Liu Yong had been distanced from the world of Overlord for a couple of days, finding himself immersed in a state of idle contemplation. After his return from the Xinpeng Special Steel Smelter, he luxuriated in his capacious office. Leaning back comfortably in his chair, he reached for the telephone and issued a directive for the resumption of the "Blue Whale's" maritime activities.
Days had elapsed since the triumphant return of the "Blue Whale," affording the crew ample time to rejuvenate. Their sails would once again unfurl to embark on the mission of recovering the remaining cache of somber, gray-black metal from the depths below.
Beneath the shallow expanse of the sea bed lay a treasure trove—110,000 to 120,000 tons of the elusive gray-black metal. This bounty far exceeded their previous haul, nearly double the quantity. Overlord, with its imposing strength, had managed to retrieve every fragment of metal within reach.
