Chapter 1243: Leaving the Island
Shi Lei was silent, he was stumped by the problem of this satellite.
Around this planet, there are more than 6,000 satellites in operation, and about half of them are still working, which is about one-thirtieth of what will be bought by the ferryman?
Regarding the fact that he can buy satellites, Shi Lei does not doubt it. After all, a large proportion of all satellites belong to individual companies.
According to recent data, more than 2,000 satellites have been launched at the national level in all countries around the world, and the remaining six to seventy percent are still working. This means that of the remaining more than 3,000 satellites still in operation, more than half of them still belong to various companies.
After all, there is a limit to the number of years that satellites can be used, and if the price is right, those companies may not be reluctant to sell their satellites, at least those satellites that will not work for too long, or simply no longer work, but simply continue to stay in orbit around the earth.
To put it bluntly, it's all about money.
It's just that what does the ferryman buy the satellite for?
Form a satellite network of your own to locate all the members of the Night Pupil and catch them all?
This seems a bit of nonsense.
Or, like in a shoddy fried rice American movie, you want to learn from the villain to purposefully control the satellite crash in order to deal a fatal blow to the earth?
It's a bit like the character of a ferryman, and his purpose is to cause world-class panic anyway, preferably to kill three-quarters of the world's population.
But first of all, the movie made a huge exaggeration, which increased the number of satellites around the earth tenfold. At the same time, the filmmakers did not think much about the loss caused by the friction with the air after the satellite crashed into the atmosphere.
In any case, counting on such a number of only a hundred satellites to threaten the governments of the planet is basically only for YY's sake.
Although the ferryman is perverted and a madman, he should not be so stupid as to really believe that the crash of a satellite can cause a world-class panic.
If he could control all the satellites orbiting the earth and make them strike at the same time, as in the movie, it is estimated that this is a greater threat to governments.
After all, these satellites are burdened with a very large amount of work, which is directly related to the national defense and security of many countries and other issues.
But a hundred, or a civilian or corporate satellite, doesn't seem to be enough?
Shi Lei couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time, he was about to ask Manda a few more words, but found that Manda, who was under his hand, had black blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, his head was crooked to the side, and he had been dead for a while.
Manda committed suicide.
She left a so-called clue that Shi Lei couldn't figure out, and committed suicide herself.
Manda knew that Shi Lei would never let her leave alive, or she revealed the ferryman's possible next move, even if Shi Lei let her go, the ferryman would also kill her, so she simply chose to commit suicide.
Cyanide in the teeth, this is probably a necessary drug for anyone who engages in a dangerous occupation and prepares himself for a dead end without being tortured and tortured.
Of course, Shi Lei already knew that Manda had this kind of thing in his mouth, but he didn't plan to stop Manda, Manda could tell him these things and then die, which was already a well-deserved death.
Although there is still no clue about the satellite incident, at least, Shi Lei knows that the person who is really responsible for monitoring Xu Zhida is not the ferryman himself, but Manda.
This means that both Shi Lei and the Pupil of Night have overestimated the ferryman's energy, and he is not as magical as they imagined.
This can also be seen from the actual funds in the hands of the ferryman. is less than 20 billion US dollars, which is about one-seventh or eighth of the amount of funds in Shi Lei's information compiled by the four consortia.
Moreover, Shi Lei also knew the ferryman's way of laundering money, which is probably also a loophole that the pupil of the night has not self-examined, and it is time to make up for it.
In general, there is still enough information from Manda, and Shi Lei also believes in Xu Zhida even more, it seems that Xu Zhida has really woken up.
He pushed open the window, looked outside, and after confirming that there was no one, Shi Lei jumped out lightly.
Then, he put on his mask and continued to walk towards the sea as Dickens.
There were still a few guards on the way, but they didn't pay much attention to Shi Lei, who looked like Dickens, just like during the day.
Shi Lei was able to easily return to the cave.
The two divers were very excited to see Shi Lei returning, which meant that they could already leave the island.
Although it has always been safe here, if Shi Lei makes any moves on the island, it will be difficult to say, and they will be implicated if they are not even.
Being able to leave this island is certainly the best choice.
Shi Lei returned Dickens's clothes and wig to him, and told him that Xu Zhida had been persuaded by himself and was actively mobilizing ships to prepare to leave the island.
"Dickens, though you don't have long to live now, I think it would be a consolation if you had the opportunity to go home and see your children again. Xu Zhida promised you the money, should give it to you, and I promised to help you take care of your wife and children, and I will do it. Now, you go to the dock, and Xu Zhida will take you away. After finding Xu Zhida, you ask him to call me, this is the number of my phone......" Shi Lei handed Dickens a note that he had prepared a long time ago.
Dickens was so excited that he trembled and said, "Mr. Shi, won't you come with us?"
Shi Lei shook his head and said, "In order to avoid possible trouble, it's better for me not to go with you, after all, those guards are not really Xu Zhida's people, they serve those two consortiums." As for me, I can go as I want, and I think it might be safer for me, and for you as well. ”
Dickens did not dare to say more, he got dressed, put on his wig, and hurried out of the cave.
Shi Lei looked at the two divers and said, "We won't be in any danger for the time being, do you think we should leave now and wait until tomorrow when the ship comes back to pick us up at the place we designated before, or will we just stay in the cave and wait until dawn before leaving?"
The two divers looked at each other and said in unison, "Let's go now." ”
One diver added: "Walking underwater anyway, there is not much difference between day and night. It's always dangerous to stay on the island, so I think we'd better leave immediately. ”
Another diver also nodded, "We don't have to go back to where the boat put us in the water, let's go to the reef first, because of the tides at night, a small part of the reef will be above the water, and from what I know, we should be able to stay on the reef." Of course, we can't sleep, but even here, we can't sleep. ”
Shi Lei had nothing to object to, these two divers were obviously more experienced than him in this area.
After Xu Zhida called, and Shi Lei confirmed with him that they had set sail and were ready to leave, Shi Lei threw away the satellite phone and went into the sea with two divers.
In the dark night, with the help of thrusters, Shi Lei and two divers arrived at their destination after more than an hour.
Sure enough, the reef at night was exposed to the surface of the water for half a meter.
