Chapter 82. Young people are easy to fool!

"Are you there?"

"!"

Communication Officer Li Rui was using a genuine American accent to threaten several nearby American Warships. Since they were close, everyone was within communication range.

Caught off guard, he was so startled by the "Are you there?" that suddenly came through the speaker that he almost lost his composure!

Communication Officer Li Rui was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing a white naval uniform. He turned around with an ugly expression and looked at the captain at the command console.

The captain made a silent gesture to Communication Officer Li Rui, signaling him to continue the call with Zhou Yan.

"I'm here! Please speak!"

"Your current heading is north. There are ten small Warships tailing you from behind, at a very close distance. I'm afraid you can see them with the naked eye..."

Sea Dragon was silent for a moment, then Communication Officer Li Rui's voice came through: "Information received. Situation acknowledged!"

Zhou Yan asked in a tone that seemed concerned but was actually probing: "What are your plans next? I assume you're not short on fuel anymore, right? Are you continuing north, or looking for an opportunity to return to the mainland?"

This time, Communication Officer Li Rui's reply was swift, without hesitation: "We have a mission. Until the mission is completed or confirmed impossible, Sea Dragon's heading will only point toward the mission area!"

"What mission? Need any help? Or, should I help you navigate to the mission area?"

The other side fell into a long silence, but the sound of clothing rustling transmitted by the WL-01 made Zhou Yan realize that the other side wasn't "silent," but rather engaging in some kind of wordless communication...

Sigh, if only this thing could be used for surveillance...

"Thank you, providing the heading information is already enough for our military!"

After Communication Officer Li Rui finished speaking, he fell into silence again.

Zhou Yan sighed. Gaining the trust of this isolated maritime force was truly a difficult problem...

If it works, it works. If it doesn't, he still had the system. Sea Dragon wasn't that tempting to Zhou Yan...

He put away the WL-01 and returned to the deck.

His gaze swept over the crowd. Some people hadn't even eaten, and their clothes were slovenly. It looked like they had mental health issues!

Having survived in an extreme environment for so long, they had already developed a twisted adaptation mechanism in their hearts.

After all, the abusers had once controlled their survival resources and even their lives. To survive, they had to endure the violent abuse from the abusers.

Even though they had been rescued, Zhou Yan could see that a few women had almost no one around them. Everyone stayed far away from those few women, clearly very afraid of them.

This was a hierarchy that had emerged within the victim "group" to compete for limited survival resources or slightly better treatment.

Zhou Yan glanced at them, then looked away as if nothing had happened. If there was anyone in this group with the most severe Stockholm syndrome, it had to be those five women.

Whatever!

If they dare to cause trouble, throw them all down to feed the fish!

Once the women were dressed, and Wang Youde and Wu Yang had distributed food to them, they leaned on the deck railing and chatted idly.

Li Meng expressed regret that Wang Zeyu couldn't come aboard to enjoy such scenery. After all, the women on the boat were dressed a bit too "skimpy" at this time.

Watching Zhou Yan beckon everyone to get on the boat to return to Building 16, Zhang Dongxue also breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her big brother would leave the three of them on the boat to guard these women.

Arriving at the window of Building 16, Zhou Yan notified them that they would have hot pot tonight. He also gave Wang Youde a considerable amount of ingredients to take home. After all, when laying the Floating Bridge earlier, the little supermen in his family had put in a lot of effort.

Everyone got off the boat. Zhou Yan turned off the lights on the boat, and the water surface immediately fell into pitch-black darkness...

Tonight, there was no moon.

The dark clouds were thick, the sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain.

With a casual sweep over the speedboat, the entire boat was instantly retracted into the system. Only then did Zhou Yan return home to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot tonight.

As soon as he opened the door, Su Yanqiu's inquisitive gaze looked over instantly.

Zhou Yan looked over, observing the system's analysis results:

"Uh..."

Su Yanqiu's physique wasn't that strong either, but it was actually higher than Wang Zeyu's?

Could it be that this kid Wang Zeyu has become this weak after getting a girlfriend?

If he gets some supplements later, he should give him some to build him up...

But, how did Li Meng become that weak without a girlfriend?

He hugged Su Yanqiu and pinched the face of Yan Yue, who was pouting because she wasn't the first one to be hugged.

"Hmm... Yan Yue's body is still pretty good... It's just that her spirit seems a bit off..."

Is her spirit that poor?

What is she thinking about all day? Why is it so exhausting?

"Is the Warship settled?"

Su Yanqiu looked at Zhou Yan with some worry, her soft little hands touching Zhou Yan's chest, fearing he might be injured...

"I'm doing great! No injuries!" Zhou Yan smiled and pulled the worried sisters into his arms.

Holding one in each arm, then looking at the sisters' intimacy, he was in a great mood!

"I promised Wang Zeyu and Li Meng that I'd treat them to hot pot tonight..."

As Zhou Yan spoke, he loosened his hands, flipped his palm, and three boxes of lamb and three boxes of beef appeared on the shoe cabinet at the entrance, stacked neatly.

However, they weren't sliced meat, but whole chunks of boneless meat.

Six portions, twelve jin, that should be enough to eat, right?

Yan Yue frowned. She knew that Zhou Yan was definitely going to invite a big group of people to eat together.

Her little brows immediately furrowed: "Hot pot... We have so many people now, how big of a pot would we need? And we wouldn't be able to sit down..."

"How about this! Let's have a barbecue instead?" Zhou Yan suggested.

"Okay!" Yan Yue clapped her hands in surprise. "I've been craving lamb skewers for a long time! Using an electric grill, we can cook a lot at once, it's fast and fragrant!"

"Sure, but we have to skewer them. Do you have skewers?"

"Yes! I have them at home, and I have an electric grill too!" Su Yanqiu nodded.

"Why don't I see Bai Qi and Zhuang Yan?" Zhou Yan searched the room, but didn't find the two of them.

"Wang Youde repaired our door and is preparing it for Zhuang Yan to live in. Bai Qi and Zhang Yajing are helping her clean up..." Yan Yue said.

The moment the door opposite was opened, Zhou Yan also saw Zhang Yajing's panel:

[Physique: 5 (Healthy) Spirit: 8 (Healthy) Psychology: 8 (Healthy) Relationship Analysis with User: 70% (Confidant)]

"Hmm... That counts as qualified..."

But when he turned his head and saw Zhuang Yan's analysis, the corners of Zhou Yan's mouth twitched slightly.

[Analysis Results: Physique: 9 (Healthy) Spirit: 15 (Awakened) Psychology: 8 (Healthy) Relationship Analysis with User: 29% (Frank and honest)]

Zhou Yan was truly surprised. After all, this number wasn't low for Zhuang Yan!

Zhuang Yan wasn't stupid either. She knew who she could follow to live a good life, didn't she?

Zhou Yan then informed them that everyone would be having a barbecue tonight. He had brought Yan Yue back to get the electric grill and barbecue skewers.

Everyone was very pleasantly surprised. Even Bai Qi, who was cleaning the room for Zhuang Yan, ran up to Zhou Yan excitedly, saying she could be responsible for skewering.

Seeing Bai Qi, Zhou Yan felt a surge of joy!

The young are indeed easier to trick...
