The speed at which they drew their guns was just a little slower than Wei Xiao Bei. Several pebbles flew out of his hands in the instant he charged forward. In the blink of an eye, the makeshift projectiles had pierced through the arms of the four people, forcing them to drop their handguns.
Wei Xiao Bei had already arrived by their side and easily knocked all four of them unconscious.
The metal door leading to the basement had an electronic lock. Wei Xiao Bei had no way of deciphering the code, but his above-average intelligence quickly allowed him to find a solution.
He lifted his right hand and the entire metal door was silently drawn into his storage bag.
That was the benefit of the storage bag. As long as it wasn’t a life form and there was sufficient space in the storage bag, any item could be drawn into the bag.
One had to admit that storage equipment like the storage bag was truly an excellent tool for robbing treasuries.
Wei Xiao Bei followed the passage down. Three military officers were standing in front of the prison and trying to get Steven and the others to reveal their experiences.
Steven and the others had been completely silent after they came back. This quickly drew the attention of the Bureau of Military Information.
If it wasn’t for their reluctance to speak up, Stephen and the others would not have been locked up so quickly.
Wei Xiao Bei had the soldiers maintain silence after leaving the Dust World.
This wasn’t an oversight on Wei Xiao Bei’s part. After all, members from Military Information weren’t afraid of you talking. They were afraid of you not talking.
As long as you replied to their questions when they asked, they would quickly be able to obtain the information they wanted.
You were done for the moment you started speaking. Even if you remained completely silent afterward, the truth serum would make you spit out the truth.
Thus, the best plan of action was to remain completely silent. That would at least buy a certain amount of time.
At the very least, the people from Military Information would suspect that you had been the victim of some severe psychological trauma.
“Gentlemen, it’s about time this matter concluded. ”
Suddenly, the officers discovered expressions of joy and surprise on the faces of Steven and the others. They wanted to pursue the issue, but they heard a voice behind them.
The next moment, they felt their necks hurt and they fell unconscious.
To avoid making any sounds and to misdirect these information officers, Wei Xiao Bei intentionally spoke English with a bit of a French accent. The accent he was using was very easily picked up upon.
Undoubtedly, this sentence from Xiao Bei helped immensely in hiding his identity in the future.
He had caused the Bureau to focus their attention on Europe. However, whether they suspected Britain or France was a different question.
Steven and the others did not speak at all. Even when Xiao Bei knocked the officers unconscious and opened the cell to let them out, they remained silent and indicated for Xiao Bei to do so as well.
Steven pressed a small box on the table after leaving the cell. It was only then that he let out a breath of relief. However, he still didn’t speak yet. It wasn’t until they were out of the place that Steven explained himself.
The small box was a simple voice recording system that the Military Information Bureau used to record sounds. Moreover, Steven didn’t know how many other voice recording devices or bugs might have been planted in the underground space.
After all, the people from Military Information were all experts on this matter. They would replay the voices they recorded over and over and find a point of breakthrough from your words!
Wei Xiao Bei did not waste any time after saving Stephen and the others. He quickly explained his arrangements.
After all, one person’s idea wouldn’t be quite enough when it came to matters like this. Xiao Bei also wished the soldiers would express their own opinion. After all, they were much more familiar with the environment here and could better contribute to the escape plan.
Wei Xiao Bei’s idea was to get a fishing boat and have everyone board the boat all the way to Australia. They would then find a way to get to China. Meanwhile, Wei Xiao Bei would cause some destruction in Hawaii and attract the attention of the army.
After all, fishing boats were far too common in the Pacific. It was easy to make your way through any inspections. Of course, if they were unfortunate and got intercepted before they even got out of the Hawaiian Islands, their fate would become much more uncertain.
The soldiers didn’t have much of an opinion after hearing Xiao Bei’s arrangements. Rather, it was Stephen that started adding suggestions after a quick nod.
The rough idea was to drive away with a patrol boat from Island G. They would then change to a fishing boat once they were in open waters. Then, Xiao Bei could drive the patrol boat toward America and set the boat to continue cruising in a certain direction. Afterward, he was free to do whatever destruction and vandalism he liked.
This way, the attention of the American army would be on the patrol boat, providing the others with the chance to escape.
Now that the matter had been decided, Xiao Bei did not hesitate at all. At any rate, everyone on the island had already been knocked out by him. He was free to do whatever he wanted.
Stephen and the others quickly drove away with the patrol boat. They left Hawaii and proceeded to an unpopulated island offshore where they waited for Xiao Bei. Meanwhile, Xiao Bei returned to the speed boat and returned ahead of the others.
After returning the speed boat, he disguised himself slightly and went to the pier.
