Wen Xiuying stared blankly at the crossbow in Old Lady Zhu's hand, gritted her teeth, and took it.
After seeing Wen Xiuying take the weapon, Old Lady Zhu said earnestly, "Yanyan is your daughter, you can't bear to see her turn into a monster, can you? If you encounter her, I hope you can persuade her."
When Zhu Yanyan's matter was mentioned, Wen Xiuying was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and lowered her head to nod silently.
She naturally understood what Old Lady Zhu meant. With this crying, Yan Yan relentlessly pursued everyone, reaching a point of madness.
Now that we're getting closer to the border, if she remains so stubborn, then I'll have no choice but to personally kill everyone to give them an explanation.
Just after everyone had taken their weapons, Zhu Chenfeng and Zhu Haotian arrived with the rest of the group.
Upon seeing the mountain of weapons, everyone excitedly stepped forward to select some.
Only Anqing stood there, puzzled and stunned, the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Zhu Wen grabbed a broadsword and a crossbow, then casually tossed an axe to An Qing. Noticing An Qing's pale face, he chuckled and teased him.
"What? Still holding onto this issue?"
"Don't you find these weapons strange? This cargo ship is in a state of disrepair. Even if it had weapons, they should be old and worn out. But these weapons are clearly new."
Anqing simply did not believe that these weapons that appeared out of nowhere could be from the cargo ship. Even if they were, why didn't Wang Haocheng take them out beforehand?
Why was it that after Old Lady Zhu discovered it, Zhu Dabao and Su reported it to Zhu Chenfeng?
All of this is too strange; it's not something a normal person could understand.
Zhu Wen felt helpless about An Qing's stubbornness and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother, why do you keep dwelling on things you can't understand? Now we should just follow the Zhu family and stop overthinking."
"The most important thing now is that we can only survive if we follow the Zhu family."
"But……"
"Oh no, the sharks have surrounded the cargo ship and seem very agitated."
Before Anqing could finish speaking, he saw a crew member run over, pointing anxiously at the deck.
Upon hearing this, everyone grabbed their weapons and ran toward the deck.
By this time, the deck had already been taken over by sharks with human upper bodies and fish tails.
Their faces were ferocious, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and their red eyes peered out from Sichuan.
"Manager Wang, what should we do?"
Chen Xiang had never seen such a monster with a human body and a fish tail before. He gripped his large sword and looked anxiously at Wang Haocheng.
This was the first time Wang Haocheng had encountered such a situation. He frowned, pondered for a moment, and then decisively spoke.
"There's no way out now, so we have to drive the sharks off the cargo ship and get out of here as quickly as possible."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiang felt that the only option left was to take a gamble and try his luck. He turned around and shouted to the people behind him.
"Brothers, drive all the sharks off the deck! Charge!"
Upon hearing this, everyone roared and charged toward the shark without hesitation.
Old Mrs. Zhu and her female relatives hid in the cabin, silently observing the situation on the deck.
"Mother, should we go over and help?"
Liu tied Xixi to her chest and anxiously watched the situation on the deck, noticing that more and more sharks were jumping onto the deck.
Many people were injured while fighting the sharks, and as the number of injured people increased, she began to worry that the sharks would eventually take over the ship.
Grandma Zhu frowned as she observed the situation on the deck. After a moment of contemplation, she spoke decisively and turned to look at everyone.
"Third brother's wife and Da Bao, go and bring the injured team members back."
"Eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, Xiuya, let's fire crossbow bolts at the sharks so that everyone has a chance to fight back."
Everyone listened attentively to Grandma Zhu's instructions, and under her guidance, they all got to work.
Old Mrs. Zhu first hid in the cabin with her daughter-in-law, aimed at the sharks on the deck, and then shouted loudly.
"Release the arrows."
At the command, everyone desperately tried to launch the shark.
Faced with the sudden attack of the sharp arrow, the shark could only retreat step by step, daring not to continue its attack.
After the sharks stopped attacking, Sun and Zhu quickly rushed forward and dragged the fallen team members back to the cabin.
Xi Xi looked anxiously at the chaotic scene before her, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Although sharks are inherently ferocious, they will not attack fishermen without provocation.
They only used songs to lure them into the reefs, trapping the ships and preventing them from leaving.
They reappeared and boarded the ship to attack.
But our cargo ships haven't even entered the sharks' territory yet.
Why would they be so crazy as to board the ship and attack us?
Thinking of this, Xixi suddenly remembered that Zhu Yanyan had mentioned before that she planned to use the sound waves of the bucket thunder to lure and catch small sharks.
Has she already caught the baby shark?
However, why did these adult sharks attack our cargo ship instead of Zhu Yanyan?
Xixi thought about it more and more and felt that this matter was not simple. She craned her neck and looked around.
Sure enough, Zhu Yanyan's boat was moored in the sea not far away, and in the fishing net in the ship's warehouse was a small shark less than a meter long.
The little shark was cowering fearfully inside the fishing net, its whole body trembling.
Beside her was a black box that could emit similar sound waves.
Besides, Zhu Yanyan and Granny Wang were standing in front of the little shark, their faces showing smug expressions.
"Grandma Wang, sharks have a very keen sense of smell. They will definitely find them by following Zhu Xixi's scent."
Zhu Yanyan glared at the little shark a few times, then crossed her arms triumphantly and turned to look at the sea ahead.
Wang Po's daughter-in-law was very satisfied with Zhu Yanyan's actions and smiled, giving her a thumbs up.
"My Yan Yan is really something. Her method of using someone else to do the dirty work is brilliant. The Zhu family is doomed now!"
Zhu Yanyan pursed her lips and smiled secretly, remembering that she still needed Wang Pozi's help with something important.
She smiled and hugged Granny Wang's arm, saying in a coquettish tone.
"Grandma Wang, are you very good at making poisons?"
Upon hearing this, Granny Wang immediately became wary and asked in return with a half-smile.
"You have a new idea again?"
"Yes, I heard that there are many pearls in the merfolk's nest. I thought that if there were a poison that could control the merfolk, then I could make them take out the pearls."
Zhu Yanyan naturally wouldn't reveal the disaster that followed. In order to establish her own empire after the apocalypse, she had to obtain the luminous pearl from the mermaid and exchange it for money.
Now that the Zhu family has been eliminated, she can focus on developing her money-making plan.
After learning of Zhu Yanyan's purpose, Granny Wang remained silent for a while before smiling and speaking.
"I can perform the ritual you're describing, but those afflicted by the Gu will only obey the one who cast the Gu. So, I'll have to do it myself!"
Zhu Yanyan thought that the two of them had been through a lot together, and that Granny Wang completely trusted her.
Wang Pozi would comply with whatever she asked for, but unexpectedly, Wang Pozi was still wary of her.
Thinking of this, she smiled slightly, released her grip on Granny Wang's hand, and nodded reluctantly.
“That works too. We’re all in the same boat, so your granddaughter will naturally trust you.”
