"You said you have a boat?" After hearing him say that, Lin Yang put down the machete he was using to scare people.
When Chang Shisi found that this man was no longer pointing a weapon at him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly, fearing that these people would suddenly lose their patience and kill him without listening to him. "I came here from the other side of the river by boat today. So if you want to cross the river, I can take you there."
Hearing this, Lin Yang glanced at Gu Yichen beside him and asked for his opinion.
When they were at the cross-river bridge just now, they were worried about not being able to cross the bridge today. In fact, if they had a boat, they would not have to turn back to the Yancheng base and could reach the other side of the river today.
Gu Yicheng also became interested and asked a direct question: "Can your boat accommodate all of us at once?"
Chang Shisi looked around and took a look at the number of people in the team. He said hesitantly, "My boat is relatively small. If you have three cars of people, you probably won't be able to fit in... It will take at least two trips to get you all over."
Two trips is indeed more troublesome than one.
Chang Shisi saw that they were interested in this topic, so he knew that they also wanted to cross the river. However, he was unsure whether these people would let him go this time because he helped them after he sent them across the river.
"Where is the boat? Take us there now." There should be quite a few mutant animals in this river. Whether the boat can accommodate so many people is not the most important thing. The key is whether the boat is sturdy or not.
If the boat fell into the river before reaching the shore, they might not be able to defeat the mutant animals in the water.
"Then...if I send you all to the other side of the river, can you let me go this time?" Chang Shisi's life is now in the hands of others. He is very nervous and his tone is cautious when he speaks.
But you said he couldn't keep it to himself. He couldn't let these people kill him after they got to the other side of the river. What was the point of him taking these people with him?!
Lin Yang noticed that he had been looking at the machete in his hand vaguely. He understood what he was worried about, laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "It depends on your performance later. If you perform well, we will let you go. If you don't perform well, we will just throw you into the river."
******
Chang Shisi showed these people the way and took them around for about twenty minutes before they finally arrived at a remote corner by the river.
He glanced at the inverted triangle mark he had carved on the bare tree trunk next to him, which was where he hid his boat, and then said, "It's right here. You pull aside those obstructions, and my boat is behind." If his life was not threatened, Chang Shisi would never have brought them to this place.
After Chang Shisi finished talking to them, he coughed a few times secretly, and then looked around nervously. He hoped that the skinny little monkey was not waiting for him here at this time. If he was here, he hoped that he could receive the signal he gave and never show up. He was captured by these people because of him. If he was captured because of him again, they would suffer a great loss.
Lin Yang didn't go looking for a boat. He just stayed here and watched the man in front of him. Noticing his abnormal behavior, Lin Yang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are you coughing over there?"
Chang Shisi was choked by his question and said uncomfortably, "No, no. I just haven't had water for a long time, so my throat is a little uncomfortable now."
"Oh, really? Aren't you looking for your companion?" Lin Yang looked at him and said jokingly, "Did you ask your companion to set a trap here and lure us here to do something bad?"
This kid looked young, but he was actually quite smart. He had seen this since he was caught. It seemed like he was really capable of doing such a thing. But since they dared to follow him, they would definitely not be unprepared. If he really dared to trick them, then throwing him into the river, as he said before, would not be a lie.
When Chang Shisi heard him say this, he was about to say something to refute it, but then he saw someone in their team walking straight in one direction, and then he heard a familiar voice.
It's a skinny monkey!!
"I'm telling you, let my boss go! Otherwise I'll fight you!"
The little skinny monkey had come to this place to hide as agreed, waiting for the boss to get rid of the group of people and come back, and then they would take a boat to leave here and go to the other side of the river. Not long after, he heard some noise and thought that the boss had gotten rid of the group of people and was coming. However, he not only saw the boss, but also saw that the boss was forced to come here by a group of people, and the whole person was tied up by them.
The skinny little monkey wanted to go over and save the boss at that time, but after seeing the gesture the boss gave him, he stopped acting impulsively and continued to hide aside and watch them.
Unexpectedly, not long after, he saw someone walking towards where he was hiding and caught him.
"You know this guy, right? Isn't he the friend who came with you when you came over to steal our things just now?" Lin Yang said, pointing at the boy who was grabbed by the collar by Jiang Jingchao.
Seeing this scene, Chang Shisi finally understood why this team was able to find the direction where the skinny monkey escaped. It turned out that there was a rare psychic in this team. He said that from the beginning, he felt that he had been seen through.
Seeing that the skinny little monkey was tied up by the same group of people as him, Chang Shisi's face was filled with depression and unhappiness. It seemed that they were really wiped out this time.
Lin Yang looked at the man in front of him who looked like he had lost all hope in life. He was too embarrassed to tease him anymore. He smiled and said, "Come on, kid, stop looking so gloomy. As long as we cross the river smoothly, we will let you and your good friend go. To be honest, even if you want to stay in our team, we still think it's too much trouble to bring you two along, so don't worry, no one wants to keep you."
Chang Shisi understood what he meant, his eyes widened, and his tone was filled with doubt: "Really? Are you really willing to let the two of us go?"
Although Chang Shisi became a superpower the day after the apocalypse, there were always people who deceived him because he was young and thought he was easy to deceive. He believed it at first, but later he gradually became smarter.
But these people are very powerful, so there should be no need to lie to him, right?
Chang Shisi decided to trust these people for the time being.
