"Boss!! Boss!!"
A terrified scream came from inside the cabin.
Boss Gao's brow twitched, and he roared impatiently.
"What's wrong! What the hell is wrong now?!"
"Boss! The bottom of the hull is badly damaged, and a lot of black water is pouring in! The ship is sinking!"
Boss Gao's expression changed drastically. The next second, the ship shook violently and began to tilt. Black water rushed into the cabin, and everyone rushed frantically to the deck.
The black water rushes in much faster than ordinary seawater.
Any contact with the skin would result in death or serious injury, and in the current situation, there is absolutely no chance of survival.
A large amount of black water rushed in, and when Boss Gao saw this, he cursed angrily and was about to jump into the spare boat.
They came prepared this time. After capturing the large ship, most of the smaller boats sailed back to report the news. Dozens of Black Dragon Gang members were on the large ship, while only two or three small boats remained.
Upon seeing this, the members who were waiting for news on the small boat immediately set sail and ran away, and they couldn't be called back.
There were two small boats left, one of which was already full of people and wobbled away.
Many people rushed over the remaining path, and when Boss Gao saw this, he roared angrily.
"Are you all trying to rebel?! Get the hell out of my way!"
In this life-or-death situation, even the boss's words were useless. The underlings acted as if they hadn't heard him and continued to jump onto the small boat one after another.
Without any weapons to deter him, Boss Gao could only rush forward in a disheveled manner, using his height and size advantage to easily knock aside everyone in front of him, and then jumped onto the small boat without any regard for anything else.
Even at this moment, he didn't forget one person: Lu Ling, since everyone was counting on him to find the air-raid shelter.
Amidst the chaos of the crowd, Boss Gao finally spotted Lu Ling, who was still standing motionless on the deck, and couldn't help but shout at him.
"Lu Ling! Jump down right now!"
Lu Ling seemed not to hear and walked straight to the other side of the ship. He thought that no one would notice his every move in the chaos, but Boss Gao saw him and jumped off the ship!
"This kid's asking for it?!"
Thinking of this, Boss Gao kicked the few underlings who were crowding around him into the water. He then grabbed the steering wheel at the bow of the ship, turned it sharply, leaving the screaming underlings behind him, and sped off to the other side of the ship.
By this time, the boat had already sunk more than halfway down. Many people on the surface of the water were struggling and screaming, but the screams soon stopped. Under the corrosive effects of the black water, those who fell into the water could not hold on for long and soon sank.
At that moment, Boss Gao spotted the small boat heading into the distance.
He immediately caught up, and after seeing clearly that the people standing on the boat were indeed Lu Ling and Fang Yingqiu, he accelerated and blocked their way.
"You two run pretty fast!"
Boss Gao stared at the assault boat he had never seen before, looking at the two men with a face full of suspicion.
"I've never seen this ship before?"
Fang Yingqiu's heart tightened.
The situation was urgent, and she could have been injured by the black water if she wasn't careful, so she had no choice but to take out the assault boat hidden in her space.
They thought they could escape in the chaos, but they didn't expect that even at this moment, Boss Gao was still watching them.
Lu Ling's mind raced.
"These are the assault boats on the big ship; you just didn't notice them."
"On a big ship? Oh? How come I didn't see it before?"
The first thing to do when inventorying the cargo is to count whether there are any spare small boats for escape on the side of the ship.
Boss Gao can remember these things clearly.
Therefore, what Lu Ling said at this moment seemed particularly suspicious.
"Since Boss Gao is safe and sound, let's go back and rest for a while. I'll lead the way to the air defense base."
Boss Gao sneered.
“Great, your ship is nice. There are still quite a few brothers on the big ship. You two come to my ship, and you can take the other one back to rescue my brothers.”
Even though they were extremely unwilling, the two of them dared not show it and could only obediently board Boss Gao's boat, letting the speedboat that had been sent out go back to rescue people.
Back at the Black Dragon Gang's base, which was actually just a larger ship floating on the Black Water, they went around shooting and looting.
Without saying a word, Boss Gao boarded the ship, beckoned to the guards on duty, and when they came over, he drew the gun from their waist and pointed it at Lu Ling's head without hesitation.
"Brother Lu, I consider you all friends, but you don't seem to take me seriously. Now, before I lose my temper, let's get things cleared up."
Lu Ling retorted stubbornly.
"Boss Gao, is there some misunderstanding between us? We're here to seek cooperation, how could we not take you seriously?"
"How did you get that ship?"
"It came with the ship itself, really, otherwise where else could we get such a big ship?"
Such a flawless excuse, how could a normal person possibly hold onto it so stubbornly!
Boss Gao grinned maliciously, his lips curling into a sneer.
"Your ship is a non-specialized civilian model, the kind that amateurs bought to play with before the apocalypse. The ship we stole was a professional transport ship. You're telling me your assault boat is from a ship? Do you really think I don't know anything?"
Lu Ling was about to lose her composure.
Even so, he couldn't admit it. It was such a big deal concerning the secret space. If a third person found out, then the secret space would become a public space from then on.
"It was probably picked up by the crew of a merchant ship. Boss Gao, what exactly do you mean by this? Do you think I can conjure up such a big speedboat out of thin air?"
"That's hard to say."
The man's eyes swept over Fang Yingqiu, who remained silent to the side.
"In this apocalypse, even wild beasts can mutate, so why can't humans? Who knows, maybe one of you will actually mutate and be able to conjure up speedboats out of thin air, and even make all my oil disappear out of thin air."
Miss Fang, do you think what I said is correct?
Fang Yingqiu simply pursed her lips and remained silent.
This tense and silent demeanor seemed to confirm Boss Gao's guess.
He suddenly let out a hearty laugh.
"As expected, you two are truly treasures. I bet the one who mutated was Miss Fang, right? How did you manage to do that? Show me again, I didn't see it clearly just now."
Fang Yingqiu retreated repeatedly, shaking her head frantically.
"I don't know what you're talking about. This whole 'mutation' thing is a complete joke!"
"Whether it's a joke or not, I'll find out once I try."
After saying that, Boss Gao pressed the gun against Lu Ling's head and turned to look at Fang Yingqiu with a sinister grin.
