Chapter 24: Is there a way Fork can resist the urge to eat...
Du Yanze had already memorized the structure of the cruise ship before it arrived. There were eight floors, one whole floor from the bow, the middle of the ship, the stern, and even the cabins, with hundreds of rooms on one floor.
The eighth floor is occupied by guests attending the dinner party, and they are basically arranged in locations with better views. In the video sent by Deng Shan, since she can see changes in light, we can roughly rule out an inner cabin.
Du Yanze thought quickly. Since Han Huai had set him up, he might be able to lead him to the right place, but he couldn't take risks with Deng Shan.
I’m afraid that even if I cooperate with them, Deng Shan won’t be safe and can’t be completely led by them.
They were the first group to move in. There was no one on the entire eighth floor yet, and the corridor was quiet. Du Yanze walked around for less than half a circle before he saw the blue beads on the ground again, in front of a suite.
Knock knock knock…
Du Yanze knocked on the door calmly with one hand three times, neither hurried nor slow, but there was no movement from inside for a long time.
"who?"
It was Deng Shan's voice, but Du Yanze didn't rush to answer. He whispered, "Room service."
There was silence for a while, and Du Yanze confirmed that there should be someone else inside besides Deng Shan.
“No… no need.”
Du Yanze listened but did not leave, and continued to knock on the door quietly. There was silence inside for a while, and soon there were faint footsteps. Du Yanze was equipped with a gun, but it was too noisy here, so he couldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
The other party is the same, at least now they will take this into consideration.
The moment the door suddenly opened, Du Yanze held the door without hesitation, kicked the intruder down, and slashed the person who rushed to attack from behind with a knife.
Deng Shan was tied up on the ground with her hands behind her back. She shouted to Du Yanze, "There are three people!"
Du Yanze took the time to nod at her approvingly. These two people were not difficult to deal with, or it could be said that very few people were difficult to deal with in front of him. One of them had hit her too hard and had already fallen to the ground.
Deng Shan shouted to the third man, and the other man quickly came out of hiding. It turned out that these three men also did not have guns and only fought in close combat.
Du Yanze took the time to throw the knife to Deng Shan. Deng Shan quickly moved and clenched the knife with her backhand, but it was obviously not as simple as shown in the TV series. Du Yanze had already cut off both arms of one of them, but she still hadn't sharpened it open.
“Fuck! I can’t open it…”
Deng Shan had been holding back for the past few days, but now she couldn't hold back any longer. She was grinding the rope while crying. Through her tearful eyes, she saw Du Yanze's body covered in blood, and the three people guarding her were already lying on the ground.
"Stop crying. I don't expect you to be able to untie it by yourself." Du Yanze picked her up from the ground with one hand, slid her to sit on a chair, squatted down and untied the rope on her feet first.
"I'm not afraid that you'll be bored, so I'm trying to find you something to do."
Deng Shan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Du Yanze's tone made her less scared. Instead, she felt like she was just here for fun. She looked at Du Yanze with wide eyes, wiping her tears and speaking with a sob.
"Wuwuwu, boss, from now on I will work for you until I die...wuwuwu"
Du Yanze's eyebrows jumped. Deng Shan was really careless sometimes. Shouldn't he be wondering why he appeared here?
"Ah, boss...that Han Huai...he he he...he's not the second male lead, he's the villain..." Du Yanze asked her to stay aside and quickly deal with the situation.
"I know, I know. Okay, now you only need to remember one thing." Du Yanze leaned against the wall and looked down. Most of the tourists on the cruise ship had boarded, and the sounds of talking and laughing not far away were getting closer and closer.
Deng Shan's face was covered with snot and tears. Du Yanze took out two pieces of paper and gave them to her and continued to instruct her.
"No matter what happens, your first priority is to survive. Don't help anyone, just protect yourself."
"You won't help either?"
Deng Shan calmed down after wiping it, and looked at Du Yanze and asked. After asking, she glanced at the person whose life or death was unknown. Well, she just didn't make trouble.
"Follow me closely, someone will meet you outside later."
The step of receiving Deng Shan was incredibly smooth. But Du Yanze knew in his heart that their target was not Deng Shan but him.
