I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 300 Everyone, You Are Surrounded by Me
"What's wrong?" asked Meizi.

"Does anyone know how to drive a boat?" Shen Lang asked, "There are still many terrorists on board, so we can't let our guard down."

Meng Bo immediately said, "What my friend said is true. There are still many terrorists on board. We must not let our guard down."

Then he looked at Shen Lang and asked, "What are your thoughts, friend?"

"What insights can I offer?" Shen Lang asked calmly, "Do you expect me to be able to drive a boat? Or do you expect me to kill those terrorists on the boat by myself?"

"Uh..." Meng Bo was suddenly speechless.

Qingzi thought for a moment, then came to him, grabbed his arm, and said, "Look how pitiful these hostages are. Their families are waiting for them to come back. Why don't you help them?"

"Miss, you are really generous to others. My family is also waiting for my return." Shen Lang glanced at her, "Their lives are lives, so how can mine not be a life?"

"But..." Qingzi hesitated and said, "You are very skilled."

Shen Lang glanced at her and said, "Just because I'm so skilled, do I have to save people everywhere? To me, everyone's life is important, and it's not important either."

After a pause, he added, "If every person in danger needed me to save them, then there are tens of thousands of people in this world who lose their lives every day due to hunger or robbery. Wouldn't I have to donate all my wealth to save them?"

Hearing this, Qingzi quickly responded: "I'm not asking you to save everyone, I just hope you can help and rescue the people on this ship."

Her eyes were full of earnestness and expectation.

Shen Lang shook his head and slowly explained, "Although I am very skilled, my martial arts skills were not acquired through begging. In addition, I have already used up all the Qi I had accumulated with great difficulty in order to kill those bandits. I am now in a very difficult situation."

"What should we do?" Qingzi's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she looked panic-stricken.

"How would I know what to do?" Shen Lang asked, "Besides, not everyone will be willing to accept my rescue. Why would I bother myself with trying to get someone else's help?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hostages who had been silent suddenly became excited and started shouting one after another.

"Sir, please save me! I am very willing to be saved by you." One of the men shouted in a trembling voice.

"That's right, sir. I also really want your rescue. And my wife, please!" Another middle-aged man held the hand of the woman next to him tightly and pleaded together.

"Sir, please save us. We really don't want to die like this." A young woman pleaded with tears streaming down her face.

For a while, various cries for help were heard one after another.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Lang, because he was now everyone's last hope of survival.

Yazi and Yue Huizhen came to his side, and Yazi whispered, "You really can't save them?"

"Miss, do you think I'm a god? Besides, these people are not related to me at all, why should I meddle in their affairs?" Shen Lang said, "It's not easy to be a good person in this world today."

Le Huizhen thought for a moment and said, "But we can't just leave them here, right?"

Huixiang and Ah Ping came over and said in unison, "Yeah, are we really going to just ignore it?"

Shen Lang was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It's not that I don't want to save him, it's just that it's difficult to cultivate true Qi. But there are ways, it's just..."

"Just what?" Meizi immediately looked at him.

Shen Lang's eyes swept over the faces of several people and said, "I practice the method of dual cultivation. If I want to gain internal strength, I must practice dual cultivation with a woman. Are you willing to practice dual cultivation with me?"

"Ah? Dual cultivation?" Le Huizhen was shocked.

The remaining women had different expressions.

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I have more girlfriends. It's also because of this that I was able to unleash such a powerful Qi. But unfortunately, I have already used it up. If you practiced dual cultivation with me, we would definitely be able to save the rest of them."

"Uh..." Yazi looked at Le Huizhen cautiously, and for a moment she didn't know whether what he said was true or false.

Le Huizhen also looked hesitant, but thinking about how many girlfriends he had, she said, "I can practice dual cultivation with you, but I don't know if they are willing."

"Ladies, these people's lives are in your hands now. Are you willing to practice dual cultivation to save them?" Shen Lang asked, "You are the saviors now, not me."

Yazi glanced back at the hostages behind her. Seeing the expectation in their eyes, she bit her lip and said, "As long as you can really save them, I, I am willing..."

