Chapter 498 – News about the air crash! (1/2)

Afternoon.

Onboard the cargo ship.

Dong Xuebing finally got onto the deck and looked around while panting. Three Asian crew are standing 3 meters diagonally away from him, and they are the ones he saw from the reef rock. These men look like Japanese from their features, and one of them is smoking. The cigarette smoke is hanging in mid-air, and the other two men are smiling. They seem to be laughing over something before STOP comes into effect.

Dong Xuebing hides before saying STOP in his heart.

Time resumed.

“Who do you think is that person?”

“He should be a fisherman caught in a shipwreck. But why is he here?”

“That’s right. Hahaha… He is still hoping to be saved by us.”

“I think he will not last a few days without food and water. He will die here sooner or later.”

“Yes. No ships other than us, making a detour, will pass by here.”

“Eh? Where is that man? Look at that reef rock!”

“Was he swept into the sea by the waves?”

“I did not see any waves. Could he be swimming after us?”

“Hahaha… what an idiot. Swim? He must catch up with us first!”

Dong Xuebing does not understand what they are saying but can tell they speak in some Japanese dialects. Are these people Japanese?! Damn! I had boarded your country’s place and met with an air crash, and you all refused to save me?! He can tell these people are not sea crew from their expression. They look more like gangsters, and he was shocked to see them carry guns on their waist!

Is this a smuggler’s ship?

Is it use for drugs or human trafficking?

Dong Xuebing finally understood why this ship had passed by this area. Most cargo ships will avoid navigation routes near areas with reef rocks. But this is not the time to think about all these. He needs to find water, as his legs are wobbly after running a few hundred meters.

STOP!

Time stopped again!

Dong Xuebing looks at the three Japanese and entered the bridge behind them, and closes the door.

An armed middle-aged man is standing guard inside.

Dong Xuebing walks past him and looks into every room inside.

A few moments later, Dong Xuebing’s eyes brighten. He had entered a room for resting, and there’s no one around. He closed the door behind him and looked around. There’s a bed, a table, a coffee table, a TV, two pieces of bread on the table, and a pot of coffee. The coffee should be placed there for a while as it is not hot anymore.

Is this the captain’s cabin? It’s quite luxurious.

Dong Xuebing immediately resume time. STOP!
