Global Wasteland: My Evolutionary Path

Deep in the East China Sea.

The storm has lasted for two days, and huge waves roared with overwhelming pressure.

As the waves continued to hit the hull, the weather-beaten pirate ship continued to rise and fall.

Because of the heavy rain, there was no one on the deck, but there was an impressive blood-red flag hanging on the mast.

The flag depicts a black sitting wolf.

Blood wolf.

This is a famous pirate organization in the Moon Moon Continent.

In the cockpit of the bow, a young man in his mid-twenties was looking into the depths of the waves.

This pirate ship belongs to him.

His name is Lin Xiaoxiang, the third leader of the Blood Wolf Organization.

Three days ago, he left the Peiguo Strait with his trophies and went to his island base.

Because of the storm, the trip had been delayed for half a day. Although it was windy and rainy outside, he was not in a hurry as he was used to strong winds and waves.

We will arrive at the base in half an hour at most.

The first mate is a man in his forties, and the engineer is in his thirties. The two of them did not pay attention to the strong wind and waves outside, and were smoking leisurely.

Beside the long legs of the engine, a goat curled up on the floor.

Why are there sheep on the boat?

Those who understand will naturally understand.

"We're lucky this time, and the brothers are very happy." The first mate looked at the young man and asked tentatively: "Boss, can you give the brothers a holiday?"

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette, took a puff, lit it, and handed it over.

They went out to sea this time and robbed two merchant ships and one passenger ship. The merchant ships contained various fruits and daily necessities. As for the passenger ships... the people on the passenger ships were currently locked in the cargo hold.

This time they brought back sixty-three people, including thirty-nine women and twenty-four men.

Most of those people have now written down their home addresses and contact persons as required. The next step is to arrange a hidden stake in Peiguo to demand ransom from the addresses provided by these people.

How much money is required will be determined by the stash detective based on the family situation of the person being robbed.

Either go bankrupt, or...just like some people are alone and no one is willing to pay. Most of these people stay at the base as laborers, and some who are unwilling to be ordinary will choose to join the pirate organization.

Hearing what the first mate said, he smiled at the first mate. He took the cigarette that the first mate handed him and took two strong puffs. The smoke circled in his lungs and was spit out with a loud breath.

"Although I robbed a lot of things this time, there are more important things to do next."

"Tell the brothers, don't celebrate yet, and leave immediately after returning to the base to replenish supplies."

"Huh?" The chief engineer was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Where are we going?"

"City in ruins."

The first mate frowned: "Why are you going to a place where birds don't poop?"

"Exchange this ship of supplies for money."

"Use the money to buy a boat."

The third boss became a little excited as he said this: "Huang Tianyou's reselling of arms has been exposed. The eldest brother has already purchased a batch of arms."

"When we change the warships, can we still come and leave the Peiguo Strait whenever we want?"

"After returning from the ruined city, rest for ten days and a half."

"Then let's go to Cailian River together and have some fun."

Hearing this, the two people who were a little depressed because of the canceled vacation laughed, and their unhappiness disappeared in an instant. The three of them quickly talked about the girl in Cailian River and the gambling house.

At this moment, in the cargo hold under the ship, some of the hostages who had been kidnapped were already asleep, but most of them still had tears stains on their faces. The remaining ones who were not sleeping were looking at something with empty eyes and dull expressions.

As the ship's hull swayed, some people woke up from their sleep and became so nervous that they trembled all over.

Some were seasick and retching, not because they couldn't vomit, but because the pirates had not provided them with any food except water in the past few days.

Someone is holding a pen under the dim light, looking at the empty white paper in a daze, with thousands of words to say and not knowing where to start.

But the pirates guarding him didn't give him much time to think.

As the slap passed, the dazed man hurriedly wrote his home address on the white paper regardless of the blood on the corner of his mouth - too many people had been beaten in the past two days.

People were beaten until they were numb, and some resisted at first... After being beaten for a while, they became obedient. Still not convinced? Keep beating.

These hostages are all money. Pirates will not kill people unless they have to, unless there are too many resisters and they kill one or two to scare others.

Just like the last time I went to sea, I had to kill eight people to make the kidnappers honest.

This is one of the reasons why pirates like to kidnap women.

Fortunately, none of the sixty-three people who were robbed this time were strong-willed. Three days of hunger and thirst had already made these people lose their backbone.

Once a person loses his backbone, cowardice will pervade his body, making his legs weak and making him prone to kneeling.

After checking the contact addresses in their hands and seeing that sixty-three of them were correct, the pirates stopped guarding them and closed the cargo door.

In the cargo hold, the lights shook along with the ship's hull, and cries could be heard.

Tears can never solve problems, but many people like to use them to show their inner vulnerability when faced with problems.

Half an hour later, the pirate ship arrived at an isolated island and began to dock.

The pirates on the island had already received the news, and all stood on the shore of the island to greet the ship. When the ship docked, the pirates raised their guns and fired into the night sky to celebrate.

Water, fruits, rice, spices, and medicines are very popular in the ruined city, but few people buy clothes, shoes, hats, books, etc. The items that cannot be traded are moved off the ship, and the pirates carry daily necessities to the ship.

Make reserves for the upcoming voyage.

After all this is done, the hostage handover begins.

Not far away, the third boss Lin Xiaoxiang and the second boss were talking and laughing.

"Brother, it's really hard on you this time."

"My eldest brother went to discuss the purchase of a ship and has not come back. If your sister-in-law had not given birth to a baby in the next two days, I would have gone to the ruined city."

"Second brother said it like that." Lin Xiaoxiang laughed: "I haven't been to the ruined city yet, so I just want to go and have a look."

"Then I will wait for you to come back on the island to celebrate your success!" As soon as the second master finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion at the hostage handover area.

Lin Xiaoxiang and the second boss looked at each other, and he quickly drew his gun and shot into the sky.

The originally chaotic and crowded crowd suddenly became quiet.

The second master started counting heads.

"Sixty-three." Lin Xiaoxiang said from the side.

The third boss grunted and continued counting. After a few seconds, he let out an eh sound.

"The wrong number of people."

Listening to the words of the second boss, Lin Xiaoxiang was a little surprised - someone ran away?

He also started counting.

After a moment, the two looked at each other and opened their mouths to report a number: "Sixty-four."

There are no shortage of people, but one more person?

This is a bit strange.

Lin Xiaoxiang did not explain. He stepped forward and took the home addresses written by those who had been robbed before, and began to ask his subordinates to read them according to the addresses.

Whoever wrote the address came out and was escorted to the island.

The crowd was getting smaller and smaller, and when there were only about ten people left, Lin Xiaoxiang's eyes fell on one person.

The man was covered in blood and stood with a pale face. Different from the confusion and helplessness of the others, he looked at the island and these pirates curiously as if he were a tourist.

Lin Xiaoxiang tightened his grip on the gun in his hand.

Sure enough, when the sixty-three letters with home addresses were completed, the man with blood stains and dried soil on his body stood there alone.

At this moment, he was looking at Lin Xiaoxiang.

There was a somewhat unlucky look on his face, but there was no fear or panic.

Lin Xiaoxiang was walking towards him.

When he came to the man, Lin Xiaoxiang pointed a gun at his head and asked:

"Who are you? When did you get on the ship?"
