Chapter 64 Chapter 64 (Update) The world on the sea is about to...
Chang Ruijia had left a deep impression on everyone in the market before. Now, seeing her approaching the crowd with a kitchen knife and an arrow, no one needed to say anything and they hurriedly made way for her without any explanation.
"What's going on? You're here too?" Lu Baian hadn't expected that Chang Ruijia would be drawn to this sudden trouble. He looked at the people she threatened with some confusion, "They are..."
Chang Ruijia accepted the threat and it was inconvenient for her to explain anything. After watching Shi Fang and Yu Jianyi take the two people they brought out, she spoke in Lu Baian's confused eyes.
"I was here a while ago, but I didn't bother you because you were so excited." Chang Ruijia smiled and pointed at the two people she had acquired earlier. "As for these two people, I don't know their origins. But when the people inside were complaining, they really did a lot of fanning the flames among the crowd."
Fanning the flames? Zhang Rui couldn't forget the annoying noise from the previous fight. He looked at the two people who were pointed out with a malicious look. This was really malicious.
"Let's examine it," Chang Ruijia said, her tone filled with anticipation amidst the inquiring gazes of several people. "Maybe we'll find something surprising."
"We need to investigate thoroughly," Lu Baian thought, thinking he had a rough idea of what Chang Ruijia meant. He glanced at Yu Jianyi standing beside him, "I think we shouldn't wait until later. Let's get started now to save time."
"Okay!" Yu Jianyi nodded excitedly and jumped off the floating object with a plop.
Although Yu Jianyi had been hiding in the market in the early stages and did not go out to devour and upgrade like others, there is a saying that sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. While constantly thinking about items to protect his own safety, he also came up with many effective and lethal items. His devouring efficiency was much higher than that of others, and he even reached four times the area earlier than Zhang Rui.
If he wanted to use his own methods to make the two people reveal their purpose, it would of course be better to face the two suspects in person.
Seeing Yu Jianyi jump into the sea first, Shifang jumped in without any hesitation. The two of them each took a floating object and the division of labor was clear so as not to waste time.
How ruthless could the people who came to this sea be? In peacetime, they were all good young men, but most of them were forced into this sea with no way out.
Now, hearing what Lu Baian and Yu Jianyi said, he didn't know how many scenes of torture came to his mind. If they had not yet reached the level of being able to break free from the floating objects, they would have jumped into the sea and escaped long ago.
However, even so, seeing Shifang and Yu Jianyi approaching, their mental defenses began to collapse as they got closer, and they tried to force their way out by approaching the crowd.
It was a pity that Shi Fang dared to jump directly into the water, which showed that they still had a certain tacit understanding. The moment the two jumped in, Chang Ruijia and Zhang Rui beside them each picked up a long-range threat weapon, pointing it directly at their vital parts, making them dare not make any big moves.
What should I do? What should I do?!
He was not a mentally strong person to begin with, and now those two people were under threat in public. Even without Yu Jianyi and Shi Fang coming to his house, he was already trembling with fear just from his imagination.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Finally, someone couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure anymore, and he couldn't help but break down when Shifang's hand just touched his floating object.
Stone Archway: ...
So is he going to go or not? How did it become like this before he even showed up? This person's mental state is not good.
"Shut up!" The two purchasing agents who had been watching their actions with full confidence did not expect that the person who was carefully selected to support them would speak so easily.
However, they cannot easily say such things. Once something happens, the threat to them will be unimaginable.
No matter what, they cannot reveal their origin and purpose!
"Don't believe them," Yu Jianyi climbed onto one of the men's floating objects, a smile on his seawater-soaked face. "Nothing could be more important than your own life, right? If you don't tell me, I don't know what will happen next."
As soon as Yu Jianyi opened his mouth, the man on the same floating object with him couldn't help but shudder. With this dignified look and this creepy smile, if it weren't broad daylight, one would really think a drowned person had come ashore.
Yu Jianyi had no idea of the man's horrified imagination, but that didn't stop him from continuing to persuade him. "Besides, do you think you can go back in the future? The choice between protecting someone who won't save you and joining a team that welcomes you shouldn't be that difficult, right?"
"I, I choose, I say everything!" Sometimes as long as one person opens his mouth, a series of people will let down their guard, and the people on the floating objects climbing up the stone archway couldn't help but speak.
Shi Fang didn't have Yu Jianyi's patience. When he heard the man say he wanted to confess everything, he sat down on the floating object and looked at him, "If you want to say it, then say it. No one in the market would take someone's life innocently."
"Traitor! Shut up!" Seeing that the man was actually about to speak, the two people in charge of purchasing suddenly became anxious. If they were to be the first to reveal their purpose, then the fate of the people responsible for the action would be unpredictable. "I, I can also say..."
"Shut up!" Shifang shot an arrow directly at the man's floating object, which pierced deeply in front of him. "I don't have that much patience. Do you understand the principle of first come, first served?"
"Yes, it was the people from the Kuanglang Gang who asked us to come!" Facing the threatening eyes of his companions, he closed his eyes and shouted directly at the man in the stone archway.
