The scene before them left everyone on the nearby boats utterly stunned!
All it took was a single injection into a shark, and suddenly, every fish in this part of the ocean seemed possessed, turning on their own kind in a frenzy of violence.
Strangely, these fish only attacked their own species, ignoring all others completely.
Everyone on board was safe, but each person felt a chill deep in their hearts.
Yet Jiro Hirayama, who caused all this, remained perfectly calm.
It was as if he hadn’t done anything at all.
“Wh-what is this...” Several experts were at a loss for words, some even blurting out in their native languages.
Jiro Hirayama tilted his head and glanced at the questioning experts, replying calmly, “It’s a reagent that can control the brain. In just three seconds, it spreads throughout the body—anywhere the blood reaches, it takes effect. I added an attack attribute to this batch, so anyone or any animal affected will go berserk and attack their own kind. I call this reagent ‘Frenzy.’”
Everyone on the boat shuddered in unison.
One of the experts couldn’t help but ask, “If it keeps spreading like this, won’t the entire ocean be contaminated?”
Jiro Hirayama glanced at the dwindling group of battling sharks and answered calmly, “No, the reagent only lasts ten minutes. After that, the effect disappears and becomes nutrients for the nearby fish. Of course, from now on, the fish here will be much more vicious than before.”
Listening to Jiro Hirayama, Cecilia Gu suddenly thought of Ouyang Feng, the Western Venom.
Back then, even Huang Rong witnessed something like this at sea!
But Jiro Hirayama is way ahead of Ouyang Feng.
Just a reagent the size of a fingernail, and it solved something no one else could!
No matter if they were friend or foe, everyone on Jiro Hirayama’s boat instinctively kept their distance from him.
This man wore a hoodie and looked so young and harmless, almost innocent.
Who would’ve thought he was the real hidden boss?
Mona Mu was also staring at Jiro Hirayama in shock, while Jiro looked at her with an aggrieved expression.
Mona Mu reacted differently from everyone else. She tilted her head, thought for a moment, then slapped Jiro Hirayama on the shoulder. “Nicely done!”
Hearing Mona Mu's praise, Jiro Hirayama broke into a happy smile.
He didn’t care at all about anyone else’s opinions.
He wasn’t bothered by their fear either.
But instinctively, he didn’t want Mona Mu to look at him differently, nor did he want her to be afraid of him.
The trembling, nervous expert couldn’t help his curiosity, “How much of that poison do you have left?”
Jiro Hirayama glanced at the box in his hand and answered casually, “Oh, I don’t really know. I can just make more whenever I need it.”
The expert shivered and didn’t dare ask any more.
He thought to himself, I'm too old for this kind of shock.
Yin Yuhan’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Cecilia Gu, “Mom, is Grandpa’s lab as powerful as Godfather’s?”
Cecilia Gu pinched Yin Yuhan’s nose and replied, “The Yun Family’s lab doesn’t make poisons, only things to help people.”
Yin Yuhan pressed on, “Then why does Grandpa still want Godfather to go to the Yun Family lab?”
“Because healing and killing are actually two sides of the same coin. Take morphine for example—it’s used in medicine to relieve pain for severe patients, but too much can be addictive and damage the nervous system. So, it can heal or harm.” Cecilia explained patiently.
Gu Miao couldn’t help chiming in, “I get it now, Mom! It’s just like modern technology—it makes life easier but also brings more ways to die. Like cars with car accidents, planes with crashes.”
“Exactly!” Cecilia replied with a smile.
The two kids immediately caught the attention of the five experts.
Wow, this kid is really smart.
Whoa, this kid is really clever.
The five experts instantly forgot Jiro Hirayama's earlier intimidation and turned to Yin Yuhan and Gu Miao with big smiles. “Kids, are you interested in weapons? Haha, I’m still looking for a student—I could teach you everything I know...”
Yin Yuhan puffed out his chest, “Can you get the blueprints for an aircraft carrier?”
Gu Miao lifted her chin, “Can you hack into the Pentagon?”
The five experts:
Yin Yuhan and Gu Miao answered proudly at the same time, “We can!”
The five experts: "...Pretend we never said anything."
#Faced with two genius kids, tried to trick them into becoming students, but got totally owned. Please calculate the psychological trauma area.#
With the threat from the pursuing sharks gone, everyone could finally move forward with peace of mind.
The largest island was now in sight, and everyone relaxed a little.