He couldn’t help but frown when he reached it. The situation was slightly different from what he expected.
The place was well-lit and people were everywhere.
Trying to steal a fishing boat in such an environment was really not easy.
Fortunately, after walking about listlessly for a few rounds, he found a five-hundred-ton fishing boat near the shore. The people on the boat all left after selling their catch.
Wei Xiao Bei discreetly jumped into the water, diving to the other side of the boat and climbing in. He then let himself into the wheelhouse.
Luckily, though the boat itself was fairly old, it wasn’t hard to start its engine. Wei Xiao Bei managed to start the boat with his driving skills after some difficulty and immediately and very boldly drove away.
It was a fairly thrilling experience. This was the first time he was driving a fishing boat. The sensation was completely different from driving a speed boat. The speed boat was like a motorcycle, while this was like a truck.
Either way, his driving skill had already reached the Advanced level. He might still be somewhat new to the skill, but he still managed to drive the fishing boat offshore after knocking into a few things along the way.
After leaving Stephen and the others with a phone number and some money, Xiao Bei drove the patrol boat around Hawaii and set it on unmanned cruising mode. He then jumped off the ship, watching the patrol boat move some distance toward America before finally turning back.
Wei Xiao Bei returned to the hotel. He turned on the television and started watching a show while playing on his phone. He rejected a few beauties who had come to the door offering special services along the way. It wasn’t until noon that Xiao Bei leisurely exited the hotel, rented yet another speed boat and took two tanned and pretty ladies out to sea for some fun.
As he expected, a patrol boat quickly approached him soon after he left the coast. The people on the boat signalled for him to stop for inspection.
“Hello, what’s the matter? “Wei Xiao Bei embraced a lady in each hand as if he was a young, rich playboy. A hint of envy could be seen in the eyes of all the soldiers that boarded the ship for inspection.
It was clear that they were very envious of him. They needed to diligently search around for the escaped soldiers, while this damned Chinese guy was hugging two beautiful ladies and enjoying their embrace. They so wanted to send him to jail.
Perhaps because they didn’t want to be provoked any further, the soldiers quickly returned to their patrol boats and left after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the boat.
In truth, these actions were only a way for the American soldiers to express how diligent they were being at work.
They had searched for over two hours and had made absolutely no discoveries.
It wasn’t hard to imagine what had happened. Since those bastards had stolen the patrol boat they couldn’t possibly still remain here. Wouldn’t that make them absolute idiots?
Moreover, this speedboat wasn’t any sort of luxury liner. It couldn’t conceal anyone.
Wei Xiao Bei knew that if they were still searching here, it meant that they had not found the speed boat yet.
Though he didn’t destroy the GPS location system on the ship, trying to find a patrol boat in the vast sea thirteen hours after it had been driven away was not an easy task either.
When night fell, Xiao Bei took advantage of the cover of night and took off the kingston valve of a coast guard vessel. This caused the ship to sink in the port, leading to a commotion.
This action led the officers in charge of the search to believe that some of the people in Stephen’s group were still hiding in Hawaii.
Consequently, Wei Xiao Bei, who had been trying to get rid of his V-Card in the hotel, was pushed to the ground by some law enforcement, leaving a terrified woman on the bed.
There was no doubt that the officers had increased the intensity of the search and the looks of suspicion had turned to land.
However, such an aggressive search resulted in a wave of complaints from the managers of the hotels. Every tourist in their establishments had been pressed against the cold, hard ground after having their door busted through. This feeling was enough to turn their impressions of Hawaii into a negative one.
Correspondingly, the hotel management had no choice but to use free promotions and other means to assuage the tourists.
The search operation on land temporarily concluded on the second day.
Wei Xiao Bei had no sources, but he could guess that the patrol boat had been found.
After all, close-shore vessels like the patrol boat would be lucky to make it two thousand nautical miles out in the ocean with a full tank.
Wei Xiao Bei wouldn’t know what to say about the American army if they couldn’t find the patrol boat in a day, especially with its GPS system still intact.
Wei Xiao Bei didn’t stay in Hawaii for too long. After blowing up at the hotel manager and expressing that he retained the right to sue, he boarded a plane with a furious expression that read ‘I will never come back to Hawaii’ and left Hawaii.
Xiao Bei felt like his acting talent was impressive. It was just a little too real. When he pretended to grumble softly to himself in his seat, a Chinese girl seated beside him also excitedly joined in on the complaining.
Wei Xiao Bei insisted that he wasn’t a veteran member of the ‘Appearance Club’, but the girl beside him was really not his type. More importantly, the girl was far too friendly and talkative. Xiao Bei could still hear the girl chattering by his ear even after he had shut up for a long time.
