C93 A Dead End



C93 A Dead End

Sailing in the middle of the sea, if he were to lose the coordinates and navigation, he would not be able to find his way back to land even during the day, let alone now at night.    

    

Thus, Lin Fei did not think too much about it for now. For the moment, he would simply rest quietly.    

    

Although he may have obtained various extraordinary skills, wisdom, and endurance that no other ordinary human beings could ever hope to achieve...    

    

It was nevertheless the first time in his life that he had witness such a brutal scene.    

    

As such, he needed to take a deep breath and calm himself down for the time being.    

    

The time of peace and quiet ticked away in a flash. During that time, Lin Fei had been doing his best to keep his spirits up. Sitting on the deck with the gun in his arms, he insisted on keeping watch for the three beauties.    

    

Although the pirates no longer chased after them, he still felt the need to keep his guard up just in case.    

    

Only when the first light of dawn peeked over the horizon did Liu Qing slowly open her eyes and wake up.    

    

"Sir, how long have we been asleep for?"    

    

"Did you not get any sleep at all?"    

    

With that thought in mind, Liu Qing sat up in a shock as she stared at Lin Fei and asked.    

    

"That's right..."    

    

"It's already daybreak!"    

    

Before Lin Fei could even respond to her question, Xi Mengwei woke up upon hearing Liu Qing's voice. Stretching her arms and back, she then sat upright on the floor.    

    

Lee Fei'er had also woken up and gradually sat up straight.    

    

"You're all awake?"    

    

Instead of answering Liu Qing's question, Lin Fei looked at the three drowsy women and asked with a gentle smile.    

    

Although he did not answer Liu Qing's question directly, the apparent fatigue on his face was enough to explain everything.    

    

"Yep!"    

    

The three women all nodded obediently and replied.    

    

However, when they noticed Lin Fei's tired expression, they immediately figured that he must have been standing guard for them all night long as they revealed a pitiful expression.    

    

"That's great!"    

    

Hearing their responses, Lin Fei immediately revealed a bright smile on his face.    

    

Since it had been at least six or seven hours since they had escaped from the luxury yacht last night, Lin Fei was sure that they had escaped the pursuit of the pirates and were now completely safe from danger.    

    

After he finished speaking, he slowly stood back up from the speedboat and gazed at the vast sea that spanned in all directions.    

    

The rising sun illuminated with countless rays of light that shone over the horizon from the distance, dyeing the entire sky in blend of red and gold.    

    

While the sea breeze was gently caressing his face, the seagulls in the distance flew up and down as they let out cheerful cries.    

    

The entire scene just seemed so peaceful and serene. It was as if they had just returned to the beautiful moment when they had just gone out to sea.    

    

"It's so good to be alive!"    

    

Lin Fei took a glance at the three charming women who were now standing together beside him. Pulling them into his embrace with his arms, he could not help but let out a long sigh.    

    

The three beauties nodded in agreement as they looked at Lin Fei with infatuated gazes.    

    

"Brother Lin Fei, you must be exhausted now. Lie down and get some rest!"    

    

At that moment, Xi Mengwei said as she lovingly touched Lin Fei's face. Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, she could not help but feel her heart aching.    

    

Both Liu Qing and Lee Fei'er too nodded in agreement.    

    

At this time, Lin Fei stood as the backbone of their group. Thus, he needed to get enough rest to preserve both his physical and mental strength and to stay in his best condition.    

    

"Hehe, you little girl, to think you actually know how to care for others!"    

    

Lin Fei grabbed Xi Mengwei's soft hand gently and chuckled.    

    

However, at that moment, Lin Fei's bright expression turned serious as he said, "Ladies, to be honest, I really do want to have a good rest right now, but I can't do so just yet!"    

    

"Although we may have escaped the pursuit of the pirates, we have lost our warm and comfortable yacht!"    

    

"In fact, we're currently in an extremely grave situation. Other than the speedboat itself, we have no other way of sailing across the sea!"    

    

"Admist the vast sea, it would obviously be impossible for us to reach any of the cities on the shore with just our speedboat alone."    

    

As Lin Fei's voice faded, the three beauties instantly fell silent.    

    

With their intelligence, they naturally understood that their greatest obstacle right now was not the pirates, but rather the turbulent sea beneath their feet.    

    

Although the sea may appear beautiful, there were also times when it would turn into a gigantic monster that devoured everything above the surface of the water.    

