Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 627 An Accidental Encounter with Gu Dabiao on the Water

"Otherwise, we can either go back to where we came from, or go around that direction!"

Chu Chen found it somewhat amusing, thinking to himself, "The ground is covered in water. You're telling me to go around it? You'd be lucky if you could even catch up with me."

So he said to them, "Sure, may we talk on the boat?"

Wang Tiancheng nodded after listening.

Although they seemed to have a dozen or twenty people on their side, compared to ours, they were nothing to us.

They have several hundred thugs on their side.

Otherwise, how could I become the king here?

He nodded to his men, who then steered a small boat to the coast guard vessel and fetched Chu Chen and the two machine gunners.

"Young master, only three people can board the ship. The rest of you, just wait!"

Chu Chen didn't speak, but just smiled and nodded, thinking to himself that survival in this world is not easy, so please don't do anything foolish.

After the three boarded the ship, Wang Tiancheng directed his men to lead them into a room.

"Friend, where do you come from?"

"Hehe, you've come from afar. May I ask how much in supplies I need to pay to cross this road?"

After listening, Wang Tiancheng laughed and thought to himself, "You're quite straightforward, setting conditions right from the start."

So he said, "That depends on how many you have."

"Oh, so you want as much as you have?"

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. First, let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Tiancheng, and I'm the owner of this place."

"And those small boats beside me are all here to depend on me for survival!"

"Now, the whole world has become an ocean. Unless you can reach the place of those large ships, you can only survive by following me."

After saying that, Wang Tiancheng pointed at the ships through the window and gave Chu Chen a knowing look.

"So, when people come to me, they usually leave supplies, which I then distribute. This way, everyone can live a little longer."

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this.

Thinking to himself that this guy really was a water bandit, Chu Chen then stood up and looked towards the boat.

The people on the boat were divided into two types.

One type is a person dressed neatly, holding a steel knife; the other type is a person dressed in rags, engaged in various kinds of labor.

Then, pointing at those people, he asked, "If I join in, what kind of person will I become?"

"Haha, my friend, you're a man of principle. It all depends on your resources and whether you have any fighting skills!"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that this person was quite clever. In this collapsing world, after becoming powerful, he was able to think of managing these people in different levels.

Moreover, if this continues, his team will become increasingly powerful.

Therefore, he can better guarantee his own livelihood.

Then Chu Chen glanced at the entire ship again. It was a very large wooden ship, similar in size to the warships of the Great Xia Dynasty.

There were no mechanical devices; they moved around entirely by paddling.

However, at this moment, many small boats were attached to the side of the ship, probably because they were fixed together, forming a gathering place.

There were some people living on those small boats, but most of them were ragged refugees.

The people on the large ship, however, looked much more energetic.

On the deck of the large ship, there were also many small houses built, apparently to be distributed to other people to live in.

After sizing him up, he said, "Since Boss Wang wants me to rely on him, then I'll have to see your strength first!"

After saying that, Chu Chen stood up and walked outside on his own.

In Wang Tiancheng's eyes, this action was a blatant provocation.

Then he laughed and said, "Not bad, kid, you're the first one who's made me show my strength. Today, I'll teach you what strength really is."

After saying that, Wang Tiancheng waved his hand, and several of his underlings surrounded him.

The steel knife in his hand was ruthlessly swung towards Chu Chen.

For Wang Tiancheng, anyone who harbors disloyal intentions is doomed to die.

In this chaotic world, one cannot allow anyone to threaten one's position.

Chu Chen looked at the menacing newcomers but didn't even bother to move, so two machine gunners went to meet them.

In just a few breaths, those underlings collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

Chu Chen didn't want to kill them, but gave them a chance, mainly because the world was collapsing.

Wang Tiancheng was stunned when he saw this.

Just as he was about to start negotiating with Chu Chen, a shout suddenly came from the crowd.

"Young Master Chu, is that Young Master Chu? I'm Da Biao, Gu Da Biao!"

After hearing Gu Dabiao's words, Chu Chen frowned, wondering to himself, "Why is this guy here?"

Didn't he evacuate with the transport ship during the retreat?

So he quickly looked into the crowd and saw a scruffy, ragged man looking at him with longing eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Chen flashed to his side and kicked the person who was trying to stop him from shouting away.

After pulling him out of the crowd, he asked, "What happened? What are you doing here? And why are you in such a disheveled state? Didn't you leave with the others?"

"Young master, I'm so glad to finally see you! I never thought I, Gu Dabiao, would see you again in my lifetime!"

"Alright, stop crying like that, you grown man. Tell me, what happened?"

After Gu Dabiao was pulled out, he immediately knelt down in front of Chu Chen.

Then he began to recount his experience on the ship.

Because he lived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, he was the first to sense that something was wrong.

After the water flowed out of his cave, they rushed towards the opposite mountain, attempting to reach higher ground.

Little did they know that the current was getting stronger and stronger, and they were slowly trapped on the mountaintop.

At that moment, Chu Chen delivered the transport ship to Yunbian City.

After the floodwaters submerged the hilltop, the group clung to planks and trees to survive.

But after the world was filled with flowing water, instead of heading towards the snow-capped mountains, they thought of going out to find a way to survive.

But they lost their way in the vast ocean, and by a twist of fate, they encountered Wang Tiancheng's ship.

After boarding the ship, Wang Tiancheng saw that they were strong and powerful, so he made them his guards.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Wang Tiancheng oppress the survivors, Gu Dabiao led his men to try to resist, but failed and was then put on the deck to do hard labor.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans, and he encountered Chu Chen today, which is why he loudly begged for his life.

After hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "You're really stupid. Instead of going to the snow mountain, you're running outside."

But then I realized that it was this action that saved them. If they had gone to the snow-capped mountains, they would have become food for wild animals long ago.
