Chapter 81 The Advantage Lies With Me

Those brand-new rifles and the military-green special boxes—there was no need to even think about it; they definitely contained ammunition!

"Gulp..." Wang Huan swallowed hard, the flames of jealousy and greed churning endlessly in his heart.

The Thin Tall Guy was truly one of a kind; he pointed towards Zhou Yan's direction with exaggerated movements, shouting excitedly, terrified that Zhou Yan wouldn't notice him.

Zhou Yan picked up the last Type 191 assault rifle, checked the ejection port, and suddenly raised the rifle to aim at Wang Huan and the Thin Tall Guy at the window of Building 17. The two of them were so scared they jerked their heads back, hiding beneath the window sill and not daring to show their faces...

"Big Brother! What do we do! He looks like he wants to kill us!"

The Thin Tall Guy panicked.

"It's fine! Don't panic! Tonight, we won't sleep. In the middle of the night, when he's not paying attention, we'll go over and steal his speedboat!" Wang Huan hatched a plan. If you can sleep while clutching your gun at night, I don't believe you can sleep while clutching your boat too.

"Will it work?" The Thin Tall Guy was a bit hesitant...

"Don't worry! It'll definitely work! That kid on night duty is a total idiot. It's two against one; we've got this in the bag!"

Wang Huan gritted his teeth, only his eyes visible above the window sill... staring fixedly at Wu Yang, who was busy moving ammunition boxes on the other side.

That kid looks like someone whose brain doesn't work too fast!

If we can trick him, we will; if we can't, we'll do it the hard way!

Two against one, the advantage is mine!

"Big Brother, someone over there is peeking..."

Wu Yang kept his head lowered on purpose, avoiding looking in the direction of Building 17, and whispered to Zhou Yan.

"Yeah, that guy has a grudge against me. Be careful when you're on night duty. From now on, don't stay up all night by yourself; take turns with Li Meng and Wang Zeyu..."

Zhou Yan looked at Wu Yang, feeling a bit sorry for him.

It wasn't that the other two guys bullied him; it was just that Wu Yang was too honest and hardworking.

Li Meng and Wang Zeyu knew how to handle things and often helped out, but only Wu Yang would do the heavy lifting. However, there wasn't that much heavy labor right now, so Wu Yang was idle most of the time.

So, the kid wouldn't go wake Li Meng and Wang Zeyu to take over his shift. If those two woke up in the middle of the night, they might get up to switch, but if they didn't, Wu Yang wouldn't take the initiative to call them.

"A grudge? Didn't you just save them, Big Brother? Didn't they break into Building 17?" Wu Yang asked, a bit confused.

Zhou Yan was speechless.

According to the system's analysis, the relationship between the two belonged to the "sworn enemy" level.

Did I grab his kid and jump into a well?

Such a huge grudge?

"It doesn't matter, he's just a piece of trash. Next time you're on duty, if he dares to come over, beat him to death. If there are many of them, use your gun. Tonight, when you're on duty, keep a gun with you!"

"Mm-hmm!" Wu Yang nodded, picked up a rifle, and slung it over his shoulder.

"That's an empty gun, it has no bullets. Don't forget to load the magazine tonight!" Zhou Yan said, looking at the gun on Wu Yang's back.

"You can rest easy when I'm on the job!" Wu Yang patted his chest, guaranteeing it.

Zhou Yan looked at Wu Yang's honest figure, the unease in his heart finally turning into a sigh that he exhaled.

Wu Yang simply didn't have the kind of look that made Zhou Yan feel at ease...

He patted Wu Yang on the shoulder: "Alright, come with me to move the compressed biscuits and canned food piled on the 6th Floor and take them to the women on the boat..."

The two walked to the small room that served as a temporary warehouse, counted out a portion of food, and added it to the emergency military rations left on the boat; it should be enough to last them for a while.

"Big Brother, why don't we let them move over here directly? That way, we could have them catch fish!"

"They are severely injured right now, and I'm worried. Let's wait until their injuries heal a bit, then we'll see..."

Actually, there was something Zhou Yan didn't say directly.

Among those women, a significant portion had already lost the will to live, and others were severely injured. If they all flooded into Building 16 at once, who knew how many would turn into merfolk.

Zhou Yan wasn't afraid; in fact, to him, it could even be considered a good thing. After all, ordinary people could only provide him with ordinary blind boxes, while merfolk could provide super blind boxes!

But the other ordinary people would be scared!

Let's wait until the people on the boat who are supposed to die are mostly gone, then move the survivors into Building 16...

Wu Yang nodded, seemingly understanding, but not quite. Anyway, whatever Big Brother said always made sense.

After the supplies were loaded, the speedboat headed toward the Warship under the cover of night. Upon boarding the deck, Zhou Yan called Zhang Dongxue aside and gave her concise instructions:

"Sister-in-law, explain this clearly to everyone: First, staying on the boat for now is for safety, not because we don't care about them.

Second, we will deliver food and water regularly.

Third, as soon as we have completely cleared out Building 16 and arranged accommodations, we will immediately bring them over. Tell them to rest easy and not let their imaginations run wild!"

Zhang Dongxue knew that Building 16 had already been cleared once. Although she didn't understand why Zhou Yan said that, he must have his reasons!

She nodded and walked toward the crowd on the deck to begin comforting them...

The corpses on the boat had already been thrown into the water under Zhang Dongxue's direction. Although this was a good thing, Zhou Yan still felt a bit of regret...

He had originally wanted to keep the corpses to use as bait for fishing for merfolk...

Wang Youde and Li Meng were lying on the close-in weapon system at the bow of the Warship, discussing just how terrifying the combat power of this big guy could be.

Seeing Zhou Yan return, Wang Youde shook his head with some regret.

"This thing looks like a huge hunk of metal, but in reality, a significant portion of its structure is hidden inside the Warship. I can't dismantle it..."

Zhou Yan gave Old Wang a thumbs up.

Impressive, you actually wanted to move it away?

I wouldn't even dare to think about that!

"Even if we could dismantle it, it's useless. We don't have ammunition, and we don't even know what caliber of bullets this thing uses..."

Li Meng's hand hadn't left the close-in weapon system; he caressed the cold metal surface as if touching a lover, his face full of regret: 'This ship... it's such a pity...'

Zhou Yan considered mentioning that he had once made contact with a more advanced destroyer, the Sea Dragon, and that ship's armament was much fiercer than this one!

This Warship only had one close-in weapon system, but that Sea Dragon had 112 vertical launch cells!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan suddenly wanted to see where the Sea Dragon was.

He walked down the stairs into the cabin and took out the WL-01.

The light screen flashed, the communication map zoomed in, and Zhou Yan began searching for the signal location of the Sea Dragon.

"This... is this... did it go to refuel?"

The map showed that the Sea Dragon's current location was near a port in America, and there were quite a few weak signal points around the Sea Dragon, docked in the distance, not daring to approach it at all! They could only circle it from afar...

And at this moment, the Sea Dragon had already departed from that port and was sailing toward the north!

After the Sea Dragon had slowly moved away for a distance, Zhou Yan realized that at the location where it had previously stopped, there were several intermittent, weak signals left behind...

That makes sense; the ports are all submerged in water, where would there be fuel...

It must have beaten those ships into submission and robbed... borrowed fuel from them!

Zhou Yan stared silently at the communication map, his expression unreadable...

How should I make this Sea Dragon my own?

[Communication channel established!]

"Are you there?"
