Chapter 283: Arrival

In the evening, Chen Mo led Cheng Haiyao and Kaiselin, while Li Jie led one hundred fifty veterans, and they all boarded at Han Bin's pier.

In the cabin, Han Bin shuffled over to Chen Mo and whispered, "Ah Mo, you're putting on such a big show—what exactly are you going to do?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "Your guess?"

"A kid? Still guessing?" Han Bin gave Chen Mo a cold look, "It doesn't matter if you don't say, I'll just go with you, right?"

"You want to come along?" Chen Mo said in surprise, "Are you abandoning your own business?"

"Damn, four ships are heading out—can't I stay behind? The business on the territory is all arranged, so you don't have to worry about me."

Chen Mo thought for a moment; with Han Bin aboard, the crew on these ships would be more obedient, so it's fine to have him along.

"Since you want to come, then come. But after we reach the destination, you'd better not run around on the ship; if danger arises, I might not be able to look after you."

Han Bin shrugged, "Come on, you're taking your girlfriend, what danger could there be? If there is, just take care of your own girlfriend; I'm not just blowing smoke as Bin Ni Hu."

Since Han Bin said that, Chen Mo didn't press the issue; if a fight breaks out, Han Bin will hide on his own.

Soon, everything was ready, and the four ships set off.

As the leader, Chen Mo stayed in the cabin with Han Bin and a few others, while the veterans were packed into the lower cargo hold.

Before leaving the Gangdao water police patrol zone, they could only surface for a breath here and there in batches; the rest of the time they had to stay hidden in the cabin.

About an hour after departure, Han Bin grabbed the intercom, "Ahead is the core control zone of the Gangdao water police. Everyone, hide in the cargo hold, don't move, prepare for a full‑speed sprint."

After giving the order, Han Bin explained to Chen Mo, "It's late at night, the water police patrol boats are few, but they have radar."

"Normally, we could disguise as fishing boats and slip by."

"But tonight, with so many people on board and weapons, we have to force our way in."

"Their patrol boats are much faster than ours; if luck's bad, they could catch us."

Fortunately, their luck held; after sprinting at full speed for over half an hour, they only then saw faint lights behind them.

Coincidentally, by then they had already left the water police's control zone.

Han Bin himself relaxed a bit.

"Alright, the rest of the voyage should be smooth; let your men get some fresh air as well."

"No wonder, Brother Bin, this time we really needed you!" Chen Mo complimented in kind.

Han Bin's ship had been heavily modified by him, its horsepower larger than that of a typical smuggler vessel.

Moreover, with no cargo today—only people—the load was light, so its normal speed could reach thirty‑five km per hour, and at full sprint the limit approached fifty km per hour.

At this speed, barring mishaps, they could arrive at the destination early the day after tomorrow.

The deserted island where Madam M is located isn't marked on any map, but that doesn't mean Chen Mo can't find it.

The world maps of the 1980s didn't have it; how could the 21st‑century maps still lack it!

Chen Mo, after all, is a system‑user.

Buying a new world map from the system isn't expensive; compare it and you'll know which island it is.

After more than thirty hours, the four ships arrived smoothly at an island.

The ship docked, they went ashore, and Chen Mo felt his whole body relax.

It was also his first time on a ship for such a long duration.

"Ah Mo, what are you doing on this island? It's just a deserted island, not even a single silhouette."

Han Bin thought they'd reached the destination, looking at the barren island with puzzlement.

"We're not there yet; the actual destination is two hundred kilometers beyond this island. Let everyone rest a day before we set off again; that's fine."

This island isn't the one where Madam M is; it's the nearest island to her.

This island lies about two hundred kilometers from Madam M's island.

Everyone had been on the ship for over thirty hours, each utterly exhausted and with virtually no combat ability.

Sending them straight into battle now would be a death sentence.

At the very least, they should get a day's rest.

There'll be no patrols out here at sea, so the veterans don't need to hide in the cargo hold; the remaining two hundred kilometers won't affect their condition much.

The sun set and rose again; a day passed.

Chen Mo pointed to a spot on the map and said, "Brother Bin, tell your crew we're heading to this location."

Han Bin stared at the spot Chen Mo indicated, puzzled, "Damn! There's nothing here—what are we going there for? Fishing?"

"Who said there's nothing there? There's an island; hurry up, the departure time is just right now."

"I have no idea what nonsense you're up to! Seriously!"

Han Bin, though a bit annoyed, noted the map location, turned around, and ordered the crew to go.

Chen Mo also began directing Li Jie to gather his men and prepare to board.

After a day, their condition had largely recovered, ready for combat at any moment.

They had long known they'd face mercenaries, and now each of them was rubbing their fists, ready to make a big move.

Each of the one hundred fifty veterans carried an AK, a pistol, a hundred rounds of ammunition, and two grenades.

The rocket launchers were also distributed.

As for the two sniper rifles, they were both in Chen Mo's hands.

There's no choice; good snipers are talent and rarely retire.

The men under Chen Mo could use sniper rifles, but their skill was average; they might not even be effective on land, let alone at sea.

So Chen Mo kept both sniper rifles by his side for his own use.

The vessels set sail again, heading east, maintaining a speed of thirty‑five km per hour.

After more than five hours, they were less than twenty kilometers from Madam M's base.

Through the telescope, a faint outline of the island could already be seen.

Han Bin set down the telescope in his hand and looked at Chen Mo in amazement: "Damn, there really is an island here? How come no one discovered it before?"

Chen Mo smiled at Han Bin and said, "Is it possible that everyone who discovered this island ended up dead?"

"Uh......" Han Bin was stunned.

Chen Mo ignored Han Bin and said to Li Jie beside him, "A Jie, tell the brothers to be careful; we're about to go ashore."

After speaking, he hoisted two sniper rifles, walked out of the cabin, climbed onto the deck, and set up the rifles.

They could see the island, and naturally the people on the island could see them.

Perhaps the islanders have already prepared to cut them down in the sea.

The fact that this island has remained unknown is not simply because no one has ever come.
