I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse

Chapter 835 - 925: Heh Heh Heh, We Understand—We’ll Squeeze Every Last Bit from the Pirates

When Yang Yang paused at this point, he continued under the expectant eyes of others:

"Naturally, we should take the initiative to attack without any hesitation. Of course, we’re doing this for our own protection. What if they see us as a big fat lamb and decide to rob us, right? And what if they band together to ambush us on our way back, right?

So we must be proactive! As long as the reconnaissance plane finds pirates within three hundred miles, the task team will strike directly on the same day. Of course, to avoid affecting progress, the main fleet will ferry day and night without stopping, and your task teams will take speedboats to initiate the attacks."

Jing Shu rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking about how familiar this routine was. Are you really going to deal with pirates three hundred miles away? Do you think those pirates are fools? They’d have to be blind to attack a fully armed fleet of hundreds of ferries!

They’re pirates, not dim-witted robots! This is just about training, needing practice, and most importantly, since they’re paying such high wages, they definitely want to make full use of it. The more you can deploy them, the better, so along the journey, of course, you should find more things to keep these national elites busy. You can’t let them idle.

If you’re the boss, you have to get your money’s worth from your employees, right? You might as well strip the skin off the nearby pirates to line your pockets nicely.

So Yang Yang is clearly arranging this way not only to exercise everyone’s cohesion and observe everyone’s abilities and personalities but also, anyone familiar with Yang Yang and Jing Shu knows what it means to be like Zhou Bapi.

Sure enough, Yang Yang continued:

"But remember, when attacking pirates, besides incidental objectives like damaging their ships, our primary objective this time is their equipment and weapons, the fuel supply on their ships, and various foods. So definitely avoid using large-scale weapons and abilities that could destroy our valuable goods.

Of course! Besides strategic materials, everyone can allocate other items however they see fit. The more pirates we capture and the more supplies we gather on this journey, the higher our margin of error. Even if we encounter other incidents, we can handle them comfortably with ample provisions. In the end, even if these things seem useless, I urge everyone to load a little more onto your ships. When we resupply or when our ships are full, we can trade these items on the land black market for other goods. After all, this is all money, right, everyone agrees?"

"Absolutely correct! Don’t worry, Mr. Yang. We’ll rob those pirates until they don’t even have their underwear left!"

"Hehehe, Old Zhang will show them what it means to pluck every feather from a passing goose, definitely taking it to the extreme. By the way, we’ll strip off all their clothes and daily goods clean."

"If all else fails, we could dismantle their pirate ships, the parts are worth a good bit! If worse comes to worst, even the planks could serve as fuel!"

By this point, almost everyone understood, and their eyes began to gleam.

Mr. Yang’s words, though a bit subtle, were quite clear: We’re basically the ancestors of pirates on this route, robbing the pirates of everything, useful or not, first hold onto it, and sell it during resupply, even if it isn’t worth much, it’s definitely no loss!

Initially, some people were starting to question, begging us to hurry along and not worry about pirates within a three hundred mile range, but now, everyone felt that a three hundred mile range was too small, the perspective too narrow, isn’t a five hundred mile range more appealing?

"Mr. Yang, I’m the first to support eliminating harm for the people. The people in Laos are too pitiful. We must wipe out the pirates, but, what about those of us without our own fleet?"

Yang Yang smiled: "When the ferry fleet isn’t full, you can rent them, and the price only requires a little contribution."

With this, everyone chuckled, no longer worried. As long as they plundered pirate goods, they could use the official ferry to store their items and then sell them midway through. How delightful.

So, when Yang Yang arranged the various teams next, everyone agreed with smiles, offering no objections.

Even when arranging shifts for patrol duties, they nearly quarreled.

"Mr. Yang, I’m just saying, their 13th team has two female friends, and they have one more shift rotation, which is too tiring for them. Our team is filled with dudes and can take an extra shift."

"Our team is also willing to help! We’re willing to patrol more often to lighten everyone’s load."

Yang Yang waved his hand: "Alright, if pirates are spotted, although the patrol group takes priority in handling it, if the number is larger or if there are other pirates, everyone will go, don’t worry. Besides, what’s interesting about small pirates? The big ones have the real gains, which will need at least half the teams to deploy."

With this, everyone was relieved and began sharpening their knives eagerly. Some even started instructing their crews through their phones to make arrangements.

This time, Jing Shu was assigned to the 20th team, naturally as the captain, with members Hao Yunlai, Tan Ke, Four-eyed boy, Sichuan Longmen Formation, and Zhang Lang.

Oh, not wrong. Originally, there were five-person teams, but Jing Shu’s team is a six-member one, with Zhang Lang added in.

The primary task for Jing Shu’s team, along with the 1st team, two elite teams, is to protect Zhang Lang’s safety and only then complete some patrol tasks, so their shifts are naturally halved.

Jing Shu glanced at the team configuration, and indeed, it prioritized ensuring Zhang Lang, the young man, had the best configuration, for instance, the new member Sichuan Longmen Formation’s ability is to take people and flee, and their team battle strength is top-notch, thus capable of protecting Zhang Lang.

Jing Shu was actually quite happy with the reduced shifts, given her assets, she didn’t really care for the petty pirate goods.

As for teammates Hao Yunlai and Tan Ke, she knew they weren’t very concerned either, but for Four-eyed boy and the other new teammate Sichuan Longmen Formation, she wasn’t sure of their intentions.

As for the 1st team, the captain and team members’ expressions weren’t great. Their battle strength is top-notch, yet their patrol rotations reduced by half due to needing to protect Zhang Lang, meaning half the chance to rob pirates and earn money was gone, naturally leaving their mood just so-so.

Although they didn’t say anything, Zhang Lang, the young man, still keenly sensed it, even the two straight antennas on his head drooped.

Jing Shu walked over, patted the young Zhang Lang, and smiled: "So, how about it, you’ll be hanging with us soon, have the guts to patrol with us and see some action, maybe kill some pirates?"

Zhang Lang’s eyes lit up: "Can I? Can I go out on patrol too?"
