Chapter 109: Chapter 100 Hmm? Where did that big rock go?

7:00 AM.

On the eastern horizon, the Sun had already taken over from the stars. At this time, the seaside was tranquil, with only the breeze lightly brushing the surface of the sea, emitting faint whispers.

The rhythmic surging of the seawater created layers and waves, from distant to near, from weak to strong, like a solemn yet vigorous dancer performing between the sky and the sea.

Wave after wave crashed toward the shoreline, the morning tide.

A deep and rhythmic engine roar sounded, accompanied by the gentle collision of the hull with the water waves.

A patrol boat was patrolling not far from the coast.

There were two police officers on the patrol boat, scanning the sea for anything unusual.

As officers specifically responsible for coastal patrol, their daily routine involved patrolling once at 7 AM and again at 7 PM, with the occasional surprise inspection as per leadership’s requests, covering approximately 50 kilometers of coastline.

As for the rest of the coastline, other teams were responsible.

Their main duties were to check for any distressed individuals and any outsiders attempting to land on the nearby coast.

This job was not complicated, at least not for the two officers on the patrol boat at the moment.

This was partly due to their familiarity with the task.

And partly because accidents were really not likely to occur near this coast.

Here, the winds and waves were often strong during high and low tides.

While making fishing difficult, the shoreline was covered with boulders and hidden reefs with no built docks or mooring conditions.

Close to the coast, it was all gravel and sand with no accessible roads.

Thus, illegal fishing and smuggling crimes were virtually impossible in this area.

Their patrol boat mentioned nearing the coast, but in reality, they kept a distance of about 50 to 100 meters to avoid the hidden reefs.

Apart from the one driving the boat.

The other officer was on the side, holding a telescope, roughly surveying the coast.

"Wait, wait! Stop for a moment."

The young officer with the telescope suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, the other officer immediately maneuvered the boat.

However, their small patrol boat didn’t have an anchor, so stopping on the water surface due to inertia wasn’t quick.

Thus, the pilot chose to make a large circle while slowing down the speed. Eventually, he stopped the engine, letting the boat drift with the waves.

The officer with the telescope continued to gaze far into the anomaly he had just noticed.

"What’s up? Did you find something?"

The pilot asked, his face showing a mix of surprise and relief.

They rarely encountered people; could it be that some fools trying to smuggle goods had landed here?

Wouldn’t that be just delivering credentials for a third-class merit?

"I didn’t find a person... but I remember there used to be a sizable rock over there."

The officer with the telescope furrowed his brow and scrutinized further.

His gaze was directed toward a sudden gap among the continuous stretch of massive rocks, which, at first glance, seemed rather abrupt.

Or should it be said... quite abrupt?

"You must have remembered it wrong, right? Our responsible coastline stretches for fifty kilometers, how many tens of thousands of large rocks are there?"

"And even if there used to be a large rock here, it is normal for it to have finally succumbed to the perennial wave erosion and got washed away by the sea."

The pilot slightly raised his voice, overcoming the sound of the overlapping waves.

The officer holding the telescope contemplated briefly and then nodded in agreement.

That made sense.

Indeed, he must have remembered it wrong; besides, a slight change in the terrain by the waves was nothing unusual.

While pondering.

The small patrol boat started again, continuing forward along the coastline.

They had no thoughts of mobilizing more resources to investigate; it wasn’t necessary, and indeed, it would be somewhat troublesome.

If they needed to find all the real-time maps of the coastline, those would be from how many years ago, and it was too normal to find a stone missing compared to them, drastic terrain changes were completely unsurprising.

And if they planned to check the satellite images from a few days earlier, the most recent ones, it would indeed be making a mountain out of a molehill and a waste of resources.

The two coast guards didn’t have such authority.

Nor was there a need to make such a fuss just because a rock had disappeared.

Thus, as the patrol boat drifted away, no one knew what had happened here last night.

Except for the accomplices of those two men, who came here to handle the "waste" last night and were shot by Chen Yun.

...

7:00 AM.

Qixi City, Binhai Town.

Inside a small clinic with closed doors and drawn curtains, two men sat facing each other.

In the darkness, only the flickering glow of cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table lit up; the only sound was their heavy breathing.

No one spoke for a long time.

Both seemed anxiously pondering something.

After one of the men extinguished another cigarette in the ashtray, he slowly said, "Old Third and Old Fourth still haven’t come back; it’s already more than an hour past the usual time."

"I can’t reach them on their phones."

His fingers were rough and calloused, his voice exceptionally hoarse.

Filled with urgency.

"I know."

The person opposite responded, his voice a bit clearer, he gently exhaled a puff of smoke after speaking as if he was not in a hurry at all.

—"Boss, do you think they might have?"

The man with calloused fingers gestured a phone call with his hand next to his ear.

Clearly, he suspected that the two had directly called the police.

"No way, at least Old Third definitely wouldn’t."

"Besides, if they really had called the police, we wouldn’t still be fine now."

While speaking, the man referred to as the boss snuffed out his cigarette in the ashtray with slender fingers.

"Ah, it’s killing me."

"Boss, just tell us what to do."

The muscular man with rough fingers suddenly stood up, gazing intently at the man in the white lab coat in front of him.

