I nodded seriously, saying nothing more.
Everything I was doing now was in preparation for that day.
If that day truly arrived, I would have no choice but to face it head-on.
But I was never one to just wait for fate to decide; if others didn't provoke me, I might not make a move.
However, if they recklessly sought trouble, I certainly wouldn't tolerate them disrespecting me.
Lin Chun seemed to be drunk, lying on a chair resting.
Just as I was about to lie down, I suddenly heard a woman's cry from somewhere.
The crying lasted only a moment before it vanished.
My gaze turned to Luo Yaqin, who looked puzzled.
My hearing was now far better than others. If I could hear it, it meant something had indeed happened.
"It seems there are other people here!" I stood up and said.
Hearing this, Lin Chun, still groggy, glanced at me, "Aren't we all here?"
"I think I heard a woman crying!" I said.
Before I finished speaking, Lin Chun's drunkenness completely disappeared, his eyes fixed on me, "Are you serious?"
I gave a wry smile.
The environment on this island was like this, the conditions were like this. All the mercenaries who had come so far were men.
The savages I brought with me were also chosen for their combat ability.
They were all normal men with normal physiological needs. Upon hearing my words, Lin Chun's expression instantly became interesting.
"You rest here, I'll go and look…" I said.
"I'll go with you!" Lin Chun replied.
I didn't refuse, and led Lin Chun into the ship's cabins. Luo Yaqin followed us.
We had already searched the interior of the ship once, and I was very familiar with its layout.
Virtually every room had been ransacked by us.
Anything movable had essentially been taken.
Specifically, things like blankets and clothes, I had the savages take back first for unified distribution later.
There were also quite a few on a previous ship, and I had already distributed some.
Those savages had never slept in such comfortable beds, and they felt very excited lying on them.
However, they were still a bit resistant to wearing clothes, as they preferred to be uninhibited.
On this point, I didn't force them, but I insisted they wear bulletproof vests.
All the rooms on the ship had been opened, and I had checked them before. There was no one inside.
Then where did that crying come from?
I was a little confused. Moreover, the crying had only lasted for a moment and then disappeared, making me even question if I had misheard…
"Why don't we call out?" Luo Yaqin suggested.
"I think that's a good idea," I said with a smile. "You call out, and I'll listen…"
Luo Yaqin nodded, then began to call out loudly in the ship's cabin, "Is there anyone else in here? If there is, make some noise!"
"The people on the ship before have already been killed by us! You don't need to worry!"
"We can save you. If you don't have the strength to shout, you can bang on the wall!"
Luo Yaqin shouted, but no other sound could be heard.
After waiting for another minute or so, I heard a faint sound in my ears again.
This time, it wasn't crying, but the sound of something hitting the wall.
The sound was very clear, at least to me.
After listening to several more sounds, I finally pinpointed the direction the noise was coming from.
"Where is it?" Lin Chun sounded excited.
"Below!" I said.
"Then let's hurry and find the entrance!" Lin Chun said, and began to search frantically around the cabin.
I, on the other hand, closed my eyes, and my 'Thousand Miles Perception' spread out, sensing everything within its range.
Indeed, not long after, in a room within the ship's cabin, I detected an anomaly.
After signaling Lin Chun, I immediately led him towards that room.
This seemed to be a storage room, and everything inside had been cleared out. It likely held some provisions.
There were some traces of flour trampled on the ground.
In a corner, I found a faint mark on the floor.
If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't see it at all.
I glanced at Luo Yaqin, who instantly understood and withdrew from the room.
Lin Chun followed behind me.
I approached the floor, grasped the edge, and yanked hard.
The immense force directly tore that piece of flooring apart, and immediately, a jet of flame erupted from below.
Accompanied by the roar of gunfire, it shattered the ceiling!