"Hui Xiang, what about you?" Shen Lang looked at Hui Xiang again.

Huixiang was stunned. "I, I...how can this have anything to do with me?"

Ah Ping had been waiting for a long time, but was too embarrassed to speak, and seemed hesitant for a moment.

"Are we not enough?" Yazi looked at Shen Lang suspiciously.

Shen Lang said, "Of course it's not enough. Do you really think I'm invincible? Moreover, at such a critical moment, I won't indulge in beauty and sacrifice my reputation. If you don't want to, forget it. These people have nothing to do with me anyway. Save whoever you want."

"Well, well..." Ah Ping raised her hand and said righteously, "To save them, I'm willing to sacrifice myself."

Qingzi bit her lip and said, "I, I am willing too."

"Okay, although you are a steamed bun, I will reluctantly agree since you are so kind-hearted." Shen Lang nodded.

Seeing so many people agree, Huixiang felt very conflicted.

She asked tentatively, "Is it not possible with all of them?"

"Do you think this is as simple as 1+1 equals 2?" Shen Lang said, "Martial arts are something profound and mysterious. If you don't want to, forget it. I won't force you."

Huixiang frowned. What happened not long ago could be said to be due to poisoning.

But now that the choice is truly in her hands, she can't make a decision.

Shen Lang sighed: "Look at how pitiful these people are. Their families are waiting for them to return. If they can't be saved, their families will be torn apart and their families will be in tears all day long."

"I, I'm willing!" Huixiang bit her lip and made up her mind, "But you have to make sure you can save these people!"

"No problem. As long as I recover my power, it won't be the hostages being held hostage by the bandits, but the bandits being surrounded by me alone!" Shen Lang said, "There's no time to lose. Yazi, first have Meng Bo arrange a safe place for these people, and then we'll hurry to recover our power."

Under Yazi's arrangement, Meng Bo and several strong men quickly gathered the hostages together.

The handsome gambler also came to help, he called himself the Prodigal Gundam.

Shen Lang said that he had to hurry up to recover his strength and hoped that they could hold on.

However, the bandits were busy preparing their defensive deployments at this time.

Because just now there were a few sneaky bandits hiding in the distance and observing the situation on the deck.

However, he did not expect to see his originally fine companion suddenly torn into pieces as if by an invisible giant hand, with blood splattering everywhere.

This extremely horrifying scene made the gangsters terrified and scared out of their wits.

Everyone hurried to take this terrible information back as quickly as possible.

After describing everything you saw.

Someone immediately jumped up in disbelief: "This is too much! How could someone suddenly kill so many of our brothers? This is simply a fairy tale!"

The bandit who reported the news turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "We all saw it with our own eyes. Not only could that guy catch bullets with his bare hands, but he also killed many of our brothers in the blink of an eye. Those brothers were suddenly blown away. It was so terrifying!"

After hearing this, the others were still skeptical and asked, "Did it really explode? Are you seeing things?"

"It's absolutely true! I saw it clearly, it really exploded. You didn't see it with your own eyes. The scene just now was so scary!" "Yes, I saw it too!"

"I saw it too!"

Seeing so many people claiming to have seen it with their own eyes, everyone suddenly fell into panic and didn't know what to do.

Someone anxiously asked, "What should we do now? The colonel is dead, and we've lost so many men. Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"

At this time, someone came up with a bold idea: "Why not just abandon the ship and run away!"

But this proposal was immediately opposed by others: "Abandon ship? Are you crazy? It's late at night, and there's an endless ocean outside. Where can we run? Even if we jump into the sea, we will die!"

For a time, there were different opinions and no consensus.

Some people advocated a head-on battle with the formidable enemy, but many others felt that doing so would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

Others thought it would be better to hold on here, because they had sophisticated weapons and equipment and strong firepower, so they could hold on for tonight and then look for an opportunity to break out after daybreak.

After a heated debate, everyone finally reached a consensus.

"Let's do this. Hold on here until daybreak!"

So, this group of frightened bandits began to nervously set up defensive fortifications.

While the bandits were busy setting up fortifications.

Shen Lang was also looking for a room with several girls and started working.

