After Dawn was attacked, it immediately continued to flee northward and likely met its defeat in Area A4 before sinking to the seabed in Area A7.

This was, after all, only Chilton’s speculation.

But if the wreckage of a sunken ship could be found here, it would mean their direction wasn’t wrong.

Chilton stood on the deck, looking at Yesenia, “It’s up to you now, search the surrounding three-mile radius, and if you find remnants of the shipwreck, haul them up for analysis.”

Yesenia nodded and dived into the water.

After half an hour, she emerged excitedly from the water, “Keep moving ahead, I found a cannon from the Dawn about 1.2 miles in front. Bring the crabbing boat over there, I’ll tie it down with ropes and we’ll haul it up.”

Chilton, with a full-faced smile, said, “If it’s a mid-19th century manually-made naval cannon, we can sell this one for 250,000 euros. But that’s not the most crucial point; if the cannon sank into the water, that means from the beginning, Dawn’s deck was blasted apart, no wonder they fled in panic. We might be really close to the shipwreck.”

While talking, Yesenia even threw two slender fish onto the deck from the water below.

Those were what she had caught from the seabed continental shelf’s sands, proving she really had dived to the seabottom.

“What kind of fish are these? They look pretty amusing, can they be kept alive?” Yangyang squatted beside the two fish and asked Qing Chen.

Qing Chen said calmly, “Greenland Halibut, usually dwelling in the sandy layers of continental shelves, these fish can’t survive long after being brought ashore, because without the deep-sea pressure, all their organs will fail.”

“No pressure?” Yangyang thought for a moment and said to the Greenland Halibut in a low voice, “Do you own a house, do you have a girlfriend?”

Qing Chen: “…It’s not that kind of pressure!”

“Oh,” Yangyang stood up, “Then let’s cook them for dinner.”

One hour later, Yesenia returned to the sea floor with ropes from the boat.

As the hoist started, the rope was continually pulled up, bringing Yesenia and a black cannon, covered with rust and shellfish, to the surface.

Chilton’s eyes lit up as he said, “This should be one of the last batches of front-loading smoothbore cannons from the mid-19th century, and it’s British, which fits the characteristics of the Dawn! After that era, it was the time of ironclad ships and rifled breech-loading cannons. We’ve found the right spot!”

As they spoke, Old John placed the cannon body on the deck, and Chilton along with another young man excitedly went up to untie the ropes and moved it to a sunny spot to examine closely.

Qing Chen felt a wave of relief; these people were working so hard to find the shipwreck for him.

Zhang Jian saw the two men straining to lift the cannon body and suddenly remembered how effortless it was for Qing Chen and Yangyang to lift the crab cages.

He looked at Yesenia’s fatigued expression after returning to the boat and then remembered the spirited way Qing Chen had returned to the boat after his slaughter at sea.

Zhang Jian realized, so even among Time Travelers, there were differences…

He wondered if these people knew that the ‘cook’ who made them simple sandwiches for lunch was a even more formidable Time Traveler than they were?

And the girl beside Qing Chen seemed quite capable too, not panicking at all in the face of danger.

He turned his head just in time to see Qing Chen looking at him with a knowing smile, as if he had seen through Zhang Jian’s thoughts.

Zhang Jian hurriedly bowed his head, feeling somewhat unable to meet Qing Chen’s gaze any longer…

However, just as everyone was jubilant, two ships appeared in the distance on the sea.

One was a freighter equipped with a huge crane, the other turned out to be a luxury yacht.

“Is that Rondo?” a young man said, “He’s coming to meet us.”

But Chilton took out a telescope and took a look, then said, “No, the freighter is Rondo’s, but that yacht is the ‘Radiant Trumpet’, Rondo can’t afford a yacht like that?!”

The Radiant Trumpet was a very famous yacht, 109 meters long, almost three times the size of the Arctic.

The yacht even had a helipad and could use water cannons to fend off pirates.

Yesenia’s face turned a bit pale, “I heard, last month, the Radiant Trumpet was bought by Capri from the Future Organization, it even made the news. Rondo sold us out, he has used us as a bargaining chip to join the Future Organization!”

Chilton’s face grew solemn upon hearing this. Capri was a very high-profile Time Traveler of the Future Organization, a C-Class Expert.

Moreover, Capri was a Time Traveler possessing Taboo items, with an unusual status within the Future Organization.

If he was here, he certainly wasn’t alone; who knew how many Time Travelers might be aboard that yacht.

Chilton said coldly, “We shouldn’t have shared the speculated location with Rondo; indeed, you can’t trust anyone in this world; you can only trust yourself.”

“Should we run?” Yesenia asked, “Although Rondo knows about locations A1-A7, without a water-system Awakener to survey, they won’t find the shipwreck spot immediately.”

Qing Chen suddenly said from the side, “The Radiant Trumpet’s maximum speed is 22 knots, this crabbing boat’s is 20 at best, and we can’t maintain that speed, so they will catch up sooner or later. And nowadays the best underwater detectors can dive to 11,000 meters. Whoever can afford the Radiant Trumpet wouldn’t skimp on expensive diving detectors…”

Yesenia glared at Qing Chen, annoyed, “What do you, a crabber, know?”

Qing Chen looked out to sea and said no more.

Ordinarily, smaller boats tend to be faster, but there’s also a point of comparison; the Radiant Trumpet alone cost 320 million US dollars, so it running faster than some small boats is quite normal…

Chilton suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, “Let’s wait here; we are the prey, they are the hunters.”

At that moment, from the radio communication system of the Arctic, Capri’s enthusiastic voice came through, “Good afternoon, friends aboard Penguin Ship, I wonder if you welcome visitors from the Future Organization?”
