Chapter 57 – Life hanging by a thread (2)

Moments ago, the connection with Qi Mo, Red Falcon and the rest, it was possible to hear it clearly, so Jiao Wen and Yellow Falcon knew that everyone had already embarked in the submarine, but right now, the connection didn't seem to go through. When Yellow Falcon heard Jiao Wen's words, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Those words were right. Qi Mo is not someone who impulsively deals with things. Since he chose to go, he surely has a fail-safe way to come back. This was Qi Mo's unyielding nature.

Meanwhile, the submerged submarine was facing even more intense fluctuation. Li Hu's hand could barely hold the pulsating lever. All the bad reports were focused on the fact that all parts of the submarine were breaking down. Under such tremendous pressure, there appeared some irreparable breakdowns.

"Stop the oxygen supply."

"Stop the drainage."

"Raise the hull and lower the hydraulic strength."

A series of orders were sent from Li Hu's mouth and the rest of the people inside the captain's room calmly and rapidly complied to them.

"Stop all equipment."

A grim voice suddenly came and Li Hu didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Qi Mo who arrived.

"Stop all auxiliary equipment."

Li Hu didn't hesitate in the slightest and immediately passed on the command. At the same time, he quickly got up to exchange places with Qi Mo.

Qi Mo sat down on the captain's seat, holding with one hand the constantly pulsating lever, pressing it downwards with all of his strength and then firmly holding it. At the same time the control lights rapidly lifted one after another at the front, and he spoke with a deep voice: "Except for the captain's room, the rest of the illumination will turn off, and all the power will be used to increase our speed."

"Yes."

"Operation ceased."

"Illumination suspended."

"Docking halted."

"Power on. Full acceleration." A succinct and calm voice methodically came out. Even if there was a ferocious tiger at the rear, but thousands of times more devastating than a tiger, or ten thousand times more than a water demon, he would still show this kind of extraordinary calm.

Inside the ship's cabin, the crack behind Li Xin kept expanding. The assault by the crazy water column has already made her body lose its perception of pain. The lights were suddenly extinguished and the device to adjust the temperature stopped working. It started to heat up so fast that it was suddenly hard for people to breath inside that place. The water was rapidly entering and its level already spread from the calf to the waist, and it was quickly moving towards the chest level. Li Xin gritted her teeth. At the present moment, Death was waiting right ahead, and Qi Mo was the only one she could rely on.

All the other auxiliary equipment was stopped, and the submarine was only with its power equipment working, so its speed finally got raised to its highest. Qi Mo strongly pressed and held the control lever which was pulsating incessantly, and stared at the heading indicator at the front which was struggling to come to a halt, finally saying in a heavy voice: "Contact Yellow Falcon, tell him we need his assistance."

Li Hu immediately nodded and noticed that all systems in the control panel had already stopped. He quickly adjusted the communication device in his ear, which was the internal communication channel between him and White Falcon. Presently, the connection channel between the submarine and the warship has been cut off. The submarine wasn’t sustaining the signal connection, so they can only rely on establishing a connection channel between him and White Falcon.

"Master, Master, have you received the signal? Did you get the signal?" At the warship, Yellow Falcon was rapidly retreating as he continuously tried to contact the sub where Qi Mo was. The unresponsive noise made Jiao Wen's and Yellow Falcon's eyebrows furrow even more.

"Yellow Falcon."  

Another signal was suddenly transmitted, and Yellow Falcon saw White Falcon's screen abruptly appear before him.

"Southwest, at forty-three degrees, Master's sub will arrive there in a minute. Your aid is required. Hurry up, Master's sub already has a critical leakage and can only hold out for one minute at most."

White Falcon kept scanning for a signal in another place as he talked with Yellow Falcon with a solemn face.

Yello Falcon heard that and immediately adjusted the ship's course and sailed at full speed towards the angle that White Falcon gave, saying: "Keep this connection, I need to know the specifics."

"Ok."

White Falcon didn't make use of any unnecessary words as he quickly typed something on the keyboard to Li Hu and re-sent his written communication.

"Master, we have forty-four seconds left to meet with Yellow Falcon. The huge wave behind will approach us within five seconds." Li Hu glanced at his wristwatch and calmly spoke.

