Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Xia Yan looked toward Su Chen with some disbelief.

Just now, he didn't let Melissa help Xiao Yifei, she could understand that.

After all, he wasn't familiar with Xiao Yifei.

But Lin Xi was different.

Lin Xi was the president of his company.

Shouldn't he lend her a hand no matter what?

"Don't go. Take care of yourself!" Su Chen turned his head and glanced at Lin Xi who was struggling to swim, and said coldly.

Although Lin Xi had fallen far behind, she still heard Su Chen's words.

"I can..." A hint of stubbornness flashed in Lin Xi's eyes. She uttered three words, then continued swimming forward.

Feeling aggrieved?

Of course, she felt aggrieved.

If she was truly just a leader to Su Chen, she would have no complaints if he treated her this way.

But she was not just Su Chen's leader, she was also Su Chen's wife.

That Su Chen treated her just like he treated any other woman, Lin Xi naturally felt very wronged in her heart.

But this feeling of being wronged only lasted for a very short moment before she recovered.

A married couple is like birds in the same forest, who fly separately when disaster strikes.

Besides, she and Su Chen were hardly a real married couple.

Miss Lin was very strong and also very stubborn.

Even though her arms were almost numb, she continued to paddle forward.

And she never complained of being tired.

"Maybe you should stop and rest for a while?" After swimming nearly five kilometers in one go, even Melissa felt somewhat exhausted.

Not to mention the other women.

"We can't stop." Su Chen just responded indifferently.

The sea was relatively calm now, but if they didn't seize the opportunity to swim forward, once the waves started, they might be swallowed by a single wave.

Even if people wouldn't die because they had life jackets on.

But the waves had no direction.

What if they were swept back? Would that not mean all their efforts were in vain?

Melissa looked back at the group and sighed deeply.

Almost everyone was close to their body's limit.

Many people had originally followed them; now, probably less than thirty remained.

The farthest ones had fallen behind by a kilometer.

They would probably give up soon.

But Tie Niu and his group still followed.

They were used to fighting and had good physical fitness.

Melissa had taken off her life jacket.

For her, a life jacket wasn't needed for buoyancy.

Wearing a life jacket would, in fact, waste her strength.

The team continued to advance.

Lin Xi had fallen behind by more than fifty meters.

This distance was still increasing.

But the man in front who was like a leader didn't even bother to look back.

Perhaps, even if she was swept away by the waves, he wouldn't know.

Lin Xi felt somewhat desolate in her heart, but she didn't blame Su Chen.

Under these circumstances, Su Chen helping her might mean both of them end up dying.

It's better to have one survive.

Su Chen didn't owe her anything.

During this time, Xia Yan couldn't help trying to assist Lin Xi several times, but Su Chen stopped her each time.

Actually, Xia Yan herself was also feeling exhausted.

Though she had practiced Taekwondo and achieved a black belt, that was before she started working.

After starting work, she really hadn't practiced much.

But seeing her leader, no, even if Lin Xi wasn't her leader, seeing a compatriot about to fall behind, she felt extremely anxious.

It's really incredible how much potential a person has.

Clearly, Lin Xi was already extremely tired, but she still managed to swim more than two kilometers.

But those two kilometers finally drained all her strength.

Her hands could no longer be lifted.

Lin Xi felt a strong wave of dizziness wash over her.

She had overexerted too much energy.

Previously, it was sheer willpower that had been sustaining her.

Once she completely gave up, the overwhelming fatigue finally began to invade.

Her body slowly sank down.

Lin Xi was a very smart woman; she knew her physical strength was lacking, so after swimming a kilometer with a life jacket on, she took it off.

If she had kept the life jacket on, she wouldn't have been able to swim that far.

Miss Lin was really stubborn.

She would rather sink into the sea on her own than ask that man for help.

Seeing Lin Xi sinking into the water,

Xia Yan had been paying attention to Lin Xi all along.

Even though Su Chen forbade her from helping Lin Xi,

if Lin Xi truly couldn't swim anymore, she would definitely stop listening to Su Chen.

Clearly, this was the moment when Lin Xi truly couldn't swim any longer.

However, just as Xia Yan was preparing to help Lin Xi, a figure swiftly swept past her.

In just a few seconds, it had swum up to Lin Xi and lifted her body out of the water.

It was Su Chen.

Only then did Xia Yan understand.

It turned out Su Chen hadn't planned to give up on Lin Xi after all.

"Cough cough!" When Lin Xi's head surfaced, she immediately started coughing violently.

She had just swallowed a few mouthfuls of sea water.

The sea water was fishy and salty, making it very unpleasant to drink.

"I'll swim with you for a bit; you rest for a while," said Su Chen, his voice no longer cold, even sounding a bit gentle.

Lin Xi being able to swim that far had in fact exceeded his expectations.

At this point, Lin Xi no longer had the strength to speak; her eyes carried a hint of gratitude as she let Su Chen drag her body forward.

He hadn't given up on herself...

Although Miss Lin was very stubborn.

But who would want to be abandoned by others?

Su Chen swam with Lin Xi for three kilometers.

"I can do it now..." Lin Xi felt her strength had recovered considerably and told Su Chen.

"Good." Su Chen didn't make a scene, releasing Lin Xi and allowing her to swim forward on her own.

Flight attendant Xiao Yifei felt her consciousness blur, feeling that she was about to give in.

But she did not dare to stop.

Because she could tell that the relationship between Su Chen, Lin Xi, and Xia Yan was not ordinary.

Su Chen would help Lin Xi, but might not help her.

If she truly stopped, she feared that she would indeed be abandoned.

So she kept telling herself, don't stop, don't stop, keep going.

However, her physical strength too was finally completely depleted.

Her hands felt like they were bound by massive stones and could not be lifted at all.

Forget it.

Give up.

She had only swum ten kilometers.

Only half of the journey was completed.

She couldn't possibly last until the end.

At that moment, even the pilot Melissa felt her arms go numb.

Forget about helping Xiao Yifei, she herself was almost out of strength.

Just as Xiao Yifei was immersed in utter despair.

A hand supported her abdomen and kept her body from sinking into the sea.

"You take a rest first," Su Chen said to Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei looked at Su Chen with grateful eyes.

She hadn't expected that Su Chen would actually come to help her.

In fact, Su Chen had never intended to abandon anyone.

If possible, he hoped to keep everyone alive.

After Xiao Yifei had regained some strength, the young woman finally ran out of energy as well.
