"Su Baiyue, prepare to close the net." Lu Ye's voice came through the door of the cab without turning his head, "We're going south."
The roar of the engine sounded again, and the fishing boat flexibly changed direction. The bow broke through the misty sea and headed towards the first golden light in the south.
The survivors who had just offered supplies and were still in shock were all stunned when they saw the fishing boat move.
"He...he's leaving?"
"Follow! Hurry up and catch up!"
“Don’t fall behind!”
For a moment, all kinds of rafts and small broken boats began to paddle in a panic, like ducklings chasing their mother duck, following closely behind the fishing boat.
However, there are always one or two smart guys.
The man with high cheekbones who had been pushed out to take the blame and kowtowed like crazy, now recovered a little. Looking at Lu Ye's departing back, he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice with a bit of resentment.
"Humph, he's running so fast! Who knew the south would be safe? He has plenty of supplies and powerful guns, but this damn place is so weird! What if the road ahead is a dead end and he takes off in his boat? Wouldn't we be dead if we followed him?"
His voice was not loud, but on the relatively quiet sea, the people on several rafts around him still heard it.
Some people showed hesitation on their faces, thinking that what he said made sense.
But more people just glanced at him coldly, then paddled harder to keep up with the fishing boat.
idiot!
Almost everyone was cursing in their hearts.
Didn’t that cannon fire just now wake you up?
This young man obviously has some tricks up his sleeve!
Following him, even if there are dangers, is a hundred times better than running around like a headless fly!
If you don't hold on to your thighs at this time, are you waiting to die?
Lu Ye didn't care at all about the group of "tails" behind him with different thoughts.
His attention was focused on driving and the radar screen.
The first supply box approached quickly.
"Chen Shu, thirty meters to the left, get ready!"
"Yeah." Shen Shu responded. She stood by the side of the boat, holding the reinforced fishing net tightly in her hand. Although her face remained cold, her movements were very quick.
After calculating the distance accurately, she threw the net bag with force and accurately caught the golden box that was swaying in the waves.
As the fishing boat approached, she and Su Baiyue worked together to drag the heavy supply boxes onto the deck.
Xiao Yiyi also came over and looked at it curiously.
"Open it and take a look." Lu Ye's voice came from the cab.
Su Baiyue used a dagger to pry open the box, revealing some compressed biscuits, a few bottles of water, a small roll of bandages and two bars of sulfur soap.
"It's okay, put it away." Lu Ye commented. It wasn't a surprise, but it was practical.
He continued to steer the fishing boat towards the next light.
Looking at the three women busy on the deck - Chen Shu who was operating calmly, Su Baiyue who was carefully recording the supplies, and Xiao Yiyi who was trying hard to help but was a little clumsy - Lu Ye touched his chin.
A doctor, a Valkyrie, a little cook...
I feel like the masculine energy on this boat is all supported by me alone.
He complained silently in his heart.
We're still too short-staffed. Once we're settled down, we'll have to find a way to contact those brothers who shared our lives with us. I wonder how they're doing now...
While he was thinking, the fishing boat had already sailed out of the core area of the previous thick fog.
The surrounding fog faded and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the view suddenly became clear. Although the sky was still gloomy, at least the distant horizon could be seen clearly.
The survivors following behind saw this scene and suddenly burst into thunderous cheers!
"The fog has cleared! It's really cleared!"
"We're out! We're safe!"
"Boss Lu! Amazing! You're so awesome!"
"Thank you, Boss Lu, for saving my life!"
Various voices of gratitude came together, filled with the ecstasy of surviving the disaster.
Lu Ye felt a headache from the noise, so he walked out of the cab, leaned against the door, and picked his ears.
"Alright, alright, shut up. I said, I'm going my own way, whether you follow me or not is your business."
His cold attitude actually made the survivors even more awed.
A few quick-witted ones had already rowed their rafts closer again, with ingratiating smiles on their faces and things in their hands.
"Boss Lu, this is just a small token of my appreciation! Thank you for leading us out of the fog!"
"Yes, yes, we cannot thank you enough for your kindness! From now on, if you have any instructions, we will do it without hesitation!"
"Please keep these things for now. When we find something good in the future, we will definitely give it to you first!"
These people were busy calculating in their minds.
This Lu Ye, despite being so young, has ships and cannons, and his luck is incredibly good. It will definitely be a good idea to follow him!
If I don't hurry up and curry favor with him now, when he really becomes the overlord of this sea area, I won't have a say anymore.
Lu Ye glanced at those people and his eyes swept over the things they took out.
Broken tools, scattered food...most of them he looked down upon.
But he has always been a pragmatist. Based on the principle that even a mosquito leg is meat, he signaled Su Baiyue to accept those things that looked useful, such as some metal parts, ropes, etc.
Just then, a man approached. He was very respectful and even a little nervous.
"Boss Lu, I have one last bit of savings: two barrels of spare fuel! You definitely need it more than I do!"
He pointed to two other smaller oil drums on the raft and spoke sincerely.
Fuel! It's hard currency! More valuable than diesel!
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows. This time, he was really surprised. This guy was really spending a lot of money.
He looked at the man deeply and nodded: "Okay, you know what's good for you."
After receiving Lu Ye's affirmation, the man was so excited that his face turned red. He quickly instructed his companions to carefully bring the oil barrel over.
Then, he rubbed his hands, mustered up great courage, and shamelessly leaned forward to ask.
"Boss Lu... can I... add you as a friend? I'll be able to take care of you in the future..."
Lu Ye pondered for a moment. This man was willing to take out the fuel, which showed that he had some courage.
Multiple contacts might be useful in the future.
"ID." He said briefly.
The man was overjoyed and quickly reported his ID: "[Qinfeng Capital-Qin Yue]!"
Lu Ye's fingers, which were about to enter something, suddenly stopped.
This name...why does it sound so familiar?
His head shot up, and he took another good look at the man on the raft.
Although the man was covered in dirt, his hair was tangled like a bird's nest, he was wearing tattered clothes, and he was so thin that he looked unrecognizable, but the outline between his eyebrows...
The image of the high-spirited young entrepreneur in a suit and tie that appeared in the financial news before the game started instantly flashed through Lu Ye’s mind!
The legendary upstart in the investment world who started from scratch and built a small business empire in just a few years - Qin Yue!
