Sir! Don't close the net!

"Good morning, Secretary Alma, and good night."

"Ugh, goodnight... my foot..."

Seeing that Li Yili looked like she was about to fall asleep, Alma strode up to Li Yili, grabbed her collar, and shook her violently back and forth.

"Wake up—Revis Est. Richard, wake up—now is not the time to fall asleep!"

“Secretary Alma, it’s not even dawn yet,” Li Yili said sleepily, pulling a pocket watch from her pocket and waving it at Alma. “It’s only this early. As the top figure in the Instas Capital hierarchy, it’s unusual for me to be up at this time.”

"Something's wrong!" Alma gritted her teeth and forcefully dragged Li Yili's body, which was gradually relaxing and trying to lie down.

Upon hearing something amiss, Li Yili immediately snapped back to reality. "What happened?!"

Seeing that Li Yili had finally regained consciousness, Alma breathed a sigh of relief, her face serious. "All the residents of Instas have gathered on the shore!"

“All? Are you sure it’s all?” Li Yili’s eyes immediately drooped. “Did you see Austin? By the way, are you sure about the entire population of Instas?”

Alma hesitated. The phrase "all the residents of Instas" was too straightforward and full of flaws. In fact, she hadn't seen Austin's face, but...

Does it matter whether Austin's face appears or not?

Alma successfully stumped Li Yili.

Does it matter whether the person who has already been replaced has appeared?

"Hiss—Secretary Alma, I have to admit, what you said makes a lot of sense this time," Li Yili pinched the bridge of her nose hard, her drowsy head clearing up a bit under the sea breeze.

"There are a lot of people, right?"

Li Yili turned around and went through the door, waved away the strong smell of alcohol, and went to the window. She opened the window to let the sea breeze pass through the living room and take away some of the smell of alcohol.

“Yes, a lot, so many that my first thought was that all the residents of Instasus had come,” Alma said, pinching her nose as she followed behind Li Yili.

"This is really subtle..."

Li Yili rested her hands on the window, gazing in the direction of the Mercury Queen Pier.

In the past, he might have suspected someone was playing tricks, but in the last two days he has witnessed the anticipation of the Instas residents for Zig to go to the Sea of ​​the Dead.

It could also be his own expectation.

They were simply trying to live in that way, so they saw Zieg, who lived his own life, as the hope of the whole village.

It's quite common for an entire village to send its only college student to university.

Human nature is always ambiguous, which is why it's impossible for people to be completely disappointed.

"Yeah, right..."

Li Yili grinned.

"Huh? What did you just say, Minister?" Alma, who was opening other windows because she couldn't stand the smell of alcohol, turned to look at Li Yili.

"It doesn't matter what, Secretary Alma," Li Yili leisurely swayed back onto the sofa, moved the wine bottle aside, plopped down on the sofa, shifted her body to a more comfortable position, and spread her hands to her sides. "Let them have their gathering, what can they do to stop us?"

Of course, it would be a real pain if all the residents of Instas revolted to stop them, but since Alma was able to come to him unharmed and even complain, it means that such an extreme situation did not occur.

“Uh… they don’t seem to be trying to stop us,” Alma scratched her face, feeling a chill run down her spine. What made her feel uneasy was the unexpected enthusiasm of the Instas residents.

“Isn’t that the best thing ever? Secretary Alma, you should be happy,” Li Yili said, reaching her right hand through the gap in the sofa to pull out an unopened bottle of wine and waving it at Alma. “How about we celebrate in advance?”

Alma raised her eyes, bent down to pick up an empty wine bottle from the ground, and suddenly clenched the bottle tightly with her five fingers.

"Don't make that face, I was just kidding. I was just joking. If I drink any more, I'll really run out of blood in my veins," Li Yili said with a smile as she put the wine in her hand on the table.

"You still know? I'll take what you just said as you still being drunk," Alma sighed, but her right hand was still tightly gripping the empty bottle.

Alma's posture, as if she might smash a bottle at any moment, completely sobered Li Yili up.

"Ahem—but since so many people are already waiting, if I put on too much airs, my reputation will suffer," Li Yili coughed heavily a few times. "Secretary Alma, please wait outside for a moment while I change my clothes. Don't worry, I won't fall asleep while changing. I feel particularly refreshed right now."

Alma pursed her lips, muttered a few words, picked up the wine bottle, and walked to the entrance, but did not go out, clearly not intending to wait outside.

"Minister Li Yili, what's on the sea?"

Li Yili casually tossed her clothes, which reeked of alcohol, aside.

"Secretary Alma, how many times have you asked this question?"

“But Minister Li Yili, it seems you have never answered me.”

"Nonsense, because I've never..."

"Minister, you... have seen the sea, right?"

Li Yili paused in pulling at her clothes, then silently changed her clothes and slung her travel bag over her shoulder.

sea ​​surface

It's just the surface of the sea.

Chapter 143 Catching the Weather Off Guard!

The carriage swayed all the way to the coast. The crowded scene reminded Li Yi of her summer vacations when she went to the beach. All she could see were people, which instantly killed any desire to play.

But if there's no one around, he'll lose the mood to play.

It has to be said that people are truly contradictory.

As they passed the dock where the Mercury Queen was located, Jones, who had been waiting there, waved vigorously toward the carriage from the side of the ship.

"Oh—Mr. Li Yili, you've finally arrived!"

Knowing about Li Yili's connection to the Mercury Queen, the groom from Yangcun Logistics deliberately pulled on the reins and slowed down the carriage.

