Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Plan

*

In fact, when Gu Mengran saw Zhou Jing holding steel pipes, folding knives and other offensive weapons, he realized that a fierce battle was inevitable today. However, he did not expect that the high-risk plan at the beginning was quite meticulous, but it turned out to be so simple and crude later.

After all, there were only a dozen or twenty of them, and they had no chance of winning in a head-on fight, so they decided to defeat them one by one.

How to defeat them one by one? After going out, sneak back to the guest room area, open the doors one by one, and cooperate with the villagers inside to subdue the crew and release your own people, thereby weakening the enemy's combat power and increasing your own combat power.

The twenty of them were just a starting point. Whether they could finally seize control of the cruise ship from Dong Hongbo depended on whether the villagers could unite.

There was no opportunity to communicate with the villagers on shore. Most of the villagers knew nothing about the situation and were even immersed in the joy of "moving". In this situation, living together with the crew members, their current situation is quite dangerous.

Thinking of this, Xiao Dong was furious. He glared at Zhou Zhiqi and said angrily, "You have a pretty good plan. If you don't have enough manpower, you can brainwash the villagers and trick them onto the boat. Then they will serve as your helpers, right?"

"You've figured it out, Xiaodong." Zhou Zhiqi rubbed his brow helplessly, "We have to get on the boat today, whether we want to or not. They have plenty of ways and means, I just chose a gentler way."

Xiao Dong sneered, "Gentle? But what about their safety? The beasts on your boat are so cruel, and you let the villagers stay with them defenselessly. Do you have a clear conscience?"

"Without destruction, there is no construction." Zhou Zhiqi looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and a silent sigh escaped from his lips. "This is a cruel world, where the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive."

Xiaodong: "What is this? Give me——"

"Okay, Xiaodong, let's stop wasting time and go." Zhou Jing interrupted the argument between the two, walked to the window first, and got out in a cat-like manner.

Gu Mengran quickly followed, and Xiaodong had no choice but to give up and follow the two of them. But after taking a few steps, he turned back and looked at Zhou Zhiqi, "You're not going? You're just going to stay here?"

"Some people haven't arrived yet, waiting for support. You go first and be careful." Zhou Zhiqi said slowly.

Xiaodong: "Where are the others? Didn't you just say there were more than ten?"

"Out, the action has begun."

Xiaodong turned around and left, not noticing Zhou Zhiqi's complicated look at all.

Unlike Zhou Jing's room, this suite has a story. It has windows and a balcony. Climbing over the railing on the left side of the balcony is the second-floor open-air deck, which is also the exit of the cage.

The drizzle continued to fall. The three of them braved the rain and the risk of falling into the water. They carefully climbed over the guardrail and walked along the outer open deck.

It seemed like he had been here countless times before. Zhou Jing was very familiar with this area. After walking forward about thirty or forty meters, he stopped in front of a white cabin door that was almost integrated with the hull. He took out the key from his pocket and opened the cabin door skillfully.

After opening the door, they saw a small storage room. It was obvious that someone had been here before them, as the footprints on the floor were not yet dry. There was another door opposite the door, which was obviously the door leading to the passenger cabin.

After entering the room and closing the door, Zhou Jing quickly walked to a shelf, rummaged through a pile of miscellaneous cleaning supplies, and took out a large pair of pliers.

Zhou Jing handed the pliers to Xiaodong, and led the two to another door. He turned around and said, "The restaurant is outside here, and we are responsible for the right half. There may be people patrolling outside, and if you see them, just take action directly. Anyway, you have to take responsibility--"

Zhou Jing paused in the middle of his speech, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Mengran, "You go to the back and act according to the situation. Our people are also inside, don't hurt our own people by mistake."

"Okay." Gu Mengran nodded obediently.

He had been prepared and had waited for this day for a long time, but when he reached out and grabbed the door handle, Zhou Jing still panicked for a moment.

Success or failure depends on this one move. If they fail to seize the cruise ship, they will all die here today.

I can die if I want, but the villagers...

“There is no way out.”

Someone patted his shoulder gently. Zhou Jing turned around and saw Gu Mengran with an unusually determined look in his eyes.

There is no way back. If you have grievances, you must complain. If you have vengeances, you must take revenge!

With a "click", the cabin door opened.

As expected, the utility room was not locked, and the three people who had just crawled out of the guest room area walked back openly.

There was no one, no sound, the exquisite dining table was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there was a dead silence all around. Gu Mengran and Zhou Jing opened their folding knives at the same time, while Xiaodong raised the tiger pliers to his chest and looked around vigilantly.

The restaurant was not far from the guest room area. It took only three minutes for the three of them to reach the corridor and stop in front of a locked door.

Without rushing to unlock the door, Zhou Jing stretched his neck and moved closer, his eyes fixed on the remaining rubber print of the torn house number, as if he was carefully confirming something.

In less than thirty seconds, Zhou Jing raised his lips slightly, smiled confidently, turned his head and stretched out his hand to Xiaodong, "Here, give me the tiger clamps--"

"careful!"

The padlocked door opened without warning, and before the people inside could even see clearly, a sharp saw-toothed sickle was instantly placed on Zhou Jing's neck.

The cold blade pressed against his throat, and Zhou Jing's throat moved unconsciously. He couldn't even see whose hand was stretched out from behind him, and he held his breath and dared not move.

