Chapter 1162: Chapter 1160: Despair
As the seawater rose, a lot of water rushed in through the entrance, and at this mont, Daphne’s hands and feet were tied, her eyes filled with fear.
This was a relatively hidden cliff, really hard to find without careful searching. Wang Dadong had been searching secretly for several days but couldn’t find where Daphne was held by the boss’s group.
"Help! Is anyone there, help!" Seeing the seawater rising past her calves, Daphne shouted loudly.
However, her cries for help were completely drowned out by the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks.
At this mont, it truly felt like calling out to the heavens wouldn’t work, nor would calling out to the Earth.
Initially, Daphne fantasized about Wang Dadong coming to rescue her. But now it’s been several days, and he hasn’t co, making her feel a little disappointed gradually.
Of course, what made Daphne most desperate was the boss telling her that Wang Dadong had already left.
Naturally, she didn’t believe it, because this man, in that desperate situation back then, didn’t abandon her and took her out of the desert.
This ti, he even swam dozens of kiloters alone to bring everyone to the island; she couldn’t believe Wang Dadong would abandon her.
But disbelief or not, with each passing day, doubt began to grow in Daphne’s heart.
She doubted whether that man had truly abandoned her; otherwise, why hasn’t he co to save her yet?
Now, Daphne was even more frightened. The high tide was approaching, and it wouldn’t be long before the cave would be completely inundated with seawater, and she would drown.
Moreover, the boss hadn’t sent her food all day.
"You promised to send
back ho. Why did you lie to ?" Tears welled up in Daphne’s eyes.
Could it be that she’s the only one left on this island?
Fear and despair continued to spread in Daphne’s heart.
"I won’t board the ship!" Although the island would soon be subrged, Xiao Qing was adamant about not joining the boss and his group.
"Persuade them, such beautiful ladies dying like this is truly heartbreaking," the boss said with a sigh.
"Sister Qing, being alive is always better than dying; living an extra day ans having one more chance of being saved."
"Sister Qing, co with us."
"Sister Qing..."
The won on the boat looked at Xiao Qing with so hope.
With Wang Dadong gone, Xiao Qing was like a leader among these won. If she could join them, perhaps they’d have a lesser chance of being bullied by the boss’s group.
"Even if I drown, I will not board the ship. I advise you all to co down; following them will lead to no good end," Xiao Qing said coldly to the won on the boat.
"Well, since that’s the case, you all can stay here and wait for your savior," the boss said without further ado, boarding the ship with his n.
By this ti, the seawater had almost flooded most of the island, and the Pyramid Ship entered the water.
Surprisingly, the oddly-shaped ship was exceptionally stable, without the sense of imminent overturn that regular ships have when facing waves.
Watching the Pyramid Ship slowly drift away with the waves, Xiao Qing turned to Guo Ting, Murong Xue, and Zhu Biya who stayed behind, asking, "Do you not regret staying?"
"I’d rather drown than be bullied by the boss’s group," Guo Ting said through gritted teeth.
"I believe Brother Da Dong will save us."
"I also believe Brother Da Dong..." Zhu Biya said timidly.
Typically, Arican people are quite outgoing, but Zhu Biya’s personality was more like that of a Huaxia woman, petite, delicate, and graceful.
Listening to the three won, Xiao Qing nodded with so relief. In such a situation, staying to face death absolutely required imnse courage.
Watching the Pyramid Ship drift further away, a cold smile appeared on Xiao Qing’s face as she said, "In fact, you don’t need to envy them."
They naturally referred to the won who chose to board the boss’s ship.
These won originally were with them, but to survive, ultimately chose to follow the boss.
Xiao Qing paused and said, "That ship will fall apart at most in a day!"
The three won all looked at Xiao Qing with surprise.
With a snort, Xiao Qing said, "Hmph, do they think they’re safe on that ship? Let
tell you the truth, the ship wasn’t completely finished; it was missing the final step. Under the impact of the seawater, it will undoubtedly fall apart."
Wang Dadong told Xiao Qing that a day’s worth of fish glue refining was needed to complete it. This final step is crucial; without it, the Pyramid Ship could only drift at sea for a day.
This was the reason why Xiao Qing was adamant about not boarding the ship, and even if the ship was completed, she still wouldn’t board.
In her subconscious, she felt that even if they fell into the sea again, Wang Dadong could save them, whereas following the boss’s group would certainly lead to no good end.
Xiao Qing’s words made the three won all show signs of fear.
Luckily, they didn’t board the ship; otherwise, they would not only face bullying from the boss’s group but eventually, still encounter the fate of falling into the sea.
"Sister Xiao Qing, why didn’t you tell them..." Murong Xue, frightened by the coldness on Xiao Qing’s face at the mont, asked.
Without any expression, Xiao Qing said, "Why should I tell them? They made their own choice!"
Xiao Qing’s words were exactly the sa as what Wang Dadong had said before.
Since they made their own choice, they should bear the consequences of their wrong decision.
"Sister Xiao Qing, let’s wait here for Brother Da Dong to return."
"Yes."
The seawater was rising extrely fast, taking less than twenty minutes to subrge past Daphne’s chest, and continued to rise rapidly.
The odor of the seawater mixed with a slight stench filled the air.
Fully imrsed in despair, Daphne could see that in just a few minutes, this cave would be completely flooded, and even if Wang Dadong ca to save her, it might already be too late...
The seawater continued to rise, surpassing Daphne’s pale neck. She strained to stand on her toes, raising her head to breathe the last bit of air.
Daphne didn’t bla Wang Dadong, because if it weren’t for him, she would have died years ago.
But she still held a glimr of hope in her heart, hoping Wang Dadong could appear like last ti, when she was close to despair, and save her again.
When the seawater rose past her cheeks, Daphne closed her eyes powerlessly, realizing that miracles wouldn’t happen.
That man had truly abandoned her...
Soon the seawater completely flooded the cave...
