Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Boarding the Ship
*
Dong Hongbo was cautious enough. He moved the supplies under the boat and had his own people carry them on board first. Then he divided the more than one hundred villagers into groups of ten and had them line up to board the boat one by one.
Most of the villagers had never been on a cruise ship. There was no convenient and fast boarding bridge, no safety measures, only the cruise ship's own narrow and extended gangway. Walking on it was like walking on a high-altitude glass plank road, so the speed was naturally slowed down.
It was not until the afternoon that Gu Mengran and the last group of villagers arrived. The people in front had just boarded the boat.
The last twenty or so people who came were also divided into two groups. Gu Mengran and Liang Zhao were the last group and boarded the boat with Fang Jie, Xiaodong and others.
The second time he boarded the Yongyue... The moment his feet stepped onto the gangway, Gu Mengran's hair stood up, his steps became inexplicably heavy, and every step was like he was rushing to the execution ground.
But this time, he was not alone. The warmth of another person's body in his palm was like a silent reminder to Liang Zhao: "Don't be afraid, I am here."
We were not tourists on vacation. After boarding the ship, there were no smiling waiters to greet us, and there was no process for us to choose our rooms. There was only a bossy younger brother who pointed at everyone and said, "You, go to the third floor, you two go to the fifth floor, you, go to the sixth floor..."
The younger brother pointed at them one by one and arranged them one by one. It was obvious that he was worried that they would make trouble, so he intentionally divided them into different floors.
There were also two people assigned to the same floor. Gu Mengran still had a glimmer of hope, but the next second, the cold-faced younger brother pointed at him first, then at Liang Zhao: "You, second floor, you go to the fourth floor."
Gu Mengran's lips trembled slightly, and before he could speak, Liang Zhao smiled and said to his younger brother: "Brother, can my brother and I go to the same floor? He is not in good health and needs someone--"
"Don't bargain with me! Just take whatever's yours, quick!"
The cold-faced younger brother ruthlessly interrupted him, and also shattered the others' fantasy of changing floors.
Liang Zhao wanted to fight for it again, but in the reception hall, his younger brothers, who had been waiting impatiently, rushed forward and pushed everyone towards the stairs.
As he walked up the stairs, Gu Mengran's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.
However, this feeling of uneasiness did not last long. When he reached the main landing of the stairs, someone gently pinched his right hand. Gu Mengran raised his head slightly. In full view of everyone, Liang Zhao mouthed to him, "Don't worry, wait for me."
They reached the second floor and their right hand was completely untied. Liang Zhao let go of his hand, gave him an unnoticeable look, and continued to walk upstairs with the main group.
The figure disappeared around the corner and the footsteps gradually faded away. Gu Mengran exhaled a breath of hot air, followed the two younger brothers who led the way and Xiaodong, turned into the safety passage, and came to the corridor on the second floor.
That’s right, Xiaodong was lucky enough to be assigned to the second floor.
The second floor is the basic floor. From the signboards on the wall, we can see that there is only a restaurant, a lounge area, and a front desk here, and the rest are guest room areas.
They came in through the security passage and the entrance was the guest room area.
Just like a hotel, the rooms on both sides of the central corridor have no windows. Once the door is closed, no one knows who lives inside, and the privacy is very good. The difference is that the smart door that can only be unlocked by swiping a card has an additional set of hinges and locks.
Gu Mengran suddenly understood why Dong Hongbo dared to bring all the villagers on board when the number of people was almost the same.
Ten people boarded the boat in groups and were assigned to different floors, which directly dispersed the villagers. Even if the people who boarded the boat later were assigned to the same floor as the people in front, they did not know which room their companions were in unless they knocked on the doors one by one.
Dong Hongbo certainly wouldn't give them a chance to knock on the door. There were dozens or even hundreds of rooms on each floor, so it was not just the villagers who lived there. The hinges and locks were already installed, so all he needed to do was add a lock, and the comfortable suite would instantly become a cage that only people could enter but not leave.
Why did they go to so much trouble to take the villagers away? The supplies were already in hand, wouldn't it be easier to just walk away and leave the villagers to fend for themselves? Gu Mengran still couldn't figure it out.
