Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Plan
*
In fact, when Gu Mengran saw Zhou Jing holding steel pipes, folding knives and other offensive weapons, he realized that there would be a fierce battle today. However, he did not expect that the high-risk plan at the beginning was quite meticulous, but it turned out to be so simple and crude later.
After all, there were only a dozen or twenty people, and there was no chance of winning in a head-on fight, so they decided to defeat them one by one.
How to defeat them one by one? After going out, sneak back to the guest room area, open the doors one by one, cooperate with the villagers inside, subdue the crew, release your own people, thereby weakening the enemy's combat effectiveness and increasing your own combat effectiveness.
The twenty of them are just a trigger. Whether they can finally seize control of the cruise ship from Dong Hongbo depends mainly on whether the villagers can unite.
There was no chance to communicate with the villagers on shore. Most of the villagers knew nothing about it and were even immersed in the joy of "moving". In this situation, living together with the crew, their current situation is quite dangerous.
Thinking of this, Xiao Dong became furious and glared at Zhou Zhiqi angrily, "You have a pretty good plan. If you don't have enough manpower, you can brainwash the villagers and trick them onto the boat, so that they can help you after the job is done, right?"
"You've figured it out, Xiaodong." Zhou Zhiqi rubbed his brow helplessly, "We have to get on the boat today, whether we want to or not. They have plenty of ways and means, I just chose a gentler way."
Xiao Dong sneered, "Gentle? But what about their safety? The beasts on your boat are ruthless. Do you have a clear conscience to let the villagers stay with them without any defense?"
"Without destruction, there is no construction." Zhou Zhiqi looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and a silent sigh escaped from his lips, "This is a cruel world, the strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive."
Xiaodong: "What nonsense? Give me——"
"Okay, Brother Xiaodong, let's stop wasting time and go." Zhou Jing interrupted their argument, walked to the window first, bent over and went out.
Gu Mengran quickly followed, and Xiaodong had no choice but to give up and follow the two of them. But after a few steps, he turned back and looked at Zhou Zhiqi, "You're not going? You're just going to stay here?"
"There are still people who haven't arrived yet, waiting for support. You go first and be careful." Zhou Zhiqi said slowly.
Xiaodong: "Where are the others? Didn't you just say there were more than ten?"
"Out, the action has already begun."
Xiaodong turned around and left, without noticing Zhou Zhiqi's complicated look at all.
Unlike Zhou Jing's room, this suite has a story. It has windows and a balcony. Over the left railing of the balcony is the second-floor open-air deck, which is also the exit of the cage.
The drizzle continued to fall. The three of them braved the rain and risked falling into the water. They carefully climbed over the guardrail and walked along the outer open deck.
It seemed like he had been here countless times before. Zhou Jing was very familiar with this area. After walking forward about thirty or forty meters, he stopped in front of a white cabin door that was almost integrated with the hull. He took out the key from his pocket and opened the cabin door skillfully.
Pushing open the door, they saw a small utility room. It was obvious that someone had been here before them, as the footprints on the floor had not yet dried. There was another door opposite the door, which was obviously the door leading to the cabin.
After entering the room and closing the door, Zhou Jing quickly walked to a shelf, rummaged through a pile of messy cleaning supplies, and took out a huge pair of pliers.
Zhou Jing handed the pliers to Xiaodong, and led the two to another door. He turned around and said, "Going out from here is the restaurant. We are responsible for the right half. There may be people patrolling outside. If you encounter them, just take action. Anyway, you have to accept it--"
Zhou Jing paused halfway through his speech, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Mengran, "You go to the back and act according to the situation. Our people are also inside, don't hurt our own people by mistake."
"Okay." Gu Mengran nodded obediently.
He had been prepared and had waited for this day for a long time, but when he reached out and grabbed the door handle, Zhou Jing still panicked for a moment.
Success or failure depends on this one move. If they fail to seize the cruise ship, they will all die here today.
I can die if I want to, but the villagers...
“There is no way out.”
Someone patted Zhou Jing's shoulder gently. He turned around and saw Gu Mengran with an unusually determined look.
There is no way back. If you have grievances, you must take revenge. If you have vengeances, you must take revenge!
With a "click", the hatch opened.
As expected, the utility room was not locked, and the three people who had just crawled out of the guest room area walked back openly.
There was no one, no sound, a thick layer of dust on the exquisite dining table, and a dead silence. Gu Mengran and Zhou Jing opened their folding knives at the same time, while Xiaodong raised the pliers to his chest and looked around vigilantly.
The restaurant was not far from the guest room area. It took only three minutes for the three of them to reach the corridor and stop in front of a locked door.
Without rushing to unlock the door, Zhou Jing stretched his neck and moved closer, his eyes fixed on the offset print left after the house number was torn off, as if he was carefully confirming something.
In less than thirty seconds, Zhou Jing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled confidently, turned his head and stretched out his hand to Xiaodong, "Here, give me the pliers--"
"careful!"
The locked door opened without any warning, and before Zhou Jing could even see who was inside, a sharp serrated sickle was instantly placed on his neck.
The cold blade pressed against his throat, and Zhou Jing's throat moved unconsciously. He couldn't even see who was holding the hand from behind him, and he held his breath and dared not move.
