Chapter 1762 Return to the sea
"I never thought that we would be back at sea so soon."
The familiar wooden warship was once again drifting on the sea.
This is Redemption 002, the flagship of the Redemption Chamber of Commerce's corporate fleet in this world. It is also the largest armed cargo ship in terms of tonnage.
Its volume is slightly larger than that of a conventional aircraft carrier. After all, the cost of wooden materials is quite low for Lu.
The biggest advantage of this log battleship is that as an extraordinary plant, it is itself a non-natural product. Huge metal creations need to maintain strength and often require the use of rare special steels. They require sophisticated design and are relatively fragile. Extraordinary plants only need sunlight and nutrients to grow wildly within their own limits.
And with Mr. Lu, the limit of life is not a big problem.
Therefore, he has a very large fleet in the oceans of many worlds, and perhaps this is why this commission was given to him.
But from another perspective, it is no wonder that countries have many restrictions on top combat power, and are even more defensive against large forces like the Orthodox Church.
In another world line, fleets and super battleships being owned by corporations, or even worse, by private individuals, is absolutely unacceptable.
"Dear passengers, don't be too anxious. It will take another four days to reach the destination. You can move around freely and adapt to the environment."
The voice of the captain of the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce's caravan echoed in the air, making the nervous passengers feel a little more relaxed.
The water is clear and the waves are blue, the sea and the sky are one color. Today, the ocean has begun to recover its former color. The sea breeze with the smell of fish and blood makes Lu Ping'an feel a little nostalgic and a little helpless.
God knows how many lives have been lost to create such an ocean. Lu Ping'an can even smell the overly abundant "life" in the sea water.
"Will we encounter dragons and snakes?"
"I heard that the weakest ones are all above the rule level."
"All ships that can go out to sea now are equipped with rule masters, but even so, the mortality rate is still very high."
The old sailors were doing their jobs, but the new passengers were panicking.
But in fact, this is not the first time that the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce has sailed far away. Even during Lu Ping'an's lazy vacation, the fleet of the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce has been engaged in arms trading. Obviously, the most profitable route is to the neighboring countries that are at war.
"boom!"
The giant beast that suddenly rose from the sea caused an instant sensation.
The indigo-blue snake monster exuded a terrifying aura. The moment it rose, the surrounding tides brought out the luster of death.
"Ahhh!"
"Here it comes, here it comes, help!"
The passengers on the deck were in panic and chaos.
"Please rest assured, this is our own tamed beast."
The summoned "Mist Sound" clone was very calm. The giant beast's head slowly lowered and gently touched the "legendary man".
The "ship owner" who appeared on the deck at some point in time finally put the panicked passengers at ease with his past terrible record.
"It's 'Bon voyage'."
"The King of Immortality? How come he looks younger than in the photo?"
Lu Ping'an himself patted the coquettish "little guy" and told him not to be too clingy.
"Don't capsize the boat."
The tilted ship is calling for help from its owner.
When the owner of the beast tamer or magic plant is present, its strength will be significantly increased. Just this level of life perception and sharing can allow this battleship to exert combat power several times beyond its limit.
And someone named Lu who can connect to life can even use the battleship as if it were his own body. Just a battleship of this level can stand up and beat people, and it is a real war machine.
The combat power of the life system's main body is indeed relatively weak, but it is only weak in the middle and low end. Unless the opponent is also a quasi-god or above, not many intelligent creatures will take the initiative to provoke a real "king of immortality".
And when the war is over and peace returns to the era, the ships flying the flag of the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce will be much safer. Just like Mercury 42, the threat of strong individuals is sometimes more effective than powerful ships and guns.
".There are pirates."
When he saw two simple iron warships, Lu Ping'an frowned.
He saw the skull flag that was descending at high speed.
"I'll go and see it, you go, Cat."
After thinking about it, Lu Ping'an felt that it would be enough to close the door and let the cat out in such an occasion.
All countries have the same attitude towards pirates.
"Meow? Solved, meow!"
The cat came back very quickly, without even changing out of its swimsuit and slippers, and its two tails were wagging happily.
As the background, there are two iron boats sinking. There is not even a smell of blood on the cat, but the faint blush on the cheeks and the happy smile indicate this brief but fatal killing.
In fact, sending Maomao out meant that Lu Ping'an had no intention of taking any prisoners.
As a predator, cats are actually very cruel animals to their prey. Letting them relax regularly is good for everyone.
"Where did it come from?"
"Mountain's meow! There's a major meow!"
Now it was Lu Ping'an's turn to cover his face.
Don’t say this in public, stupid cat!
Lu Ping'an simply swept his eyes around to intimidate and prevent anyone from saying anything irresponsible. Although it wouldn't really matter if someone did say it, it would still be more comfortable to have less trouble.
Most of the people present were our own people, and the leader immediately threatened and promised to ensure that he had seen and heard nothing.
Then Lu Ping'an dragged the cat by its tail and brought it into the room to inquire about the details.
The scratches left by the cat on the ground seemed to suggest that she already knew what was going to happen.
But this time, Lu Ping'an did not punish Maomao. He was also a little unhappy with those passengers and even expected them to "leak the secret".
But he wouldn't say this to Maomao, he just said it coldly.
"Tell me, why is that major in the pirate ship?"
Whether it is a pirate ship or not, there is actually no need for a flag. When there are no fishermen on the sea, there is no need to guess what this small ship without escort transport ships is.
The reality is that because the sea is too dangerous, only a few countries can still send out ships. Not only do they fly flags, but their purpose is also very obvious, either for escort or to transport some goods and supplies.
This kind of small boat that wanders on the sea like a wild wolf may have been fishermen who went too far in the past, but now it can be directly classified as pirates.
What made Lu Ping'an even more unhappy was that he was taking the standard route from the East Country to Southeast Asia, and pirate scouts appeared here. It was obvious that they had set their sights on this wealthy route. The items transported to Southeast Asia were mainly food, arms and supporting personnel.
"Meow? They want to rob meow?"
"That's it?"
Lu Ping'an laughed even more happily and let the "Soul Cat" do his work. If she really found out this much, he would probably have to deal with the cat.
"Meow!! Over there in the mountains, meow! They don't like us, meow!"
Maomao quickly shook his head. The "spirit" wrapped around his hand vaguely had a human face. In front of a soul cat above the rule level, it was impossible for a weak person to keep a secret.
She quickly told the information, but it made Lu Ping'an frown even more.
A few months ago, I personally rescued the Mountain Kingdom, and it cost a lot of sacrifice and effort.
Now, these disguised pirates appear to intercept the routes.
"They want to swallow up the entire Southeast Asia? Really." It seems that the former allies are about to become enemies again.