Qi Mo said nothing and listened to the creaking sound of the sub, feeling its violent sways before saying in a deep voice: "Prepare"

No answer was heard, only calm breathing sounds. Inside the captain's room, the quietness was reciprocal. Four, three, two, one. Only one sound was uttered at the same time that all the operations were simultaneously pressed. Qi Mo coldly snorted as he instantly raised the propeller to its maximum capacity. Within the second that the huge wave was about to strike, all of the equipment that was initially suspended completely erupted in an instant. Only the rustling sound of the equipment could be heard. The submarine, which seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, abruptly sprang off and shot forward like a sharp arrow flying.

The intense shaking of the submarine was felt, but this strong sensation was immediately reduced. All the noise instantly ceased, and the pressure suddenly disappeared. Inside of the sub's cabin, Li Xin let out a breath of relief and felt the freezing seawater that was already at her throat. It was ice-cold, but her heart was warm.

"Inform Yellow Falcon to be ready for docking." Qi Mo passed on the command with the same indifferent face and the same cold voice. The sub is already with a serious leaking. If Yellow Falcon is unable to meet them, then they will have to swim back across the Atlantic Ocean one by one.

The sub was lifted and began to surface. The submarine seemed to be flying as it obliquely scratched the water surface while going upward. The light could be seen getting stronger and stronger as the sea surface was quickly approached.

At this moment, Yellow Falcon was doing his utmost as he rushed with the warship, turning its backside to the direction of forty-three degrees, where Qi Mo and the others would soon emerge from. Quickly opening the warship's rear, its gigantic rear-part was surprisingly raised upwards, and a spacious docking cabin was soon exposed in the water.

Jiao Wen looked at the surveillance camera of the ship and saw that all the cabins had been opened and only two seconds remained. He turned to Yellow Falcon and said: "Speed up and go." Yellow Falcon heard the sound of the equipment being pressed, and then the warship's speed was instantly increased to its peak.

At the same time, the submarine Qi Mo was piloting was coming obliquely out of the water as it scratched the water surface, charging towards the warship's opened docking cabin. Soon, the warship's speed slowed, and the submarine's speed got faster. The two ships would definitely be destroyed by such collision. Inside the captain's room, Jiao Wen and Yellow Falcon tightly clenched their fists and stared until the completion of the docking process.

Qi Mo was in the submarine and due to closing off all the auxiliary facilities, he was utterly blind to what was happening outside, so he could only measure what was going on by the passing of time. Seeing that a minute had passed, Qi Mo immediately pushed back the lever in his hand and shut down the power device. The submarine's speed gradually slowed down and rushed forward according to the inertia. The speed of the submarine was maintained at the same speed as that of the warship. Jiao Wen and Yellow Falcon immediately brandished their fists. It was finished.

The submarine entered the dock of the warship with no problems, and Yellow Falcom immediately closed the rear part. The warship sailed away in the distance while carrying the submarine in its interior.

Tucked into the inner part of the warship, Li Hu snapped his fingers and said with relief: "Master, the docking is completed."

Qi Mo nodded his head cooly and glanced at his clothes that got wet by the seawater. With a swish sound, he stood up and walked towards the cabin.

Li Hu followed along and saw from the corner of the eye that Jiao Wen's subordinates wore expressions of shock and worship as they looked at Qi Mo. Li Hu couldn’t help but raise his brows and display an air of arrogance all over his face. It was only Qi Mo who could pilot the sub so well, and it was also only Qi Mo who was able to accomplish something that seemed impossible. Steady, calm, with brilliant methods and unconditional trust in them, this was their Master, this was the revered Master whom they pledged their lifelong devotion.

Inside the cabin, watching the seawater flowing out, Li Xin plumped to the floor and discovered that her face was streaming with sweat, and she was sure that this sweat wasn't water. It was too intense, everything was really too intense. She wasn't feeling it before, but now that she relaxed, all those feelings came rushing through her body. Is this what it's called 'being in the brink of death type of feeling'? This is too frightening. It’s too much thrill to be taken at once.

The lights were suddenly switched on, and Li Xin couldn't help but slightly frown. After getting a little used to the lighting, she saw Qi Mo at the cabin's door calmly staring at her. Instantly, another type of fear seeped through her body. It's over. She's screwed. Everything happened so that she could be saved.
