Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Confess what is about to happen...
"Brother Lu? Why are you here too?"
After spending the entire afternoon in the tent, Shifang felt dizzy even though he had some interest in machinery.
It was finally dark and he was ready to stretch and rest.
On the sea, light sources at night are rare. Even if you are in a hurry, you won't use them to install an engine propeller.
Unexpectedly, before I even left the tent, I heard a familiar voice.
But for some reason, the moment Lu Baian looked at him, he suddenly had a feeling that he was going to be unlucky.
This is inexplicable.
"Ah, nothing. I happened to pass by and saw Chang Ruijia sitting outside, so I came over to check on her." Seeing that Chang Ruijia didn't care, Lu Baian tentatively built a floating bridge and walked outside her tent.
"Is Xiaoshi done? I heard he came this morning. Is it really that complicated? Why did it take so long to finish?"
"Let me tell you..." Shifang was about to introduce the propeller that he had assembled in the afternoon with excitement, but his eyes immediately turned away and he hesitated before speaking again.
"I'm telling you...it's definitely not possible. After all, it's Sister Chang's stuff. How about you two chat about it? I'm going to go back and rest first."
Remembering what Zhang Rui had whispered in his ear before, Shi Fang understood what was going on and quickly turned off his own big light bulb.
The two of them just stood beside the tent, watching Shifang. It seemed as if he had thought of something, but a silly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he quickly retreated from the floating object on the bed like a thief.
The crowded accommodation area did not hinder his speed at all, and he disappeared in front of the two people in a flash.
Only the words "continue tomorrow" were left floating in the air.
…
"Why is this kid still acting so recklessly?" Looking at the back of the man who got away, Lu Baian forced a smile and cursed, but in his heart he wanted to give Shifang a good beating.
No way? This kid doesn't think his behavior is natural, does he?
How is this any different from revealing his true feelings? Even if he's slow to react, he'll definitely notice something's wrong!
But unexpectedly, when he looked at Chang Ruijia nervously, ready to change the subject as soon as something went wrong, he saw Chang Ruijia's face full of thought, as if she didn't hear anything.
Lu Baian: ...
There are really some who are slow to react.
In fact, Chang Ruijia had noticed that something was wrong with Shifang, but he had been abnormal for a long time. For her now, nothing was more important than another matter.
"There's something I need to sync with you on."
"Okay, you say." Seeing Chang Ruijia's cautious expression, Lu Baian immediately threw away his original little thoughts.
Based on their previous experience together, Chang Ruijia is never a person who speaks without a purpose. Things that deserve her to use such a serious expression are not trivial matters.
Did something happen again?
The people in the market have already developed certain rules to deal with the monster fish under the sea recently, so there shouldn’t be any more trouble, right?
Could it be that another storm is about to occur?
As expected, before Lu Baian could think over and over again in his mind whether there had been any problems in the nearby sea area recently, Chang Ruijia frowned and spoke.
"I'm not really sure what will happen. But there might be a devastating disaster in the next few days."
Chang Ruijia is in a dilemma because, after all, this incident has not happened yet and it can only be said to be a premonition at best.
Asking someone to believe in such a vague premonition sounds ridiculous.
But even the KanYidao Mall has issued such a warning, and even industrial products are sold at a special price, which shows that this matter must be serious.
Would Chang Ruijia give up all the lives she had saved and escape alone without telling anyone? Even if she did escape, this incident would still be a lifelong burden for her.
While Chang Ruijia was still thinking about what information to say to make Lu Baian think that she was not joking, a male voice sounded above her head.
"I believe you, don't worry."
Chang Ruijia was stunned for a moment.
This... did he believe it so easily? She hadn't said anything yet, just a hunch she'd spoken without any evidence, and he believed it?
Chang Ruijia suddenly raised her head and saw Lu Baian had already walked in front of her, looking at her without blinking, without any question in his eyes.
"I... I said it was just a hunch. There's no evidence yet. How could you... you shouldn't..."
Seeing Chang Ruijia so flustered that she spoke without thinking, Lu Baian hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hand and pressed it on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, we all believe that you are not the kind of person who speaks without purpose. If you have anything to say, we can talk slowly, there is no rush. We are behind you, don't worry."
Although there were layers of clothes on her shoulders, Chang Ruijia felt the burning temperature of the man's palm almost burning her whole body.
In this crappy world, it's already a blessing if people can maintain normal stranger relationships with each other. Inexplicable hostility is everywhere.
She had originally only wanted to find an organization that wouldn't hold her back, and hadn't considered any further development beyond normal business dealings. However, this trust, which had come from nowhere, unexpectedly comforted her.
Chang Ruijia couldn't help but sigh in her heart. How could they just be strangers?
