Chapter 284 [Minglu Island] (Part 2)

Ye Qinghong said: "Brother Zhang, if you feel troublesome, I will help you silence them all, and all the troubles will be over."

Hai Mingzhu screamed in fear and hurriedly approached Zhang Changgong. One hand had already grabbed Zhang Changgong's arm. Zhang Changgong's face turned purple with shame. Luo Lie and the blind man couldn't help laughing. Hai Mingzhu looked up at the sky and saw that the moon shadow above her head was a little blurry and red, and suddenly said, "It's bad, the storm is coming!"

Luo Lie and his men looked up when they heard her say this. The blind man thought she was drunk and cut it and said, "You are drunk!"

Hai Mingzhu said: "You are just drunk. My father has taught me to see the weather since I was a child. The storm is very big, and..." Before she finished speaking, the wind blew, and several people turned around in a hurry to prevent the wind from rising and ashes from fading.

Zhang Changgong was worried that the wind would cause fire to blow the sparks, so he carried a bucket of sea water to extinguish the bonfire. After a while, the wind became much stronger. They were about to return to the boat to rest before the storm came. However, the boat they were riding had broken the rope in the wind and drifted farther and farther away.

Their ships are still a distance from the shore. The water takes advantage of the wind. At this moment, the sea water rises rapidly, furthering the distance between them and the big ship. The waves are also higher than the waves. If you force yourself to return to the ship, you will definitely encounter danger.

Luo Lie said decisively: "Let's find a shelter to hide first, and wait until the wind is low."

The other people also thought of the same place with him.

Hai Mingzhu said, "Come with me!" She led the way forward and led several people into a cave southeast of Minglu Island. It turned out that she had been here in the past.

As soon as the five people walked into the cave, it started to rain heavily outside. After walking a few steps, they saw a decayed corpse. Although the blind man was mentally prepared, he was still shocked. The corpse was wearing a military uniform, with a knife inserted into the chest. The tip of the knife was revealed from the front of his chest. It seemed that someone was raiding from behind and stabbed through his body.

The blind man said to Hai Mingzhu: "Do you recognize him?"

Hai Mingzhu looked at the corpse that had been corrupted to the point where only the skeleton was left. It would be strange if she could recognize it. She recalled the past and said, "The last time I came here was five years ago. I was chasing the White Shark Gang people with my father, and a battle happened here."

Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong looked at each other. It is common for pirates to fight for treasures. The White Shark Gang is also one of the pirate teams that are rampant in the East China Sea. Later, they were defeated by the Hailong Gang and driven out of the East China Sea. The Hailong Gang dominated for a while, but it did not last long and was eventually forced to leave the sea area.

This cave used to be one of the nests of the White Shark Gang on the sea. The structure of the cave is like a big gourd. The entrance is narrow and will become wider after entering. It will narrow again when going inside, and then enter the back half of the cave.

Two iron doors were set up in the second narrowing place, and locks were locked on the iron doors, but this was not a problem for the blind man. The blind man opened the two door locks in less than a minute. The cave inside was the place where the White Shark Gang used to store supplies and weapons in the past. They had basically been emptied, but some were left behind.

The ammunition left alone was enough to arm a small army. Zhang Changgong and Hai Mingzhu collected and checked the remaining weapons and ammunition, while the blind man was busy checking the cans and wine stored inside. Luo Lie asked Ye Qinghong to help and returned to the entrance of the cave. It was raining outside. The wind blew the rain, and the rain flew in the air, unable to tell where it fell. The wind swept the waves, the waves slammed the shore, and let out a low roar like a beast in the wilderness.

Standing at Luo Lie, you can see the waves like a wall, wave after wave, and waves hit the island. The location where they just lit the bonfire was swallowed up by the waves. There was a purple light between the sea and the sky, and it was hard to tell whether it was lightning or starlight. In the surging waves, some of the silhouettes of the Pearl can be seen. The Pearl has fallen anchor and is anchored in the leeward place of Minglu Island. It should be fine.

Luo Lie remembered Lao An’s reminder, and he did not deceive himself.

Lu Weilin raised his telescope and looked into the distance. Due to the limitation of his vision, he could not see his companions on the island. The storm happened shortly after Luo Lie and the other five landed on the island. As long as it was not on the sea, there should not be too much danger. However, in this way, Luo Lie and others should not be able to return to the ship in the short term.

Lu Weilin remembered Lao An's words before, and turned around and walked towards the cabin where Lao An was imprisoned.

"How do you know?" This is not only Lu Weilin, but also everyone is surprised. Why did Lao An predict the existence of this storm before this? Is the changes in the weather really related to the solar term?

Lao An smiled and said in a silence: "I know, but you don't understand if you say it." He didn't know about Luo Lie and others landing on the island, so he looked behind Lu Weilin and said: "Where is Luo Lie? I have something to do with him."

Lu Weilin said: "He doesn't want to see you."

