Chapter 1241 Leaving the Island

Shi Lei fell silent, he was completely stumped by the satellite issue.

There are only more than 6,000 satellites in operation around this planet, and about half of them are still working. Is one-thirtieth of them going to be bought by the ferryman?

Shi Lei did not doubt that he could buy satellites. After all, a large proportion of all satellites belong to various companies.

According to recent data, the total number of satellites launched by countries in the world at the national level is only more than 2,000, and the remaining 60% to 70% are still working. This means that among the remaining more than 3,000 satellites that are still working, more than 50% still belong to various companies.

After all, the use of satellites is limited to a certain number of years. If the price is right, those companies may not be unwilling to sell their satellites, at least those satellites that have a short working time, or those that are no longer working and just continue to orbit the earth. There is definitely no problem.

To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of money.

But why does the ferryman buy satellites?

Form a satellite network of their own to locate all members of the Dark Night Eyes and catch them all in one fell swoop?

This seems a bit ridiculous.

Or, like in a certain shoddy American movie, they want to learn from the villain to purposefully control the crash of satellites in order to cause a fatal blow to the earth?

This is a bit like the character of the ferryman. Anyway, his goal is to cause a world-class panic, and it would be best to kill three-quarters of the world's population.

But first of all, the movie made a huge exaggeration, increasing the number of satellites orbiting the earth by ten times. At the same time, the filmmakers did not consider too much the loss caused by friction with the air after the satellite crashed into the atmosphere.

In any case, relying on a number of only one hundred satellites to threaten the governments of various countries on the earth is basically just YY.

Although the ferryman is perverted and a lunatic, he should not be so stupid as to really believe that the crash of a satellite can cause a world-class panic.

If he could control all the satellites orbiting the earth and make them go on strike at the same time, like in the movies, it would probably pose a greater threat to governments.

After all, these satellites are responsible for a lot of work and are directly related to the national defense and security of many countries. If all the satellites go on strike, it is possible that the earth's economy will go in reverse for more than ten or twenty years in an instant.

But one hundred satellites, or civil or corporate satellites, don't seem to be enough, right?

Shi Lei thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He was about to ask Manda a few more questions, but found that his subordinate Manda had black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his head tilted to one side, and he had been dead for a while.

Manda committed suicide.

She left a so-called clue that Shi Lei couldn't figure out, and then she committed suicide.

Manda knew that Shi Lei would never let her go alive, or she revealed the next possible action of the ferryman. Even if Shi Lei let her go, the ferryman would still kill her, so she chose to commit suicide.

Cyanide in teeth is probably a necessary drug for anyone who works in a dangerous profession to prepare a way out of torture.

Shi Lei knew that Manda had this kind of thing in his mouth, but he did not intend to stop Manda. Manda was able to tell him these things and then die, which was a worthy death.

Although there was still no clue about the satellite thing, at least Shi Lei knew that the person who was really responsible for monitoring Xu Zhida was not the ferryman himself, but Manda.

This means that Shi Lei and Dark Night Eyes overestimated the power of the ferryman, and he was not as magical as they imagined.

This can also be seen from the funds actually controlled by the ferryman. Less than 20 billion US dollars, this is probably one-seventh of the amount of funds that Shi Lei collected based on the information from the four consortiums.

Moreover, Shi Lei also knew the way the ferryman laundered money, which was probably a loophole that Dark Night Eyes had not checked for itself. It was time to make up for it.

In general, the information obtained from Manda is enough, and Shi Lei also believes Xu Zhida more. It seems that Xu Zhida has really woken up.

He opened the window and looked outside. After confirming that there was no one, Shi Lei jumped out lightly.

Then, he put on a mask and continued to walk towards the sea as Dickens.

He still met a few guards on the road, but they were still the same as during the day, and they didn't pay too much attention to Shi Lei who looked like Dickens.

Shi Lei was able to return to the cave easily.

The two divers were very excited to see Shi Lei coming back, which meant that they could leave the island.

Although it has always been safe here, if Shi Lei makes any noise on the island, it is hard to say, and they may be implicated.

Being able to leave the island is of course the best choice.

Shi Lei returned Dickens' clothes and wig to him, and told him that Xu Zhida had been convinced by him and was actively mobilizing ships to leave the island.

"Dickens, although you won't live long now, I think it would be a comfort for you if you have the chance to go back home and see your children again. Xu Zhida should give you the money he promised you, and I promised to take care of your wife and children for you, and I will do it. Now, go to the dock, and Xu Zhida will take you away. After finding Xu Zhida, ask him to call me, this is the number of my phone..." Shi Lei handed Dickens a note he had prepared long ago.

Dickens was very excited, and he trembled and said, "Mr. Shi, won't you go with us?"

Shi Lei shook his head and said, "In order to avoid possible trouble, I'd better not go with you. After all, those guards are not really Xu Zhida's people, they work for the two consortiums. As for me, I will leave the same way I came. I think this may be safer for me, and the same for you."

Dickens didn't dare to say more. He put on his clothes and wig, and hurriedly left the cave.

Shi Lei looked at the two divers and said, "We won't be in any danger for the time being. Do you think we should leave now and wait at the designated place for the boat to pick us up tomorrow, or stay in the cave until dawn?"

The two divers looked at each other and said in unison, "Let's go now."

One diver added, "Anyway, we are walking underwater, and there is not much difference between day and night. It is always dangerous to stay on the island, so I think we should leave immediately."

Another diver nodded and said, "We don't have to go back to the place where the boat put us into the water. Let's go to the reef first. At night, due to the tide, a small part of the reef will be above the water. According to my understanding, we should be able to stay on the reef. Of course, we can't sleep, but even here, we can't sleep."

Shi Lei had nothing to object to. The two divers were obviously more experienced than him in this regard.

After Xu Zhida called and Shi Lei confirmed with him that they had set sail and were ready to leave, Shi Lei threw away the satellite phone and went into the sea with the two divers.

In the dark night, with the help of the thruster, Shi Lei and two divers arrived at the destination more than an hour later.

Sure enough, the reef at night was half a meter above the water surface.

Make up 8. So far, the debt has been paid. I wish you all a happy reading.