Due to time constraints, he tried to shorten the time it took for each person to recover their power to within twenty minutes.

Even so, Meizi and others had to endure life and death several times.

Although no bandits came to attack.

But during this period, the hostages gathered together were shrouded in fear.

Someone whispered, "Why hasn't that expert come yet? Could he have run away?"

"I'm still waiting for him to come and save me. What if he runs away?"

"Yeah, I'm waiting for help too. Where is he now?"

"Who knows where he is now? Don't run, otherwise what will we do?"

"..."

Everyone was talking and getting restless, and the whole scene seemed to be shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

Just now.

Shen Lang just appeared.

When people saw his familiar figure, the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground, and their originally tense nerves relaxed a little.

Then they all swarmed to Shen Lang, begging him to help them.

For a moment, the hall was filled with people and extremely noisy.

Various prayers and cries mixed together, making people's ears buzz.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" Shen Lang raised his hand. "Everyone, be quiet. I have something to say."

After the voices of the crowd gradually died down.

He then continued, "After a brief recovery, I've only recovered 30% of my strength. There are still quite a few bandits on board. If I were to rescue so many of you, I'd be seriously injured at best, or even killed."

As soon as the voice fell, Yazi, who was standing beside him, looked at Shen Lang with astonishment on her face, lowered her voice and asked softly: "Didn't you do rehabilitation? It's still not working?"

"Do you think I don't want to recover all my strength?" Shen Lang sighed, "But you guys are just a drop in the bucket."

Upon hearing this, Yazi immediately frowned.

Suddenly, an anxious voice rang out from the crowd: "Master, what do you mean by this? Don't you want to save us?"

Then, another person shouted, "Master, as long as you can save my wife and I, I'm willing to pay any price! Please!"

More people echoed this sentiment, saying they were willing to pay any price to keep their lives safe.

"In that case, each person will receive HK$500,000," Shen Lang said. "That's HK$500,000 for each family, and HK$500,000 for each person! I believe you are willing to pay HK$500,000, right?"

Hui Xiang was shocked and whispered, "After you asked us to accompany you in dual cultivation, you still want to ask them for money? Are you taking advantage of both?"

Le Huizhen, A Ping, Qingzi and others were also shocked.

"What do you mean by eating from both ends? The money I collected is for you." Shen Lang also explained in a low voice, "If it weren't for them, you wouldn't practice dual cultivation with me, so the losses must be paid by them!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Ping's eyes lit up and she nodded, saying, "That's a good idea. Let's do it!"

"But..." Meizi thought about it. Although she felt that this was not a good idea, it seemed to make sense.

Before she could express her thoughts, Shen Lang said to these people, "I know you don't have cash on you right now. Checks or IOUs are fine, but don't even think about running away. Don't even think about going to Taiwan or Japan first and then slipping away. Otherwise, I'll kill anyone who refuses to pay in a minute."

After a brief silence, someone shouted, "I'll pay!"

“I’ll pay too!”

"And me, I'm willing to give you 500,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"..."

"Hui Xiang, A Ping, go get the checks and IOUs," Shen Lang instructed. "The bandits might be about to attack us. Time is running out, so hurry up."

The hostages became even more terrified and began to look for paper and pen.

Although Meng Bo felt something was wrong, he couldn't save so many people by himself, so he could only sit there and do nothing.

Big Foot came up to Huixiang and asked in a low voice: "What did you do just now? Why did you take so long?"

"Nothing." Hui Xiang said unhappily, "Go and collect the money for me."

With her words, Big Foot immediately took action.

After receiving a bag full of IOUs and checks, Shen Lang said, "Everyone, I'm not just making money from refugees now. I've also paid for it. Since I've received your money, I will definitely protect you! Now I'm going to eliminate those bandits. Everyone, wait for my good news!"

He really needs to eliminate the bandits now, because he, Shen Lang, is a man of integrity.

Although he insisted on going alone, Yazi was worried about his safety, so she prepared her weapons and followed him.

After some searching, they successfully found the place where the criminals were hiding.

Shen Lang shouted to the inside: "Listen up, everyone inside, you are surrounded by me, put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise I will kill you without mercy!"
