Chapter 571: The First Step in Action
Into the deep of the night, some people were sleeping due to exhaustion, while others remained on guard, staying vigilant around the surroundings. Gu Fan, Su Hui, Lin Xi, Du Jun, and the Captain started discussing their next move.
Jie had already sent up the drone to get an overview of the entire island, relaying back the view.
The island wasn’t too big, nor was it too small - large enough to hide an army. The island’s dense forest made it an ideal place to covertly stay hidden. Moreover, there was a mountain in the center of the island with a guard post on top, according to the images sent back by the drone.
Gu Fan thought if he were a pirate, he would also establish a guard post on the mountain. This would allow for a view of the island’s surroundings. If any unfamiliar ships approach, preparations to defend could be made in advance.
"Difficult!" Su Hui rubbed her chin, "If we don’t deal with the guard post, even if we stealthily steal the pirate’s ship, we’ll be discovered as soon as we set sail. When the pirates catch up with us, we couldn’t possibly fight them off."
Gu Fan nodded: "Indeed, this is a tricky problem."
The conversation between Gu Fan and Su Hui made everyone realize that escaping from here wasn’t a simple matter. It required meticulous planning, collective effort, and a bit of luck.
Lu Yi proposed a solution: "It’s simple, we take down the guards first, then steal the ship to escape."
Su Hui shook her head: "No way, if we run up the mountain to take out the guards and then run back to steal the ship, apart from the feasibility of this method, it would be a huge waste of time. There and back again would take up too much energy."