Du Yanze took her outside and informed Chen Shuang to be ready to meet them outside. They had to move faster, as the cruise ship would probably leave soon.
By then, the trouble will be huge and Chen Shuang won’t be able to do anything about it.
As soon as they walked out of the security door on the eighth floor, Du Yanze heard faint footsteps. He was not sure whether they were catching up, so he took Deng Shan and ran directly to the sixth floor.
Outside the sixth-floor window is where the lifeboat is tied, so there is a way to retreat in case of emergency.
Sure enough, as soon as they reached the seventh floor, Du Yanze heard movement in the stairwells above and below. He decisively pushed open the emergency door and pulled Deng Shan to the seventh floor first.
"They all went to the sixth or seventh floor. Get out of there as soon as possible." Oliver quickly repeated what he saw.
The people living on the sixth and seventh floors were not their "distinguished guests", so they would definitely search them without any scruples. Moreover, there were many of them, and there were not many rooms with access to the life raft.
Fortunately, some of Chen Shuang's men had mixed in with the waiters and hid the room cards in advance. As soon as Du Yanze and Deng Shan entered the room, people dressed as waiters with "F" marks on their hands caught up with them.
If Du Yanze could open this room, then they could too. Deng Shan reacted quickly and immediately lifted up the heavy objects she could to block the door. Du Yanze walked directly to the window and opened it.
Deng Shan suppressed her excitement and followed immediately. She was almost scared to death the next second. There was a life raft outside the sixth floor, but no one told her that it was hollow in the middle. There was no balcony, only the pillars of the awning.
"Shit, I think we can think of another way."
As soon as Deng Shan finished speaking, there was a sound of the door lock being unlocked. Without Du Yanze's persuasion, Deng Shan felt that she was okay again.
Du Yanze realized that time was running out, so he immediately leaned over and hugged the pillar, hanging in the air outside the cruise ship, and reached out to press the emergency knob of the life raft.
But it was too late. Before the life raft was unscrewed, banging sounds were heard outside the door.
“Go up!”
Du Yanze turned over, turned around, lifted Deng Shan up, and hid himself behind the life raft.
"You know how to read. Turn on the emergency knob. Don't go up there. Just hide here."
Du Yanze moved quickly and put the life jacket on Deng Shan in no time.
"Then...what about you?"
"I'll go hold them back, right now." Du Yanze's hair was disheveled, and there was blood on his cuffs and shirt corners, but he remained calm no matter what situation he encountered. He was completely different from the boss she knew.
This was also the first time he spoke to her in a commanding tone, but inexplicably, she chose to believe him, even though Du Yanze told her not to get on the life raft that represented hope.
Bang! After a loud noise, the door opened.
Du Yanze casually took off his suit jacket, and the butterfly knife hidden in his sleeve slid out. Du Yanze's face remained calm, and his black eyes just swept across the logos on the back of their hands without any ripples.
The slender fingers fluttered, and the butterfly knife was delicate and flexible, and even faster in his hand, like a butterfly flashing with silver light, but they could only see a flash of cold light, and often saw their own blood gushing out before they could react.
More and more people came, and Du Yanze was also injured, but good news from Chen Shuang had just come through his headset.
They have sent a rescue boat closer.
At this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded throughout the cruise ship, and the few Forks that were still standing in front of them quickly collapsed one after another.
"Boss! They are here to rescue us!!"
Deng Shan, who was hugging the pillar, shouted out with joy, but Du Yanze felt that this trick was becoming more and more familiar.
But there were indeed several lifeboats in the sea outside the ship, with the words SDD spray-painted on them.
"Reinforcements?" Oliver also realized that something was wrong. It seemed as if the entire tenth floor and above were completely unaware of what was going on below. They were holding auctions and banquets as needed.
When the alarm sounded, they just talked to each other secretly for a while and then remained calm.
Chen Shuang and the others approached the cruise ship, and the cruise ship staff cooperated throughout the process and arranged for evacuation one by one. Deng Shan was ready to jump into the sea, but this time she was lifted up high and gently put down.
Deng Shan wrapped herself in a blanket, stood on the deck and looked up. Through the half-open window she could hear the sound of violin and laughter, as if they were completely divided into two worlds.
