Chapter 2 (Part I) The Black Bottle in the Apple

Qi Jiamei leaned on the car and looked at the ironclad ship, and did not feel that anything was wrong, nor did she feel any danger, but this qiē was too smooth. In less than a day since I entered this free port, I have seen many people die because of the transaction, it seems that only Howard's transaction is so smooth, and it is definitely profitable, six barrels of gasoline and a good car, plus a delicious turkey and fine wine, this qiē is like a dream.

At this time, Howard opened the lid of the oil drum, sniffed it, and put it in with his own test stick to test it, and then said in surprise: "Wow! Good gasoline, refined kinds, are already rare, these bastards must have found an oil refinery somewhere, opened the oil depot there, this captain must be a big rich man! ”

After speaking, Howard proudly wanted to take out a cigarette to celebrate, but Qi Jiamei snatched the lighter away and scolded: "Are you crazy about smoking next to gasoline?" ”

Howard almost slapped himself and apologized repeatedly: "I got carried away with joy, I'm sorry." ”

Qi Jiamei threw back the lighter, Howard quickly put it away, stood there and touched his rumbling stomach and waited, it didn't take long for him to smell the smell of roast turkey, and his saliva suddenly flowed, and he almost didn't run directly to the port of the boat.

"It's been seven years, no, eight years, I haven't eaten a roast turkey in eight years, let alone rum, and today is simply my lucky day! I'm going to write it in my diary! Howard said with a drool, but Qi Jiamei was unusually calm, and continued to be vigilant around, always feeling that this matter was surprisingly smooth.

Soon. Captain X was carrying a bamboo basket in which a roast turkey was wrapped in tin foil, and there were a lot of fruits around him, although they didn't look very fresh, but they were already very precious, and now the value of these fruits alone was already very high, not to mention the bottle of rum he was carrying with the label of a famous Cuban liquor manufacturer.

Howard greeted him as if he had lost his soul, his eyes moving back and forth between the bamboo basket and the rum, completely unaware that he looked like a beggar.

Qi Jiamei stood in the rear and was still vigilant, but Captain X disembarked alone. Everyone else went back inside the cabin as well. Qi Jiamei was not worried that they would use heavy firepower, and she would not shoot, after all, she was standing next to the small truck full of gasoline barrels, even if there was even the slightest spark. The gasoline is all gone. This Captain X if he wants to swallow Howard's stuff. I'd definitely like to get the gasoline back, too.

"Good roast turkey, and rum!" Captain X handed it directly to Howard, who took it and held it in his arms. Would love to give the captain a hug.

Howard was moved: "Captain, you are the first good person I have ever met since the outbreak of all-out war, you will definitely get rich, you will definitely make a fortune!" ”

"A lot of people say that." Captain X smiled, "But I just want to build a long-term relationship and make a fortune together, and that's the secret of my business." ”

Howard nodded repeatedly: "Of course!" I'm British, I'm very good at it in the UK, if you come to the UK, be sure to let me know, and I'll help you get what you want. ”

Howard then brags about it again, while constantly complimenting Captain X, who is very helpful and keeps smiling.

"Okay, it's time for us to go back, it's getting dark, I'm worried about something, you know, with these priceless things, someone will make up their minds." Howard said goodbye to the captain.

The captain nodded and waved at them, Howard and Qi Jiamei put their things in the car, Howard motioned for Qi Jiamei to drive, and he sat in the back seat and waved to the captain outside the car.

Qi Jiamei started the car and left, waiting for the car to run away, and when Howard could no longer see the captain and the ironclad ship in the dark, he couldn't wait to tear the tin foil of the bamboo basket, smell the roast turkey greedily, and then carefully tore off a piece of crispy turkey skin, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, making a satisfactory sound.

Subsequently, Howard cut off a large piece of chicken with a dagger and stuffed it into Qi Jiamei's mouth, Qi Jiamei chewed slowly, watching Howard gnaw on the turkey leg from the rearview mirror, in fact, Qi Jiamei didn't like to eat turkey, because she felt that the turkey was full of dead meat, and the first time she ate it, she felt like she was chewing wax, which was not as delicious as ordinary chicken.

Howard ate and drank along the way, but he ate slowly, leaving most of the wine and meat to return to the hotel to enjoy it slowly, of course, he also wanted to show off, but when he thought of the unstable order of this free port, he simply wrapped everything in his backpack.

When he returned to the hotel, when he got out of the car, although Howard hid the wine and meat well, the aroma had already attracted the people around him, smelling beside him, Howard subconsciously pulled out his pistol and deliberately shook the gun hanging on his backpack, these two things made those who originally planned to open his backpack to see what was going on.

