I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 49 Undercurrent
"Ta~"

Lin Xi closed the door and lay comfortably on the wooden bed. Even though the bed was very hard and the room was narrow and full of sweat, it was still much more comfortable than the cargo hold.

Just now, the snakehead directed the sailors to pack up the bodies and wrap them in woven bags. He and Lao Huang were also assigned to the room vacated by the sailors. In terms of force, both of them could slaughter the entire ship single-handedly, but the crew members were also indispensable, and death was at the end, so the originally tense atmosphere eased.

The human smuggler and the three sailors who witnessed the death of the captain concealed the news of his death. Not everyone can bear the consequence of death. If the ship does not arrive on time, the death of their family members is something they cannot bear, so they can only die for their families.

Lin Xi didn't have so many thoughts. He just fought back against the enemy with his generals and blocked the water with earth. He locked the door, ate two energy bars, lay down and fell into a deep sleep. It was not so easy for ordinary people to attack him by surprise. They were on good terms now only because they were at sea. When they were about to reach the destination, they would have to rely on their own abilities.

When he woke up, it was already noon the next day. He drank a bottle of mineral water and ate two energy bars, then walked out of the room and onto the deck.

The sky was blue and the sea was calm. Most of the crew members had nothing to do during this period of time. For example, the snakehead was drinking on the bridge in the engine room. The experienced crew members were staying on the deck to bask in the sun. It was a rare good day, and a few young boys were running around being ordered around.

Machine maintenance, route avoidance, cleaning, cargo inspection, patrolling... there is always endless work to do.

This cargo ship is not divided into so many levels. The bow is responsible for following the ship and is related to the lives of everyone. Below him is the human snakehead who is responsible for contacting other people and increasing income for everyone. Below them are the guys who get on board with high commissions and life wages.

Strictly speaking, except for the captain and the smuggler, everyone else can be considered a sailor, but the older people usually have some skills and their share will be bigger.

As for why cargo ships are used for smuggling purposes...

Vietnam in this era is still fighting wars everywhere. It has been fighting since the late 1970s, whether it is China, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand... Anyway, as long as it is around Vietnam, there is no good. It is more appropriate to describe Vietnam in this era with three words -

Fighting is fun!

However, it was precisely because of the wars that led to a shortage of light industrial materials and the complete destruction of many industries. A large number of factories supported by the United States were converted into war engines. Due to the war, there were fewer and fewer trade routes to Vietnam, and only sea transportation could quietly take advantage of it. Therefore, the value of each cargo ship going to Vietnam by sea could be multiplied several times or even dozens of times, which was simply a huge profit.

The situation in Vietnam was not so peaceful either. There was a huge gap between South Vietnam and North Vietnam. After all, it was not an armed unification, and the result was endless troubles. After years of war, it was normal for the people to rush to escape by smuggling.

By the way, in a certain parallel universe, the Vietnamese did a lot of bad things in Hong Kong Island in the 1970s and 1980s. They had a full range of guns and were ruthless. They were all from the military and had many disputes with gangs. However, they disappeared after the end of Vietnam's foreign war... This is just groundless speculation, please don't take it seriously.

As soon as Lin Xi appeared, several experienced sailors naturally gave up their best positions. These old hands were very good at observing people's words and expressions. Even though they didn't know that the captain was dead, they still guessed that the stowaway who could make the snakehead surrender and be released must have an extraordinary background or extraordinary abilities.

Old Huang was sitting at the bow with a worried look on his face. When he saw Lin Xi coming out, he waved and pointed at the net bag beside him and said, "They just caught a lot of fish. There are fish, shrimps, crabs and everything else. They can be eaten raw. They are very fresh and sweet."

The shrimps and crabs in the net bag were squeezed into a ball and kept squirming, looking extremely ugly. As he spoke, he picked up a shrimp, removed its head, peeled off its shell, and put it into his mouth to chew. It looked like it should taste good.

Lin Xi declined the offer. He had never been interested in seafood in his previous life, let alone eating it raw. He walked to the fence and admired the sea view. A few minutes later, someone suddenly fell off the boat and fell into the sea with a splash.

"Brother Dawei fell down!" Someone shouted, the boat slowed down slowly, and two people jumped down. After about five minutes, they were pulled aboard with a rope, dragging a dead body.

The man who jumped into the sea was one of the sailors who witnessed the death on the bow of the ship last night.

Lin Xi took a quick glance and saw that the corpse had some serious problems. It had died in just five minutes, and there was nothing unusual on the surface. It had fallen into the sea from such a high altitude, but there was not much blood clots on its head...

But no matter what the fight is, it has nothing to do with him.

After appreciating the sea view for a while, he started practicing Qigong on the deck. After warming up for half an hour, his forehead was slightly sweaty. He felt the sea breeze for a while, then he returned to the room refreshed and silently trained his body with Qi for an hour. Then he began to daydream and try to meditate.

There is not much supplies now and there is no way to replenish them at sea. Just do moderate physical exercise and make sure you don't regress.

Three days passed in a flash. Lin Xi's life was very rhythmic. He went out to exercise every morning, went back to exercise with an air hammer, took a nap, and sat cross-legged on the deck in the afternoon depending on the weather. If the weather was bad, he would try to meditate in the room.

Basically, there was not much gain, and meditation still did not make any progress. However, the second energy slot in the head stopped moving completely after producing two dark red energy beans.

Because time has always been tight, he has actually done relatively little exploration of the golden finger. He has thought about the newly appeared energy slot and dark red energy beans for a long time, and plans to find an open space to try them out after settling down in Thailand.

This thing cannot be added, but the consciousness in his head tells him that it can be "released". He doesn't know what release means. Because the birth of the dark red energy beans is related to the snake clan, he is more worried that he will go berserk after releasing it. The environment is not suitable, so he has never tried it.

Now there are two, so we can find a chance to release one and see.

By the afternoon of the fourth day, the coastline could be seen in the distance from the boat. Lao Huang and Lin Xi were standing on the deck waiting for docking. Most of the ignorant crew members had no idea what was waiting for them.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

There was some commotion on the ship, but it didn't affect anything. The cargo ship quickly docked. It was a narrow and dilapidated floating dock. The area around it was very desolate. There were no other buildings except two rows of warehouses. The berthing area was also empty, which showed how deserted it was.

There were a dozen dark-skinned, short young men standing on the pontoon, and soon the cargo ship entered the berth.
