Chapter 668: Chapter 668 On the Way
Tiezhu truly despised those stowaways from the bottom of his heart because he worked in this line; he knew very well that almost all stowaways either couldnāt make it in Huaxia or had committed grave errors and were fleeing for their lives.
Even if they were to smuggle into other countries without Huaxia as a protective backing, the stowawaysā lives were extremely miserable!
Almost ninety percent of the stowaways would end up as beggars, the women turning into prostitutes, surviving by selling their bodies, and those who might reverse their fates were almost nonexistent!
After lecturing this man, Tiezhu also felt the unpleasant smell below deck and then turned around, slammed the door shut and left, dropping these words as he did so, "Donāt go out unless itās necessary, or if I see you... hmph hmph!"
With the door locked, the room below deck turned pitch black immediately, the dim light flickering, casting a sense of desperation.
The atmosphere in the cabin was very oppressive, and it smelled awful; everyone was curled up in a corner, looking frightened and listless.
After scanning the room, Ling Feng leaned into a corner, closed his eyes and rested. Despite the harsh conditions here, they couldnāt trouble Ling Feng at all. Now his priority was to conserve energy, for he didnāt know if he would have another chance to rest.

The little boat was slow and rocky, and after a while, a man couldnāt bear it any longer. He knocked on the door, "I need a restroom, I need to use the toilet!"
At that point, Tiezhuās lazy voice came through, "Thereās a chamber pot in the corner of the cabin; just use that!"
The manās face changed, "You want us to relieve ourselves in the cabin? Thatās impossible!"
Ling Feng frowned, no wonder the smell at the bottom of the cabin was so foul and sickening.
"If you donāt want to defecate, just hold it in!" Tiezhu sneered, "Or maybe just do it in your pants, that wouldnāt be too bad."
"You..." The manās complexion shifted, but recalling Tiezhuās towering figure and terrifying force, he eventually went back and sat down, cursing under his breath.
About an hour later, someone finally couldnāt hold it in any longer! When nature calls, one canāt always hold it in, right?
Moreover, since they were heading to Fusang and still had over thirty hours of voyage left, constantly holding it in would really turn them into Ninjas!
One man couldnāt bear it any longer; he groped for the chamber pot and then took off his pants to relieve himself.
Instantly, an unbearable stench filled the entire cabin!
Ugh! At once, everyone else started gagging, and by now, they were all extremely hungry; besides vomiting stomach acid, there was nothing else they could throw up.
Ling Feng frowned, his fingers lightly flicked, and a transparent Protective Barrier appeared around him, instantly isolating the foul smell.
Seeing one man leading, others became impatient to relieve themselves as well.
"So disgusting!" At that moment, the mother and daughter near Ling Feng couldnāt help but whisper softly.
Ling Fengās expression became stern, and he involuntarily looked towards the mother and daughter.
Though both were dirty from head to toe, Ling Feng could tell from the spirited look in the girlās eyes that this seventeen-or-eighteen-year-old girl was certainly not lacking in beauty.
However, it was understandable that they were not dressed up nicely; perhaps if they were, they might not even make it to Fusang without being tormented to death! The abuse of smuggling women was not uncommon among smugglers.
However, what interested Ling Feng was that the young girl had actually spoken in Fusang language!
Although the voice was very soft, and others couldnāt hear it, Ling Feng heard it loud and clear!
"Interesting! There are even people from Fusang trying to smuggle back to their own country," Ling Feng couldnāt help but start speculating about the girlās identity.
Suddenly, the door opened, and several dark objects were thrown in, followed by Tiezhuās voice, "This is your food, eat it if you donāt want to starve... Damn, just a bunch of good-for-nothing trash. It really stinks!"
Looking at the round, dark rice balls on the floor, no one went to pick them up, as they looked too disgusting, like steamed buns covered in black mold that had been left out for days.
Gurgling, although they looked disgusting, everyone present was hungry.
A man couldnāt help but lick his lips and said fiercely, "Iām going for it, even if itās poisoned, itās better than starving to death! I never thought Iād see the day. Once I rise again, Iām definitely going to make them pay!"
As he spoke, the man grabbed a rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
Six rice balls, ten peopleāthe rice balls were quickly snatched up; aside from Ling Feng and the mother and daughter, there was a man who didnāt get any, and he could only glare resentfully at the others.
"Hey, why are you all going to Fusang?" At this moment, the man who was first to grab a rice ball couldnāt help but speak, "Weāve still got over thirty hours to go; we canāt keep suffocating like this, can we?"
"Do I have to tell you?" retorted the man who didnāt get a rice ball, "If I could make it in Huaxia, who would want to go to Fusang!"
At that moment, the man who got the rice ball first stared at the speaking man and suddenly said, "Youāre the chairman of the Yelu Group, Chen Ge, arenāt you?"
Chen Geās body trembled. He stared at the speaking man, "Who are you? How do you know me?"
"Haha, there arenāt many who donāt know you now!" the man sneered, "Embezzling public funds, using substandard materials, which caused a newly built elementary school to collapse in just three days, killing nineteen and injuring seventy-five. No wonder you want to smuggle to Fusang. Given your crimes, being executed a thousand times wouldnāt be enough!"
Chen Ge glared fiercely at the man, "Donāt act like youāre so noble; arenāt you also smuggling to Fusang?"
The man disdainfully said, "Do you think Iām like you? I, Sun Jun, have already killed more than twenty people like you."
Upon hearing the manās name, Chen Ge was startled, then spoke with some fear, "You are... you are the murderous demon, Sun Jun?"
Sun Jun smiled, showing his white teeth, "Yes, itās me!"
Ling Feng, hearing Sun Junās name, also remembered.
There had been news on TV before about a murder case in the Northwest, where a local secretary and a coal mine boss among more than twenty people were all killed during a banquet, their heads and blood spread across the floor. On the wall was written in blood, "The murderer, Sun Jun."
It was discovered upon investigation that due to the local coal mine not meeting safety standards, a mining accident occurred, burying over thirty miners and turning them into wronged souls.
To cover up the crime, the local coal mine owner and secretary joined forces to suppress the news and even stopped the visitations of the victimsā families.
Sun Junās father was also a victim. In revenge, Sun Jun infiltrated the hotel hosting the banquet for the mine owners, poisoned their drinks, and once the poison took effect, Sun Jun killed all those mine owners, seeking justice for the deceased souls.
