Chapter 240: No Overnight Grudges for a Gentleman!
Looking down at the boats from the helicopter, Alex initially thought they weren't too large. However, upon standing on one of the boats, he realized that they were all quite sizable. A single person might struggle to control them.
If he wanted to secretly search for that destroyer, Alex hoped to find a smaller, more agile fishing boat. This way, he could be more discreet and have better control.
This port had clearly suffered from looting. Many fishermen likely left the port with their boats after the apocalypse, heading to numerous islands overseas.
Magic City is located at the mouth of the Huangpu River, which directly flows into the sea. Not far from the river mouth is a group of islands. Some islands have been developed for tourism, but most are small and uninhabited, serving as resting points for some fishermen.
Alex speculated that the people on the destroyer might be hiding on one of these islands, where they had established a refuge. This time, it seemed they specifically organized a team to collect supplies and food on the mainland.
Although they could fish in the sea, relying solely on seafood would be unsustainable for most people.
Alex continued to navigate through the fishing boats and finally found a boat that met his requirements. Strictly speaking, it wasn't a fishing boat but a small yacht.
Inside the yacht, a male zombie in swimwear, wearing a Rolex diving watch, and two female zombies in bikinis were banging on the windows. The cabin was filled with blood, minced flesh, and two tattered bikinis, along with two pairs of human bones.
These unfortunate souls on the yacht fell victim to the outbreak of the apocalypse.
Five out of the five people on the yacht turned into zombies. Moreover, these five people were enjoying life in the cabin when the apocalypse suddenly erupted. The abrupt outbreak of the apocalypse led to the demise of this group of handsome men and beautiful women.
Judging from their attire, they were undoubtedly upper-class individuals from before the apocalypse. Otherwise, they wouldn't have owned a yacht of this size. A yacht of this size would have cost at least a million before the apocalypse.
Alex casually kicked open the door of the yacht. Three zombie heads roared and rushed out, but Alex swiftly turned around, kicking the three zombies into the sea one after another. Unexpectedly, these three zombies could swim. After struggling in the seawater for a while, they slowly swam towards the shore.
"Damn, it stinks!"
A foul smell emanated from the yacht, causing Alex to involuntarily curse. Walking to the cockpit, Alex pondered the operation process of the yacht.
To be honest, Alex had no idea how to operate this kind of yacht. He couldn't even drive a car smoothly. Now, having to navigate a yacht by himself, he felt a bit at a loss.
But that was okay.
The operation of this yacht seemed similar to a car – there was an accelerator, a steering wheel, and a clutch system. Alex turned the key inserted into it, and the yacht started up.
The "vroom vroom vroom" sound echoed, and mimicking the way one drives a car, Alex sat in the driver's seat, gently stepping on the accelerator.
Turning the steering wheel, the yacht directly collided with the nearby fishing boat.
Fortunately, the speed wasn't fast. Alex adjusted the yacht to reverse and then accelerated, bringing the yacht to the open sea. After a period of adaptation, Alex finally managed to control the yacht and sailed it towards the open sea. Read the latest on m_v-l'e|m,p| y- r
The archipelago outside Magic City, near the mouth of the Huangpu River, was not far away. The vast sea, with only a few seabirds flying, was much simpler than the crowded city streets.
Alex pressed the accelerator abruptly, and the yacht raced towards a distant, faintly visible island. Running away while looking at the mountain. Running dead even when looking at the sea.
Staring at the nearby island, Alex drove straight for over half an hour before barely being able to see the situation on the island.
However, Alex had just found a complete maritime map inside the cockpit.
The introduction to the entire archipelago was very detailed.
The island that Alex could see now was called Jiangxin Island. It was the nearest island to the mouth of the Huangpu River. From the map, this island, occupying a decent area, was approximately two to three square kilometers in size.
However, this island was not suitable for habitation.
The island was barren, covered with rocks, and though there was some vegetation, the entire island was too steep and lacked flat areas to land.
Alex circled the island and then looked at the map again.
The archipelago outside Magic City had about twenty to thirty islands of varying sizes.
The largest was Yingguang Island, covering approximately 19 square kilometers.
The smallest was a rocky island half the size of the current Jiangxin Island, with just over one square kilometer.
Alex roughly gestured, and the nearest island from his current location that also matched the direction a destroyer might go was Yingguang Island.
After all, it was the largest island among the largest archipelago, and before the apocalypse, Yingguang Island had developed tourist attractions. If Alex remembered correctly, every year many tourists would visit the island for sightseeing. There should be island villas, as well as facilities such as beaches and a sea paradise.
So, according to normal circumstances, the people on the destroyer were likely headed to Yingguang Island.
While that was the initial thought, Alex suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost his direction.
"Damn!" Looking at the scorching sun overhead, Alex couldn't help but curse silently. When he circled Jiangxin Island just now, he had already lost his direction. Although the sun was there to indicate the direction, Alex suddenly didn't know the specific direction to Jiangxin Island.
In this vast and featureless sea, a slight deviation could lead to a completely different result.
At this moment, Alex realized that he had oversimplified the sea.
He picked up the map and compared it with the sun to find his location. After figuring out the position, regardless of anything else, he stepped on the gas and accelerated straight in one direction.
Perhaps Eushen's skill played a role. Alex, blindly navigating, unexpectedly arrived at a large island with a beach. When Alex set out, it was already late afternoon. After wandering aimlessly at sea, it was now dusk.
Without the sun and lacking navigational knowledge, Alex had no choice but to anchor the yacht on the small island. According to the map and Alex's previous knowledge of Yingguang Island, this island, although quite large, was definitely not Yingguang Island. It should be the third-ranked island—Mermaid Island.
