3678: A New Addition (294)

A New Addition (294)

Compared to the pirates in the other seas, the Somali pirates were armed to the teeth, and their methods were cruel and astute. They were even equipped with weapons as lethal as rocket launchers!2

But things were different then. Gong Jie's battleship was armed to the teeth and even had a missile interceptor.

This yacht wasn't armed and they only had some weapons and firearms. However, such firearms would probably not be able to resist the Somali pirates, who operated in big groups.

"We have to leave this place as soon as possible."

"No." Lisa replied, "Are you crazy? There's a sea storm ahead. Wouldn't it be more dangerous if we went back there again?!"

Little Yichen frowned, but Lisa continued, "The Somali pirates are rampant, but we may not necessarily run into them. We just have to be on guard."

"Okay." Little Yichen did not dare to go to sleep and stayed in the cockpit with Lisa.

The water from the waves had gone into the cabin. However, the yacht was equipped with some equipment that could drain the water directly from the rooms.

Following this, the rest of the day was peaceful.

However, that night, just as Lisa was about to fall asleep, she suddenly noticed the yacht coming to a stop. She woke up with a jolt and looked at the screen. There was a message that said that the propeller had malfunctioned.

"What's going on?"

"The ship's propeller has malfunctioned."

After a pause, Lisa asked him, "Did you hear any strange noises just then?"

"Yes I did."

"Stay here," Little Yichen said to Lisa. "I'll go to the bow and check it out."

"Okay."

Little Yichen made his way to the bow of the boat. The view from the cabin had cleared somewhat, however there remained a layer of ankle-deep water. He waded across the water to the bow of the boat and peered over the railing. He could see a large area of blood stained water in the direction of the bow.

This threw the boy into shock!

What was going on!?

Little Yichen's alert was raised. Then at this point, he suddenly saw an arm floating out from under the propeller along with the seawater. He thought it was a person and was confused. Then he suddenly realized that this arm was actually a severed limb!

It was a corpse!

A corpse had drifted to the bottom of the propeller, and the propeller had severed the arm, but the corpse was stuck. That was the reason that the propeller malfunctioned!

Crap.

The boy's eyelid suddenly twitched violently as he returned to the cockpit. He told Lisa, "A dead body has been caught in the propeller, now it's stuck."

"Why is there a corpse?!"

"I don't know either. What should we do now?"

Lisa said, "First we'll shut down all the devices on the yacht and dive into the sea. Then we'll have to clean up whatever's stuck in the propeller so it can function properly."

In other words, they had to personally go into the water and clean up the corpse before they could resume normal operations.

Little Yichen went into a daze!

Seeing his expression, Lisa immediately said, "I'll do it!"

"That's not necessary! I'll do it."

Lisa smiled, however, and said, "I've seen so many dead people in my life. It's just a corpse. Besides, I'm a better swimmer than you are, it will be safer for me to go. Get me the diving suit from the storage room."

"Okay." Little Yichen immediately went to the store to retrieve the diving suit.

Lisa turned off all the devices on the yacht and carried her diving suit to the bow of the boat. Suddenly, she heard some noise coming from nearby.

It was the sound of a man shouting through the loudspeaker.

She frowned and immediately reached for the binoculars strapped to her waist. She took a look and was so shocked that she took half a step back.
