I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 991 - 1081: Spend Wisely, Save Sensibly, Collect More Dubai Trash for Cargo Ships
This is also the middle of the night when no one was paying attention, so we quickly ran, otherwise, if we ran during the day, the distance between us would be too close, and Old Yi’s missiles would have a hard time hitting.
Originally, there weren’t supposed to be so many ships in the plan. Now with dozens more ships, the speed has slowed a bit, but it’s not a big problem.
In the middle of the night, everyone was called to the official ship for a meeting. Some of the older ones couldn’t keep their eyes open, but young people like Jing Shu had their eyes wide open, full of energy.
Old Zhou sipped his wolfberry tea, waving his hand: "Hurry up and distribute the stuff, I still need to catch up on sleep, getting old, not as good as you young people at pulling all-nighters."
"Hehehe."
"We didn’t stay in Dubai for long this time anyway."
"Not bad though, we freeloaded a meal and a hotel stay, I even managed to stash away some things from the hotel."
"What? You’re so shameless?"
"Old Zhang, do you have any face left? You took the gold bricks off the people’s pool, don’t think I didn’t see it. Old Wang next door even took the bed away."
Jing Shu: "..."
These teammates of mine, honestly, they’d pluck a bird flying in the sky for its feathers.
Over thirty oil ships; Jing Shu and the official team had to divide them. Jing Shu got less than seventeen ships’ worth of oil, and the rest was for the officials. Then Old Zhou took out two more for others to share. Based on the contributions, they also got hundreds of barrels each, super satisfying.
Yang Yang added the official’s oil to the official ship, saving ten ships, which conserves a lot of fuel.
As for Jing Shu—
She directly had those newly arrived oil ships follow around her ferries and cargo ships, then had the rotten mermaids push and pull them in groups.
In terms of power, it’s not as fast as a speedboat, but it saves fuel. Over such a long distance, so many ships would consume a lot of fuel, and that’s all money!
Jing Shu even instructed the ferry’s crew to reduce the engine power, using the lowest throttle for the most fuel-efficient method. Once started, they’d leave the rest to the rotten mermaids under the sea.
Zhang Yicheng could keep a poker face as he had the crews on these ships stop the engines. As he expected, even if the ships weren’t running, they would still ’move’.
After dividing the oil, Yang Yang roughly talked about upcoming issues and asked everyone to be ready for battle at any time, then the meeting adjourned.
Those who needed rest, got their rest.
Those who needed to work, did their work.
When Big Yellow Teeth, sleepy and about to head back to sleep, discovered Tan Ke and his Situ Xiaoye hand-twisting iron chains. Piled up next to them were iron blocks like mountains.
Big Yellow Teeth stood still, his brain slow to react, asking, "What are you guys doing?"
Tan Ke: "Twisting iron chains!"
Jing Shu walked up from the side, nodding: "I asked them to twist."
She had Tan Ke and Situ Xiaoye twist the iron chains. These two had great strength, twisting iron chains manually, and they did it quickly and well. She believed within half a day, they’d twist enough iron chains for pulling the big ferries.
Big Yellow Teeth pondered for a moment: "Why twist so many iron chains?"
Jing Shu replied, "To bring them back to Huaxia to sell."
"Where did so many come from?"
The whole ship was piled full, and they weren’t there when he disembarked yesterday.
Jing Shu blinked: "During dinner in Dubai last night, I had people go to the city and pick up luxury cars no one wanted."
Upon hearing this, Big Yellow Teeth had a ’I missed a billion-dollar opportunity’ look: "Miss Jing, why didn’t you call me when you went garbage picking? I still have over a hundred zombies at my command!"
"It was a spur of the moment thing," Jing Shu laughed. They were actually about to leave, but thinking they couldn’t leave Dubai empty-handed, she had the insects pick up garbage under the cover of night, and indeed, they picked up quite a bit.
Right now, there are still quite a few insects in Dubai collecting garbage, but they’ll wait to join the main fleet later.
So twisting iron chains, naturally, is to put on the ferries, so more rotten mermaids can pull or push them, otherwise, there wouldn’t be anywhere for them to exert force.
Once her batch of iron chains is twisted, they can have all the ships pulled by the rotten mermaids, wondering how much fuel this can save.
And when they reach Huaxia, they can sell the iron chains, another pile of money, delightful indeed.
Big Yellow Teeth, sleepy and with dawn near, couldn’t think straight, just mumbling that if they’re taken back to sell, why bother twisting them?
Situ Xiaoye twisted earnestly, as once he finished, he’d get plenty of dried fish, his favorite snack.
Jing Shu also went to catch up on sleep; she had a feeling there wouldn’t be much sleep in the forthcoming days.
A fleet of over a hundred ships quietly sailed in the sea. Every vessel was heavily loaded and was running with increased power, but dragging such heavy cargo inevitably slowed the speed.
By the time the Second Prince and the Prince realized it, the Huaxia people had been running for several hours.
The Second Prince smashed everything in his room to pieces, as those Huaxia people had run off with his oil. If they were within Dubai’s range, he would’ve had ways, but they’re gone, what can his land-based power do?
The Prince sneered coldly: "My foolish brother sent people to chase them? We should also be prepared."
The servant next to him spoke with a slight tremor: "Are you really going to use missiles?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The Prince’s voice turned even colder: "He went after the Huaxia people and got killed by them; we use missiles to kill the Huaxia people to avenge him. Isn’t that only natural?"
