Chapter Eighty-Seven: Why Must We Have Met Before?

  Next to him, a guy with a murderous look in his eyes stared at him. The attitude was very clear that if Guo Pu didn't move away, he would use the gun to help him move!

  The situation is not good! There are twenty-six pirates, all of whom are seasoned veterans of the battlefield. These guys are hard to deal with! Especially since they're all armed and loaded, Guo Pu has some regrets about not taking action earlier! In this case, it's better to control the giant wheel, at least he can still go to Shanghai. This way, most likely he'll be sold as a duck to Southeast Asia or even Europe!

  That's not what I'm afraid of, what I'm afraid of is drifting at sea for who knows how long, and if we're lucky enough to encounter pirates again, that would be fun!

  It's true, Guo Pu secretly vowed in his heart that he would definitely go buy lottery tickets when he got back!

  He was pushed into the lower hold of the ship, probably because he didn't show much fear towards them. The bastard behind him even gave his ass a vicious kick! Guo Pu stumbled and rushed into a large iron cage, the iron door clanged shut, and was locked with a large iron chain!

  The cabin was very dim, but Guo Pu could see the situation inside clearly! There were no less than thirty people sitting or lying on the ground! Each person had a look of shock and terror on their face! Some people had already become numb! Staring with empty eyes at the newcomer!

  The iron gate was occupied by two men, and Guo Pu was pushed inside as soon as he entered! Guo Pu frowned at the two guys, exchanging a threatening gaze!

  Kuo Pu had encountered such a situation before, two guys at the door, just to grab more food and water!

  To know, this group of pirates would occasionally carry a bucket of water and some food, all thrown into the cabin door like feeding pigs, and everyone had to fight for it in order to eat and drink!

  The strong and powerful can grab food to eat, live a long life. The old, weak, sick or disabled, or those who are not strong enough, naturally have to starve, and it's not uncommon for them to die of hunger even after one or two months at sea!

  Guo Pu didn't care! He ignored the two guys and thought to himself, "I won't bother with you two, but if someone really comes to deliver food later, you two will be left starving!"

  The iron cage was only thirty square meters, but there were more than thirty people inside. Not only was it crowded, but the air was also very stuffy and had a foul smell that was clearly urine odor, which almost suffocated Guo Pu!

  "No way! These years have really been a waste of time! Can't stand this stench! Going back must train properly!"

  He didn't mind the dirt, and sat down on the ground with a plop, starting to circulate his internal energy, strictly controlling the circulation of blood in his body, trying to conserve as much strength and water as possible!

  Just as he was about to enter a meditative state, a few faint coughs came from beside him! He looked at the person who had coughed with some surprise, and relying on his intuition, Guo Pu could tell that it was a woman, not very old, but what entered his eyes was a young man with a dirty face, wearing men's clothes!

  He nodded suddenly, this woman is very clever, if she didn't disguise herself as a man, she would have been doomed long ago! This group of fugitives who don't set foot on land for half a year or even a whole year at sea wouldn't let go of even a slightly handsome man like Guo Pu, let alone a woman! If they knew there was a woman here, I reckon she would have been ravaged to death long ago!

  Guo Pu leaned against the corner, slowly holding his breath, and began to use a breathing technique called Qigong. He slowly breathed through his pores, which was a very profound skill called Tortoise Breathing Technique. After mastering it, he didn't need to breathe through his mouth at all, and even if he were buried alive for several hours, he wouldn't die!

  Guo Pu learned this tortoise breathing technique from that half-magical skill.

  This iron cage is airtight but fortunately there's still enough oxygen inside so the thirty or so people inside won't suffocate.

  But after staying here for a long time, I realized that it's really hot and humid here! Especially with that stench, it's suffocating!

  Especially on the sea, the scorching sun makes the iron plate hot and burning, and it's scalding to get close!

  The woman next to Guo Pu let out another low, muffled cough. She deliberately suppressed her voice, as if afraid that others would hear!

  Guo Pu could tell from the woman's cough that she seemed to have some respiratory problems! And her throat was already a bit hoarse, presumably because she hadn't had water for a long time!

  Guo Pu glanced at the woman and said in a low voice:

  "Put your tongue against the upper jaw, breathe in gently and out heavily, it will be much better!"

  The woman looked at Guo Pu in surprise, her lips moved as if to say thank you, but she didn't say it out loud. Her lips were already dry and cracked! But a pair of eyes was shining brightly, very beautiful!

  Kuo Pu smiled at the woman, pointing to his ear. The woman looked bewildered and subconsciously reached out to touch her own ear, immediately becoming flustered! Her eyes were filled with pleading and fear as she looked at Kuo Pu.

  Guo Pu made a reassuring gesture to her, the woman reached out to touch the ground with one hand and covered up the two ear holes on her ears. She then gave Guo Pu a grateful smile, but it was somewhat forced.

