Chapter 116: Hello, I'm Here for Revenge

The figure walked away, and the youth who was about to follow was pulled back.

"Hong?"

The young woman looked at the youth, doubt and worry intertwined in her eyes.

"She will help me," the youth called Hong said with certainty, his previous frail appearance replaced, "She will definitely help everyone. There will be food and water soon, wait for me."

Hong strode to catch up, catching up with Liu Mu on the stairs leading to the upper deck.

Unable to swallow her anger, Liu Mu had originally intended to go straight to the bridge to kill, but now that the plan had changed, she decided to follow her usual practice and scavenge a wave of supplies first.

Since she was going to save people, she didn't care about letting those people live a few more hours.

"Big sister, are you really a good person?"

Liu Mu, who had been 'helping' in the kitchen for half an hour, familiarly found the cold storage where the ship kept cooked food. Her action of pulling the door was interrupted by the youth, and she was somewhat annoyed, "No. Are you going in or not?"

Pushing the person into the door, she also slipped inside. Before closing the door, she looked around, and no one had discovered them.

The cold storage was operating normally, and the temperature was very low. Hong was only wearing a somewhat worn-out white shirt, and after entering, he hugged his arms due to the cold.

"So much food, big sister, can these be brought to everyone? Everyone only gets one piece of bread every day, sometimes not even water, and many people are sick."

Liu Mu turned on the light and looked suspiciously at the youth leaning against the door, "With so much food, aren't you very hungry? You still have the heart to think about so much?"

Seeming to be reminded that he was hungry, Hong stared at the food but didn't dare to take it, asking with great longing, "I, can I eat too?"

"You can," Liu Mu looked around the cold storage. There was a door in the back connecting to another room, which also stored cooked food.

A rough estimate was that this room alone had five or six tons of cooked food. Besides common bread and biscuits, there was also quite a bit of meat, sealed rice, and even cooked noodles.

Why did these people prepare cooked food that was more troublesome to store and transport?

"What is your name, kid?"

She noticed the youth was about to bite into a package of bread, "Be careful not to chip your teeth."

The youth held the dry bread, which was a circle larger than his head, and looked at Liu Mu blankly, "My name is Hong, like the rainbow. Grandma said that when I grow up, I must leave the village like a rainbow and go to the outside world, and not be like them, traded into the mountains to plant opium poppies."

"Hmm, take more. After you've taken enough, go to the lower deck first. I will go later too."

Liu Mu did not want to use the Recovery Space in front of someone she didn't trust. Only after Hong left holding a dozen large loaves of bread did she close the door again and collect all the cooked food from both warehouses.

Of course, she wouldn't be satisfied with just this little bit. Since it was a storage area, it didn't matter where she put it. Although her space couldn't keep things fresh, putting them in with the freezer units should at least preserve them for a few days.

It wasn't mealtime now, and the chefs had probably gone to rest. Since they entered, they hadn't seen a single person in this area.

Liu Mu quickly scavenged all the warehouses, taking both food and equipment. Everywhere she passed became an empty room.

Such a large ship actually stored twenty tons of cooked food and over two hundred tons of ingredients, as well as seasonings and spices. Clearly, these were not just for the people on the ship; this was a supply ship for the Viper.

She took out a portion and put it into the freight elevator between the ship's cabins, pressed the button for the bottom cabin, hesitated for a moment, and then took the stairs.

The paint on the iron stairs was very new, and there was no surveillance in the fire escape. Of course, she dared to act so brazenly because she had chosen routes that surveillance cameras couldn't capture.

As for whether those cameras were actually working, rather than taking a risk, it was better to avoid them.

Bread was scattered all over the floor in front of the bottom cabin door, and there was a person in the middle of the bread.

It was Hong. Amidst the noisy mechanical sounds, his heartbeat was very faint.

Liu Mu slipped and pressed herself against the corner wall. She didn't rush forward rashly. After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour to confirm there were no other sounds in the stairwell, she went down and lifted the person up.

It wasn't that she was cowardly; after all, this was someone else's territory, and she was all alone with only bombs to rely on. She was just being cautious.

"Hey! What's going on?"

Hong's weight was not as thin as he looked. Although he was a bit underweight, he hadn't reached the skin-and-bones state of the Survivors in Haicheng.

She pinched his thin shoulders and shook him a few times, and he opened his eyes, "Bread, my bread!"

As soon as Hong opened his eyes, he hurriedly looked for the bread. Only after confirming that everything was by his side did he say with a pale face, "Big sister, I was too hungry. I fainted before I could deliver it. It might be low blood sugar. Sorry, I didn't complete the task you gave me."

"What task?" Liu Mu's eyes flickered as she looked at the youth searchingly.