"it's all over?"
She looked at Du Yanze, whose fingers were still dripping with blood. He stood aside with a calm expression, his black suit half draped over his body, watching them walk out.
Du Yanze just patted her head. "Don't think too much. Let Yang Zhao take you back, she will tell you everything."
"You..." Deng Shan realized something and looked at him hesitantly.
The wind was very strong on the deck and the lights were dim at night. Some of the people passing by were still wearing the badge and followed the evacuation to board the ship with an uneasy and confused look on their faces, completely unaware of what they were passing by.
"Go ahead." Du Yanze didn't say much, but just asked her to leave first with Chen Shuang who had come over.
"Mr. Du...we have all been ordered to evacuate..."
"Sir, has our superiors sent an evacuation order?" Oliver walked quickly over from behind.
Du Yanze took a step back, his heart surprisingly calm at this moment, and turned to look at the SDD logo outside the lifeboat.
"Sir?"
The sixth and seventh floors were filled with "commodities" wearing hand tags, and it was impossible for everyone to be Cake, so at the time Du Yanze believed that it was a deliberate trick by Han Huai, but now it seems that maybe there was a tree hidden in the forest.
Are these all the “goods”?
SDD arrived even faster than Chen Shuang and the others. Previously, he thought that someone in SDD was colluding with FA. After what happened today, he finally understood that their secret cooperative relationship was exposed to him.
If you accept, then retreat and continue to be a Hunter of SDD. If you don't accept, then act on your own and die at the hands of FA.
"What do you think he will choose?"
Han Huai sat next to Tang Zhilu, shook the wine glass in his hand, took a sip and asked Tang Zhilu.
There was a whole screen clearly in front of them, as if every move and life-and-death struggle of the people below were just a wonderful movie.
Han Huai drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, then raised his hand to indicate that he had finished. Tang Zhilu casually raised his glass and took a sip.
"When he was ten years old, SDD found him, funded him and trained him to join SDD." Han Huai explained to Tang Zhilu with great interest.
"He thought he was betrayed by his father, so he chose to join the SDD and oppose the FA, but now..."
“I’ve been betrayed by SDD again.
"Everything has a shadow when the sun shines, and he just doesn't understand."
Tang Zhilu pinched his knuckles and looked at Du Yanze on the screen. He took a step back, his shadow moving with his footsteps, and the expression on his face disappeared in the darkness.
They all went up to persuade him, but he didn't say much. He just shook his head slightly. Finally, he reached out and took out a badge, threw it to Oliver, and turned away.
"It seems he made the most stupid choice."
Han Huai stood up, shrugged, and casually patted Tang Zhilu's shoulder.
Tang Zhilu sat in his seat without moving. A man stood behind him, holding a gun firmly against the back of his head. He calmly watched Han Huai take out an injection from the table.
"Miracle?" His tone remained steady.
"Father admires you very much and has always hoped to work with you. Please don't misunderstand me, I have been looking forward to your joining me."
As Han Huai spoke, he flicked his fingers, slowly expelling the air and neatly pushing all the medicine into Tang Zhilu's body.
“It’s just a small way to strengthen our collaborative friendship.”
Tang Zhilu clearly felt his heart beating suddenly faster. He couldn't help but frown and look at Han Huai. Soon, an unprecedented hunger burned from his heart to his brain.
The sweat on his forehead dripped onto the back of his hand, and he suddenly regained a bit of rationality.
"He should be here soon, Mr. Tang, please wait a moment."
Tang Zhilu stood up shakily, and the man holding the gun behind him immediately reached out to grab him vigilantly, but unexpectedly Tang Zhilu splashed red wine on his face and clamped his wrist with an insanely strong force.
The gun slipped out of his hand, but was immediately caught by Tang Zhilu's other hand.
The next second he aimed directly at Han Huai who had been standing aside and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang—a small sound was heard.
There were no bullets in the gun.
"I said, Mr. Tang is our friend." Han Huai smiled for a while, then looked at Tang Zhilu, who was holding the handrail with one hand and panting.
"Actually, I'm also curious whether there is a Fork who can resist eating Cake."
