The problem is that, despite the fact that the proportion of women in the city as a whole is relatively high due to war and death, the proportion of women in the outer ring is relatively low.

Simply put, even if some homeless women appear on the outer ring road, they will quickly disappear.

Without the church's protection, most of them would end up like stray mother cats.

She kept getting pregnant, then giving birth or having a miscarriage.

They get pregnant again soon after giving birth, and the cycle repeats itself, so most of them don't live long.

Even though it may be less, it will still account for a certain proportion.

But there are absolutely no women here.

If we infer the cause from the result, then the answer will be rather harsh.

The women here are in a worse situation than the homeless women in the outer ring area; they die without even having the chance to get pregnant.

So when those people's eyes lingered on Tu Qi, Zuo Le became wary.

However, they remained peaceful as they walked to the small boat.

"Brother Liu."

"You're here?"

"Okay, let's check the goods."

Liu Guodong and the recipient here had already stacked several items of goods. Zuo Le didn't just wave goodbye and leave. Instead, he opened each box and carefully inspected them.

Aside from the bizarre skeletons, shells, and teeth that can be preserved in a conventional way.

There were also some sealed items, such as bizarre dried meat, and blood in bottles.

It's clear that this is already a very complete industrial chain.

After checking everything, Zuo Le nodded to the contact person on the shore.

"Okay."

After the delivery was completed, Zuo Le looked at Tu Qi standing to the side:

"Okay, all done."

Upon hearing this address, Tu Qi glanced at him, her voice remaining as cool and aloof as before:

"Don't I have a name?"

"what?"

Zuo Le's expression stiffened, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

It's clearly her who's been ignoring me, isn't it?

Why does it seem like he's in the wrong?

"No, oh well, let's get on the boat."

Tu Qi walked silently to the bow of the ship, but when she stood still, she adjusted her mask and secretly pressed a corner of her mouth.

Liu Guodong also boarded the ship to start a fire.

Only Zuo Le remained standing at the stern, his expression always solemn.

The situation did not change even after the small boat was launched.

From the gaps in the mushroom grove at the edge of their line of sight, there were always a few people watching them. These people had been there ever since he and Tuqi left the central hut.

Zuo Le had already prepared for the possibility of an attack.

But even after they boarded the ship and started the engine, none of them made a move.

But this is what Zuo Le is most worried about.

Their surveillance was not over.

This means there is a possibility of taking action at sea, attacking ships.

The nature of battles on land and at sea is completely different.

If a battle breaks out on land, he only needs to kill quickly and doesn't need to consider anything else.

But if a battle breaks out at sea, he has to protect the ship and even the people.

And the worst-case scenario is that the other side scuttles the ship...

Although he is a good swimmer, that's only if he knows the way and has a direction.

If you were to leave him on a dusty, foggy sea, without direction or guidance, and he might even be attacked by strange creatures in the ocean, it would be very difficult for him to survive.

Zuo Le glanced at Tu Qi at the bow of the ship. He wondered if Tu Qi would intervene if a battle really broke out.

Although I've never seen her fight, as a saintess, she must be very strong, right?

After a moment's thought, the small boat had already sailed away from the mushroom forest.

But as soon as we arrived at the rafting area, the small boat rocked violently, as if the propeller was stuck by something.

"Damn it, what is that? Is it covered in seaweed?" Liu Guodong frowned and quickly turned off the engine to prevent it from burning out.

He then grabbed a rope and was about to climb off the boat to check.

However, Zuo Le stepped forward and stopped him:

"Brother Liu, don't worry, just stop the boat, I'll go take a look, it'll be a good opportunity to practice."

As Zuo Le spoke, he kept giving Liu Guodong meaningful glances.

The old man also realized something was wrong, and while responding to the signal with his eyes, he took a gun from the cabin:

"Okay, go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things."

Tuqi, standing at the bow of the boat, turned around and glanced at him.

Zuo Le stared at him for a moment, his eyes seeming to be giving an explanation.

He grabbed a rope and jumped into the water with a splash.

The moment he entered the water, Zuo Le felt someone stabbing him with a knife.

His figure blurred instantly, and the attacker passed right through him from behind.

With his fingers on the man's neck, Zuo Le slit his throat and then delivered two more stabs to his back.

Just after dealing with the man, Zuo Le suddenly felt a tightness in his ankle.

