Chapter 281 Caravan Sets Sail
...
When the sun rises again, no, it should be said that when the artificial solar lamp is lit again.
At the port, the zombies and puppets had to work overtime all night because of a decision made by Captain Gul, and they really wanted to say thank you.
A breeze blows,
All I saw were red flags waving in the bay.
Twelve merchant ships fully loaded with cargo were lined up neatly on the shore waiting to set sail. The draft of the ships was more than one meter greater than that of the empty ships yesterday.
The hull is painted with black-brown tung oil, with golden decorative lines, and red sails and flags. It is the classic red and black color scheme of the Han army, and its appearance is very resistant to criticism.
Each ship is equipped with a dozen zombie sailors, who all wear red and black work clothes. In order not to scare ordinary people, they also wear safety helmets, sunglasses and masks.
The 12 ships were divided into two teams.
It is planned that Mosan will lead a team to the Seven Water City, guarded by Moria, John, Hammer and Long Sword, three elite monsters; Tezoro will lead another team to the Sabaody Archipelago, guarded by Senior, Silver Axe, Black Claw and Musket.
...
"I'm not worried about the trade at all. Without me here, you need to pay special attention to the supply issues."
"Okay, Captain. I'll remember all of that."
said Funi and Stella, who were sailing together as deputies.
"Yeah, girls are more careful, I'll feel more at ease if you guys go with me."
"Don't worry, Captain. This round trip will only take about ten days or half a month, and it won't take a month at most. There are so many supplies on the ship, and the zombies don't even need to eat or drink. With just a few of us, we can't finish eating even if we spend a year."
Mosan said with a relaxed smile, after all, he was a man who dared to make a living on the sea with only a small merchant ship and a group of sailors with different aspirations. In comparison, the current conditions are simply top-notch.
"Yeah, by the way, you guys must remember that safety always comes first. To me, your lives are more important than anything else. Lao Mo, Senior, you two can fly. If the situation is not right, let the elite monsters cover the retreat, and then take the people with you as soon as possible. There is no need to fight head-on just to save face. It won't be too late for us to call Brother Qi to get back at him..."
Captain Gel was like an old mother whose son was going on a long journey, nagging and instructing Senior and Moria along the way.
"Don't worry, Captain! You didn't worry so much when you let Ajin and the other kids go out to train. We are all adults and we know the importance of things."
Both of them had almost callused ears, but they felt warm in their hearts and kept nodding in agreement.
...
"Little Lord!"
Seeing Gel arrive at the port, the six zombie generals who had been waiting there to board the ship saluted.
"Do your best to protect the fleet and don't let me down."
Gel gave some encouragement.
"Yes! Young Master!"
Finally, we can go out to fight on the sea again! Silver Axe John and the other six showed excitement, put on their helmets and visors, and boarded the ship.
Brooke followed Lab and the children out on an adventure. Weevil, Barrett, Tom, Kokoro, and Kurokas and Fate, who were still on the island, also came to the port to see the fleet off.
Although caravan voyages will probably become the norm in the future, this is the first time after all, so it is still a little formal.
"Go! Go! Have a nice trip."
Captain Gel, who just realized that he was being too nagging, waved his hand and said in a straightforward manner.
"Yeah! Goodbye Captain and everyone else, we'll be back soon."
A group of people boarded the boat while chatting and laughing, and waved goodbye to everyone on the shore.
The gate of the Bird's Nest opened and the fleet began to set sail.
Gel and his group stood at the harbor and watched the fleet leave the gate and gradually disappear into the fog.
...
"Boom~!"
The metal gate slowly closed and the water in the inner bay returned to calm.
Now that they were there, Gel decided to take Weeble and Barrett to the dock to feed the dogs.
"Beep~!"
A familiar whistle sounded, and soon a dozen dog-headed sea beasts emerged from the sea.
"Wow, brother, that's a lot!"
Weibull said excitedly, his eyes as excited as if he saw a male and female Latiao give birth to a bunch of little Latiao.
"There will be more when puppies are born!"
Gel said with a smile, and then bought more than ten tons of dog food.
Last month, the two male dogs, A Da and A Er, seduced a group of female dogs from somewhere. Now they form a family of dog-headed sea beasts, guarding the Bird's Nest Bay and the surrounding waters, and starting a happy sexual life of polygamy.
Captain Gel shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he was the one who traveled through time, but in the end, it was these two dogs who opened the harem? It's really a series of people being worse than dogs.
Jealousy can make people unrecognizable. Gel took Weeble and Barrett off their shoes and sat on the shore. While soaking their feet, they poured bags of dog food into the sea. He was mainly worried that Dada and Erda would choke if they ate too fast, so they could drink some foot washing water.
A dozen or so foreign wild female sea beasts were a little shy at first and dared only watch from a distance, just like meeting the other party's parents for the first time. Later, when they saw their own men being so open and even licking their feet, they slowly let down their guard and swam to the three people and began to happily enjoy the food.
"Captain, what are we going to do next?"
Barrett asked.
"What? Can't you stay idle anymore?"
Gel continued to pour the dog food in his hand.
Barrett frowned, thought for a while, and then said:
"It's not that I can't stay here. I exercise and eat every day, exercise and eat. I can feel my body getting stronger every day. This kind of life is what I pursue. With Weibull here, I can solve the problem of finding opponents. It's mainly because everyone has their own responsibilities to do. It always feels a bit strange for me to do nothing."
Oh, that’s good. You can think about problems from the perspective of the team. That’s progress.
Gel smiled with relief.
"You are not doing nothing. Working hard to become stronger is your responsibility. This is also helping the team. Also, you will have to teach those brats when they come back. But don't worry. We are born to be hard workers. There are still many things waiting for us to do. Take this opportunity to stop for a while and improve your strength. When the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce are on track, I will take you out to fight with the strong men of this era. Don't let me down then, Captain."
"Hey, got it, Captain! I'm going to go exercise first then!"
Barrett showed his signature cruel smile when he heard this, then emptied several sacks of dog food in his hand and got up to go to the training ground on the island.
Looking at Barrett's hurried back, Geer smiled and then continued to enjoy the foot massage with Weibull.
"Hey! Weibull, that's for the dogs! Why are you eating it yourself?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, brother, but it obviously tastes delicious!"
"Ah, I'll kick him over and make him fall down quickly."
"Oh, I'm sorry, brother."
Seeing that Weevil was eating the dog food when he wasn't paying attention, Gel was speechless. If someone didn't know, they would have thought that the child was so hungry that he even ate the dog food.
Then Ger bought some popcorn and fried chicken nuggets, and the two brothers sat on the shore and ate.
