When Ye Shuning was about to get off the boat, she used a lighter to light a rope soaked in gasoline. The rope burned quickly and soon became a fire snake. The fire spread to the boat and the place where the gasoline was poured was quickly ignited.
With the help of gasoline, the ship quickly caught fire, and many parts of the cabin and deck were ignited by the fire.
The two people in the cockpit were also terrified and shouted, "It's on fire, put it out!"
But the few people sleeping in the cabin were unable to wake up, and no one came out to put out the fire.
Seeing the fire growing bigger and bigger, and the hatch almost engulfed in flames, several people did not dare to go in to save people or the cargo in the cabin. In order to survive, they had no choice but to jump into the sea.
Finally, everyone in the cabin woke up, ran out one by one, and jumped into the sea in panic.
At this time, Ye Shuning had already entered the sea and swam a long distance, so even if the boat sank, she would not be hurt.
Ye Shuning had previously found an inflatable fishing boat in the dormitory of a colleague who loved fishing. She took out the already inflated fishing boat and two oars, and rowed towards the land where there were lights.
Ye Shuning looked back at the boat in the distance that was engulfed in flames, gritted her teeth, turned around and continued rowing hard.
When Ye Shuning rowed a long way and looked back, the boat had almost sunk into the sea. She took out a telescope and looked around. The boat was burned to pieces by the fire, and there was nothing left.
Ye Shuning saw several people who had jumped into the sea floating on the surface, some of them still holding onto floating objects. She no longer cared whether these people could survive or not, as they were not good people anyway.
Ye Shuning checked the time and saw it was already past three in the morning. She had to row ashore quickly. After all, she was an outsider and would definitely attract attention during the day. It would be best if she could get ashore before daybreak.
Ye Shuning paddled towards the shore with all her strength. She did not choose to dock at the port, but chose to dock at a beach not far from the port.
It was almost dawn when Ye Shuning reached the shore. She observed that there was no one around, so she put away her fishing boat and waded ashore.
Her clothes, already changed, were wet again, so she went back into the research facility and changed again. She then packed a large backpack, stowing two sets of clothes and some food. She could take anything else she needed from the space under the cover of the backpack.
She went to the bedroom and saw Li Jingyu still sleeping, so she woke him up.
Li Jingyu woke up in a daze. He saw that it was Aunt Xiao Ning. He looked around and saw that it was a beautiful room. He was still sleeping in the bed and was surprised. "Aunt Xiao Ning, where are we?"
Ye Shuning comforted the child and said, "Jingyu, be good. We have escaped those bad guys and are now in a kind-hearted person's home. Auntie will change you into new clothes, and then you can eat something."
As she spoke, Ye Shuning changed Li Jingyu into a better set of clothes, gave the child some hot water, and then gave him some bread and a bag of milk.
Ye Shuning was also hungry and ate something.
Daybreak was about to arrive, and Ye Shuning could no longer stay in the institute. But she also didn't want to take Li Jingyu out. The situation was unclear, and she couldn't take the risk of taking Li Jingyu. It would be better for him to stay in his dormitory.
She told Li Jingyu, "Jingyu, Auntie is going to find a way to get home. You just stay in this room and don't go out. Wait for Auntie to come back and pick you up, okay?"
Li Jingyu nodded obediently, "Aunt Xiaoning, go ahead. I will stay in the house and wait for you to come back."
Ye Shuning kissed Li Jingyu and praised him, "Jingyu, you are so good. Auntie has prepared toys and food for you. They are all in the room. You can play with the toys and eat. Wait for Auntie to come back."
After making arrangements for Li Jingyu and Ye Shuning, they left the research institute and went to find their way with an almost empty backpack.
Ye Shuning felt that she had to leave here as soon as possible. She turned her head to look at the port not far away. She walked to a higher place and took out a telescope to observe the situation at the port.
She looked around for a while and found a situation that was very favorable to her. There were some small vendors on the dock selling items to the crew members on the ships, including cigarettes, food, small accessories, etc.
Ye Shuning felt that this was an opportunity she could exploit. If she could find out about the cargo ship going to Nangang and sneak aboard, she could follow the ship to Nangang.
At least there were her compatriots there, and it would be easier for her to survive there. She could forget about returning to the mainland for the time being. Firstly, there was no way to get there, and secondly, the inspections would be very strict. If she went back and was discovered and couldn't explain herself, it would be very troublesome, and it would probably bring trouble to her father.
She could settle down in Nangang first and then find an opportunity to go back.
Ye Shuning quickly dressed herself up and turned herself into a married woman of older age. She carried a backpack and a basket.
There were several kinds of fruits in the basket on her back, and in the basket were the cakes she had made earlier, wrapped in oil paper.
The port terminal here is not very formal and the management is rather chaotic, so many people come to the port to sell things.
Ye Shuning discovered that there were people here who spoke the same language as her, and in addition to the local language, there were also languages of other countries.
Ye Shuning went over to ask around, and she actually found out about the cargo ship arriving at Nangang.
This cargo ship belonged to the Qin family, who owned many cargo ships in Nangang. Ye Shuning decided to sneak onto the Qin family's cargo ship.
Ye Shuning found the Qin family's cargo ship, chatted with the crew in the Nangang dialect, and then tried to sell her things to them.
Ye Shuning's goal was to get on board, so she generously let the crew taste her pastries.
In addition to the pastries she made herself, Ye Shuning also took out the cookies and biscuits she had bought before.
Ye Shuning's pastries were quite novel, and they really attracted a few crew members. Several crew members gathered around Ye Shuning to look at her pastries. After tasting them, some of them actually bought some.
Ye Shuning also took the opportunity to learn some things from the crew.
Qin Zongye, the second young master of the Qin family, who was checking the cargo on the ship, saw his crew gathered around a woman selling something at the dock below the ship and couldn't help but take a second look. Curious about what the woman was selling, he also got off the ship and went to where his crew was gathered.
When the crew saw that it was the boss who came, they all greeted him, "Second Master."
Qin Zongye asked curiously, "What are you buying that's causing all the excitement?"
One of the crew members said, "Oh, this lady sells snacks. We tried them and they tasted great and were relatively cheap, so we wanted to buy some to take back."
When Qin Zongye heard this, he looked into the basket of the woman selling things and found that there were cookies, which was really rare.
