"Let's just forget about it. In this kind of weather, neither of their two ships can make it, and sending out a third ship won't help either."

The captain made a quick decision: he could accept my money to do favors for Liu Lao Er, but that didn't mean he could use it to murder for money.

However, other villagers who were on good terms with Liu Lao Er spoke up, since Liu Lao Er had gone to great lengths to curry favor with these officials in order to secure the boat.

“Captain, we originally planned for three groups. It doesn’t seem right to not let the third group try.”

We've already told everyone what we needed to say.

Liu Lao Er hurriedly jumped out.

"Yeah, Captain, what if the third group works? I think the waves are much smaller now than before."

“Yes, Captain, so many people in the village are waiting. How can we survive if we don’t receive relief water and vegetables?”

"No vegetables are no big deal, missing a meal won't hurt. But without water, we'll die of thirst."

“But sending them, young and old, in this kind of weather is just sending them to their deaths. I’m the captain, but I can’t harm people.”

The production team leader was a bit blunt. These people had gone to great lengths for Liu Lao Er, and no one knew what Liu Lao Er had promised them.

"Captain, this is the only hope we have. Everyone knows that no household has water right now, and our family doesn't even have a drop of water."

Are you suggesting we drink seawater?

If someone quits, as long as it's not about risking their life themselves but about making someone else risk their life, of course they'll give it a try.

"Just bear with it, this typhoon has been blowing for a month, what if it stops in the next couple of days?"

It will eventually stop.

The production team leader wasn't completely devoid of conscience.

"The captain can't even last a day without water, let alone two. What if it doesn't stop for the next two days? What will everyone do then?"

The production team leader also fell silent. No one could guarantee that the typhoon would stop in a couple of days.

Even God didn't consult him.

Moreover, there are hundreds of people in the village, not just his own family. He sympathized with the people on the boat, but others would make things difficult for him, the production team leader.

"Then I also need to think about what use the old and young people on this ship would be if they went out. If this ship sinks, can you all live with yourselves?"

The production team leader wanted to make one last attempt, but the others disagreed.

"Captain, it's everyone's fate if the ship sinks. It was made clear when we drew lots at the beginning that no one in the suicide squad should complain about their bad luck."

This is God's will that makes you go.

If you feel sorry for them right now, then you should feel sorry for everyone.

This involves several hundred people.

Liu Lao Er also jumped out in a hurry.

"Captain, yes, we all knew when they drew lots. If they encounter anything outside, that's their fate."

If that brat weren't there, things would be much easier to handle, regardless of whether the brat is gone or not.

Whether this incident terrified her sister-in-law or not, in short, this matter was entirely beneficial to her.

"Anyway, I can't make that decision. If you want them to go, then you can notify them yourselves. Don't do it in my name. I don't agree."

The production team leader sighed. He knew the other party was going to their deaths, yet he still sent them; that wasn't his style.

The others immediately understood that the production team leader's statement was actually a concession.

Liu Lao Er volunteered and ran to the communication device in the room.

The ship's intercom received intermittent sounds.

"You must set off now. You must set off now."

When the third group heard this, many of them felt a jolt of fear.

If they are allowed to set off, it proves that both the first and second groups have had accidents, and people from both groups have been in trouble. Going out would be completely pointless.

But everyone knows.

Now that we've captured them today, their lives aren't just theirs, but the lives of the entire village.

The leader, Uncle Wu, sighed and stood up.

"Alright, everyone, get to your positions."

As you all heard, we're setting off. There's a strong wind and heavy rain outside; this is our fate, and no one should complain about it.

Fishermen would certainly be in danger in this situation.

Whenever they encounter this kind of weather, they know that they are truly entrusting their lives to God.

Seven immediately asked.

"Uncle, what about me?"

Uncle Wu glanced at Qi Zai and sighed.

"You should stay in the cabin and behave yourself. It's not your turn here. What can you do? You're not even as tall as a stool."

Everyone had taken their places and started heading to their positions.

The fifth brother ran straight to the captain's cabin. Their ship was different from the previous two; it was a small boat.

The boat was small, so it took five strong men—six of them—to barely control it.

However, being small, the boat had no power to resist such stormy weather in the middle of the sea.

Everyone knew in their hearts that with their own strength, the ship might not end well. They could only hope that it wouldn't capsize, which would be considered good luck.

A group of people started to set sail, and as soon as they set sail, the talisman that Seven had put up immediately disappeared.

On the one hand, the talisman had enough time, and on the other hand, the interaction between the ship and the talisman was canceled out after the ship started moving.

The moment the talisman disappeared, the ship was immediately confronted with raging waves amidst the wind and rain.

The ship, which had been moving steadily just moments before, immediately began to sway wildly.

Everyone on the ship was thrown out of control; some crashed into the cabin walls, others into the deck railings.

Luckily, he was tied with a rope, otherwise he would have been sent flying.

The fifth brother tried his best to control the rudder, but it was obvious that the wind and waves made it extremely difficult for him to steer.

They haven't even driven five miles yet.

Moreover, the area near the pier is all shallow water, and it is easy to run aground in such wind and waves.

Their pier is situated in a sheltered harbor between two reefs.

The waves were already this high inside the dock, let alone outside.

Swaying and rocking under everyone's watchful eyes, the small boat was tossed about by the waves like a leaf, and eventually disappeared from everyone's sight.

A smug smile crept across Liu Lao Er's lips. This time, that brat probably won't be coming back.

The others were also furious; they were all experienced fishermen and knew what to do in this kind of weather.

The chances of survival are extremely slim.

Although everyone felt a pang of sadness, no one blamed anyone else.

Everyone knows that there's nothing that can be done about this kind of weather and this kind of thing.

The production team leader flicked his hand.

"Alright, everyone go home. One person stays here to keep watch, the rest of you go back."

Everyone knew the odds were against them, and staying here was a waste of time. Everyone thought the same as the production team leader, so they all left.
