Global Flooding: I built a city

In heavy rain.

The bearded man leaned on the boat, looking at the ship in front of him, and fell into memories.

"That Saturday, I accepted a job from a tour group and took the group of boys and girls for a run along the Yangtze River. As long as I returned to Jinling at eight o'clock in the evening, I could get a considerable amount of boat fare."

"Unexpectedly, it was only seven o'clock when it started to rain."

"An hour later, we still chose to dock, but only a few parents arrived early, and most of the children stayed on the boat."

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier."

"The roads were flooded and we had no choice but to leave the children on the boat and prepare to send them away after the rain stopped."

"But this wait is Jiutian!"

"Nine Heavens!"

The bearded man held a cigarette in his mouth, shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid this rain won't stop."

"Boss Hu, I am a rough man. When I saw you, I did have bad intentions. I don't ask you for anything else, I just ask you... to let those children go."

"I can do whatever I want. Just let my brothers get off the boat. They can take good care of those children."

There are good and evil in people's hearts. There are no pure good people or pure bad people in the true sense.

That's what a beard is.

If you want to call him bad, he is doing it for that boatload of children.

If it were just a few of his brothers' rations, fishing would be easy.

You want to tell him that he is okay...

For the sake of that boatload of children, he would rob other people of their survival resources.

It's hard to judge whether he's really good or bad.

"...We'll talk about this later."

Hu You hesitated for a few seconds before finally making a decision.

He looked at the ship: "There are still people waiting for you on the ship. Go say hello to them first and bring up the child named Guan Li."

"I have something to tell you."

"Eh!"

The bearded man responded, and without his brothers, he walked to the cable and climbed towards the ship.

This does not mean that he has abandoned his brother, but it is telling Hu You that he will not run away and will definitely come back.

"Boss Hu, I really don't understand."

Su Zilong stood aside and asked: "What are your plans? Are you going to keep them here? Or..."

"Remember that box of egg tarts?"

Hu You asked: "I bet Guan Li gave that beard at least one."

"What's the point of gambling?" Su Zilong was puzzled.

"If he keeps one, it means that this kid is worth investing in. Then I will give them a sum of supplies so that they can be self-reliant in the end of the world."

"What if there are two left?" Xiao Zisu's voice came from behind.

Hu You told them what happened on the ship in the afternoon.

I want to ask their opinions on how to deal with it.

There is only one answer available...

It all depends on what he thinks.

It's the same as saying it!

"Why did you come out?"

Hu You looked at Xiao Zisu behind him: "Is Bubu's medicine ready?"

"It's already cooked."

Xiao Zisu stood aside: "I heard that an old gentleman will be on the boat? I came over to take a look and happened to hear you talking."

"Tell me, what would you do if there were two egg tarts left?"

"Leave two?"

Hu You looked at the tightened cable: "There are only four egg tarts in a box. According to the logic of a normal child, maybe they will be divided equally among everyone."

"That child is very thoughtful. He might eat some himself first to test whether it is poisonous, and then distribute it."

"He left one behind to prove his gratitude. It would be a good idea to invest in it."

"Leaving two means that he knows his position very well and can win people's hearts. Two are not only reserved for the bearded ones, but also for the seven adults, representing half of the two groups."

"If he is really so sensible... there is no place for him on the ship."

A beard poked out from the side of the boat.

He held Guan Li in his arms, and Guan Li held a box in his arms.

Egg tart box.

A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of Hu You and others.

A guess came to mind.

Under what circumstances would Guan Li come up with the egg tart box in his arms?

"Boss Hu."

The bearded man came over with Guan Li: "We are here."

"Boss Hu."

Guan Li held the egg tart box and bowed deeply, then presented the box with both hands: "I misunderstood you before."

"I'm sorry, please don't be offended."

Hu You took advantage of the situation and opened the box.

The four egg tarts were arranged neatly and safely.

There is no damage other than it being cold.

"What do you mean?"

