48 Hours a Day

Two days later, Shen Xixi stood on the deck and looked at the land in the distance that was gradually disappearing from her sight.

The Man in the flowery shirt had just finished checking the sailing route and also walked out of the captain's cabin.

"I've read your medical report and there are no other problems. Only your mental state seems to be a little tired. Is it because you've been too busy recently?"

"Yes. My team and I have been driving around for the past month and a half without much rest,"Shen Xixi said as she took a cup of hot coffee from the man in the flowery shirt.

"Then you can have a good rest now. The journey will probably be very long,"the man in the flowery shirt said. "Of course, if you're bored and want to find some entertainment, you're welcome to come to my room anytime."

"Thank you, but I don't need any entertainment,"Shen Xixi replied.

"Although I already knew that you were using me, it was still unexpected for you to turn hostile so quickly. After getting on the ship, your attitude toward me has visibly cooled down. It's really sad. No matter how nice you say it, I've taken on a lot of pressure to get you on the ship. Not everyone on this ship is as magnanimous as I am and intends to forgive you for what you did in the valley that night."

"It doesn't matter. I didn't board the ship to make friends."Shen Xixi paused and continued, "If you have time to complain, why don't you tell me your next plan? You said you wanted to keep it a secret on land, but now that we're at sea, you can at least tell me."

"Of course, you're also a member of the deep-sea hunters. This request is very reasonable."The man in the flowery shirt touched his chin, "I've always been suspicious of people, but never use them. Since I've decided to let you board the ship, I Won't look at you through colored glasses like the others. What do you want to know?"

"How do we find... the target?"

"We're not going to look for him,"the man in the flowery shirt said slowly, "After Poseidon was killed, the gods have already lost track of him. Although we have all kinds of modern technology, it's probably for nothing. So we need to change our thinking — let him find us."

"How?"

The Man in the flowery shirt smiled mysteriously. "By using bait."

Shen Xixi's expression changed slightly. The man in the flowery shirt seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and laughed involuntarily, "It's not you. Although you have a relationship with Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng is already dead and only has a body left. The one occupying that body is the lord of laraya. He won't have the memories of Zhang Heng before he died. Even if I use you as bait, it's useless."

"Then what's the bait?"

This time, the man in the flowery shirt was in no hurry to answer, "I can tell you now, but this trip is so boring, and you obviously don't plan to do any entertainment during this period. So, I'll leave you with a riddle to guess."

Hearing this, Shen Xixi didn't dwell on this question anymore. She continued to ask, "If... Lord of lalaiya really appears, how are we going to deal with him?"

"This freighter was modified before it set off. It was loaded with torpedoes and missiles. One main cannon and three secondary cannons were hidden under the deck. When there was no one around, they would rise up."

"Haven't these thermal weapons been proven to not have much effect on the target before?"Shen Xixi asked.

"That's right. So the key this time is the ammunition. Whether it's torpedoes, missiles, or primary and secondary cannons, all of them are provided by the Guardians."

"What is this, an extra-large Godslayer Bullet?"Shen Xixi frowned.

"Yes, as far as I know, the blood of the gods alone weighs a few tons. It is said that the Guardian found the most precious healing tool and bled the gods day and night. After that, he healed them and bled them again, repeating it 24 hours a day. "Only then did we gather the required materials,"the man in the flowery shirt said with a face that made people's hearts skip a beat.

"But if he appeared on our ship, wouldn't your weapons be useless?"

"Don't worry, we've definitely considered this before. You'll know when the time comes."

The Man in the flowery shirt said as he fished out a fishing rod from somewhere. "Are there any other questions? You Don't need entertainment. I Need Entertainment."

"Yes, do the gods know about our actions? How are they going to cooperate with us?"

"Those guys aren't reliable at all. Let's not count on them."The Man in the flowery shirt shook his head, "There's a high probability that the final battle this time will be US humans. There are six more ships like this that set off from different ports. As long as one of our teams can succeed, we can save the entire world."

..

Just as the deep sea hunter's ship set off from the harbor, on the other side, in Pluto's mansion, a meeting had reached the most crucial point.

The battle with the Lord of Lalaiya was not going well, causing the gods to split into two factions. One faction advocated to continue fighting in order to protect the world and to protect their own source of power. However, the new faction.., had come up with a new plan.

"The Garden of Eden Plan, are you guys serious?"Ares'face was ashen. He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Admit it, we can't do anything to him. Odin is heavily injured, Zeus'divine artifact, lightning, has been destroyed, and the spirit of the god of science has been contaminated. We don't know when we will be able to recover. We have suffered heavy losses in the previous few battles,"the goddess of life, Isis, said in a deep voice.

"However, there are still many of us. We still have enough strength to continue fighting. It is far from time to give up,"Ares said angrily, "Even those puny humans with short lives have the courage to continue fighting. Are We, as gods, inferior to them?"

"This is not something that can be solved with courage, Ares,"the tarot card god interjected, "We also want to continue fighting, but the premise is that this battle is meaningful and not pushing us to the brink of destruction. While there is still time, we should choose a group of human infants that have not been corrupted by their spirit and bring them to a safe place that they will never find. Teaching them diligently is the only thing we can do."

"Then what about the billions of people outside?"Ares felt that he was about to go crazy.

"There is no other way. We can not take the risk. As long as one person's spirit has been contaminated and brought into the Garden of Eden, he will eventually enter as well. On the contrary, as long as we can guarantee the purity of the Garden of Eden, the humans outside will die out very quickly. This is because that fellow will bring destruction to the land. When the people outside die, he will naturally not be able to continue existing. However, we can still rely on the humans in the Garden of Eden to continue surviving until we return to this land."
