The surging river water brought a strong chill, and a layer of mist lingered on both sides of the river bank.
When Sabio came to the foot of the river embankment with five large pieces of dynamite, there were already four familiar figures busy here.
"Arney, Harry, Blitz Seamus, Honey Seamus!"
With the flickering light of the fire, Sabio could clearly see the faces of these people and couldn't help but exclaimed.
His voice echoed under the empty river embankment, breaking the deathly silence.
Several people were responsible for guarding the dock tonight, but now they appeared here at the same time.
"It's actually you."
"Where's Iztok? It's not you who survived, right?"
"It's really strange. We bet that the person who dies will definitely be you."
Hearing the voice, several people who turned around were a little surprised when they saw Sabio's face full of "wisdom".
Pier guards work in teams of two.
The smarter Iztok did not survive, but Sabio, a fool, was qualified to join.
"The one who died must be me!"
Sabio looked around viciously, somewhat dissatisfied with the malicious ridicule of several people.
However, after thinking about his current situation the next second, he felt like a balloon that had been popped and softened.
"Everyone, do you know what just happened? These two guys, Jason and Mircea, are absolutely crazy. They actually shot Iztok to death with their crossbows!"
"I can assure you that Iztok didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy. In a swish, they shot him directly through the heart!"
Mentioning the horrific scene that just happened in front of him, Sabio was so frightened that he broke out in big drops of cold sweat.
To this day, he still doesn't understand how Iztok offended these two people and was so painfully killed.
"besides."
"My dear, I suggest you keep your mouth shut and get to work quickly. Mircea should have told you the consequences of not posting these five explosives within half an hour, right?"
The burly Harry sneered:
"And you stupid pig-like brain still doesn't understand? From the moment you came here, we are traitors of the Red Flower Gang. If we are caught, you and I will die ten times."
When I thought about submitting a certificate of surrender and becoming a traitor to the territory, I still had to explain myself to Sabio.
In the shadow.
Brother Simo's teeth were itching with hatred, and he snorted and walked towards the red mark on the river embankment where no explosives had been placed.
Only Arne did not want to give up uniting any unlucky guy who was forced to die.
"Harry is right, Sabio, you should understand the consequences if the river embankment is dug up by explosives and the river water pours into the territory. Yes, we have been forced by them to a point of no return. Resistance is
There is no way to resist, so think carefully about how to escape after the explosion."
Although the natural river embankment blocks the erosion of the river water, it also buries a huge hidden danger!
The overall water level of the Julongxian River is slightly higher than the ground. Once the embankment breaks, it will immediately flood the surrounding area.
In addition, the terrain of the Honghua Gang's territory is also a buffer corridor.
Gathering Place No. 1 and Gathering Place No. 2 are exactly at the lower center of the buffer zone.
If you blow up the river embankment at night, the raging river water will instantly submerge the foundation that everyone has worked so hard for months to build!
"Why, this is not good for them!"
Although Sabio has Sabi in his name, he is also quite stupid.
But being able to survive the disaster in the wasteland a year and a half ago and successfully survive until now still has a bit of survival instinct.
Arne explained a few words, and then he immediately asked the core question.
"You ask me, I would rather ask them."
"It's not just Jason and Mircea, there are many rebels. There are at least thirty people on duty tonight!"
Just as he was saying this, there was another rustling sound coming from above the river embankment, and another person was seen walking down from the shadows.
After taking a closer look at the people standing below, there was immediately a cry:
"Oh my God, Marcelino must be crazy. He killed Hayden and asked us to stick explosives to blow up the river embankment and help the dwarves invade the territory!"
"What, helping the dwarves invade the territory?!"
Sabio felt cold all over. The explosive in his hand had not been ignited yet, but it was so hot that no one could hold it firmly.
Help the dwarves?
Are these guys crazy?
With the lord Ji Wuming leading people to invade the dwarf territory again and again to loot supplies, it is not an exaggeration to say that the two parties are now mortal enemies.
Many people in the territory were wondering when the dwarves would come to take revenge, but they did not expect that this move would be a fatal move.
They are secretly trying to win over humans, hoping to cooperate with others and break the dyke of the Dragon Immortal River to flood the entire territory!
How many people are going to die?
"enough!"
Arne suddenly shook his head and shouted angrily, slightly irritated.