Lao An had already guessed the clue from Lu Weilin's response and laughed: "He went to the island, right?"

Lu Weilin had already experienced his cunning, and it was normal for him to see through this matter.

When Lao An saw Lu Weilin not answering, he thought that this was equivalent to acquiescence. He sighed softly and said, "Luo Lie is a talent. Although he doubted my motive, he still became more careful. He chose to park on Minglu Island overnight."

Lu Weilin said calmly: "You have been thinking too much. In fact, Luo Lie just wants to make a smile and want to see the sunrise on Minglu Island tomorrow."

Old An said: "I hope he has a chance..." He paused and said: "See tomorrow's sunrise."

On the way back, Luo Lie met Ye Qinghong who came to look for him. Ye Qinghong was still a little worried about him coming out alone, so he came out to find him.

Luo Lie briefly explained the situation outside. Although there were storms and turbid waves outside, they could escape this ordeal in the cave. Even if the storm did not stop for a short period of time, they could rely on the cans stored in the cave to solve the problem of eating.

Ye Qinghong said: "How could Lao An predict that there would be a storm here?"

Luo Lie said: "Maybe it was just a coincidence." A sudden thunder sounded outside, and the thunder seemed to hit the outside of the cave, causing the entire cave to tremble. The sand and stones on the top of the cave fell. Luo Lie subconsciously took Ye Qinghong into his arms and used his body to block the sand and stones falling on her head to prevent her from being hurt.

Ye Qinghong snuggled tightly in Luo Lie's arms. Luo Lie never took the initiative to express his love for her, but this instinctive reaction has shown that his care for him comes from his heart. Ye Qinghong hugged Luo Lie tightly as if he was afraid that he would leave him once he let go.

Luo Lie gently patted her back in the darkness and whispered: "It's okay, don't be afraid!"

Ye Qinghong still refused to let go and hugged Luo Lie persistently. Luo Lie's hand slightly raised, but a pale face appeared in his mind. He suddenly felt a stinging pain in his heart! Another thunder sounded, and Ye Qinghong's delicate body trembled in Luo Lie's arms.

Luo Lie felt that the sound of the waves slamming the shore outside was getting louder and louder. He and Ye Qinghong came to the entrance of the cave again. Looking up, the sea water actually rose a lot more at this moment. Luo Lie realized a serious problem, which he did not expect at first. The opening of the cave lies in the middle of Minglu Island. Luo Lie originally thought that the sea water could not have flooded the entrance of the cave, and what they saw in the cave just now did not have any traces of tide soaking, but not in the past does not mean that there is no now.

Once the sea level overflows the hole, sea water will flow backwards. If they insist on staying in the cave, they will be swallowed up by the sea water.

Ye Qinghong also realized this serious problem and exclaimed: "We must leave this cave." Although it is only a possibility, they cannot just wait like this. Once the tide rises too fast, it may be too late to retreat.

The two turned around and informed the others. After packing up, the group left the cave. When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, they found that the tide had risen less than two meters below the entrance of the cave. Among the five of them, Hai Mingzhu had the most experience in the sea, but Hai Mingzhu had never seen such a strange scene. Judging from the speed of the tide rising in front of them, this was an unprecedented storm.

The five people walked towards the top of the island under the wind and rain. At present, it is safest to reach the highest point. The wind is getting heavier and heavier, and they have to connect each other with ropes to avoid someone being blown into the sea by the strong wind. Everyone tried to lower their bodies and reduce wind resistance in this way.

The blind man walked in front, but in fact his night eyes could not play much role in such bad weather conditions. Raindrops as big as soybeans flew towards him and hit his face with crackling pain. The blind man shouted, "There is the woods ahead. Let's go into the forest to avoid it?"

Zhang Changgong shouted: "No, there will be danger of being hit by lightning in the forest." This is just a basic common sense that everyone knows. The blind man was stunned for a moment. They finally arrived at the top of the island, found a Shikong, and everyone squeezed in.

The blind man wiped the rain from his face and looked up. He saw a wave wall several floors above the sea in front of him slapped at the island like a covered in the sky. The wave peak was almost level with their place, and exclaimed: "Damn it! This wave is too big. Could it be that Minglu Island is flooded by the waves, right?"

In fact, everyone thought of this possibility in their hearts. Hai Mingzhu shook her head and said, "It's impossible. I've never heard of Minglu Island being flooded by sea."

Zhang Changgong looked at the blurry shadows on both sides and said, "It shouldn't be. If the high tide floods the island, these trees will not be able to grow so densely."

The blind man said, "There is nothing absolute in the world, there was nothing in the past, who knows if it will be today?" As soon as he finished speaking, a purple lightning in the sky tore through the night and slammed into the woods on their right side. For a moment, the lightning flashed, and the entire Minglu Island was as bright as day. After the lightning, the earth-shaking thunder followed one after another.
