Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Boarding the Ship

*

Dong Hongbo was cautious enough. He moved the supplies to the bottom of the boat and had his own people transport them on board first. He then divided the more than one hundred villagers into groups of ten and had them line up to board the boat one by one.

Most of the villagers had never been on a cruise ship. There was no convenient and fast boarding bridge, and no safety measures. There was only the cruise ship's own narrow and long gangway. Walking on it was like walking on a high-altitude glass plank road, so the speed was naturally slowed down.

It was not until the afternoon that Gu Mengran and the last group of villagers arrived, and the people in front had just finished boarding the boat.

The last twenty or so people who arrived were also divided into two groups. Gu Mengran and Liang Zhao were the last group and boarded the boat with Fang Jie, Xiaodong and others.

The second time he boarded the Ever Leap... The moment his feet stepped onto the gangway, Gu Mengran's hair stood on end. His steps became inexplicably heavy, and every step was like he was heading to the execution ground.

But this time, he was not alone. The warmth of another person's body in his palm was like a silent reminder to Liang Zhao: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Tourists who were not on vacation, after boarding the ship, there were no smiling waiters to greet them, and there was no process of choosing a room. There was only a bossy younger brother who pointed at everyone and made arrangements: "You, the third floor, you two go to the fifth floor, you, the sixth floor..."

I pointed at them one by one and arranged them one by one. It was obvious that I was worried that they would make trouble, so I intentionally divided them into different floors.

There were also two people assigned to the same floor. Gu Mengran still had a glimmer of hope, but the next second, the cold-faced younger brother pointed at him first, then at Liang Zhao: "You, second floor, you go to the fourth floor."

Gu Mengran's lips trembled slightly, but before he could speak, Liang Zhao smiled and said to his younger brother first: "Brother, can my brother and I go to the same floor? He is not in good health and needs someone--"

"Don't bargain with me! Just take whatever's yours, quick!"

The cold-faced younger brother ruthlessly interrupted him, and also shattered the fantasy of others who wanted to change floors.

Liang Zhao wanted to fight for it again, but in the reception hall, his younger brothers, who had been waiting impatiently, rushed forward and pushed everyone towards the staircase.

As he walked up the stairs, Gu Mengran's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.

However, this feeling of uneasiness did not last long. When he reached the main landing of the stairs, someone gently pinched his right hand. Gu Mengran raised his head slightly. In full view of everyone, Liang Zhao mouthed to him, "Don't worry, wait for me."

They reached the second floor. With his right hand completely untied, Liang Zhao let go of his hand, gave him an inconspicuous look, and continued walking upstairs with the main force.

The figure disappeared around the corner, the footsteps gradually faded away, Gu Mengran exhaled a breath of hot air, followed the two younger brothers who led the way and Xiaodong, turned into the safety passage, and came to the corridor on the second floor.

Yes, Xiaodong was lucky enough to be assigned to the second floor.

The second floor is the basic floor. From the signboards on the wall, we can see that there is only a restaurant, a lounge area, and a front desk here, and the rest are guest room areas.

They came in through the security passage and the entrance was the guest room area.

Just like a hotel, there are no windows in the rooms on both sides of the central corridor. Once the door is closed, no one knows who lives inside, and the privacy is very good. The difference is that the smart door that can only be unlocked by swiping a card has an additional set of hinges and locks.

Gu Mengran suddenly understood why Dong Hongbo dared to bring all the villagers on board when the number of people was almost the same.

Ten people boarded the boat in groups and were assigned to different floors, which directly dispersed the villagers. Even if the people who boarded the boat later were assigned to the same floor as the people in front, they did not know which room their companions were in unless they knocked on the doors one by one.

Dong Hongbo certainly wouldn't give them a chance to knock on the door. There were dozens of rooms on one floor, and it was not just the villagers who lived there. Moreover, the hinges and locks were already installed. All they had to do was add a lock, and the comfortable suite would instantly become a prison that only allowed entry but no exit.

Why did they go to so much trouble to take the villagers away? The supplies were already in hand, wouldn't it be easier to just walk away and leave the villagers to fend for themselves? Gu Mengran still couldn't figure it out.

