The densely packed bombs counting down below flashed through Lu Ye's mind.
Unless they knew something too.
Before Lin Yang finished speaking, a heavy and chaotic sound of footsteps came from afar, making a dull "clang clang" sound on the steel deck, which was particularly harsh in this chaotic "steel cemetery".
The shadows swayed at the corner, and a burly man with a face full of flesh walked out, carrying a shovel stained with oil and unknown stains on his shoulder. He swept his eyes fiercely over Lu Ye and Shen Shu, and finally fixed on Shen Shu's face, which was beautiful even though it was stained with a little dust.
"Boy," the man sneered, his voice rough and unpleasant. He nodded at Shen Shu with his chin and glanced at the scattered supplies at Lu Ye's feet.
"Leave your things here, leave this girl here too, and you can get out now."
Shen Shu subconsciously grabbed Lu Ye's arm, shrank slightly behind him, and her face turned pale.
Although she had experienced many storms, this naked gaze still made her feel a chill in her heart.
Lu Ye remained calm, not even frowning, and just met the other person's gaze calmly.
"Who are you?"
Before the big man could speak, a short man with a pointed face and a ragged vest jumped out from behind him, looking like a lackey.
He pointed at Lu Ye's nose and screamed.
"Hey! What the fuck are you looking at, kid? Don't you have eyes? This is Brother Gang! A ruthless man who survived on the edge of a knife! Without Brother Gang's protection, all of us brothers would have been fucking fed to turtles long ago!"
The little guy spitted everywhere, then turned to look at Shen Shu, forcing out what he thought was the kindest smile, but his tone was vulgar.
"Beautiful lady, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Follow our Brother Gang, that's the future! We have a big ship now! Nearly a hundred meters long! We're made of welded steel plates! There's even a place to live on top, to protect us from the wind and rain! It's way better than your shabby sampan or small freighter! Follow him, and you'll be well fed and well fed!"
Lu Ye was almost amused by these words.
One hundred meters? And with accommodation?
You have the nerve to call this thing hastily put together from a pile of scrap metal a "big ship"?
He sneered in his heart, but remained expressionless on his face.
"Oh? A one hundred meter ship?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, his tone full of undisguised mockery.
"Then I guess your 'Brother Gang' must be quite capable, to have managed to raise such a large team and assets in this damn place, right?"
The big man called 'Brother Gang' was obviously very fond of this flattery. Although he knew that Lu Ye might be mocking him, he still showed a smug look on his face.
He slammed the shovel heavily on the deck, and there was a sharp "clang" sound.
"That's right! It's all thanks to my knowledge! If you don't have some real skills to survive at sea, you'd be dead long ago!"
He patted his chest as if showing off his trophies, and spit flew far away.
"Let me tell you, we've got a one-story boat! We even have a fishing net on it! Now follow my brothers, and every day everyone can get a share of freshly caught ocean fish!"
He deliberately emphasized the three words "half a fish", his eyes full of pride in his abilities.
Half an ordinary sea fish?
The corners of Lu Ye's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He had long since turned his eyes away from this low-level resource that was barely enough to fill his teeth and had a strong fishy smell.
Any compressed biscuits he could exchange for in the system mall would be more filling than this thing, not to mention that he had some top-quality Wagyu beef in his backpack that he had traded for previously.
Chen Shu also frowned slightly, looking at the group of tall and strong men with pale faces and greedy eyes, and her eyes couldn't help but show a hint of complexity.
There was disgust, but also a fleeting flash of pity.
Is this the survival capital they are proud of?
Can eating half a hard-to-swallow sea fish every day make them feel that they are "eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks"?
She subconsciously clutched the corner of Lu Ye's clothes, feeling a mixture of fear and relief.
Fortunately, fortunately I was bound to Lu Ye from the beginning.
Following Lu Ye, although every step was thrilling, at least in terms of "eating", I have never been wronged. I have tasted top-quality Wagyu beef, not to mention the clean fresh water and high-energy recovery products.
Compared with the "half fish" of this group of people in front of me, it is like the difference between heaven and hell.
Brother Gang obviously misunderstood the slightly strange expressions on the two men's faces, thinking that they were intimidated by his "strong strength".
He raised his chin even higher and looked at Lu Ye as if he was announcing a reward, with a conferring tone.
"Boy, I think you're pretty smart. How about this, you keep this woman. Then you'll be with me from now on, be my little brother, and serve me well."
He paused, as if considering what "great favor" to grant, and then added mercifully.
"If you behave well, I'll give you half a fish every day! How's that? Pretty nice, right?"
“Puff—”
This time, Lu Ye really couldn't help laughing.
These idiots probably don't even know they're about to die.
Are you still dreaming of becoming the king of the mountain and having women on your side?
The laughter stopped abruptly, and Lu Ye's eyes instantly became cold and sharp.
He flipped his wrist, and a lighter with a cheap metallic luster flashing in the sunlight appeared in his palm. His other hand had already grasped a can of hair spray and mousse that he had thrown into his backpack when he was cleaning up the supplies.
“Swish!”
A crisp sound of ignition was heard, and bright yellow flames jumped out.
The next second, Lu Ye pressed the hairspray nozzle with his thumb——
"call--!"
An orange-red tongue of fire with a pungent chemical smell suddenly gushed out like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and caught Gang Ge in the face while he was still daydreaming!
“Ah! My face!”
Brother Gang let out a heart-wrenching scream, staggered back, covering his face, and the smell of burnt hair instantly filled the air.
His eyebrows, hair, and even the exposed skin on his face were instantly burned by the high temperature, becoming charred and curled.
The group of younger brothers behind him were all shocked and it took them two seconds to react.
"Fuck! You're looking for death!"
"Dare to touch Brother Gang! Brothers, kill him!"
"Kill him!"
They all raised a variety of "weapons" in their hands - rusty iron rods, broken wooden sticks, and some even held crowbars, yelling at Lu Ye in a cowardly manner, as if they were about to rush up.
Lu Ye didn't take this group of weak but strong-looking rabble seriously at all.
His eyes turned cold, his mind moved slightly, and several half-person-high cardboard boxes that were blocking the space in the system warehouse suddenly appeared out of thin air, and "crackled" and smashed towards the group of younger brothers who were about to rush forward!
Although the cardboard boxes were not heavy, there were quite a few of them, which instantly blocked their vision and caused chaos.
"What the hell?!"
"Blocking me!"
