Super Ship: Matchmaking starts with black and white stockings sisters
Chapter 20 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish
Night fell once again.
Inside the completely enclosed tin-roofed house on the second floor, the world was as quiet as if it had been muted.
Qin Yu locked the door.
Although locks can't keep out people's hearts or real malice on this isolated and helpless sea, it's a habit.
A habit of always leaving yourself a bottom line, even in the safest of times.
He turned around and looked at the S-class Deep Sea Cloud Dream Bed that took up half the room.
There were no unnecessary movements.
He collapsed onto it.
"call……"
A long, heartfelt sigh.
It wasn't the kind of pain you get from a hard impact like falling onto a wooden board, nor the kind of discomfort you get from lying in a tent with a sore back.
It is a form of inclusiveness.
In that instant, Qin Yu felt as if he were enveloped in a warm jelly.
S-grade deep-sea soft biogel.
This thing is amazing.
It fits perfectly against every muscle and bone in his back.
Even the sore spots in the lumbar spine caused by long-term exertion were gently supported by a gentle force.
"Is this the true value of an S-class rank?"
Qin Yu turned over and lay on his side.
The pillow's height automatically adjusts with his movements, always keeping his cervical spine in a relaxed, straight line.
so comfy.
This comfort is not just physical.
It is also a kind of spiritual liberation.
Ever since arriving in this damn apocalypse, my nerves have been stretched to their limit like a rubber band.
Kill sharks, expand, guard against undercurrents, guard against people's hearts.
Every second is being calculated.
Every second was tense.
Only now.
On this bed.
Qin Yu felt the rubber band finally loosen.
There's no need to worry about someone stabbing you from under the bed.
There's no need to worry about rolling into the icy seawater just by turning over.
"system."
Qin Yu called out in his mind.
The character panel appears.
[Host: Qin Yu]
[Status: Extremely Comfortable (Mental Energy Recovery Speed +300%)]
[Undergoing repair of hidden injuries: minor latissimus dorsi strain (estimated repair time: 20 minutes)... right arm ligament fatigue (estimated repair time: 15 minutes)...]
Looking at those rows of green data that were jumping around.
A smile appeared on Qin Yu's lips.
This is not just about sleeping.
It's charging.
It is evolving.
When he wakes up tomorrow, he'll be a fully fueled killing machine again.
He closed his eyes.
His breathing quickly became long and steady.
There's no need to count sheep.
On this bed, insomnia is an insult to S-grade supplies.
……
Separated by a wall.
Another room.
The atmosphere was far less quiet than Qin Yu's side.
"Wow... Sis..."
Yao Qian's voice was very low, but she couldn't hide her excitement.
She rolled around on the bed.
Like a puppy that has just been put into a new home.
"This bed...is this bed alive?"
"It'll suck me in!"
Yao Qian hugged the soft pillow, burying her face in it, her voice muffled.
"It smells so good..."
"There's no fishy smell, and no body odor."
"It's like...like the smell of our house right after it's been sun-dried."
Yao Xue sat on the edge of the bed.
She wasn't as crazy as her sister, but her trembling fingers betrayed her feelings at that moment.
She gently stroked the silky smooth sheets.
As a doctor, she is very sensitive to materials.
This is definitely not any material that exists on Earth.
It warms to the touch, has excellent breathability, and you can even feel a faint bio-current pulsating at your fingertips.
That's used to stimulate blood circulation.
"Don't get out of here."
Yao Xue slapped her younger sister's kicking thigh.
"That's a silk nightgown, don't wrinkle it."
Yao Qian stopped, lay on the bed in a starfish position, and stared at the ceiling.
Although it was just a painted tin roof, in her eyes it was almost the same as the dome of a royal palace.
"sister."
Yao Qian suddenly turned her head, her eyes sparkling.
"What do you think Brother Qin Yu is doing?"
Yao Xue paused for a moment as she was untying her hair.
"sleep."
She replied calmly.
"What else can we do?"
"hey-hey……"
Yao Qian chuckled mischievously, rolled over onto her stomach, rested her chin on her hands, and swung her white-stockinged legs in the air.
"You said... this bed is so nice."
"Such a big bed."
"Isn't it a bit of a waste for him to sleep alone?"
Yao Xue's cheeks flushed slightly.
She turned her head and glared at her sister.
"Yao Qian".