The sudden change frightened Gu Mengran and Xiaodong. They raised their weapons and were about to fight back, but the next moment, a man holding a sickle slowly poked his head out from behind Zhou Jing. In the dim light, a familiar face came into view.
"Uncle Liu?"
Xiaodong exclaimed, and the pliers suddenly stopped in mid-air. The man whose name was called was stunned at first, and his eyes glanced back and forth, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, "Xiaodong, Xiaogu?"
The two people in front are our own people, so who is the one in this hand?
Uncle Liu woke up as if from a dream, quickly drew back the sickle, and walked around to the front of Zhou Jing to take a look.
The moment he saw Zhou Jing, Uncle Liu's face darkened and he almost put his sickle back on. However, he didn't give him the chance. Confused Xiaodong came to his senses and pointed at the completely detached hinge on the door and asked, "What's going on, Uncle Liu? Isn't this door locked? How could you be so strong? You pulled the hinge off with one tug?"
"Oh, this one." Uncle Liu turned around and demonstrated it to him. He reached out and brought the door over to leave it ajar, then stuffed the screws on the hinge back into the screw holes on the door panel to pretend that it was not open.
"We unscrewed the screws beforehand and just put them back in. If you don't pay attention, you won't see them."
Hinges are a bit similar to anti-theft chains. Although the door can be locked from the outside by hanging a padlock, there is always a small gap in the middle, so it is not a problem to put a hand out.
Xiaodong obviously hadn't thought of this yet. Just as he was about to ask, Gu Mengran glanced at the sickle in Uncle Liu's hand and spoke before him: "Uncle Liu, what's going on? Why did you suddenly open the lock and hold the sickle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two doors opened next to him. The ladies who had been arguing with Xiaodong and wanted to leave the village earlier came out of the room trembling, holding kitchen knives and machetes in their hands...
A group of people looked at each other, their eyes wide open, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.
It was not time for casual chatting yet, but the two sides met and stood in the corridor for a brief exchange. Gu Mengran was able to understand the current situation.
It turned out that Xiaodong was not just saying it casually, Sister Fang was seriously planning to lead the villagers to fight them.
Probably guessing that she had to board the ship and that the trip would be dangerous, Sister Fang consulted with the villagers at night and boarded the ship in a way that would cause an internal conflict, thus letting the other party relax their vigilance.
They succeeded, and countless supplies were delivered to the ship. The other side accepted their surrender, and the crew chose to turn a blind eye to the personal belongings carried by some villagers.
Because of this, the tools, utensils and farm implements hidden in the clothing packages were successfully brought on board and became their weapons of resistance.
Uncle Liu sighed, "Xiaofang said that group of people would never treat us well, and they might lock us up after we get on the boat. I thought they would lock us up together, and then we could just take out knives and fight them! Who knew they would lock us up separately?"
"That's right." Miss Wu took over the conversation: "Everyone who went the same way has separated. Fortunately, Sister Wang and I are in the same room, otherwise I really can't handle two people by myself."
Miss Wang smiled and said, "We have to thank Lao Liu a lot. If he hadn't heard the noise and came to help us unlock the door, we would probably still be locked in there."
The lady spoke so calmly that Xiaodong was terrified and couldn't help asking, "The people in the room...did you fight with them?"
"Of course I did. Xiaofang said that being kind to the enemy is being kind to yourself...what was that? Oh, never mind. They are not good people anyway. They deserve it!" Miss Wu said angrily.
The uncle and aunt looked normal, and there was no blood on the "weapons" in their hands. Xiaodong felt relieved but not completely reassured. He pushed open the door of Uncle Liu's room and saw a man tied up and curled up on the ground with a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth. He looked like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
The situation in the two rooms next door was almost the same. The attack took place but no one was fatal.
It's hard to describe the feeling. At this time, you shouldn't be soft-hearted. You should kill the person directly to prevent future troubles. But Xiaodong can't even kill himself, so how can he ask others to do so?
Most people were still in the room, not daring to waste too much time. After learning about Zhou Jing and their plan, several uncles and aunts joined in without hesitation and officially started the rescue plan.
However, although the plan seems simple, it is quite complicated to implement.
Looking at the crowded rooms in front of her, Miss Wu's heart dropped back into her stomach and she sighed helplessly, "I don't know where the others are. I have to look for them one by one."
After saying this, Zhou Jing, who had been trying to keep his presence as low as possible, smiled confidently and said with a bit of pride: "Don't worry, we have marked the doors of places where there are less than four people and where villagers may be accommodated. Pay attention to the location with offset printing. The small triangle symbol is the room we are looking for."
"Awesome, he actually has this trick up his sleeve!" Gu Mengran gave a thumbs up.
The uncles and aunts didn't say anything, but their expressions were visibly relaxed.
Everything was ready except for the east wind. Zhou Jing walked past the crowd to the front and waved his hand, "Move!"
On that rainy afternoon, the cruise ship anchored at the entrance of the village was in complete chaos.
Guest rooms were opened one by one, and more and more villagers gathered together, officially sounding the clarion call for counterattack.
There are ways to deal with compromise and violence, and Dong Hongbo has more than one method. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant and underestimated the unity of Shijin Village. He wanted to take over the village at one stroke, but he would always pay a heavier price for it.
