Chapter 76 Chill

The girl did not resist, nor was there any look of disgust on her face.

She looked composed, even softly gossiping with the man pulling her about what was happening among the women in the lower cabins.

In the shadows, Zhou Yan sighed softly.

This girl was already showing signs of Stockholm Syndrome.

It is a human psychological defense mechanism, referring to victims developing emotional dependence on their abusers when subjected to extreme threats.

The bearded man looked visibly impatient and lustful, leading the girl through several twists and turns to a dim, small cabin.

Inside the cabin, there was only a thin blanket spread on the floor.

The bearded man gave her a push, and the girl fell onto the blanket, supporting herself with her hands behind her back, looking "ready."

"Mmm..."

Zhou Yan hesitated. It certainly wasn't the right time to act. For one, his speed could only guarantee knocking out one person. If the girl didn't have Stockholm Syndrome, he would have already made his move.

But as everyone knows, victims suffering from Stockholm Syndrome are no different from idiots.

If he acted now, she would likely scream at the top of her lungs.

But if he didn't act now...

Fortunately, the room was dim. He moved along the shadows, slipped into the shadow of a wall, and lay in wait quietly...

"Great opportunity!"

The bearded man was putting his all into it...

The girl beneath him was faking an expression of enjoyment, but she kept feeling that in the darkness behind the bearded man, there was a mass of shadows...

It was moving!

In terror, the girl suddenly screamed even more intensely...

But the bearded man didn't care about that.

He only thought he was just that good...

That mass of shadow instantly shifted into the bearded man's shadow, and an arm reached out from the darkness, striking the girl's neck violently...

The girl's voice came to an abrupt halt...

"Huh? Passed out?"

The bearded man paused, stunned.

He reached out, scratched his butt, and muttered to himself while looking at the unconscious girl beneath him.

"Am I actually this fierce now?"

Zhou Yan was speechless. Fierce? He was like a caterpillar...

He reached back, pulled out his shotgun, and pressed the barrel directly against the bearded man's chin.

Anyone in this environment, while doing such a thing, would probably be scared "limp" if a man holding a gun suddenly popped out from a dim corner.

Let alone him.

Seeing a black figure emerge from the darkness, the big man shuddered with a violent "shiver"!

Afterward, in the dim light, he saw the shotgun in Zhou Yan's hand clearly.

The bearded man instantly realized that this person was definitely not from his ship!

They were all residents of the same fishing village, and most of them were related or familiar with each other.

Most importantly, there were no such shotguns on the ship!

One look at this big guy, and you could tell it wasn't domestically made...

"I ask, you answer!"

The bearded man clearly knew the rules; he moved to the side... and obediently squatted in the corner, holding his head with both hands...

"Is that The Young Man who calls you uncle your biological nephew?"

The bearded man nodded.

"Is his wife named Leng Xiaoya?"

The bearded man shook his head in confusion.

"He's not married..." the bearded man said.

"Then do you know Leng Xiaoya?" Zhou Yan asked.

The bearded man shook his head again in bewilderment.

Zhou Yan recounted the story of the cuckold to the bearded man.

The bearded man stood up excitedly, but because his lower body was in an extremely indecent state, he quickly squatted back down.

"Bullshit! He's the one who plays around!"

After cursing, the man inwardly berated his nephew for being such a bastard; seeing that he was about to get into trouble, he had dumped all the blame on his elder!

Was he even a human being?

The man knelt on the ground and told Zhou Yan about the two brothers' affairs.

It turned out that the idea to seize this Warship was originally The Young Man's. Their family had been fishermen for generations. Among this generation, only the two brothers had decent piloting skills. The younger generation was increasingly unwilling to fish and had all gone to other places to work and seek opportunities.

It was just a coincidence that The Young Man happened to be home when the flood hit...

Usually, the uncle and second uncle were in the cockpit, responsible for driving.

The Young Man was the one in charge of the ship...

Hearing this, Zhou Yan knew he hadn't killed the wrong person!

Second, the man really didn't know who Leng Xiaoya was, but he only knew that the women in the cabin were all snatched by his nephew. Along the way, passing by many residential areas or higher ground where survivors still remained, The Young Man relied on his ability to control ice, freezing the water surface, and used his gun to kill people everywhere to seize supplies and women.

Third, this Warship didn't have as much firepower as Zhou Yan had imagined. The entire close-in weapon system didn't have a single round of ammunition. The ship only had twenty standard-issue firearms and their corresponding ammunition left behind by the troops...

Those patrolling with guns on the deck were all relatives of the bearded man's family.

But while The Young Man's words were mostly fake, there were a few truths.

There really was a piloting manual and a map on the ship!

The bearded man was a sensible person and knew he probably couldn't escape his fate today. After all, the other person had already boarded the ship with a gun; he wouldn't be able to leave without killing him. Although he couldn't figure out how Zhou Yan had swum to the Warship from so far away, he didn't ask.

He simply switched from squatting to kneeling, cupped his hands, and said, "Brother! Spare me! How about I give you the ship?!"

"Snap!" Zhou Yan twisted his neck.

[ordinary blind box + 1]

Picking up the dagger from the bearded man's belt on the floor, Zhou Yan's figure slowly merged with the darkness and disappeared into the shadows of the cabin. Only that absurd smell remained in the air, and the bearded man's slumped body was the signal for the start of this silent cleansing operation...

Zhou Yan did not hesitate. The first target was located in the simple lounge below the bridge, which was also where the patrol guards rested and stood watch.

According to the bearded man, that was usually where The Young Man and the others gathered to play cards and shoot the breeze.

Through the round glass observation port on the iron door, a cold white light shone onto the deck.

Inside the cabin, four people were laughing, cursing, and having a lively time...

Seizing the opportunity, an arm reached out from the darkness and precisely slashed across the carotid artery of the person closest to the door, causing blood to spray...

Another person was sprayed with blood, and before he could react, Zhou Yan's dagger had already arrived!

The black shadow swept past, quickly slicing across the artery in his neck.

The other two finally reacted and instinctively tried to bend down to pick up the guns lined up in the corner, but Zhou Yan was faster!

With a flick of his wrist, the dagger flew across and instantly pinned into the man's throat.

At the same time, he lunged forward, his left hand clamping tightly over the other person's mouth just as it opened, preventing him from shouting out!

His right arm, like an iron pincer, choked his neck tightly, and with a sudden twist!

"Crack!"