After winding through the maze-like corridor, the younger brother who was leading the way suddenly stopped. Gu Mengran failed to brake in time and almost bumped into the younger brother, so he received a threatening look.

The house number had been torn off, the room door and the surroundings were exactly the same, there were no reference objects around, and Gu Mengran had no idea where he was on the cruise ship.

"drop!"

The young man took out the room card and leaned against the door, then he grasped the door handle and twisted it, and the door opened.

Before Gu Mengran could see the layout of the room clearly, a strange moan came out through the crack of the door.

Hmmmm and ahhh, you know what's going on inside without even looking.

But the guy who opened the door acted as if he didn't hear anything. He just grabbed the door handle and pushed it hard, opening the door wide.

The room is for six people, with bunk beds, and is similar in layout to a student dormitory.

The restricted scene suddenly appeared in the field of vision. In the lower shop on the left side closest to the door, two men were playing a small game as if no one was around, and from time to time they made some unbearable noises.

Why do you act as if no one is around?

Because besides the sudden visitor outside the door, there were two men sitting on their beds in the room, watching the performance with great interest, as if they were used to it.

"Oh my god, you're in a good mood, having sex in broad daylight, right?"

"I'm working like a slave outside, and you're here to be my sweetheart!"

Probably having seen this kind of scene often, the two younger brothers looked calm, just smiled and joked, standing at the door and watching with great interest.

One of them even walked to the bed, stretched out his hand in a frivolous way, and tried to touch it.

The busy man pulled the quilt over and slapped his hand away, "Get lost, stop being a jerk here, go back and play by yourself."

"Tsk, brothers, don't be so stingy. Look at what this is." The wretched man turned around and pointed at Gu Mengran and Xiaodong, smiling meaningfully, "I'll give you two more."

"What are you standing there for? Come in!"

Another younger brother yelled, walked behind them and pushed the two men inside.

Xiaodong is big and Gu Mengran is tall, and the two of them refused to go in. One or two people would definitely not be able to push them in.

Two-on-two has a high chance of winning, but two-on-four, two-on-five...

Forget it, a good man never suffers a loss. Gu Mengran turned his head and exchanged a glance with Xiaodong, and they walked into the house at the same time.

“Bang!”

As soon as I entered the room, the door closed immediately and I could faintly hear the sound of it being locked.

Neither going forward nor retreating, there were two empty beds in the room, and two men were staring at him. The bed frame beside him began to shake again, and an indescribable smell filled the air. Gu Mengran's stomach was churning, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists.

Voluntary or forced?

Gu Mengran suppressed his disgust and glanced to the side. Almost at the same time, the man below turned his head and revealed half of his face.

Just one glance and Gu Mengran was stunned as if struck by lightning.

He had seen this man before, yesterday——

"Zhou, Zhou Jing?"

The one who spoke was Xiaodong. He seemed to be extremely frightened. He stood there stiffly and numbly, staring at the man below with disbelief on his face.

Zhou Jing is Zhou Zhiqi's younger brother and Xiaodong's cousin.

It was ridiculous and funny that we met again after not seeing each other for a year and the scene was like this.

Zhou Jing said nothing and did not give any response.

The dumbfounded Xiaodong was obviously stimulated. As if he had suddenly gone mad, he rushed forward in anger, grabbed the man's arm and pulled hard, "Let go of my brother! You beast, get off me!"

The hysterical roar echoed in the room. The other two men who were watching the show even found it funny and teased him, "Wow, you really know him? Look, he's calling me brother."

"Hahaha! Cousins? Two brothers coming together?"

Those who watch the excitement are not afraid of making trouble, but the person in question was ruined. He got out of bed angrily wrapped in a quilt and punched Xiaodong hard on the shoulder, "Are you looking for death? What's wrong with your brother? I'm going to kill your brother!"

The man was very big and much taller than Xiaodong. Xiaodong staggered backward after being hit with all his strength. It was only thanks to Gu Mengran's timely support that he managed to stabilize his body.

Xiaodong didn't stop there. His face flushed red and he rushed forward with his fist raised.

The man was obviously a martial artist. He didn't dodge the punch, but met it head-on. And he didn't return the punch. In the blink of an eye, Xiaodong was grabbed by the arm and fell to one knee.

