Chapter 205: Jumping the Train "Northwest Outdoor" was likely a brand. Logically, those boxes and tools should have been standardized products from Northwest Outdoor. I planned to investigate further once the ship docked. Time was pressing, and the three of us were getting hungry. We quickly replaced the lids on the black boxes one by one, wiped up the water on the floor with towels, and moved the boxes blocking the door back to their original positions. Only after the cargo hold looked more or less…-

Chapter 204: Looking for Labels My brain short-circuited for a brief moment. Lu Ayao blocked the door and sat beside it. The impact of that corpse was simply too much for me. I reached for the first black crate I had opened, slammed the lid shut, and sat on top of it, slapping my face hard with both hands. He Yu followed my lead and closed the crate containing Tian Xiao's body. He started to prop himself up to sit on it, but halfway through the motion, he must have remembered exactly who he was…

Chapter 203: The Black Boxes He Yu supported me as we walked to the aft cabin. It was a storage area for miscellaneous items. He began moving the heavy crates aside one by one, then somehow produced a folding stool from nowhere. Pointing at it, he ordered me to sit down. The blood on my nose had already dried, mostly staining my collar. Lu Ayao had given me some medicine to take the moment we arrived, but he was immediately detained in the main cabin. They seemed to need him urgently, though they…

Chapter 202: The Break The three of us were the last to arrive in the cabin. A table sat in the center with a nautical chart spread across it, surrounded by a crowd of workers. I took a quick scan; aside from the crew steering the ship, almost everyone was there. My mother had likely just finished explaining the sailing route. She looked up as she saw us coming down. In an instant, every gaze in the cabin shifted toward us. I had seen this kind of formation before; it never signaled anything…

Chapter 201: The Eve of the Break The barbecue was a dull affair. I wasn't sure exactly when the atmosphere had turned so somber, but with some people staying behind to continue the excavation and others joining our ship, the crowd thinned out quickly. We finished off the pigeons in short order, and the three of us extinguished the fire, carrying the remaining meat and vegetables back into the tent. He Yu and I knocked back beers in the tent while Lu Ayao dozed against the table. Once we finished off…

Chapter 200: Farewell I slept soundly for a solid four or five hours. When I woke up, the beds around me were empty. He Yu had brought my bag in and placed it at the head of the bed. Only a single lamp was lit on the table in the tent. I hadn't been awake long when someone swept aside the tent flap, letting in a gust of cold wind. “Wake up and wash your face. We have roast meat tonight.” Bai Shenxian set a basin of water on an iron rack with one hand while holding a bright pressure lamp in his…

Chapter 199: Rest He Yu and I went back and forth, our conversation peppered with the occasional curse word, but by now, my Fourth Brother must have understood the full story. He had never cared much for material objects, and since he had always spoiled me, his attitude was clearly one of wanting to avoid a major confrontation. Thus, Fourth Brother began to plead on my behalf. He turned to my mother and said, "Sister, based on what they're saying, things must have been incredibly dangerous down…

Chapter 198: Exposed Once the men were mostly dealt with, Fourth Brother waved his hand, dismissing everyone to return to their posts. I could clearly see them all heave a massive sigh of relief at the gesture. As they filed out, only He Yu and I remained, standing stiffly in place like a pair of wooden poles. "Why are you standing so far away? Come, sit down," Fourth Brother said, beckoning us over. I pulled He Yu along as I slowly walked forward. Xiao Wu naturally took a seat opposite me, while…
