Chapter 383: If you are not punctual, you will die
The black man on the boat sneered: "If there are more people going to Kyoto, everyone will get together and more people will die!"
"But what does it have to do with me whether you are alive or dead? We just send it to Dongping Lake. There are no floods there, and we can walk the rest of the way by ourselves!"
"Also, we don't accept cash, only valuable supplies!"
I frowned, I know that money is useless in troubled times, only materials are useful.
But what I think is that at least cash will be useless until the end of the Dharma era.
During this time, China and Earth were also building a new economic system specifically to deal with the Age of Ending Law.
It seems that the person who fished for the body saw things very accurately and knew in advance that cash would become less and less valuable in the future.
Zhang Baiqiang threw a bag casually and said: "The black crystal of the underground world!"
"There is a naturally bred yin energy in it, and it is also the common currency of the underground Fengdu!"
The person who picked up the corpse looked at it carefully, then stretched out his thumb to us and said, "My friend turns out to be a fellow-traveler. This thing is not easy to get."
Zhang Baiqiang said: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"
The man who fished for corpses stopped the boat in front of us and said, "It's a bit crowded for five people, but it doesn't matter. There is a big boat ahead to meet us."
Although the surrounding areas are flooded, the water depth is only about half a meter to one meter, making it unsuitable for large ships.
This small boat is a ferry boat specially used to pick up passengers.
Including the black man who was steering the boat, the boat was quite full and the waterline was very deep.
But this guy drove the boat in the same style as Zhang Baiqiang, with great speed. But ten minutes later, I saw a cruise ship more than 30 meters long floating in the turbid flood.
From the outside, this boat looks like an iron cruise ship, specially used for tourists to play in the Yellow River.
But after getting on the boat, I discovered that there was an unpleasant odor inside. If I smelled it carefully, it should be the smell of a drug specially used to suppress corpses.
It should be to prevent the boat from being targeted by water corpses in the Yellow River.
The boss of the ship has a triangular eye, and his face is very gloomy.
There are about five or six people under him, all of whom are strong and powerful men.
Some people were carrying poles for fishing out corpses, while others had corpse-dissecting knives on their waists.
It was a very sharp short knife with an incantation on it. It was said that this knife was specially used to deal with the water corpses that pretended to be corpses.
No matter how stiff the water corpse is, it will have to rest once it encounters the dismembering knife.
In addition, there were a dozen men and women on board.
Most of them had their families and their families with them, carrying large and small bags. They should be ordinary people who were fleeing.
It's just that those who can board this ship are not ordinary people. They should all be rich or powerful.
The boss of the boat, wearing a raincoat, lowered his head and looked at his watch and said, "Is everyone here?"
The black man in charge of picking us up said: "Boss, there are two more who haven't arrived yet!"
"Shall I pick you up again?"
The boss of the ship said coldly: "No wait! Inform Qingzi and set sail immediately!"
Someone among the guests heard it and said loudly: "Boss, they may be on their way here. The water is so heavy now that they can't go back now that they are here."
"If we don't pick them up, they might die!"
The boss of the ship glanced at the man and said coldly: "I am the boss of this ship, and I have the final say here!"
"Remember, this is the first time you contradict me. If there is another time, I will throw you directly into the river to feed the fish!"
I took a look at the man and saw that he was a young man in his twenties.
He was wearing plain glasses, and the glasses were covered with water vapor.
Hearing the words of the ship boss, the young man shrank his neck involuntarily and did not dare to speak again.
The boss of the ship snorted and warned again: "Rookies, I will teach you a lesson first!"
"These are troubled times, you know?"
"Do you know what the first thing to do when trouble comes? Kill the Holy Mother first!"
"In this fucked-up world, just take care of yourself. Not your relatives and friends, please mind your own fucking business!"
"Those who are late will have to bear the consequences of being late. Even if they die, don't blame others! Just blame yourself for not leaving earlier, do you understand?"
When the boss of the ship was talking, the ship was already moving.
The guests on the deck were also herded into the cabin.
Although the guests did not like the cabin that was full of the smell of Chinese medicine, they immediately shrank their necks and entered the cabin obediently when they were stared at by the sinister triangular eyes of the ship boss.
I did not enter the cabin, but stood on the deck and looked into the distance.
I saw a black modified off-road vehicle parked in the flood on the shore.
The floodwaters submerged half of the car body, and it can be concluded that the car has been soaked in water.
A man and two women, dressed in fancy clothes, were standing on the roof of the car, waving desperately for help.
Because the rain was so loud, we couldn't hear what he was shouting, but it must have been something like asking for help.
I frowned, but I heard someone next to me say: "What? Are you soft-hearted?"
I turned around and saw that it was the boss of the ship with triangular eyes.
At that moment, I said calmly: "They wasted their time, I can't blame you. But I'm thinking, if it goes smoothly, saving someone's life can only be regarded as a good deed."
The boss of the ship shook his head: "There is no way to do it smoothly."
"Are you an exorcist too?"
He looked at the rune sword on my waist and let out a malicious laugh.
I know that he may have regarded me as a defected demon-suppressing soldier.
In fact, I did hear in the past few days that a small number of demon-suppressing soldiers were unable to face this disaster directly and chose to be deserters.
They took off their combat uniforms, but were reluctant to throw away the rune swords that could kill dead souls and zombies.
As a result, a group of deserters appeared in the eastern Shandong area.
I didn't deny it, whatever he thought was fine.
Anyway, we were just passing by, and we had nothing to do with each other after we arrived at Dongping Lake.
The boss of the ship pointed to a man and two women who were asking for help in the distance and said, "I contacted everyone last night and gave them enough time to board the ship."
"Those who can keep time will live. Those who can't keep time will die. It's a very simple truth, but there are always people who don't understand it."
"Friend, I know you must be thinking that if it goes smoothly, saving them is nothing. But I really can't save them."
"When the floods occurred, a large part of the silt at the bottom of the Yellow River was washed away, and hundreds of sunken coffins were underwater."
"If we can't cross the Sinking Coffin Gorge before dark, believe me, at least half of the people on the boat will die!"
"You think, can I still save them?"
I nodded in agreement.
There was really no way to save the late man and two women in the distance.
I hope they will be punctual people in their next life, lest they lose their lives because of not observing time.