    

"Brother Lin Fei, Sister Qing, Sister Fei'er, don't be so pessimistic. After all, this speedboat has a GPS built into its control panel. We can use the tracking system to send distress signals to the yacht companies on the shore. If everything goes smoothly, I believe we will be rescued very soon."    

    

Noticing the grave atmosphere on the speedboat, Xi Mengwei broke the silence and said to everyone.    

    

With that, she quickly sat on the driver's seat and began to operate the system.    

    

As the person who was most familiar with watercrafts, she naturally knew many things about the speedboat's functions.    

    

Upon hearing her words, a flicker of hope ignited within Lin Fei's eyes.    

    

Since the branches of the East Ocean Yacht Company could be found all over the world, if Xi Mengwei really could operate the GPS built into the speedboat and send a distress signal back to the headquarters, perhaps they really would be rescued very quickly.    

    

At that time, Liu Qing and Lee Fei'er stared at Xi Mengwei on the driver's seat with a glimmer of hope in their eyes.    

    

But when Xi Mengwei sat down on the driver's seat and started up the speedboat, the engine only revved for a moment before stopping again.    

    

"Uh-oh..."    

    

"Brother Lin Fei, we have a problem!"    

    

Xi Mengwei looked at Lin Fei with a serious expression.    

    

"What's wrong, Mengwei?"    

    

Lin Fei hurriedly asked. Looking at Xi Mengwei's expression, he could naturally tell that something was wrong.    

    

"The speedboat is out of fuel!"    

    

Xi Mengwei spread her hands out and said to Lin Fei helplessly. The flicker of light within her eyes had instantly been extinguished and replaced with a great sense of hopelessness.    

    

"The speedboat is out of gas? Impossible!"    

    

Upon hearing her words, Lin Fei rushed over and looked at the fuel tank indicator for himself.    

    

After all, their speedboat had only been running for about an hour or so. As for the remaining time, it had been drifting freely amidst the ocean. Thus, it should not have run out of fuel so quickly!    

    

But after Lin Fei's careful inspection of the speedboat, he quickly discovered that the pirates had landed a shot on the fuel tank of the speedboat during their escape last night. Since it had been leaking the entire time, there was not a single drop of fuel left within now.    

    

The GPS built into the speedboat was originally their only hope of getting back to the shore, but they did not expect to come across such an unfortunate turn of events.    

    

Without any fuel in the tank, the control panel on the speedboat could not be operated anymore. Unable to activate the GPS, they naturally could not send out any distress signals either.    

    

Moreover, turning around and seeing how everyone was still in their pajamas, Lin Fei began to realize the gravity of their predicament.    

    

He knew clearly that everyone was in a panic when they had escaped the yacht last night. Thus, he was certain that everyone had left their communication devices and phones back on the yacht.    

    

Furthermore, the speedboat was not at all like the yacht, which had a special GPS system installed into its control panel that allowed them to receive signals from any satellites close to them. No matter how far or which direction they drove with the yacht, they would not have to worry about their phones not receiving any connection.    

    

However, the GPS on the speedboat did not have such functions. So even if they had a phone with them now, they would not be able to receive any signals as they were somewhere in the middle of the ocean right now.    

    

Other than that, he had searched through the entire speedboat just now. Let alone a phone, they did not even bring along any devices with the function of a compass.    

    

"Is this how my life will end?"    

    

Lin Fei looked up at the sky and heaved out a sigh.    

    

He felt as if this was all a joke made by the heavens, a very boring joke.    

    

Although the sky outside was completely clear for thousands of miles, Lin Fei suddenly felt darkness looming from above. It was as if all hope before his eyes had been lost in an instant.    

    

He knew very well the moment he lost navigation amidst the vast Indian Ocean that he was like a blind person walking in the middle of a desert. He knew just how impossible it would be for them to find their way back to shore just by letting the speedboat drift freely along the waves.    

    

Although they had brought along several bottles of fresh water and food from the storage room of the yacht last night, he was well aware that those supplies would not last them forever and would run out eventually.    

    

If they could not send out any sort of distress signals and call for help, then the only thing that awaited them would be endless despair, and death eventually.    

    

This time, Lin Fei truly felt as if they had been forced into a dead end.    

    

Upon seeing a flicker of hope, they had immediately fallen down a spiral of despair. It was as if they had stumbled upon the gates of heaven right before being thrown down into the depths of hell in an instant. Lin Fei simply could not bear this feeling of hopelessness.