"Clean up all that junk in your head."
"He's a man."
"A normal, vigorous man."
"Don't think he didn't know about your little tricks last night, and don't think I didn't know either."
Yao Qian stuck out her tongue and buried her face in the pillow.
"They just... just wanted to repay him."
"repay?"
Yao Xue sneered, took off her slippers, and gracefully moved her long, beautiful legs, clad in black stockings, onto the bed.
She leaned against the headboard, her gaze piercing through the gaps in the not-quite-sealed wooden window, looking out at the dark night sky.
"In this world."
"The body is the cheapest form of repayment."
"Among the tens of thousands of survivors outside, the women who would sell their bodies for a single steamed bun could stretch from here to the coastline."
Yao Xue's voice was somewhat cold, yet it conveyed a sense of worldly wisdom.
"Does he lack women?"
"If he just shouts it out on the channel, this raft can be sunk by women throwing themselves at him."
Yao Qian has stopped shaking her legs.
She rested her head on the pillow, somewhat dejected.
"Then...what are we?"
"If we weren't important, why would he feed us such good meat? Why would he let us sleep in such a nice bed?"
"They even made us scrambled eggs with tomatoes..."
At this point, the little girl almost cried again.
That was the most vulnerable moment of the day.
Yao Xue fell silent.
She placed her hand on her heart.
There, her heartbeat wasn't as calm as it appeared on the surface.
Why?
Because he is Qin Yu.
Because although he seems ruthless and treats everyone as a tool, deep down he possesses a quality that is most rare in this apocalyptic world.
Bottom line.
He killed and shattered bones.
But he did not torture, humiliate, or treat people like livestock.
"Because we obey."
Yao Xue finally gave this answer.
"Also because...we are useful."
She pulled the blanket over them both.
"Go to sleep."
"I want to stay in this bed, I want to stay in this room."
"Get up earlier tomorrow."
"Sew up the pigskin and smoke the meat."
"Don't let him think that supporting us is just about two mouths that only know how to eat and go into heat."
Yao Qian fell silent.
She obediently crawled into bed and snuggled closer to her sister.
There was no sound coming from next door.
But that sense of presence.
The scent of that man.
Even with a wall separating them, the two sisters felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
On this vast sea where lives can be swallowed at any moment.
He is the only anchor.
……
The night grew deeper and deeper.
Even in dim light mode, the [Eternal Day Lamp] above our heads continues to stand guard.
The white halo acted as a protective shield, enveloping the raft within it.
The sound of waves crashing against the armor gradually became monotonous and hypnotic.
time flies.
Three o'clock in the morning.
This is when a person is sleeping the most soundly.
This is also when the sea is at its most ferocious.
"Buzz—"
A very subtle yet profound tremor came without warning.
It's not the wind.
It's not a joke.
The sound seemed to come from the depths of the ocean, or from a very distant place, following the seawater, along the steel base, and directly into the bones.
In the water glass on the bedside table.
Dense ripples spread across the water's surface.
next second.
Qin Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
There wasn't a trace of sleepiness in those eyes.
Qingming Festival.
Cold and frigid.
It was as if he hadn't slept at all, but was just resting with his eyes closed.
The S-grade bed has such a powerful deep sleep effect; four hours is enough for him to recover to his peak condition.
The slightest disturbance would trigger his enhanced perception, amplified by the system.
"shock?"
Qin Yu did not get up immediately.
Instead, she remained lying down, quietly sensing the movements beneath her.
The frequency is very low.
The wavelength is very long.
This wasn't the sharp, jolting sensation of a monster crashing into a raft.
This is more like...
The resonance caused by the movement of some enormous object.
"An earthquake? Or a tsunami precursor?"
Qin Yu lifted the blanket.
Her movements were as light as a cat's.
He didn't turn on the light.
Darkness is the best cover.
He grabbed the S-class hunting rifle that was placed next to his pillow.
The cold touch of the gun instantly put him into combat mode.
I walked to the window.
Look out through the gaps in the wooden planks.
Outside, it was still a deathly black.
Outside the aperture, nothing can be seen.
But he could sense it.
The wind direction has changed.
The sea breeze, which was originally salty and damp, now carried a strange smell.
Earthy smell.
and also……
The smell of rotting wood.
"land?"
Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Where does the earthy smell come from on this vast ocean?
unless……
He pushed open the door and stepped barefoot onto the solid wood floor without making a sound.
We arrived at the second-floor terrace.
The sea breeze rushed fiercely into the collar of my pajamas.
It's a bit chilly.
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the due south direction.
There.
It was a darkness deeper than the night itself.
"System, activate night vision mode."
Although he didn't have specialized night vision equipment, his enhanced physical abilities gave him eyesight far exceeding that of ordinary people.
His pupils contracted slightly.
The darkness before my eyes gradually became more layered.
Followed by.
Qin Yu's pupils suddenly dilated.
It was about two kilometers away from the raft.
A mountain.
No.
It was a huge black shadow, standing silently on the sea!
It's too big.
It's at least ten times bigger than that small island with wild boars!
Like a sleeping prehistoric behemoth, most of its body is hidden underwater, with only its ferocious back showing.
The dead Wang Meng was right.
There really is a large island.
and.
It is moving.
That deep humming sound is the sound of the island pushing the seawater away.
"Is it a floating island?"
Qin Yu gripped the gun tightly in his hand.
My heart skipped a beat twice uncontrollably.
fear?
No.
It's greed.
It is the instinct of a hunter when he sees a huge prey he has never seen before, a mixture of vigilance and excitement.
Such a big island.
What will be up there?
That idiot Wang Meng dared to charge in with just a broken axe; he was asking for death.
But if this island is a resource...
That's a gold mine!
The rafts of today have two-story buildings and armor.
But in the end, it's still a floating coffin.
Too many things are missing.
soil.
vegetables.
There are also ores.
The meager profits he made from selling water were simply not enough for him to establish true maritime hegemony.
"Chance."
Qin Yu murmured something under his breath.
The sound was carried away by the sea breeze.
Just then.
The door to the next room creaked open.
Yao Xue came out wearing a coat.
He was clutching a scalpel tightly in his hand.
Her face was pale; she had clearly been awakened by the tremor.
Seeing Qin Yu standing by the railing, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then tensed up again.
"Qin Yu..."
"You felt it too?"
Qin Yu did not turn around.
He simply raised his hand and pointed due south.
"Look over there."
Yao Xue looked in the direction he was pointing.
At first, she saw nothing.
But as the eyes adapt to the darkness, that enormous outline gradually takes shape on the retina.
"hiss--"
A gasp escaped his lips.
Yao Xue almost dropped her scalpel.
"That...that is..."
That's where Wang Meng died.
Qin Yu's voice was frighteningly calm.
"Or rather, similar islands."
"So big..."
Yao Xue's voice trembled.
As human beings, fear is an instinct when faced with such a colossal creature beyond our comprehension.
Should we run?
She asked instinctively.
"If we change course while it's headwind, we should be able to avoid it."
"run?"
Qin Yu turned around.
By the faint light cast from the top of the mast.
Yao Xue saw his face.
There was not a trace of fear on that face.
A near-manic smile even lingered on his lips.
His eyes burned with intensity, as if they were on fire.
"Why run?"
Qin Yu patted the cold iron railing.
It made a crisp "clang" sound.
"Yao Xue".
"Remember this sentence."
"At sea."
"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish."
He looked at the island, which resembled a demon god, as if it were his own backyard.
"Up there."
"We have the soil we need."
"We have the mineral we need."
"Perhaps there's something that can actually make this ship fly."
Qin Yu withdrew his gaze and glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist.
3:30 a.m.
There are still two hours until dawn.
"Go back to sleep."
As he passed by Yao Xue, he said something casually.
"what?"
Yao Xue was stunned.
With such a huge threat right in front of you, why are you still sleeping?
"Get enough rest and energy."
Qin Yu pushed open the door to his room and paused for a moment.
He said with his back to Yao Xue:
"At daybreak."
"Let's go to the island."
"I'm going to empty this island."
The door clicked shut.
Yao Xue was left standing alone in the cold wind, staring at the huge black shadow, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
madman.
This man is absolutely insane.
But I don't know why.
Looking at the tightly closed door.
The fear of the unknown that she felt miraculously dissipated by most.
Instead.
It's a kind of inexplicable, boiling passion.
If you follow him.
perhaps……
Is this island really just a larger supermarket?
Yao Xue took a deep breath.
He gripped the scalpel tightly in his hand.
He turned around and went back to his room.
