Chapter 644 - 668: Without Clothes
Li Yifei spoke again, "Everyone get ready. I’ll let you know when to put in effort. Our direction should still be towards that island. For now, let’s conserve some energy."
At this time, everyone looked to Li Yifei as their leader and had no objections. Each person was saving the little strength they had left, hoping to swim to the island in one go.
As they saw the island getting closer, everyone’s breathing became more hurried. Li Yifei was constantly feeling for the direction of the ocean current. When the direction of the current changed, he immediately shouted and started swimming vigorously towards the island.
Sophia also followed him immediately. She had tied a rope around her waist as well. The two of them swam in front, left and right, like two strong horses pulling a cart, while Su Mengxin, Xu Shanshan, and Michelle also swam with all their might. Their own strength might not be enough to contend with the current, but putting in a bit more effort could save Li Yifei some energy.
The ocean current met another current here, and that caused its force to diminish considerably. Otherwise, given their current state of exhaustion, it would have been virtually impossible for Li Yifei to lead everyone out of the current.
They were lucky to have found the island and encounter a slowing current. After Li Yifei had almost depleted all his energy, they finally made it onto the island, which had a sandy beach. Once on the beach, they had no strength left at all, and they lay on the sand panting heavily.
By now, the sun had completely set, and darkness enveloped everything around them. On this unfamiliar island, Li Yifei didn’t dare to be careless. No sharks had been encountered in the sea, but it was uncertain whether they might meet any fierce animals on the island.
Li Yifei, the first to recover a bit of energy, said to everyone, "Don’t go anywhere. I’ll go get some branches to start a fire."
Xu Shanshan and the others wanted to accompany Li Yifei, but they didn’t even have the strength to sit up, so they could only agree.
Li Yifei didn’t walk too far into the island, collected some dry branches, and returned quickly because going further into the dense forest wasn’t a wise choice at the moment, and he also didn’t want to leave Xu Shanshan and the others alone for too long.
