The Great Worm Lich
/ The Great Worm Lich 152 Sailing Out to the Sea
"Major, aren't the Hickam Air Force Base and Kaneohe Bay Hawaii Marine Corps Base already helping you to deal with those invaders…"
"Sir, the problem doesn't lie on the strength of the troops but the fact that the soldiers don't understand who they're dealing with. Not only that, the commanding officer cannot specify the correct combat tactic too. Everyone would go dumbstruck when they see those supernatural beings leap up more than ten meters high like a human flea, and this will cause unnecessary casualties. On the other hand, soldiers who have already exchanged fire with these supernatural beings are being summoned back to the camp. This is so absurd that it's inconceivable…"
"There's nothing absurd about this. Everything is carried out according to the procedure. Major, you should know that the troops that have not been incorporated into the 'Shrimp World No. 1' combat operations should not know about the existence of the supernatural realm beforehand. This order was signed by the President as requested by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Department of Defense…"
"The soldiers are sacrificing their lives innocently. If they knew the truth and responded correctly, maybe they wouldn't have to die anymore…"
"Then, you go and teach them how to make the correct response. This is your duty as the highest commander in the Pacific Fleet Naval Special Forces. Remember, the best soldiers are the soldiers who will only obey the superiors and will not think. The orders signed by the President are not to be violated. Without any new order…" the old man was angered by the overbearing words of the middle-aged officer and finally, he shouted.
At this time, his secretary opened the door all of a sudden. "General, the Honolulu City's police informed us that a violent attack has taken place in the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. It's said that there are monsters and supernatural beings who can fly showing up in the sky…"
"The Royal Hawaiian Hotel! Sh*t! They have really snuck into the city!" Maeger gritted his teeth. "Sir, we must…"
"We must continue to pursue! As for the others, we'll leave them to the 'professionals' from the FBI or the CIA to handle. Stop wasting time in my office, Major. Do what you should do! This is an order!" Ordi calmed down and looked at the middle-aged officer before commanding in an expressionless manner.
Obeying commands is a military's duty. Maeger clenched his fists and took a deep breath before saluting. "Yes, Sir General!" Then, he proceeded to walk out of the office.
Watching the silhouette of the subordinate he admired and thought highly of the most gradually disappearing from the open door, Ordi sighed exhaustedly and waved his hand to gesture for the secretary to shut the office door.
At the same time when the office door of the US Pacific Fleet's commander was gradually closing, Zhang Lisheng, Tina, Trish, and Sheila had gotten out of the taxi and were heading to the Hanalei Pier.
At this time, most of the yacht owners who intended to sail had already sailed away. It was a completely serene view in the pier and only the yachts parked in the berth rose up and down on the sea.
The sea breeze was a bit cold, Zhang Lisheng, who was wearing a pair of shorts and a T-shirt bought on the beach in the morning shuddered from the cold breeze. Appearing to be a little ridiculous, he stamped his feet and asked, "Tina, where is your yacht?"
"My yacht's tonnage is not big, it's parked right there in the middle of the berth. We'll reach it very soon." Tina took Zhang Lisheng's arm and smiled as they walked along the cement road along the pier. "Lisheng, are you cold? We're in Hawaii now you know…"
"Oh, Tina! I can't believe that you can still be concerned about whether your boyfriend is feeling cold or not!" Sheila, who was following behind them and seemed to have just snapped back to reality, shouted, "Don't you know w-what happened just now?"
"Don't be so loud, dear Sheila! Let's talk when we get on the yacht." Tina put a finger on her mouth as she gestured to her best friend before stopping right in front of her yacht that was called the Manhattan Princess.
This was a large yacht that had a length of more than 50 meters. There were four large bedrooms in total, two at the front and two at the back. In between the two large bedrooms were eight single bedrooms and a kitchen. As for the top deck, it opened up into a huge lounge.
A yacht with such a layout was originally unimaginably luxurious in the eyes of ordinary people but it could only be said as ordinary to those people who were truly rich. However, if a single-handed Cruise Control System was added into it, it would become completely different already.
At present, the longest layout of a yacht that could be sailed single-handedly was 55 meters at most. The Manhattan Princess had already reached the limit.
After boarding the yacht, Zhang Lisheng quickly went to the lounge on the top deck and finally got himself away from the sea breeze that was getting stronger. He let out a sigh of relief and looked around at the magnificent decorations as he went to sit on the sofa beside the 360-degree panoramic glass window. Curling his lip, he commented, "There's no private jet but there's a private yacht instead. This is not bad too."
"Baby, the private jet is not commonly used but the yacht is a necessity. Ok, I'm going to sail now so where do you think we should go first?"
"It's best if we can return to New York." Zhang Lisheng let his tongue run loose.
