Chapter 814: Mysterious Island

"The child has grown up; it's hard to keep them under control!"

Lin Feng sighed after reading the plan drafted by Lin Eleven.

A typical family's child, at this age, still wants toys!

The Lin family's children have already grown weary of such play and are seeking more exciting things.

Given their abilities, trying to bind them and keep them at home to study is not a realistic option.

Qi Yao looked at the plan, first furrowing her brows slightly, but she relaxed them quickly.

A trace of helplessness appeared in her eyes.

"Do you feel a bit uneasy now that the child has grown up and no longer depends on you?"

Lin Feng asked Qi Yao.

Qi Yao shook her head.

"Another one?"

Lin Feng asked.

"No!"

Qi Yao still shook her head.

Lin Feng let out a helpless sigh.

Qi Yao said calmly, "A child can be unborn, but…"

At the same time.

A massive, dilapidated salvage ship was sailing across the boundless ocean.

Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang sat on a sofa, watching the weather outside, worry etched on their faces.

The forecast clearly called for sunny weather, yet this sea region was beset by raging storms.

However, satellite cloud images showed that in the area where the ship was sailing, the sky was completely cloudless.

How strange and bizarre!

The two exchanged a glance and looked toward the beautiful woman reading a book beside them, along with two little girls.

The woman wore glasses with golden rims, and her figure appeared rather curvy.

She seemed about twenty‑five or twenty‑six years old.

In the eyes of Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang, this beauty was truly a top‑notch specimen.

Yet a slight twisted thought in their minds involuntarily sparked a feeling of fear.

It wasn't that the woman herself was frightening, but the two little devils sitting beside her were terrifying.

And this woman was, in fact, their aunt.

She was also the renowned explorer Ms. Shu Jingya.

Both were explorers, yet the circles Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang moved in and Shu Jingya's circle were like two separate worlds.

Because the people of the Rat Gang pursued thrills purely for excitement while also ensuring their own safety.

Thus they generally stick to areas already explored by others.

But someone like Shu Jingya goes to places rarely trodden by humans, even locations untouched for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

That truly is a life‑or‑death adventure.

Sitting beside Shu Jingya were Lin Chang'e and Lin Jingru.

Their meeting with Shu Jingya was purely a coincidence.

Because investigating a sunken ship first requires locating its position; even if found, professional equipment and expertise are needed.

The specialization is so high that they had to consult professionals.

Thus, by chance, Shu Jingya accepted a contract.

After arriving on the ship, she encountered Lin Chang'e and Lin Jingru.

Seeing the two little girls, Shu Jingya realized that the job she was now contracted for was not that simple. Qianqian Moho

Regarding the wind and waves outside, Shu Jingya wasn't worried at all.

Because she had already become accustomed.

The outside wind and waves, compared to the many dangers she had endured, were merely child's play.

As for Lin Chang'e and Lin Jingru, they of course weren't scared either.

They thought, even if the ship sank, it's no big deal—we can just catch seafood in the water!

Moreover, Lin Eleven was piloting Jasmine No. 3, navigating the sea like a submarine, not far away, ready to assist them at any moment.

"This is the first time we've encountered such a strange incident,"

Unable to contain himself any longer, Dai Chengliang moved a chair and sat closer to Shu Jingya, laughing as he said.

Lin Chang'e and Lin Jingru weren't afraid of the ship sinking, but Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang were!

Because the Enhancement Agents they used were imperfect, falling into water allowed them to survive only a dozen minutes without breathing.

Beyond twenty minutes, they'd still suffocate; the body would enter a pseudo‑death state and hold on for a while longer.

If they fell into the sea with no rescue, not to mention whether they'd become fish food.

If they kept sinking with the ship, the immense water pressure would eventually kill them.

Moreover, the frightening part wasn't the wind and waves.

It was that the current situation was clearly a supernatural phenomenon.

It had only been heard of in legends before; they never expected to encounter it this time!

Shu Jingya was flipping through an illustrated adventure novel for Lin Chang'e and Lin Jingru to read.

She lifted her head and glanced at Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang, lightly saying: "Such situations are mostly caused by changes in Earth's magnetic field."

A strong magnetic field can cause changes in time and space; there's nothing strange about it.

Ah~

After Shu Jingya finished speaking, Dai Chengliang looked shocked.

Sun Dang also looked shocked and said: "That means we might not be in our original world now?"

Not bad!

Shu Jingya nodded.

At this moment, Lin Chang'e curiously asked: "Aunt Shu, have you ever encountered such strange things before?"

Shu Jingya nodded and said: "Of course! You see, novels have time travel, and everyone knows it's fictional, but I have truly time-traveled! It was just very brief, and only after reflecting later did I realize I had time-traveled."

For example, once I and a few teammates went to a canyon in Mi Guo, and after passing through a cave and coming out, we actually saw… dinosaurs!

Fossils?

Lin Jingru asked.

Shu Jingya shook her head and said: "Not fossils, but living dinosaurs!"

The dinosaurs in movies and TV now are not the same as what we saw! Some dinosaurs had fur…

Unfortunately, we only saw them for a short dozen seconds; after leaving that place, we later realized we might have time-traveled.

"Why not an illusion realm?"

Lin Jingru asked again.

Shu Jingya smiled and said: "Because the watches we wore, whether electronic or mechanical, had time issues—they ran slow by several seconds compared to normal time…"

While Shu Jingya was saying these things, Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang also looked lost in thought.

They had never heard of such things before.

"Aunt Shu, any more strange things?"

Lin Chang'e asked curiously again.

Shu Jingya smiled and said: "There are many more terrifying things—have you ever seen ghosts? Have you ever seen hell?"

"No, no!"

Lin Jingru nervously shook her head.

Shu Jingya said: "I have seen them; it was several years ago during an expedition when I and four teammates climbed a snow mountain and encountered an avalanche…"

As Shu Jingya described, Lin Chang'e, Lin Jingru, Dai Chengliang, and Sun Dang all listened, entranced.

Suddenly…

"Dong dong dong~"

A knocking sound rang out.

Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang were startled badly.

The cabin door opened, and a big-bearded man walked in.

"Everyone, an island has appeared ahead."

The big-bearded man furrowed his brows, his expression solemn as he spoke.

"That's not right!"

Dai Chengliang shook his head and said: "There's no island in these waters at all."

The big-bearded man said: "If you don't believe me, come out and see for yourself right away!"

Having said that, he turned and left, simultaneously closing the cabin door.

Shu Jingya put down her book, pulled Lin Chang'e and Lin Jingru out of the cabin.

Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang immediately followed them out.

Upon reaching the outer deck, Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang discovered that the wind and waves had stopped.

The ship's deck was already crowded with people, about a hundred or more.

Americans, Japanese, Germans, Han Country Persons, Indians… people from all Guo Jia are present, the crowd is very mixed.

At this moment, everyone was looking ahead at a huge island.
