I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 937 - 1026: Which Route to Take

Jing Shu smiled silently, "They’ll follow us, this is our commission this time, we can’t be targets at the back."

Zhang Yicheng was quite puzzled, but still recorded as Jing Shu requested. After all, as the boss’s personal secretary, whatever the boss says goes.

He remembered how he once just slightly questioned why the boss brought so much water, and later got a harsh lesson, so now, whatever Boss Jing Shu says, just goes. Even if these ships have no fuel and not even any crew arranged, Zhang Yicheng now believed that there must be ghosts on these ships, capable of running on their own.

"Roger that!"

Jing Shu was very satisfied with Zhang Yicheng’s obedience, patted his shoulder indicating he should work hard, promising extra meals tonight, then left to check out the haul of her employees.

What can we say, this time on the road, we picked up quite a lot of things. Important supplies were given to the higher-ups, but they in turn earned us a lot of Contribution points.

By the way, last time she swiped all the ammunition from the entire strategist base, just now, to her joy and surprise, the scorers and recorders finally finished recording everything. She didn’t even look at the long list, she just scrolled down to the bottom to see the staggering figures, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions!

A total of 17 million Contribution points!

"Holy moley, I’m rich this time!" Jing Shu swallowed hard, recalling her half a month of hard work selling water, only earning less than hundreds of thousands of Contribution points. Even that much was enough to make the entire Elite Bodyguard Team envious.

And now, each person kills one Power User for just dozens to a hundred Contributions, accumulating few could only get a few hundred to a thousand, more so tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

But unlike Jing Shu’s crazy amounts, just this one time, she scored 17 million Contribution points? Now wasn’t that enough to even trade for a missile?

Speaking of which, when Zhen Nantian comes to exchange that Blackie nuclear bomb, who knows how many Contribution points Jing Shu can earn this time, Oh right, there’s also a special gift from Su Malie.

But due to the change in itinerary, they were supposed to meet up at Hansi, but now as they’re on the run, Zhen Nantian’s schedule changed too, and they don’t know where they’ll meet up next.

Jing Shu rubbed her hands, quite like having a small tail wagging joyfully if she had one.

"Extra meals today, everyone gets extra meals!" Jing Shu announced happily.

Now Jing Shu faces a new issue, that is the ever-growing amount of stuff and nearly 20 ships she hijacked, all of various sizes, yet now she lacks crew to sail them!

On Xiao Wei’s insect ferry’s first deck, Guo Tou was hammering away, said to be making a new bed for Xiao Wei who had gotten a bit chubby, breaking the old one.

Meanwhile, Wen Jun was counting the seized goods.

As for Xiao Wei, she was in the ship’s central hall, picking and choosing things she liked.

The ship’s central area was piled high with items, some damaged collectibles, some precious jewelry, all collected from those hundred ships.

Jing Shu coughed to get everyone’s attention: "Xiao Wei, can we discuss something?"

Xiao Wei raised her head but kept her massive tentacles picking through the shiny collectibles, saying, "Jing Shu, it’s us, just say it, I agree."

Jing Shu chuckled, "About your people, I see they usually don’t have much to do, why not train them all to sail? We lack crew, right? Compared to locals, of course, it’s better to trust our own people."

Xiao Wei seemed a bit worried, "But, I don’t know if they’d agree or not."

Jing Shu held up three fingers, "Three meals and a midnight snack, plus fruits and an egg. That’s about the same as what I feed my soldiers."

"Cough cough!" Guo Tou immediately raised his hand, "I can do it, I’ll say yes on behalf of those idling villagers."

Jing Shu smiled, it seemed she made the right move feeding only Xiao Wei before, now by offering more benefits, her village labor just got motivated?

After dealing with worries, their two-hour rest period ended.

The once cumbersome fleet was now split into two groups, one with powerful ships racing towards Saudi Arabia, numbering about 250 ships.

The other 100 or so ships followed leisurely behind, but these were stripped to bare bones, retaining only some fuel and crew, plus two battleships and two Power User teams.

Anyone trying to rob them would shake their heads, tsk, it’s as empty as air in there, come raiding just to get a nearly empty fuel ship, and nothing else.

These freight ships weren’t scarce in pirate eyes anymore, even towing it back to sell resources was probably a waste of time.

Of course, pirates lacked those fully armed battleships and ammunition.

One might ask, why keep two elite teams and battleships then?

Aren’t they just fishing?

Besides, they also have to escort these empty ships to Saudi Arabia leisurely, just at that time, the teammates must have swiped some supplies by then and just needed ships for transport.

...

Soon, the two fleets drifted apart, and in no time, they vanished from each other’s sight.

Jing Shu was quite looking forward to the place they’re heading. Unfortunately, it’s not for touring, but restocking.

"Jing Shu, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Jing Shu snapped back, apologizing as she had been delivering a piglet, for the piglets were numerous and large, causing the sow some difficulty, but nothing too serious. The animals in her space were known for their resilience, a little push and it was done.

Fresh from delivery, Jing Shu asked, "Think about what?"

Yang Yang coughed beside her, "About the route to Saudi Arabia, you see, if we take this line, it’s definitely faster and more convenient, but the downside is there are too many people on this route, and our target is too big, sure to attract a lot of attention from various forces."

Jing Shu nodded.

Yang Yang continued, "If we take this other route, it’ll be with the slower ships behind. It’s very remote; there are almost no ships. The downside is that the journey takes four days instead of two, and there are many hidden reefs below, though there’s no pirate threat, it’s still dangerous by nature."

After listening, Jing Shu smiled slightly and said, "Comparing these two routes, you missed a pro and con."

"Oh? Which one? What are the pros and cons?"
