Chapter 223: Dilemma

Leng Yan picked up the phone on the bedside table, pressed the three numbers of 512, and soon heard a faint ringing bell.

"Hello, who?"

"It's me. Do you feel that there is an unpleasant smell in the house that makes people feel a little uncomfortable? ”

Leng Yan subconsciously kept an eye on the preparation and asked the two women in the room next to him.

"No, isn't this just an ordinary scent? I don't feel anything special," Yun Comb Tong took a few breaths hard, but there was no other reaction other than feeling fragrant.

"Really? Maybe I'm thinking too much. It's okay, let's rest first, and I'll ask you to go to the restaurant for dinner later," Leng Yan hung up the phone after speaking, but his frowning brows did not relax in the slightest.

Even if it's an air freshener, isn't it a little too sprayed?

Leng Yan is the kind of person who will not easily dissipate once he has suspicions, he still needs to stay on this ship for a while, he believes that if there is really a problem with this ship, then those people behind the scenes will definitely take the initiative to appear in front of him.

"Young master, there are four newcomers in the first class today, a man and two women, and a little girl who is less than ten years old..."

"Who?" The young man was handsome, with his hair unkempt and a knee-length trench coat, holding a wine glass filled with a dark red liquid.

"According to what we know, these three people have no background, and they should have suddenly made their fortunes after the end of the world."

"No background?" The corners of the young man's mouth hooked, and the red wine glass in his hand shook, and he took a sip on it.

"They are also the only people on the ship who plan to disembark at the port closest to the Yongan base."

"Oh? Yongan base? They didn't choose a closer Wuyuan base? Could it be that the news of the destruction of the Wuyuan base has already spread? A look of confusion flashed in the young man's eyes, and he placed the wine glass in his hand on the table next to him.

"Although the news is very closed now, those of them should have a channel to pass on information privately... Master, what do we do next? The old man looked at the young man with his back to him, and his tone was extremely respectful.

"Let's use the old way, I prefer to be simple and rude. Let them enjoy the night first, and do it tomorrow," the young man turned, a chilling smile on his handsome face.

"Yes."

When the door was closed, only the young man himself was left in the large room.

The room where the young man is located is the place that should really be called the first class, the area of the room is more than three times the size of the room where Leng Yan is, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious, and it is the standard configuration of the local tyrant at a glance.

As the next head of the Xie family, he naturally has to create enough benefits for the Xie family to prove his worth. Originally, he had a marriage contract with He Suomu of the He family, and the He family could have been a huge help to him. But after the outbreak of the end times, He Suomu, the most precious person in the He family, actually lost the news, so at this time, there is a good chance that there will be more than one bad luck.

His original indestructible heir status also has the possibility of being shaken, and the Xie family has a great career, especially after the end of the world, excellent young people emerge in an endless stream, and he who was originally valued was greatly threatened at this time. If you count by strength, he is not the best one in the family, but he is still one of the top ones.

But he needs more opportunities to prove himself, the corpse core has become the common currency of this era, and the corpse core obtained by killing zombies alone is completely a drop in the bucket for the entire family, so in order to get the support of the family again, he proposed this method of making money by sea.

I have to say that shipping was indeed a money-making business in Leng Yan's previous life, but it was only a year after the outbreak of the last days that it began to flourish, and it was definitely a loss to do these transactions before. Now there are many people who have corpse cores in their hands who are reluctant to waste corpse cores on these things, compared to things that are not necessary such as taking a boat, improving strength and exchanging food are urgent things.

In fact, in addition to those powerful large bases, there are still many small survivor settlements in many places, but Leng Yan has no interest in such places, and the place that looks brittle like a piece of paper makes him really insecure.

There are also many people who have the same idea as Leng Yan, but because the distance is too far, and they are reluctant to spend the hard-won corpse cores in their pockets, they can only settle for the next best thing and choose those small bases that are closer to each other.

You must know that even if such a suggestion is made, there is still no need for the heir to follow along as the next head of the family.

Xie Guge also regrets it now, it was because he was not favored by other people in the family at the beginning, and he directly made a military order with a hot brain, if he couldn't earn the corpse core, he would definitely not go home.

When he said this, the eyes of other people in the family with different minds changed, and then he suddenly realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to regret it. As proud as he is, it is naturally impossible to slap himself in the face, so he can only take over the task of shipping by sea.

Of course, the Xie family was not so cold and ruthless, but still provided him with a passenger ship of nearly 5,000 tons, which could carry thousands of passengers and pull 1,600 tons of cargo. The relevant personnel on the ship are also very complete, but from the moment the ship is handed over to him, he is responsible for all the consumption, whether it is the ship or the personnel on board.

He originally swore that he wanted to show his strength, but he found that although the number of people on the ship was not small, they basically chose the third class without exception, and now the third class is basically overcrowded, and the number of people in the second class is much less, not to mention the first class, plus the new arrivals, there are only seven people in total.

There were seventy-eight people on the entire ship, and although they were paid monthly, coupled with the various wear and tear of the ship, it would take at least three thousand corpse cores per month to make up for all their consumption.

The route he took was a round trip for six days, and then a day of stopping for repairs. Even if he is full in a month, he can only go back and forth four times at most.

This is the third round trip this month, and so far he has only received 410 corpse cores for this round trip, and if you look at the average, he needs at least 750 corpse cores per trip to save his capital.
