I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 882 - 971: The Ragtag Fleet So Poor Even Pirates Shake Their Heads VS The First Stop in the Middle East
Anna almost couldn’t help but throw up. What on earth was hidden on the ship? Why was it so smelly? As soon as Anna opened the door, she was engulfed by an endless stench of rotten corpse insects, and she instantly felt like she had fallen into a cesspool.
Anna coughed violently. When she saw everything clearly, she couldn’t help but gag again.
Who! Who would fill such a luxurious ferry with these filthy things! Why on earth would anyone put these useless, dog-inedible rotten corpse insects here? Aren’t there plenty of them in the sea? Why put them all on the ship? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
After being submerged, Anna barely managed to escape from the cesspool; her loud noise surprisingly didn’t attract any guards—
Which means, it indicates there must be no guards.
It gives the false impression that there’s nothing valuable here!
But in fact, it’s definitely a facade. Because if the ship owner wasn’t out of their mind, they wouldn’t put so many useless rotten corpse insects here.
With so many ships, based on Anna’s years of pirate experience, heavily laden means the cargo is very heavy. There’s no way all hundred ships are filled with these rotten corpse insects, right? Even assuming the worst, surely these people wouldn’t bear the high cost of fuel just to transport these stinking rotten corpse insects?
Right, it must be like that, Anna comforted herself, then started exploring ship by ship.
However, next—
Ugh!
yue!
Anna had become reekingly stinky; every time she opened a door, it was filled with the same rotting corpse insects. She couldn’t remember how many ships she had explored. But aside from these rotten corpse insects, there were also some ships entirely filled with bizarre plants.
She thought these plants might be food, but they were completely soaked in the rotting corpse insects’ mucus. She endured her nausea and ate a bit of the plant’s fruit skin, finally vomiting it all out due to acid reflux.
"This hundred-ship fleet is damn sick, bringing so many things, and all of them are these rotten corpse insects!"
The pirates eagerly waited for Anna to return, but what came back was an Anna reeking like crap.
"Yue, commander, this fleet is really sick!" Anna sobbed as she recounted her ordeal.
Just as she was speaking, the pirates’ alarm sounded—
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!" The shrill cries echoed across the sea.
Anna’s expression tightened. She saw that the hundred-ship fleet had now split into countless smaller teams, like wolves who hadn’t tasted meat in hundreds of years, shedding tears of cruelty upon seeing them—
For a moment, Anna was confused; who were the real pirates here??
Meanwhile.
Jing Shu and her team were in the main ship’s conference room, laughing their heads off.
The whole room was laughing so hard their eyes were tearing up.
On the screen in the middle, they were replaying Anna’s exploration of the ships one by one.
"Let’s say, we really had a hard time getting these pirates on the hook; we even opened the door for them, yet they didn’t bite."
"This woman is also funny; after seeing one ship, she wouldn’t give up and checked every single one. If she had gone a few more ships forward, she would have reached the place where we hid the wine. Why didn’t she look ahead?"
"Maybe she was in despair. Our ships really don’t have anything to attract thieves. People wouldn’t steal shiploads of rotten corpse insects, right?"
"Alas, this time we only attracted a few small fry; the larger ships didn’t bite."
This battle only lasted a couple of hours, and they seized more than a dozen small broken ships and a big ship. You might say being a pirate is quite wealthy, at least the food on the ships was better than theirs.
The elite guards, who’ve gotten a taste of it, acted like hungry wolves, constantly dressing up as pitiful on the sea, looking for pirates.
However, somehow news got out, and pirates had their own communication methods. Within ten days, no pirate dared to approach this filthy, stinking, and poor fleet on the entire sea.
In pirate circles, a saying spread about a fleet that specialized in exploiting poor pirates, filling their ships with rotten corpse insects to increase the draft to lure other pirates into robbing them, only to turn around and rob them in return.
Thus, in the following days, even though the fleet released several small fish and allowed them to deliver messages, even giving them some beer to show the pirates that they weren’t really poor, they indeed had supplies, urging them to rob them because they were really about to starve.
But it only made the pirates more wary and avoidant.
They didn’t even have the desire to unite and attack, which was really disappointing.
Fine, since even the pirates weren’t taking the bait, what else could they do but speed up and reach the Middle East.
During these days, Jing Shu didn’t idle and cleared the Magic Cube Space again, freeing up a lot of space, waiting to fill it up when the time comes.
Next was brewing beer, frantically brewing beer.
First of all, as decent, moral young people, since we’re visiting another country, we should behave ourselves and be courteous. We stand on the moral high ground, right? We’re all nice people, very nice people, we’re just a group of wealthy Huaxia people coming to the distant Middle East to sell a bit of Huaxia specialty, that’s all.
We just have a little money; each of us is a fat, fat sheep, just waiting to be slaughtered! Then, hehe, then reveal our devilish fangs.
Yes, there’s a saying in Huaxia, we’re just doing a bit of fishing enforcement.
Thus, before going to the Middle East, we still need to put on a show, looking like wealthy people throwing money around like dirt. You’d think, who would show their greedy teeth?
For this, Old Zhou is pretending to be the president of the Zhou Group from Huaxia, personally coming to the Middle East to expand business and planning to buy a large piece of land in every major region.
And the rest of the group, naturally, are playing the roles of bodyguards and the president’s rich second-generation sons and daughters.
Why have rich second-generation sons and daughters? Naturally, because that’s the ’weakness,’ you’d think someone might have the idea of robbing and kidnapping hostages?
Then, after kidnapping these seemingly idle rich second generations back home, and when they demand a ransom from the wealthy president, they’d find out, holy hell, you guys don’t follow the rules, how come the rich kids are all power users?? Just a clean sweep.
And coincidentally, since the rich kids have to have extraordinary combat power, Jing Shu plays the role of the president’s eldest daughter, outwardly adored as the most cherished Miss Zhou of the Zhou Family!
"Well, our first stop in the Middle East has arrived, let’s start with a small country and get the word out. I’d imagine many people don’t know about our arrival yet??"
