Chapter 474: Chapter 334: Crossing the Ocean

"Is there really no... way?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.

"Currently, that’s indeed the case..." Fei Ye continued, "Both air and sea routes have been completely blockaded. With the transportation vehicles we currently possess, it’s utterly impossible to make it across such vast distances and reach Dragon Country with those obstacles in the way."

"I see..."

Xiao Yi thought to himself that the most important thing now, if he wanted to return to Dragon Country, was the vehicle. On land, even if a vehicle were damaged, there might still be a way to repair it promptly.

However, on water or in the air, there was no room for repair. Once a vehicle suffered damage, the only outcomes were sinking or crashing. That was the biggest problem with taking to the air or sea.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help feeling his luck was particularly bad. Why had he crashed on another continent, leaving him with no land route and only the option of sea or air?

"Ah... but both the surface and the skies are vulnerable to attack. This is troublesome... Huh?" Xiao Yi had just let out a sigh when something suddenly caught his attention.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but remember there was something amiss about what Fei Ye had just said, and he couldn’t resist asking her, "Fei Ye, when you said there’s currently no solution... Could it be... you already have an idea?"

"...You noticed, huh." Fei Ye gave a slight smile, "Yes, that’s right... Currently, we indeed lack any vehicle capable of reaching Dragon Country. However... since you, Xiao Yi, have a need, why not just build such a vehicle?"

"Oh! Build the vehicle!" Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yi also felt excited, "It’s just like you, never to sit idly by. So... the vehicle you mentioned, could it be like a super behemoth from sci-fi movies? Fully armed with high-powered weapons, to annihilate all the attacking monsters! Maybe even equipped with super cannons or, to be more direct, high...!"

"No... It’s not as exaggerated as that," Fei Ye said with some resignation, cutting in promptly, "Our resources are limited, we can only construct a vehicle specifically for scouting and moving. Killing monsters isn’t within our scope of consideration. After all, preliminary observations report that the number of abnormalities is in the hundreds of millions, an endless horde..."

"...Eh?" Upon hearing this, those around who were listening were all startled as if they had realized something. They hastily stood up and asked Fei Ye urgently, "Miss Fei Ye, are you talking about the one that’s under construction right now!?"

"...Yes." Fei Ye nodded, "That one... Without a doubt, the Tower above Dragon Country surely hides the secret to ending all this. So, whatever it takes... I must find a way to reach Dragon Country. Now that Xiao Yi is here, it’s precisely the time of need! Then... the construction of that ’thing’, we should speed it up."

Seeing Fei Ye nod, the others also showed relieved expressions and whispered among themselves,

"It’s no wonder Miss Fei Ye was so insistent on having that thing built against all objections—she had already accounted for this step."

"Yes, those of us who can only think about sneaking through life questioned it at the time. Looking back now, it seems ridiculous..."

Ignoring their discussion, Xiao Yi once again turned to Fei Ye and asked,

"So, what exactly is this vehicle you all are talking about? I’m the only one here who doesn’t know, and I can’t help but feel a tad left out..."

"No... it’s fine, I’ll tell you." Fei Ye then said, "Xiao Yi, actually... there are other routes we can take besides the sky and the sea."

"Other routes..." Xiao Yi thought for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed with excitement, "Are you saying we should go around through outer space? Does that mean... the vehicle that’s under construction is a Cosmic Warship!?"

"No... don’t let sci-fi movies get to your head. Think about the level of technology we have in reality. Didn’t I say anything that goes up in the sky would be shot down by the Tower’s long-range laser cannon?"

"The level of contemporary technology?" said Xiao Yi, "But I’ve heard that various Countries have been secretly developing high tech, including superpowers, especially your Country. I’ve heard you’ve had exchanges with Aliens and acquired some incredible technology, no?"

"Those conspiracy theories are outdated, and with the advancement of photography technology no one cares about them anymore. You need to update your knowledge base."

Fei Ye sighed with resignation, then asked Xiao Yi,

"So, Xiao Yi... you must know about the Titanic, right?"

"...Ah, yes, I know." Although Xiao Yi wasn’t well read, he at least watched movies, so he replied, "Of course I do. It’s that one-time use Submarine, right?"

"...Ah?" Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, everyone else was dumbfounded.

Was this... a bit too hellish?

However, Fei Ye actually nodded, answering, "Correct, the one-time use Submarine. The vehicle I’m creating is inspired by that one-time use Submarine. Now, Xiao Yi, you should understand, right? The route I mentioned, aside from the sky and the sea, is..."

"...I see." Xiao Yi nodded, "Underwater, huh."
