Chapter 3
Thomas and I went to the deck and sat down in a corner close to the bow of the boat, where a sexy redhead brought us popcorn and drinks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Thomas touched the syringe hole in his neck, lowered his voice and said, "Alex, do you think this is interesting?"
I also try to keep my voice down, "What do you mean?"
"I want you to give me the vaccine quickly, I swear I won't betray you, I swear. ā
"Then you can rest assured, I will guarantee your life. ā
"What the hell do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple, when I see the sixth desire, it's fine. ā
"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's that Zora is too cunning, the virus is completely under control by him, he said he wanted to buy it, but now he refuses to take me to inspect the goods, I suspect he doesn't have enough money to buy that batch of goods. ā
"He probably doesn't want to give you back that shipment, and is deliberately playing a scoundrel on you. ā
"What's your reason?"
"Is it possible to give the meat that fell in your mouth to someone else? This is the North African Lion, it's his ship, your goods are on his ship, and you're just a plague spreader, and it's all his people on board, if he really wants to kill you, and then get that shipment, and take people to betray the organization, and finally escape, it's very easy. ā
"So we're here for nothing?"
"It's not in vain, at least we know that the cargo is on this ship, and it won't fly away, as long as we wait patiently for the opportunity, or act on the opportunity, and promise to find it, and if we don't see the cargo before we reach St. London, we can only blow up and sink the ship. ā
"This ship is too big, Zora has sent a lot of people to guard it strictly, how can it be blown up?"
"There's got to be a way, and if you don't want to bleed and take risks, it's up to you, Thomas. ā
"How is this possible? I'm just a pawn of the Baroque, what qualifications do I have to do business with him here? Even if I don't think so, Zola thinks so, he doesn't look down on me at all, he thinks I'm not qualified to inspect the goods at all. ā
"If you are so unconfident in yourself, then I have to give up, the vaccine will not be given to you, let you fend for yourself. I immediately got up and prepared to leave.
Thomas immediately stood up, "Wait, I didn't say I wouldn't help you. ā
"I don't think I need to, count me as a free trip. ā
"No, wait, there's always a way, let me think. ā
"As long as you and I see that shipment with our own eyes, it's easy to say anything, now you have to think about how to find that shipment, and it's best to find a way to let Zora take the initiative to show you. ā
"You'd better figure it out with me, too. ā
"We'll certainly work with you to find a way to find that shipment before the North African Lion crosses the Strait of Gibraltar. ā
"I'll do my best. ā
"Then you're up for you. ā
We've been secretly searching for possible locations where the Sixth Desire is kept, but nothing has been found, and even in the sunny day, when all the crew members are asleep, I still can't find the virus, and from then on I began to wonder if the Sixth Desire was really on the North African Lion.
Time flies, and the North African Lion is about to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar. That night, Thomas asked me to the bar, and he told me disappointed, "I'm sorry, I still haven't made it." ā
From the look in his eyes, it was impossible to know the whereabouts of the virus from Zola. When I saw that he looked helpless, I said, "I know your difficulties, but we are running out of time." ā
"If ......," he said, he stopped.
"Say anything. ā
"I felt like a puppet, more like a nasty ghost that everybody yelled at. ā
"Why?"
"Don't you realize? Zola doesn't take me seriously at all, Baroque always treats me like a pawn, and you're using me here, what am I? I'm not even a bedbug. His emotions seemed impulsive.
I tried to find a way to ease his mood, "Please calm down and don't attract attention like this, okay?"
"I don't want to go on like this, you know? You can do whatever you want with me, but...... I'm fed up with days like this, I'm not even a puppet. ā
"What do you want?"
"I don't want to see you, Zola, Baroque again, I never want to see you again. ā
"Even if I promise you, will the Baroque let you go after you're gone?"
"I didn't do anything to be sorry for the organization. ā
"As long as you don't say goodbye to him, it is tantamount to betraying him, and you will not survive. ā
"Anyway, I don't want to go on like this, you know?"
"You just have to cooperate with us now, and we will keep you safe, please trust us. ā
"Believe you? Oh God, what the hell do you want me to do?"
"I've already said that, why do you still ask?"
"How can I trust you?"
"Calm down, don't get excited. ā
"I'm calm. ā
His actions were not calm at all, as if he was deliberately drawing attention to others. In a fit of rage, I grabbed him by the collar and whispered, "If you don't cooperate with us, I will make you regret that you are alive, if you don't believe me, you can try." ā
"If you have the ability, kill me. ā
"You just want to die like that?"
"I'd rather die than be used as a puppet by others. ā
Thomas seemed to be in a real hurry, but I didn't show any weakness, so I forcibly dragged him into the bathroom and gave him a hard jab, and he fell to the ground with his nose broken. I pulled out a pistol with a silencer and pointed it at his head, "It's over, I can still find the virus without you, you don't mean anything to me anymore, goodbye." "Next, I'm going to pull the trigger to end his life, my bullets are all developed to kill vampires and werewolves, and with one shot, Thomas won't be able to live.
But just as I was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly shouted: "Okay, okay, I listen to you, I will do everything in my power to help you." After shouting, he looked up at me, and then at the gun in my hand, "I don't want to die, please don't kill me, I listen to you, listen to you for everything." ā
I didn't expect him to beg for mercy, and he really just wanted to save his life. He looked at me with a look of fear in his eyes, as if to tell me that as long as I didn't kill him, let him do anything. Keep him and he'll help me find the virus. Kill him, and I'll be in trouble here. So I decided to spare his life, to find the virus first, and to stop the "physical resurrection" plan of the Evil Spirit Party and the Black Gold Maniacs, and never let the virus fall into their hands.
I put away my gun and warned him, "Thomas, I can warn you that you still have the virus we injected you with, and only here we have a vaccine for this virus, and if you want a vaccine, you have to cooperate well." With that, I stepped out of the bathroom and let him figure it out on his own.
I pretended nothing had happened and went back to the bar for a drink. A short time later, he also walked out of the bathroom and returned to his original seat.
"How long will it take to get to the Strait of Gibraltar?" I asked him.
He thought about it quickly, "I guess it's going to be there soon." ā
"What has Zola been up to lately?"
"How do I know, it's hard for me to see him in the first place, let alone know what he's doing. ā
"I have an idea. ā
"Say it quickly. ā
"It's up to you to do it. ā
"I'll have to listen first. ā
"My plan was to kill Zola. ā
"What?" he was taken aback, his face suddenly turning frightened, "Are you crazy? This is on the 'North African Lion', the ship is full of his men, can we deal with so many of them?"
"I know this, but Zola is the brain of this ship, once the members of the black gold fanatics on the ship lose him, it will be a mess, and then we can completely control the entire ship, all of my people are elites, these black gold fanatic members on the ship, including Zola, they are not opponents at all, as long as there are no accidents, they can completely defeat them. ā
"What are you going to do?"
"Do you know where Zola lives?"
"He was always secretive, and he had many dwellings, and wherever he went, there were no hordes of armed men, and it was impossible to kill him. ā
"If you find a way to get him out, I'm sure he'll die. ā
"Is that virus really that important to you?"
"Yes, I repeat, once the virus falls into the hands of the Baroque, the consequences will be unimaginable, and even God will not be able to save the world. If we fail, it only means that we have been abandoned by the goddess of fate. ā
In the end, Thomas reluctantly agreed to my bold plan.
