Chapter 1003: Chapter 396: Taking President No. 7
This scream didn’t last long.
The moment Ghost Shadow opened his mouth, a large amount of water rushed into his lungs and trachea.
Instantly, the sensation of suffocation hit him, and Ghost Shadow coughed and gagged violently.
But it was useless; he struggled frantically like a drowning man, running around desperately.
In his panic, he ran right in front of Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan didn’t look at him, just waved his hand casually.
Whoosh!
A Spiritual Flame ignited instantly.
In an instant, Ghost Shadow’s consciousness sea burned fiercely, the terrifying Spiritual Flame directly igniting his consciousness sea.
Within just a few seconds, Ghost Shadow completely spiritually died, collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Han Xiangman walked over and casually threw Ghost Shadow off the ship’s bow.
"This guy wasn’t strong, but he sure was arrogant," Han Xiangman laughed.
Liang Yuan smiled slightly, "Judging by the strength of the superpower energy he displayed, he’s not much weaker than Wu Ying."
Han Xiangman shook her head and said, "This guy can’t compare to Wu Ying. A Dark Attribute Superpower User should act like Wu Ying, hiding throughout the fight."
"This guy has a screw loose, what kind of assassin exposes himself?"
Han Xiangman really couldn’t understand what this kind of person was thinking.
Liang Yuan could somewhat guess the mindset of these people.
These people awakened their superpowers, had no home, drifted around, needing a certain reputation to intimidate others.
To gain fame, they had to show off, to be high-profile.
This is not in line with the combat style of the Dark Attribute.
Moreover, these people long drift on the water, possibly making them mentally skewed.
You can’t judge their behavior by common sense.
Liang Yuan didn’t discuss these things with Han Xiangman, instead, he looked up at the battle of fire and lightning in the sky.
"This Fire Attribute Superpower User is quite capable; Qiu Yingyue’s Thunder Superpower doesn’t restrain Flame Superpower much."
Han Xiangman immediately said, "I’ll go help."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Finish this quickly, don’t damage the President No. 7. This might be the largest ship we can get for some time."
"Understood!"
Han Xiangman nodded instantly, then leaped forward from the bow of the ship.
Underwater, a current automatically surged up, carrying her into the sky.
Immediately, she manipulated the Water Dragon, joining the thunder and flames in an instant.
The thunderous rainwater immediately conducted through the area, the crackling thunder constantly erupting.
When the flames encountered the water, they immediately stalled and rapidly exploded back!
With this shift of forces, the superpower user nicknamed ’Bomb’ furiously cursed in shock.
"Two against one, what kind of hero are you?!"
Han Xiangman, suspended in mid-air, chuckled, "You fool, take a good look, I’m a woman!"
Qiu Yingyue also burst into laughter, "That’s right, I’m a woman too!"
’Bomb’ superpower user was so enraged he swore, "Damn you, you two bitches, I curse you to be... "
"Courting death!"
"Go to hell!"
The two women were instantly furious, thunder and the Water Dragon howled together, exploding fiercely.
The Water Dragon directly broke through the flames, sweeping out a water path.
Thunder seized the opportunity, riding the water’s conductivity, with a boom, like the Water Thunder Divine Sword, plunging into the sky’s wall of flames.
A huge explosion erupted, and behind the wall of flames came a shrill, miserable scream!
A flaming figure fell from the sky, plummeting straight towards President No. 7!
Lin Wu, breaking through President No. 7’s third floor, stood at the top, and upon seeing this, grabbed a flagpole and hurled it fiercely towards the falling figure!
Whoosh—!
The terrifying sound of splitting air exploded, the air waves roared, the flagpole fluttered.
Thud!
The flaming figure was like a bird in flight, pierced fiercely by the flagpole, with a thud, falling towards the water!
Immediately, several newly subjugated pirates, eager to gain merit, fearlessly dove into the water, scrambling to cut off the person’s head!
This scene left those still resisting on President No. 7 gasping, hearts cold with fear.
Are these people crazy?
Even turning against your side, they shouldn’t need to try so hard, right?
In an instant, morale on President No. 7 collapsed, with cries for mercy and kneeling surrenders.
Liang Yuan didn’t intend to cut them all down mercilessly.
Because he still had use for these people.
In less than half an hour, the situation was completely stabilized.
Liang Yuan led his men onto President No. 7, looking at the group kneeling on the ground, asking, "Who’s been here the longest?"
The many prisoners kneeling on the ground looked at each other and ultimately couldn’t help but look towards Du Ol’Dog, who hadn’t dared to look up the entire time in the corner.
Liang Yuan also followed their gaze to look at Du Ol’Dog.
Du Ol’Dog shivered all over, trembling as he lay on the ground.
Tap tap tap...
Liang Yuan’s footsteps sounded, Du Ol’Dog only saw a pair of sneakers appear in front of him.
At the same time, a voice came.
"Raise your head."
Du Ol’Dog’s heart trembled, he dared not hesitate, and quickly raised his head to look at Liang Yuan.
He forced a smile on his old face and said, "Bo... Boss..."
Liang Yuan’s gaze fixed on him, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Heh, so it’s you. From the moment my ship approached, you’ve been secretly observing, quite the clever one."
Du Ol’Dog’s face turned pale with fright, his secret observation had long been discovered.
In an instant, his heart was full of fear, and he hurriedly pleaded, "Boss, please see clearly, I’m just the old sailor on the ship, don’t even have a Superpower, the sins committed by Lingjiang River have nothing to do with me!"
