Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Action
*
The noisy room returned to silence, and the relatively tidy house became a mess.
A strong smell of blood filled the air. The fruit man was lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, his face black and blue, and he was already dead. There were two other people lying in a pool of blood on the ground. One had lost consciousness due to heavy bleeding from his lower abdomen, and the other had been hit hard on the forehead with a blunt object and was either dead or disabled.
It was like a dream. After squatting on the ground for ten minutes, Gu Mengran still couldn't recover. There was still a red afterimage flashing in front of his eyes. He lowered his eyes and looked at his hands stained with sticky blood, his fingertips trembling slightly.
I have lived for two lifetimes and have encountered disputes before, but this is the first time I have stabbed someone with a knife.
Gu Mengran was not the only one who was shocked. Xiaodong, who was too frightened, leaned against the bed frame and curled up on the ground with a look of horror. He was still there, but his soul had long since drifted away. He stared at the ground with a dull look on his face, and the words "Who am I? Where am I?" were written on his face...
They were all young men in their teens and twenties, and just ordinary people who behaved well. Compared with the frightened Gu Mengran and Xiaodong, Zhou Jing, who looked a year or two younger than them, was surprisingly calm.
He strangled the big guy with a rope himself, and hit the other guy with a hammer himself, as if he had slaughtered a chicken or a fish. He looked calm, without any panic. After the three men lost the ability to resist, he immediately put on his clothes and began to search the room skillfully.
The room was not big, with only two wardrobes besides the bed. While Gu Mengran and Xiaodong were in a trance, Zhou Jing took out a roll of hemp rope from the wardrobe, knelt on one knee beside the bed, and took out a steel pipe and two folding knives from under the bottom of the lower bunk.
Gu Mengran gradually came back to his senses, watching him busy himself, then watched him sit back on the bed, pick up the bulky clothes and rummage through them, and finally take out a room card and a key from his trouser pocket.
The preparations seemed to be complete. Zhou Jing met Gu Mengran's inquiring gaze and nodded slightly. Then he quickly walked to Xiaodong's side and stretched out his hand to his distraught cousin. "Don't just stand there. Get up and leave."
Xiao Dong seemed to wake up from his sleep, his body trembled violently, and then he raised his stiff neck and looked at Zhou Jing in confusion, "Where are you going?"
The hand hanging in the air was ignored. Zhou Jing retracted his hand and shrugged helplessly, "Let's meet up with my brother and the others to complete our plan."
"What's the plan?"
"We fight—"
"What plan requires you to sleep with someone? Does Zhou Zhiqi know about it? Did that bastard force you to do it?" Xiaodong's voice suddenly rose and his eyes turned red instantly. He frowned and looked at Zhou Jing, his eyes full of despair and heartache.
"You, you are still so young, how could they do this to you? What on earth does Zhou Zhiqi do for a living? Not only does he insist on taking you away, but he can't even protect you! If I had known, I would never have let him take you away..."
In an instant, Xiaodong collapsed, holding his head with both hands, tears falling down. His hoarse roar turned into helpless sobs, and then he punched the floor heavily.
"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal." Zhou Jing squatted beside Xiaodong and patted him on the back. "Don't blame my brother. We have no human rights after getting on this pirate ship. They treat us like animals. They scold us if they want, beat us if they want, and..."
"Brother, do you know? At that time, there were more than 80 of us on the boat, but now there are less than 20 left. If you don't obey, you will die. Of course, if you obey, you will die too. You will be beaten to death or even played with."
It sounds easy to say, but only the people involved know what a desperate experience it is.
Xiaodong clenched his fists, stared at the big guy on the bed, and cursed with gnashing teeth: "Beast! Bastard! Worse than pigs and dogs, he is in front of so many people... I must kill him."
As he said this, he stood up and rushed forward angrily.
Zhou Jing grabbed him and said, "It's already cold, dead. Don't worry, brother, I've figured it out a long time ago. It's nothing, just treat it as a dog bite. Besides, it's not a loss today. I got the benefits and got the job done. Didn't I send you here?"
"W-What do you mean? Did you have someone arrange for us to come here?"
"That's about right. The people who boarded today will most likely be arranged to live with the old residents, which will make it easier to control them. But there are many rooms on the ship, and there are usually no more than four people in a room. Logically, no one will come to our room, but I can't beat the three of them alone, so I can only find help."
Zhou Jing pointed at the big guy and continued, "He has some influence on the ship. I made a deal with him and asked him to arrange for a few villagers to come to our room. I thought it would be uncles and aunts, but it turned out to be you guys. You are a big help."
One against three is no match, Zhou Jing needs help, no matter who it is. Even if there have been unpleasantness before, they are from the same village after all, and they will definitely side with their own people at the critical moment.
The plan seemed to be well thought out, but it actually had a lot of risks. What if the person who came was an old man who was weak and powerless? What if there was only one person? Zhou Jing said it easily, but he was actually risking his life.
Gu Mengran looked at this boy who was a little younger than himself, feeling uncomfortable. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "So you agreed to do it today? What is your detailed plan?"
"I'll explain later. Now let's go."
