380: Chapter 0380: Leading the Wolf onto the Island 380: Chapter 0380: Leading the Wolf onto the Island An Xiaoke cooked the traditional Chinese dicine and brought it out to feed Zheng Lili.
Speaking honestly, when a person is in despair and suddenly gets helped by soone,
even if that person is an enemy, they can’t help but develop a sense of dependence unconsciously.
This psychology, scientifically speaking, is called “Stockholm syndro”.
Zheng Lili had seen through Mu Tianyou; she had given her heart to the bastard, only to find out that he just saw her as a fling!
Compared to Mu Tianyou, she even found Fat Wang more agreeable to look at.
After drinking the dicinal soup, the pain in her stomach eased sowhat, and she poured out her grievances to Wang Xiaoya and An Xiaoke.
When won talk about n, they always find common ground.
It started with criticizing Mu Tianyou, and sohow, the conversation dragged in Long Fei and all the faithless n in the world.
Long Fei was sweating profusely as he kept his distance from them and focused on drawing talismans.
He drew one of each Five Thunder Talisman.
After breaking through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Building, his spiritual power had increased significantly, and he could now draw ten talisman in succession.
However, his spiritual power couldn’t be refined yet, so he had to rely on sleep for recovery.
No idea when the won finished chatting, but by the ti he’d completed the talismans, he thumped down on the table and fell asleep.
The next day, Fat Wang woke him up early and they took a taxi to the wharf together.
He only brought five Jade Arhats with him, leaving the rest at ho.
He had taught Wang Xiaoya and An Xiaoke how to operate the Hou Tu Zhenpan.
Whichever of them was at ho, they could hold on for a while with this Array Plate in case of danger.
It wasn’t fully light yet and the sea wind was howling at the Li Family Wharf.
About a dozen professional adventure team mbers boarded a fishing boat one by one.
It was the kind of fishing boat commonly seen at the wharf, twenty ters long and five ters wide, with a blue hull and a national flag at the rear.
The crucial part was, the engine had been modified to a monstrous 500 horsepower, allowing for extrely fast sailing speed.
For a fishing boat of this size, 100 horsepower was already quite powerful.
500 horsepower—it could practically be used as a speedboat.
Among these people, there were veterans from the special forces, biology professors, high-tech computer geniuses, professional dics, professional divers, and seasoned old fishern.
The veteran was nad Yang Gang, with brawny muscles and a stature of about 1.8 ters, his skin dark as if he were a black chimpanzee.
In the army, his code na was Black Chimpanzee.
After his military service, he spent so ti as a rcenary in another country, skilled in various firearms and possessing strong wilderness survival abilities.
This ti, he was serving as the deputy team leader.
After boarding the ship, he checked the various equipnt for the trip.
It must be the Li Family’s doing—detonators, drones, pistols, grenade launchers, semi-automatic rifles, they had it all.
Moreover, these weapons were legally registered.
This scientific research team was also under the auspices of the state; each mission was approved by higher authorities.
One person grumbled in dissatisfaction, “Didn’t we agree to et up at eight?
Why summon people at six?
I haven’t even slept enough!”
Soone answered, “Who knows, why hasn’t the young lady arrived yet?”
“She’s waiting on the shore for that rock-climbing monster, Lu Buping.
Isn’t he your master?”
Soone teased Lu Buping, who was checking the ropes.
Not many here had seen the last ti Long Fei and Lu Buping had a contest, and they thought it was just exaggerated stories.
They all had a strong background in rock climbing and couldn’t believe that soone could scale the rock in just a few seconds.
That wasn’t human-like—it was more akin to a monkey.
Lu Buping didn’t say a word; everyone here thought highly of themselves.
But they were indeed geniuses.
Each person had their own unique skills.
Soti later, three people ca walking from the shore.
Just now, Long Fei had given so instructions to the people on the shore.
If soone cos over, tell them the secret of the Blood Spirit Flower.
Li Zhenni frowned upon hearing this, naturally the fewer people who knew about this, the better, to avoid competition.
However, she did not object to Long Fei’s decision.
Fat Wang was the first to jump onto the boat and aided Li Zhenni aboard with great eagerness.
He was purely a novice among these people, only good at flattering Li Zhenni.
Long Fei was the last to jump aboard, and everyone could finally see him clearly thanks to the light in the cabin.
“Quite strong!”
“Good height!”
“But we don’t know if he’s just a pillow with embroidery!”
“Once we reach the island, we’ll know everything.”
A group of people buzzed with discussion, but Long Fei ignored them and found a spot to sit down after taking off his pack.
Li Zhenni cheerfully addressed everyone, “I haven’t seen you all in so long, friends.
Before we set off, there’s sothing I must repeat to everyone.
For this expedition, everyone’s base salary is one million, with a bonus of ten million.
The team will distribute this bonus based on each person’s performance.”
“Oh!”
“Generous!”
“I like it!”
The group reacted with various exclamations.
Li Zhenni smiled and said, “Don’t get too excited too soon, folks.
I want to make it clear in advance.
Devil Island is unlike any ordinary island, full of danger, with poisonous snakes and deadly vapors everywhere, and life-threatening risks at any ti.
Those who are afraid of death or injury, it’s still not too late to leave now.”
A chorus of boos filled the cabin, followed by contemptuous laughter.
Smiling, Li Zhenni said, “Well then, since no one is backing out, let’s set sail!”
The engine roared to life, and the fishing boat headed out to sea against the rising morning sun.
Dressed in a black T-shirt paired with camouflage pants and black leather boots, Li Zhenni stood spirited at the bow, srizing to behold.
No sooner had they left than a convoy of domineering vehicles approached from afar.
Mu Tianyou arrived with his people, purposely half an hour early to surprise Long Fei and his group.
However, upon inquiry, he found out that Long Fei and his team had left early.
Swearing, Mu Tianyou exclaid, “A bunch of ti-wasters!
Wasn’t the departure agreed for eight o’clock?”
A staff mber at the scene was brought over, and he asked gloomily, “Which island did they go to?”
“Devil Island,” the staff mber replied honestly.
“What is this island?”
Mu Tianyou was curious.
The staff mber said, “It’s an uninhabited island, still undeveloped.
They are going on an expedition.”
“An expedition?”
Mu Tianyou furrowed his brow and asked, “What’s on it?”
The staff mber vaguely relayed Long Fei’s instructions, “Not very sure, they’re looking for sothing called the Blood Spirit Flower.
Word has it that it is food for the divine beast of the island and can prolong life.”
Pasong, who was in the car, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and got out.
He asked in Chinese, “Is this island far from here?”
The staff mber shook his head and said, “Not far, only a little over a hundred nautical miles.”
Pasong’s mouth twitched with interest, “Go to the island, we’ll go too.”
Mu Tianyou was taken aback, this old fellow had been reluctant when asked to co, but now he was quite eager upon hearing about this flower.
He was anxious to get rid of Long Fei and Fat Wang, so he was naturally happy to have Pasong’s proactive help.
Mu Tianyou inquired with the staff mber and concluded by offering a hundred thousand yuan for them to find a fishing boat.
The wharf belonged to the Li Family, but the staff were all local fishern.
Declining to earn money was foolish; they didn’t care what these people had against Li Zhenni, and would find them a fishing boat for a paynt.
For a hundred thousand yuan, the staff mber made calls around, and in the end, hired a fishing boat for thirty thousand yuan.
