The storm was isolated outside, and this place became the only safe haven. This hot pot dispelled the cold and fear and brought indescribable comfort.
Just as Lu Ye picked up the first piece of fat beef cooked in the red oil pan and prepared to enjoy his first hot pot meal at sea in this doomsday——
“Help! Is there anyone?! Help us!”
An extremely clear cry for help, mixed with the sound of wind and waves, came in intermittently!
Lu Ye suddenly stopped holding the beef and his brows furrowed instantly.
This voice...why does it sound familiar?
He put down his chopsticks, walked to the small window, and squinted his eyes to look out against the wind and rain.
There were still huge waves on the sea, but not far from the speedboat, there was occasional flash of lightning that cut through the night sky.
Lu Ye saw a scene that surprised and yet did not surprise him.
A dilapidated small sampan was swaying like a leaf in the huge waves and was about to be swallowed up at any time!
On the sampan, there were four shivering figures, soaked all over, like drowned rats, without even a decent tool to shelter from the rain!
And one of them was clinging to the side of the boat, desperately waving towards them and calling for help. Who else could it be but Liu Chenggong?!
Haha, it really is haunting me.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Lu Ye's eyes.
It seems that this guy has found his "teammates". He thought he could sit back and relax after stealing the supplies and reuniting with them, but he didn't expect that God would give them a "Raging Sea" luxury experience package!
Look at their little shabby boat, and then look at my speedboat with a reinforced hull, a wooden cabin, and even a place where I can leisurely eat hot pot...
Tsk, you deserve it!
Lu Ye sneered in his heart.
Su Baiyue next to her also came over and saw the scene outside. Her face turned slightly pale, and then a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
Fortunately, she did not choose to go along with Liu Chenggong, nor did she choose to betray Lu Ye for the sake of temporary interests.
Otherwise, she might be one of the people who are now tossing around on that broken ship and could be eaten by fish at any time!
This contrast is too tragic and too realistic!
At this time, Liu Chenggong on the sampan seemed to finally see the firelight coming through the window of the wooden house and the vague human figure.
He seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and roared even harder, not caring who the opponent was:
"Friends on the boat! Please be kind! Save us! We have supplies! I can give you supplies! Just rescue us and when we return to the real world, I, Liu Chenggong, swear! I will give you half of my family's wealth!"
Lu Ye rolled his eyes when he heard this.
Property? In this damn place, your billions of dollars can't even buy a pack of instant noodles. It's just a pile of shit! And you want to give me half? Why don't you just give me the whole planet?
There was no response from inside the cabin.
There was only the gurgling sound of the hot pot and the tempting aroma, as if silently mocking the group of people outside.
Seeing no one answer, Liu Chenggong felt anxious and angry, but his instinct for survival forced him to suppress his anger and change his strategy:
"Friends! We're all human! It's not easy to survive in this damn game! Please help us! The waves are too big out there! We can't hold on any longer! Just give us a hand, and we'll be allies from now on!"
He spoke sincerely, but he was calculating frantically in his mind.
Damn! There must be food on this boat! What was that smell just now? It smelled so good! It sounded like meat...
He had just faintly smelled the aroma of meat, which made him even more certain that the other party's ship was rich in supplies.
After I go up and recover, I will find a chance to seize this boat!
By then, all the food and women will be mine!
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was doomed to fail.
Inside the wooden house, Lu Ye had already leisurely eaten a few bites of meat and drank some hot soup, and felt warm and comfortable all over.
Then he slowly picked up a spare torch, lit it, pushed open the simple but sturdy door of the wooden house, and walked out holding the torch.
"What are you arguing about? Are you going to let people eat?"
The cold voice accompanied by the flickering flames instantly illuminated Liu Chenggong's frightened and terrified face.
When Liu Chenggong saw the face with a hint of mockery and indifference in the firelight, he was completely dumbfounded!
It was actually Lu Ye? !
An indescribable fear instantly gripped him!
He thought about the supplies he had stolen, and now he was asking for help from the people he had betrayed?!
"Lu...Brother Lu?"
Liu Chenggong's throat was dry and tight, and his face turned red and white.
"Don't," Lu Ye interrupted him rudely, his tone full of mockery.
"I can't bear to be called brother by you. What? Did you find your friends? Why are you coming to me instead of continuing to have fun on the sea?"
He glanced at the other three pale and thin men on the sampan, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Now that I'm full and in a good mood, go as far away as you can!"
Liu Chenggong's face looked extremely ugly, but he didn't want to die!
He gritted his teeth, suppressed the humiliation, and forced a smile.
"Brother Lu! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I was wrong before, I was possessed by the devil! I'll return the supplies to you! No! I'll exchange them with you for more supplies! We also have some collected things here. Can you trade places with us and let us get on the boat to take shelter?"
"Oh? Exchange supplies?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, seeming to be interested.
He turned around and went back into the house, and came out a moment later, holding a bowl of steaming and fragrant beef hot pot meat in his hand!
The red oil is boiling and the meat slices are tender.
He deliberately moved the bowl forward so that the tempting aroma could be clearly presented to Liu Chenggong and others.
"Here, this is some freshly cooked beef. Want some?" Lu Ye asked with a smile. "Tell me, what are you going to give me in exchange?"
"Gudong!"
Not only Liu Chenggong, but the three companions behind him also swallowed their saliva in unison, staring at the bowl of meat, their Adam's apples rolling up and down, their eyes filled with the most primitive desire for food!
They haven't seen proper hot food for a long time, let alone meat that looks so delicious!
Liu Chenggong opened his mouth, but couldn't answer the first time.
The pitiful supplies they have are probably not enough to exchange for a bowl of meat, let alone a sip of hot soup!
What's more, the other party obviously has no shortage of food!
At this moment, Shen Shu also walked to Lu Ye's side, and her cold eyes shot towards Liu Chenggong like a sharp sword, her voice filled with undisguised disgust.
"Liu Chenggong! How dare you come back?! You stole our food and water! And now you dare to come and ask for help?"
She took a step forward and said, "Lu Ye's team will never take in traitors! Forget about that!"
Shen Shu's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Liu Chenggong and his companions' hearts hard.
There was dead silence on the sampan, with only the sound of wind and waves and their heavy breathing.
