“Devil’s Den Island. This island didn’t have a name in the past. More than twenty years ago, all the ships that approached this island were killed for no reason. Gradually, no one dared to approach this island. Hence, it was called Devil’s Den Island.”
After the introduction, Sha Zelong looked up at the Yan siblings who remained silent.
The siblings looked down at the map in thought.
He then said, “There are only these two islands left. We’ll act together tomorrow and investigate AMo Island first. Devil’s Den Island is our last destination.”
“Sure.”
“Bring enough ammunition. Our rescue target is likely on these two islands.”
“Okay.”
After the meeting ended, Yan Nuo called Ji Yinbing as usual.
Ji Yinbing had never spoken much, but every day, she would pick up Yan Nuo’s call on time.
Yan Nuo was already used to her silence. He leaned against the window and looked at the night sky. He said to Ji Yinbing, “The seafood here is really delicious. Next time, let’s come together.”
Recently, he had said many things to her.
Ji Yinbing did not agree.
She asked casually, “How delicious is it?”
“It’s so delicious that I want you to try it too.” Only when he tasted real delicacies would Yan Nuo want to bring Ji Yinbing to try it.
Ji Yinbing said, “It must be delicious then.”
“We have the last two islands to explore.”
“Then are you coming back soon?” Ji Yinbing’s tone was quite casual. However, when Yan Nuo heard this, his mood improved. “Yes, we’re coming back soon.”
Are you waiting for me to come back too? Do you miss me too?
He wanted to ask, but he was afraid that the answer would disappoint him.
“There are two more islands. One is Amo Island and the other is Devil’s Den Island. I wonder if our rescue target is here.”
“Devil’s Den Island?” Ji Yinbing said. “This island doesn’t sound good.”
“It’s also very dangerous. The locals say that in the past twenty years, all the ships that approached this island have sunk. They call the Devil’s Den the Small Bermuda.”
“Is it really that mysterious?”
“We’ll find out tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
Yan Nuo was about to hang up when Ji Yinbing reminded him softly, “Be careful.”
Yan Nuo was stunned.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up on his cold and rigid face. “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Yan Nuo threw it on the bedside table.
He placed his hands under his head and thought about many things in a daze.
He recalled a few years ago, before Ji Yinbing became Zhuang Long’s fixed partner, she had always been by his side. When he went on missions, she would be the doctor in the team. Ji Yinbing’s skills were actually quite good. Although she could not beat Yan Nuo, her physical fitness was not inferior to that of ordinary mercenaries.
Yan Nuo’s subordinates all liked Ji Yinbing because many of them had been pulled back from the gates of hell by Ji Yinbing.
They respected and loved her.
Later on, Ji Yinbing and Zhuang Long developed a strong partnership, so she simply settled in America.
Yan Nuo thought that when he returned this time, he would propose to Ji Yinbing and marry her. She did not like India and did not like to have a nose ring after marriage. In this case, he would bring her to America to settle down. They would be an equal and loving couple. It did not matter if they did not have children. They could adopt or be childless.
Yan Nuo entered a dream.
In his dream, he returned to the day Fang Yusheng got married.
He snatched the flowers from Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng. He handed the flowers to Ji Yinbing, who accepted them with a faint smile.
At that time, she smiled beautifully.
When he woke up the next morning, Yan Nuo recalled the dream and could not help but open his bag. His bag contained various weapons and ammunition. He took out a small embroidered belt from the small cloth bag in his bag.
Inside the brocade belt was a ring.
He had bought this ring in Binjiang City. He had been waiting for a suitable opportunity to propose to Ji Yinbing.
However, just as they returned from Binjiang City, the resurrected Vera suddenly appeared.
Her appearance interrupted his plan.
After that, many things happened. This ring had been with him for almost four years. It had never been given away, nor had the day come when it was worn on Ji Yinbing’s finger. Yan Nuo touched the ring and pondered for a moment before carefully putting it into the pocket on the chest of his combat uniform.
The ring was pressed against his chest, as if Ji Yinbing was just beside him.
At four o’clock, the group set off.
Two hours later, they arrived at Amo Island.
From afar, they saw the Siren statue standing at the highest point of the island, overlooking the passing ships and the surging waves.
Some people said that Siren was a human-faced bird and even looked a little like a mermaid.
It had a heavenly voice that could bewitch all passing ships.
The group of people looked at the statue and were stunned.
On the sea, the sea breeze blew, and the wind howled like the song of a siren.
Yan Yun looked at the statue and said, “Although it looks pretty, is this a human, bird, or fish?” She frowned and asked a world-famous question. “If she wants to mate with a man, what position should she use?”
Everyone was speechless.
Instead, it was Sha Zelong, who had always been serious, who replied, “Tie their wings and nail their fishtails. They can use any position they want.”
Yan Yun tilted her head and looked at him. She felt that Sha Zelong was looking at her hands.
She narrowed her eyes, smiled, and said, “It’s best not to say anything bad about the sea demons when we go out to sea. Be careful not to sink into the sea.”
The group of people chatted and laughed as they went ashore.
The island was quiet. No one usually lived on it, but there were some buildings. In September, when the local fishermen came here to celebrate, they would spend the night in these houses. They searched the island, but to no avail.
A group of people left the island and boarded the ship to the last island.
Yan Yu and Sha Zelong stood on the deck. Both of them were wearing wide jackets, but they were wearing combat suits inside. Yan Yu asked Sha Zelong, “Do you think those people might hide the rescue target on Devil’s Den Island?”
“It’s meaningless to say things like ‘I think so’.” Sha Zelong did not say anything that he was not confident in.
“I guessed you would say that.” She also never said anything that she was not confident of.
Sha Zelong did not say anything.
Yan Yu suddenly moved closer to Sha Zelong.
Sha Zelong glanced at her from the corner of his eye and remained silent.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the waves. His expression did not change.
Someone suddenly poked the back of his hand.
Sha Zelong lazily glanced at the spot where he was poked, but he still did not say anything.
Seeing that he was too lazy to even fart, Yan Yu scolded him in disdain. Since he was like a wooden block, she could only speak. She coughed and asked Sha Zelong. “Is your mother… still angry?”
Sha Zelong looked at her coldly and asked, “Do you know how to be afraid now? Why weren’t you afraid when you smashed her car with the mace?”
