Chapter 624: Survival At Sea
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Rest, rest well. Let’s paddle east.”
The so-called paddle naturally meant that the two of them were swimming in the water with their hands. However, facing the dark sea that had no end in sight, they still felt a sense of panic and helplessness from the bottom of their hearts.
“Can we swim over?”
“Xiaoxiao actually has moments where she’s not confident?”
Lying on the kayak, Shen Xiaoxiao smiled at the sky and said, “Why can’t I be afraid? I’m also a human.”
Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao like this, Long Xi decided to lie down and look at the sky. Yes, everyone had moments when they were afraid, and he was actually afraid just now when Reger took away the second parachute.
He was afraid.
He knew that he could take away the remaining parachute from Shen Xiaoxiao, but he just didn’t want to do that. He didn’t want to see Shen Xiaoxiao get hurt, and he also didn’t want to see he and Shen Xiaoxiao fight to the death. He also didn’t want to see only one of them survive in the end.
That was why he boldly hugged her and jumped together. God knows, the moment he jumped, he even thought that if both of them couldn’t survive, at least they would have someone to accompany them on the road to h*ll. It wouldn’t be a loss.
However, he did not expect that not only did the two of them survive, they even lay here and looked up at the starry sky together. Even though they did not know where the road to the future was, where it led to, and whether someone would save them tomorrow… and how long would they drift on the sea. Would they be thirsty or hungry? Even if they survived, they could still die on the sea.
They did not know, but Long Xi no longer had that kind of nervousness. Perhaps it was because she was the one lying next to him, or perhaps it was because she was the one who was going to live and die with him.
“Let’s sleep for a while. Who knows, maybe when we wake up tomorrow, we will follow the current and return to land?”
“I thought you would say that we will work together in shifts. Why? Don’t you want to do it?”
“The wind is blowing from the east. Even God is helping us.”
Hearing Long Xi’s words, Shen Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and waved it in the air. Indeed, it was blowing from the east. Their luck was really good.
“Sure enough, nothing good happens every time I’m with you.”
Long Xi felt particularly comfortable listening to similar complaints. He smiled and said, “But every time I’m with Xiaoxiao, I always feel happy.”
Shen Xiaoxiao held her tongue in the darkness that he could not see. For a moment, no one broke the silence. On such a night, drifting on the sea at such a time, there was no sound other than the sound of the waves. This feeling was actually very strange.
Because whether it was for Shen Xiaoxiao or Long Xi, it was a luxury to have such a rare life without killing, fighting, gunfights, chasing, or scheming.
Shen Xiaoxiao had once inexplicably hoped to live such a life with her children, Yan Kuan, and a carefree life on a small island. However, she knew that all her wishes in this life were in vain. After she was covered in wounds, she didn’t even dare to think about it anymore.
“Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking about whether there will be a seafood feast when I wake up tomorrow.”
“Hahaha, that can be arranged.”
“Really? I hope so.”
For a moment, the two of them fell into silence again. After a while, Long Xi slowly said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that about you.”
No one answered.
This was perhaps within Long Xi’s expectations. At this moment, he did not dare to see whether Shen Xiaoxiao was really asleep or if she was pretending not to care about him. He would rather be the former. At least that way, his heart would feel better.
Looking at the night sky above him, Long Xi touched his wrist. It turned out that they were already so far away from the capital. After tonight, where would they float to?
The precise electronic display screen emitted a faint blue light in the darkness of the night. However, Shen Xiaoxiao had already sunk into a deep sleep and did not see it at all.
According to this drifting speed, they would be able to encounter ships by tomorrow afternoon. The entire China did not make any big movements. At this moment, they were all chasing Reger around the world. As for him, Shen Xiaoxiao, and Yan Kuan, they were all being treated as missing persons. All of these were accurately displayed on the small display screen.
With the confidence in his heart, along with the breeze by his ear, Long Xi also slowly fell asleep.
After waking up, Shen Xiaoxiao only felt comfortable all over. If it wasn’t for the hunger rolling in her stomach, perhaps she would never have known that she could also sleep so soundly. Such an environment, such a place, and indescribable irony.
“How was your nap? Here’s the seafood feast you ordered.”
When Shen Xiaoxiao sat up, she saw that Long Xi was only wearing a suit jacket. He had taken off his white shirt and placed it on the mat. There was a pile of sashimi on top of it, and the military knife beside it was placed casually. When did this person wake up?
“You woke up early.”
“Eat something. I remember that you can’t go hungry.”
The words of Long Xi were cut short and straightforward. Shen Xiaoxiao was not vague either. She really could not go hungry. Everything would have to wait until after she ate something.
She did not know what kind of fish Long Xi had killed, but it was just right to swallow all of them into Shen Xiaoxiao’s mouth.
Moreover, perhaps it was because he had killed them on the spot, the fish was extremely delicious, or perhaps it was because she was too hungry. Anyway, after Shen Xiaoxiao ate them all, she gave Long Xi a rare smile.
“The taste is not bad. It would be even more perfect if we added a little vinegar. Are we still going to eat this for lunch?”
These childish words made Long Xi laugh. He continued, “If you want to eat it, we can eat this again for lunch. Moreover, it’s broad daylight and there’s no direction. We can only rely on this kayak to drift by ourselves. The only food we can eat is these fish.”
“Yeah, we don’t know where they are at all.”
After Shen Xiaoxiao finished her story, she looked at the watch band on Long Xi’s wrist. Long Xi seemed to know what she was thinking. He took it off and put it in front of her. He said, “Take a look for yourself. Other than time, which is a simple compass, we only know that we are drifting toward the east at this moment. We don’t know anything else.”
Shen Xiaoxiao really took the watch and looked at it. Just as Long Xi had said, she knew nothing except that it was 9 o’clock in the morning and the location was in the east.
She felt a little depressed. was she going to continue staring at Long Xi on the kayak like this?
Didn’t she experience that kind of speechless embarrassment last night?
Fortunately, she was blocked by the darkness of the night so she didn’t look too embarrassed. It was broad daylight now. What should she do? Fight? Or mock each other? It didn’t seem right.
Long Xi saw Shen Xiaoxiao’s awkwardness and spoke first. However, what he said made Shen Xiaoxiao feel that it was better not to say it.
“Xiaoxiao, can you tell me what the relationship between this ring on my hand and the Obsidian Star is?”
