Chapter 1146: Chapter 1144: He’s Back!
“What do you an?” Xiao Qing asked, frowning.
“There seems to be plenty of food in the ocean, but it’s not that easy to get…” Wang Dadong’s words trailed off.
Xiao Qing’s eyes widened imdiately, “You, you an, they took them along to eat them?”
Wang Dadong neither confird nor denied it.
Realizing this fact, everyone who didn’t follow gasped in shock.
“Why didn’t you stop them?” the Flight Attendant asked.
Wang Dadong said indifferently, “Everyone has their own choices. Since that was their choice, why should I stop them?”
There was another thing Wang Dadong didn’t say, which was, the fewer the people, the greater the hope of survival.
Even if he stayed with those people, he couldn’t guarantee their safety, so it was better to let them go.
“What do we do now?” Facing the vast endless ocean, everyone seed sowhat powerless.
In this ocean where the shore was nowhere in sight, not even knowing the Southeast from the Northwest was truly despairing.
Wang Dadong glanced at everyone and said, “Surviving is simple, we just need to swim to the nearest island.”
The ocean is not sothing an average person can conquer, especially with so many people, but if they could land on an island, no matter how small, Wang Dadong could ensure their survival.
Not for a very long ti, but one or two months would be fine.
By then, the airline would surely send rescue teams for a search, making the chances of being rescued quite high.
Staying in the seawater, it’s uncertain if these people could even last two days.
“What? Swim, but there’s no end in sight, how do we swim?” soone said in despair.
For ordinary people, swimming a few kiloters is already far, but looking out, there’s not even a shadow of an island, even if there were, it would be at least dozens of kiloters away.
The stronger ones had already gone with that group, the rest were mostly those with insufficient strength, or won, asking them to swim dozens of kiloters was unthinkable.
“We’re dood!” So pessimists even considered giving up.
If only they could see an island ahead, but swimming aimlessly like this was truly despairing.
“There’s an island thirty li ahead, I once went to that place.” Seeing everyone’s faces gradually enveloped by despair, Wang Dadong suddenly spoke.
“Is there really an island?”
Upon hearing of an island, a trace of hope appeared on people’s faces.
At this mont, the greatest fear was despair, once desperate, it basically ans choosing death.
“Believe it or not.” Wang Dadong said, extending his hand towards Daphne.
For Wang Dadong, Daphne had unconditional trust, because now she could only believe in Wang Dadong.
This man had once led her through the desert, so she believed he could also lead her across the sea!
The two of them swam forward together.
“Guo Ting, do you want to co with us? Only by following him can we have hope of survival.” At this ti, Xiao Qing said to the Flight Attendant.
Xiao Qing and Guo Ting, one was a co-pilot and the other a Flight Attendant, they knew each other.
Guo Ting nodded, if not for anything else, just because Wang Dadong had given her his life jacket earlier, she felt Wang Dadong was soone she could trust.
Xiao Qing and Guo Ting were the first to follow the two.
Others had no choice but to follow suit.
After all, staying put was akin to waiting for death.
Although wearing life jackets, swimming didn’t consu much energy, but as ti passed, everyone’s physical strength declined significantly.
Initially, even those farthest from Wang Dadong were only a few dozen ters away.
However, an hour later, the distance stretched to several hundred ters.
Even Daphne, who was closest to Wang Dadong, was having a hard ti, her forehead covered in sweat, quickly washed away by the seawater.
“Shouldn’t we wait for them?” Xiao Qing, after all, had received excellent physical training as a pilot, was the only one who could effortlessly keep up with Wang Dadong at this ti.
Wang Dadong glanced at Xiao Qing but didn’t answer. Instead, he continued to paddle, swimming forward without slowing down.
“I can’t do it anymore, I can’t swim…” After another hour, many people couldn’t hold on any longer.
The cold seawater quickly depleted their body heat, combined with prolonged exertion, it was normal for their bodies to falter.
Not just these ordinary people, even Xiao Qing fell behind, unable to keep pace.
The rest were worse off, so had lagged seven or eight hundred ters behind.
Seeing soone about to give up, Xiao Qing, with slightly better stamina, wanted to help, despite being very tired, she wasn’t willing to abandon anyone.
“Don’t go!” Wang Dadong imdiately stopped Xiao Qing.
“Everyone else, keep swimming, don’t look back!” said Wang Dadong, shouting to the people behind.
“You…” Xiao Qing was a bit angry, Wang Dadong seed too cold-blooded, too heartless.
Wang Dadong said coldly, “I said, to save them, everyone must listen to , including you!”
Xiao Qing looked at Wang Dadong with a hint of grievance and continued swimming forward.
Seeing everyone else swimming away, the person who wanted to give up also continued to swim, despite the struggle, they managed to catch up.
Whether it was because they still had so energy left or the survival instinct triggered their potential, it was unclear.
Ti passed by the minute, people’s swimming pace grew slower and slower, many were rely paddling by instinct, if not for the strong survival instinct supporting them, they would have been done already.
After all, human stamina has a limit. Finally, soone couldn’t hold on anymore; she didn’t speak because she knew, even if she spoke, no one would help her.
As Wang Dadong had said earlier, no one was to help others.
This was a young girl, about nineteen, quite pretty, with a delicate face and big eyes, but at this mont, her large eyes were full of despair.
Three hours, she had been swimming for three hours, she couldn’t believe she managed to swim this far.
However, it was still of no use, because ahead was still an endless sea, without any sign of an island.
The girl stopped paddling, letting herself float on the sea surface.
At this mont, she finally felt relieved…
When giving up hope, it was incredibly relieving…
But it also ant she was dood.
At this mont, a hand suddenly grabbed her life jacket, then a gentle voice said, “Rest well for a mont, then continue swimming.”
It was Wang Dadong, Wang Dadong had returned!
