Yang Ke-er and Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped talking at the same time and looked at each other.
"This thing has intelligence. It can sense us from hundreds of meters away when we're discussing here, right?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang said to Yang Ke-er with some surprise. The mutant snake had been very cooperative before, it didn't make any noise, even when it was pulled away and its horn was tied with a chain, it still looked resigned. At most, it would open its mouth to attack a few times, but after Yang Ke-er hit its chin a dozen times with the shield, it didn't even want to open its mouth. Now it was inexplicably making strange noises, wasn't it responding to the conversation between Zhang Xiaoqiang and Yang Ke-er?
"How about … how about we not eat it?
Just keep it like this … Aiyaya … If we keep it, we will be at a disadvantage … We don't have so much food to feed it … "
Yang Ke-er was obviously very resentful of the snake's appetite. She never had a good attitude towards things that could only eat plain rice, especially when she was the nominal owner of this thing.
"It's okay, we will let it eat zombies in the future. It seems that it is not picky, in the future, if there is anything that it doesn't like or can't eat, just throw it all to it. Those things shouldn't kill it in a short time …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang said this with some excitement. What was the most abundant thing before the apocalypse?
The people were the most abundant.
What was the most abundant thing after the apocalypse?
Zombies were the most abundant, in the future, Yang Ke-er didn't need to use the shield anymore, she could just use the chain to lead Blackie ashore to eat zombies. As long as it didn't encounter the type 3 zombies, the rest should be food for the mutant snake.
"Miss Ke Er, please stand below … There is a bend in front …"
A shout came from the cockpit, Yang Ke-er didn't dare to be careless, she jumped to the side of Zhang Xiaoqiang, holding his arm to look ahead. In front of them was a river mouth, the waterline was a bit low, large pieces of soil and rocks were exposed on both sides of the river bank, along with the embankment on the bank, there were two pieces of woodland, one big and one small, corresponding to each other.
The woodland on the right side of the bow was very large, the area was also relatively wide, bright green, large pieces of dead branches dyed the whole river bank brown. The woodland on the left side of the bow was less than one-fifth of the woodland on the opposite side, it was also divided into small pieces, in which there were more than a hundred houses embedded on the riverside, not far behind the houses were large tracts of paddy fields.
The bow of the ship turned slightly to the left. Following the left channel, they slowly went around the bend, and the buildings appeared more clearly in front of them. They had already passed the small village, and what appeared in front of them was a small dock. The dock was not big, but there were many ships. None of them were intact, and the dock was the same. It had become an apocalyptic ruin.
Previously on River Heart Island, Zhang Xiaoqiang had seen a graveyard made up of countless ships. The scale of the graveyard here was not small. Zhang Xiaoqiang even saw a luxury cruise ship with a length of more than 100 meters and a width of nearly 20 meters, with six decks, overturned there.
The huge white hull was lying in the middle of the reddish-brown bulk carriers, like a huge white fish mixed in a school of small fish. However, whether it was the beautiful white fish or the ugly fish, they were all dead.
"That's the Glory luxury cruise ship, currently the world's largest, newest, and most luxurious ferry. It's a hundred and thirty meters long.
It's eighteen meters wide, with 141 standard rooms, ten deluxe suites, two deluxe standard rooms, and a full load of 306 people. Including the crew and service staff, it can reach five or six hundred people … "
The one who spoke was Shangguan Qiaoyun. No one knew when, but Shangguan Qiaoyun stood next to Zhang Xiaoqiang and stared at the huge white ship with him. Her expression was a little complicated, a little sad, and also a little nostalgic.
"Oh … how did you know?
You've been on it before? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the big ship and thought. After the big ship turned over, the place below the waterline was also exposed. With the rusty bottom below, the height of the hull was about 25 meters, and the depth of the draft was close to three meters. Such a big ship was almost the largest ship in the inland river, and also the largest ship that Zhang Xiaoqiang could get on the Yangtze River.
"Yes … In the past, I tried my best to get on the ship and communicate with all kinds of people on it. I learned their way of life, learned their way of talking, and even … forget it … it's useless to say these things. The ship has already sunk, and I'm still alive. What else can I ask for?"
Shangguan Qiaoyun didn't want to think about her past. At that time, J City was too small. In order to get in touch with more people, she worked as a customer service supervisor on the big ship. That was also the only job she had done in her life, and it was a job that she chose to do for the goal in her heart.
"How big is this big ship?
Uh … in other words, how much is it? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to know what Shangguan Qiaoyun had done in the past. In other words, he hated Shangguan Qiaoyun's past because her past had nothing to do with him. At that time, he was just an ordinary citizen who was raped by life and couldn't resist. Now that Shangguan Qiaoyun was his woman, he felt jealous and unhappy when he thought of her being with another man in the past, even if that guy had turned into a dead man.
"8,000 tons … the route is from CQ to NJ, and the crew is 152. If you don't care about space and don't need entertainment, it can carry 5,000 people. At the same time, it can also carry a lot of cargo."
Hearing Shangguan Qiaoyun's answer, Zhang Xiaoqiang was overjoyed. This was exactly what he wanted. With his manpower, he only needed three such big ships to carry them. If he could find a few large container ships, everything would be in place.
"How many of these ships are there in Wuhan City?
Where do they usually stop?
Is it easy to seize? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang hurriedly asked. The luxury cruise ship was the most ideal ship, and Zhang Xiaoqiang had already approved of it. He no longer thought about attacking the shipyards. As long as he could obtain these ships, he would be able to achieve his ultimate goal.
"Just follow the Yangtze River upstream, and you'll find it. It's easy to find …"
"Look … there's someone on the big white ship …"
Yang Ke-er shrieked, and hurriedly pulled on Zhang Xiaoqiang's arm, pointing to Zhang Xiaoqiang. Following the incessant trembling of Yang Ke-er's fingertips, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw a person waving his arms in their direction from the viewing balcony of a lattice cabin on the upper deck of the Glory.
It was a blonde boy who looked to be less than ten years old. His face was very dirty, and his back was bare. His blue eyes were filled with excitement and intense desire. His arms were waving incessantly, and his mouth was opening and closing as if shouting something. Separated by some distance, the boy's voice was shrill. Naturally, Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't hear it clearly. But even if he did, it would be useless. He didn't understand foreign languages.
When Zhang Xiaoqiang saw the boy, he turned to look at Yang Ke-er and Yuan Yi.
"Which one of you is proficient in English?"
Yang Ke-er shook her head, but Shanghai Qiaoyun continued.
"I have some experience with English, but … I can't understand the accent coming from that side …"
"Eh … could it be a dialect?
You know, I can't understand many of the local dialects … "
Zhang Xiaoqiang leaned against the railing and chatted with the two girls. The boy in the distance was still waving his hands with all his might, but Zhang Xiaoqiang was unmoved. He continued to discuss the dialect with Shanghai Qiaoyun.
