Peter Brown looked at these people with impatience. If he were alone, he could escape, but escaping alone was not an option.
"We can’t outrun them. They’re too aggressive, and they have speedboats to chase us," Oliver Bridge shook his head.
"Indeed, we can only wait for reinforcements under this circumstance. If we don’t get help, we’ll end up facing certain death," James Rain looked at the sea with a solemn expression.
"Captain, can we wait for reinforcements to arrive?"
Seeing Tara Morgan’s inquiring gaze, Jason Weir said: "Since we don’t know the enemy’s situation, it’s unlikely that helicopters will come. Even if they do, it would be difficult for them to save us. The best our superiors hope for is to send warships here. However, it would take at least a day for the nearest warships to arrive, and even then..."
Having said this, Jason Weir observed the enemy’s assault boats on the sea.
Seeing his gaze, everyone knew that the situation was truly dangerous.
At this time, Peter continued to observe the enemies on the island reef and listened to the discussions. He said, "Escaping is impossible. There are cultivators among the enemy’s ranks, including several who are at the Qi Refining Second Layer. Even if we try to escape, we won’t get far. I suspect they might even have a nuclear submarine."
Jason Weir nodded slightly: "That’s right. Operating on such a large scale, it’s impossible for them not to have strong offensive capabilities. Moreover, this is within our country’s territory, so the possibility of having a submarine cannot be ruled out. If they do, we wouldn’t be able to escape even if we hijacked a speedboat."
"Are we just waiting to die then?" Albert Davis asked in a low voice.
"Peter Brown, you tell us - what should we do to have a chance at survival?" Priest Wilson looked at Peter.
"We need to enter that big island!" Peter revealed his plan.
"Enter that big island!" Everyone stared at Peter in astonishment.
"Are you sure, Peter? That island is clearly where the enemy is heavily concentrated. If we enter, wouldn’t it be like walking into a trap?" Austin Campbell looked at Peter, puzzled.
Everyone had the same thought, believing it to be a suicide mission.
Peter said, "As the captain said, this is our country’s territory. No matter how rampant the enemy is, they can’t stay here for long, right?"
Jason Weir nodded slightly: "Indeed, that’s the situation. Once our superiors are informed of the situation here, they will surely send an army. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they can’t win!"
Peter nodded: "That’s why they’re still here. There must be inside information, and they must not have cracked the formation yet. They want to plunder what’s inside the formation."
James Rain nodded: "That’s correct. That must be the case; otherwise, what are they staying here for?"
"Peter, do you think they have not broken the formation, or something like that? Even if that’s the case, isn’t entering the same as walking into a deathtrap?"
Peter pointed to their current location and said, "Even if we don’t enter, we’re still on a path to certain death!"
Oliver Bridge looked at Peter, "I assume you have a way to ensure our survival, Peter?"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly looked at Peter.
"I can’t guarantee it, but if we can enter the island reef, I can modify the formation and create a space for us. As long as we’re in that space, we’ll be temporarily safe," Peter said.
Jason Weir was overjoyed: "Can you really do it?"
Peter nodded slightly: "I have some knowledge of formations. It’s an Illusion Formation. I just need to modify it at a specific location, and we’ll have an independent formation space. No matter how strong the enemy is, we can use the Illusion Formation to hide. However, I’m worried that the formation they set up, if it is their formation, we can’t guarantee we won’t be attacked."
Jason Weir looked at everyone and said, "Now you all know the situation - escape is impossible, and entering with Peter’s plan doesn’t guarantee everyone’s safety. Both paths are risky, so choose for yourselves."
Priest Wilson grinned bitterly: "Our ammunition is running low, and continuing to fight means a doomed outcome. I agree to take a risk."
Albert Davis frowned: "Can we make it to the island reef?"
Everyone looked at the enemy’s attack situation and smiled bitterly.
Priest Wilson looked at Peter with a smile: "Since Peter has proposed such a plan, I believe you must have a solution, right?"
Peter said, "I do have protective talismans. As long as the talismans are activated, the enemy’s bullets and rockets should not be able to penetrate for a short time. I checked, it would take 5 minutes to get to the island reef by speedboat from here. I’ll secretly hijack a speedboat and come back here. You guys will then activate the talismans and rush to the sea at top speed to reach my speedboat."
Upon hearing Peter’s claim of having a talisman capable of blocking bullets, the group looked at him in shock. However, everyone knew this was not the time to ask questions.
Jason Weir nodded forcefully: "There’s no other choice, but not everyone can walk on water, right?"
It was not easy to walk on water. Everyone would have to throw something to step on and then step across.
Peter glanced at a few people and said, "Albert Davis will take care of the pilot, Oliver Bridge will take care of Camilla Collins, James Rain, you and Priest Wilson help Captain Weir, and the others will act as bodyguards. With a concerted effort, I believe there won’t be any major issues."
After Peter arranged everyone’s roles, Oliver Bridge and Albert Davis both looked at Peter in surprise. They now knew that Peter had a clear understanding of their cultivation levels and felt a greater sense of awe towards him.
As everyone prepared, Peter took out several Water Talismans from his bag and handed them to the group. He then looked at Jason Weir and said, "You guys get ready. Once I’ve hijacked the speedboat, I’ll come back here. Everyone should then charge towards me as fast as possible."
"We’re counting on you, Peter!"
Everyone took the Water Talismans and looked at them with curiosity, asking how to use them. Peter taught them the usage.
"I’m off!" As Peter disappeared in the blink of an eye, everyone felt a flash before their eyes, and then he was gone.
