Qin Ke Wei was very happy. Even at the brink of death, Yue Heng Yi could still think of her. Meeting such a man in her lifetime was already worth it.
However, Qin Ke Wei slowly took off the necklace from her chest. Even though the ruby was crystal clear and the necklace was made of platinum, she still took it off and returned it to Yue Heng Yi, saying, "I don't want your necklace now. I hope you will give it to me publicly after we overcome this crisis. I will happily accept it then, but for now, we cannot give up fighting!"
Yue Heng Yi looked at the gem necklace that couldn't be given away and said somewhat dejectedly, "But we might not survive. Aren't you even willing to fulfill this small wish for me?"
"If we don't survive, won't it be even more romantic for us to die fighting side by side?" Qin Ke Wei retorted.
Upon hearing Qin Ke Wei's explanation, Yue Heng Yi was stunned for a moment. Then, after thinking about it, he felt it made sense. The situation was dire, the sea was turbulent, and they were unlikely to survive. It was better to die together. If anyone knew what happened at sea, they would probably be envious.
"Sister Qin, brace yourself. I'm going to use my ability!" Yue Heng Yi's eyes gradually became firm.
After boarding the ship, Yue Heng Yi had basically not used his ability. The reason was simple: the range of influence was too large. Apart from himself, the gravity in the surrounding area was unbearable for ordinary people. Therefore, to avoid affecting others, Yue Heng Yi had been restraining his ability.
But now, everyone was surrounded by sea beasts, and even the soldiers on the fleet had fainted. All hope of leaving the sea had vanished. Yue Heng Yi could no longer care about that. Before dying, he would go out in a final frenzy.
Qin Ke Wei quickly lay flat on the mattress, ensuring the force was evenly distributed. Fang Qing Hao could only grit his teeth, thinking, "This is bad, I'm going to be tormented by this kid again!"
Yue Heng Yi took a deep breath and shouted, "Five times gravity field!"
Within a one-kilometer radius centered on Yue Heng Yi, gravity instantly increased. Many people on the ship were directly thrown into the water by the powerful gravity, and then had to face the scorching water temperature, which was simply unbearable.
The five times gravity field was the move Yue Heng Yi could unleash at his limit. The surrounding gravity instantly increased, and within its range, all objects would be affected by their own weight.
Shen Feng happened to be within the gravity field. Chang Hao Jie's white clouds could only carry the weight of three people. As a result, the gravity field instantly increased, and five times the gravity pressed down on Chang Hao Jie. The white clouds beneath his feet could not withstand such weight and immediately dissipated. Chang Hao Jie and Li Ke Yi also fell into the sea.
At the same time, Shen Feng was also affected by the gravity field, and his body instantly became heavy. The ribs of the parachute on his back were made of aluminum alloy, which should have been very sturdy and lightweight. But no matter the material, it had its limits. When the stress on the material reached its critical point, it would instantly break.
"Clang, clang..." Shen Feng was shocked to find that the ribs of the parachute on his back were breaking continuously at that moment. The parachute lost its balance, and Shen Feng could no longer maintain his gliding state. He instantly plummeted downwards.
"Ugh, so heavy!" Qin Ke Wei, although somewhat prepared and having tried her best to lie flat, still felt an immense weight pressing down on her at that moment. Even moving would be affected.
Fang Qing Hao's fracture worsened. He had already been fitted with a splint, but gravity acted on the entire body. Therefore, the bones that had been set showed signs of breaking again.
"Damn it, we didn't die by the hands of the sea beasts, but we're going to die by our own people!" Fang Qing Hao couldn't help but complain.
Yue Heng Yi was already exerting his full ability. The sea beasts that were originally close to them felt their bodies uncontrollably sinking downwards after entering the gravity field, and their internal organs were directly affected. The reason sea beasts couldn't come ashore was that the seawater provided buoyancy, and their bones and internal organs wouldn't experience too much pressure. Once they came ashore, sea beasts would be unable to breathe due to their own weight, just like whales. If they were stranded, they would surely die. Their heavy weight was both their advantage and their disadvantage.
Thus, the sea beasts began to move away from the gravity field created by Yue Heng Yi. Even the dolphins were rapidly moving away from the gravity field.
As the sea beasts left one by one, the temperature of the seawater instantly dropped. The boiling seawater was caused by the sea beasts' abilities. Now that the sea beasts had left, and the distant seawater had replenished, the water temperature immediately decreased.
"Plop..." The three people who were in the air all fell into the water. Although they were wearing life jackets, they were still sinking continuously.
After falling into the water, Shen Feng couldn't help but curse, "Yue Heng Yi, you little scoundrel! You're dying and you have to take us with you? I knew I shouldn't have bothered with you!"
Shen Feng had intended to use "water walking" to keep himself afloat on the water. However, in the five times gravity field, Shen Feng's weight was also five times his original weight. The strong wind could not keep him afloat on the water.
As for Yue Heng Yi, upon discovering that Shen Feng had also fallen into the water, he couldn't help but laugh, "You have the nerve to talk about me? You guys up in the sky were so carefree. No sea beast could attack you from the air. Now we're sharing the hardship, so you won't abandon us and run off alone."
After falling into the water, Shen Feng quickly patted the surrounding water to keep himself afloat. Fortunately, the sea beasts had moved away from this sea area. Otherwise, he would have been attacked by sea beasts the moment he fell into the water.