Li Yili leaned out of the car window with her left hand dangling over the edge and replied to Jones, "The main character always appears last. Tell your boss to be prepared to grant my wish. I'm a very wild person."

"Wow—that's quite a boast! Our boss is a chosen one of the gods!"

"Hmph—the person who said that to me last time has already taken back their words while apologizing!"

Alma, sitting opposite Li Yili, held her forehead.

Li Yili seemed to have sobered up, yet she also seemed completely sober.

The carriage slowly came to a stop, and amidst the cheers of the residents of Instas, Li Yili gracefully landed, adjusting the stray hairs on his forehead. He didn't dislike the feeling of being admired.

"Good morning, Minister Li Yili. Although we didn't want to bother you so early, we all agree that it's necessary to report the situation on the ground to you," El bowed respectfully to Li Yili.

"It's alright, it's good to be cautious," Li Yili yawned and looked around at the surroundings. "Let's set off then."

"Okay... eh?"

Not only El, but everyone around was stunned.

"Hmm? Did I say anything strange?"

"No, no, no—wasn't it supposed to leave at 1 PM?! It's only 8 AM now!" Eddie was the first to react, waving the plan in his hand with the force of someone wielding a machete. "Where's the meticulousness! You said you'd consider the weather, water flow, and other factors!"

The originally safe plan suddenly gained an extra five hours of error.

"Teacher Meng, science is all about speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. I think the weather is great right now, we should strike immediately and catch them off guard!" Li Yili waved her fist, her impassioned attitude making Eddie want to smash Li Yili's head with the plan in his hand.

He never said that science is about speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness; science should be rigorous, rigorous, and even more rigorous!

He didn't know if the weather would be caught off guard by Li Yili, but he really was caught off guard by Li Yili, and now he really wanted to catch Li Yili off guard.

El rested his chin on his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded. "I think Minister Li Yili is absolutely right."

"Eh—" Eddie looked at El with disbelief. El was clearly the kind of person who was meticulous. Even if Eddie had his head stuck in the sewer, he would never have imagined that El would agree with Li Yili's quick and ruthless statement that caught the weather off guard.

Alma wasn't surprised at all, because this was Alma. Whether it made sense or not, as long as Li Yili said it, it was reasonable. And this kind of guy...

"Everyone, get ready!" El turned around and waved his hand. "We're heading to the Sea of ​​the Dead!"

It's all here.

“OHHHH————”

Eddie's mouth twitched.

To sum up his current feelings in one sentence, it would be: "This is unbelievable!"

He's not stupid; the current situation doesn't seem like something he could stop on his own.

"Hey—be careful over there! Check it at least twenty times! If you don't want your minister to become fish food in a sea of ​​dead bodies, then you'd better check it twenty more times!" Eddie roared as he walked toward Yun Zhong, who was adjusting the catapult.

Alma cast a look of admiration at Eddie's weathered back.

As expected of a veteran engineer, he not only wasn't defeated by Li Yili, but also found an opportunity in the mess.

With Eddie's shout, the Flame Elf might not be able to do much, but the Black Goat's cubs would definitely be on high alert, thoroughly inspecting the projection device from top to bottom, scrutinizing the parts as if they were going to churn them out. Since Eddie had ordered another twenty inspections, the Cloud Clan executives would certainly be checking it thirty times.

Even if the inspection is done quickly, it will still take four or five hours.

"And you! Mr. Li Yili! Stay in the submarine right now!" Eddie whirled around and pointed at Li Yili, who was yawning. "Even though you're just a supporting character, the co-pilot still has his own control levers. Practice them over and over again!"

Feeling that Eddie was already at his breaking point, Li Yili naturally wouldn't want to provoke Eddie further. Besides, the beach was lively and noisy, making him feel nauseous again, and the submarine offered him a more private space.

Li Yili pulled her backpack and quite consciously walked to the front of the submarine's No. 1 aircraft. Holding onto the hatch, she sat in the co-pilot's seat. The soft pilot's seat, prepared to cushion the impact, made Li Yili feel drowsy.

Just as Li Yili was thinking of taking a nap, Zig poked his head out, smiled brightly, and waved to Li Yili.

"Minister Li Yili, you've arrived very early—"

"Oh, good morning."

The youthful energy acted like a shot of adrenaline, rousing Li Yili to wave at Qi Ge. If possible, he didn't want to spoil Qi Ge's fun.

“Didn’t Zieg say yesterday that we would leave in the afternoon? Why are you here so early in the morning?” Li Yili took out her pocket watch and glanced at the time.

Zieg doesn't look like he just arrived at all.

"Haha... I'm so excited about getting to the Sea of ​​the Dead today. I woke up early this morning thinking I'd come and help out," Zieg scratched his face, looking a little shy. "But it seems I haven't been of much help."

“No, Zieg, you’ve been a huge help,” Li Yili said, spreading her hands. “Without you, there wouldn’t have been this plan to go to the Sea of ​​Dead.”

"Ahem—Minister Li Yili, I actually know that you can reach the surface of the Dead Man's Sea even without me," Zig laughed somewhat awkwardly, "I'm clearly the accessory, Minister Li Yili, yet you..."

“Zig, what nonsense are you talking about?” Li Yili crossed her arms and sighed deeply. “You are unique. Without you, I would have just wasted a lot of money on a body of water.”

Zig opened his mouth, then scratched the back of his head and lowered his head shyly.

"Minister Li Yili, you are just like another brother to me."

"in addition?"

"Yes, my respected brother Bert Slow, although he is not as resourceful as Minister Li Yili, he has always supported me in his own way!"
