Chapter 1240: Chapter 708: Looking to Recruit Followers? Chapter 1240: Chapter 708: Looking to Recruit Followers? It has to be said that the captain still had a rather humane side.
Still, a more important reason was that these smuggled humans had not been able to clean themselves for a long ti, which could foster bacteria and lead to sickness. If an epidemic broke out, the whole ship might be dood.
So, not only did he let Qin Yuan and the rest co out for so fresh air, but he also gave them a chance to clean themselves.
“So, you can now take your toiletries and follow to the bathroom. You’ve got 20 seconds,”
Old Zhang continued.
“Rustle, rustle.”
No sooner had Old Zhang finished speaking than the sounds of rummaging and overturning could be heard around the cabin.
Before long, everyone had their toiletries in hand and was ready to go.
“Very good, everyone is quite fast. Follow .”
Seeing that everyone was ready, Old Zhang turned to lead the way.
More than thirty people in the cabin were like starving refugees, swarming toward the exit.
The cabin door was not large to begin with, and with everyone crowded together, it was impossible to get out.
“What’s the squeeze for? If you waste ti, no one gets to wash!”
Old Zhang turned back and frowned upon seeing the scene.
Hearing this, everyone imdiately stopped, and orderly exited the cabin one by one.
“Don’t talk, don’t look around!”
On the way, Old Zhang added another warning.
Soon after, the crowd followed Old Zhang to the bathroom.
The bathroom was not very big, only capable of accommodating ten people at a ti, and it was the kind without partitions.
Since the crew were all n, whether there were partitions or not didn’t matter.
“Woohoo, got sothing good to look at here.”
Upon learning of this arrangent, Baldy got excited, his lecherous eyes scanning the won before finally resting on Niuniu’s mother.
Of course, with Old Zhang present, he didn’t dare to be too presumptuous.
“Won and children go first, the rest wait outside.”
Old Zhang glanced at Baldy, then addressed everyone else.
Upon hearing this, aside from Qin Yuan and Ling Yu, the faces of other n showed varying degrees of disappointnt.
“Ah, such a pity.”
Baldy even scratched his head and sighed.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, behave yourselves here. Anyone who causes trouble will get a bath in the sea,”
With that warning, the rowdier individuals sheepishly recoiled and quickly beca docile.
“Yuanqing, co with .”
Old Zhang looked towards Qin Yuan, then said to two crew mbers, “Keep an eye on things. I will hold you responsible if sothing happens.”
“Yes!”
The two crew mbers responded in unison.
“Eh, Old Zhang, where are you taking ? I haven’t had my bath yet,”
Qin Yuan followed Old Zhang, asking puzzledly.
“I’m taking you sowhere else to wash, no need to crowd with them.”
Old Zhang responded with a smile.
“Old Zhang, are you doing this favor behind the captain’s back?”
Qin Yuan laughed, finding Old Zhang was quite the smooth operator.
Of course, Qin Yuan didn’t mind washing with the others; he just feared his “weapon” might make the others feel inferior.
“This small matter doesn’t need to bother the captain.”
“That makes sense, thanks, Old Zhang.”
“No need for that, it’s a trifle.”
On this ship, Old Zhang had so clout, an old-tir who had been working for more than ten years.
Apart from the captain and Brother Chen, Old Zhang was the man in charge and oversaw many crew mbers.
Before long, Qin Yuan followed Old Zhang to a room.
With the door opened and the lights switched on, Qin Yuan had to blink at the sudden brightness.
The room was small but neat and tidy, with a bed, a table, and a wardrobe. There weren’t many items, so it didn’t feel cramd.
“Not bad, Old Zhang, this must be your room, right?”
Qin Yuan looked around and asked casually.
“Correct, the captain thinks highly of , giving a single with a bathroom.”
“I have to say, you’ve done well for yourself, Old Zhang. Are you short of people here? I could stay and join you.”
Qin Yuan joked.
“You kid, don’t give lip. Go take your bath, I’ll bring you all out for so fresh air after.”
“Got it!”
Qin Yuan took his clothes and went into the bathroom.
Twenty minutes passed.
“I have to deliver so bad news. This morning, we received a ssage from the teorological station. Right in front of our course, there’s a thunderstorm occurring.”
“So, we can either detour or return to our original position to wait until it’s safe to proceed.”
On the deck stood the freshly bathed people and many crew mbers, divided on either side, with Captain Hong Kai in the middle.
Hong Kai was already 48 years old this year but was still robust, with a loud and clear voice when he spoke.
“Ah?!”
Most of the people near Qin Yuan’s side had looks of bewildernt and panic on their faces upon hearing the news. They had hardly ever been on a boat, let alone across the sea.
“Captain, are we in danger?”
After a few seconds of silence, soone voiced what was on everyone’s mind.
“If we hadn’t learned about the situation in advance and had entered that area, we would have been more likely than not to perish.”
“Now that we can stay away and wait or detour, we’ll be able to arrive safely.”
Captain Hong Kai was easy-going; he wasn’t impatient with these people but patiently explained.
“We don’t know when the storm will stop, but it usually doesn’t last more than ten hours. So, we plan to wait here.”
