Chapter 657: Save Life

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

No wonder there had briefly been the smell of the ocean before it disappeared.

Ye Mo couldn't see the end of the tunnel even with his spirit sense, but that didn't matter. He immediately proceeded rapidly through the tunnel, keeping his spirit sense activated.

Soon, Ye Mo realized this tunnel hadn't been dug recently. It must have been at least a few months old. Who would dig a tunnel there months in advance? What was their purpose? Did they foresee Luo Yue building a military camp? That was impossible.

The tunnel sloped increasingly steeply, and seawater began seeping in. The tunnel connected to the sea ahead.

Ye Mo stopped where the water was deepest and found the ground unusual. A strange entrance was there. Suddenly, two black men crawled out.

Ye Mo moved aside. After the two left the entrance, they quickly ran back the way Ye Mo had come, as if they'd left something behind.

At that moment, Ye Mo realized the entrance sloped downward, and the tunnel continued to descend. A few hundred meters further, his spirit sense detected a nuclear submarine. Its door was closed.

A nuclear submarine hidden under Bali, evading Luo Yue's radar? Alarm bells rang in Ye Mo's mind. Even if Luo Yue's radar wasn't the most advanced, how could a nuclear submarine remain undetected under his fleet? This was absurd! What if they attacked? Was it American?

He doubted it. If US radar-avoidance technology were that powerful, how could they have lost the last war?

He had to tell Ye Xing immediately. Only Ye Xing could devise a solution.

This tunnel had been built to bring people to the submarine. After entering, the tunnel could collapse. Such an intricate design! The creator was no less ingenious than Ye Xing.

Since the submarine was there, the five missing people should be too. Ye Mo's first thought was to rescue them; otherwise, the US would use this as a pretext for war.

But Ye Mo hesitated. The two men hadn't returned to the storage room; they stopped halfway.

One man pressed a remote, and another tunnel appeared in the stone wall, leading to a room.

Ye Mo cursed—these people were too cautious! Without his invisibility and perfect timing, he wouldn't have found this.

Five people were inside: three women and two men. They were the missing tourists.

Ye Mo no longer planned to approach the submarine; he needed to save them first. The submarine was important—he might find answers there—but he didn't want to alarm anyone yet.

Ye Mo marked the tunnel leading to the submarine and quickly followed the two men into the room.

After Ye Mo entered, the two black men spoke to the captives. Three tried to persuade the mother and daughter. An argument erupted.

Ye Mo sensed something was wrong and began filming. After a while, the two black men left, but didn't close the door. The argument escalated until one man slapped the mother!

He then spoke to the other man and woman and left with them, closing the door behind him. Only the British mother and daughter remained. They looked more like sisters; their age difference was minimal.

Ye Mo shook his head. He decided to learn more languages. It wouldn't be difficult, and he couldn't afford to remain perpetually confused.

After the five left for the submarine tunnel, Ye Mo opened the door and entered.

The other three seemed persuaded to join the black men.

Even if they weren't together, Ye Mo only needed to save the mother and daughter. Once Luo Yue's danger passed, he could focus on the submarine.

The two looked at Ye Mo in confusion.

Ye Mo said, “I came to save you. If you don't understand, it doesn't matter. I can take you away.”

“You’re Chinese?” the younger girl asked in Chinese, though Ye Mo barely understood her.

Ye Mo rejoiced. “I'm from Luo Yue. A British mother and daughter went missing, and everyone suspects Luo Yue. I want to save them. Are you that pair?”

“Yes, yes, I'm Annie, and this is my mother, Kaya. We were tricked here, and we know those people, but—” Annie hesitated.

Ye Mo wanted to send them away and then follow the submarine. He could leave Xu Yuehua to deal with them.

Just as Ye Mo led them out, two more people entered the tunnel. Ye Mo's spirit sense detected them, so he grabbed the two and darted back into the storage room.

Annie instinctively tried to scream but couldn't. Ye Mo said, “Don’t worry, you two walk too slowly, so I had to carry you.”

Annie understood and said, embarrassed, “Sorry, what is your name?”

Ye Mo lacked the time for pleasantries. He needed to remove them without arousing suspicion.

As Ye Mo released them, Kaya pinched his arm and said something before kissing him.

Annie laughed and also kissed him. “You’re really strong! My mother says you haven’t told us your name yet.”

“I’m Ye Mo.” Ye Mo quickly pulled them up. Kaya's chest was the largest Ye Mo had ever seen, but he felt nothing; his heart belonged to Luo Ying and Ning Qingxue.

But Ye Mo wasn't foolish. Kaya's hug was flirtatious, suggesting ulterior motives.

Seeing Kaya about to speak, Ye Mo said, “We need to leave quickly; they're catching up.”

Because of Kaya's behavior, Ye Mo stopped carrying them, slowing them down.

By the time Ye Mo pushed up the metal board and the storage room rumbled, Ye Mo knew they'd caught up. He hadn't expected them to be so fast.