"You beast! You bastard! You forced my brother to death! You will die a miserable death!"

Anger clouded his mind. Even though he was completely suppressed, Xiaodong still struggled desperately, roaring and cursing.

"Forced?" The man let go of Xiaodong, and couldn't help laughing as if he had heard a joke. "I like to play, but I always insist on mutual consent. Maybe you can ask your brother, did I force him?"

After saying that, the man considerately made way for Xiaodong to face Zhou Jing directly.

During the argument between the two, Zhou Jing put on his pants but was still shirtless.

It stands to reason that they are all men, and it is normal to be shirtless, but when the man moved away, Zhou Jing immediately crossed his hands in front of his chest, like a virgin, blushing and coquettishly saying: "Oh, you are so annoying, bring the quilt to cover me."

Whether it is voluntary or forced, it seems that there is no need to say more.

Xiaodong was stunned, half-kneeling on the ground and even forgot to stand up.

The man was attracted by the coquettish voice and ignored Xiaodong. He sat back on the bed and spread the quilt to cover Zhou Jing. "Little slut, are you still shy? Come, brother will cover you."

Zhou Jing didn't get upset anymore. He curled up in the man's arms calmly. He lowered his eyes to glance at Xiaodong and asked casually, "Has everyone in the village boarded the boat? Where's my mother?"

The calm tone seemed to be asking what to eat tonight.

No one gave him an answer. Xiaodong was still in shock and half-knelt on the ground, motionless.

He didn't care, but he did care a little bit. Zhou Jing, who didn't get an answer, slowly raised his eyes, then shifted his gaze to Gu Mengran and asked again: "Everyone in the village has come up, right? Is there anyone still down there?"

Gu Mengran shook his head, "No, they are all on board."

"good."

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up instantly, and a brilliant smile spread across his lips.

Happy because his family is safe? It seems normal, but looking at his gradually distorted face, Gu Mengran always felt that something was strange.

Before Gu Mengran could figure it out, Zhou Jing got out from under the quilt, no longer shy. He slowly moved behind the man and massaged his shoulders attentively, "Thank you, brother. Our family is reunited thanks to you."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to thank me, do something practical. Let's go to the deck tonight?"

"I'm so annoyed with you. It's still raining outside." Zhou Jing punched the man on the shoulder lightly, as if he was being coquettish.

The man's ruined interest was rekindled, and he licked his lips with an unsatisfied look, "Why don't we do it now, in front of your brother--"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Zhou Jing, who was massaging the man's shoulders, produced a rope from somewhere, quickly tied it around the man's neck, and pulled back with all his strength.

Being strangled without any warning, even a strong and sturdy martial artist couldn't react. The man's face and neck instantly turned red, and his eyes rolled up uncontrollably, revealing a lot of white in his eyes.

But he was a martial artist after all, and he couldn't kill with one strike. His strong desire to survive pushed the man to struggle fiercely.

He kicked and kicked with his legs, and dug his ten fingers down from his throat, leaving several bloody marks on his neck. In an instant, the man's fingers successfully embedded between the rope and his neck, and he began to try to stand up and distance himself from the rope.

The space for movement was too small, so Zhou Jing held the rope tightly with both hands, kicked the man's back with both feet, and pulled back desperately with his own strength and body power.

One was moving forward and the other backward, trying to seize the advantage, but due to the difference in strength, Zhou Jing fell behind. Just as the man was about to pull Zhou Jing and the rope up from the bed, a foot suddenly stretched out from the front and kicked the man hard in the chest.

“——clang!”

The man's head hit the bed frame, obviously quite hard, and he swayed and fell back onto the bed.

The noise was so loud that the other two people in the room heard it and looked over at the same time.

I thought they were doing it again, but they really did it. The two men screamed "Fuck!" and climbed up from the bed using their hands and feet, obviously to come and help.

We have to deal with one quickly! Taking the opportunity to make up for the loss, Gu Mengran quickly stepped forward, and seeing that the man still had the strength to resist, he punched him twice in the face.

After being strangled by the neck, hit on the back of the head, and received two solid punches, the man was completely exhausted. However, Zhou Jing looked determined and continued to tighten the rope in his hand until the man's eyes rolled back and he had no reaction at all.
