Chapter 507: Chapter 313: This is, Heavenly Punishment!_2

He looked out the window at the boundless ocean, silently contemplating his next move.

For him, this was not just a simple voyage, but a crucial moment to change his destiny.

Because if he truly wanted to advance, at the very least, there could be no issues this time.

He began to issue orders to ensure that the ship followed the predetermined route and that all equipment was in optimal condition.

After the Captain issued a series of commands, the crew quickly responded, with everyone returning to their stations.

Even though most were in a relaxed and pleasant mood, the atmosphere on the ship gradually became more serious as the Captain’s demeanor changed.

The Captain once again confirmed that all equipment had been properly adjusted and personally inspected key instruments such as the radar and sonar to ensure everything was functioning normally.

He knew that although the mission was as simple as salvaging a target,

it was imperative that everything remained under control to avoid any accidents.

As time passed, the Sun began to slowly set, and the sky gradually turned a shade of orange-red.

The light over the sea became softer, and everything seemed even more tranquil.

However, beneath this calm lay a storm that was about to arrive.

No one was aware of this hidden storm.

The Captain ordered the navigation lights to be turned on and asked the watchman to be extra vigilant in case they encountered any unforeseen situations.

He stood in the cockpit, gazing at the sea ahead, feeling both excited and nervous.

The success of this mission would be an important turning point in his career.

The Captain knew that despite the ship’s advanced technology, the ocean was always full of unknowns and variables.

Even the most powerful vessel was insignificant in the face of Mother Nature.

Even after consulting a series of weather-related reports before leaving, there was no guarantee of their accuracy.

He reminded himself not to be complacent while silently calculating the time required to reach the designated area.

As the ship neared the target area, the Captain became even more cautious.

He ordered a reduction in speed to ensure the target could be located accurately and without mistakes.

After the large vessel slowly entered the area, the crew members busied themselves preparing to start the operation.

The Captain issued instructions from the cockpit, technicians operated the detection equipment, and ordinary crew members were busy checking nets and other fishing tools.

However, just as they thought everything was under control,

an unexpected situation suddenly emerged...

As is well-known,

there are many causes for the formation of tsunamis.

But no matter the cause, tsunamis propagate continuously at sea and do not suddenly appear as huge waves right before one’s eyes.

At the very least, they should emerge on the distant horizon and then spread closer.

Not suddenly rise right in front of you.

But just a second ago, the sea had been calm.

The next second, though, a massive tsunami loomed, blocking out the sky.

The Captain and the crew were stunned; they could not comprehend how such a thing could happen before their eyes.

The sea’s surface suddenly became eerily calm, as if all its strength had been drained away.

Then the next second,

it wasn’t a long black line that appeared on the distant horizon.

It was the water not far in front of them.

Like it was controlled by some force, it grew out of nowhere, rising higher and higher.

The wave surged with inconceivable speed,

almost like a mountain peak, unbelievable.

It was no longer an ordinary wave, but rather a massive barrier formed by the ocean water, like the embodiment of nature’s wrath.

The wave towered far above everything around, even higher than many times the ship’s mast.

The color of the wave was dark and murky, as if it contained all the secrets of the ocean’s depths.

At the top of the wave, the water churned into white foam, like huge clouds floating on the deep blue sea.

The Sun shone through the edges of the foam, refracting a dazzling light, but this light did nothing to mask the sense of impending disaster.

As the wave continued to rise, it formed an almost vertical wall of water as if a tower had suddenly risen from the sea’s surface.

The edges of this water wall were sharply defined, and the crests looked sharp as if they could pour down at any moment.

Swallowing everything!

And the most terrifying thing was,

the giant wave was not only in front of them.

To the left, right, and behind, waves also surrounded them.

It was as if nature itself was targeting them.

There was no room for turning around or escaping.

The next moment, the wave shook and inclined downwards.

The apocalyptic momentum made everyone feel like they were nothing more than insignificant leaves in a pond.

Or perhaps that was an understatement.

Despair filled everyone’s faces.

The Captain wanted to issue an emergency command, but it seemed like saying anything was futile.

The desperate crew members tried to act quickly.

They swiftly adjusted the ship’s course, trying to face the bow towards the waves, perhaps to lessen the impact of the tsunami on the ship.

But this was a futile effort.

There were giant waves spilling from every direction, making it impossible to face them with just the bow.

Moreover, with the wave’s height nearing a kilometer,

no maneuvering could withstand the force coming from the opposing direction.

There are no definitive records of a kilometer-high tsunami in history. The tallest known tsunami waves occurred under specific conditions, such as the 1958 tsunami in Lituya Bay, Alaska, United States, which reached an approximate height of 524 meters, the highest recorded tsunami to date.
