhan was still a bit bewildered, and said somewhat dumbly: "That’s too amazing. Just some fruit can sink a warship?"
"It was just their bad luck to sail the ship into the glacier. If they were in the outer sea, it would have been difficult even with the Five Elements Fruit!" Ling Feng laughed.
They packed up amidst jokes and left the Ice Cave, looking at the icebreaker ship a few kilometers away.
Over there was still in a state of chaos, with many soldiers from the warship stranded on the ice, only a few boarded the icebreaker via the gangway.
Ling Feng wasn’t bothered to look at those people. The Americans were concerned about their fate, not him, so he quickly left with Long Xiaoyu and Mu Yuhan.
Although the sun hadn’t set, the sky was dimming, and since the three were clad in snow-white clothing, the people on the distant icebreaker didn’t notice them.
After they left, Long Xiaoyu carried Mu Yuhan, and the three quickly caught up with those trucks.
Watching the trucks speeding on the ice field, Mu Yuhan said: "So many trucks, carrying so much cargo, I think I know what it is!"
"Oh? What is it?" Ling Feng quickly asked.
"Drilling rigs!"
Mu Yuhan said a word and continued, "They want to break the ice layer and enter the surface of Antarctic Continent!"
"Quite ambitious!"
Ling Feng widened his eyes: "We just want to gather some data, and they’ve already started acting?"
"Seems so, maybe the Americans have more information!" Mu Yuhan nodded.
The few trucks moved forward at a speed of twenty or thirty mph, so following them wasn’t difficult.
Ling Feng ensured not to be discovered, staying a few hundred meters behind, trailing far behind them.
The opposite convoy probably wouldn’t go far since the warship had been transported here, indicating they were near their destination.
Sure enough, just like Ling Feng’s prediction, the convoy stopped on a very expansive flat ground after driving dozens of kilometers on the ice plain.
Watching the trucks stop and the workers beginning to unload the cargo, Ling Feng and Long Xiaoyu halted their steps.
They were just five hundred meters from the convoy now, their Divine Sense was enough to observe every detail, so Ling Feng decided to stay here.
He looked around at the surroundings and this time didn’t take out Five Elements Fruit but directly started digging with the God Slayer Saber.
It was easy for him and Long Xiaoyu, but Mu Yuhan definitely needed a comfortable environment. After all, she was just an ordinary person!
So Ling Feng and Long Xiaoyu worked together and soon carved out an entrance on the ice where one person could enter.
Once inside the ice layer, they expanded the space.
While working, Ling Feng kept using his Divine Sense to watch the distant convoy. Because they were outdoors, those people were fully equipped with cold protection gear like hats, goggles, and masks, making it hard to see their faces.
However, based on the clothes, he still managed to track down Peter’s whereabouts.
This guy must be well punished after the task ends; he can’t be allowed to get away.
After busying for over an hour, a bigger ice space than the previous Ice Cave was dug out.
It was expanded mainly to facilitate Mu Yuhan’s work.
The Americans had started work here; she was busy doing her part too.
Ling Feng took out Mu Yuhan’s brought mountaineering bag, and she pulled out some equipment from it, placing it on the ground.
Looking up to see Ling Feng and Long Xiaoyu watching her, Mu Yuhan smiled: "You guys don’t have to stare at me like that. The upcoming work might take time and be pretty boring!"
"We aren’t busy anyway, but if you’re feeling awkward, we can stop watching!"
Ling Feng smiled and then turned around and walked out.
Long Xiaoyu, however, didn’t move, lying directly on the pad and sleeping bag: "You’re busy with work, I’ll get some sleep!"
Ling Feng went outside, took out his phone, and snapped a picture towards the working site, then sent it out via satellite phone.
Within just two minutes, Han Wancheng called back.
With a chuckle, Ling Feng answered the call, asking: "Boss, you aren’t asleep?"
"Do you think I can sleep at such a time?"
Han Wancheng said and immediately asked: "How’s it going?"
"The Americans have started, Mu Yuhan’s also begun her task, but the opposing prep was better, they even brought drilling equipment, seems they’re going straight underground!" Ling Feng replied.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Han Wancheng frowned directly!
After pondering for a moment, he said: "So what do you intend to do?"
"Initially, I intended to sabotage their equipment, but now since they’ve sent someone ahead, why not wait? Once the ice layer is dug through, I’ll just follow in!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Very well, but remember to stay safe. Folks from other nations seem to be headed there too, you’ll soon spot them!" Han Wancheng advised.
"Understood, I’ll be careful!"
Ling Feng nodded and hung up the phone.
On the opposite ice surface, Peter’s team had begun their work. Knowing this isn’t a short-term job, he lazily returned to the subterranean ice layer.
Mu Yuhan still used instruments to collect signals, Long Xiaoyu already asleep, Ling Feng saw and lay beside her, closing his eyes.
How many hours they slept was unknown, a loud rumbling woke Ling Feng from his slumber.
Listening closely, he realized it was the noise from a helicopter’s rotor!