Zhou Jing slung a roll of rope across his shoulder and tucked a steel pipe under his armpit. He handed two clean folding knives to Gu Mengran and Xiaodong, then bent down to pick up the bloody folding knife on the ground and held it tightly in his hand.
Gu Mengran's guess was correct, the door was indeed locked from the outside, and Zhou Jing seemed to have expected it. He led them straight into the bathroom without even turning a corner.
There was a door and three walls, and the bathroom also had no windows. Gu Mengran looked around, wondering which way to go out. Zhou Jing closed the toilet lid, stepped on it, and reached out to fiddle with the exhaust fan on the ceiling.
It took him less than five minutes to dismantle the exhaust fan with his bare hands, and a neat square black hole appeared on the ceiling. Then he reached into the hole and fumbled around, as if he turned a switch. With a "clang" sound, a huge ceiling panel loosened and was easily taken down by him.
The ceiling plate fell into Zhou Jing's hands, and the book-sized black hole on the ceiling instantly expanded several times, turning into a round black hole the size of a toilet with bumpy edges.
The structure of a cruise ship is different from that of an ordinary house. The ceiling panels used in the bathroom are not movable panels that are spliced together piece by piece, but are fixed and complete.
After Zhou Jing stood on the toilet, Gu Mengran and Xiaodong focused their attention on the ceiling, and they couldn't see any trace at all.
The steel gusset plate is extremely thick. How did this person make such a big hole and hide the traces perfectly?
Gu Mengran felt like he was being scratched by a cat, but it was inappropriate to ask these questions now. He and Xiaodong silently took the buckle plate from Zhou Jing and placed it carefully on the ground.
The escape route has been built, but the road is not easy to walk on.
Zhou Jing, who was the first to go up, had it relatively easy because there were people helping him from below. Gu Mengran took it upon himself to act as a human support, and picked him up directly by standing on the toilet, making sure that his head and shoulders were in the hole. Then he climbed up by holding on to the gusset plate.
Gu Mengran was tall enough, and after some effort, he successfully climbed up. But before they could catch their breath, the two people crawling on the ceiling looked down and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Xiaodong is like a stone pillar...how can he get up?
After many attempts ended in failure, the hemp rope came in handy. A double waist knot was tied to secure Xiaodong. One person pulled him from above while the other held him from below and pushed him up. Finally, they managed to get Xiaodong to the ceiling.
The three of them were exhausted. They lay on the gusset board and rested for two minutes. Before they could even catch their breath, Zhou Jing immediately turned over and started moving. "Come on, follow me. You can go slowly, but be gentle."
"Okay." Gu Mengran and Xiaodong also started moving.
It's said to be walking, but in fact it's crawling forward.
They were now in the ceiling mezzanine on the second floor, which was less than one meter high. All kinds of pipes and wires were crisscrossed, and the light was very dim, just like a maze.
They couldn't even tell the directions inside. If Zhou Jing hadn't led the way, Gu Mengran and Xiaodong would definitely have been trapped to death.
The environment was depressing and dim, and apart from the subtle sound of clothes rubbing against the gussets, the only sound around was the increasingly rapid breathing.
I don’t know how long I climbed, but just when Gu Mengran vaguely felt a little breathless, a ray of light appeared in the thick darkness.
There was another cave entrance. Gu Mengran followed Zhou Jing and moved closer inch by inch. Just as they got closer and hadn't seen the scene below clearly, the sound of two people talking came from the cave entrance:
"How many people are there?"
"Twelve, and five more came to help."
"Why is it so late? Are you still waiting?" asked the female voice.
"The last five minutes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jing knocked on the door, and the two people in the bathroom raised their heads at the same time.
One was an unfamiliar girl, and the other was Zhou Jing’s brother, Zhou Zhiqi.
There were two people helping below, and the process of going down was very smooth.
However, this meeting was very unpleasant. Xiaodong stepped on the toilet to the ground, and without even having time to untie the ropes on his body, he punched Zhou Zhiqi hard in the face.
Zhou Zhiqi didn't dodge and took the punch head-on, with Xiaodong hitting his face crooked.
"This punch is for Zhou Jing, this punch is for the villagers!"
Without giving others a chance to stop him, Xiaodong raised his fist again to attack. But this time, Zhou Zhiqi didn't let him succeed. Instead, he grabbed Xiaodong's wrist and pushed him away. "That's enough. Can't you use your strength to deal with outsiders? Do you have to bully others in your own backyard?"
"You're a bully in your own village? Who's in the same group with you?" Xiao Dong panted, his eyes filled with hatred. "You took the lead in leaving the village, led the bad guys back to the village, and brainwashed the villagers. You're a traitor!"
Zhou Zhiqi rolled his eyes at him in annoyance, "I had no choice but to bring them back to the village. Secondly, I have already explained in the village that I am not taking them away, I am taking them to find help and a safer place!"
"Fuck you! What kind of rescue would require taking away so many people and so much supplies? I don't believe a word of it."
"Believe it or not, I'm too lazy to tell you." Zhou Zhiqi turned around and left.

"That's enough!" the girl standing nearby shouted, "Why are you still arguing at this hour? Every minute of delay will increase the danger. Hurry up and act! We must take down this cruise ship before we set off!"