After twisting and turning in the maze-like corridor, the younger brother who was leading the way suddenly stopped. Gu Mengran failed to brake in time and almost hit the younger brother, so he received a threatening look.
The house number had been torn off, the room door was exactly the same as the surrounding ones, and there were no reference objects around. Gu Mengran didn't know where he was on the cruise ship.
"drop!"
The young man took out the room card and leaned it against the door, then he grasped the door handle and turned it, and the door opened.
Before Gu Mengran could see the layout of the room clearly, a strange groan floated out through the crack in the door.
Hmmmm and ahhh, you know what's going on inside without even looking.
But the guy who opened the door acted as if he didn't hear anything. He just grabbed the door handle and pushed it hard, opening the door wide.
The room is for six people, with bunk beds, and has a layout similar to that of a student dormitory.
The restricted scene suddenly came into view. On the lower bunk on the left side, closest to the door, two men were playing a small game as if no one was around, and from time to time they made some unbearable noises.
Why do you act as if no one is around?
Because in addition to the sudden visitor outside the door, there were two men in the room sitting on their beds, watching the performance with great interest, as if they were already used to it.
"Oh my god, you're in a good mood, having sex in broad daylight, right?"
"I'm working like a slave outside, and you're here to be my sweetheart!"
This kind of scene must have been seen often. The two younger brothers looked normal, just smiled and joked, standing at the door and watching with great interest.
One of them even walked to the bed, stretched out his hand in a nasty way and tried to touch it.
The busy man pulled the quilt over and slapped his hand away, "Go away, stop being a jerk here, go back and play by yourself."
"Tsk, brothers, don't be so stingy. Look at what this is." The wretched man turned around and pointed at Gu Mengran and Xiaodong, smiling meaningfully, "I'll send you two more."
"What are you standing there for? Come in!"
Another younger brother yelled, walked behind them and pushed the two men inside.
Xiaodong is a big guy and Gu Mengran is tall. The two of them refused to go in, and one or two people definitely couldn't push them in.
Two-on-two has a big chance of winning, but two-on-four, two-on-five...
Forget it, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Gu Mengran turned his head and exchanged a glance with Xiaodong, and they walked into the house at the same time.
“Bang!”
As soon as I entered the room, the door closed immediately and I could faintly hear the sound of it being locked.
Neither going forward nor retreating, there were two empty beds in the room, and two men were staring at him. The bed frame next to him began to shake again, and an indescribable smell filled the air. Gu Mengran's stomach was churning, and his hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists.
Voluntary or forced?
Gu Mengran suppressed his nausea and glanced to the side. Almost at the same time, the man below turned his head and revealed half of his face.
Just one glance and Gu Mengran was stunned as if struck by lightning.
He had seen this man before, yesterday——
"Zhou, Zhou Jing?"
The one who spoke was Xiaodong. He seemed to be extremely frightened. He stood there stiffly and numbly, staring at the man below with disbelief on his face.
Zhou Jing is Zhou Zhiqi's younger brother and Xiaodong's cousin.
It was ridiculous and funny that we met again after not seeing each other for a year and the scene was like this.
Zhou Jing said nothing and did not give any response.
Xiaodong, who was stunned, was obviously stimulated. As if he had gone crazy, he rushed forward in anger, grabbed the man's arm and pulled hard, "Let go of my brother! You beast, get down here!"
The hysterical roar echoed in the room. The other two men who were watching the show even found it funny and spared no effort to tease him: "Wow, you really know him? Look, he's calling me brother."
"Hahaha! Cousins? Two brothers coming together?"
Those who watched the fun were not afraid of trouble, but the person involved was ruined. He got off the bed angrily wrapped in a quilt and punched Xiaodong on the shoulder. "Are you looking for death? What's wrong with your brother? I did it to your brother!"
The man was very big and much taller than Xiaodong. He punched Xiaodong with all his strength, causing him to stagger backward. It was only thanks to Gu Mengran's timely support that he was able to stabilize his body.
Xiaodong didn't give up. His face turned red and he rushed forward with his fists raised.
The man was obviously a martial artist. When the fist came at him, he didn't dodge it but took it head-on. And he didn't return the punch. In the blink of an eye, Xiaodong was grabbed by the arm and fell to one knee.
"You beast! You bastard! You'll die a miserable death if you force my brother!"
