But why did they go to the Zhoushan Islands in the first place?
The island is surrounded by the sea, and the only way to get in and out is by boat or by crossing a bridge.
It's impossible to escape.
wrong.
Their destination, Zhoushan, has already been exposed, so there's no point in them going there now.
If the helicopter were to return to the mainland via Zhoushan, then its initial destination should have been the mainland, not the island.
Because there are only a few roads on the island, there aren't many routes to take when escaping.
Unless, of course, they have other helicopters prepared.
Or... take the sea route.
Gu Ran unfolded the map again; if they were to take the sea route, they would have more options.
Yangshan Island has many piers and ports.
Are they planning to hide on a cargo ship or inside a container?
Or perhaps... Gu Ran saw the sea area at the far east edge of the map.
Jeju Island in South Korea, and the land of cherry blossoms, are both to the east!
This place is only about 400 kilometers away from Jeju Island in South Korea.
It's only about 600 kilometers away from the land of cherry blossoms.
Any jet ski or speedboat with a full tank of fuel can reach these two places in just a few hours...
Gu Ran thought about it more and more and felt that this was very likely. There was no surveillance at sea, making it difficult to find their whereabouts. They were like a drop in the ocean, making them even more difficult to find.
"Can you prepare a speedboat? We need to go out to sea!" Gu Ran immediately called Nuwa and briefly explained his speculation.
He had to stop them from leaving the country by sea.
Nuwa thought for a moment and immediately allocated resources to him: "Go to Laogang Town immediately, and I will provide you with a large flying ship."
Old Port Town is right on their current driving route.
The Dafei is a modified high-powered jet ski, equipped with six or seven jet ski engines, with a top speed of 90 kilometers per hour and a range of over 400 kilometers.
At this speed, it would only take less than five hours to get from the beach here to Jeju Island in South Korea, without even needing to refuel along the way.
The two drove to Laogang Town, where someone was already waiting and led them onto a speedboat.
They weren't very good at driving a boat, so they needed a boatman.
Forty minutes had passed since Su Xiaoqiang was kidnapped.
"Where to?" The boatman was a young man of about twenty-five.
Gu Ran took out a map and roughly drew a sea route on it.
Chapter 208 Is he a god?
The sea route drawn by Gu Ran points northeast, passing through the central area of Jeju Island in South Korea and the five islands of Japan.
If the kidnappers are heading this way, there's a high probability you'll run into them.
The kidnappers had another option: to go to Ryukyu in the south.
Gu Ran wasn't worried about that side, since there was an American military base there, and he could use the power of the secret society to monitor the movements in Ryukyu.
"Gentlemen, buckle up!"
The boatman glanced at the map, immediately started the large aircraft, and set sail!
In an instant, the boat they were on shot off like an arrow.
Although Gu Ran and Zhang Wanjun were prepared, they were still knocked off balance by the powerful force.
From a distance, the ship looks as if it's flying close to the water.
That's why it's called Dafei!
After setting sail, Dafei rode the wind and waves on the sea. Gu Ran looked serious and kept his eyes closed, like a radar sensing the Flying Thunder God mark.
He can sense the mark immediately if it appears within 35 kilometers.
After a while, the boatman's satellite phone rang, and he handed it directly to Zhang Wanjun so she could answer it.
Because the engine was very noisy, Zhang Wanjun put on noise-canceling headphones, listened for a couple of minutes, and then called out to Gu Ran:
"The goddess Nuwa has confirmed it. The kidnappers did indeed prepare a speedboat to go out to sea, and their initial direction was indeed northeast."
This proves that Gu Ran's navigation route was correct.
But Zhang Wanjun was worried that the vast ocean could make a huge difference in course if the two speedboats were to deviate even slightly, and it wouldn't be easy for them to meet.
Gu Ran opened his eyes, glanced at the map again, and shouted to the boatman, "Go southeast to the nearest international waters."
The boatman nodded and gave an OK sign to indicate that he had heard him.
He turned the rudder around, and the bow of the ship turned from the northeast to the southeast.
About twenty minutes later, Gu Ran's furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and his expression softened.
He made a stop gesture, signaling the boatman to stop the boat.
Upon seeing his order, the boatman immediately shut off the boat's engine.