"Even though the Manhattan Princess has a specially designed fuel tank, even if we sail back to New York with a full tank, we'll most likely become Robinson who drifted to a deserted island halfway. The longest trip I've sailed with this yacht is just one whole round around the Hawaiian Islands. However, that took me several days, it was horribly slower than an aircraft!"
"A horribly slow speed is exactly what we need now. Just sail around the Hawaiian Islands then, Tina. Only until we've heard the news of those terrorists being killed by the US army on the spot after they've killed hundreds of innocent civilians will we return to Honolulu."
The more cautious Zhang Lisheng was, the sweeter Tina found him to be in her heart. The girl understood very well that if it was not for the three burdens of Trish, Sheila and her, the young man who has almost killed Altman and Julinas just now would not have taken so much trouble to avoid the two of them.
"If you were not together with us, you wouldn't need to avoid those two madmen like this," she remarked guiltily.
"However, if it wasn't for him, we'd not have come across such madmen too…" Sheila, who just took out a glass of juice from the refrigerator took a huge gulp, before blurting out. Then, she froze for a moment and soon, a half-worried look crept upon her face. "Lisheng, I was merely joking. Y-You won't secretly go behind Tina's back because of this and m-make me…"
"Don't worry Sheila. I'll never do anything to you in my entire life." Zhang Lisheng covered the blanket on the sofa onto himself. "Tina, I'll go look for a bedroom to rest. Don't forget to wake me up tomorrow morning."
"Lisheng, you can actually make such a joke. Wow, this is a big improvement." Tina looked at her friend's expression who wanted to refute but dared not before chuckling.
Zhang Lisheng chuckled soundlessly and walked out of the yacht's lounge with the blanket around him.
On the deck, he commanded Mountoad, who leaped onto the yacht from the sea, to follow him from behind as he walked into a large bedroom at the stern.
Even though it was said to be as a large bedroom, the rooms on the yacht were certainly not as comparable to a hotel. However, the young man was originally not picky when it came to material items. The big bed and an attached bathroom in the bedroom were already enough to draw out a satisfied smile from him.
After having a comfortable hot water bath in the bathtub, Zhang Lisheng wore his shorts and crawled onto the bed. Placing the wizard gu in front of him, he gradually sat down in the position he was most accustomed to.
The moonlight of the sea penetrated through the windows on the cabin's bulkhead before shining down on the back filled with sarcoma and corns, reflecting a series of faint dim brilliance.
The young man looked at his own wizard gu and began to draw the outline of an ever-changing Demon's image in his mind.
That Demon had a complete body except for a head that was not yet constructed. Zhang Lisheng knew that by the time the Demon's head had completely appeared, it would be the chance for him to make a breakthrough to the level of Rank-6 Wizard. If he had killed Altman and Julinas tonight, perhaps he would already be in the midst of a transformation from living to dead now.
"If I rely on the secret method to cultivate, I'd need to wait at least five to six years later before I can try making a breakthrough to Rank-6 Wizard. How many more years...three, five or seven years that I can hold up? It's better to just…" The moment he thought of this, the young man could not help but comment while feeling slight frustration and unawareness. It was fortunate that there was a secret to cleansing the mind during cultivation. So soon after, he reflected on it and knew that he had once again fallen into anxiousness to get quick results. Taking a deep breath, he recomposed his mental state once again.
Gradually, some kind of mysterious connection was unknowingly established between Zhang Lisheng and Mountoad. The wizard gu spat out thick smoke that went straight into the young man's body through his nostrils.
The thick smoke prompted the wizard power in Zhang Lisheng's body to fluctuate and transform into several dozens of weird worms that smelted the toxins and impurities that were not much left in his body into smoke before dispelling it out.
After the black smoke floated out, the wizard gu absorbed it to form a secret circulation. Then, the young man fell into a cultivation state of being seemingly asleep.
After cultivating for a time not known how long, Zhang Lisheng was suddenly awakened by whispers by the door. "Lisheng, are you asleep?"
Rubbing his face, the young man looked at the bright moon that was still hanging in the sky outside the window in a daze. He was just about to tell Tina that he was already asleep and ask her to come back tomorrow when he suddenly recalled the reason Tina came to look for him at midnight.
"Wait a minute, I'll open the door." Zhang Lisheng motioned for Mountoad to jump off the bed to hide in the corner of the room before hurriedly opening the door.
Outside the door, Tina was wearing a black thong and a thin strap bra. With her full chest protruding out, she said, "Good evening, baby! Our yacht is now ten miles away from Oahu so you can rest assured now. I'm very scared tonight, can you comfort me gently?"
After saying that, the girl reached out to tuck her hand underneath Zhang Lisheng's armpit before leading him to the cabin.
