Chapter 61
Qi Yueke's matter is not urgent. As long as Boss Zhou hides in the company, he won't die for a while.
The shipwreck mission couldn't wait any longer. According to what Gao Xiaoquan said, the twenty people on this boat had been stuck at sea for two days, without water or food.
If you don't care anymore, the group will probably be destroyed.
To be honest, Zhang Youzhi has never been to the sea, but he is not too worried. It has been tested before and he will not suffocate.
What does the dead want to breathe?
Seeing Gao Xiaoquanfa's position, Zhang Youzhi took a taxi and hurried over.
This is a port. As soon as Zhang Youzhi got off the bus, he looked at a young man wearing a sunhat and waved to him.
"Are you Gao Xiaoquan?" Zhang Youzhi looked at the young man wearing a yellow life jacket.
He looks about the same age as me.
"Zhang Youzhi? Oh, I've been waiting for you. Just call me Xiaoquan. This task depends on the boss. I can just follow you and have a sip of soup, hahaha." Gao Xiaoquan took the initiative to shake Zhang Youzhi's hand.
Seems very enthusiastic.
Zhang Youzhi has a good impression of him.
"Why are you trying to find me? There are no other employees in this area?" The two men walked towards the pier together, where several boats were moored. One of them asked.
"That's not true. There are still a few people in this area. They are doing missions, doing missions, and taking vacations. I saw that you received the mission. I'm not very busy, so I came to see you. Mainly because I want to be able to complete B-level missions.
You look familiar to the big boss." Gao Xiaoquan chuckled.
"arrive!"
Zhang Youzhi looked at the small ship in front of him and couldn't help but marvel.
"Awesome, where did you get it? The rent for this big ship must be tens of thousands a day."
"Brother Zhang, no, you are wrong. This is our boat."
Gao Xiaoquan pointed to the speedboat next to the ship sheepishly.
Zhang Youzhi:......
"Are you sure that this small speedboat can rescue people?" Zhang Youzhi said doubtfully.
This little speedboat doesn't look like it can hold more than twenty people.
"What are you trying to save? Put some fresh water supplies on the ship. There is also a diesel generator on it. Find the missing ship and send some supplies there. Then give them the diesel generator and let them charge it. Use the positioning on the ship to contact them.
System, go find the rescue team for help yourself."
Zhang Youzhi was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't react.
This guy named Gao Xiaoquan obviously has a smarter brain than him and knows how to complete the task with less effort.
Zhang Youzhi thought that in order to rescue the people on the shore, it turned out that he only needed to help the people on the boat contact the regular rescue team. In the same way, he only needed to save the people, not necessarily himself. He still made the mistake of stereotyped thinking.
"Brother Zhang, you have to skillfully borrow existing social rules to complete tasks. How can you do it forcefully?" Gao Xiaoquan saw that Zhang Youzhi was a little confused, so he took the initiative to explain with a smile.
"Too."
The speedboat was stocked with 6 barrels of fresh water and almost full of ready-made food. After the two grown men were busy on the shore for a while, Gao Xiaoquan handed Zhang Youzhi a life jacket, and Zhang Youzhi put it on.
"Are you serious about this?" Zhang Youzhi laughed when he saw Gao Xiaoquan put a swimming ring on himself again.
"Life jacket, buoyancy sleeve, swimming ring, are you preparing to cross the Pacific Ocean?"
Gao Xiaoquan's face turned pale: "I have been afraid of water since I was a child. Let's go."
Zhang Youzhi noticed Gao Xiaoquan's nervousness, shook his head and sighed, took the initiative to come to the speedboat cockpit, and rushed towards the longitude and latitude of the missing ship.
According to the chart, the ship is not far away, almost 160 nautical miles. When converted to land, it is equivalent to the distance from Jinling City to Shencheng, which takes only three hours by car.
As the land gradually became smaller, Zhang Youzhi couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Gao Xiaoquan shivering in the cabin.
This person has never been to the sea and is afraid of water. No wonder he has to find a companion to share the reward even though the mission is for free.
