The Beauty of Light on Earth

Chapter 12 The Storm is Coming

Tri-curve wing building in Washington DC, USA

The lights were brighter than before. Deputy Director Hill, Agent Hill, quickly walked through various complicated security doors with a piece of paper. In the past few weeks, he had been to the hub to command and formulate combat strategies and issue various action orders. Today, he finally had a preliminary As a result, he rushed back to Sanquyi to give a work report to Director Furui.please()

"Come in." Fury, who had been waiting in the director's office for a while, motioned for Hill to sit down. "Let's talk about the key points."

"Reporting to the Director, since the implementation of 'Project Innsmouth', S.H.I.E.L.D. has discovered a total of 119 suspected targets around the world as of today, and it has confirmed that 112 of them are deep dive invasion incidents; in addition, Penny, the person involved in the first suspected incident? Liang, was confirmed to have been a deep dive gene carrier, but has been completely cured by Lucian Ahir." Hill read out the key points of the report quickly and concisely.

"Any news from Arkham Asylum?"

After opening the file and briefly browsing it, Hill continued: "According to the report of Harleen Quinzel, the attending psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum, all confirmed abnormal patients showed various symptoms such as madness, obsession, and self-destruction. An extremely abnormal state of mind that has no research value at all; the only thing they have in common is that they constantly write some letters that make no sense on books, walls, and bed boards or draw some irregular geometric line patterns, well..." After taking a look at the words in the report, he continued with a positive tone.

"Also, they all think that they have no mental problems, and that the problems are caused by the staff of the lunatic asylum and the psychiatrists..."

Seeing that Hill seemed to be hesitant to speak, Fury signaled to continue, "Sir, I have a copy of the intelligence sent by the East Branch a few days ago. During the large-scale investigation, the agents discovered in Usa, Egypt This happened more than 80 years ago when an old farmer and his wife died unexpectedly in the town. The specific cause of death was unknown. The East Branch insisted that this was an unusual incident and needed to be reported."

"Is there any basis for it?"

"Based on this, the Eastern Branch believes that the situation in Egypt has not been very stable for many years, and the central government's control capabilities are weak. Especially in rural areas, various laws and regulations are basically equivalent to guns in the hands of local residents. However, there is a law in Usa that has been in effect for more than 80 years. No one dares to violate the rules." Hilton paused and emphasized, "No one can kill a cat in Usa."

Perhaps because there has been too much bad news lately, Director Fury was noncommittal on the matter, "Save the normal process, where is Lucian?"

"According to satellite positioning, we have just crossed the South China Sea of ​​China and are about to enter the Dragon Triangle, sir!"

...

...

The quarrels on the Endurance have been repeated countless times, and none of them have been as intense as now.

"What makes you think I don't take this expedition seriously, Laura? Not only are Samantha's family and Lucian's association giving us financial assistance, I'm also investing my life savings!"

"This is something we all take on at our own risk. We're not going to have endless funding, Whitman."

"That's right, that's why we should go east instead of west."

"Who would believe...who would believe...no one believes that Yamatai is so far east, and these books were not written!"

……

"That's enough!" Ross punched the table.

"Reyes is right, we have no money to squander, we must seize this opportunity. Laura has already put forward a new view and plan. I am the captain of this ship, and I have the final say. Let's go to the Dragon Triangle go ahead."

"Does anyone here take me seriously?" Whitman's angry shouting did not win everyone's sympathy, and he returned to the rest cabin alone.Silently watching Laura and Ross making plans for their future voyage.

Regarding this quarrel, Lucian never said a word from beginning to end. To be precise, after the fish soup, Lucian returned to the reclusive life of the Endurance. The only difference was that Lucian never got seasick again. Everyone said goodbye, Lucian walked on the deck, looking at the setting sun and the dark cloud-covered horizon in the distance, his body and mind were filled with holy light.

...

...

The heavy rain with thunder and lightning beat against the portholes of the rest cabin. The Endurance had already given up power and was like a paper boat, floating freely in the violent wind and rain. The lightning surged outside the dark cabin until lightning and thunder, making the rest cabin completely bright. Like daytime, Lucian was seen standing motionless in the cabin with his eyes closed. No matter how the Endurance swayed, Lucian's feet were firmly fixed on the floor like lead weights, and his whole body remained motionless.

I don’t know how long the storm lasted, but the Endurance, which had been fighting the hurricane all night, finally reached its limit, and the hull was broken at the waist! , the howl of twisted and broken steel mixed with the roar of the sea and sky was like the weak cry of a resentful woman in the palace.Another flash of lightning lit up the entire night sky, and Lucian's eyes, which had been closed all night, slowly opened with a weak cry.

A single strike blasted open the cabin door, and seawater poured into the cabin. There were no shouts or calls for help, just endless thunderstorms and torrential rain. The only thing on the ship that was still shining tenaciously was the safety light, telling the insignificance of human beings.On the violently shaking deck, Lucian ran towards the other people's rest cabins. He "just made it" and saw Laura already swimming and struggling behind the closed hatch. Lucien hurried forward and opened the hatch. Duan pulled Laura out of the water and helped her rush to the deck. The rough waves continued to hit the hull of the ship. At this moment, Lucian, who was supporting Laura, accelerated his pace a bit.

Just as they arrived on the deck, they saw Jonah and Reyes starting the lifeboat. Alex on the side was taking care of Dr. Whitman, who had fallen into a coma. The Endurance had been completely broken into two parts, and Ross was at the break at the bow. The captain stood there anxiously.

At this time, Laura had somewhat recovered. She kept coughing due to the stimulation of the sea water. Perhaps it was an instinctive reaction. The moment she saw Ross, Laura used all her strength to sprint towards the broken bow of the ship, and then jumped Get up!Lucien could only follow to the gap at the stern of the ship. Seeing that there was already a gap of four or five meters, he sighed inwardly, they were all equally tough...

The accident happened suddenly. Under Ross's horrified eyes, Laura slipped into the water. Standing on the bow of the boat, Ross felt that his hands could hardly hold on to the guardrail of the boat. The downpour moistened his eyes... It took a while, but it didn't take long. La Zai was still in the air and his body had not completely fallen into the sea. A figure had already fallen into the sea first. Lucian, who had just been standing at the stern of the ship, had disappeared... Boom!A huge wave waiting for the boat to break through covered everything...

...

Under the water, Lucian swam quickly behind Laura, hooked his neck with his backhand and lifted him out of the water. He quickly rushed to the beach on the shore, knelt down on one leg, and performed simple abdominal drainage first aid.

Until he heard Laura coughing continuously, patting her back and saying, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone is safely ashore." Jonah Reyes and his group, who were the first to land in the distance, lit a bonfire and searched anxiously. The rest of the crew.

At the same time, he noticed the strange movement behind him. Lucian gently put down Laura and stepped back in the abnormal direction. Under the cover of the heavy rain, he saw a flash of force field from Lucian. The black shadow was bounced up. Lucian immediately turned around and made a dark hand. Speech: Pain. At the same time, he attached a psychic bomb and shot out three void arrows. In the distance, a worn-out backpack fell heavily on the beach where the rain was pouring... Are there any scavengers on the deserted island?There were many, but not including the one who was killed by a boulder.
