Chapter 785
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Shuwan woke up in a daze, and a strong smell of the sea hit his nose.
She found herself lying on the deck of a crude fishing boat, with a splitting headache and traces of dried blood on her face.
She looked over and saw a swaying fishing boat. There were only a few dim lights on the dark sea, as if trapping them in endless darkness.
Dad and Qi Mingyu were lying not far away, also tied up and unconscious.
There were about a dozen burly men on the boat, armed with various weapons, patrolling back and forth vigilantly, their eyes scanning every corner with alert eyes.
Zhou Shuwan looked around, her gaze finally falling on the bow. Sun Xu was standing with his back to her, looking lonely and proud at the bow, staring at the boundless black sea. He held a dagger tightly in his hand, and had another on his waist. His figure was stretched out in the dim light.
Jiang Yixin was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as Zhou Shuwan moved, he immediately attracted the attention of a patrolman.
"This one's awake!" he shouted, raising the gun in his hand and pointing it at her head.
"She woke up early because she was allergic to the drug and had a severe reaction! Normally she shouldn't wake up until another hour later!"
A cold voice came, it was Sun Xu.
His voice was completely different from before. It was less timid and honest than before, but more cold and steady, and even had a chilling murderous aura.
Zhou Shuwan's throat was dry and hoarse, his temples were throbbing with pain, and he wanted to speak but could only make a few dry coughs.
Sun Xu turned around and stared at her sharply, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes.
He turned to the helmsman and asked, "How far are we from the island?"
The helmsman's voice was hoarse and low: "We've only been sailing for half an hour. If there's any movement here, we'll probably hear it over there."
Only half an hour?
Zhou Shuwan looked at Qi Mingyu and his father again; they were still unaware.
"Okay, shut her mouth and let's get out of this sea first."
Sun Xu's voice was still cold and without any emotion.
Someone immediately stepped forward and roughly stuffed a piece of rag into Zhou Shuwan's mouth and tied it tightly.
Zhou Shuwan's hands and feet were also tied tightly. She glanced at Sun Xu coldly and then looked away.
"Oh, this woman is not afraid at all!" A man laughed strangely, his voice was extremely vulgar.
"Old Sun, the one who carries the space you are talking about is her, right?" another man asked carelessly, his voice full of greed and expectation.
Zhou Shuwan was shocked. Space?!
They actually did it for this!
But how did Sun Xu know that she had space?
She looked into Sun Xu's eyes.
His eyes were cold, complacent, and even a little sinister and weird, like a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.
She had never seen this side of him in all the time they knew each other!
This person has a perverted mind!
Zhou Shuwan's hair immediately stood up!
Sun Xu chuckled, his voice unexpectedly gentle: "Zhou Shuwan, do you know how your secret was exposed?"
Zhou Shuwan glared at him coldly.
The rag blocked her mouth. Sun Xu didn't seem to care whether she could answer or not, and continued to speak:
"Actually, I know Lin Youyang! You didn't expect that, did you? After your warship attacked the pirates, you sent us wounded to the temporary medical area. Lin Youyang and I were together. Yes, I even saw you..."
As he spoke, he let out a strange laugh, which was full of pride and sarcasm.
Zhou Shuwan tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember who he was.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Your attention was all on Lin Youyang at that time!" Sun Xu continued, with a hint of smugness in his tone.
"I learned the name Zhou Shuwan from Lin Youyang. Then, after you left, I kept an eye on Lin Youyang out of curiosity. Since Lin Youyang and you were once boyfriend and girlfriend, given his intelligence, he would definitely find a way to cling to you and seek benefits for himself.
I have no power, nor am I very smart, so I decided to observe quietly and take the opportunity to drink some broth, right?
Then, I heard the shocking secret!
He told Dr. Wei that you actually have a spatial dimension, which is why you can take such good care of yourself and your family in the end times! This is such an incredible thing! "
Sun Xu paused, his eyes flashing with greed, like a greedy wolf, staring straight at Zhou Shuwan, looking her up and down.
When he heard the secret, his first reaction was disbelief.
But ever since he was captured on the pirate island, he has been enslaved.
Fortunately, he was good at disguise, and by appearing honest, he won over the pirate leader who was in charge of them.
Then he lived a pretty good life by selling out information about the slaves he lived with, such as who was planning to run away together at night, who was going to start a riot and when...
They eat better than others and are assigned easier tasks.
And none of the survivors who were killed because of him knew that he was actually a spy for the pirates.
Therefore, when the pirates were ordered to be killed by Captain Chen, he luckily escaped.
They were treated as suffering survivors and were kindly sent to the rescue area to be treated by doctors and nurses!
Just as he was about to behave himself, he heard the news from the space.
He always thought that he was not a very smart person, and his best skill was to be patient and lurking.
So even though he knew the news, he didn't show much emotion and just observed quietly.
He thought, even if that space really existed.
He doesn't need to rush into action. The space will not disappear. He just needs to see who takes it away in the end.
Then he took the opportunity to take it for himself!
He kept watching and waiting silently, and then Lin Youyang died!
Dr. Dong and his family also died soon!
The night Dr. Dong disappeared, the entire island and the mother ship were almost turned upside down.
The noise was particularly loud.
At that time, he really wanted to inform on others like he had done before and gain some benefits from it.
Maybe I can even gain the trust of the higher-ups!
But he thought he was also good at observing people's hearts. This warship was a regular army. Even though so many years had passed since the apocalypse, they were no different from the Chinese soldiers before the apocalypse!
As long as people like him keep a low profile, they won't discover his true nature.
But once they get close to him, they are experienced and will definitely be able to see through him!
It would be terrible if his past deeds were dug up again and he was shot!
Moreover, even if the warship confiscated Zhou Shuwan’s space, it would not give him much preferential treatment!
So, he could only wait patiently and do it himself.
