Chapter 179: Encounter
The opposing boat sank soon after being crashed, and most of the people on board did not even have time to put on their lifebuoys.
The psychological impact of the ferocious impact, the already cool sea water for half a night, and the fear brought by the darkness made these fleeers psychologically collapse. They struggled helplessly in the water, driven by their survival instincts, grasping at everything they had at hand, even the ropes that Wang Wei had thrown from the boat.
When they got on Wang Wei's boat, they found that it was too late, and they could only wait for their fate quietly like pigeons waiting to be slaughtered.
Wang Wei counted the number of people, but only one person was missing, and it was estimated that he drowned when the ship was sunk. So he didn't think much about it, and took the escaped "livestock" back to the island.
Although the boss was a little dissatisfied with the loss of a broken fishing boat, they had planned to destroy all the ships that they could not control, and this ship was almost the most dilapidated, and if it was lost, it would be lost.
The important thing is that he brought back almost all the escapees. Zombies only eat humans, and no other living creatures touch them, so living people are a very important "resource".
By the way, when Wang Wei was fishing for live people, he also caught a lot of fish. The scarcity of supplies is not more obvious on the island than on land. There are 20,000 or 30,000 people on Daxing Island, and there are still seven or eight thousand mouths waiting to be fed, excluding those who have been transformed into zombies and eaten. Although these fish were already hung when Wang Wei caught them, the cause of death is unknown, and it is very likely that such fish will get sick if they eat it. But those people are just food for zombies anyway, and who cares about their health.
So after seeing Wang Wei's fish, the boss's unhappiness was quickly smoothed out. In order to boost morale and consolidate his power, which had only been established for dozens of hours, the boss gathered the survivors of the whole island and praised Wang Wei in front of everyone.
The affirmation of the boss, the envy of the younger brothers, and the frightened but silent eyes of the other islanders made Wang Wei tremble with excitement. When has he ever been so beautiful! Follow the boss, it's really the right way!
He immediately decided to go to sea again and get the lost guy back. It's better to find a few more people to come back. After the disaster, several ships passed near Daxing Island, and it is not known whether they fled by boat or whether the ship was already at sea at the time of the disaster. It's a pity that there was chaos at that time, and these "grains" could not be intercepted in time. However, Daxing Island guards the sea passage from Ludong, and the possibility of encountering ships again is not small.
Seeing him so proactive, the boss was very happy and gave him two zombie soldiers. Wang Wei was a little scared at the thought of staying on a ship with zombies, but the boss said that zombies would never be a threat to him.
In order to dispel the concerns of Wang Wei and the other younger brothers, the boss also conducted an experiment: pressed two escapees, cut the thigh artery of one of them, and then ordered one zombie to eat the other. Everyone knows that blood has a very strong attraction to zombies, but the zombies just bypass the injured one and eat the flesh of the other person one by one in front of the whole island.
Seeing this scene, Wang Wei and his younger brothers were shocked and frightened of the boss, and they were even more desperate. So after going to sea, they searched even harder.
I don't know why, there are suddenly a lot of dead fish on the sea, and most of them are deep-sea fish. They even spotted a giant octopus, which frightened them into a boat and fled, only to find that it looked like it was hanging up long ago. It's cheaper for them. By the time dawn, their harvest was already very rich. And an even bigger award is yet to come: they really found a ship.
It was a sailboat, white and clean, running and running in the unobstructed wilderness.
There were people on board, and there were quite a few of them. They didn't notice anyone approaching, busy with something on the ship. If you look closely, you can see that some people are taking care of the dried fish, looking like they are happy with the harvest.
There were a few people on guard, but in addition to a big man, they were also two girls. And there is nothing to do in his hands, while chatting with others, he casually glances at the sea, more like enjoying the scenery than being vigilant.
But don't say it, those two girls are really a bit beautiful.
Let go of this fat sheep, God will not forgive you!
Wang Wei's saliva was about to flow out, and he immediately ordered his boat to approach.
Soon, they were spotted by the white galleon on the other side. The people on the boat stood up nervously. However, they did not rush into the cabin, and even stood on the boat with some curiosity and looked at Wang Wei.
The corners of Wang Wei's mouth twitched. What a bunch of fools.
He immediately ordered the ship to be driven directly in front of the sailboat. The wind was not in the right direction at the moment, so the sailboat was not fast, and it was soon blocked by his boat.
Carrying the shotgun left by his grandfather on his shoulder, Wang Wei stood proudly at the bow of the ship, and shouted at the people on the sailboat like a thief: "Listen, the people on the other side! This is the territory of Liu Ye on Daxing Island! I want to pass through here and leave to buy road money! ”
“……”
No one on the sailboat moved, no one spoke, all staring at Wang Wei and his old fishing boat.
They certainly haven't figured out the current situation yet. This kind of guy with a brain is also worthy of feeding zombies.
Thinking like this, Wang Wei smiled even more arrogantly, and continued to take care of himself: "Our Liu Ye is a benevolent person, and he is not very demanding, as long as half of the people on your ship go back with us and do our laundry and cooking, we will let the remaining half of the people leave safely."
"You have come to our island, you have a house to live in, you can go to the sea when you are hungry, as long as you do a good job and get the trust of Liu Ye, you can also drive a fishing boat to the sea to catch fish. See, the dried fish you are drying is the one we killed yesterday, so you picked it up! ”
It doesn't sound like a slave looking for someone to do laundry and cooking, but rather a charity. Who else would be so kind now.
But for those who are fed up with displacement, this is not normal at all. Wang Wei also suffered from hunger and suffering, although it was only a short day, but he also suffered all the sins of his life. The people in front of them must be thinking the same way, even if they seem comfortable now.
Then when half of the people got on his boat, he could find a way to anchor the sailboat, and then drag the boat back to Daxing Island with the rest of the people.
Of course, he could have had them all go back with him, but then he wouldn't be able to see the crowd fighting for his bounty.