He quickly shifted blame, fearing Liang Yuan might take out Lingjiang River’s perverse and cruel nature on him.
Liang Yuan didn’t pay attention to this but simply asked, "What’s your name?"
"In reply to the boss, the old man’s surname is Du, named Du Jiang, but everyone calls the old man Du Ol’Dog, you can just call me Du Ol’Dog." Du Ol’Dog quickly said with a flattering smile.
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "Du Ol’Dog, how long have you been with Lingjiang River?"
"In reply to the boss..."
"Call me Mr. Liang."
"Ah, in reply to Mr. Liang, I’ve been working on the President No. 7 since before the great flood, always been a crew member."
"Later, when the great flood broke out, the captain and others first seized the President No. 7, occupying most of the food and supplies."
"Then Lingjiang River awakened his Superpower, killed the captain and they, and became the boss of this cruise ship himself."
"Because I know some of the skills required for sailing, he let me be in charge of driving the ship."
Du Ol’Dog skillfully avoided mentioning the intrigue onboard the President No. 7 initially, nor how Lingjiang River cruelly retaliated.
He avoided these topics, instead subtly mentioned his professional skills.
Saying this, of course, to let Liang Yuan know that he is the helmsman of the cruise, with an irreplaceable role.
As long as Mr. Liang needs the ship to sail, then Du Ol’Dog can stay alive.
Du Ol’Dog kept calling himself an old man, but in fact, he just turned fifty.
Before the great flood, this wouldn’t even count as old, not even reaching retirement age.
After the great flood, the survivors’ Constitution was rapidly enhancing, even older Superpower Users could recover old injuries and illnesses.
So fifty isn’t really old.
However, Du Ol’Dog called himself that, naturally to arouse pity.
Liang Yuan naturally saw through his little tricks clearly.
But he didn’t expose it, instead inquired about the basic situation of the President No. 7.
Du Ol’Dog had been serving on the President No. 7 for a long time, he naturally knew a lot.
He quickly introduced to Liang Yuan.
"Mr. Liang, the entire President No. 7 is designed to the Yangtze River shipping limit of 146.8 meters long, width 20.2 meters."
"Including 216 luxury standard rooms, 12 luxurious executive rooms at the top floor, 2 presidential suites at the front of the 3rd floor, totalling 230 rooms, accommodating 460 people."
"In the design of luxury standard rooms, the actual needs of family tourists are fully considered. Among them, 100 rooms can be upgraded to three-person family rooms. Thus, the actual design capacity of the entire ship reaches nearly 580 people."
"In terms of comfort, it uses the most advanced floating deck technology, making tourists hardly feel the ship’s movement."
"The ocean liner standard noise reduction system effectively minimizes the influence of propeller noise on guest rooms, much lower than the noise decibel value of the national five-star cruise standard."
...
Du Ol’Dog, like recounting treasured items, quickly introduced various advantages of the President No. 7.
He emphasized its enjoyment conditions surpassing ordinary cruise ships.
"The room’s bathroom facilities adopt land-based five-star hotel amenities, all using top international brands."
"The independent fresh air system allows tourists to breathe the fresh air of the Three Gorges even in the room."
"In addition, there is the largest spa center on an inland river cruise, allowing tourists to relax after a day’s tour."
"There’s also the largest indoor heated swimming pool on an inland river ship, bars, luxury cinemas, massage, sauna, hairdressing and beauty, cigar bar, shopping malls, photocopying and printing, foreign currency exchange, gyms, internet cafes, laundry, library, postal service, medical rooms, and other services and entertainment facilities, all fully equipped."
"Besides that..."
Listening to Du Ol’Dog’s introduction, Liang Yuan fell silent.
It was only after the great flood that he had the opportunity to board such a top cruise ship to see how the truly wealthy enjoy life.
Before the great flood, not to mention boarding the cruise, he probably couldn’t even take a glance at the interior decoration.
It wasn’t just a matter of money; most likely even with money, one couldn’t board.
One also needed some status.
Liang Yuan was silent, no wonder so many people on the internet resented the wealthy before the great flood.
Some could barely maintain their mortgage, while others could wildly indulge in these top-tier services.
The world truly isn’t fair.
At this moment, Du Ol’Dog had begun introducing facilities like the children’s playground on the ship.
Liang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, no need to continue."
Du Ol’Dog dared not speak further and quickly stopped with an obedient expression.
"Tell me about what Lingjiang River and his group did after arriving at Mist City, particularly the intelligence concerning Mist City."
Du Ol’Dog immediately showed an embarrassed look.
He wasn’t in a high position on the ship, just the helmsman, how could he know Lingjiang River’s movements?
He stammered for a long time without being able to say anything meaningful.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan stopped questioning him and instead looked at the captives kneeling on the ground and said, "Who knows the answers to my previous questions?"
"I, I, Mr. Liang, I know."
A middle-aged man hurriedly raised his hand and shouted,
This was a Metal Attribute Superpower User, Liang Yuan had some impression, when they fought earlier, he reacted quickly, and didn’t linger in battle, trying to escape the first chance he got.
But he was quickly surrounded and captured by Lin Wu and his people.
"What’s your name?"
"Tao Wei, I was originally the first mate on the Yongqiang. After Chen Yongqiang went ashore, the Yongqiang later fell to me."
"After Lingjiang River, that beast, arrived, he killed many of my people indiscriminately. I had no choice but to endure humiliation and pretend to surrender, but I have always been looking for a chance to retaliate."
"Mr. Liang, I am not on the same side as Lingjiang River and his people."
