It’s all bad news for now.
As for the good news... Li Younan could only comfort himself that at least, for now, the quality of the seawater looks good, very transparent.
This made him decide that after swimming over, at least in the waters near the island he can see the sea floor, which lessens the pressure in his mind.
If he remembers correctly, in such environments, there are often sea snakes.
People who are often bitten by sea snakes know that sea snakes are highly venomous.
And Li Younan currently has no means of defense whatsoever, if he’s bitten by one of those things, there would be no room for struggle.
If the seawater is clean, at least if he really encounters such a terrifying creature as a sea snake, he might see it from afar.
Li Younan has very little room for consideration, the so-called island he is on is actually just a piece of wasteland on the sea surface, no more than a few hundred square meters, without any supplies. Once he drags it out, lacking physical strength, under such intense sunlight, his body functions would be exhausted, and he wouldn’t have the means to swim over.
Therefore, Li Younan didn’t hesitate much, stripped off his only shirt and pants, and tied the two pieces of clothing and shoes to himself with shoelaces, ensuring they wouldn’t be a burden while swimming, but also wouldn’t be discarded... after all, this was his last bit of property.
Then he resolutely jumped into the seawater, starting to swim towards it.
With the advantage of top-level swimming skills, swimming several kilometers in seawater wasn’t a difficult task for Li Younan, at least for the moment his physical condition was still relatively decent.
Thinking of this, Li Younan couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.
Recalling the situation at the time...
Things started from Singapore.
After two months of sailing since departing from the street with Huang Xiaoyang, they arrived at the Singapore Strait of Malacca.
The original plan was to resupply in Singapore, restock some supplies, and then take a few days to relax, but a small accident happened.
While moving supplies, Lu Zhiqing, the ship’s doctor and chef, accidentally fell and hurt his leg, thus experiencing the hardship of a healer unable to heal himself.
Fortunately, Singapore had good medical conditions, so they decided to seek medical treatment on the spot.
Lu Zhiqing delayed the journey of all the crew members and was naturally filled with guilt, but being hospitalized was unavoidable.
On the contrary, Li Younan encouraged everyone to relax; after all, the global journey was meant for enjoyment, so staying in Singapore a few extra days wasn’t an issue.
Arranging the itinerary for others, everyone was prepared to stay in Singapore for about a week or two, yet they unexpectedly ran into a familiar face — Winslow.
Because Winslow had Li Younan’s contact information, he had asked Li Younan about his whereabouts before, and Li Younan did not hide it.
Therefore, it was hard to say whether Winslow came over specifically knowing Li Younan’s schedule or if, as he claimed, it was a coincidence.
As a loyal fan of Li Younan, he warmly entertained Li Younan and his crew in Singapore, and later invited Li Younan to his private island.
Of course, the invitation wasn’t just about having Li Younan over for fun; there were requests from Li Younan.
Considering they were already going to spend some time in Singapore, Li Younan decided to take two or three days to visit Winslow’s private island.
It was an island in the Pacific Ocean; to be precise, that area was dense with private islands, having a complete support system.
Li Younan crafted a beautiful knife for Winslow there, and the next day, Winslow sent his private plane to send Li Younan back to Singapore.
And the accident happened on this journey.
Of course, the specific situation was more complex; it wasn’t a simple natural disaster.
Most likely, he was just an unlucky guy.
If he could make it back alive this time, Winslow would owe him a huge favor.
But at this moment, Li Younan didn’t want to recall the scenes on the plane.
Even Li Younan found the memory extremely bad, the biggest loss of control since he gained the system... control over the initiative of life.
In summary, even with the top-notch aircraft maintenance and piloting skills, under such conditions, it was impossible to save the plane... besides, under those circumstances, the captain wouldn’t have handed over piloting rights to him.
Therefore, Li Younan’s greatest effort was merely ensuring that when the plane was confirmed to make an emergency landing, his own survival possibility in the passenger cabin.
Fortunately, the captain’s emergency landing efforts were not in vain; at least the plane didn’t disintegrate the moment it touched the water.
By instinct, Li Younan crawled out of the shattered aircraft hull and was swept a long distance by the sea currents before reaching the small island he was on.
It was already late at night, and Li Younan, exhausted beyond measure, slept on the island.
When he woke up, it was just now.
At this moment, Li Younan was still swimming, recalling this experience, his mindset had drastically changed.
It’s impossible for anyone to go through such an experience without any inner turmoil.
Before this, his greatest pleasure was to see this wonderful world, to witness various sceneries, but at this moment, he had only one thought, so real... and that is how good it feels to be alive, how wonderful life is.
With such thoughts, he lightly paddled through the water.