"Whether they are working for the dwarves or working for the manager of any gathering place in the territory, this is not what we need to pay attention to right now.
The most important thing for us now is to survive. If we can’t finish all these explosives, you, me, him, we will all die soon!”
"As for what consequences this explosive will bring, this is something that the devil lord should consider!"
As Arne spoke, he walked away angrily.
Several people present were silent, knowing why he suddenly became so angry.
During the previous invasion of the dwarves, Arne's brother unfortunately died on the way.
Although the territory issued a fairly generous pension, it still could not change Arne's hatred for the dwarves and the lord Ji Wuming!
Now, he didn't expect that he would be forced into the battle between the dwarves and the Red Flower Gang again.
All I can say is that fate plays tricks on people.
"Get to work quickly."
Sabio's expression was solemn, and he kept watching Arne's figure disappear into the darkness, and then he walked heavily in the opposite direction of the river embankment, holding the explosives.
The entire temporary dock occupies about two kilometers of the river embankment and is not large in scale.
In each red circle on the river embankment, an explosive that can be timed to explode needs to be placed.
After the explosives are placed, the surrounding conspicuous clay must be wiped off as required.
Sabio counted, not counting the places where explosives had been placed and the clay had been wiped off, there were still forty or fifty red circles waiting to be placed.
This means that at least hundreds of explosives were placed along the entire river embankment.
Once the timer expires, an explosion occurs.
In an instant, the entire river embankment will completely collapse, and the vast river water will flow directly into the territory.
It is unclear how much damage was caused, but the wheat that was planted
Sabio knelt down and couldn't help but shudder, feeling a little scared and a little lucky at the same time.
"No, you really plan to put the explosives down. Put them down. You are their accomplice."
Realizing that Sabio had started working, the man who had come down before chased after him again and asked eagerly.
"We can go back and tell the lord, you know, this must be a great achievement."
"Okay, then you go ahead, I support you."
Sabio shrugged and responded casually:
"Darren, I believe in your courage, but you shouldn't believe that I have the same courage as you, right?"
"Damn it!"
Darren was a little angry:
"You should know the consequences of colluding with aliens. This is not surrendering to the enemy, this is becoming a traitor to mankind!"
"Then? They are all dead. Will the dead stand up and tell others that we are traitors?"
Sabio even made a little joke.
"I think at this time, we'd better place the explosives quickly and find a suitable sampan."
"If this river collapses, I can't imagine what will happen to the boats docked."
"Go away, if you don't want to go, I will go by myself."
Darren cursed angrily and left with the explosives in hand.
But looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he had no intention of informing the territory, but instead compromised on this insipid reality!
"Hey, I'll tell you"
Sabio shrugged, not surprised.
But after lowering his head, he muttered in a voice that only he could hear:
"But it's weird."
"If this river is so important, Ji Wuming is so confident in arranging for us to garrison it?"
The next day.
When Liu Zhi woke up from his sleep, the fleet was less than 400 kilometers away from the Honghua Gang.
Compared with the embarrassment of unpowered boats on the river.
The fleet equipped with energy stone engines seemed to be teleporting, traveling nearly a thousand kilometers in one night.
"Brother Liu is awake. Go and wash up quickly. We have all finished breakfast."
After Liu Zhi regained consciousness for a while, he pushed the door open and went up to the first deck.
Song Chunrui, Wang Bi, and Pang Pangyuan were already chatting by the guardrail while enjoying the river breeze.
"You guys got up so early?"
"It's not too early." Pang Pangyuan replied with a smile: "It's almost eleven o'clock. Brother Liu seems to have slept late last night, right?"
"Eleven o'clock?"
Liu Zhi shook his heavy head and quickly opened the game panel to confirm the time.
"Damn, I obviously went to bed very early, why did I sleep until now?"
It was clear that I was still having sweet dreams when I first fell asleep, but in the second half of the night, nightmares came one after another.
I always remember what seemed to happen in the middle, but when I think about it carefully, it seems that it was all a fantasy in a dream.
Realizing that there were less than four hours left before returning to the territory, Liu Zhi quickly went to the cabin to wash up.
As soon as I finished washing up, I was just in time to catch the fleet's lunch.
"Hey, Lord Liu didn't come over this morning. Does that mean he has no appetite?"
