"yes!"
After receiving the order, the two younger brothers immediately jumped off the yacht.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh that he was really foresighted.
Fortunately, I cut the hemp rope first, otherwise I would have been exposed.
"Boss, there are only two broken oars made of thick branches and rotten leaves. I guess that's why no one used this lifeboat in the first place..."
"Okay, come up and look at the stern again. Make sure you find it for me."
Lu Xuan didn't expect that the two homemade bamboo oars he left on the boat had this effect, and they actually successfully helped the boat escape from the suspicious situation.
But at the moment, Lu Xuan had no time to celebrate for not being discovered, because the two men were already walking towards the stern.
After seeing the weapons in the opponent's hands and the fact that there were far more than four people, Lu Xuan now had no intention of confronting the opponent head-on. The only way out was to find a place to hide, wait for the opponent to retreat, and then return.
Lu Xuan bent down carefully and returned along the same path he came from.
You have to check the situation behind you from time to time, while also paying attention to the front and the floor above your head. This game of hide-and-seek is really not fun.
Fortunately, the group of people were not found at the stairs leading to the bottom cabin. Lu Xuan did not dare to stay for too long and decisively chose to go back to the bottom cabin again.
What made Lu Xuan sigh was that the dim, damp and cold environment in the bottom cabin was something he hated. He had even thought about never wanting to come here again more than once. But now, the dim environment here has become Lu Xuan's best hiding place.
All I can say is that everything in the world is relative. Where there are benefits, there are disadvantages, and vice versa. There is no absolute right or wrong, good or bad.
But now was not the time to marvel at the beauty of philosophy. After returning to the bottom cabin, Lu Xuan retrieved his backpack, looked around, and confirmed that there was no one around. He immediately ran towards the bow of the ship, which he was familiar with. He pushed open several doors, but none of them seemed suitable for hiding. Until he returned to the room between Room 102 and Room 101, Lu Xuan found a room that he thought was suitable for hiding.
The door of Room 103 opposite was open, and the interior was messy, with various objects scattered on the ground. Even the wardrobe had fallen over. Moreover, due to the low terrain here, there was a lot of water in the room. As soon as Lu Xuan entered the room, he smelled a disgusting musty odor.
An hour ago, seeing such a scene and smelling such a pungent smell, Lu Xuan would definitely avoid it, but now everything has changed. The more messy and dirty the environment is, the easier it is for him to hide.
Just as I decided on a hiding place, I heard the voices of several men at the stairs.
"We've searched all upstairs, except for the bottom floor. All of you, follow me down."
"This place smells too strong..."
"It's still pitch black. Do you have a flashlight? I can give you some light..."
It was obvious that this group of people's disgust for this place was definitely no less than when Lu Xuan first entered this place.
After hearing the sound of the other party coming down the stairs, Lu Xuan immediately hid in Room 103 and hid behind the collapsed wardrobe. Not only was there a lot of water here, but there was also a half-collapsed wardrobe as a cover. There were also a lot of messy items in front blocking the way. If you didn't observe carefully, you would never have thought that there was a lot of trouble behind this.
In order not to make any noise, Lu Xuan almost tiptoed and hid himself behind the wardrobe.
"...I say, Boss, is it really necessary to mobilize so many troops and make such a big fuss? The ship is in such a mess, everyone must be dead."
Lu Xuan had just hidden himself when several people had already walked into the corridor. Lu Xuan vaguely heard the voices of several people talking.
"You know shit! Didn't you see the boss got scolded? He's completely dead, completely dead. How could you possibly meet a living person on that rotten island?"
"Well...they were lucky. There were only a few of them, and we took care of them all..."
"How many? If there's one, then there will be two. If there are two, then there will be three. Now I want to see the person alive or the body if he's dead..."
Although Lu Xuan was hiding in a corner, it was quite quiet here and the group seemed to be approaching him, so Lu Xuan could hear the conversation between them clearly.
If he's alive, I want to see him; if he's dead, I want to see his body...
Thinking of the corpses he encountered on the island, Lu Xuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If I'm not mistaken, this group of people is most likely responsible. But who are they? What's their purpose? And judging by their actions, it seems they're not just looking for someone, but something.
"Everyone, take a room each. Search everything thoroughly. Don't leave anything behind. It says above that if you find something, I'll give you a reward! Do you understand?"
Just when Lu Xuan was still wondering what the other party was doing, a leader in the corridor gave the order to search, which made Lu Xuan's heart rise again.
Although the place where I was hiding was very secret, I couldn't resist the high price offered by the other party.
There is a saying that goes, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
As long as the price is right, someone will do it, no matter how dirty, hard, or disgusting it is...
At this moment, Lu Xuan's heart was in his throat, but he had no way to retreat. He could only hope that the person who inspected his room was a timid and careless guy.
It feels terrible to rely on others for your survival.
Lu Xuan is in such a situation now...
As the sounds of rummaging through drawers and cabinets came from outside the door, Lu Xuan's hands holding the machete were already soaked. He was even ready for a fight. If he was really discovered, he would have no choice but to give it a try and strike first.
Although the result was predictable, even if he was extremely lucky and could deal with the few people here, what about those people outside, especially the bodyguard with a pistol.
Lu Xuan knew very well that it was simply a fantasy for him to kill everyone on the yacht and escape.
"Boss, we found nothing in the previous rooms, and we didn't see any bodies either."
“I don’t have this room either…”
“I don’t have any…”
…
"Okay, then keep searching the last three houses. I don't believe it! Could it have grown wings and flown away?"
Ten minutes later, after the group had searched room after room, the footsteps were getting closer and closer to where Lu Xuan was.
Lu Xuan was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe. He just held the machete in his hand and stared at the door...
"You, search this room, your that room, and you, the last room, search them all!"
