Chapter 1750: Chapter 1750: Fate and Hope
In the boundless sea.
The yacht with Lin Mengyao and the two other women was sailing alone above.
In all directions, no shadow of any ship could be seen.
At times, the three women suspected the yacht was going the wrong direction.
However, they ultimately decided to keep pressing on.
Because they believed in Chen Feng.
The yacht’s route was set by Chen Feng for them.
They trusted Chen Feng and believed he would never harm them.
Just like that.
They had been sailing all day on the sea surface.
Nightfall was approaching.
The yacht’s fuel was running out.
The yacht’s speed, once rapid, had slowed to a drift.
Seeing the yacht slow down more and more.
Worry lined the faces of the three women.
Given the current course.
If the yacht runs out of fuel in the middle of the ocean.
Then all that awaits the three of them is death.
After all, there’s not a bit of food aboard the yacht.
Most fatal is the lack of fresh water.
Being without fresh water at sea is nearly a death sentence.
Thus if the yacht becomes stranded.
The three women are essentially condemned.
At this moment.
After a day of ocean travel.
Coupled with their poor condition and a lack of food or water for a day.
The three women’s physical strength had reached its limit, weak beyond measure.
Watching the fuel run low, and the yacht slow down more.
A tinge of helplessness and despair rose on the faces of the three women.
"Are we ultimately unable to escape? Are we really going to die here at sea?"
Lin Mengyao said, her face pale.
"Yaoyao, we’ve tried our best. If fate insists on not letting us leave alive, there’s no use in forcing it!"
Tang Yuxin sighed and said.
"No matter what, being able to experience all this with you, I feel very honored. Thank you for keeping me alive this long. Without Chen Feng and you, I might have died the day I stepped on Shanghai Island!"
Sun Xiaoli smiled at Lin Mengyao and Tang Yuxin as she spoke.
"Xiaoli, I’m glad to have become friends with you before dying!"
Tang Yuxin looked at Sun Xiaoli and smiled.
Then, she turned to Lin Mengyao, took a deep breath, and laughed: "Yaoyao, being friends with you and dying alongside you is worthwhile. I have no regrets in this life. I hope we can be friends in the next life too!"
"We surely will. I haven’t had enough of being friends with you in this life, so next life, we’ll keep being friends!"
Lin Mengyao nodded and smiled.
"Also me, don’t forget me!"
Sun Xiaoli quickly said.
Upon hearing this.
All three women shared a knowing smile.
At this point, the three women had become indifferent to life and death.
For them, since leaving the island, life and death had lost importance.
They only wanted to enjoy each remaining moment.
Thus, it could be said they honored Chen Feng’s desperate rescue!
Finally.
The yacht ran out of fuel and stopped on the ocean.
Land remained elusive.
In fact.
Zhong Siquan had stocked enough fuel on the yacht before setting out.
Enough for a round trip.
But last night.
Chen Feng took the three women from the island, getting trapped in a nightmare labyrinth for half a day without leaving the island.
This exhausted a lot of fuel.
Leading to insufficient fuel for the return, stranding them midway.
Fortunately, the three women had steeled themselves.
Faced with this, they took it in stride, without surprise.
The three women leaned on each other, sat up from the deck, and looked around.
The land was nowhere in sight, nor was there any small island.
This made all three women shake their heads with a laugh, realizing fate had played a huge joke on them.
First, inexplicably arriving at Tianqi Island.
Then enduring everything there.
While other companions had perished, eaten by fierce beasts.
Only the three of them, under Chen Feng’s protection, survived.
They thought Chen Feng could lead them safely back to Coastal.
Yet, the nightmare intervened, forcibly returning them to the island.
Reversed, the three women thought they were doomed.
But Chen Feng appeared, sacrificing himself to save the three of them.
Only then did they survive, board the yacht and successfully start their return journey.
By this point, even in a movie, there should be a happy ending.
However, fate decided to play a huge joke on them.
That is, the yacht ran out of fuel, leaving them stranded.
Now, they could only wait for death!
It must be said.
Fate is truly unfathomable.
When you feel safe.
Danger suddenly arrives.
While in desperation.
It seems nothing’s wrong.
And when you think you might survive.
The plight returns to your head.
Twists and turns keep one on their toes.
An average person would surely collapse.
Fortunately, the three women had endured life and death on the island, maturing in mindset, and so now, they’re less shaken.
The three women had come to terms.
Believing they were already destined for death; the moment they set foot on Tianqi Island, it was sealed.
Yet, encountering Chen Feng, being protected by him, they outlived the others this long.
This, was enough!
"I suggest we lie on the deck, enjoy the sunlight, smile, and die gracefully, how about that?"
Tang Yuxin smiled at Lin Mengyao and Sun Xiaoli as she spoke.
"No objections!"
The two women nodded.
Then, all three laid side by side on the deck, closing their eyes, quietly awaiting death.
For they had no strength left, utterly exhausted.
Instead of struggling, it was better to die more comfortably.
Thus, as time continued.
Their consciousness started to blur.
Eventually, if they fell asleep, they would not awaken.
"Chen Feng, wait for me in Heaven, I’m coming to meet you!"
Lin Mengyao struggled to open her eyes, glanced at the sky, and murmured.
Then she closed her eyes, ready to embrace death.
"Woo!!!"
Suddenly, a ship’s whistle sounded in the three women’s ears.
This jolted the three women, who were almost asleep, to open their eyes.
Helping each other up, they exerted all their strength to sit on the deck.
When they looked in the direction of the sound, their faces lit up with joy...
