Super Invincible Battleship-Chapter 282 - 159 Regretting Too Late

Chapter 282: Chapter 159 Regretting Too Late

Yan Fei was not aware that the mysterious phenomenon during the drone data refresh had robbed two American scientists of their most precious freedom, for he was sound asleep. By the time he awoke again, it was already past five in the afternoon, local time.

After several hours of rest, Yan Fei felt rejuvenated and realized that his wounds had healed significantly. Apart from a lingering sensation of his spiritual soul tearing, he was nearly fully recovered. He packed up his tent, ate some food prepared in the Universal Space, and started to stroll around the uninhabited island.

The island was not large, covering only about 0.5 square kilometers, but it was lush with trees and teeming with birds, exuding a vibrant atmosphere. Moreover, the island was bordered by a vast stretch of beach, backed by a long line of coconut palms. The sand on the beach was fine and looked exceptionally beautiful.

Barefoot, Yan Fei walked along the beach, looking at the island’s beauty and feeling a surge of peace and joy in his heart. He had been fighting non-stop for a while, facing several life-and-death challenges. The intensity had left him mentally and physically drained. Now that he could relax, he suddenly felt that a simple life might not be so bad. Standing in the seawater, he was surrounded by colorful tropical fish that had never seen humans before. They were not afraid and swam curiously around his feet.

While playing with the tropical fish and relishing the rare relaxation, a thought suddenly sprouted in Yan Fei’s mind. He was already very wealthy, to the point where he could never spend all his money in a lifetime. Since he had no particular hobbies, why not buy an island and turn it into his private domain? On that island, he would be the lord, doing whatever he pleased, beyond anyone’s control. Yan Fei had many secrets and was always thinking about how to keep them hidden from discovery. Owning an island would provide the perfect hideaway for his secrets.

However, Yan Fei was just musing—it was a difficult task in practice. Although there were many islands around the world, most of them already had owners. Even the small island he was on, devoid of any signs of human activity and lacking freshwater resources, likely belonged to someone else. Finding an island that met his requirements and then persuading its owner to sell it to him would be as hard as reaching the heavens. Nevertheless, if Yan Fei were intent on it and willing to spend the money, he could probably find a suitable island. But this project would have to wait until after he had dealt with his current situation.

...

Yan Fei spent the entire afternoon on the not-so-large island, and he even went diving. It was the most leisurely afternoon he had had since acquiring his Drone Avatar. There was no fighting, no strife, and none of the problems and nuisances that came with Drone Upgrades. This relaxing afternoon gave Yan Fei the chance to contemplate his future path, what kind of life he wanted, and the purpose of his existence in the world…

As the evening fell, Yan Fei slept on the island once more, and finally, the clock struck midnight, local time. The Drone Body vibrated, and all its data were refreshed. Energy Points, Weapon, and Airplane Body all returned to full capacity, and the drone regained its long-range capabilities.

Yan Fei boarded the drone, which slowly ascended, then set a course at full speed towards the US West Coast. The distance from here to the US West Coast was only 500 kilometers. With the drone’s maximum speed, he could reach his destination in just 9 minutes. However, since this was the US West Coast, the Americans heavily monitored the airspace with surveillance radar. The drone had to avoid these radars and the patrolling vessels on the sea surface, so its actual flight speed would be much slower. Nonetheless, it took only thirty minutes to arrive offshore of San Francisco.

By then, the drone had already submerged beneath the sea surface and was cautiously navigating along the ocean floor. San Francisco is one of the most important economic and Research Centers in The United States of America. To protect their core industrial hub, US Forces had laid various sonar systems for anti-submarine purposes below the sea surface. Although the drone emitted very little noise while sailing, it could still easily be detected by towed sonar arrays. However, in the depths of the night and with the drone’s cautious approach, it managed to infiltrate undetected.

The drone continued to move stealthily beneath the sea surface, passing under the Golden Gate Bridge, moving past the Abandoned Prison known as Demon Island and then entering San Francisco Bay. It proceeded southwest and soon arrived in Oakland City’s coastal territorial waters. The drone kept heading south for over twenty kilometers and reached the power center of Green Spruce Capital—Bina Manor Estate.

Bina Manor Estate was situated in the midst of a large farm with a sprawling complex of buildings. Located on a cliff by the sea, it was only a hundred meters from the coast. Almost everywhere in the estate offered views of the distant sea and the City area of San Francisco on the opposite side – genuine sea view rooms.
