The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457 

“Ms. Labenz, we can’t stay here for long. Let’s go back,” Haylan said in a deep voice. 

Although Buckminster Payne was killed and the bombs were being removed, it was ultimately not a good idea to hang 

around in the vast sea. 

Moreover, so many people had died here. The whole place was covered in blood and the stench of blood assailed the nostrils. This made the place even less appealing to hang around in. 

“Alright. I’ll listen to you,” Reign answered obediently. 

“Oh no! The other two ships have left!” 

At this moment, a panic-stricken cry rang out from outside. 

Everyone hurriedly walked out of the casino and looked out. 

The other two Swan Cruise ships had already sailed off into the distance like arrows being shot from a bow. 

“Haylan, should we go after them?” Xander Zoran asked. 

There were definitely still many evil mercenaries on those two ships. If they were allowed to leave, they would probably show up in the future to continue committing atrocities. 

“Oh no! Our ship’s diesel fuel tank has been emptied!” 

At this moment, a deck crew covered in blood rushed out, his eyes filled with panic. 

When Josef, Gierczak, Sharvin Lewton, and Sybil Labenz heard this, their expressions changed drastically. 

They were in the open sea, and it was still a long way from Longhard Kingdom. Without diesel fuel, such a large ship could only drift with the sea currents. It was as difficult as ascending to the sky for them to reach the shore. 

Perhaps they might even drift forever in the sea until they died. 

Sharvin quickly gave Eden an eye signal. 

Without another word. Eden tossed away the long-barreled gun in his hand and quickly walked toward the engine room of the cruise ship. 

Ten minutes later, he walked back with a grin expression and nodded at Sharvin. 

Sharvin’s face clouded over at once. 

There was really no more diesel fuel! 

This was equivalent to the ship losing its power and could only drift in the sea. Those mercenaries had taken the other two cruise ships away. It was clear that the mercenaries wanted to trap them in the open sea. 

“Slay, what should we do?” Sybil was extremely anxious and instinctively looked at Slayder Zoner. 

“Your High… Ms. Labenz, don’t worry. There will be a way, Slayder said. 

Upon hearing this, Haylan and Xander immediately looked at the two of them. 

At this moment, they both understood. 

Slayder and Sybil knew each other. It was very likely that Slayder was Sybil’s bodyguard and he had been silently protecting Sybil all this while. 

“No wonder this guy kept following me wherever we went. So that’s why. Xander muttered. 

“You can tell if you just use your dumb brain and think. How could someone like her not have a secret bodyguard?* Haylan said indifferently. 

Xander looked aggrieved. “Haylan, I am not dumb.” 

“At any rate, the current situation has nothing to do with us. Quickly think of a way to contact the outside world and see if we can get any assistance, Haylan said. 

In the open sea, if such a heavy cruise ship did not have any power, there was no way to determine the right direction. 

Xander nodded. He immediately took out his cell phone and lowered his head to view it. 

He immediately frowned when he saw that there was no reception on his cell phone. 

There’s no reception on my phone? What’s going on? 

“Before those villains attacked, I could still contact the outside world. Why is there no reception now!” 

“My cell phone has no reception either. 

“If we can’t contact the outside world, what should we do? Are we going to drift with the ocean currents?” 

“Look, guys! This cruise ship is starting to drift.” 

Josef, Sharvin, Sybil, Gierczak, and the others also had grim expressions. They felt the movement of the cruise ship and their hearts were filled with intense despair. 

“What happened to the anchor?” Sharvin roared out. 

“When you guys were trapped, the anchor chain had already been destroyed by those bad guys. The anchor chain had already dropped into the sea. We can’t stop the cruise ship from drifting now, the deck crew said. 

“There must be a satellite phone system on the cruise ship. Where’s the satellite phone?” Eden asked calmly. 

“Not anymore. They were all destroyed by those bad guys. Moreover, they threw all the communication equipment into the sea, the deck crew said. 

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell into despair again. 

There was no way to contact the outside world. The cruise ship had lost its power and was drifting with the sea currents. Who knew what kind of place it would drift to? 

Wouldn’t they die very tragically if the ship drifted to somewhere deep within the Great Placid Sea? 

After all, the supplies on this ship could only last for seven days at most! 

Without diesel fuel, the various refrigeration facilities on the cruise ship would also lose power. They would not be able to last long with just dry food. 

“What should we do? What should we do?” 

Everyone was extremely dejected, and the place became even more chaotic. Everyone felt a deep sense of crisis. 

Swish! 

Suddenly, everyone present looked at Haylan, their eyes filled with anticipation and hope. 

Earlier, when they were in despair. Haylan led his team and wiped out the mercenaries, saving them from the abyss of suffering. Now that they were in trouble again. they subconsciously looked to Haylan for help. 

In their minds, Haylan would definitely have a way to bring them out of this predicament. 

“Mr. Jaber, do you have any solutions for this situation?” Gierczak asked. 

Haylan stood on the weather deck and felt the salty sea breeze blowing past him. He looked around and frowned deeply. 

Judging from the direction of the wind and the sun’s position, this cruise ship was drifting toward the Great Placid Sea. If this situation was not dealt with now, the ship would probably drift further and further away. In the end, everyone would die because of the lack of supplies. 

“Haylan, this…” Reign also looked at Haylan worriedly. 

This situation was different from being stuck deep in the mountains and forests. In the deep mountains and forests, they still had places to search for resources, water, and food. 

However, in the open sea, once the stored drinking water was used up, everyone would die in less than three days! 

“Every cloud has a silver lining. Everything will turn out fine!”
