Suddenly, a tall and thin man who looked a little smarter appeared behind Liu Chenggong.
A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He looked at Lu Ye fiercely and shouted with all his strength:
"Big brother! We are not in the same group with him! He was the one who insisted on dragging us along! Stealing was his idea alone! We hand him over to you! You arrest him! Just give us something to eat! Okay?!"
As soon as the tall and thin man finished speaking, another companion echoed him shrilly.
"That's right! Brother Lu! We didn't even touch any of the food or drinks! They were all hidden away by that bastard Liu Chenggong! We were deceived by him! We thought we could find a way out by following him, but who knew he was such a jerk!"
"You... are farting!"
Liu Chenggong stared at his former companion in disbelief, as if he was about to explode with anger in the next second.
He never imagined that the people who were huddling together for warmth on a broken boat just a moment ago would push him out as a scapegoat in the blink of an eye in order to save their lives!
What an ungrateful bunch of bastards!
"Are we farting?" The tall and thin man sneered, his eyes full of contempt.
"Liu Chenggong, ask yourself honestly! Who insisted on dragging us away? Who swore that they could find the ship? And who stole other people's things and wanted to keep them for themselves?"
"We have no friendship with you to begin with. If you hadn't deceived us, how could we have ended up like this? What's wrong with us bowing to Brother Lu now? We have no grudge against him, do we deserve to die with you?!"
"That's right! He deserves it!" another companion also spat.
"If it weren't for you, we might have already found another team, or just waited patiently for the system to rescue us!"
There was a sudden chaos on the sampan. The three men pointed at Liu Chenggong's nose and cursed at him, spitting everywhere.
Internal strife has already broken out.
At the door of the wooden house, Lu Ye listened to this dog-eat-dog farce with great interest.
He did not rush to express his opinion, but turned back to the house and came out again after a while.
He no longer held the beef in his hand, but instead wore a thick waterproof jacket. He also threw a dry and soft blanket to Shen Shu and Su Baiyue beside him.
Although the rain at sea had stopped, the salty wind became increasingly biting and the temperature dropped sharply.
It was fine as there was heat from the hot pot in the wooden house, but as soon as it got out, the coldness penetrated every pore.
Lu Ye zipped up his jacket to the top, tightened his cuffs, felt the warmth brought by the clothes, and watched the farce on the sampan leisurely.
He slowly pulled out a pair of multi-tool pliers from his pocket and fiddled with them with a click.
Shen Shu wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, her cold eyes showing no sympathy, only indifference and entitlement.
Su Baiyue also silently put on the blanket, looked at the sampan with complicated eyes, then looked at Lu Ye, and finally chose to remain silent.
They were warm and comfortable, in stark contrast to the men on the sampan who were shivering in the cold wind, their clothes soaked.
Liu Chenggong was scolded so badly that he felt cold and angry, and his whole body was shaking like a sieve.
He looked at Lu Ye's leisurely and comfortable appearance, and a fire of evil suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart!
Damn it! Why am I freezing and starving here while you guys are enjoying the good life?!
He suddenly grabbed the tall and thin man next to him who was cursing the most fiercely, lowered his voice, and roared with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Stop arguing! Listen to me! There's no point in begging him! Look at him, he just wants to see us die! Instead of waiting to die, we might as well give it a try!"
The tall and thin man was hurt by his grip and was frightened by the madness in his eyes.
"Spell? How do you spell it?!"
"Rob!" Liu Chenggong gritted his teeth, the sound seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Look carefully! He's the only man on the boat! What use are those two women? If three grown men charge in, are we afraid we can't take him?! As long as we seize his boat, his equipment, and his food will all be ours!"
His eyes swept over Shen Shu and Su Baiyue, and a trace of greed flashed across his eyes. "When the time comes, the women will be ours too!"
When it comes to survival, morality and humanity have long been thrown out of the window.
Liu Chenggong had only one thought at this moment: survive, at all costs!
However, his whisper did not escape Lu Ye's ears.
Just when Liu Chenggong was trying to incite his companions to make a last stand, Lu Ye stopped fiddling with the pliers.
He raised his head, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"Rob my boat?" Lu Ye's voice was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the wind and reached the ears of everyone on the sampan.
"Okay, I'd like to see if you have the ability."
Before he finished speaking, his wrist shook violently!
I saw a black shadow shooting out like a poisonous snake out of a cave, with a sound of breaking through the air, and then it hit the sampan with a "whoosh"!
It turned out to be a whale hook with a barb!
“Crack!”
A crisp sound!
The whaling hook accurately hit the side of the sampan near Liu Chenggong's feet. The hard wood shattered and a gap as big as a bowl was opened!
The sampan shook violently, and sea water instantly rushed in from the gap!
"Ah!" Liu Chenggong was caught off guard, stumbled, and almost fell directly into the cold sea!
He subconsciously reached out to grab something nearby to steady himself, but he didn't hold on tightly, and his body shook violently instead.
He threw away the last small bag of compressed biscuits wrapped in oil paper that he had carefully hidden in his arms!
"My biscuits!" Liu Chenggong watched helplessly as the last life-saving food drew a parabola.
With a "plop", he fell into the surging waves and disappeared in an instant.
Without thinking, he rushed to the side of the boat like a madman and reached out to grab it.
The result was naturally nothing, and also because the center of gravity was unstable.
With a "bang", the man fell miserably onto the wet, water-filled sampan, with a mouth full of dirty water and wood chips, like a dead dog out of water.
"A dog eating shit" is not enough to describe his miserable condition at the moment.
The two companions behind him, after a brief moment of astonishment, all looked at the place where the biscuit had just fallen and at Liu Chenggong's empty arms.
"Biscuits?!" The tall and thin man's eyes turned red.
"Liu Chenggong! You even hid some fucking food?! Didn't you say we had nothing?!"
Another companion also reacted and was shaking with anger.
"Good for you, Liu Chenggong! We're starving, and you're still secretly hiding cookies! You selfish bastard!"
The thought of following him and desperately trying to grab the boat just now disappeared in an instant! They finally understood that Liu Chenggong was not a trustworthy person at all! And the man opposite named Lu Ye was too scary!
Their ship can be destroyed with just one blow. If a real fight comes, none of them combined will be enough!