Gong Chang Fa was lying on one side of the wooden board, with Xun Yan lying on it. He had just watched his good brother Zhu Kai being hit into the sky by a dolphin's tail, and his grief was unbearable. Now, the sea beasts were still lurking, and he thought he wouldn't live long.
"Oh God, are you really going to let all of us die at sea?" Gong Chang Fa sighed to the sky. A man of iron resolve was shedding tears at this moment. His brother's death had stimulated Gong Chang Fa, and at this moment, Gong Chang Fa finally understood one thing: no matter how powerful ability users were, they would eventually die.
In the distance, Andorf and Natalie were also on a wooden board. However, due to the increased gravity, the wooden board had sunk considerably, and the warm seawater had soaked their clothes.
"We can hold on for a while longer. The sea beasts dare not approach within the gravity field, but as soon as the gravity field breaks, it will be our death!" Andorf said in a deep voice.
"You are so powerful. It is said that you killed over three million zombies in Germany. Do you have a solution now?" Natalie quickly asked.
At this point, Natalie still pinned her hopes on Andorf, hoping that he could turn the tide. Andorf was very powerful, even in Europe, he was respected by everyone. At this moment, only he could bring some hope.
However, Andorf's face was filled with bitterness. He then said, "If I were on land, I could trigger earthquakes. In cities, no matter how many zombies there were, they would all be killed by earthquakes. But now, we are at sea. Earthquakes can at most trigger tsunamis. If I can't touch the sea beasts, my ability is completely useless for combat!"
Hearing this, Natalie was completely despairing. It turned out that no matter how powerful an ability user was, when facing absolute power, they could only wait for death.
Just then, in the northern ocean, a long cry suddenly came: "Wuuu..."
This cry was majestic and high-pitched, sounding like thousands of troops charging. The immense sound even caused the nearby waves to become violent. And when this cry fell into people's ears, it instilled a sense of fear in their hearts.
When Shen Feng heard this cry, the fear in his mind reached its peak. At this moment, he even wanted to kneel down.
However, after the cry, Shen Feng returned to normal, and the previous feeling of fear disappeared.
"Holy cow, what is this? Why does a single cry make me feel fear?" Shen Feng came back to his senses and felt a sense of lingering fear. The sea beasts hadn't even appeared yet, and just hearing the cry made him feel afraid. He wondered what kind of monster was coming!
As Shen Feng was wondering, Natalie's ultrasound detected an anomaly in the sea. A colossal creature suddenly appeared in the northern sea. This was different from ordinary sea beasts. Its sheer size far surpassed that of ordinary sea beasts, with a body length of one kilometer. As it moved, other sea beasts also slowly approached.
Finally, over thirty sea beasts followed this colossal creature, like a majestic general leading his subordinates. The largest sea beast then slowly surfaced, revealing its true form: a giant blue whale. This creature, once the largest animal on Earth, was still enormous in the apocalypse, and possibly the largest animal in the world!
"A blue whale! The leader of these sea beasts is this blue whale!" everyone exclaimed. It turned out that there were leaders among these sea beasts. Such a massive sea beast could swallow hundreds of people in a single gulp. Humans were even thinner than the blue whale's baleen. No wonder the sea beasts' actions were so planned; it was the blue whale directing them.
The blue whale slowly surfaced from the water, and its massive body appeared before everyone like a small island. The blue whale then let out another cry: "Wuuu..."
Another high-pitched and long cry rang out, and fear once again appeared in everyone's minds. The sea beast side also changed. Five orcas suddenly swam to the forefront and then began to swim side by side. Orcas are social animals and never attack humans. If they encountered humans at sea, they would immediately move away.
It was precisely because of this habit of orcas to immediately move away from humans that humans mistakenly believed orcas were good friends of humans. Since orcas never ate humans, they were naturally good friends.
However, this was a clever strategy by the orcas. Orcas knew how terrifying the small human race was, so they never dared to approach humans. As for the attitude of orcas towards humans, it might not be particularly good, especially now!
The five orcas then began to charge side by side. As they swam, the waves were stirred up, and their massive bodies swam together, directly creating a monstrous wave fifty meters high.
"Rumble..." As the wave advanced, it made a deafening sound, like a waterfall falling from the sky. The sound of the waves falling into the pool drowned out human voices.
At this moment, the five orcas completely ignored the influence of the five times gravity field and brought a fifty-meter-high wave. Their synchronized movements were as if they had rehearsed.
Yue Heng Yi was shocked to see this. He hadn't expected his methods, which had always worked on land, to be so ineffective at sea. Seeing the orcas approaching, he could only tightly embrace Qin Ke Wei and face the giant wave with his back.
Sea beasts in the five times gravity zone would be unable to move freely due to their own weight, and even suffer damage from the immense gravity. Therefore, sea beasts would not easily approach Yue Heng Yi's gravity field. Many ability users also endured the immense gravity and stayed within the gravity field.
However, the orcas ignored this. After swimming side by side, their massive bodies stirred up the waves, and the waves carried their bodies. The movement of the waves formed a momentum, and the orcas rode the momentum of the waves, momentarily counteracting the effect of gravity.
"Boom..." The fifty-meter-high wave instantly swept through the gravity field. The ability users within the gravity field were violently thrown into the sea by the waves. Whether it was wooden boards, ship planks, or mattresses, they all tumbled in front of the giant waves and were even torn apart by the waves.
"Gulp..." Shen Feng, after falling into the water, quickly swam upwards. Fortunately, at this moment, the gravity field returned to normal, and Shen Feng was able to use his ability to stand on the water. Looking around, on the vast sea, he was the only ability user floating on the water.