"Brother Zhang, are you here?" Gao Xiaoquan asked carefully.
"Morning." Zhang Youzhi looked at the chart and was only halfway through.
Fortunately, the weather is good today, the wind is sunny and the waves are smooth, but the sea breeze has a fishy smell.
Zhang Youzhi turned on the automatic navigation and the speedboat rumbled while he thought about the mission.
"The mission mentioned that this missing ship was not reported before going to sea. Is there any problem?"
Zhang Youzhi was a little worried.
I also looked at the direction of the missing ship, which was towards the northeast. Anyone with good geography knowledge knows that the northeast of the Green Onion Peninsula is the Goguryeo Peninsula, and the people on this peninsula are notorious for being noisy, holding that one all day long.
Rotten kimchi jars are being applied for as cultural heritage everywhere.
"Isn't it possible to leave the country secretly?" Zhang Youzhi pondered.
If his guess is correct, then Gao Xiaoquan's plan may come to nothing.
The ship would not return at all. The speedboat he drove only carried a small diesel engine and water and food for 20 people for seven days. It was simply not enough to complete the mission.
The mission briefing stated that the missing ship's power system was broken and it was impossible to run freely.
In other words, if the speculation is true, he and Gao Xiaoquan will not be able to achieve the task of "rescuing 20 people".
Looking at Gao Xiaoquan who was vomiting due to seasickness, Zhang Youzhi did not tell him this bad guess.
What if this is a normal anchored fishing boat? Maybe I am overthinking it.
Two hours later.
Zhang Youzhi calibrated the navigation angle and drove towards a faintly visible black spot.
"Finally found it, but I'm sick of vomiting." Gao Xiaoquan lay in the cabin and gasped, as if he had lost half his life.
"Do you have any weapons on you?" Zhang Youzhi said coldly.
"Weapon, what weapon? Why are you bringing that thing? Does a kitchen knife count?" Gao Xiaoquan climbed up and looked confusedly at the medium-sized fishing boat that was getting closer and closer.
Zhang Youzhi frowned and did not approach the fishing boat that lost power rashly. He drove the speedboat around the big boat.
People on the fishing boat apparently spotted Zhang Youzhi and Gao Xiaoquan, waving their hands and shouting for help.
"Come on, let's go there?" Gao Xiaoquan also noticed Zhang Youzhi's caution and asked tentatively.
"How many people are there on this ship during the mission?"
"23."
"Are you counting now?"
"Hey, why are there only 18 people standing on the boat? Where are the remaining five?" Gao Xiaoquan was puzzled.
Seeing the boat still calling for help in the distance, his brows also furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Let's go over there. No matter what, we'll give them food and water first." Zhang Youzhi stopped going around in circles and drove a speedboat close to the big ship.
"How about... let's report it to the coast guard. We can send a distress call and then we can slip away and be judged to have completed the mission. The main thing is, why do I feel something is not right?" Gao Xiaoquan suddenly became stronger than Zhang Youzhi now.
Still cautious.
"No, don't report it to the Coast Guard. I'm afraid this emotional disaster is different from what we imagined. The Coast Guard may not be able to solve the emotional disaster by rescuing them to the shore. Who knows, this so-called emotional disaster is because they were trapped.
Is it caused by... other reasons?"
Zhang Youzhi thought for a while and asked again:
"They have been without food and water for two and a half days, right?"
"Yeah." Gao Xiaoquan nodded.
"Don't you think they are too spirited? Also, a D-level emotional disaster... How can there be immortality? Is D-level so easy to achieve?"
"This..." Gao Xiaoquan was stunned.
"Let's go, get close, and communicate at close range. If there's no problem, I'll go up and negotiate. You can drive the boat below, ready to run away at any time." Zhang Youzhi said, and directly kicked the accelerator and drove to the vicinity of the fishing boat.
"What happened to your boat? Why didn't it run away?" Zhang Youzhi stood on the speedboat and asked loudly.
