The Black Card - Chapter 1230
[Chapter 1228 Preparing to go to the island]
According to Yao Er’s idea, he hopes to help Shi Lei arrange a team of mercenaries to follow Shi Lei to the island to ensure Shi Lei’s safety.
But his proposal was rejected by Shi Lei without hesitation.
Just kidding, how could Shi Lei carry such a bunch of burdens?
With Shi Lei’s skills and marksmanship, he wouldn’t be in much danger if he went up by himself, but if he brought a team of mercenaries with him, wouldn’t he have to go back and take care of these people?
What’s more, Shi Lei’s strength is too incredible, and he doesn’t want to be exposed in front of too many people.
It’s fine for ordinary people to see it. At worst, they just feel that Shi Lei’s strength is incredible, and they won’t have much other feelings.
But mercenaries, these guys have survived in a hail of bullets, and have a very deep understanding of the limits of human strength. Let them see Shi Lei’s strength, it will only make them deeply suspicious of human beings themselves.
So far, all those who have strength beyond ordinary humans and have seen Shi Lei’s strength have basically died.
The rest are not much better than ordinary people, or people that Shi Lei can completely trust.
For a team of mercenaries to discover that Shi Lei is as powerful as Captain America or the Winter Soldier, something will definitely go wrong.
After making preparations, Shi Lei stayed on Hong Kong Island peacefully for a few days. After contacting the fishermen in Malaysia and confirming the time for them to return to the island, Shi Lei flew to Malaysia.
After buying a lot of gifts locally, which of course were nothing more than food and wine, Shi Lei arrived at the pier where fishermen left the harbor.
Seeing that Shi Lei had brought so many things on board, the fishermen didn’t know why.
But when Shi Lei opened two boxes on the boat and had a rich meal with the fishermen on the boat, those people realized that it turned out that Shi Lei had brought food and drinks.
After arriving on the island, Shi Lei did not rush to the island. Instead, he continued to stay on the island and went to sea with the fishermen. When he came back, he entertained them with the food and wine he brought.
In just two or three days, the relationship between this group of fishermen and Shi Lei has become closer, and almost everyone has regarded him as their best friend.
And when Shi Lei asked these “best friends” to help him get as close to the island as possible, these people were short-sighted and of course they were too embarrassed to refuse. They just stuck to the bottom line of fifteen nautical miles.
Early in the morning, the fishing boat was preparing to set sail, and Shi Lei also brought two people on board with a full set of diving equipment.
Of course those fishermen knew what Shi Lei was going to do and turned a blind eye to it. However, a few worried people came over and warned Shi Lei that the island was dangerous and he had better not get too close.
Shi Lei thanked these people for their concern, and when the fishing boat brought them only fifteen or sixteen nautical miles away from the island, Shi Lei followed the two professional divers into the sea.
Because he wanted to go deep diving on the island, Shi Lei went to a professional diving club on the beach to learn specifically when he was in Hong Kong Island, so this was not his first time diving.
Shi Lei’s physical fitness and other aspects were already far beyond those of ordinary people. Therefore, he learned very quickly. Basically, he learned it once from the diving club’s instructor and was able to master it proficiently.
Even in the deep sea, he can already do some things that even professional divers can’t do. In principle, it doesn’t matter whether he is accompanied by these two divers. However, they are professionals after all. In addition to diving, In itself, there are many other professional skills that can ensure that Shi Lei can dive within the scope of the island in the shortest possible time.
Poking his head out of the sea, Shi Lei waved to the fishermen. The fishermen in charge of driving the boat shouted to Shi Lei: “From now on, we will come here once every day between ten and eleven in the morning. You need If you want to return, please remember the direction here.”
Shi Lei made an OK gesture to the fishermen, and dived into the sea again with the two divers.
The fishing boat drove away slowly, and the people on the fishing boat looked at each other speechlessly and shook their heads.
“It’s a distance of fifteen nautical miles. If you want to dive from here to that island, I really don’t know what this hospitable and generous gentleman is thinking.” “
Rich people are always like this. Their lives have long been considered boring. It’s boring, they just want some excitement.”
“Then I wish this gentleman good luck and hope he can come back safely. No matter what, I still feel that this is no different from seeking death.”
“Maybe when we come here tomorrow , you can see him again, and he will definitely understand that the distance of fifteen nautical miles is not so easy to cross.”
Of course Shi Lei and the two frogmen could not hear these words, they stayed in the deep water In the middle, cruising around, two professional frogmen opened a dial-like device in the sea water, searched for it, then pointed in a certain direction and led Shi Lei to swim there.
After swimming for more than a nautical mile, the three of them saw a reef in front of them, and on top of the reef was tied a two- to three-meter-long rope.
A huge box was tied to the other end of the rope. Shi Lei and the other three accelerated their speed and swam toward the box.
There were some tools tied to the box. After the three of them got the tools, they opened the box without difficulty.
Inside the box were three sets of propulsion devices that could be used in water. After the three of them took them off, they all wore them on their bodies.
After helping each other check and confirming that the pushing device was firmly fixed on the body, the three of them nodded and made OK gestures. Then, Shi Lei raised three fingers, one by one, and when he made a fist When the time came, the three of them pressed the button on the pushing device almost at the same time.
A wave of air shot out from behind the three people’s backs, and their bodies quickly pushed forward in the sea, quickly reaching a speed of nearly twenty kilometers per hour.
This was what Shi Lei had asked Yao Er to prepare. A few days ago, these devices had been sent here, dropped from the plane, and then someone tied them to the reef.
Shi Lei was not a fool. It was fifteen nautical miles, nearly thirty kilometers away. How could he swim there even with a full set of diving equipment?
Even if he swam there, he would probably have to die on the beach from exhaustion.
With this propulsion device, it is much simpler. Maintaining a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour, it only takes more than an hour to reach the shore of the island.
Not only this device, but also the diving suits and oxygen supply equipment they wear are actually concentrated high-tech products, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary diving suits on the market.
This diving suit is quite close to the level of a bulletproof vest in terms of strength, and is made of high-density carbon fiber.
If you are on the shore, you may not be able to withstand the impact of bullets, but in the water, as long as you are not shot at close range by a sniper rifle, you can basically block the bullets outside the diving suit.
The oxygen supply device behind it is also specially made.
It seems to be about the same size as an ordinary diving oxygen bottle, but in fact, the compressed air content inside is more than five times that of an ordinary oxygen bottle.