Hong's lips moved, and he lowered his gaze, saying as if resigned, "You wanted me to scout the path, right? If there were patrols, I could lead them away. Sorry, I didn't encounter any."

"Quite smart," Liu Mu let go of him and stood up, "I put the food in the freight elevator. Take a few people to get it. It's best to keep the noise down."

"Big sister, are you not helping us anymore?" Hong didn't seem to think too much and asked, then said with shame, "Sorry, you still have work to do. It's me who had no sense of propriety and took up too much of your time."

Looking at the youth's very boundary-conscious demeanor, Liu Mu felt that this child seemed too mature.

However, after the disaster, there weren't many children who could afford to be innocent and naive.

Saying that it was time for her to go to work, Liu Mu left this level. Before leaving, she added one more sentence, "If you hear any noise, hide in your cabin and don't come out. Tell the others not to be curious."

Hong watched Liu Mu turn around and suddenly asked loudly, "Excuse me, can I help you? No matter what it is, as long as you say it, I will definitely do my best to help you!"

Liu Mu was stunned by the shout and looked at that face, which was so determined it looked like he was about to join a party. She thought for a moment, "You can. After you take the food and water, lock the door to your level."

"What kind of help is that?" Hong seemed to dislike being looked down upon by Liu Mu and wanted to argue a bit more, but the big sister had already strode away.

Not until the already quiet footsteps disappeared on the iron stairs did Hong turn around while hugging the bread. One could hear him smiling in a low voice, "I can give you whatever you want, Big Sister Liu Mu."

Waiters were different from chefs. Even if it wasn't mealtime, the cruise ship's bars, tea rooms, and other entertainment and leisure places still needed them. Liu Mu wore a uniform, and walking on the upper deck did not arouse suspicion.

She even carried a tray and knocked on the door of the forward bridge.

"Hello, the special champagne has arrived."

Three seconds later, a roar came from inside, "During work hours, who the hell dares to drink? Who ordered it?"

A few seconds later, the door opened, revealing a bearded face with a bruised eye.

"That, no, no need. We are on duty, we can't..."

A gun was pressed against the bearded man's forehead. Liu Mu, holding the gun, balanced the tray with one hand, "Sorry, the bartender said it can't be returned. Deliver it inside now."

The bearded man, who had been shrinking his body, immediately raised his hands, mainly because he saw at close range that the finger Liu Mu used to pull the trigger was curling, "Don't, don't, please come in."

Whether other people's lives mattered wasn't important; what was important was that his own life was very important. He had finally climbed to the position of first mate, and he couldn't just get killed off so easily.

Of course, the bearded man didn't think the waiter in front of him could leave unscathed after entering. This unlucky bastard just happened to run into someone from the organization; one could only say his luck was too bad.

"Beard, what the hell are you doing? Didn't I say you can't drink on duty!" Administrative Captain Roman was truly going crazy. Usually, having a Red Flower on the ship was enough to make him fearful, and today, Joseph, a famous mercenary leader in the organization, had come to inspect, only to encounter an unreliable subordinate ordering drinks during work hours.

It would be fine if it were just any other time, but if this were recorded, what future would he have in the organization? He might even be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

"Boss Joseph, we don't usually act like this at work; no one dares to drink."

"So it's because I came today that you all want to have a drink?" Joseph did not understand the fawning captain beside him, his gaze dangerously fixed on the first mate who had backed into the room.

Swish!

Twin guns were suddenly drawn, and the captain closest to him knelt down on the spot, "Spare me, Boss! I will definitely manage them well from now on!"

Bang bang—

The sound of gunfire broke the tension in the command room; the first mate was shot in the back, his body leaning forward, eyes wide with resentment, yet he did not fall.

The event happened quickly; from the moment the first mate failed to fall, the realization that something was wrong dawned, but before there was time to react, a gun muzzle appeared from beneath the first mate's arm.

Even with a person in the way, the shooter seemed able to see through the body, firing in succession and killing the helmsman and two recording crew members instantly.

At the same time, the intruder used the first mate's body as a shield, constantly shifting positions, and a brilliant shootout erupted inside the command room.

Joseph and the captain were worried about damaging the bridge system and dared not be too reckless. Times were different now; if the integrated bridge system were damaged, they would likely be left drifting at sea, as repairs from Headquarters were almost impossible.

But their enemy did not think so, firing shots that sent sparks and black smoke flying from the control console.

"Hey, hey, you're a rat from the lower decks, right? What do you want? Food? Water? Or medicine? If you want things, put down your gun immediately, you piece of trash! You know if you break these instruments, you won't get anything!"

"Wrong guess!" Identifying the position by sound, Liu Mu fired directly at the captain, and only after hearing a miserable cry did she continue to answer, "Hello, I am Liu Mu, here for revenge. If you don't recognize me, ask that blond guy beside you."
