Chapter 495 A Brief Respite

The man in the suit was acting like a madman, his eyes turning blood red.

He had wondered before what reason the employer had for willing to spend such a price to find someone.

And now he finally understood.

"You'll know very soon..." I said with a smile.

The next instant, five arrows shot out, directly hitting the man in the suit's back.

The man in the suit's body trembled, and he instinctively turned his head, only to see the savages who had previously infiltrated the seabed, swimming up from below at some unknown time.

The arrows that landed on his back were shot by the five savages!

The man in the suit subconsciously prepared to pull the trigger, but the poison on the arrows had already evaporated.

The strength in the man in the suit's body was gradually dissipating.

I instantly moved closer, kicked the Gatling gun aside, and grabbed the man in the suit by the neck: "Tell me where your employer is!"

The man in the suit stared at me intently: "The secret of eternal life... If you tell me, I'll tell you!"

"Then forget it," I said. "I'll find him eventually!"

The man in the suit's eyes widened: "Please... I can, give you a lot of money..."

"Do you think money is useful in a place like this?" I retorted.

The man in the suit looked at me, the poison already spreading to every corner of his body. He struggled desperately, but to no avail.

His hand fell limply.

After the man in the suit died, the mercenaries showed no signs of sadness on their faces.

"All of you surrender your weapons and sit down over there," I said.

The mercenaries, without any hesitation, disarmed themselves of all their weapons and placed them in front of me.

They had heard me earlier when I spoke about the secret of eternal life, but at this moment, not a single one of them spoke.

After confirming they were unarmed and posed no significant threat, I let the savages go back and fetch the others.

Then, they were all bound and taken back to the camp.

Seeing me return, Luo Yaqin let out a sigh of relief, tears welling up in her eyes.

I counted the remaining mercenaries; there were thirty-two. I hadn't yet figured out what to do with them.

They possessed modern thinking abilities and ideas, and such people were precisely what I lacked.

But honestly, I didn't want to trust them!

Keeping them by my side might be a bomb waiting to explode.

However, I also felt a pang of reluctance to simply kill them.

After all, they had surrendered.

In this situation, I found myself in a dilemma.

I confined the mercenaries in a cave, with ten savages guarding the entrance.

Five savages would be on rotation, ensuring there were always savages on guard.

Then, I, along with Luo Yaqin and over twenty savages, returned to the beach.

The weapons left by these mercenaries now belonged to me, but I didn't pay much attention to them.

What I cared about was that ship!

I boarded the ship with Luo Yaqin.

To be honest, I had forgotten how long it had been since I had encountered anything modern.

Suddenly appearing on such a modern ship gave me a sense of being in another lifetime.

The ship contained a great many things. Besides a large amount of weaponry and equipment, there was also plenty of food and clothing. I even found a solar generator on board.

Seeing this array of modern items, I couldn't help but feel excited.

Luo Yaqin felt the same way, lying on a deck chair for a long time.

Compared to our excitement, the savages seemed bewildered.

These things were completely beyond their comprehension.

They wandered around, tapping and fiddling with the weapons they held. I didn't interfere.

I only instructed them to put away all the firearms, as they were not to be touched.

Without learning the correct way to use them, they might injure their own people, or even themselves.

Luo Yaqin and I spent a day and a night on the ship.

The ship's living facilities were very complete. I even cooked a packet of spaghetti and fried a steak, having a candlelit dinner with Luo Yaqin.

These things, which were once commonplace, appeared in this place, bringing an unexpected sense of surprise.

Then, I meticulously inspected the ship. Besides food, clothing, and weapons, I discovered that the ship was also equipped with large cannons.

However, the ammunition was limited, so it couldn't be wasted.

I knew very well that if the first group came, a second group would surely follow. I had to arm myself as much as possible.

And this ammunition might play a crucial role!

After briefly enjoying modern life, Luo Yaqin and I disembarked.

After defeating this group, I had a short respite. There were many things to do next!
