Chapter 1228 Preparing to Go to the Island

According to Yao Er's idea, he hoped to help Shi Lei arrange a team of mercenaries to go to the island with Shi Lei to ensure Shi Lei's safety.

But his proposal was rejected by Shi Lei without hesitation.

Just kidding, how could Shi Lei bring such a bunch of burdens? With Shi Lei's skills and marksmanship, he would not be in too much danger if he went up alone, but if he brought a team of mercenaries, wouldn't he have to turn back to take care of these people?

What's more, Shi Lei's strength was too amazing, and he didn't want to be exposed to too many people. It would be fine for ordinary people to see it, at most they would feel that Shi Lei's strength was quite amazing, and there would not be too many other feelings. But mercenaries, these guys have survived in the rain of bullets, and have a very deep understanding of the limits of human strength. Letting them see Shi Lei's strength will only make them deeply doubt human beings themselves.

So far, all those who have strengths beyond ordinary humans and have seen Shi Lei's strength have basically died.

The rest are not much stronger than ordinary people, or people that Shi Lei can completely trust.

It would definitely be a problem if a team of mercenaries found out that Shi Lei was as powerful as Captain America or the Winter Soldier.

After all the preparations were done, Shi Lei stayed in Hong Kong Island for a few days. After contacting the Malaysian fishermen and confirming the time for them to return to the island, Shi Lei flew to Malaysia.

After buying a lot of gifts locally, of course, they were nothing more than food and wine, Shi Lei came to the pier where the fishermen left the port.

Seeing that Shi Lei actually brought so many things on the boat, the fishermen were also confused.

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 Shi Lei brought food and drinks.

After arriving on the island, Shi Lei was not in a hurry to go to the island, but continued to stay on the island and went out to sea with the fishermen. After returning, he entertained them with the food and drinks he brought.

In just two or three days, the relationship between the fishermen and Shi Lei became closer, and almost everyone regarded him as their best friend.

When Shi Lei asked these "best friends" to help him get as close to the island as possible, these people were too embarrassed to refuse and just stuck to the bottom line of 15 nautical miles.

Early in the morning, the fishing boat was ready to set sail, and Shi Lei also took two people and a full set of diving equipment on board.

The fishermen knew what Shi Lei was going to do, but they turned a blind eye to it. However, a few of them came to warn 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 sent them to only 15 or 16 nautical miles away from the island, Shi Lei followed the two professional divers into the sea.

Because he had to dive deep to the island, Shi Lei went to a professional diving club on the beach to learn when he was in Hong Kong Island, so this was not his first time diving.

Shi Lei's physical fitness and other aspects were far superior to ordinary people, so he learned very quickly. Basically, he was able to master it after learning from the coach of the diving club once. Even in the deep sea, he could do things that even professional divers couldn't do. In principle, it didn't matter whether the two divers accompanied him or not. However, they were professionals after all. In addition to diving, they had many other professional skills to ensure that Shi Lei could dive to the island in the shortest time.

Shi Lei poked his head out of the sea and waved to the fishermen. The fisherman in charge of driving the boat shouted to Shi Lei: "We will come here once every day between 10 and 11 in the morning. If you need 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 slowly drove away, and the people on the fishing boat looked at each other in silence and shook their heads.

"Fifteen nautical miles away, I 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 boring. They just want to find some excitement."

"Then I wish this gentleman good luck. I hope he can come back safely. Anyway, I still think this is no different from seeking death."

"Maybe when we come here tomorrow, we will see him again. He will definitely understand that the distance of fifteen nautical miles is not so easy to cross."

Shi Lei and the two frogmen certainly couldn't hear these words. They stayed in the deep sea water and cruised around. Two professional frogmen opened a dial-like device in the sea water, looking for it, and then pointed to a certain direction and led Shi Lei to swim over.

After swimming for about one nautical mile, a reef appeared in front of the three people, and on the reef, a two or three-meter-long rope was tied.

At the other end of the rope, there was a huge box. Shi Lei and the other two sped up and swam towards the box.

There were some tools tied to the box. After the three of them got the tools, they opened the box without much 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 put them on.

After helping each other check and confirming that the push device was firmly fixed on the body, the three nodded and made an OK gesture. Then, Shi Lei raised three fingers, one by one, and when he clenched his fist, the three pressed the button on the push device almost at the same time.

A wave of air shot out from the backs of the three people, and the bodies of the three people quickly pushed forward in the sea, and soon reached a speed of nearly 20 kilometers per hour.

This was what Shi Lei had asked Yao Er to prepare a long time ago. As early as a few days ago, these devices had been sent here, dropped from the plane, and then someone tied them to this reef.

Shi Lei is not a fool. Fifteen nautical miles, a distance of nearly 30 kilometers, even with a full set of diving equipment, how could he swim over? Even if he swam there, he would probably die of exhaustion on the beach.

With this set of push devices, it was much simpler. Maintaining a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour, it took only more than an hour to reach the shore of the island.

Not only this set of equipment, but also the diving suits and oxygen supply equipment they wear are actually high-tech products, which are definitely not comparable to ordinary diving suits on the market.

This diving suit is already quite close to the level of bulletproof vests in terms of strength, and is made of high-density carbon fiber.

If it is on the shore, it may not be able to withstand the impact of bullets, but in the water, as long as it is not shot at close range by a sniper rifle, it can basically block the bullets outside the diving suit.

The oxygen supply device behind is also specially made.

It looks like the same size as an ordinary diving oxygen cylinder, but in fact, the compressed air content here is more than five times that of an ordinary oxygen cylinder.
