Early the next morning, Gu Yu and I went out early, and this time I left all the gold bars I was carrying for Tick.

Tick didn't be polite to me, the two of them didn't bring anything with them when they escaped death, they followed me all the way, and there was no source of income.

Living in the magic capital costs money everywhere, and generously accepting this living expense can make me feel at ease when I go out.

I still have a lot of points in my terminal, don't worry about the food and water supply after going to sea, the money Gu Yu brings with him is used to rent a boat, and when the game is over, we can still get some funds back.

The little abacus in my heart crackled, and when I arrived at the port, I was dumbfounded, the fishing boats are not small, and there are still conditions for renting them.

First of all, you must register with your real name, and secondly, you must hire the ship's own sailors.

All the expenses add up, even if you want to get back the gold bars left for ticking, it is only enough for a fraction.

We picked and picked at the port for half a day until all the fishing boats had gone out to sea and we couldn't pick a suitable boat.

At this time, a thin and dark middle-aged man walked up and asked if we wanted to rent a boat.

Gu Yu nodded yes, and the man lowered his voice and said that there is a ship that meets our requirements.

Looking at his mysterious appearance, there was probably something wrong with the ship, but Gu Yu still looked interested and inquired about the situation of the ship in detail.

The middle-aged man said that the ship had transported zombies, and the owner of the ship was a virus carrier, and he usually went to sea occasionally to catch a fish, but the fish he caught could not be sold, so he ate it himself.

According to the taboo of the zombie virus among the people of Modu, the ship must be the same as the blockade area in the city, and people have to hide when they see it.

I thought it was such a big deal, but after listening to the middle-aged man's words, my heart suddenly blossomed, and I secretly laughed that this boat was not prepared for us.

Gu Yu asked where to find the shipowner, the middle-aged man showed us the way, the dock is close to the city, there are many containers, the middle-aged man said that the shipowner lives there.

Tao Cong told us about the container area, and he said that the so-called container area refers to the poor people around the wharf who regard containers as their homes.

Houses in the city are good, but they have to pay rent for electricity and water, and they can't afford to live in cheap houses for people who don't have regular jobs.

There are also people who beg for a living at the docks, such as a middle-aged man, who says that he is a porter, and occasionally there are fishing boats that cannot be unloaded, so he will hire a few porters to help.

The same is true for the official fleet, but that is rare, and in order to wait for the occasional job opportunity, the terminal porters usually live in the container area.

We thanked the middle-aged man and walked towards the container area, where the rows of containers, like colorful building blocks discarded on the side of the road, were neatly arranged, and smoke wafted from them, telling visitors that they were not abandoned.

Each container is numbered on the outside, and the middle-aged man said that the owner lives in container 019, which is not as dirty as I imagined, and the containers are full of old things collected by residents, and there are people living outside the house with plants, creating a small sense of warmth.

We stopped in front of Container 019, and by this time the residents had already gone out to look for work, and most of the people left behind were women and children.

The occupant of container 020 on the opposite side heard us knocking on the door and stuck her head out curiously, and her child also squeezed her little head out of the crack in the door to look out.

We knocked a lot before the people inside came to open the door, and if the antenna hadn't told me there was someone inside, we might have given up.

A man in his thirties, sleepy-eyed, opened the door and asked in an impatient tone, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Gu Yu said politely: "Hello, we want to rent a boat to go to sea, and Uncle Wang at the pier recommended your boat to us." ”

When he heard that we were going to charter a boat, the man's eyes barely widened, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was disheveled, his beard was stained with food scraps, and he was smoky with alcohol.

"He has a virus on him, you have been deceived!" The woman on the other side suddenly shouted.

"Shut up and go back." The man yelled rudely at the woman.

The woman closed the door with a bang and cursed a few words in the house, seemingly very dissatisfied with the neighbors who lived with the man.

"She's right, I'm infected with the virus." The man finished yelling at the woman, turned his gaze back to look at us, and said.

"It doesn't matter, we have urgent matters and must go to sea as soon as possible." I put on a warm smile and tried to look as sincere as possible.

"Come in and talk about it." The man beckoned, turned and walked into the house.

It was a little cold in the house, and the fire in the earthen stove was not strong, and he kicked open the empty bottles all over the floor to clear a passage for us.

It's definitely a house with four walls, and we're just here to rent a boat, so I didn't look much at it.

Gu Yu casually closed the door, there were no chairs in the room, and the man didn't invite us to sit, because the only single bed was only a set of tattered bedding, so dirty that we couldn't see the color, it was estimated that he was afraid that we would dislike it, so he simply let us stand and talk.

"We only charter boats." As soon as I entered the house, I went straight to the point.