Cui Lu walked in after washing his hands, glanced at Liu Zhi, who had two huge dark circles under his eyes, and said with some surprise:
"I've always heard people say that people are timid when living close to home. It seems Lord Liu is not immune to this."
Liu Zhi stood up with an embarrassed look on his face, shook his head quickly and said:
"Maybe, I don't know what happened. I fell asleep last night and it's up to now."
"Hey, this is..."
Seeing the unfamiliar face standing behind Cui Lu, Liu Zhi pretended to be surprised and quickly changed the topic:
"Just call me Ben. I am the maintenance master of this fleet. But young man, I have to give you a piece of advice. A gentleman should be careful when he is alone. Remember to exercise restraint when you are alone in a room."
Ben is a middle-aged man with an undistinguished appearance, and his squinting smile makes people feel quite friendly.
Hearing the word "moderate", Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel more embarrassed:
"You misunderstood, I didn't"
"I don't think Brother Liu should explain this matter, hahaha." Song Chunrui joked, and the atmosphere was awkward and lively for a while.
But when they sat down, everyone realized that this old man could actually sit with the captain Cui Lu.
This status is not low.
Although they were only maintenance engineers of the fleet, the four of them still wanted to make friends.
"Old Ben, I'd better call you Uncle Ben."
Liu Zhi put down his chopsticks with an eager expression on his face: "It's not easy to repair a ship. It's convenient to reveal. Where is Uncle Ben's career on earth?"
"To tell you the truth, I have an old uncle who works at China's No. 1 Shipyard. Maybe you guys know him."
The boss chuckled: "The First Shipyard? I can't afford to go to that place. I'm just an ordinary person. I just opened a small shipyard at home. I rely on self-study for maintenance and other things."
"Small shipyard?"
Liu Zhi suddenly became interested:
"To tell you the truth, I am planning to open a shipyard when I return to the territory this time."
There are many ways to make money.
But if you want to make money easily, you have to find a business that can be easily monopolized.
Liu Zhi has no intention of getting involved in businesses that are in the basic production direction, such as iron-making or small industrial products.
Once those industries expand in scale, there will inevitably be fierce competition.
As for shipbuilding, a group of people will be screened out because of technical barriers, plus he has the advantage of going to Tianyuan first for inspection.
As long as cooperation can be formed and scaled up, it will soon form a high threshold that ordinary people cannot enter.
"If you have an idea, why don't we cooperate?"
"cooperate?"
Old Ben put down the chopsticks in his hand, glanced at Cui Lu who was calm next to him, and couldn't help shaking his head: "You little guy is poaching people in front of our captain, are you really not afraid that you will be thrown off the ship now?"
"Hehe. Let's cooperate. Uncle Ben can invest in technology and receive dividends on a regular basis."
Knowing Cui Lu's bottom line and principles, Liu Zhi smiled and continued to talk with a smile on his face:
"Our territory of the Honghua Gang is close to this giant dragon fairy river, so we have a huge advantage. In my vision, if we can build our territory into a transfer station that spans the entire river and radiates nearly a thousand kilometers around,
That development speed will definitely be much easier than the current situation of fighting inland and fighting for territory with the dwarves."
"What you are thinking about is long-term cooperation. Besides, I don't need money anywhere."
Lao Ben didn't show any sign of being moved.
Liu Zhi was not discouraged and changed the subject with a smile:
"It is necessary to take the long term, our Lord Ji often said. In the wasteland, you have to take one step at a time and look at ten steps. The current situation may be very complicated, but as long as you make the right choice, the road ahead will be ten times easier."
"So Lord Ji is leading people to fight against the dwarves like crazy to pave the way for him in the future?" Wang Bi asked curiously.
"Who can know this?"
Liu Zhi sighed: "But don't tell me, my Lord Ji is indeed not an ordinary person. As early as when the disaster just opened up this big river, he ordered the territory to prepare. Once the disaster is over, he will immediately send
Let’s go down the river to Tianyuan!”
"Think about it. What was the scale when I set out, and what scale was it when you set out."
When talking about this matter, Liu Zhi couldn't help but feel proud.
However, from an angle that he didn't notice, Captain Cui Lu and Lao Ben looked at each other calmly.
The two nodded slightly, as if they were confirming some idea.
