The iceberg was moving faster and faster, and the white cliff seemed like a high-speed train moving forward. What frightened the people on the boat the most was that another part of this fast train was approaching them.
With its high speed and weight of tens of millions of tons, everyone knows what the consequences will be if it hits the ship.
"Hurry! Turn the rudder, turn the rudder! The turbine compartment is overloaded! Let's get out of here!" Captain Klas's anxious voice resounded throughout the Girl and Love.
Billowing black smoke wrapped in sparks spewed out of the chimney, and the whole ship began to move. The ship did not have a reverse gear, so if it wanted to turn around, it would have to go around a circle, but that was not enough.
Regardless of whether any of them absorbed the relics or what new technologies from Hope Island were added to the ship, the role of mankind was so insignificant in the face of this entire moving frozen continent.
"Turn! Turn the bow towards the moving iceberg! Hold on tight! We'll use the force of the movement to throw us out!" This could very likely throw the entire ship apart. But Krass didn't want to give up.
They watched helplessly as the iceberg was about to hit them, but they could do nothing. Everyone's face was deathly gray at this moment.
At this critical moment, Lily suddenly moved. She flew up quickly, came to the side of the hull, put her hands on it and pushed hard.
Lily felt the power in her body and used it according to the method taught by the Pope.
A dazzling light shot out and shone on the ship as if it were real. The light, which should have been massless, actually had mass at this moment. The powerful thrust pushed the entire exploration ship away.
An all-metal exploration ship several dozen meters long was like a toy in Lily's hands and was easily pushed away from danger.
The other crew members on the ship looked at this scene in shock. They knew that their employer this time was quite powerful, but they didn't know that the other party was so strong.
When Lily returned to the exploration ship that was out of danger, everyone, including Klaus, looked at her with admiration.
This kind of gaze made Lily feel uncomfortable. She pinched the hem of her skirt with her hands and said, "Don't look at me. Look ahead. The ice continent has disappeared."
After hearing this, everyone came to their senses and found that the frozen continent in the distance had completely left them, and the way forward appeared in front of them again.
"Damn, what on earth is that? Why is that large piece of ice moving so fast?" said the second mate with a frown.
But no one could answer this question. The other crew members all looked at the captain, waiting for his next order.
Kras did not issue an order, but looked at Lily beside him. "Ms. Lily, can you tell me why you need our protection when you are so powerful? If even you can't solve the problem, then we can't solve it either."
The girl's glowing hair swayed slightly as she shook her head. "I didn't ask you to protect me. I just needed logistics. If I fly there alone, there will be no fresh water, no food, and no place to sleep."
Klaus suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration in his heart. It turned out that in her eyes, his exploration ship was just a hotel for rest.
"Go and leave a current record to Sodom via wireless telegram, and we will continue on our way."
The underwater propeller began to rotate again, pushing the Girl and Love towards the distant darkness.
The frozen continent left without taking the icebergs with it, and the situation returned to what it was before, with no waves, no wind, and no movement at all.
Sailing in this place, everyone on the ship was on high alert, but there seemed to be nothing unusual afterwards, and everything seemed so calm.
The entire sea seemed to be completely frozen by the cold weather, and there was nothing out of place.
The previous 50 grams per person per day has been increased to 500 grams, but they are not allowed to drink during shifts.
The crew's spirits were greatly relieved, and the alcohol could numb the cold, which also made them feel much more comfortable.
Lily no longer hid in the room, but often patrolled the deck. Gradually, she got along better with the crew members.
After all, who doesn't like to interact with a cute young girl, who has saved their lives.
There were still seven days to the destination, and seeing that the mission was about to be completed, everyone's mood became better, and even the whispers in everyone's mind became much lighter.
When Lily came to the deck again, she saw the sailors sitting together drinking and bragging, among whom the bald-headed boatswain boasted the most outrageous thing.
"I'm telling you, I don't even care about this crappy place. When I went to the surface with Governor Charles to look for darkness, I saw weirder things than this."
"And if it weren't for me, Governor Charles would never have found the darkness. Later, in the Governor's Mansion on Hope Island, he begged me to be the Governor of Hope Island, and even planned to marry his daughter to me."
"You know me. I can't sit still. It's more uncomfortable to face those papers all day long than to kill me. I refused."
Lily was no longer surprised to hear what they said. She had seen a lot these days and could say things even more outrageous than this.
She looked at the icebergs around her, thinking about the upcoming destination, and pondering the crises and troubles she might encounter there.
And if he really became the God of Light, how would Mr. Charles react.
As they were chatting, the crew members somehow began to compete with each other on their courage. At this time, an iceberg floated past the ship.
A sailor who was laughed at by everyone stood up, staggered to the edge of the boat, vomited violently for a while, and then touched it with his hand with pride.
He turned around and looked at his colleagues with a smug look on his red face. "Do you dare?"
But the next second, the expression on his face froze and he stood there like a sculpture.
The crew members who were drinking felt something was wrong at this time, and quickly surrounded him, looking at the guy with confusion.
Suddenly the man returned to normal and fell to the ground. This scene scared everyone, and then everyone burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, you're pretty good at this. I'm scared by you."
"Yeah, it's so real. Don't tell those guys in the Turbine Group, I'm going to use this trick on them later."
Everyone was laughing, but the observant Lily noticed that the sailor nicknamed Wrench was in a bad mood.
