After she finished her meal, she asked Master Fan, "Master, what time do we cross the strait?"
"I just asked Zhang Ming, and he said around eleven o'clock."
"Any news about the pirates?"
"I don't know, but it's been very quiet outside, so the pirates probably haven't caught up with us."
"I'll go out and take a look."
"Don't get too close outside. You can see the sea from the center of the deck."
"Okay." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the house.
When she walked to the center of the deck, she saw that the sea was rough, but there was no sign of the pirates. It seemed that they had not yet removed the poison she had given them, otherwise they would have caught up with her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to go back to her room, she saw Zhang Ming walking towards her. It seemed that he had something to discuss with her.
So he stopped and stood there, waiting for Zhang Ming to arrive.
"Comrade Lu, the captain asks you to go to the control room." Zhang Ming said to Lu Xiaoxiao when he walked in front of her.
"Did Captain Meng tell me what he wanted to talk to me about?"
"No, he asked you to come to the cab."
"I understand." After saying that, Lu Xiaoxiao walked towards the cab.
After she entered the driving room, she asked Meng Yuan, "Captain Meng, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Are the pirates coming tonight?"
"I don't know about that either. Just patrol as you normally would."
"We have asked them to go on patrol, and so far no trace of pirates has been found."
"Then continue patrolling. Isn't it still three hours before we cross the strait?"
"Well, we hope you can help us when we cross the strait later. This is the reward." After Meng Yuan finished speaking, he took out the US dollars he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed them to Lu Xiaoxiao.
Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at the US dollars in Meng Yuan's hand and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she didn't reach out to take the US dollars. Instead, she asked Meng Yuan: "Is there any problem with that strait? Are there pirates there too?"
"No, but the behavior of the people there is even more disgusting than that of the pirates."
"What do you mean?"
"They want money, desperately. If we don't give it to them, they won't let us cross the strait safely."
"How is it unstable? Are they going to throw explosive packs to blow up the ship?"
"They did throw it, but because their skills were not up to par, they only blew up the deck."
"Then why are you afraid of them? Just speed up and sail the ship across the channel. Explosives will have no effect on you anyway."
“It’s true that explosives have no effect on us, but they put iron wheels under the water, iron wheels full of spikes like hedgehogs.
If we ignore them and rush across the channel, they will activate the mechanism to turn the iron wheel and blow countless large holes in the bottom of the ship. "
After listening to Meng Yuan's words, Lu Xiaoxiao finally understood why Meng Yuan was so distressed, because this matter was indeed very tricky.
But since Meng Yuan asked her for help, he must have figured out how to deal with the people who settled on the strait.
Thinking of this, he directly asked Meng Yuan: "Captain Meng, how do you want me to help you?"
"I want you to attract their attention, especially those who control the underwater iron wheel. If you can help me attract their attention for one minute, I can drive the boat safely through the channel."
"Impossible, I don't have that much ability, you got the wrong person."