Hu You looked into Guan Li's eyes and asked, "Don't you like the gifts I gave you? Or are you afraid that I will poison you?"

"You wouldn't do that."

Guan Li's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked at Hu You: "You gave us egg tarts out of mercy and as a gift; we don't eat them because the captain is missing and we can't handle such a precious gift rashly."

"I am returning it to you now as a thank you."

"This is the best food we have on board and the best gift I can give."

"Thanks?"

"Thank you for giving us a chance to survive."

Guan Li said seriously, and then served the egg tart again.

Sleek, so slick!

Hu You thought about several possibilities, but he didn't expect that this kid could not eat a bite, and could even control other children not to move.

This is really rare!

"Then I'll accept it."

Hu You took the egg tart away and put it aside.

He looked at Guan Li and asked solemnly: "Now I give you a chance, you can board this ship and work for me."

"This ship will be your home in the future, you don't have to worry about food and drink anymore, are you willing?"

"No."

"...Why?"

Guan Li raised his head and stared at Hu You: "My coming here will be negligible for your benefits, and my leaving will be a disaster for them."

It's hard to imagine.

These words would actually come out of the mouth of a nine-year-old child.

Hu You raised his hand, fell on his head, and rubbed it gently.

If it was Bubu, she would enjoy squinting her eyes.

But Guan Li didn't move.

His eyes continued to stare at Hu You, as if he wanted to imprint him in his mind, his eyes were like a wolf!

If such a person is not taken in, then it will be a big trouble in the future!

He should know.

When he stood in front of Hu You and said those words, there were only two possible outcomes for him.

One is to stay on the ship, and the other is to leave your life on the ship.

But even so, he still chose to refuse.

There is only one reason.

Force!

He wanted to force Hu You to keep more people!

"They can all stay."

Hu You was relieved.

First of all, he really loved talents, and secondly... if a city is really built in the future, it really needs new forces.

Children are far more loyal than those adults!

"Really!?"

Guan Li exclaimed: "Including the captain?"

"They can come together."

Since he has already accepted dozens of people, he doesn't care about a few more.

However, there are still conditions.

Hu You looked at the bearded man: "First of all, let me make it clear that I will accept you and provide you with food and resources."

"But the premise is that you can't get on the ship."

"Except for the group of children, you can only drive the boat as a frigate and follow the yacht. Can you accept it?"

"Accept! Absolutely accept!"

Bearded man nodded repeatedly.

What kind of condition is this?

At this time, it would be good enough to keep a life, not to mention that he would provide food and resources, which is a great thing!

"That's good."

Hu You looked at the bearded man: "Bring the people up first, and distribute the supplies to you later."

"Hey!"

The bearded man responded, and was interrupted by Guan Li just as he was about to turn around.

"I'll go."

Guan Li took the initiative to say: "If Captain Wang goes, he won't be able to bring anyone up."

"Huh?" The bearded man was stunned: "What's the situation?"

Guan Li didn't answer, just smiled, and then walked to the side of the ship by himself, climbing towards the cable in the heavy rain.

"I guess he doesn't believe you either."

"Boss Hu, what do you mean?" The bearded man asked puzzled.

Hu You smiled and joked, and handed him the telescope.

"Look at the cab."

The bearded man took a look, but still didn't understand.

"Aren't they just a few kids? What's wrong?"

"This is Guan Li's emergency measure."

Hu You smiled as he looked at the thin figure in the rain: "If he finds out that you are cooperating with me and are going to use them as bargaining chips or something else, they will start the boat immediately."

"Either leave here, or crash directly into the yacht, and die together."

"These kids!"

The bearded man cursed inwardly, but his expression was full of relief.

"Tell me!"

Suddenly, a roar came from the greenhouse.

I saw Fang Lao running straight over, and Shen Shan behind him chased him, but he almost didn't catch up.

Fang Lao came in front of Hu You, his face full of excitement: "Tell me! Where did you find these things!"

"Miracle, it's simply a miracle!"
