Zhang Xiao did not care about Tom, and this was not something that needed to be cared about. On the contrary, he was actually easier to act alone and did not worry about being discovered.

Zhang Xiao slowly walked into the water. He did not swim over like a swimmer, scratching the water, but did not move the water until the water surface was over his head.

The waves were undulating, and the sea surface was not calm compared to rivers. Although there were not a few meters high waves, Zhang Xiao did not cause any unusual waves when he entered the water.

No, it’s not just that there are no strange waves. Zhang Xiao’s entry into the water is like a drop of water entering the sea, without a trace.

Zhang Xiao’s plan was obvious. He was planning to dive all the way to the cruise ship. Although it took about twenty or thirty minutes to swim from the shore far away from the cruise ship to the cruise ship, this was not something that Zhang Xiao could not do.

This seems a bit exaggerated, but for Zhang Xiao, since he is ready to sneak in, he will not relax. He will do the best if he wants to do it, and try not to leave a trace of the possibility of being discovered.

You should know that it was early morning and the sky was no longer black. Although the sea water was clear and its visibility might be one or two meters, for the sea surface that could reflect light, it is even more difficult to see the situation in the sea clearly at this time.

It can be said that as long as Zhang Xiao does not show his head, no one can find him swimming in the sea with his naked eyes at this time.

As for radar or other more advanced monitoring methods, of course, you can still "see" Zhang Xiao, but the Quantum cruise ship is one of the top ten cruise ships in the world, but it will not turn on those things when it stops and docks.

Even if there are people on duty now, they will be patrolling regularly and at a fixed point like ordinary security guards, and at most they will leave a few people in the monitoring room to watch the monitors in key areas.

Only these people, even if no one was away or paddling, they would never be able to see Zhang Xiao diving all the way to the cruise ship from a few kilometers away.

When Zhang Xiao touched the huge hull of the Quantum cruise ship, no one noticed the abnormality, but Zhang Xiao did not reveal the water and still hid at the bottom of the ship.

Judging from Zhang Xiao’s appearance, he seemed to be worried about something.

That's right, Zhang Xiao spent so much effort not just to avoid ordinary people, but what he wanted to avoid was actually the possible "same kind".

He didn't dare to overestimate his luck, nor did he dare to underestimate the bottom line of the big guys behind this war.

Zhang Xiao had long been suspicious, and it is very likely that the invaders were not random, but were probably controlled by the world consciousness.

He is likely to let the powerful invaders descend directly to the evenly powerful guardians.

However, this is just Zhang Xiao’s guess for the time being. There is no evidence. All he can do is to make preparations to prevent accidents, just like what he is doing now.

Zhang Xiao looked at the steel giant beast in front of him and reached out to press his hand on the surface of the cruise ship. But in fact, at this time, Nightmare was connecting with the cruise ship in front of him with the help of Zhang Xiao's body.

Even if Zhang Xiao's body surpasses the level of ordinary people in all aspects, he cannot dive for several kilometers in one breath. This is mainly based on the help of a substitute, Meng Nightmare wrapped around Zhang Xiao like a transparent coat.

This is not to say that nightmare is like the past, wearing Zhang Xiao like clothes or armor, but the nightmare is "covered" on Zhang Xiao like a real spirit.

Or to be more straightforward, Nightmare is now equivalent to a state of possession, which is commonly known as "the upper body of the ghost".

Doing this can not only maintain Zhang Xiao's body temperature, so that he will not lose temperature due to long-term invasion in the sea water in the morning, but also be equivalent to an internal circulation, so that he does not need to float to the water to breathe.

This way of using a substitute can be said to be Zhang Xiao’s real ability, which is also quite rare among substitute messengers. It can be seen how deeply Zhang Xiao has explored the ability of a substitute. In Zhang Xiao’s hands, the substitute is definitely not just a single ability.

Of course this is not surprising. "In history" Yotaro Hoku's substitute Platinum Star not only talks about the terrifying ability of time pause, but also can hold his heart with his hands according to Yotaro Hoku's own will to stop his heartbeat. At the same time, he can independently perform a heart massage for him when he is confused to restore his heartbeat.

It can be seen that the strong people have similar ideas. In their hands, the substitute is definitely not only a "special ability", but a special helper who helps them fight in all aspects.

However, although Zhang Xiao uses a substitute more versatile and comprehensive way, Zhang Xiao is actually unable to achieve the level of Sora Jotaro. Once he loses consciousness, he knows that his substitute will be completely hidden, and it is impossible to spontaneously save the master like Platinum Star...at least for the time being.

Back to the topic, because the substitute Nightmare is now closely connected with Zhang Xiao, Zhang Xiao cannot call out the substitute to use the ability of the nightmare. To use the ability of the substitute, he can only use his own body to make a transition.

Then touching this action, Nightmare established a link between Zhang Xiao's body and the cruise ship.

Compared with intelligent life, or lower insects, plants, and dead objects like cruise ships are even more incapable of resisting the power of nightmare. However, accordingly, dead objects without any thinking ability can be controlled by nightmare, they cannot provide any help.

Zhang Xiao can only pass through the power of nightmare through the cruise ship hull to sense the existence of all living things on the ship.

It's like the "phone" I played when I was a child, wearing a rope between two paper cups, and then using the vibration of the rope to convey the sound.

Zhang Xiao now uses similar principles. Nightmare is like an amplifier and receiver, which senses the existence of the cruise ship through a "rope" cruise ship.

This way, it is impossible to accurately judge how powerful these people are. At most, it is only to determine the approximate vital signs of these people. But this is enough. If no one can sense Zhang Xiao's existence and find him, then when Zhang Xiao gets on the cruise ship, it is enough to avoid some strong people.

This is very easy, much simpler than Zhang Xiao’s previous perception of the emotional fluctuations of surrounding creatures through nightmare, and constructing a thinking 3D map in his brain.

But something strange happened. Zhang Xiao could not detect any situation on the ship. Not to mention the entire life on the ship, even the patrol guards on the deck directly above him could not sense it, as if there was nothing in front of him, in the void.

Zhang Xiao instantly withdrew his hand and stepped back a little, and made a defensive move.

He guessed in his heart that it was very likely that he unfortunately met the strong one among the invaders again, otherwise it would be impossible that he would not feel any abnormality even if he was so close.

However, there was no attack. The cruise ship in front of him was still parked in the port, without any change, as if everything was really normal.

Zhang Xiao frowned. This was too abnormal.