Due to inertia, Dafei did not stop immediately and continued to glide on the sea like an arrow.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Wanjun asked.
Gu Ran touched the side of the ship and left a Flying Thunder God mark on it.
"I've found them. I'll go first. You all wait here." As he spoke, he used the Summoning Technique: Lightning Sword Transformation to summon the catfish tail sword from the summoning talisman in his sleeve.
The next moment, he teleported in the direction he sensed, and his figure disappeared instantly in front of the boatman and Zhang Wanjun.
The boatman rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "Holy crap, it's a god!"
He thought he was seeing things; in the blink of an eye, a living person had suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't find Gu Ran anywhere, no matter how he looked around.
Looking up at the sky, only the sun seemed to be smiling through the dark clouds, and there was no one in sight.
Only then did he understand what Gu Ran meant by "going ahead first".
He asked Zhang Wanjun, "What kind of magical spell is this?"
After a moment of silence, Zhang Wanjun finally understood how Gu Ran had appeared on the roof of her car.
I was deeply shocked!
"Teleportation? No, it's spatial creation!"
The Zhang family is an ancient alchemical family in China. Influenced by her family, she naturally knew about the concept of the 'Seven Kingdoms' in alchemy.
The Seven Kingdoms, also known as the Seven Great Achievements of Alchemy, are: Elemental Displacement, Spiritual Reconstruction, Conceptual Armament, Time Reversal, Spatial Creation, Life Creation, and Separation of Cause and Effect.
Gu Ran's teleportation technique... is probably the ability to create space.
Legend has it that those who possess this ability can freely cut and stitch together space, and even create custom spaces.
It's similar to a wormhole in science fiction.
The Zhang family had a rich collection of books. Zhang Wanjun had seen in ancient Chinese books that there were enlightened masters who could shrink the earth to an inch and make the ends of the earth appear within a short distance!
Unexpectedly, her little nephew was like a legendary immortal, also able to do this.
How much talent and bloodline would it take to do that?
If Zhang Qiong, the most talented member of the Zhang family, couldn't do it, then even the most accomplished Vice Principal Flamel of the Secret Party probably couldn't create space!
Is he... still human? Is he a god, a monster, or... a dragon?
In an instant, Zhang Wanjun's thoughts raced.
The Zhang family must pay more attention to Gu Ran and further win him over, or even bind him to their side!
Suddenly, she gave the boatman a cold look.
This ability is amazing; it must not be revealed!
The boatman understood the meaning as soon as he saw that look, and he immediately raised his hands in surrender without any intention of resisting.
He said, "Since Nuwa summoned me, I must be one of her own... Although I'm still very curious about what kind of skills that young man possesses?"
"Didn't Nuwa say that we shouldn't ask or ask?" Hearing Nuwa's name, Zhang Wanjun felt a little relieved, and the murderous intent in her eyes faded considerably.
"Fine, I won't ask, I won't ask. You're the bosses, you make the decisions. Rest assured, I will absolutely not tell anyone about what happened today, not even Nuwa. I swear, I swear!"
For mixed-race people, very few believe in ghosts and gods; they take oaths lightly, as if they were eating bean sprouts.
But Zhang Wanjun still looked away from her murderous gaze; with Nuwa present, she certainly couldn't kill her.
The boatman breathed a sigh of relief. This young lady was a ruthless character. When the murderous intent appeared in her eyes, she was very decisive. It was obvious that she had a lot of blood on her hands.
……
On the other side, five minutes ago.
Another speedboat at sea.
A woman in black and a child of about ten years old were piloting an airship, speeding across the sea.
The woman in black was over forty years old, and the child who looked ten was actually thirty, a true legal loli.
The two were in a very good mood because in half an hour they would arrive at a cruise ship sailing on the high seas.
The cruise ship belongs to Japan and docked at its port at dusk.
The saying goes, "The truly wise live in seclusion," and this plan is flawless.
This cruise ship has always been sailing on the high seas, and can openly refuse helicopters and speedboats from other countries from approaching.
Even if Gu Ran and his group guessed that they were on the yacht, they could only sneak in.
With so many tourists on the cruise ship, a search would take a long time. As soon as they docked, they immediately moved on to the next step of their plan and disappeared.
No one can catch them!