The sudden change frightened Gu Mengran and Xiaodong. They raised their weapons and were about to fight back, but the next moment, a man holding a sickle slowly poked his head out from behind Zhou Jing. In the dim light, a familiar face came into view.

"Uncle Liu?"

Xiaodong screamed in surprise, and the tiger clamp suddenly stopped in mid-air. The man whose name was called was stunned at first, and his eyes glanced back and forth, with a flash of confusion in his eyes, "Xiaodong, Xiao Gu?"

The two people in front are our own people, so who is the one in your hand?

Uncle Liu woke up as if from a dream. He quickly drew back the sickle and walked around to take a look at Zhou Jing.

The moment he saw Zhou Jing, Uncle Liu's face darkened and he almost put the sickle back. However, before he could give him the chance, Xiaodong, who was in a daze, came to his senses and pointed at the hinge that had completely fallen off the door and asked, "What happened, Uncle Liu? Isn't this door locked? How could you be so strong? You pulled the hinge off with one tug?"

"Oh, this one." Uncle Liu turned around and demonstrated it to him. He reached out and pulled the door over to half-close it, then inserted the screws on the hinges back into the screw holes on the door panel, pretending that the door was not open.

"We unscrewed the screws beforehand, and then just put them back in. If you don't pay attention, they won't come out."

The hinge is a bit like an anti-theft chain. Although you can lock the door from the outside by hanging the padlock, there is always a small gap in the middle, so it is not a problem to put a hand out.

Xiaodong obviously hadn't thought of this yet. Just as he was about to ask more questions, Gu Mengran glanced at the sickle in Uncle Liu's hand and spoke before him: "Uncle Liu, what's going on? Why did you suddenly open the door and hold the sickle?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two doors opened next to him. The ladies who had been arguing with Xiaodong and were about to leave the village came out trembling, holding kitchen knives and machetes in their hands...

A group of people looked at each other, their eyes wide open, with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

It was not time for casual chatting, so the two parties met and stood in the corridor for a brief exchange. Gu Mengran was able to understand the current situation.

It turned out that Xiaodong was not just talking casually at the time. Sister Fang was seriously planning to bring the villagers to fight them.

Probably guessing that she had to board the ship and that the trip was likely to be dangerous, Sister Fang consulted with the villagers at night and boarded the ship in a way that seemed to cause an internal conflict, thus letting the other side down.

They succeeded. Countless supplies were delivered to the ship. The other side accepted their surrender. As for the personal belongings carried by some villagers, the crew chose to turn a blind eye.

Because of this, the tools, utensils and farm implements hidden in the clothing packages were successfully brought on board and became their weapons of resistance.

As he was talking, Uncle Liu sighed, "Xiaofang said that group of people would definitely not treat us well, and they might lock us up after we get on the boat. I thought they would lock us up together, and then we could just take out knives and fight them! Who knew they would lock us up separately."

"That's right." Miss Wu took over the conversation: "Everyone who went the same way has separated. Fortunately, Sister Wang and I shared a room, otherwise I really couldn't handle two people by myself."

Ms. Wang smiled and said, "We have to thank Lao Liu too. If he hadn't heard the noise and helped us unlock the door, we would probably still be locked up inside now."

The lady said it calmly, but Xiaodong was frightened and couldn't help asking, "The people in the room...did you fight with them?"

"Of course I did. Xiaofang said that being kind to the enemy is being kind to yourself...what was it? Oh, never mind. They are not good people anyway. They deserve it!" Miss Wu said angrily.

The uncle and aunt looked normal, and there was no blood on the "weapons" in their hands. Xiaodong felt relieved but not completely reassured. He pushed open the door of Uncle Liu's room and saw a man tied up and curled up on the ground with a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth. He looked like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

The situation in the two rooms next door was almost the same. They took action but did not kill him.

It's hard to describe the feeling. I shouldn't be soft-hearted at this moment. I should kill him directly to prevent future troubles. But Xiaodong couldn't even kill him himself, so how could he ask others to do so?

Most people were still in the room, not daring to delay too much time. After learning about Zhou Jing and his team's plan, several uncles and aunts joined in without hesitation and officially started the rescue plan.

However, although the plan seems simple, it is still quite complicated to implement.

Looking at the crowded rooms in front of her, Miss Wu's heart dropped back into her stomach and she sighed helplessly, "I don't know where the others are. I have to search room by room."

After saying this, Zhou Jing, who had been trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, smiled confidently and said with a bit of pride: "Don't worry, we have marked the doors of rooms with less than four people in advance where villagers may be arranged to live. Pay attention to the location with the glue mark. The one with a small triangle symbol is the room we are looking for."

"Awesome, you actually have this trick up your sleeve!" Gu Mengran gave a thumbs up.

The uncles and aunts didn't say anything, but their expressions were visibly relaxed.

Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing. Zhou Jing walked past the crowd and came to the front, waving his hand, "Move!"

On that rainy afternoon, the cruise ship moored at the entrance of the village was in complete chaos.

Guest rooms were opened one by one, and more and more villagers gathered, officially sounding the clarion call for counterattack.

There are ways to deal with compromise and violence, and Dong Hongbo definitely has more than one method. Unfortunately, he was too arrogant and underestimated the unity of Shijin Village. He wanted to take over the village with just a flick of his finger, and he would always pay a heavier price for it.