Crazy, crazy market?
Although he was mentally prepared that they might be sent by people from other gathering places to cause trouble, Lu Baian did not expect that a gang with a real name would actually appear on the sea.
What are they planning to do? Lu Baian and Chang Ruijia exchanged glances. Could it be that they really thought they could do whatever they wanted on the sea and wanted to organize some kind of gathering of martial arts heroes?
Maybe it’s because once you say the first sentence, it becomes much easier to say the next sentence.
Facing the curious eyes of the people around him, the man took two deep breaths and slowly told them all the information he knew.
"Ever since they learned that floating objects four times their area could break free, the Kuanglang Gang has been deploying personnel to investigate the situation on the sea. They'll directly dispatch personnel to devour small areas, and will cooperate with larger forces if they can, and fleece them if they can't."
"Originally, we were sent out according to this rule, but then someone sent back a message saying that a large black cloud was drifting in along the same route, and a massive storm was brewing at sea. Our original mission became to gather as much supplies as possible. If... if there's no way to exchange them, we'll just rob them."
The man's voice became softer and softer, and the last sentence, "If you can't exchange it, just rob it," could not be heard clearly if the stone archway was not close.
"Oh, you guys are feeling guilty too, aren't you?" Shi Fang sneered. "Even if we shouldn't all work together to face the impending natural disaster, we shouldn't just cut off their retreat like you did, right?"
"That's right! If you all change them, what will we use to face the storm?"
The onlookers were already holding their breath as they watched the people who came to cause trouble, and when they heard Shifang speak first, they couldn't help but speak.
"You can't exchange it yet, so you rob it? What's the difference between you and robbers?"
"That's right, it's unfortunate to have people like you on this sea! Ugh!"
Not to mention the two floating objects that Shifang and Yu Jianyi were standing on, the two people standing with the stall owner were almost drowned by the spit of the surrounding onlookers.
Even the boss who had sold them the item looked as if he wanted to snatch it back from them. Although he had no problem buying things from anyone, he had never thought of dealing with such a ruthless robber.
Haha, Lu Baian sneered in his heart. If you dare to do such a thing, don’t be afraid of the backlash in the future. After you safely get through this crisis, no one will be left unpunished.
The storm was about to come, and the black lines on the horizon changed from being vague at the beginning to hanging brightly on the edge of the sky. Lu Baian no longer had the energy to go and cause trouble for that group of people.
After explaining the details of what happened, and arranging the two unrepentant men to be guarded at the edge of the market, Lu Baian directly dispersed the angry crowd that had gathered around him.
The most important thing facing them now is the coming storm. Being able to keep these people under control and prevent them from continuing to plunder and collect supplies is the most they can do for other people on the sea.
However, although Lu Baian was busy dealing with unfinished matters with a stubborn face, he still took out his mobile phone and sent the news he got to a few people he knew, reminding them to be careful not to be tricked.
Troubles come and go quickly, and everything becomes the hidden firewood under the impending storm, just waiting for the right time to erupt again.
"Thank you very much this time." Lu Baian looked at the dispersing crowd, slowly rowed to Chang Ruijia's side, and said gratefully to her who played a key role in this matter.
"It's okay. It's what I should do." Things were almost over, and Chang Ruijia didn't mind saying a few nice words. "If someone really bought up most of the supplies, then I would have lost a good place to live."
Lu Baian nodded, but said nothing more.
He knew how abundant Chang Ruijia's material reserves were, especially since she hadn't appeared at the market in the past few days. He was afraid that with the materials she had exchanged before and the materials she showed up every day, she would have surpassed most of the reserves in the market long ago. Why would she worry about such a small matter of acquisition?
However, he also felt grateful for finding the key person this time. If Chang Ruijia had not found the two people directly, this matter would have been delayed for a long time.
On the sea on the eve of a storm, every minute and every second must be counted.
"Then you go ahead and get busy. There are still some things at the market that haven't been dealt with yet." Lu Baian said anxiously as he looked at the storm line that was beginning to approach.
This is the first time they have faced a natural disaster on the sea that is beyond human control since gathering at this market. If they want to survive safely, they still have a lot to do.
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." Chang Ruijia nodded. Looking at Lu Baian and Zhang Rui who had been busy these two days, she could understand how much they had paid for this storm.
However, just as Lu Baian was about to leave, Chang Ruijia suddenly coughed, looked at him and said, "If you need any indispensable supplies, you can come to me."
Facing Lu Baian's surprised look, Chang Ruijia shrugged her shoulders, turned around and left without saying anything else.
When she had enough energy and the market was facing a wave of backstabbing, she didn't mind taking out some of the extra things to better help the market overcome the difficulties.
"good!"
Chang Ruijia heard a response from behind her, but she didn't turn around to say anything. She just looked at the storm line in the distant sky and sighed.
"The storm is brewing, and who would have thought that the first to start it would be the companions who should be watching over and helping each other. Alas, the world on the sea is becoming more and more chaotic."