Anger clouded his mind. Even though he was completely suppressed, Xiaodong was still struggling desperately, roaring and cursing.
"Forced?" The man let go of Xiaodong and couldn't help laughing as if he had heard a joke. "I like to play, but I always insist on mutual consent. Maybe you can ask your brother, did I force him?"
After saying that, the man considerately made way for Xiaodong to face Zhou Jing directly.
During the argument between the two, Zhou Jing put on his pants but was still shirtless.
It stands to reason that they are all men, and it is normal to be shirtless, but when the man moved aside, Zhou Jing immediately crossed his hands in front of his chest, like a virgin boy, blushing and pouting: "Oh, you are so annoying, bring the quilt to cover me."
Whether it is voluntary or forced, it seems that there is no need to say more.
Xiaodong was stunned, half-kneeling on the ground and even forgot to stand up.
The man was attracted by the coquettish voice and ignored Xiaodong. He sat back on the bed and spread the quilt to cover Zhou Jing. "Little slut, are you still shy? Come, brother will cover you."
Zhou Jing didn't get bored anymore. He curled up in the man's arms calmly, lowered his eyes to glance at Xiaodong, and asked casually: "Have all the villagers boarded the boat? Where's my mother?"
The nonchalant tone seemed to be asking what to eat tonight.
No one gave him an answer. Xiaodong hadn't recovered from the shock yet and was half-kneeling on the ground, motionless.
He didn't care, but he also cared a little. Zhou Jing, who didn't get an answer, slowly raised his eyes, then shifted his gaze to Gu Mengran and asked again: "Everyone in the village has come up, right? Is there anyone else down there?"
Gu Mengran shook his head, "No, they are all on board."
"good."
Zhou Jing's eyes lit up instantly, and a bright smile appeared on his lips.
Happy because his family was safe? It seemed normal, but looking at his gradually distorted face, Gu Mengran always felt that something was strange.
Before Gu Mengran could figure it out, Zhou Jing got out of the quilt, no longer shy. He moved behind the man little by little and massaged his shoulders attentively, "Thank you, brother. Our family can be reunited thanks to you."
"Don't say such empty words. If you want to thank me, then be practical. How about going to the deck tonight?"
"I'm so annoyed with you. It's still raining outside." Zhou Jing lightly punched the man on the shoulder, as if acting coquettishly.
The man's frustrated interest was rekindled, and he licked his lips with satisfaction, "Why don't we do it now, in front of your brother--"
The voice stopped abruptly, and Zhou Jing, who was massaging the man's shoulders, took out a rope from somewhere, quickly tied it around the man's neck, and pulled back with all his strength.
Being strangled without any defense, even a strong martial artist couldn't react. The man's face and neck turned red instantly, and his eyes rolled up uncontrollably, revealing a lot of white in his eyes.
But he was still a martial artist and could not kill with one blow. The strong desire to survive prompted the man to struggle violently.
He kicked and kicked wildly, and his ten fingers dug down from his throat, leaving several bloody marks on his neck. In an instant, the man's fingers successfully embedded between the rope and his neck, and he began to try to stand up and distance himself from the rope.
The space for movement was too small, so Zhou Jing held the rope tightly with both hands, kicked the man's back with both feet, and pulled backwards desperately with his own strength and body power.
One was moving forward and the other backward, trying to seize the opportunity, but due to the disparity in strength, Zhou Jing was at a disadvantage. Just as the man was about to pull Zhou Jing and the rope up from the bed, a foot suddenly stretched out from the front and kicked the man hard in the chest.
“——clang!”
The man's head hit the bed frame, obviously quite badly, and he staggered and fell back onto the bed.
The noise was so loud that the other two people in the room heard it and looked over at the same time.
I thought they were doing it again, but they really did. The two men exclaimed "Oh shit" and climbed up from the bed using their hands and feet, obviously to come and help.
We have to deal with one quickly! Taking the opportunity to catch up with his feet, Gu Mengran quickly stepped forward, and seeing that the man still had the strength to resist, he punched him in the face twice.
After being strangled by the neck, hit on the back of the head, and received two solid punches, the man was completely exhausted. However, Zhou Jing continued to tighten the rope in his hand with a firm gaze until the man's eyes rolled back and he completely lost his reaction.
