Chapter 703: Punishment
The sea seems to be endless, and everything as far as the eye can see is covered in blue.
This scenic summer breeze had been witnessed, and at this moment, he was returning along the route he had once taken to Victoria.
...
The cargo ships of the Haimen Gang are full of power and are currently the most advanced source stone drive.
When they came before, the ship had been rocking at sea for more than ten days, and at this moment, this ship could almost save several times the time.
As it gets farther and farther away from land, communication becomes difficult, Penguin Logistics' information is intermittent, and communication equipment such as mobile phones also have extremely poor signals.
...
On the deck, Xia Feng asked a brother from the Haimen Gang.
"How long will it take?"
This man wore a turban, and his skin was tanned because of his many years of sailing.
"Brother Feng, it will take at least 2 days, the wind is too strong on the deck, don't stand here, go back and rest more."
It's winter, and the chilly sea breeze and humid air make you shiver.
Xia Feng looked at the thin figure at the bow of the boat.
"Ivlit, it's too windy, come in first."
Seeing that Ifrit didn't react, Xia Feng raised his voice.
"Ifrili, Ifrit, do you hear me, come in and have something to eat, if you want to save Hermer, everyone must listen to the command, this is the order."
The thin figure slowly stood up from the bow of the ship, and Ifrit bowed her head and walked into the cabin without saying a word.
....
Inside the kitchenette on board.
A glass of hot milk and two slices of bread were placed on the table in front of Ifrit, but she didn't move.
Xia Feng sat across from her.
"Eat it, it'll be cold in a while."
A small voice came from Ifrit's mouth.
"Hemer, she's not going to be dead?"
Hearing her words, Xia Feng immediately blamed.
"You bear child, what are you talking nonsense?"
"It's all because of me, right?"
Xia Feng pursed his lips.
"Regardless of the reason, we are all in the same group, there is no cause and effect in this matter, it is just the only way to success, understand?"
"I don't understand."
Leaving the cold laboratory, Ifrit, who had lived in Victoria for almost a year, undoubtedly knew more than before.
But because the mind is broad, the more you know, the more you don't understand.
Of course, Xia Feng knew that it was impossible for Hemmer to have an accident, and before he and Ifrit appeared in the sight of Rhine's life, Hemmer was the biggest bargaining chip.
But Ifrit obviously didn't understand, she only knew that in the values of Rhine's life, life was incomparably cheap, and once it lost its value to be used, there was no need to exist.
Within her understanding, the current situation is straightforward.
Because Hemmer let her go, now Hemmer has been punished, it's as simple as that.
...
Looking at Ifrit's lost appearance, Xia Feng was very distressed.
In addition to the turtle turtle in the Black Feather family, he has spent the longest time with Ivlit, and he has watched her grow up all the way, and knows her temper and personality very well.
In his cognition, Ifrit would never show such an expression, even in the face of the deep sea trolls, in the face of swarming enemies, she was always laughing wildly.
But now, that innocent smile disappeared from her face, replaced by a haze.
Xia Feng didn't know if this was the price of growth, he only knew that he had to bring the Hermers back to Victoria safely.
"Ivlit."
"Yes."
"I will definitely rescue Hermer, no, we are together, we want to rescue Hermer and everyone safely, didn't you say that you want Hermer to see the Christmas tree you planted in the yard, and the little Mo you raised."
"Well..."
Xia Feng stood up, walked over to Ifrit and touched her head.
"Okay, okay, Hemmer will be fine, eat quickly, how can you have the strength to save people if you don't eat enough."
As she spoke, Xia Feng tore the bread into small pieces and stuffed it into her mouth.
....
After 2 days, there was a heavy fog at sea, and because of the experienced crew, there would not be any deviation in the direction.
As the brothers of the Haimen Gang said, through the fog, they quickly saw the land.
Everyone stood on the deck, and at the end of the line of sight, the outline of the port gradually became clear, and they finally arrived.
...
At this time, the port had been blockaded by the Black Steel, and all freight and ordinary ships were stopped.
Summer Wind and their boat soon approached the dock, and as the anchor was secured, the ship finally came to a stop.
Ogul didn't come over in person, and it was Xia Feng's old acquaintance, Captain Rota, who was in charge of receiving it on Black Steel's side.
"Brother Rota, hard work."
"You're working hard."
There were no superfluous pleasantries, the ship's weapons and equipment were quickly unloaded, and all the fighters disembarked.
...
Franka and Razer said they would go back to headquarters to report on the situation and then come back to meet, and Xia Feng said that he understood.
In the final analysis, they are Black Steel's people after all, and for such a big action, Black Steel must know the details of the situation.
However, Xia Feng is not worried, with his friendship with Ogul and various cooperations, it is impossible for Black Steel not to help him at all, it is just a matter of how much he helps.
"Didi, Didi."
At this time, Xia Feng's phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number, and it seemed that the signal was gradually restored after docking.
Xia Feng immediately picked it up.
"Hey, I'm Xia Feng."
The voice on the other end of the phone was very respectful.
"Lord Xia Feng, my side is the Imperial Yuan Council, and I now inform you that there is an important meeting of nobles in 2 days, and you need to come to Lentinium to participate."
"I'm not available, hang up."
"Wait a minute."
The person on the other end of the phone was a little embarrassed.
"Lord Xia Feng, this meeting is very important, Princess Verin has given an order, I must let you attend, it is.... About the infected in the south. ”
Xia Feng frowned.
"What's in the north of the south, I'm not in Victoria right now."
"Huh? Where are you? ”
"I'm traveling abroad, and I won't be back until 10 days and half a month, so you can take a leave of absence for me and the princess, that's it, hang up."
"Hey, wait......"
Xia Feng decisively hung up the phone.
He didn't care about the Imperial Council anymore, and Verin's face was useless.
This side is already ready to fight hard in another country, and there is still a meeting with him over there, make a fart, and go back alive first.
...
To be honest, this operation was very hasty and very sudden, and it can be said that there was no prediction and no arrangement other than combat effectiveness.
But there's no way around it.
All Xia Feng can be sure of now is that Hemmer's life is safe before he appears, but every second that passes, Hemmer and the others have no way of knowing what they are going through.
Including Bai Gugu, they are the same, they are not combatants, they do not have excellent physical fitness and endurance, and dragging it out will only make people more and more impatient.
It was an ordeal for him and for Ivlit.
So at this moment, there are no conditions to take a long-term view, whether it is the attitude of the Colombian military or the situation in Victoria, it is impossible to control it now.
Everything will have to wait until Hemmer is rescued, strength is the last word.
As for the follow-up troubles, if it can be settled, it will be settled, and if it is not, it will be pulled down, and no factor can be a reason to stop Black Feather's rescue operation this time.
