Capítulo 142: Chapter 142: Setting Sail for Jin Hai
As Zeng Shen drove to the entrance of Xio Harbor, a warning signal of potential danger sounded in his ear. However, since it didn't involve intelligent species, he ignored it.
He turned his head to gaze out at the coastal scenery.
Xio Harbor, with its vast cross-section, was lined with various fishing boats, yachts, cruise ships, cargo ships, and even small Mexican naval vessels maintaining security.
Zeng Shen drove to Pier 7 of the harbor and called the number Xiao Ai had given him, connecting with one of the three major powers here, a gray force led by a man named Gray Wolf, who had some official backing.
"Hello, who is this?" a gruff voice answered.
"This is Long Shen of Long Shen Group. I've arrived at Pier 7. Where's my cruise ship?"
"Wait five minutes, and the cruise will be there."
After hanging up, it took less than five minutes before a massive cruise ship, resembling a palace on the sea and escorted by two small warships, appeared, shining brightly in the sunlight.
The ship had sleek lines and was painted a bright white, contrasting sharply with the blue ocean.
"Girls, this should be our cruise ship," Zeng Shen said to the girls peering out the window.
"Wow, it's so big, big brother."
"And so beautiful."
"Yes, it has three levels. It must hold a lot of people."
"Certainly, I wonder if it has a large outdoor freshwater pool."
As the girls chatted excitedly, Zeng Shen smiled and waited for the cruise to dock.
Five minutes later, the cruise ship docked at the pier.
A five-meter-wide iron cargo ramp was slowly lowered from the deck's crevices.
A group of armed, stern-looking Mexicans appeared on deck and slowly disembarked.
The leader of this group was a burly, imposing man wearing a black naval uniform—a middle-aged man with a horse-like face.
Zeng Shen opened the car door and was about to get out when he noticed the sudden silence inside the car.
He turned to see the Lolita girls shrinking back, looking out the window with a hint of fear in their eyes.
"What's wrong?" Zeng Shen asked.
"Big brother, these people look scary, and they all have guns," Barbara said.
"Yes, big brother, I've heard from Sister Panther that there's a lot of infighting here," Ninira voiced their concern.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Zeng Shen's calm assurance filled the girls with a sense of safety.
He quickly got out of the car and stood before the horse-faced man.
The man sized him up and spoke gruffly, "I'm Gray Wolf. Are you Long Shen from Long Shen Group?"
Zeng Shen nodded.
"This cruise ship is here for you. Everything onboard is operational. Once you pay the remaining balance, the ship is yours," Gray Wolf said.
Zeng Shen pulled out his phone, called Xiao Ai to arrange the payment, and then informed Gray Wolf, "The payment has been sent. Please check it."
Gray Wolf checked his phone, then stepped aside and said, "This cruise is empty; there are no sailors or a captain. If you need, we can provide crew and essential maritime supplies, ensuring smooth sailing for up to a year."
"How much?"
"500,000 U.S. dollars."
"Does that include all the necessary permits and paperwork?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I don't need a crew, but I'll take the maritime supplies if they're new and of good quality."
"You get what you pay for. 600,000 U.S. dollars, guaranteed new. If you add another 10,000, we'll arrange for everything to be loaded onto the cruise," Gray Wolf offered.
"Agreed," Zeng Shen nodded, messaging Xiao Ai to transfer 560,000 U.S. dollars to Gray Wolf.
After receiving the payment, Gray Wolf smiled, "Daxia people are straightforward. You've made a friend. If you need anything here, don't hesitate to reach out."
He then handed over his Twitter and WeChat handles for Zeng Shen to scan.
"Sure."
Zeng Shen scanned them with his Huawei phone.
One of Gray Wolf's men handed Zeng Shen a red rope with a small wolf's head charm, saying, "Tie this to the bow. The surrounding forces will know your ship is under the Gray Wolf's protection. The supplies will arrive in half an hour, delivered by trucks and maids."
Zeng Shen took the rope, drove the No. 1 Divine Energy Vehicle onto the ship via the iron ramp, and parked on the deck alongside Lin Keke, who was driving the large truck.
The main deck of the cruise ship was long and spacious, about the size of two basketball courts, perfect for leisurely strolls and enjoying the sea breeze.
It was also suitable for setting up lounge chairs, tables, and sun umbrellas for sunbathing.
Once the two Divine Energy Vehicles were parked at the deck's edge, the Lolita girls excitedly disembarked to explore the empty ship.
The ship's first level was a restaurant and bar, though devoid of utensils, cutlery, gas canisters, tables, chairs, refrigerators, food, and beverages.
The second level housed over fifty rooms labeled with various functional names but were all empty shells without beds, bedding, sofas, or other furniture.
The third level included a cinema, swimming pool, and rooms labeled as gyms, though devoid of equipment.
As Zeng Shen and the others explored the ship, Gray Wolf's men arrived with trucks loaded with furniture, tables, chairs, refrigerators, cutlery, wine glasses, and food supplies.
Soon, the right side of the main deck was furnished with comfortable outdoor furniture for sunbathing and relaxation.
The ship's interior was luxuriously decorated, with sparkling crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceilings and opulent carpets lining the floors.
The hallways were adorned with inexpensive yet exquisite imitation artworks and decorations, exuding an elegant artistic atmosphere.
Each cabin was beautifully furnished, providing comfortable beds and modern amenities, giving Zeng Shen and the Lolita girls a homely warmth.
Additionally, the previously empty functional rooms were gradually furnished with various items.
After about three hours of setup, Gray Wolf's men and the skilled maids departed.
On the top level of the cruise ship, there was a spacious observation deck.
Zeng Shen stood there, overlooking the endless sea and admiring the beautiful sunset before leading all the Lolita girls back to the Divine Energy Vehicle. They drove to Xio's most bustling central mall.
Meanwhile, Lin Keke's truck housed eight intelligent mechanical workers, which Zeng Shen had assigned as crew members.
At the central mall, Zeng Shen and the others made extensive purchases, returning to the cruise ship by 10:30 PM to set sail for Jin Hai.
As night fell, the cruise ship's dazzling lights illuminated the entire vessel, creating a dreamlike world as it sailed into the distance, carrying the Lolita girls' hopes and dreams for a wonderful journey.
It also brought Zeng Shen endless joy and unforgettable experiences of happiness.