  "Why were you caught here?"

  Guo Pu asked in a low voice in Chinese, and the woman's eyes flashed with surprise. After thinking for a moment, she replied in a low voice:

  "I... was originally going back home, but they caught me and brought me over here!"

  "Huh? Don't worry, I'll take care of you! Where are you from?"

  Yanbian of Jilin!

  "Haha, so you're Korean?"

  The woman, no, should be a girl with sparkling eyes flashing back and forth, which is extremely out of tune with this atmosphere.

  "Hmm! My name is Kimunagi, what's yours?"

  "Me? Ha ha! Why must we have met before? Don't worry, I'll take care of you! If you breathe the way I tell you to, you'll feel much better! When the water is delivered, I'll go get some for you!"

  Jin Yujie looked at the two men at the door with some fear, shook her head, and Guo Pu sneered coldly, saying in a low voice:

  "Don't be afraid! I'm here!"

  Time had passed, and the starving prisoners or cargo were nearing their limits when the hatch above them was suddenly opened. A strong beam of sunlight burst in, followed by two tall black silhouettes emerging from the light. One of them carried a small bucket, and both were muttering curses in English as they walked in! They were basically swearing about something like "son of a bitch" or "pig bastard".

  The iron gate was opened from the outside, and a black ghost suddenly threw in a bucket with a loud crash. The two guys at the door immediately put on a flattering smile, bowing their heads to look at the black ghost, while another black ghost carried water and placed it next to the wooden bucket!

  The wooden bucket previously contained some moldy bread!

  Two black guys seemed to be somewhat impatient, after putting down food and water, they scolded again, one guy seemed to have an opinion about the other guy, and the two of them quarreled in African dialects as they walked out!

  When the iron door was locked and the cabin door was closed, everyone immediately stared at a bucket of water and food, but no one dared to rush up!

  Because those two guys are staring at everyone with eyes like hungry wolves! Jin Yujie trembled all over and whispered to Guo Guang:

  "Don't go! Those two guys are Vietnamese, they've already killed three people over water, let's wait until they're done eating and then we'll go get some leftovers."

  Guo Pu smiled coldly and stood up from the ground, looking at the two men, slowly walking over. Jin Yinji wanted to stop him but it was already too late!

  Two guys were intimidated by everyone, just about to open their stomachs and eat a good meal, when suddenly an extra figure appeared beside them. One of the guys shouted in Vietnamese:

  "Are you looking for death? Get out!!"

  Then he kicked hard at Guo's chest!

  Guo Pu was furious. If this kick had been directed at an ordinary person, it would probably have resulted in a broken rib. This guy must have practiced martial arts! His movements were swift and deadly!

  Originally, Guo Pu only wanted to starve them for a few days. But since he heard Jin Yiniang say that these two bastards actually killed people in order to monopolize food and water, where did he still have the reason to show mercy? He dodged the guy's kick with a twist of his body, then shook off the opponent. Then, with lightning speed, he pinched the guy's neck, also speaking in Vietnamese:

  "You can die!"

  He exerted a bit of force and that guy let out half a cry before his neck was snapped by Guo Pu with a crack!

  The Vietnamese man's face changed greatly as he was about to drink water, shouting loudly and suddenly flipping over, kicking his foot fiercely towards Guo Pu's lower body. Guo Pu didn't move at all, and the guy covered his foot and let out a pained cry as he bounced back. The Vietnamese man felt like he had kicked an iron stake, and his calf was fractured! Guo Pu walked forward, grasping the guy's neck with one hand, and said in a low voice:

  "Don't be a bad person in your next life!!"

  That guy's eyes flashed with extreme terror and fear, as if Guo Pu's gaze was the King of Hell's soul-catching rope, his neck was pinched, even wanting to beg for mercy was impossible!

  Again with a crack, the Vietnamese man stretched out his legs and stopped breathing in a few seconds. Guo Pu finally let out a long sigh of relief and turned to face the terrified crowd behind him:

  "Divide it up! Everyone gets a share!"

  Then he picked up the bucket of water, walked to Jin Yujie's side, helped her up, and then scooped out some water from the bucket with his hand, aiming at the girl's dry and cracked lips.

  Jin Yujie hastily drank a few mouthfuls, and with some strength restored to her body, she immediately got up by herself. She cupped her hands together to scoop up some water and greedily started drinking. After finishing, she seemed to have realized something and smiled somewhat awkwardly at everyone. Then, with an extremely reluctant gaze, she looked at the clear water in the bucket, indicating that everyone should share it and drink.

  Everyone's eyes showed a hint of anger, and no one even thanked Guo Pu. However, they all followed the rules, each drinking a few mouthfuls of water before dividing the bread again. A bare-chested man took several pieces of bread and handed them to Jin Yujie, then respectfully offered two to Guo Pu!

  Is it over?! Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!
