Chapter 12 Cooperation
Zhou Tang finished delivering the meal amid the complaints of the crew and carried the wooden barrel to the lowest cage.
First whispered a few words to Uncle Mac, who was guarding outside, and then Mike directly opened the cage door and led Cheng Mu out and handed it to her, while Mike lifted the barrel and distributed the meal.
Zhou Tang said without hesitation, "The guards around the baron come with me." ”
Cheng Mu straightened his back and walked out under the surprised gazes of Xiaoxing and Madame, Harry's worried, and the baron's expressionless face.
Zhou Tang motioned for him to keep up.
Soon, the two came to a small cabin.
The cabin seemed to have been deserted for a long time, dusty, and obscure.
Zhou Tang looked Cheng Mu's handsome face up and down with the slightest glimmer, and finally looked directly at him and said, "What do you want to tell me?" ”
The corners of Cheng Mu's mouth hooked into a smile, "Let's cooperate, me and you." ”
"I'm a player, and I know you're not from here, but you're supposed to be a bug fixer hired by the game, and the job of the fixer is to remove bugs from the dungeon or troubleshoot suspicious ones.
And I suppose you haven't figured it out yet. ”
Zhou Tang's demeanor slowly became solemn, and she clasped her hands on her chest and asked, "Oh? You're already in a cage, what do you have to do to cooperate with me. ”
Old God Cheng Mu is saying, "If it is not what I expected, the so-called bug of the game copy will appear in the cage. ”
Zhou Tang was not surprised at all, and even had such a feeling of dust settled.
Similarly, Cheng Mu was not surprised to see Zhou Tang's eyes unchanged, after all, if the collaborator is strong and has a strong personality, he can also benefit.
Zhou Tang only said, "Let's hear why you said that the baron paid too much attention to that group of slaves. ”
Cheng Mu has always adhered to the principle of 'don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people', since he really wants to cooperate with the little boy, he shouldn't shirk and hide anything.
Besides, he felt that the Baron was like a bomb, ready to be detonated at any moment, and...
The purpose of his coming to play this game is not mentioned for the time being.
Cheng Mu told Zhou Tang in a deep voice about the actions of the baron he saw at night, including the strange dark red light that flashed by.
Zhou Tang's brows furrowed slightly, she listened to Cheng Mu coldly when she talked about the dark red light, and thought that she had fallen into some fantasy story.
But he didn't question it because he was too peculiar and thought that Cheng Mu was wrong.
Cheng Mu said, "The injury on the baron's body was caused by you, because he is a nobleman, you grasped the measure and spared his life, but he is only alive."
There was no powerful medicine on this ship that could make his body recover quickly, and he could only barely ensure that his injuries did not worsen.
It can be seen that the group of slaves did their hands and feet, so that his body recovered slightly.
And I tried the Baron this morning, and I don't think the Baron is a player, we've all been tricked by him. ”
Zhou Tang's distrustful eyes, or the eyes of looking at fools, made Cheng Mu's handsome face red.
Who would have thought that this game copy would be so unreasonable, they did ignore the anomaly in the baron, and Yu Chi also paid a terrible price for it.
Cheng Mu's spirits perked up, "I guess from the moment the baron stepped into the pirate ship, his goal was the group of slaves, or that group of slaves had what he wanted.
But this goal could not be known to anyone, so he used a roundabout way to successfully approach the slave. ”
Zhou Tang saw that Cheng Mu was so honest, she told him word for word what she had heard from the crew about the origin of the slaves.
"I don't think the ordinary crew members know the real purpose of plundering this group of slaves", Zhou Tang's eyes flashed the captain's tired look, "Maybe they only received the task, but they don't know the cause and effect." ”
As soon as her voice changed, "There is also bad news, after the storm, the sea ship still has not found a route", she took out the water compass from her body and handed it to Cheng Mu.
Cheng Mu stretched out his hand to take it, and the pointers on the water compass were scurrying everywhere, chaotic! It also bodes well for the current state of affairs on this pirate ship.
"It's not just the water compass that, it was cloudy last night and there was fog this morning."
The three elements work together to block the path of the pirate ship.
Cheng Mu frowned, clenched the compass in his hand, and boldly guessed, "What if all this is related to the baron and the slaves?" ”
Zhou Tang imagined a flash of dark red light, and decided to find out, it wouldn't really become a fantasy story, right?!
The two put down their burdens and discussed a few words frankly.
"The guards beside the baron..."Zhou Tang only remembered at this time, she didn't know who was the name of the person in front of her.
"My name is Cheng Mu." He spoke in a friendly voice.
"Zhou Tang." She also reported her name, "Keep an eye on the baron and the group of slaves for now, and I'll find a way to find out more about the group of slaves from the captain's mouth." I'll sneak in to the cage until the evening. ”
Zhou Tang?
Before Cheng Mu nodded, there was a knock on the door, "Little Amy!" ”
Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu glanced at each other, finalized the matter, she stepped forward and opened the hatch, "Uncle Mac." ”
Mike's gaze fell on Cheng Mu behind her, intentionally or unintentionally, "You haven't come out for a long time, I thought something had happened to you." ”
"How so?" Zhou Tang smiled stupidly, "Theseus and Uncle Bell said that Uncle Cheng Mu is a good person. Uncle Cheng Mu has already finished eating here, and he doesn't have to attract those people to complain and be jealous. ”
Cheng Mu was not only issued a good person card, but also promoted to uncle.
He stared silently at the young man's thin shoulders and messy hair.
Uncle is uncle.
Mike nodded, "It's time for him to go back." It's just a matter of sending more food, but you can't disobey the order of the deputy captain. ”
Zhou Tang nodded obediently, and quietly stuffed two hard biscuits into Cheng Mu's hands to prevent him from being really hungry.
Cheng Mu was thrown into the cage by Mike again, and Zhou Tang left the bottom of the ship with an empty barrel.
Madame watched Cheng Mu come back safe and sound, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Xiaoxing asked directly, "Where is that kid taking you?" She was rarely a little concerned, "He didn't do anything to you, did he?" ”
Cheng Mu shook his head, he didn't reveal to these players what he meant by discovering the anomaly, not to mention that there were barons and slaves around them.
He took out a hard biscuit and nibbled on it.
Xiao Xing was a little dissatisfied with him and kept silent, and turned to bombard the others, "These people are so vicious, they dare to abuse us like this, and even the weight of this hard biscuit and water is halved!" Are they out of food or what? Deliberately tormenting us. ”
Harry said angrily, "Maybe they really don't have enough food, so they are doing it sparingly." ”
Cheng Mu didn't mean to say that the pirate ship was lost, so as not to cause unnecessary panic and make an impulsive decision.
However, the baron did not seem to let go of this opportunity, and said in a weak voice, "If we follow the expected route, we should be able to dock at this time, but until now we are still floating on the sea, and there is naturally not enough food." ”