"I'm guarding the goods, you go and enjoy it." Qi Jiamei said to Howard, "Don't worry, I won't fall asleep, I will hold on for twenty-four hours, this little time is trivial for me, go ahead." ”

Howard nodded gratefully, indeed, he wanted to enjoy it, even if it was to make him vomit and diarrhea tomorrow, he would have to do it, because it was his most enjoyable day in seven years, and he didn't want to ruin this very beautiful holiday.

Howard left, Qi Jiamei sat in the truck, sorted out her equipment, and then put a few explosive bags directly into the oil drums, deliberately letting the people around her see, the meaning was very clear: if anyone wants to hit the idea of these gasoline, then wait for the same death.

Qi Jiamei's almost crazy behavior made many people who were still planning to rob gasoline dispel their thoughts and scold and walk away, while Qi Jiamei was also much more relaxed, sitting in the back seat and napping, from time to time to glance at the location of the cargo box facing the rearview mirror, even if there were explosives placed there to deter them, it was not excluded that there were those who dared to open the lid and steal a little.

Howard in the upstairs room, after closing the door and hanging up all the locks, slowly took off his clothes, looking at the backpack he put on the table, it was like looking at a sexy beauty in clothes, all he had to do now was to take off that beauty's clothes and eat her!

Howard opened his backpack and carefully took out the roast turkey wrapped in tin foil from it, as well as those fruits, and bit down on the apple, but when he bit down, he bit something, and there was a stinging pain in his mouth, as if something was flowing out, and he subconsciously touched it and found that his palms were full of blood.

Howard looked down at the apple and saw a cracked bottle inside, and he immediately rushed to the toilet and looked in the mirror at his mouth, which had been cut by the fragments of the bottle.

Howard yelled and scolded, rushed out, and saw that there was a black thing flowing from the bottle, and there was something that looked like some kind of bug, he originally wanted to rush out and take Qi Jiamei to Captain X for questioning, but after thinking about it, he decided to look at the other fruits first, and then he opened the other fruits, and found that there was a bottle like that hidden in each fruit, but there was no one in the turkey and rum, and it was normal.

"What the fuck is this?" Howard opened the rum and took a breath, the alcohol inlet stimulated the wound in his mouth, although it hurt terribly, but it made Howard sober up a lot, in order not to waste it, he ignored the wound, continued to chew the chicken, looked at the kind of bottle in the fruit, and then turned on the walkie-talkie and beckoned Qi Jiamei to come up.

Qi Jiamei looked through the window of the car, pinched the walkie-talkie and said, "If I go up, the gasoline below will not be saved." ”

"Something is wrong, no, it's a big deal, I'm hurt, there's something in the apple, I don't know if it's poison, although I don't feel anything wrong except for the pain now." Howard took the walkie-talkie and said, "Didn't you say there was research on drugs and stuff like that?" You come up and have a look. ”

When Qi Jiamei heard it, she knew that something was wrong, so she didn't care about anything, she immediately jumped out of the car and rushed to the door of the room where Howard was, after Howard opened the door, Qi Jiamei closed the door, sat down, and then sniffed the smell in his mouth, because it was mixed with the smell of wine and roast chicken, she couldn't smell it, turned around and sniffed the bitten bottle, and smelled a strong smell of engine oil.

Qi Jiamei checked the other things one by one, then picked up an intact bottle, looked at the black liquid that seemed to have life in it, shook her head and said: "I'm not sure what this thing is, it doesn't seem to be a poison, if it is, my nose can definitely smell it, like an oil, I don't know what it is, but I think it's dangerous, it's better to stay away......"

When Qi Jiamei said this, she heard the sound of Howard falling to the ground, she turned to see that Howard had already covered his mouth and fell to the ground, his legs were desperately kicking there, and a stream of black spread out of his mouth, spreading to the skin of his mouth, followed by his cheeks, and then his entire head turned black, and then the black began to spread towards his feet, very quickly, and finally Howard's whole body was like being smeared with a layer of asphalt.

At this time, Howard was convulsing, like an electric shock on the ground, Qi Jiamei knew that he was hopeless, but she also wanted to figure out what this thing was, and immediately grabbed a complete bottle in her hand, and when she leaned over to check Howard again, bubbles began to bulge all over Howard's skin, and these bubbles became bigger and bigger, first translucent, then pink, and then crimson.

Qi Jiamei realized that it was not good, turned around and ran to the window, and broke out directly, and when she fell on top of the truck below, there was an explosion in Howard's room, and the flames of the explosion rushed out of the window, and many debris that was still burning fell directly on the truck, frightening the few people who were about to steal oil and fled.

"Run! Come on! Qi Jiamei shouted to the people around her while running in the direction of the ironclad ship, the instinct of survival made her not stop, and ran towards the outside of the free port, her subconscious told herself that if she stayed there, there was only a dead end.