Once they landed on the island, everyone would be safe.
Just as everyone started to relax, thinking the danger was over, real trouble suddenly struck!
During the earlier shark attack, one shark accidentally rammed the bottom of the speedboat. Maybe it was the agony of dying, but its teeth punctured the hull.
Water began to slowly seep in at a spot no one noticed.
By the time everyone realized something was wrong with the boat, the bottom was already flooded.
At this point, the speedboat was still over a hundred meters from shore!
“Oh no, oh no, the boat’s taking on water! We’re sinking!” someone shouted.
Most people on this boat were elderly, women, or children. Aside from the driver, no one knew how to fix a boat!
The speedboat was just an auxiliary vessel for the big ship, usually maintained by specialists.
This chapter isn’t over yet ^.^, please click next page to continue reading!
Right now, where could they possibly find maintenance staff?
What should they do?
The water in the hull kept rising, and the speedboat gradually lost power as it took on more water.
The current in this area was fast and full of hidden dangers. If they jumped into the water now, who knew where they’d end up!
Cecilia Gu's sense of danger finally peaked at this moment.
Her instincts kicked in—she grabbed Yin Yuhan and shouted to Mona Mu, who was sitting nearby, “Mona, jump with Gu Miao! Hurry!”
As soon as Cecilia finished speaking, she turned and jumped off the boat with Yin Yuhan, swimming desperately toward the distance.
Mona Mu didn’t know why Cecilia was suddenly doing this, but since Cecilia jumped, she had no reason not to.
Mona Mu grabbed Gu Miao, strapped her to herself, and jumped in too.
Seeing Mona jump, Jiro Hirayama naturally followed suit.
The five experts were still looking at each other, clueless about why they were all jumping ship.
Even if the boat was sinking, it wouldn’t go down right away. They could just wait for the others to come rescue them.
Why the rush?
At that moment, the other bodyguards seemed to sense something was wrong. Their faces changed and they shouted, “It’s bad, there’s a gasoline leak! There’s an open flame on board! The shark must’ve bitten through the lines! Everyone, jump!”
The bodyguards didn’t care about sides anymore—they all jumped into the water, scattering in every direction.
Only then did the five experts finally react. As they awkwardly tried to jump ship, an explosion erupted from the cockpit.
Boom—a deafening blast sent a wave of heat surging out.
Cecilia Gu clung tightly to Yin Yuhan, took a deep breath, and dove underwater!
Mona Mu followed suit, hugging Gu Miao and diving down as well.
The speedboat Cecilia was on wasn’t very big, but the explosion was powerful enough to send heat waves across dozens of meters.
Cecilia felt herself sinking inside.
She was still over a hundred meters from the shore. Did she really have the strength to make it there with her child?
At that moment, people on the boats behind them witnessed the entire scene.
“No...” Charles Yin screamed desperately as he saw the speedboat explode.
At that moment, Charles Yin’s eyes blazed with fury.
Count Field dashed over, saw the speedboat explode, then turned and grabbed Captain Hans by the collar, demanding harshly, “What the hell is this?”
Captain Hans was completely baffled. “How should I know what happened! There were five experts on that boat—top weapons experts in the world! Gone! The experts I worked so hard to capture, all gone!”
Charles Yin turned to jump in, but Count Field grabbed him. “You’re the leader, you have to stay here. I’ll go save them!”
With that, Count Field slung on an extra backpack, put on a respirator as the speedboat reached the blast zone, and dove straight into the sea.
Captain Hans gritted his teeth, “I’m going to help too! Charles Yin, I swear to God, this wasn’t my doing!”
After saying this, Captain Hans grabbed a backpack and an oxygen tank and jumped into the sea as well.
Charles Yin wanted desperately to jump in and search, but if he did, there would be no leader left!
Just as Charles Yin was spinning in circles, his mind blank with worry, Old Master Mo finally stepped forward.
“The current here is fast. It’s better to search downstream.” Old Master Mo came up beside Charles Yin and said quietly, “Go now, time is precious!”
Charles Yin whipped around and saw Old Master Mo’s calm gaze. Gritting his teeth, he followed the advice, turning the speedboat to race downstream.
Underwater, Cecilia Gu hugged Gu Miao tightly, sank a few meters, then quickly spread her arms and fought her way up toward the surface.
The light from the explosion above instantly pierced the water, letting Cecilia see the others who had jumped in at the same time.