"Brother, our boat is broken down. Can you give us some water and food first? Let's buy it with money!" The leader on the boat responded in the same way. The others were even more excited, as if they were about to pounce down.
"Oh, okay, I'll call a tugboat for you!" Zhang Youzhi shouted, and then pretended to take out the satellite phone.
"Hey! No, no, brother, the boat just has a minor problem. We are repairing it. It will be repaired soon. Don't call a tugboat. If the tugboat tows us for half a month, it will be in vain."
"Really? It's not easy to repair the boat if it's broken. How about I give you the phone number and you can find a brother boat to tow it yourself. It doesn't cost anything."
"No, no, no, brother, just give them some food. We'll buy it with the money." The man in the suit shook his head and kept telling Zhang Youzhi to give them some food.
"What should we do, Brother Zhang?" Gao Xiaoquan obviously felt something was wrong.
"It's okay. Give them some food and water first, otherwise they will run away in vain." Zhang Youzhi shook his head.
Zhang Youzhi negotiated with the leading man for a few more words, and finally bought most of the drinking water and food that Zhang Youzhi wore for "two thousand yuan."
Although the medium-sized fishing boat was large, its draft was also very deep, and the height difference between the deck and the speedboat was not large. Zhang Youzhi commanded the speedboat to drive to a distance of ten meters close to the boat.
On the boat, a group of men hurriedly came to the deck, as if waiting for Zhang Youzhi to drive the speedboat over.
"Hurry up, brother, I'll throw all the money over to you. You move the boat closer."
"Coming, coming." Zhang Youzhi responded.
After driving five meters, the boat stopped again.
"Throw the food over." Zhang Youzhi ordered.
Then the two of them picked up packages of instant noodles and threw them inside.
The person who put it on was obviously a little anxious: "No, brother, just drive closer and we will move it ourselves. You will have to throw it away until the end of the year, and the water can't be thrown away."
Zhang Youzhi ignored him and continued to throw compressed biscuits inside.
"Where's water, water, brother, water is the most important thing." The leader shouted again.
Zhang Youzhi weighed a bucket of water and threw it directly onto the deck with great strength.
"There was a bang, and the bucket cracked, and streams of clear water poured onto the deck. Several people hurriedly blocked the water."
"No, brother, come closer and hand it over. How can we drink if you lose it?" the leader said in a bad tone, as if he was very annoyed by his behavior.
Zhang Youzhi looked at him and nodded.
Then he whispered to Gao Xiaoquan: "Drive closer and don't put out the fire. I'll hand you the water. If there's any problem, run away."
Gao Xiaoquan nodded.
"You leave one person nearby to collect water, and the others stay away, otherwise I won't come."
"Okay, okay, I'll give it in. Who do you think we are? Really." The leader cursed and made the others disperse, leaving only a tall and round man.
As the boat approached, Zhang Youzhi began to pass buckets of water to the man. When he handed the last bucket, the man suddenly grabbed his hands.
"Huh?" Zhang Youzhi was confused.
Several people on the far deck suddenly sprinted over, jumped off the deck, and headed straight for Zhang Youzhi's speedboat.
Gao Xiaoquan reacted quickly. The speedboat roared and opened a distance of three to four meters in an instant. Several people jumped over one after another, but none of them caught them. They all fell into the water like dumplings.
But Zhang Youzhi was tightly held by the man and escaped from the speedboat.
"Pull him up here." The leader was furious and pointed at Zhang Youzhi and cursed.
Several people dragged Zhang Youzhi up.
At this time, Gao Xiaoquan realized that Zhang Youzhi was holding him back, and he was shocked and angry: "What are you doing?!"
"Leave the boat behind, and I will let your friend go. I will leave a lifebuoy for you." The leader walked to the side of the boat with a fierce look and threatened Gao Xiaoquan.
"Xiaoquan, stay away and come and pick me up later." Zhang Youzhi shook off the big man, stood firm on the boat, and spoke calmly to Gao Xiaoquan.
