Others try to survive on an island, I try to survive on a raft?

Chapter 140 We are not pirates!

Chapter 140 We are not pirates!

The two words, amplified by a loudspeaker, immediately silenced the entire venue.

Even Su Jin felt a little embarrassed. He covered the megaphone, turned around and glared at Shen Qiaoqiao: "Why didn't you take this out sooner? You're like Doraemon all the time, pulling out gadgets every now and then—"

Shen Qiaoqiao was also a little embarrassed, and pouted, saying softly, "You didn't ask, did you? I'll definitely do it next time!"

But next time is next time; the consequences this time have already been quite serious.

Upon hearing those two words, Mu Qing's expression instantly turned ugly.

The worst has happened!

Chen Yao, who was behind her, was also instantly frightened and burst into tears. She never expected that they would actually encounter pirates.

She unconsciously took two steps back, instinctively wanting to run away, but seeing Mu Qing still standing in front of her, she dared not leave.

At least, her sister Mu is still alive. Maybe, just maybe, she can save her if there's a chance to escape.

Her idea was good, but she was also arrogant and disobedient. If Mu Qing knew, she would be furious.

Those on the cliff obviously heard those two words as well, and their expressions changed.

Some people, in particular, felt like the sky had fallen!

"What! They're pirates! Aren't they a rescue team? What about our country? Have they abandoned us?"

"These pirates are so arrogant! They didn't even bother to act; they just came up and said they were pirates. If they capture us, will they kill us all?"

A white-collar woman was a little scared, but a Mediterranean man behind her said quietly, "I don't think it's that good. Think about what ancient barbarian invasions would do. They would enslave or kill the men, and capture all the women."

"As for what they'll do with us, you can probably guess."

Upon hearing this, everyone panicked.

Some men shouted that they didn't want to die, while some women said that death would be the best outcome, as being caught was worse than death for them!

At this moment, someone roared, "If you women want to die, you can jump off here right now and die instantly. What are you crying about? Stop your whining!"

But nobody does that, not to mention their fear of heights, but mainly because they've seen people do it.

There are 20 people on their island, but their team currently only has 19 people.

Why is one missing? Because she died.

The person who died was a girl with a slight case of depression, the kind of girl who was a little bit like a fairy, but that doesn't matter.

The important thing is that on that day, the girl had a fight, and someone said, "If you don't want to stay here, then go die. Maybe this is all a dream."

Then, the girl actually jumped, but whether it was lucky or unlucky, she didn't die immediately.

She was half dead at the time, her legs were broken, and she accidentally fell into a bush, eventually dying while crying and bleeding.

That tragic scene horrified everyone who heard about it.

If there were a simpler, painless way to die, they might try it, but this half-dead method is out of the question.

Now that they were neither dead nor able to escape, everyone began to panic.

Then someone finally discovered that the pale red tubular structures on Su Jin's ship were actually cannons, ten in total.

Their open cliffside outpost could defend against sea monsters, but it was just a sitting duck in front of these cannons!

Gradually, the cliffside stronghold quickly descended into chaos.

Mu Qing didn't look back and knew nothing about these things; even if she did, she couldn't do anything about it.

She was now looking up at the man shouting at her from the side of the boat, and watching him flirt with the glamorous women around him, seemingly paying no attention to her at all.

She saw coldness and lewdness in this man's eyes; he was a complete scumbag.

If she and Chen Yao were to fall into the hands of such a lecherous pirate leader, they would certainly not fare well.

Taking advantage of the other party's attention not being on her, she quietly retreated, trying to give herself a chance, but—her little actions obviously did not escape Su Jin's eyes.

Seeing that Mu Qing seemed to be about to leave, Su Jin, too lazy to argue with Shen Qiaoqiao, raised the megaphone and said, "Wait a minute, you're the leader, right? Don't go, you haven't finished speaking yet!"

Mu Qing stopped in her tracks and said coldly, "You're pirates. What do I have to talk to you about? Don't say that if I board your ship and become your woman, you'll let us go."

She said there was nothing to talk about, but her actions betrayed her, and she stopped in her tracks, trying to negotiate some terms.

Maybe this man is really lewd. If he sacrifices himself, he can get the other party to leave and buy some time for their small team.

Even if they all come down and find a place to hide, it's better than being stuck on the cliff.

The reason she didn't let these people come down from their stronghold was because if they made any move, the other side would likely fire artillery at them.

If a single shell were to hit, many people would die.

Upon hearing this, Su Jin couldn't help but glare at Shen Qiaoqiao again, cleared his throat, and said through a megaphone, "I'll reiterate, we are not pirates. My purpose is to trade, trade, understand?"

Mu Qing just looked at Su Jin coldly, with an expression that said, "Do you think I'd believe that?"

She had already labeled Su Jin in her mind:

This is a vain, lewd, and hypocritical pirate captain.

To call robbery a transaction sounds so high-sounding; even robbery needs a pretext.

However, this is a slightly better situation for them, at least the other party didn't attack right away.

As for the deal the pirate captain mentioned, it might just be a ruse to trick them.

But she still wanted to play along and see what method she could use to shake off their people, or at least give them a way out.

Although the outcome may still be that this island is a giant cage, and they cannot escape from the island and will eventually be caught.

But maybe one or two lucky ones will manage to escape.

She looked up at Su Jin, forcing a smile: "Then, Captain, how would you like to proceed with the trade?"

"If you want a woman, how about I? We have plenty of pretty girls around here, as long as you're willing to give us supplies."

Su Jin blinked, his expression somewhat strange as he exchanged a glance with Shen Ruying and the others.

"Wait, how come there's still slave trading here?"

He cleared his throat and said loudly, "We don't need people, we need supplies! And if anyone wants to join my fleet, they'll have to be talented!"

Talented?

Mu Qing frowned. Could it be that this pirate captain was tired of ordinary women and needed something a little more exciting?

But something sounded off to her. Could it be that she had misunderstood, and the other person wasn't a pirate?

Just as she was thinking, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind her.

"I'm talented, I'm very talented! I can do all the action scenes in the movies!"
