In front of everyone was a lonely sea of ice.

Under the pale moonlight, the cold sea of ice slapped unhurriedly against the ice, and the steady rhythm seemed to have not changed since the birth of the world.

The wind was cold, and the poor people in ragged clothes couldn't help but tug hard at their necklines. The woman held the child's hand so hard that she couldn't wait to take the child into her arms.

They were all workers who had discovered the secret of the pamphlet.

Ferguson looked up at the stars in the sky and whispered, "Max, if we go back to sleep now, we can still get up and go to work tomorrow." Otherwise......"

Lewis on the side said, "Of course, we were already discovered by the doglegs when we came out. They didn't stop them, tomorrow they would stare at us, and if they closed their eyes a little, they would be beaten and expelled—but so what? How long would you want to live as a slave?"

Ferguson clenched his fists hard.

The bearded Max looked at the twenty or thirty workers behind him, all of whom were waiting in anxiety.

"The Ark will come. I believe that the things at Stanford are true. ”

"Why?"

"We don't hear a word about Stamford Floating Island other than the pamphlet, suggesting that those bastards are deliberately blocking the news. ”

"The more they don't want us to know, the worse the news is for them!"

"Yes!"

The little monkey asked, "Uncle Max, how did you know the location?"

"The inexplicable string of numbers is divided into three parts, the first two being the date and time, so I suspect that the last ones represent the place. I spent time in the Navy, and if that's a password, there's bound to be a codebook. The last one with the highest number was no bigger than the last page of the booklet, so I guess the booklet itself is a codebook. Sure enough, there is a special black and bold word in the legal text on each page that connects it...... is the answer. ”

Sudden applause rang out behind everyone.

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked back, they saw that it was actually the iron rod foreman and his thugs, there were thirty or forty people.

"Oh, what a wonderful reasoning, Max, worthy of an old sailor. The guessing game is played beautifully. So, are you and these idiots you're in tandem ready to be fired?"

Max looked at the foreman without fear: "What about dismissal? We are free men, we can go wherever we want!"

The foreman seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed: "Fools, you don't want a job, you don't want your salary, you don't want your life, as the first batch of fools who can guess riddles, your name will be blacklisted by all the factory owners in Jacque, and no factory will hire you." Pray that the bullshit ark will come and pick you up, or your only freedom will be to starve to death or jump into the sea!, well, brethren, let's see how fools and poor devils kneel down and kowtow to us in despair!"

A crowd of hooligans scattered in groups of three or five, looking nonchalantly at the workers who glared at them.

"The Ark...... Will definitely come!"

It was the literate worker who spoke.

"Oh, may I ask where this enigmatic confidence comes from, idiot?"

"Stanford needs us. ”

"Huh! Need a fool?"

The hooligan ruffians laughed.

The literate worker shook his head firmly: "Absolutely, not so! We are smart enough because we can see through the riddles in the pamphlets, we are decisive enough to say no to your oppression, we are united and disciplined enough, and everyone has done their part." We workers are the smartest and bravest people in the world—fools, it's you, you damn parasite!"

The foreman said gloomily: "Brothers, drag this long-tongued fool over to me and pull out his tongue!"

Max roared, "How dare you!"

"Oh, I'm so scared! He's angry!" exclaimed the foreman, exaggeratedly, and his face changed, "as for fighting, it seems that there are more people on my side." You'd better watch quietly, or he's not the only one who will have his tongue plucked out. Give it to me!"

Ferguson roared: "Fight with them!"

Just when the two sides were on the verge of breaking out, the little monkey suddenly shouted: "Look, look, light, light!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and under the pale moonlight, on the rolling sea of ice, an orange lamp was shaking slightly, gradually getting bigger.

Lewis's lips trembled: "Ship...... Ship ......"

It was a ship's headlight, and behind it, there were small lights that marked the outline of the ship.

Ferguson yelled: "More than one, more than one!"

Yes, the orange light was not alone, and after it, four more appeared.

Five boats, cleaving the waves, approached the beach in the moonlight.

The little monkey saw the appearance of the ship clearly: "The bow is square, behold, it is square, the ark, the ark!"

No one laughed at his strange logic of "the ark is square", and everyone's eyes were attracted to these five strange-looking ships.

Max exclaimed, "They're not slowing down, it's too bad, they're going to run aground......"

Before the words fell, there was a boom, the waves and broken ice collapsed half a day high, and five flat-headed giant ships rushed to the frozen shore one after another—they ran aground.

Some of the ruffians laughed and were slapped by the foreman and shut up.

"Squeak quack—boom!" the bow of the flathead ship slammed into the ice beach like a fallen gate.

A big man in armor jumped down and shouted: "Captain of the Stamford Floating Island Guard, Yevoynich, come to pick up the workers and return to the island!

Max yelled, "Here we are, surrounded!"

Yevoynich had already seen the situation on the shore, and with a wave of his hand, countless soldiers rushed out of the cabin of the flat-headed boat, and in an instant surrounded the foreman and his thugs.

Max yelled for the second time: "We have women and children, do you want them!"

Yevoynich also shouted: "Come up!"

"Everyone wait a while, the woman and the child will get on the boat first!"

The foreman quit and shouted: "Can't go, they're factory workers...... Whew!"

Yevoynich pounded his belly with the hilt of his sword, then grabbed him by the hair and dragged his face up: "Is there a contract?"

"I didn't ...... Whew!"

"Five insurances and one housing fund?"

"What are the five...... Whew!"

"Will they?"

"Willing...... No, no, no, unwilling, unwilling, they are free, they can go wherever they want...... Whew!"

He was still beaten.

Yevoynich grabbed him by the collar with one hand, and with the other he twitched the foreman's fat face lightly: "That's right." However, this time it is for you - because Lao Tzu does not like you. ”

Under the deterrence of absolute force, the foremen and thugs trembled, and no one dared to say a word.

Yevoynich was the last to board the ship.

After getting on the boat, Max said, "I'm sorry, this time, there are only twenty of us ......"

Yevoynich waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, as long as there is one who is willing to go, we will take one and go!"

"There are still a lot of people who want to leave, will you still come back?"

"Of course!"

The workers who boarded the ship let out a cheer.

Yevoynich ordered loudly: "Retreat!"

The stern of the five flat-headed warships erupted with a loud sound at the same time, and the powerful blades spun rapidly, and the hull slowly retreated. Soon, all five stranded battleships returned to the sea and disappeared into the depths of the icy sea.

The foreman stared at the disappearing battleship with hatred, and gritted his teeth: "Absolutely, there will be no second time, absolutely!"
