Chapter 861: Stealing the Communicator

Che Haicheng's words successfully drew everyone's attention onto him.

“Mr. Che, do you have any ideas?”

Xie Yunfan asked eagerly.

Rudolf also asked curiously, “Do you have a way to make sure they won’t notice the communicator is stolen for at least ten minutes?”

Che Haicheng chuckled, “I have a plan. Though it’s a bit risky, it’s worth a shot. After all, fortune favors the bold!”

Bai Mo said, “Stop teasing us. Just tell us how you plan to do it.”

Che Haicheng slowly revealed his idea.

This matter required the help of another person.

No one else but Che Haicheng’s wife, Kim Kimee.

Mentioning Kim Kimee, strange glimmers appeared in Rudolf and the others’ eyes.

That former New Rohan girl group member was, apart from her beauty and flirtatiousness, practically useless.

Back on Rockflow Island, Che Haicheng had used her to trade for a lot of daily supplies.

It could even be said that during the time Che Haicheng was out taking a leak, he could meet ten old customers who had traded with her.

Kim Kimee’s intelligence wasn’t high. After marrying Che Haicheng, she lived like a wealthy wife.

Even in the apocalypse, she had no independent will and always obeyed Che Haicheng’s orders.

Whatever Che Haicheng asked her to do, except for telling her to die, she would comply.

As for after boarding the ship, Kim Kimee hadn’t stopped having some kind of dealings with the people on board.

Especially those sailors, who could be considered her benefactors.

Che Haicheng didn’t mind being cuckolded at all.

As a shrewd New Rohan politician, he had no sense of morality or shame. As long as it maximized his interests, even if every man on the ship cuckolded him, he wouldn’t bat an eye.

“We can wait for a good opportunity. Old Xie in the kitchen is a lecher; he’s been involved with my wife for a long time.”

“Next time he comes to deliver food, I’ll have Kim Kimee seduce him.”

“At that time, the job of delaying will be done by her. Meanwhile, you all must hurry to complete our plan!”

Hearing Che Haicheng’s spirit of dedication, everyone was very moved.

Rudolf even said, “Mr. Che, since you’re so generous, even offering your wife, why don’t I also…”

Che Haicheng sneered, “As long as you work well, I can let her accompany you!”

Rudolf was delighted, “Rest assured, this is a minor matter for me.”

Xie Yunfan raised a question.

“This method is indeed good, but isn’t ten minutes a bit too long? Is that cook reliable?”

Che Haicheng was full of confidence.

“Don’t forget, my wife is a professional!”

“When we were still in New Rohan, she was known far and wide as a war goddess!”

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Being cuckolded and still proudly saying it aloud—no one else but Che Haicheng could do that.

Che Haicheng was completely unfazed, “Because that’s how I met her, so I know well.”

The so-called girl group member was just a plaything for some people in their eyes.

Che Haicheng married her for convenience in his career. Once she grew old and lost her beauty, a sum of money would send her away.

The group divided the tasks.

Che Haicheng’s wife Kim Kimee was responsible for seducing Xie Changming.

Then pickpocket Rudolf would take advantage of the opportunity to steal his communicator.

It would then be handed to Eisenmann to operate, contacting the Columbus Ocean fleet.

Others were responsible for lookout, preventing accidents.

If any unexpected situation occurred, they would pretend that Xie Changming accidentally dropped the communicator, and then return it.

Since Xie Changming’s attention would be on Kim Kimee, he might not notice the theft.

However, if they failed this time, it might make Xie Changming suspicious, making it extremely difficult to use the same trick next time!

So, their chances were slim, probably only once.

…

The weather on the sea suddenly began to worsen.

Zhang Yi and the others had been at sea for two or three months, but this was the first time they encountered such terrible weather.

The storm mercilessly howled across the sea, roaring like a monster.

Wave after wave surged, the crests rising like mountains.

The massive Golden Edge seemed like a small boat in these giant waves, as if it could capsize at any moment.

Many on board were terrified; some had already started praying to God.

In Zhu Yunque’s room, Tommy wailed uncontrollably, his fear making him restless, unable to stop crying.

Zhu Yunque and Su Nuanxi clung tightly to the bed legs to avoid being thrown out.

Hearing the annoying crying at their ears, the usual kindness in their eyes was replaced by disgust as they glared at the wailing baby.

“This is so damn annoying!”

Zhu Yunque thought bitterly.

“If I had known, I shouldn’t have brought you on board!”

There was one thing she never dared to say aloud—that she had even felt the urge to throw him into the sea several times.

…

Zhang Yi was slightly uncomfortable. Though he didn’t get seasick, such violent rocking unsettled his mind.

Fortunately, the furniture in the cabin was fixed in place, so there was no worry about injuries.

“Ke’er, you stay here and rest. I’m going to the control room to have a look.”

Zhang Yi was uneasy. For some reason, he had a subtle premonition.

Something must be lurking deep in the sea, secretly watching the Golden Edge, watching him.

Zhang Yi couldn’t forget the look in the Fin Dragon’s eyes when he grievously wounded it—it resembled the hatred of a resentful human.

So, during the return voyage, he checked the control room daily and ordered the crew to monitor sonar and radar closely.

Any abnormalities must be reported to him immediately.

Zhang Yi used spatial traversal and instantly arrived at the control room.

The situation here was somewhat better.

The crew had seen many storms of this magnitude before; their faces showed little fear and they even chatted leisurely.

After all, given the Golden Edge’s tonnage and quality, it could fully withstand this level of storm.

But for Zhang Yi, looking through the window at the vast and terrifying scene outside, the shock in his heart was indescribable.

“Won’t the ship capsize?”

Zhang Yi couldn’t help but ask.

The ship suddenly fell silent. All the crew looked at him with extremely strange eyes.

Old Tian walked over and said, “Mr. Zhang, you can’t say that word on the ship. It’s very unlucky.”

“What word?”

Old Tian said, “‘Capsize.’”

Zhang Yi smiled, “There’s such a taboo?”

Old Tian said, “Don’t worry. With us here and this world-class Golden Edge, we’re not afraid of storms like this!”

Zhang Yi nodded. This was the advantage of having veteran sailors who knew how to handle danger.

Suddenly, a distant long wail sounded in Zhang Yi’s ear.

The sound was very strange, distant and prolonged, muffled and hollow, as if crossing endless ages to reach them, sending chills down one’s spine.

Zhang Yi’s brow furrowed sharply like a sword, killing intent permeating the air!

“That guy is here!”

“I knew it was there!”

At the same time, the sonar operator issued a warning to Zhang Yi.

“Mr. Zhang, it appeared! A sea monster has appeared! A huge object is rapidly approaching us from the deep ocean bottom!”