Someone had tied a chain ball to his ankle.

The weight of the hammer instantly dragged him into the sea.

Just when the attackers thought they had succeeded, Zuo Le's figure vanished again, reappearing behind one of the attackers. He slit the attacker's throat with a knife, then stabbed another person to death with a backhand.

After killing several people, Zuo Le was already planning to go aboard the boat to get some fresh air.

Unfortunately, he lacked night vision and his perception was only average. Furthermore, his pistol could not be fired underwater as it was prone to exploding. In short, night combat underwater was the worst possible fighting environment for him.

At that moment, a dark shadow hurtled towards Zuo Le.

Zuo Le drew his short sword to meet the enemy, but as the enemy drew closer, he realized something was wrong.

A human body is not that big.

It's a shark!

boom!

The entire small boat shook violently from the impact, and Zuo Le's figure instantly appeared in the center of the boat. He held the head of the hammerhead shark in one hand and a sword in the other, breathing slightly heavily.

In just a few dozen breaths, he had killed five people.

They even chopped off the head of the hammerhead shark that attacked them.

But this was clearly just an appetizer. Soon, a muscular man with a buzz cut leaped onto the water and stood at the stern of the boat, holding a large knife.

The man with the buzz cut looked directly past Zuo Le and landed on Tu Qi, while letting out a strange laugh:

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Hahahaha..."

Suddenly, he brought his knife down and plunged it into the hull of the ship.

Chapter 102 Women's Minds Are Hard to Guess

Zuo Le frowned, his attention focused on the person, when a strange movement came from behind him.

Another person had quietly boarded the boat at some unknown time.

Holding a short knife, he had almost reached Liu Guodong's back!

However, Liu Guodong was no pushover either. He had been sailing for many years without capsizing. He was just old, not dead!

The moment the other person got close enough, he suddenly turned around and grabbed the back of the other person's knife with his left hand.

While the outlaw was momentarily stunned, Liu Guodong, disregarding his own injuries, pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed the man twice in the neck.

"You son of a bitch."

Fresh blood gushed out like a jet of water.

But even those without the law are ruthless.

Despite his injuries, he withdrew the dagger and stabbed Liu Guodong in the kidneys.

The two of them fell into the water together.

Zuo Le remained motionless, his attention fixed on the crew-cut man opposite him.

Moreover, he had a feeling that the moment he turned around, the other party would definitely launch a surprise attack.

The two remained locked in a stalemate.

Seeing Liu Guodong and his companions stabbing each other, wrestling, and falling into the water, Zuo Le, completely disregarding the situation, taunted them:

"So ruthless? They just stand by and watch their own people die?"

"You are a martial artist," Zuo Le replied simply.

This man with the buzz cut is far more dangerous than the one who just capsized onto the boat.

With his buzz cut and triangular eyes, the man exerted his strength again, using his broadsword to cut a gash in the hull, causing the small boat to fill with more and more seawater.

"The ship is sinking, why aren't you doing anything?"

"Hmm, no rush."

Zuo Le's calmness, on the contrary, made the crew-cut man restrain his expression. He drew his broadsword and pointed it at Tu Qi behind Zuo Le:

"You're quite generous. I can do without the cargo, but I haven't touched a woman in a year and a half. You keep her, and we can each make a concession."

Zuo Le didn't say anything.

Putting aside the fact that his mission was to escort Tu Qi back, they could even temporarily ignore their past.

Just take our interactions from two weeks ago as an example.

Tuqi's help in his cultivation and the impetus of the forbidden summoning played an undeniable role.

They are friends, and their relationship is guaranteed to be good.

No upper limit...

So what this person said and his eyes made Zuo Le feel uncomfortable.

When Zuo Le kills someone, he usually uses "sorry" to forgive his sins.

But when it comes to this person...

"Fuck you!"

Gathering strength and assuming a charging stance, he lunges forward.

Because of the spirit infusion, this move, which gathers and infuses energy, reveals the full sharpness of Zuo Le's short sword.

Seeing Zuo Le thrusting straight at him, the man with the crew cut raised his knife and slashed.

The broadsword is against the short sword; the advantage lies with me!

But when the blade touched his head, the skull did not separate. It was as if the short-haired man's broadsword had struck a fog, and that fog was rushing towards him again.
