16. Leaving Home Alliance

"This cargo ship belongs to Stark Industry. They are rich and powerful. Although the ship is a little older, there are special refrigerators in the crew room and the captain's room, which contain many good things."
Merlin walked in the darkness and whispered to Bruce beside him:
"I know there are a few guys who like to play cards and have fun in the restaurant until very late. There is no one in their cabin now. I'm here to watch, you go in and get things. Don't take snacks, get some food and drinks, do you understand?"
"Um."
Merlin's new friend Bruce doesn't like to talk much. He is a very silent young man.
Although he has an innate sense of wealth and honor, he is not vague at this critical moment.
Under Merlin's urging, Bruce, wearing a shirt, climbed up the railing of the crew room in a few seconds, carried a small pocket, and tiptoed towards Merlin's cabin to tell him.
Merlin also jumped on the railing, stood on the edge, and looked around vigilantly. On the deck not far away, lights shone over from time to time, and sailors patrolling the night were walking.
In the past, he always picked up things in the kitchen and rarely came to the crew room because there were many people here, and he would be discovered if he was accidentally. Now with Bruce, the two of them divided their work and cooperated, Merlin could finally improve the food.
It was the first time that Bruce, who came from a wealthy family, did this kind of thing. He had to take food from Merlin before, but now he took the initiative to collect food. This kind of stealing behavior made Bruce very confused.
Because of some things in the past, he hated any criminals and criminal acts, but now he has to do such things to survive.
In this inner entanglement, Bruce successfully slipped into the unmanned cabin.
The cabin was very messy. After all, the sailors who lived on the sea all year round did not have good hygiene habits. Bruce resisted the pungent smell. He reached out and opened the small refrigerator placed on the edge. At the moment the refrigerator lights were on, Bruce saw what was in it.
A few apples, a few smoked sausages, a bag of chocolate, a few packets of instant food, and a huge number of soft drinks.
These foods that he wouldn't even look at on weekdays, under the urging of hunger in Bruce's abdomen, the noble man even secreted saliva.
Since he slipped onto the boat two days ago, he has hardly eaten anything except a few pieces of chicken from Merlin.
Under the urging of that eating instinct, Bruce picked up an apple and took a bite. The sweetness made him unable to help but take a second bite.
In just a moment, a frozen apple was eaten clean.
Fortunately, Bruce still remembered Merlin's instructions. He bit the apple core, moved his hands and swept the things in the refrigerator into his pocket, but just when he wanted to get something more, a hand suddenly buckled from the depths next to him on Bruce's wrist, which scared Bruce.
He turned around and punched him.
"Don't take too much, rookie!"
Merlin, who jumped out of the shadow, dodged his fist, glared at Bruce, and then looked at the refrigerator that was messed up by him. He said to the young man with some headache:
"The crew are not fools. If you mess with this, they will be on guard next time. You can't just look at the present, but you have to think about it for the future."
As he spoke, Merlin took Bruce's pocket, put some of the items back in the refrigerator, and arranged them again. He pinched a piece of chocolate, shook it in front of Bruce's eyes, and threw it into his pocket, he said:
"This kind of high-calorie thing is very important and easy to carry, so take more."
Merlin put all the apples back in the refrigerator, and he said:
"Fruits are not easy to preserve, just take one at a time."
He looked back at the apple core in Bruce's hand.
Merlin shook her head, took another apple, threw it into her pocket, and then closed the door of the refrigerator.
“走了,下一个!”
With the guidance of a skilled expert like Merlin, in just 20 minutes, Bruce's pocket was filled with all kinds of things, not just food, but also towels, unopened toothbrushes and combs, which could be used as large cups for lunch boxes.
Unlike Merlin's "travel", Bruce, who rushed onto the boat and ran away from home after a fever, was almost unprepared except for the precious clothes on her body.
Merlin had to teach him step by step how to live in such a strange environment.
The last stop for the two of them to "plunder" was the captain's office.
The captain is the highest-ranking person on a ship, just like the king in the small kingdom, and the harvest in the captain's room should also be the greatest.
But captains are often experienced people, so if they are not necessary, Merlin will never slip into the captain's room. If you are not careful, it will directly trigger a large-scale search for "smugglers".
堪称得不偿失.
"The captain should be having midnight snacks, we have 5-10 minutes left."
Merlin looked at the watch on his wrist and said to Bruce, who was looking around:
"This time I'm going, you hide beside you. When you see someone coming, you knock three times. Do you understand?"
"Um."
Bruce nodded silently, Merlin handed Bruce his pocket, then reached out and twisted a few times on the lock of the captain's room.
He took out a few thin iron marks and was about to use some technical means to open the door, but turned his head and saw Bruce staring at him with wide eyes.
This made Merlin feel a little uncomfortable, he was not used to doing these things under the gaze of others, so he said:
“扭过头好吗?小孩子别看这些!”
“也许我们不该这么做”
布鲁斯有些扭捏的说:
"There's enough for us to eat, we should go back."
“还有最重要的东西没拿到.”
梅林的手指细微的活动着,他说:
"We can meet today, it is the arrangement of fate. I have to arrange a "welcome party" for my little brother. How can I not have wine? Just be content, Bruce, when I left home, no one did this for me. Besides, our captain is not a thrifty person. He can't use things and will be thrown away or sold after the dock. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Click"
With a light sound, the hatch door opened.
Meilin flashed into it and slowly closed the door.
Bruce held his pocket and endured the cold wind at night. His attention was condensed in this night. Any movement would arouse Bruce's high alert.
He urgently hoped that this matter would end soon, so he didn't have to be so worried.
Chapter completed!
