Upon hearing the bartender say that the ship would take another year to arrive, Lu Yuan immediately frowned.
The only way to leave this island is by boat.
It takes a long time to get there by boat, and water transport isn't very developed here.
The only shipping company was run by Earthlings.
Their main industry is transporting human slaves and livestock, not passenger ships.
Of course, you can come along if you want.
However, a hefty toll fee must be paid.
Lu Yuan had already found out while he was in prison that Lu Yuan wanted to leave the island.
Leave this place that makes him feel uncomfortable forever.
He needed to find his wife, children, and family elsewhere, so he had to leave.
But when he heard that it would take another year, he suddenly felt that he really couldn't bear that year.
After clenching his teeth tightly, Lu Yuan looked up at the bartender.
"Is there any other way to leave this continent?"
The other person shook his head with a wry smile, then took out a pack of cheap cigarettes from the table, lit one with a match, took a light puff, and looked at Lu Yuan.
"There's no way to leave this island except by boat. Of course, you can book your ticket in advance before the boat arrives, and we can help you with that!"
All you need to do is find a job here, or if you're rich enough, find a place to stay and settle down, then wait for the ship to come and go with it.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly after hearing his words.
He didn't want to stay in this lawless place any longer.
Although this place represents freedom, it is extremely dangerous inside, and there is always the possibility of being exposed.
After all, prosecutors often come here to search for fugitives. His identity is very sensitive, and if he is discovered, he may have to be put back in prison.
He didn't want to go back to that place that terrified him. The prison was run by the people of Earth, and if he went back again, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to leave.
The bartender seemed to have seen through Lu Yuan's thoughts, and after a moment of contemplation, he said...
"Brother, give me this money, and I'll find you a job. How can I guarantee your safety?"
Upon hearing his words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glance at the other person.
"You'll help me find a job? And you can even guarantee my safety? Are you sure?"
The other person grinned, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth.
"Of course, I am the only night bartender in this deep-sea bar. Here I can find out anything you want to know, as long as you are willing to pay enough money. Whether it's booking a boat ticket, going anywhere, or even if you are a fugitive, you don't have to worry!"
I can take care of your worries! But the condition is that you must listen to me and abide by the rules here. If you can't even follow the rules, then I'm sorry, I can't protect you, and nobody can protect you!
After pondering for a moment, Lu Yuan decided to stay in this place for a while.
He really can't leave, but he needs a very safe place.
Lu Yuan knew that if the other party agreed, they must be able to do it.
He seemed like a seasoned veteran. Ordinary people might have a chance if they approached him, but Lu Yuan didn't want to be taken advantage of.
"No problem, you can have the gold bars, but let me make this clear first: if you dare to lie to me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The other person chuckled and was about to speak when he realized that Lu Yuan had somehow pulled out a pistol and was pointing it at him.
A look of terror flashed across his eyes.
Just a second ago, Lu Yuan was holding a water glass, and the next second it turned into a pistol.
He didn't know how Lu Yuan did it, but felt a surge of fear in his heart. He gave a smile that was both awkward and somewhat frightened, and the other party smiled at Lu Yuan in a fawning manner.
"Hey bro, don't get me wrong. We're all from the same business. You see, I've been working as a bartender here for a while now, and everyone knows what kind of people I am. Don't worry, leave this to me, and I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, then picked up his backpack.
"The gold bars are yours now. Come find me after you've taken care of things. I'll probably be staying at the bar for the next couple of days, so you'll have to help me with my accommodation!"
The other person immediately smiled, then stuffed the gold bars back into his pocket and pointed to a small room behind him.
"If you don't mind, you can stay here for now. This is my own bedroom. It might be a little messy, but please make do. I've been working the night shift for the past few days, and I won't be able to switch shifts for another two weeks. You can stay here at night and rest during the day!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, then picked up his backpack and followed the other person into the small room behind him.
The small room was pitch black, but the other party took out a small oil lamp, lit it, and the room immediately became bright.
The room could be described as filthy and messy, with bottles scattered all over the floor.
The room was filled with a strong stench of sweat, feet, mold, and cheap alcohol, making the whole room smell unbearably foul.
Lu Yuan slightly covered his nose, then fanned the tip of his nose twice.
"Your room is not just dirty, it's incredibly filthy. You've never cleaned it, have you?"
The other person scratched their head sheepishly.
"Hey, I'm the kind of person who just takes it one day at a time and doesn't care about so many things. I'm usually quite lazy. If you'd like, you can help with the cleaning. If not, then you'll just have to make do. I'm busy, so you can sleep here at night and I'll sleep during the day!"
Lu Yuan sighed, then went into the room and tidied up briefly.
There's so many bottles on the ground that there's nowhere to even step; it needs to be tidied up.
And the bedding on the bed, which had been used by the other person for who knows how many years, looked so smelly, as if it had been there since before the apocalypse. It was all black and its original color was completely unrecognizable.
Helpless, Lu Yuan simply tossed the bedding aside. On the hard bed, Lu Yuan used his backpack as a pillow, covered himself with his clothes, and went to sleep. As for helping the other person tidy up the room, Lu Yuan was too lazy to do anything; he simply didn't want to help.
After lying in bed for only a few minutes, Lu Yuan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. It had been far too long since he had relaxed his guard and slept like this.
He knew this place was relatively safe. Although the bartender didn't seem very reliable, at least he wouldn't take his money and then try to cheat him. He didn't have that kind of guts.
