After Li hit the ground, she didn't feel any pain whatsoever, the only sensation was a softness beneath her, making her fall without any pain.
Li hurriedly opened her eyes, looked beneath her, and saw there was a Simmons mattress there at some point.
It was precisely this Simmons mattress that caught Li, preventing her from injury.
Li knew that this Simmons mattress must've been thrown by Wang Yan. She quickly looked back.
She saw a container on the cargo ship behind her broken open, revealing a whole container full of Simmons mattresses inside.
She saw Wang Yan's actions were as fast as lightning, continuously grabbing mattresses and throwing them, dozens of them flying toward the dock, each one covering the sky and falling down around Li.
After throwing all the mattresses, Wang Yan moved like Butterfly across the chaotic deck, constantly searching for Fang and others.
Fang and others were uncontrollably sliding toward the sea, yet Wang Yan always managed to rush in front of them, grabbing the ropes tied to them, and tossing them toward the dock while snapping the ropes apart with a twist of his fingers.
As they soared through the air, the ropes naturally slipped off their bodies.
It was like a rain of human bodies from the sky, nearly a hundred people, including Fang, flew off the deck and landed onto the Simmons mattresses on the dock.
Within a few short minutes, except for San and Sun Da hanging on the mast, everyone was saved by Wang Yan.
The thousands of strong men on the deck were not as lucky; they were either crushed by the containers or fell into the sea, being smashed into the deep by additional falling containers.
At this moment, the entire cargo ship was tilting downwards, erected vertically, with more than half of it submerged under the sea's surface. The most update n0vels are published on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt
The mast that held San and Sun Da made a "crack" sound as it finally broke into two.
The mast, made of cast iron, was so thick that three people couldn't wrap around it. Once it snapped, it plunged toward the ocean, taking Sun Da and San with it into the depths.
The massive and heavy mast would surely sink into the deep sea once it hit the water, burying San and Sun Da along with it.
Yet, at this moment, there was no sign of panic on Sun Da and San's faces.
Witnessing Wang Yan's astonishing feat earlier, they showed expressions of delight. Meeting someone like Wang Yan in this lifetime was worth it.
San and Sun Da, headfirst, fell rapidly into the sea with the mast, the black ocean surface coming closer like a giant beast's mouth about to swallow them whole.
They immediately closed their eyes, awaiting death.
Suddenly, they felt themselves stop abruptly, hearing the clear sound of waves nearby, with the icy taste of the sea flooding their nostrils.
In urgency, they opened their eyes, seeing the surging sea right in front of them, even feeling the cold spray of the waves splash against their faces.
Yet, they had actually stopped.
With joy, they quickly looked upward.
There on the slanted deck, Wang Yan stood with his feet dug into the deck like nails.
At this moment, Wang Yan's arms reached out, grasping the bottom of the massive mast.
But the mast, being extraordinarily heavy and thick, was impossible for Wang Yan to fully embrace, and it continued to slide downward through Wang Yan's grasp.
San and Sun Da's faces were already submerged in the seawater, and if they did not desperately raise their heads, the water would surely drown them, suffocating them to death.
However, Wang Yan himself seemed to be exerting all his strength, and his hands shook but couldn't lift the mast any further.
Then, the enormous vessel thoroughly went vertical, with countless containers falling down, three containers dropping from above, targeting Wang Yan.
But Wang Yan had his back turned to the containers and couldn't see them at all.
San was terrified, shaking his head frantically, finally spitting out the cloth from his mouth, and screaming in horror, "Brother Wang Yan, watch out behind you!"
But before San finished speaking, the first container had already struck Wang Yan's back.
Compared to the container's massive size, Wang Yan seemed like a mere sapling under a mountain, and the container's impact could completely crush him.
For Wang Yan to evade the container, he would need to release the mast and leap away. Otherwise, he'd be flattened into mince by the container.
Yet Wang Yan firmly held onto the mast, remaining motionless.
The container slammed into Wang Yan's back.
With only a shudder, Wang Yan gritted his teeth, his feet unmoving, incredibly stopping the container's advance.
San was shocked, wondering what kind of strength could withstand the several tons' weight of a container alone.
Though it was evident Wang Yan was exerting all his might, such strength was extremely astonishing.
Just then, another container fell, crashing onto the first with continuous "bang bang bang" sounds, four or five containers piled together, applying all their weight onto Wang Yan.
Wang Yan's body took a step forward, almost stumbling, making the mast in his hand slip down.
With a bite, Wang Yan stomped his feet firmly downward, both feet plunging deep into the deck, grounding himself solidly as if nailed onto it.
At this moment, behind Wang Yan were seven or eight heavy containers weighing several tons, before him lay the long mast with San and Sun Da hanging on.
All this weight rested solely on Wang Yan, amounting to dozens of tons. Even thousands or tens of thousands couldn't bear it, yet Wang Yan stood firmly, unyielding.
Nonetheless, Wang Yan's face turned pale, eyes wide, teeth tightly clenched, already on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this, San cried out in agony, "Brother Wang Yan, let go quickly! Don't mind me!"
Although Sun Da's mouth was still gagged, he nodded continuously, eyes filled with gratitude, urging Wang Yan to let go quickly.
Yet Wang Yan remained there, even though his body trembled he remained motionless.
The massive cargo ship slowly sank; even if Wang Yan kept standing there, he would ultimately be swallowed by the sea with the ship.
Suddenly, from the highest point of the cargo ship came a burst of wild laughter, revealing Zhang Kai seated on a lifeboat at the bow, holding a rocket launcher aimed at Wang Yan.
Zhang Kai laughed heartily and said, "Haha, who could've imagined, the final victor, is me!"
With that, Zhang Kai pressed the trigger, a rocket shot forth with a long tail flame, aiming at Wang Yan, who was already at his limit.
