The standard shotgun box remains missing, causing Liu Yong to feel increasingly uneasy after more than two hours.
"What's the issue? Why am I unable to locate it? Could it be possible that it's not in this sea area and the problem lies elsewhere?"
Liu Yong wondered, feeling perplexed.
Liu Yong was inevitable that the location was correct and that the police would avoid making such a significant mistake. Since the other party had not made an error, he wondered where the weapons box could have disappeared.
"It must be the ocean currents!"
Liu Yong exclaimed, realizing that they were likely responsible for the disappearance of the box.
Liu Yong knew that the sea was not still but had a current. He understood that if the box of weapons had been thrown from the water's surface, it would have sunk to a depth of seven or eight hundred meters.
Under the action of ocean currents, it does not sink vertically but instead deviates and is carried away by a certain distance by ocean currents.
Upon realizing this, Liu Yong's spirits lifted slightly, and he said,
"Boss, the location is correct. It's possible that the box of weapons has drifted from its landing point due to the impact of ocean currents. We should expand the search area. I believe we can find it."
After speaking, Liu Yong looked at the time again.
It was noon, and they had at least two more hours to search. Liu Yong hoped they could find the box of standard shotguns within this time frame.
Bawang replied:
"Okay master, I will expand the search area according to your instructions."
So, Overlord got busy again.
They searched carefully for the box of standard shotguns, each passing minute feeling like an eternity.
Liu Yong instructed Bawang to expand the search area and drove alone to the seaside warehouse. He had faith that Bawang would find the box, so he decided to go to the warehouse beforehand and wait for him there.
Walking into this giant warehouse, I thought to myself, this warehouse is magnificent, the area is large enough, and it is convenient enough.
The golden nanmu and huanghuali wood previously stacked in the warehouse had been transported away, leaving the warehouse empty.
Liu Yong surveyed the empty warehouse with contentment and was about to contact Bawang to inquire about the search's progress. However, before he could do so, Bawang got him first.
"Master, I found a shipwreck."
Liu Yong was astonished to hear from Bawang so soon, grateful for such good fortune. While he had only intended to assist the police in searching for the box of standard shotguns at the bottom of the sea, he now stumbled upon a surprising discovery. It reminded him of the phrase.
"planting willows to create shade."
Liu Yong was astounded by the surprise discovery. He never imagined that he would come across a sunken ship while helping to salvage the box of shotguns at the bottom of the sea.
"Overlord, what kind of shipwreck is it?"
Bawang has already looked around the shipwreck, and better understands the situation.
"It is a shipwreck of wooden structure, lying on the bottom of the sea, with a broken mast, and a cannon."
Liu Yong listened to Bawang's description and deduced that this should be a warship from more than a hundred years ago.
"Master, do you want to dismantle this ship and see what good things are inside?"
Bawang was already quite large in stature, and if he were to swim into the sunken ship, he would likely be hindered by the tight spaces within.
After so many years on the bottom of the sea, the ship's wooden structure is exceptionally decayed, and it takes little effort to disassemble it. Overlord can efficiently complete it.
It was estimated that it would take a few days to disassemble the ship into a pile of timber, but there needed to be more time available.
Despite the temptation to have Bawang search for the sunken ship, Liu Yong resisted and reminded him that they needed to prioritize finding the box of shotguns due to time constraints. He suggested that they remember the sunken ship's location and return to dismantle it after seeing the box of shotguns.
"Okay, follow the master's orders."
The Overlord swam around the sunken ship again, carefully looked at its condition, and especially remembered its location.
Liu Yong then left the warehouse and resumed his search for the box of weapons. After another 20 to 30 minutes had passed, he couldn't help but raise his hand several times to check the time.
To ease his anxieties, Liu Yong reminded himself to remain calm and not rush the search. He reassured himself that there was still plenty of time left before it got dark, and he could continue searching for the box of weapons without haste.
"Master, I found it!"
Just as Liu Yong was under pressure and comforting himself, Bawang's cheerful voice sounded in his mind.
Hearing the news, Liu Yong felt relieved and said happily:
"Great, I finally found the things. Bring them to the warehouse right away. I'll wait in the warehouse."
Bawang held the box in his mouth and headed towards this seaside warehouse at full speed. For such a long distance, if it were an ordinary salvage ship, it would take about three hours to sail at full speed. Bawang arrived in about 40 minutes.
There was movement from the wide waterway connecting the warehouse to the sea, the waves rolled, and a giant snapping turtle appeared from the channel.
It climbed directly into the warehouse and gently placed the box in front of Liu Yong,
"Master, my mission is complete, I'm going to take a look at the sunken ship now."
Liu Yong looked at the giant snapping turtle in front of him with satisfaction and gently touched its massive head,
"If you are tired, rest first. The sunken ship can't run away anyway after you have enough rest, eat and drink." It's enough and not too late to go there."
"Master, I'm not tired, I'm going there now."
He stretched out his big tongue and licked Liu Yong's hand gently, very intimately, then crawled towards the waterway, along this waterway to the sea.
Liu Yong watched it leave. He was delighted when he saw the Overlord covered in armor, and his tail seemed covered with scales.
Its four claws are solid and robust, with sharp claw tips, which seem to have a black luster, a bit like metal luster, and a huge head. Liu Yong just noticed that the teeth in Bawang's mouth are large and sharp.
No wonder it can dominate this sea area. I don't know what it will look like when it grows to tens, hundreds, or thousands of tons.
Liu Yong couldn't help but see the appearance of Godzilla in his mind. Overlord may become such a behemoth in the future, and he is the Overlord of the ocean.
After watching the Overlord leave, Liu Yong's eyes fell on this box. This iron box was sprayed with white foreign codes, representing the shotguns' batch, model, and other information.
"What does the standard shotgun in country M look like?"
Liu Yong put on his prepared white gloves and opened the box, revealing the ten shotguns inside.
He picked up one of them and looked at it for a while.
Like many men, Liu Yong had an affinity for guns and was no exception. Seeing the real guns in front of him, he was reluctant to let them go and held onto them for a while.
After looking at it for a few minutes, he put the gun into the box, closed it again, and then took out his mobile phone to call Gao Dake of the Eastern District Bureau.
