As soon as Yihshyong finished speaking, from the east there was an object moving rapidly toward the canoe they were in.
"What is that?" Yihshyong's eyes widened.
"I think that's the raft they meant."
"No one is above it."
"Maybe the raft was moved by remote control."
"It doesn't look like a raft."
Indeed, the raft was more like a box without a lid. It's not really that similar either, because the shape of the base of the raft wasn't square or rectangular at all. But the shape of a regular hexagon.
While continuing to stare at the object, Jenqyih said, "perhaps a modern raft looks like that. We've never researched the different forms of rafts."
Once the raft was close enough, Jenqyih could hear a slow hum. The sound of the raft engine was very smooth. In an instant, the raft had stopped in front of them. Yihshyong and Jenqyih immediately lifted the bag they were carrying and transferred it to the raft. When they were done, the raft moved away from the canoe a little. Unlike before, the raft didn't make any sound at all. The raft then stopped at a distance of about three meters from the canoe.
"I think we should take the next step," Yihshyong said.
They both then handcuffed their hands. In such a state tied to the canoe, they could go nowhere at all.
Straightway, Jenqyih's eyes turned back to the strange raft. Then there was a layer that rose out from the six sides of the raft. The layer extended horizontally so that it completely covered the raft. Now the raft looked exactly like a box with a regular hexagonal base.
"What technology is this?" Yihshyong shouted. His eyes did not blink looking at the raft.
"I think this is one of the secret technologies that came from the ancient ship that brought our ancestors to this new world," said Jenqyih. "To get an object like this, it's definitely not easy. No wonder they delayed the delivery of this ransom so many times."
"If they used top secret technology that must cost a fortune like this, then the values of the ransom we just provided must be enormous."
Suddenly, there was a flash of light in the sky. Jenqyih also heard a slow popping sound. The flash of light was coming from somewhere on the other side. Although he couldn't say for sure where the source of the flash was, Jenqyih estimated it was at least six hundred meters from their canoe.
"What is it?" Yihshyong asked. He didn't see the flash because it was happening behind him.
"Across this lake, behind you. I think someone launched a rocket fire over there!"
Yihshyong looked confused. "What rockets? Early in the morning? What are they celebrating?" He then looked back to see more clearly.
The flash of light occurred once again.
"You're right! It's a rocket firecracker. What freak starts his day with a firecracker?" Yihshyong shouted while laughing.
Playing firecrackers before sunrise like this, maybe not a bad idea. Someday, if we have passed all these difficulties, maybe we should also try it.