She had discussed what had happened during this period, and had tested her character in some secret ways. Even Shifang had gone into the tent today to help her assemble the propeller and engine for an entire afternoon.
If she had not silently included this group of people in her circle, how could she have allowed this series of events to happen given her nature of keeping people at a distance?
Never mind. Never mind. There's nothing wrong with admitting it.
Lu Baian was trying hard to maintain a righteous look on his face, but suddenly he saw Chang Ruijia in front of him sighing, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Isn't what you said clear enough?
In fact, what Lu Baian said at the beginning was true. And he dared to say that whether it was calling Shi Fang, Zhang Rui, or Yu Jianyi, who was devoted to research, they would definitely have no complaints when talking about their trust in Chang Ruijia.
Whether it is Chang Ruijia who single-handedly supports the basic transactions of the entire market, or her timely assistance during these emergencies, she is worthy of their trust.
But... Lu Baian almost couldn't maintain his expression afterwards because, there was nothing wrong with saying such words at the beginning.
But as the atmosphere between the two of them grew increasingly silent, Chang Ruijia fell into deep thought for some reason. Left alone, he let the bold words he had just spoken echo in his mind over and over again, making him really want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into!!!
What kind of bullshit statement is that!
"Um, what I just said..."
"If I say I know..."
Two voices sounded at the same time. Chang Ruijia raised her eyes with determination and suddenly met Lu Baian's. Seeing the embarrassment in his eyes, she laughed out loud for some reason.
"Well, you should speak first." Lu Baian nodded and smiled embarrassedly.
It’s better not to talk about this embarrassment openly, it’s quite embarrassing to talk about it.
"I want to say," Chang Ruijia paused, looking at Lu Baian's inquiring eyes, and the uneasiness in her heart calmed down a little, "If I say that everything I know comes from certain hints, will you believe it?"
"Hint?" Lu Baian was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Chang Ruijia would suddenly turn the topic to this aspect.
Where did this inexplicable clue come from? On the vast ocean, who could accurately predict the signs of future disasters?
After saying this, Chang Ruijia has been waiting for Lu Baian's reaction. After all, this is her biggest secret besides the Kayidao Mall.
However, when Chang Ruijia saw Lu Baian's confused eyes, she knew that he did not understand what she meant.
So, facing Lu Baian who didn't grasp the key point, Chang Ruijia directly grabbed his arm and pulled him into the tent that Shifang had just walked out of.
Hearing is not as good as seeing. No matter how much you say, it is better for him to see the real thing with his own eyes.
Lu Baian was caught off guard and was pulled hard by Chang Ruijia. He almost stumbled and fell to the ground. He finally stabilized his body. Before he could say anything, he saw the big guy in the tent.
"Oh my god!" Lu Baian exclaimed in surprise.
Even if you have never come into contact with this kind of thing before, after coming to this strange world, who hasn't dreamed of the joy of owning a yacht?
Although we don’t have anything like yachts nowadays, this propeller and engine are in no way inferior!
"This is..." Lu Baian suddenly realized something, "Is this what the stone shop has been loading all day? No wonder I haven't seen him all afternoon."
"Yes, Shifang installed this at my place this afternoon," Chang Ruijia nodded. "Some of the tips I mentioned before are also about this thing."
Since Lu Baian had already seen the propeller and the engine itself, Chang Ruijia no longer hid anything and directly told him all the reminders she had received since she came to the sea.
Of course, she still has her own little thoughts.
He did not directly tell others that he had a discount mall, but instead picked and chose the special-priced items and sold them in a different way.
"You mean to say that before every life-threatening disaster, some emergency device will appear out of thin air on your bed?"
Lu Baian was really dumbfounded by Chang Ruijia's statement.
What is this? Is this a life-saving krypton gold?
Where can I find a top-up? Urgent!
"Yes," Chang Ruijia seemed to think that the stimulation she brought to Lu Baian was not big enough, and she counted on her fingers, "The kitchen knife before the crowd rioted, the sky before the storm, and..."
"Wait, wait, wait a minute," Lu Baian took a deep breath, his eyes immediately turned to the propeller, remembering the topic of their conversation. "Okay, I know you are God's daughter, so what about the propeller this time?"
God's own daughter? Chang Ruijia felt helpless about Lu Baian's statement. If she was really God's own daughter, she would not have been thrown into such a place.
"Yes, the propeller also appeared suddenly this time," Chang Ruijia directly confirmed Lu Baian's thoughts, "That's why I judged that this time, at least near us, there must be a catastrophic disaster, otherwise there would not be such a life-saving device."
Lu Baian nodded. Yes, although such engines and propellers were not considered high-end products in the original society, for the current society that is still at the stage of rowing with wooden planks, such equipment can be considered top-notch.
This is really bad news for them.
