"Ah! Ah! I... I was wrong, you... you don’t let go!"

Below the boat, there happened to be a zombie passing by. Seeing someone above, it stretched its neck, trying to pounce and bite upwards.

Unfortunately, zombies can’t swim and can only drift along in the water.

However, Shen Zhigui seemed as if he hadn’t heard what he said. He moved closer to the railing, stretching his hand even farther out, so that the person being held couldn’t even touch the deck railing.

With no support whatsoever, his face turned pale with panic.

"Now you know how to beg for mercy. Where did all that energy for arguing go just now?"

"I... I was out of line, Mr. Shen, can you..."

Shen Zhigui directly let go, but as the person was about to fall into the zombie’s mouth, a green vine wrapped around his waist, pulling him back up.

"That was just a lesson for you. Next time... no one will save you."

Xie Silin stood behind Shen Zhigui, with a vine flashing briefly in his hand.

This also let the man understand that it was Xie Silin who just saved him, and Xie Silin was a member of Shen Zhigui’s team.

"I... I understand, thank you Mr. Shen for sparing my life."

Though his words expressed gratitude, his lowered eyes concealed a hatred that no one else could see.

Of course, Shen Zhigui noticed it, but he didn’t care.

This show was meant to serve as a warning, and this man wasn’t guilty enough to die, which is why he let Xie Silin save him.

If he continues with his incorrigible ways later, there will be no Xie Silin to save him.

On the way back, they still encountered many people asking for help. Before the ship reached its full capacity, Shen Zhigui and the others were not stingy about rescuing people.

After all... it’s not like they’re allowed to board for free.

As for those who truly had no resources on them, Shen Zhigui and the others had them sign promissory notes.

Contracts were issued by Jianglin Hotel as a third party, with both parties signing their names.

Those who were rescued would need to repay the rescue fees to Shen Zhigui and the others within a stipulated time.

The resources for rescuing one person weren’t much, but a group adds up. Even when divided among everyone, each person could still get quite a bit.

However, they preferred to trade resources with Crystal Cores.

Because Crystal Cores can not only be absorbed to enhance and restore superpowers but also be exchanged for currency at Jianglin Hotel, they are multifunctional.
