The conversation ended unhappily, and Brother Long blocked Hou Kun's account. Zhang Shi, with a smile on his face, calmed down the furious Zhao Feng.
"No need to rush. The Dragon Tiger Alliance will come knocking on our door soon. Then we can settle our scores and get revenge."
Ge Dalong's mind raced, and as he reflected on Brother Long's behavior, he seemed to have noticed something.
"Don't rush to deal with Hou Kun. I'll interrogate him myself. I think I can get some useful information out of him."
Zhang Shi nodded, indicating that Ge Dalong could handle the matter as he saw fit, and with that, the turmoil came to an end.
The next morning, Wang Wu's team bid farewell to Zhang Shi and drove away on their yacht with the tourists.
Wang Wu told the team members everything that happened last night. Everyone was both angry and helpless about Hou Kun's espionage. What's more, they had only cooperated with Zhang Shi for the first time and had already caused a huge mess. Although Zhang Shi said that everything was fine, Wang Wu understood the impact of this matter. Therefore, he was unwilling to stay on the island for a moment longer and left in a hurry.
As Zhang Shi watched Wang Wu's team leave, he weighed the impact of this incident on his post station's business. At that moment, Ge Dalong, sporting dark circles under his eyes, approached him.
"Hou Kun has confessed. I've obtained the coordinates of the Dragon Tiger Alliance and its personnel arrangements."
Zhang Shi didn't react much to the news. Instead, he told Ge Dalong to go back and catch up on his sleep and get some rest. Now, even Ge Dalong was a little confused about what Zhang Shi was thinking.
...
On the Dragon Tiger Alliance side, the moment Brother Long broke ties with Zhang Shi, he sent someone to leak the coordinates of Zhang Shi's island in the chat channel. He also secretly contacted some small and medium-sized forces that were on good terms with him, preparing to form an eighteen-way coalition to attack Zhang Shi.
After a night of fermentation, almost all the survivors who followed the chat channel knew the coordinates of the island. Many people with ill intentions began to gather their forces and prepare to join forces to plunder the island. After all, judging from the pictures sent by tourists who had been to the island, Zhang Shi's island was quite rich and was a rare paradise in this water world.
Zhang Shi was still seen as a fat sheep to be slaughtered by those hungry survivors, and the survivors were discussing whether Zhang Shi could withstand this impact.
As for Zhang Shi himself, he didn't care at all. Since he had made the business of the post station public, he wasn't afraid of his coordinates being leaked.
All spatial activities are prohibited on the island. If you want to attack, you can only rely on vehicles to cross the ocean. Not to mention how many forces have the ability to sail long distances at sea, even if they manage to conquer the island with great difficulty, my retinue of thousands of men and magical cannons will be enough to give them a hard time.
"Those so-called fearless people will all be afraid once they are sent up to die in a wave."
Zhang Shi glanced at the various messages about the island on the chat interface, a cold smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He knew that it wouldn't be long before he was about to unleash another killing spree.
...
Cai Qing is the leader of a small faction. In the real world, he grew up by the sea and is very skilled in fishing, hunting, and sailing. After the flood ravaged the wilderness, he spent a lot of money to buy a fishing boat and used it as a shelter to drift at sea.
Thanks to his good fishing skills, Cai Qing made a fortune selling fish in the early stages of the flood, and even recruited a few underlings to work for him along the way.
Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long. Ever since Zhang Shi started selling large quantities of seafood, his business got worse and worse. In the end, he had no choice but to sell his catch at a low price, barely making ends meet. Many of his underlings ran away when they saw the situation. Because of this, Cai Qing blamed everything on Zhang Shi.
After Zhang Shi's coordinates were leaked last night, Cai Qing immediately checked the distance to the island and found that it was only half a day's journey away. He immediately put his plan into action, drove through the night, and finally arrived near the island the next morning. In the distance, the outline of the island could already be seen on the horizon.
At this moment, it wasn't just his faction gathered near the island. Cai Qing looked around and found about six or seven ships of varying sizes anchored in this area. They all seemed to be after Zhang Shi. Since these people were not from the same region as Zhang Shi and didn't know his exact strength, no one was willing to be the first to make a move.
Cai Qing secretly calculated that Zhang Shi's coordinates had been exposed, and some large organizations with spatial teleportation capabilities must have already been watching him. He feared that if there was any unusual activity on the island, a large army would immediately swarm over. He had heard rumors that a large organization had already gathered more than a dozen allied forces to prepare to attack Zhang Shi.
Cai Qing's heart stirred slightly; he wanted to be the first to try something new. "Since everyone has their reservations, why don't I test the waters first?"
After directing his men to moor the fishing boat, he personally led a few others to change into diving gear, preparing to dive closer to the island for reconnaissance. He knew that a direct assault would be futile; he needed to ascertain the enemy's strength before making any plans.
As he approached the island by diving, Cai Qing carefully avoided several patrolling island guards. These guards were well-equipped and clearly highly trained, which made him secretly uneasy. Using his familiarity with the ocean, he finally found a relatively hidden landing point and quietly went ashore.
However, before he could even check the situation, an arrow grazed his scalp. The gust of wind sent a chill down his spine, and he stood frozen in place, too terrified to move.
Not far away, Zhao Feng frowned, very dissatisfied with his arrow. He had originally aimed at the opponent's brow, but he missed and the arrow went astray, failing to kill him instantly.
"Go, surround them!"
At Zhao Feng's command, dozens of soldiers rushed out of the woods, armed with bows and arrows and muskets, and surrounded the invaders.
Cai Qing regained his senses, plunged into the water, and swam towards the fishing boat. The soldiers behind him showed no mercy, firing muskets like raindrops into the water. Unfortunately, the bullets were ineffective against the underwater targets, so the soldiers switched to bows and arrows, creating a scene of utterly beating a drowning dog.
Unfortunately, the soldiers were some distance from the shore, and Zhao Feng alerted them, so the soldiers failed to hold them back, and Cai Qing and his group escaped successfully.
Cai Qing returned to the boat, panting heavily, while his underlings beside him were also shaken by the experience.
"Boss, Zhang Shi is well-prepared. I think this island is a tough nut to crack. In my opinion, we should retreat."
Cai Qing turned around and glared fiercely at his underling, then slapped him to the ground.
"Screw you! I went through all this trouble to get to this place, and I got nothing before being scared away by a volley of arrows. If word gets out, how am I supposed to survive in this wilderness world?"
"Listen up, you little bastards! If anyone dares to utter a word about deserting in the face of battle, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
The underling who had been slapped covered his swollen cheek, his face displaying a fawning expression, but in his heart he was cursing Cai Qing to the core. If he weren't weaker than Cai Qing and hadn't been controlled by him using special methods, he would have already found an opportunity to stab him.
