Chapter 353 - 353 Are You My Daughter?

353 Are You My Daughter?

Wang Ran and the sea monster, the dolphins gradually regained ground.

Half of the sharks were quickly killed.

The remaining sharks seemed to finally realize what was going on. They immediately turned around and fled in different directions.

After the sea monster chased after a few sharks, it returned to Wang Ran’s side.

It couldn’t be helped. Sharks were quite agile. They were also intelligent enough to scatter, so the sea monster could not catch them all.

“F*cking sharks…”

Wang Ran did a quick count. A total of five dolphins were lost, and more than ten dolphins were wounded.

He did not expect the aquatic animals to mutate so quickly. Their strength was terrifying.

Wang Ran touched the wounds on the dolphin’s body and felt very distressed.

The teeth of a shark were extremely sharp, and they could tear off a large piece of meat with one bite.

Wang Ran took out a dagger and cut his arm.

A cloud of fresh blood immediately spread in the water.

The dolphin understood what Wang Ran was doing and started swimming around him, allowing their wounds to come into contact with his blood.

Soon, the wounds caused by the sharp teeth began to heal.

“That’s not enough…

“You guys have to get stronger!”

Wang Ran muttered in his heart.

Only his lead dolphin was rather capable. The others were still below par.

Wang Ran couldn’t get through them one by one.

After some thought, he let out more blood.

The dolphins were healing their wounds while drinking Wang Ran’s blood.

After some time, it was apparent that they gained some power.

The sea monster also took the opportunity to soak itself in some of his blood, but it barely worked on it, so it went to Wang Ran’s side and waited.

Wang Ran glared at the sea monster.

“Do you not realize just how much stronger you are?

‘Why are you even trying to take the dolphins’ food?’

The sea monster drifted away, looking wronged.

When Wang Ran was almost done with his feeding session, he climbed back to the deck with the rope.

He had bled himself out a little too much, so he had to take is easy.

“Comrade Wang Ran, has the sea…

“Is it a lot more dangerous in the sea now?” Lin Liye came up to him and asked.

“That’s right. It has become a lot more treacherous than before. I don’t advise traveling through the sea unless you take an entire fleet.

“No matter how strong you are, you won’t pass through the sea unscathed.

“Forget sharks, we don’t know what else is out there,” Wang Ran said.

“I see… In the future, I’ll have to fly to Hong Kong,” Lin Liye muttered.

“Hong Kong?

“What’s in Hong Kong?”

Wang Ran smiled.

“Ah…

“It’s just a hypothesis. Who knows if I ever get sent on a mission there?

“Comrade Wang Ran, do you smoke?”

Lin Liye immediately changed the topic.

He didn’t want anyone to see his yearning for Hong Kong.

After a few more times, he would be able to advance!

“This is all for the people!”

Lin Liye muttered in his heart.

“Dad, you’re smoking again!”

Lin Shuang happened to come to the deck. She glared at Lin Liye with her hands on her hips.

Lin Liye had just taken out a cigarette and had not yet lit it.

“Oh, he’s passing me a cigarette.”

Wang Ran took the cigarette from Lin Liye’s hand.

He had taken advantage of his daughter, so it was only right for him to help her out this time.

“Oh, Wang Ran, you smoke too?

“Dad, give me the lighter!”

Lin Shuang extended her hand.

Lin Liye handed the lighter to Lin Shuang in a daze.

What’s going on? Was she confiscating his lighter?

Lin Shuang took the lighter and leaned forward. She considerately blocked the wind and helped Wang Ran light the cigarette.

“If you want to smoke in the future, remember to ask me to light it up for you.” Lin Shuang reminded him.

“Ah… Oh…”

Wang Ran nodded.

Lin Liye, who was at the side, felt like crying.

He was her father!

Why was there such a vast difference in treatment?

“Xiaoyu said that we’re about to reach Ningbo‑Zhoushan. I’ll go and pack up.”

Lin Shuang ran back to the cabin happily after she finished speaking.

Wang Ran passed the cigarette back to Lin Liye and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

“Lin Shuang is still a child. I worry for her sometimes. She needs to gain experience.

“Why don’t you let her stay by your side?

“I believe you can give her both strength and experience,” Lin Liye said as he took a puff of his cigarette.

“That works.”

Wang Ran shrugged his shoulders.

Something told him that Lin Liye wanted nothing more than to send Lin Shuang away so that he would have the opportunity to smoke every day.

“Wang Ran, what’s your opinion on the current situation of the world?”

Lin Liye shifted the conversation to a more profound question.

“I don’t care what the world becomes.

“As long as I’m living a comfortable life, it’s fine.

“There are so many people in the world. I won’t go out of my way to assist each and every single one of them.”

Wang Ran smiled.

Lin Liye was stunned.

Although Wang Ran’s words were a little cold, there was no problem with them.

In today’s world, very few people had the excess energy to be a saint.

Wang Ran was already taking care of entire cities.

Moreover, Wang Ran had traveled thousands of miles to rescue Guozhu, time and again. This truly showed his character.

“As far as we know, many countries have begun to gradually reestablish order.

“Some modern weapons and infrastructure are also being restored.

“I estimate that it won’t be long before a new world war blows up. It will be for the same old human scrambling for resources and other squabbles.

“When the time comes, I hope you can protect Lin Shuang…”

Lin Liye’s voice softened at this. He was clearly concerned about this matter.

“Don’t worry. If anyone provokes me, I’ll bring my men to destroy their entire country,” Wang Ran said calmly.

These words seemed to be easily uttered, but Lin Liye knew that if Wang Ran wanted to destroy a country… He probably could really do it.

Lin Liye was not sure how powerful he was.

It did not take long for the Missouri to sail into Ningbo‑Zhoushan.

The ship slowly approached the shore.

At the port, zombie laborers were checking and transporting goods everywhere.

The containers were filled with supplies.

“Damn, why is it so lively here?

“It feels as if the apocalypse never happened here!”

Zhang Guozhu couldn’t help but sigh.

Everything here was so orderly and lively.

“We have established a trade route with Europe.

“Hong Kong is the transit point, and both sides are exchanging large amounts of resources.

“We export crops to Europe in exchange for their construction materials, tools, and gold.

“It won’t be long before N-City becomes the most modern city in the world,” Wang Ran said.

“This is really amazing…

“This beats out the capital by miles.”

Lin Liye nodded in admiration.
