"Alright, it's safe now, everyone can leave."
Ye Lei shouted to a group of survivors who had not yet been released. Thinking about it, these people were really pitiful. They were tricked into going to the so-called safe island, and now they have been kidnapped by pirates. It seems that money is the root of all evil!
"Our benefactor! How can we possibly thank you enough?"
"If you don't come to save us, we'll die!"
"Surviving in the apocalypse is really too difficult!"
"I almost lost my life here!"
…………
These wealthy people before the apocalypse really valued their lives. It's a pity that now that the apocalypse has arrived, all their former wealth is nothing but a pile of useless garbage, neither edible nor drinkable.
"Alright, that's enough. You guys go. This place will be flooded soon. Just leave us one speedboat!"
"Thank you for saving my life. We're leaving now."
The survivors disembarked in twos and threes and boarded the speedboat, leaving only Ye Lei, Beina, Zhao Meili and her father Zhao Shijie on board.
"Beautiful, what brings you here?"
Zhao Shijie is finally feeling better.
"Dad, I've come to save you!"
"You're really brave! Those were vicious pirates!"
"Are you expect me to just stand by and watch you get kidnapped without doing anything about it?"
"Sigh, even Dad never imagined things would come to this!"
Zhao Shijie recalled being tricked and kidnapped, and the past was too painful to recall.
"Uncle, here's your watch, here you go."
Ye Lei took off his watch from his wrist.
"How did you get this watch? What's your relationship with those people?"
Zhao Shijie suddenly glared fiercely at Ye Lei.
"Who? The one who cheated you out of your gold?"
"Yes, I remember that they only let me board the ship after I took out this watch."
"If you hadn't taken out that watch in the first place, you wouldn't have been scammed and kidnapped, would you?"
"this……"
Zhao Shijie was speechless for a moment.
"However, you should also be grateful for this watch, otherwise you might really be living here in retirement."
"Daughter, tell me quickly, what happened? Who is he? How did Daddy's watch end up with him?"
Zhao Shijie couldn't understand what had happened in between.
"Dad, he's not only your savior, but also your daughter's savior. Let me tell you the story..."
Ye Lei had no interest in listening to the father and daughter reminisce about the past, and went straight off the boat towards the speedboat.
Bena skillfully steered the speedboat, speeding towards the shore.
Ye Lei couldn't help but glance back at the ship belonging to the Skull Pirate Legion.
Although it looks a bit old, it is, after all, their flagship, and must have weathered countless storms. Its sturdiness should not be underestimated.
Therefore, if one wants to explore the ocean world in the future, it would be better to acquire this ship and use it as one's own warship.
Thinking of this, Ye Lei couldn't help but smile. It seemed he needed to train a qualified helmsman as soon as possible.
With a wave of his hand, the skull-shaped pirate warship that had been anchored on the sea vanished instantly, sucked into his infinite space.
At this moment, Zhao Shijie was still listening intently to his daughter's story. If he had noticed what was happening in front of him, he would probably have been terrified!
When the speedboat stopped at the shore, Zhao Meili had already explained the whole story clearly. Zhao Shijie's eyes finally changed from hatred to gratitude, and Ye Lei was indifferent.
The four got into the Mercedes SUV and drove towards the shelter. Ye Lei was thinking about how to settle Zhao Shijie.
He definitely couldn't go to the shelter, so he could only go with her daughter to the faculty and staff dormitory. As for their arrangements, he couldn't care less; there was plenty of food and drink there anyway.
Just then, the car radio started playing.
"Hello, everyone."
We are now breaking news that we have just received: there have been rumors that the military plans to build an underground city in the Shiwan Mountains, and this news has now been further confirmed.
According to the latest news, the military does indeed have this plan, and advance troops have arrived at the nearly century-old abandoned 863 underground base and have begun construction work.
It is understood that they plan to transform this former secret underground military factory into an underground city with more than three levels in order to cope with the increasingly severe high temperatures.
We firmly believe that in the near future, we will all be able to hide in underground cities until the end of the world.
Dear survivors, please have faith. As long as we unite and work together, we can still survive even in the apocalypse.
…………
"The Ten Thousand Mountains? The 863 Underground Base? Is this real?"
Zhao Shijie looked very surprised after hearing this.
"Does Uncle Zhao also know about this base?"
Ye Lei was just asking casually.
"Of course! My dad has leased hundreds of acres of forest there for wildlife breeding!"
"I'm sitting in the back," Zhao Meili said proudly.
"What?"
Zhao Meili's words immediately brought Ye Lei to his knees.
"Brother Lei, what's wrong?"
Beanna thought she had offended Ye Lei again.
"Uncle Zhao, does that mean you've been living in the Ten Thousand Mountains all this time? You must be very familiar with that place, right?"
"I guess so, I've been there for many years."
Zhao Shijie said calmly, "It seems you've made a lot of money there over the years. You live off the land and water, that's what they call living off the land and water!"