"You can't drive my boat." The man pulled his coat out of the dirty quilt and put it on.

"Don't worry, we can open it, and the rent is paid according to the rules, and it will count as the share that hired you." I say.

"My boat can only be driven by me." Men don't give in.

I looked at Gu Yu, who took my hand and said to the man, "Excuse me." ”

Then he pulled me out, Gu Yu had already stepped out of the door, and I was about to step out of the door, at this time, the man behind him said: "Okay, but the cost will be doubled, if you don't come back, my source of life will be cut off." ”

Of course, we know that if we don't hire him, we will buy his boat, both sides are strangers, there is no such thing as trust, we are outsiders, if the boat is really lost, he will have no place to cry.

The price he opened was not low, the gold bars on Gu Yu's body were not enough at all, I exchanged my points for a few necessities of life, even if he couldn't use it himself, he could sell it for a lot of money if he took it to the market and sold it.

When the man saw that they were generous, he changed his mind and insisted on going with us, saying that all the gold bars could be returned to us.

"Have you lived enough?" I was enraged by his impromptu change of mind, and the tone of my voice was no longer polite.

"Yes." The man nodded, and the answer was beyond my expectations.

"Alright, send us to death." I didn't think he was joking, and I wasn't interested in knowing what was going on in his mind, so I agreed.

The man smiled indifferently, left the door unlocked when he went out, and led us to see his boat.

Is this really not going to come back? I thought this man was very strange, and I seemed quite happy to hear that he was going to die.

The man's ship was small, the cockpit was the size of a sentry box, and the blue paint on the surface was almost gone, and it looked tattered.

His ship wasn't anchored near the harbor, we walked a long way to get there, and it didn't matter where we got from anyway, I don't care about that.

After the ship went to sea, I reported the coordinates of the sea to the shipowner, and he introduced himself and said that his surname was Zhu, and we called him Boss Zhu.

After listening to the coordinates I reported, Boss Zhu told me that it was a small island, located at the eastern end of the Ryukyu Islands.

There was a boat that knew the way, and it saved us a little calculation, but I reminded him again that this time the sea was very dangerous, and it was likely that he would die.

Instead, he asked me an irrelevant question: "Why aren't you afraid of me?" And my ship, which carries zombies, alive. ”

I thought that I would not have a chance to see each other again in the future, and even if he could return to the demon capital alive, we might not meet each other, so I confessed: "Because I am a zombie." ”

After smiling at him, Boss Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then a little annoyed, "If you don't want to say it, forget it." ”

"Look, you don't believe it, they say you're a virus carrier, so you have a zombie virus on you?" I asked rhetorically.

"I was bitten and infected with the virus, but I didn't die, so they put me in charge of transporting zombies." Boss Zhu said.

"Aren't all the infected people collectively burned, why do you still have to transport zombies?"

"I was bitten and fled back to my own ship, where I slept and woke up to find that I was not dead or mutated."

"You weren't caught by them for research?"

"I don't have antibodies in my body that can cure the virus, and the doctor said that it was an exception, and the virus had a home in my body, and they lived peacefully with me without interfering with each other."

"No wonder......" I muttered, touching my chin.

"What?"

"You're lucky, you're still human." I say.

"Lucky? Hahaha. Boss Zhu suddenly laughed, not happy at all, like mocking, and like crying.

He glared at me gloomily and said, "You call this lucky?" ”

I looked at him calmly, without the slightest fear: "You didn't mutate, and you didn't die, it's not luck." ”

He shook his head slightly, as if he thought my words were ridiculous, "How did you hear that woman scold me?" I killed my whole family, I was a broom star, no one dared to contact me, no one bought the fish I caught, haha, even those bastards who went to the container area all day long to blackmail didn't dare to trouble me. ”

As he spoke, his voice grew quieter, and at last he said, "I wish they had killed me." ”

I still think he's lucky, but he got into the horns, "You said you killed the whole family, did you know you were going to kill them, if you know, then I have nothing to say, but if you don't know, then I can't blame you." How many people wish they could be immune to the virus, and would rather do things that hurt nature and reason than want to get this ability, and you can get it after a sleep, isn't it lucky? ”

Boss Zhu retorted excitedly: "But I have become a virus, everyone hates me and avoids me, and wishes I would die soon." ”

I shook my head: "The uncle who recommended us your ship, did he recommend it to us because he hated you?" ”

Boss Zhu was silent when he heard this, obviously the uncle was out of kindness, seeing that he had no income all day, so he helped him pull the business.

"He certainly doesn't think you're a virus walking around, and if he doesn't hurt us sincerely, then he must believe that you won't infect others at will."
