"You...you dare!" the woman said, her voice sharp but her voice weak.
"Someone, throw her and her grandson down there."
With two ships together, there are at least 400 or 500 people. If they don't shock everyone at once, there will be endless trouble. Guo Qi will not be soft-hearted at the crucial moment.
Several burly men immediately came over. Although there seemed to be a lot of supplies on the ship, there wasn't much for each person, and no one wanted to feed hundreds more people.
The woman immediately cowered, "No, no, no, don't throw us down! We don't want it anymore, okay? We don't want it anymore!"
Guo Qi snorted and waved his hand, signaling Chen Hao to take the people away. He also arranged for 20 people to keep an eye on the new passengers.
Seeing Guo Qi's domineering attitude, the new passengers abandoned their plans to take advantage and obediently followed Chen Hao.
Only a very few people looked around at the terrain on the ship and made arrangements.
Yang Chengang shook his head. He hadn't wanted anyone to board the ship in the first place. After going through so many ups and downs, he was exhausted, both physically and mentally. It was good enough that he could bring the people on the ship back to China. He really didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Guo Qi insisted, and he couldn't say anything more.
Now we have to divert our energy to supervise 400 or 500 people, which is just creating trouble for ourselves.
He Xiao was also unwilling. Having partnered with Guo Qi for a long time, he knew that Guo Qi was different from them; Guo Qi was a man of great righteousness.
He patted Yang Chengang on the shoulder and said, "Never mind, just be careful."
With several hundred more people, He Xiao felt uneasy and asked Di Fei to arrange a few more sentries before he felt better.
Chen Hao arranged for the new passengers to stay in a few storage rooms on the second-to-last floor, and gave them a warning before leaving.
"Before we arrive at our destination, you are not allowed to move around freely. If we find anyone not following the rules, don't blame us for being ruthless."
Many people died on the ship, leaving many empty spaces. The residents who originally lived on the second basement level moved to the upper level, leaving the second basement level very empty.
Chen Hao ordered someone to guard the passage to the upper level, gave them some instructions, and then left.
As night fell, all was quiet.
The dim light shone into the underground passage on the second basement level, and the wind scattered the light, making people feel uneasy.
It wasn't time for the shift change yet, and the guards were so tired they were practically slumped over.
A head popped out of a storage room, looked around, and gestured inside. The group then moved as quietly as cats, so quietly that not a sound could be heard.
A flash of cold light, and the guard's life was reaped.
Two people remained to guard the entrance to the passageway, while one person went back to the storeroom and knocked on each door, asking in fluent Mandarin:
"Fellow countrymen, they don't treat us like human beings. They have so many supplies, but they haven't even thought of sharing some with us. Are you willing to accept this?"
It was when I was most tired, and my mind wasn't very clear. I looked at the person who asked the question in a daze.
The man then tempted:
"How about we rob them? Aren't you hungry?"
I'm hungry! Of course I'm hungry!
"Would you like some greens?"
Each question swirled in everyone's minds like a spell.
I was thinking about it, how could I not? My stomach started slurping.
"The sweet potatoes should be ripe by now, and we can also pick a lot of green vegetables..."
He licked his lips, looking like he was greedily craving something delicious that was right in front of him and it would be a shame not to eat it.
"Rob them, rob them!"
The speaker was the woman from daytime.
Not only did they not get any food, but they also lost face. They were already in a bad mood, and if someone instigated them, they would definitely follow suit.
"Yes, rob them! If we don't rob them, we won't have anything to eat and we'll starve to death anyway. What do you all think?"
Once the first person echoed, a second followed, and more and more people joined in, stirring up everyone's emotions and making them eager to participate.
A small group of people remained silent, sensing that something was amiss, but dared not speak up.
Seeing that things had progressed sufficiently, the instigator waved his hand:
"Let's go, let's rob them."
The group followed along, and as they passed the passage leading to the upper level, they discovered several people dead in a corner and realized something was wrong.
But now that things have come to this, the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released.
