Chapter 327 Approaching Soul-Severing Island
Xia Yue, who was so busy she barely had time to breathe, was completely unaware of Qin Yeting's emo.
To prevent the Drug organization from poisoning the food in Noah's Ark again, she and her master conducted a thorough inspection of the food.
Strictly control every step of the process.
At the same time, some antidote pills were also developed to prevent emergencies.
Summer months bring a significant reduction in sleep duration, with most people only getting three or four hours of sleep.
Master Yi advised, "Girl, you still have another one in your belly. Go and get some sleep first, and leave the rest to your master."
“Master, you are getting old and need rest more than I do. I’m fine,” Xia Yue replied earnestly.
But Yi Lao didn't give Xia Yue a chance to refuse. He forcibly pushed Xia Yue into the lounge and then locked the door from the outside.
"I'll come back to open the door in two hours. You should get some sleep first." After saying this, Old Master Yi left.
Xia Yue turned the doorknob, trying to open the door, but couldn't open it at all, so she had to give up.
She walked to the bed in the lounge and slowly sat down.
There is a small window next to the bed, through which you can see the sea.
But that was yesterday's scene.
Looking out now, all you can see is a thin layer of fog.
She knew that this was what Captain Noah meant by being close to Soulbreak Island.
The island of broken souls is shrouded in a thick fog that never dissipates.
It gets thicker the further you go in.
It's still quite faint now, with visibility only a few hundred meters, which means we've only just gotten close.
Because of the fog, Noah's Ark had to slow down to avoid hitting small islands or reefs.
Xia Yue felt heavy-hearted and couldn't fall asleep after lying in bed.
She was worried that there might be other things going on during this trip.
Given the Drug organization's style, if they really wanted to attack outsiders near Soul Island, they would definitely do more than just poison; they would surely have other tricks up their sleeves.
However, the other party was in the dark while she was in the light.
Overthinking only leads to internal conflict.
The only thing we can do now is to react to whatever comes our way.
Xia Yue took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, forced herself to fall asleep, and conserve her energy.
-
Two days later.
Noah's Ark is getting closer and closer to Soul Island.
The field of vision gradually opened up from being pitch black to being wide open.
It was still the same small window in the lounge, but today Xia Yue could see a huge island in the distance.
The golden sands, the green trees, and the giant ships moored along the shore are not much different from Noah's Ark 001.
Xia Yue finally arrived at her destination and breathed a sigh of relief.
But when she went to see her master, both her master and Captain Noah had increasingly unpleasant expressions.
"What's going on? Didn't we already reach the finish line? We should be happy." Xia Yue looked at the two of them curiously.
The master remained frowning and did not speak.
Captain Noah sighed slightly and slowly said, "I just received a warning letter, ordering us to return to port immediately, or else we will launch a cannon attack on Noah's Ark."
"What?" Xia Yue hadn't expected the Drug organization to be so lawless.
There were over three thousand people from all over the world on board.
Doing this is tantamount to provoking the entire world!
"Where did they get these large weapons?" Xia Yue couldn't help but ask.
"Black market arms smuggling, sold privately by Country A—if Drugs want it, there's nothing they can't get," Old Yi explained helplessly.
Xia Yue witnessed the arrogance and ruthlessness of that organization once again.
She then asked, "They previously sent people to poison the ship. If they open fire, indiscriminately attacking, wouldn't their spies lurking here also be killed?"
“That organization is inhuman and won’t care about these things,” Old Yi replied coldly.
Xia Yue's expression turned even uglier.
Fortunately, Captain Noah explained loudly, "Don't worry for now. There are things on this ship that are useful to them, so they won't open fire easily."
"What is that?"
"I'm sorry, I cannot tell you that," Captain Noah replied softly.
Xia Yue and Elder Yi frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Although everyone has their own secrets, the master and apprentice have been busy these past few days preventing another poisoning incident on Noah's Ark, and haven't had a good night's sleep at all.
Now that they are facing a life-or-death situation, Captain Noah is still keeping it a secret, which makes them somewhat unhappy.
"You two must be tired lately, why don't you go and rest?" Captain Noah asked the two to leave.
With things having come to this point, Xia Yue didn't want to say anything more to the captain and left with her master.
The two were in a secluded little restaurant, eating and discussing things at the same time.
"Master, Broken Soul Island is indeed a place of trouble, full of messy affairs, more complicated than I imagined." Xia Yue sighed softly.
Master Yi had no other choice for the time being, so he could only appease his apprentice and take it one step at a time.
The cruise ship soon reached the shore.
The message was broadcast from a loudspeaker on the shore.
"Listen up, everyone on board! Soul-Severing Island doesn't welcome you! Either turn back immediately, or jump off the ship and swim over here yourselves!"
After Captain Noah threatened the other side with his "treasure," the other side came up with a new trick.
Want to get out of there?
Can!
Swim on your own!
However, the sea was turbulent, and the cruise ship was hundreds of meters away from the shore. Even good swimmers might not be able to swim across, let alone those who are not good swimmers.
Furthermore, given the height of the cruise ship, the deck is tens of meters above the sea surface.
If you jump like that, you'll either die or be maimed.
The people on the cruise ship came to Broken Soul Island to search for treasure, not to die.
Upon hearing this requirement, many people backed down.
Some people even started looking for Captain Noah.
They paid exorbitant prices for their tickets, but now they can't even do something as simple as disembarking.