If they got caught, it would at least be a life sentence. After all, kidnapping homeless people for forced organ trade was no petty crime.

"Pack up and run."

The man in the white lab coat slowly stood up, his words concise and to the point.

Who needs to figure everything out?

If someone doesn’t return at the scheduled time, there’s definitely a problem, and he did not want to figure out the specifics.

Their relationship wasn’t that deep either.

In any case, of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is the best.

Run, and that’s it!

To survive in their line, it depended on being cautious and running fast.

That he hadn’t run even though it was more than an hour late was already bold enough.

"Boss, where exactly do we go?"

The man, with hands full of calluses, rubbed his hands together, seeking the boss’s opinion.

"Runzhou City or Guangling City, I still have some acquaintances in those areas."

"Let’s first settle down there."

The boss mused for a moment before speaking.

No matter what happened to Old Third and Old Fourth, it was always right to get out of the limelight.

···························

Eight o’clock in the morning.

Chen Yun’s door was knocked on.

After coming back, he took a shower to wash off the salt, and had just been sitting with closed eyes, working on adapting as much as possible to the chaotic feeling of electromagnetic waves in his mind.

After coming back at dawn,

He closed his eyes to adapt as best he could to the stress caused by the erratic movements of various electromagnetic waves.

Though releasing a few thermal sights afterward successfully helped him adapt somewhat to the pressure of the erratic electromagnetic waves,

The sensation of an increase in the number of electromagnetic waves grew more acute near the beach hotel.

Chen Yun’s electromagnetic wave perception ability, which overlapped significantly with the frequency bands of human radio communications, just blocked part of the spectrum.

After several hours of adaptation,

He could finally ignore the relentless junk information from the electromagnetic waves.

He was basically used to the piercing noise now.

Thinking,

Chen Yun used his Transparent World Perception to see that it was Bai Shi and two others knocking from outside the room.

He opened the door.

Bai Shi was about to say something but paused, staring into Chen Yun’s eyes: "Are you wearing colored contact lenses?"

Chen Yun’s brownish-red eyes were quite eye-catching – such a color was rarely seen in the country.

"Hmm."

Chen Yun chuckled, not bothering to explain much.

Others would just think he was wearing colored contact lenses, and there was nothing much to explain.

Wearing contact lenses wasn’t illegal after all.

"Wow, Mister Gambling God, your eyes... so beautiful!"

Sun Huwen couldn’t help but gape, murmuring as she stared at Chen Yun’s eyes.

Even the usually calm Jiang Anping couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Chen Yun, then seriously nodded and said, "Cool!"

Chen Yun nodded.

Cool? Of course, it was cool!

How could eyes that could shoot out beams of 1500 degrees Celsius not be cool?

They were absolutely thrilling!

"Let’s go, have breakfast and then spend another day playing on the beach."

Bai Shi said, no longer focusing on the trivial matter of Chen Yun wearing contact lenses.

Hearing this, Chen Yun didn’t say much and followed them to the restaurant.

In the morning, the restaurant offered a limited menu.

Fortunately, after looking around, Chen Yun found the sea snake meat soup he had the night before. The taste wasn’t as good as Black Rat Snake, but it was still within the range that could stimulate Chen Yun’s appetite.

So Chen Yun took some in his bowl and then sat down by the window.

Sun Huwen and Jiang Anping had already grabbed their food and were earnestly nibbling away.

Bai Shi, however, seemed to still be wandering around.

Chen Yun didn’t pay him much attention, focusing instead on the distinct taste of the sea snake meat.

It wasn’t long before he saw Bai Shi, his face full of shock, carrying a cup filled with something unknown, hurrying back.

Chen Yun, looking at the white powder strewn over the transparent, viscous, off-white liquid in Bai Shi’s bowl, immediately understood why Bai Shi looked so shocked.

"Mixing hydrangea powder into the prepared lotus root starch? Do you guys realize what this means?"

Bai Shi put down the dessert he was carrying and started jokingly complaining.

Everyone knows,

Once lotus root starch is prepared, it becomes a viscous liquid, and the scent of hydrangea resembles certain things closely.

So the thing Bai Shi brought over.

Successfully made Sun Huwen and Chen Yun roll their eyes and then fall silent.

Even Jiang Anping paused in his eating, suddenly stuck like he’d hit a glitch.

Bai Shi’s comment silenced three people.

After a long while, Chen Yun called a waiter to remove the lotus root starch, dissipating the tense atmosphere.

Watching Sun Huwen reprimanding Bai Shi with light taps,

Chen Yun spoke, "You guys go have fun today, I’ve got a bit of a headache, and I’ll rest in the hotel."

He still had some things to do, and couldn’t afford to go out and play today.

Having just completed a slumber evolution, he needed to conduct tests and summaries on his recent changes and consider a new phase of planning.

His eyes sore, the further study of thermal sight had to be postponed, but there were still other tests and conclusions to be made.

He used his headache as an excuse also because he used to suffer from frequent headaches, which Bai Shi was aware of.

Though his body had changed and didn’t have that problem anymore, Bai Shi obviously didn’t know.

His half-truth successfully deceived him.

"Then you take a good rest."

Bai Shi nodded seriously at Chen Yun.

Sun Huwen and Jiang Anping, too, expressed their concern with a few words.
