"President Shen, this place is not suitable for staying long. Let's go back," Wang Chao said in a deep voice.
Although Pei Buji had been killed and the bombs were being cleared, staying in the vast ocean was not a good idea.
Furthermore, with so many people dead and the scent of blood and violence in the air, it was even more inhospitable.
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Shen Bing obediently replied.
"Something's wrong, the other two cruise ships are leaving!"
At that moment, a panicked voice came from outside.
Everyone quickly left the casino to see what was happening.
The other two Swan cruise ships had already shot off like arrows, heading into the distance.
"Big brother, should we chase after them?" Zhou Xinghe asked.
There were undoubtedly many ruthless mercenaries on those ships, and if they were allowed to escape, they would likely continue their murderous activities in the future.
"We're in trouble. The fuel in our ship has been completely depleted!"
At this moment, a bloodied sailor rushed out, his eyes filled with terror.
Joseph, Gates, Liu Xiangqing, Shen Siquan, and others all had their expressions change dramatically.
This was the open sea, far from Longguo, and without fuel, this large cruise ship could only drift along with the waves. Trying to reach the shore would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
They might end up drifting on the sea forever until their demise.
Liu Xiangqing quickly exchanged a glance with Shura.
Without a word, Shura dropped his rifle and swiftly walked towards the engine room of the ship.
Two minutes later, he returned with a solemn expression, nodding at Liu Xiangqing.
Liu Xiangqing's face turned grim.
There really was no more fuel!
This meant that the cruise ship had lost its power and could only drift on the sea. The mercenaries took the other two ships to clearly trap them in the vast ocean.
"Zou Xiaojie, what should we do?" Shen Siquan anxiously turned to Zou Xiaojie.
"Your Highness, don't worry, there will be a solution," Zou Xiaojie reassured.
Wang Chao and Zhou Xinghe immediately looked at the two of them.
At that moment, they both understood.
Zou Xiaojie and Shen Siquan knew each other, and it was highly likely that Zou Xiaojie was Shen Siquan's bodyguard, silently protecting her safety all along.
"No wonder this guy could follow me everywhere we went. So that's how it is," Zhou Xinghe muttered.
"It's obvious if you use your simple mind to think about it. Someone like her, how could she not have a covert bodyguard?" Wang Chao said calmly.
Zhou Xinghe looked aggrieved. "Brother Wang, I'm not dumb."
"In any case, the situation now has nothing to do with us. Hurry up and think of a way to contact the outside world and see if we can get some support," Wang Chao said.
In the middle of the sea, with such a heavy cruise ship, without power, there was no way to find the correct direction.
Zhou Xinghe nodded and immediately took out his phone, looking down at it.
Upon seeing it, he furrowed his brows as there was no signal on his phone.
"Why is there no signal on my phone? What's going on?"
"I was able to communicate with the outside world before those criminals took action. Why is there no signal now?"
"My phone has no signal either."
"If we can't contact the outside, what should we do? Are we going to drift aimlessly like this?"
"Look, the cruise ship is starting to move."
Joseph, Liu Xiangqing, Shen Siquan, Gates, and others also had solemn expressions as they felt the movement of the cruise ship, filled with intense despair.
"What about the anchor?" Liu Xiangqing shouted.I think you should take a look at
"When you were trapped, the chain of the anchor had already been destroyed by those bad people. The anchor has fallen into the sea. We can't stop the movement of the cruise ship now," the sailor said.
"The cruise ship must have a satellite telephone system. What about the satellite phone?" Shura asked calmly.
"They're gone. They were all destroyed by those bad people, and they threw all the communication devices into the sea," the sailor said.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell into despair once again.
Unable to contact the outside, with the cruise ship losing power and drifting aimlessly, who knew where they would end up?
What if they drifted into the remote depths of the Pacific? That would be a gruesome fate.
After all, the supplies on the ship could only last for a maximum of seven days!
Without fuel, the various refrigeration facilities on the cruise ship would also lose power. Relying solely on dry rations, they would not last long.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
Everyone was filled with despair, and the scene became chaotic, sensing the thick crisis.
Swoosh!
Everyone turned to look at Wang Chao, their eyes filled with hope and expectation.
When they're in despair just now, Wang Chao led his team to annihilate the mercenaries and rescue them from the dire situation. Now, facing another predicament, they instinctively looked to Wang Chao for help.
In their eyes, Wang Chao surely had a solution to lead them out of this predicament.
"Mr. Wang, in this situation, do you have any ideas?" Gates asked.
Wang Chao stood on the deck, feeling the salty sea breeze blowing, and looked around, furrowing his brows.
Based on the wind direction and the position of the sun, he deduced that the cruise ship was drifting towards the Pacific. If left untreated, they would likely drift farther and farther away, eventually perishing due to lack of supplies.
"Wang Chao, this..." Shen Bing also had a worried look in her eyes as she looked at Wang Chao.
This situation was different from being in the deep mountains and forests. In the deep mountains and forests, they still had places to search for supplies, water sources, and food.
But out here at sea, once their stored drinking water was depleted, within three days, everyone would die!
"There will be a solution!"
Wang Chao turned around and looked at Shen Bing and the others, saying, "Everyone, do not worry. Old Master Zhao has already left on a lifeboat before those criminals took action."
"I believe he will come back with help to rescue us."
"But on this vast sea, even if Old Master Zhao wants to save us, how would he know our location?" Joseph uttered anxiously.
"A cruise ship of this size would naturally have a positioning system," Wang Chao said.
"But the positioning system was also destroyed by those criminals," the sailor added.
Upon hearing this, everyone present became even more fearful.
"Do not worry, nothing will happen."
At this moment, a battered Zhao Shenbing walked out from the casino and uttered in a deep voice, "Our Zhao family has two sets of positioning devices, and there is a hidden tracking system that no one knows about."
"The mercenaries only destroyed one set on the surface. The other positioning system is still operational, and Old Master will definitely come to rescue us based on that location!"
He did not know when he woke up, and the ropes on his body had already been untied.
Although injured, the strength of the Seven-Star War God had not diminished. His powerful voice reached everyone's ears.
Upon hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of their worries and no longer feeling so desperate.
Wang Chao stared at Zhao Shenbing, silent.
After Zhao Shenbing took care of his own wounds and reassured the others, he walked to Wang Chao's side with a grave expression. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have died."
Wang Chao looked at Zhao Shenbing and asked, "I just did what I had to do. You do not need to be so concerned. Is what you uttered about the second positioning system true?"
Zhao Shenbing's expression became even more solemn. "It's false!"
