Chapter 1509 767: Kind Words Fall on Deaf Ears, Mercy Fails to Save (Part 3)
"Me! Me! Me! It's my turn!"
A jumping child raised his hand: "I, I want to draw a puppy!"
Thus, the Peacekeeping Cat, crouched in a corner like part of the scenery, lowered its head, allowing the excited children to doodle on the blank space above.
Under the illumination of the lights, everything turned dreamlike, even the distant clouds and thunder in the sky seemed unreachable.
The years were tranquil and good.
Unfortunately, some people are destined not to enjoy such blessings.
Under the gradually darkening night, a group of people quietly untied the ropes at the secret dock on the barren shore, boarding their vessel under the cover of night.
Disregarding the looming clouds and thunder in the distance, they started the ship and set out to sea in the dead of night!
On the dead-silent ship, no lights were lit, slipping inch by inch from Luo Island's waters at a snail's pace, concealed by the night.
Once they confirmed their arrival in international waters, everyone could no longer contain their shouts and cheers of excitement.
Lights from the waiting forerunners ahead signaled to them. Thus, a fleet of various sizes gathered under the night sky, setting forth once more toward the turbulent sea!
In the clouds above, the drone's indicator lights flickered dimly.
Indifferently, they looked away from them.
Paying no attention.
There's a saying: life will always find a way out.
No matter how Ji Jue tried to blockade and warn, ultimately, there would be those who couldn't restrain themselves and treated the exaggerated rewards as if they were already in their pockets, hastily rushing towards their self-destruction.
Besides, there may be a lack of many things in the Seven Cities, but there's definitely not a lack of ships, as numerous as stray dogs on the roadside, impossible to stop.
Even under the surveillance of the Paradise System, the entire Luo Island was under Ji Jue's control. If he wished, not even a single plank would be allowed to go to sea, and that would not be an empty promise. Yet, facing the many ships leaving the island under the cover of night, he still made no reaction.
Want to leave?
Then just leave!
If you want to go, go! All of you!
And then, just when they almost finished departing, the silent Luo Island Fleet collectively set sail, joining the daily patrols.
They completely sealed off the waters of Luo Island!
Once you've left, don't come back.
Under the darkened sky, the returning fleet, fully loaded, arrived at Luo Island's waters, only to find the warships already in formation and the black muzzles of the cannons.
The sharp blare of alarms repeated over and over.
"Vessel ahead, please leave immediately. You are about to enter Luo Island's waters. We will retaliate. I repeat, ahead—"
Countless drones moved up and down like a flock of birds, covering the sky and looking down coldly.
As a result, the faces on the ship that were still brimming with excitement froze in place.
"Wait a minute, isn't this a mistake?"
"What's going on?"
"Don't shoot, we're on the same side! We're on the same side!"
Under the intimidation of the ship cannons, the previously jubilant fleet rapidly slowed down and halted on the sea. But no matter how they inquired over the radio, all they received was a cold response.
Leave immediately!
"Officer, we're all from Luo Island, we all are…" The captain was sweating profusely: "You must have made a mistake."
The voice on the other end of the radio remained cold: "Luo Island's maritime restrictions have not been lifted or opened. To date, besides the officially required Fuel Element transport ships, no other vessels go to sea."
"Wait, wait a minute, I have proof!" A crew member's eyes lit up, and he frantically rummaged through his pockets, pulling out his Identity Card, stammering to read the number, repeating it several times.
Regrettably, it failed to melt the ice.
"It's fake."
The voice on the other end grew colder: "This Identity Card was canceled two days ago. Stop wasting our time with meaningless words, turn around immediately!"
Bang!
Amid a loud noise, the secondary cannon suddenly fired, the shell grazing the fleet and plunging into the sea, stirring up large waves.
The people on the ship froze, their faces gradually turning ashen.
They didn't expect Ji to be so ruthless.
"If this place doesn't keep you, somewhere else will!"
The captain, furiously unable to suppress his anger: "Anyway, I have enough money, I'll sever ties with Luo Island and let Ji regret it!"
After lingering for a while, the fleet ultimately left under the threat of the ship cannons, heading unwaveringly toward Dan City.
The radio was still filled with curses.
But no one cared.
The Coast fleet coldly sealed off the entire sea area, having driven away four fleets of various sizes, and no one dared venture out to sea anymore.
Not inquiring about casualties, nor the hunt.
Since you've left Luo Island, find your own path.
Everyone has dreams, each splendid in their own way.
Amid the Thousand Islands, many heavyweight messages came rushing, and the entire Seven Cities continuously reported someone suddenly becoming rich overnight, buying citizenships of the Federation or Empire, going to enjoy life. Or it was about an entire fleet being wiped out with no remains… so common, nothing surprising.
And amidst ever-increasing harvests and larger and larger bounties, the shipbuilding and repairing industries in the entire Seven Cities experienced a boom unseen in decades.
No matter how Ji Jue objected or maintained observation, he still couldn't affect this collective craze that had swept through the entire Thousand Islands.
Under the unending myths of sudden wealth, countless people pawned their family assets, gritting their teeth, stomped their feet, and bought second-hand ships after taking loans, then set sail.
Those who had nothing but their lives chose to give up life to pursue that unattainable Illusion Light.
Amid countless dream-like hopes mirrored, everything was thriving.
The Seven Cities roiled, boiling and surging.
Singing and revelry seemed endless.
Under the gaze of indifferent eyes, step by step toward the predetermined end.
When the storm clouds again appeared on the horizon, Ji Jue lifted his head from the workshop.
Unable to suppress himself again, he silently smiled.
"Finally…"
Just now, the seal in the Sea Abyss had been triggered!
Like a buoy on the water, gently rising and falling.
The big fish is about to bite!
