Chapter 188: A Discussion About the Tsunami!

~7 min read 1,304 words

Beyond the sea area itself, other additional conditions have also brought the difficulty of this "Water Spirit" challenge to a hellish level!

As one of the most destructive disasters in human history.

The power of a tsunami has always been something not to be underestimated.

Even a level -1 tsunami would have a huge impact on the surrounding marine environment!

Terrifying storms, earth-shattering giant waves, and all kinds of whirlpool traps...

Under these circumstances, starting the challenge, a moment of carelessness and there will be no return!

Just now, the system had already given relevant clear indications in the mission details.

This tsunami is not an ordinary tsunami.

It is the largest-scale tsunami of this century!

If Chu Chen remembers correctly, the largest-scale tsunami in the last century should be the one that occurred in the southern waters of Chile in 1960.

At that time, the wave speed of the tsunami quickly exceeded 800 kilometers per hour!

It took less than half a day to cross the entire Pacific Ocean!

The number of countries cumulatively impacted by the tsunami reached more than ten!

According to meteorological satellite monitoring by relevant countries, the largest wave formed by that tsunami reached over 70 meters in height, causing hundreds of people to perish and thousands to be displaced!

Its influence has not completely disappeared even today, and it is still talked about with relish.

Decades pass in the snap of a finger.

Now, the terrifying disaster is making a comeback.

In fact, as early as when Chu Chen received this mission, many countries on both the east and west coasts of the Atlantic Ocean had issued tsunami warnings.

But because technology is limited, many countries did not clearly specify the level of the tsunami when reporting this warning, only saying it might be above level 4; exactly what level it is, is still unknown.

However, for the sake of safety, many countries have already begun to organize coastal residents to evacuate inland.

In the last few days, this matter has frequently appeared on the hot searches of major social media, triggering intense discussions among people of all countries!

If it weren't for Chu Chen blocking the way in front, this hot search might have been number one on the hot search list long ago!

Just click on any relevant topic, and you can see hundreds of millions of comments frantically refreshing in the comment section:

【It is said that in order to deal with this tsunami, residents of the south coast of Florida in the United States are evacuating inland. Is it true or false?】

【Didn't the experts say there's nothing to worry about? Isn't it just a level 4 tsunami? Why make it look like the end of the world?】

【Just listen to the words of those "brick" experts, you don't actually believe them, do you?】

【That place, the Bermuda Triangle, is really evil! It's either mysterious incidents or tsunamis, it's too damn dangerous!】

【Yeah! I heard that planes and ships often go missing there, and you can't even find a wreck!】

【Everyone, just got news, France has also started to evacuate here. I guess things have already become serious!】

【Is it true or false? I haven't read much, don't lie to me!】

【Not lying to you, buddy, I'm in France right now!】

Through these netizens' comments, it can be seen that everyone's attention to this matter is quite high.

But right now, they do not know that Chu Chen will go on to face this highly destructive disaster alone!

……

……

……

At the same time!

Arabian Peninsula, Saudi Arabia, Riyadh!

As the most world-renowned international metropolis in the entire Middle East, looking at the entire Arabian Peninsula, there is no city that can compare to it!

More than a hundred years ago, before oil reserves were discovered, this was just an obscure little desert city!

Dilapidated, cramped, with only endless sand and poverty filling the space.

If not for oil, perhaps until now, no one would know of its existence.

But after more than a hundred years of development, it has become a veritable garden city, and its level of economic development is among the best in the world, dominating the peninsula alone.

At this moment, in the city center of Riyadh, in front of the Kingdom Centre, people are coming and going, and gold is everywhere!

The Kingdom Centre is a landmark building in Riyadh, its fame no less than the Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai.

The entire building is over 300 meters tall.

The main body was designed by an American designer according to local climatic conditions.

Right now, inside an office on the top floor of the Kingdom Centre.

A young man with a white cloth wrapped around his head and a face full of whiskers is standing in front of the office's huge floor-to-ceiling window.

His right hand is gripping a gleaming Bowie Knife.

Standing on his left arm is a huge Gyrfalcon.

The Gyrfalcon has white fur and black feathers, its eyes are very sharp, and at a glance, it is not a common creature.

In front of the man is a cart made of pure 24K gold.

On the cart are many gold trays, and in the trays are various kinds of chicken, duck, and various raw meats of unknown animals.

Unsurprisingly, this meat should be the food prepared by this young man wrapped in white cloth for that Gyrfalcon.

The next second, the door in the office was suddenly knocked: "Dong dong dong!"

Following that, a middle-aged man in a suit walked in.

When he came in, the man in the white cloth didn't even look at him, his entire gaze still on that Gyrfalcon.

"Alwa, all the ships are ready, when are we departing?"

The young man called Alwa looked at the middle-aged man, then said: "What about that last batch of goods?"

"They are all in the hold. As long as you give the order, they will sail out of the Red Sea immediately. How about it?"

Alwa did not answer immediately, but instead raised his hand and brought down his knife, slicing off a piece of raw meat to feed the gyrfalcon perched on his left arm, before finally turning his gaze toward the middle-aged man: "What about the people from Blackwater?"

"The same old rules; once they are out of the Red Sea, they will take over."

Hearing this, Alwa let out a long breath, put down the knife in his hand, and said: "This is the last job. Make sure there are absolutely no slip-ups. If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences..."

"Rest assured, I haven't been running this route for just a day or two; there definitely won't be any trouble. As long as nothing goes wrong on your end, no one will be able to trace anything back to me," the middle-aged man replied.

"Whoosh!"

The moment Alwa lowered his left arm, the gyrfalcon that had been perched on it instantly flapped its wings and flew away.

Watching it fly into the iron cage, Alwa turned his head and spoke to the middle-aged man once more:

"The export accounts for Saudi Aramco from last quarter were handled by Hamad, so there shouldn't be any issues, but the Ministry of Interior has been quite restless lately. Just last week, Abdullah arrested over a dozen members of the royal family, including people from the side of old Salman. Anyone can see clearly what they are trying to do..."

"I don't care about your royal family's business; even if the throne changes hands tomorrow, it has nothing to do with me. Alwa, don't forget our original agreement: you provide the oil, I provide the ships. We have only one goal, and as for the rest, don't you dare drag me into it..."
