Chapter 886: Chapter 886
Hearing Hoffman's words, many of the sailors became nervous.
If Hoffman didn't allow them to stay on the island, and their ship was sinking, did they have to feed the fish in the sea?
At this moment, quite a few sailors looked at Hoffman with a hint of hostility in their eyes.
Fortunately, Hoffman didn't really make the sailors jump into the sea. Instead, he personally took Zhen Bingyu and Ning Miaoxi to inspect the situation.
Although it's unlikely that these sailors were causing trouble, he had to find out for sure.
Hoffman wasn't an engineer, nor a repair expert.
When he went aboard the ship, he could only see that the ship was indeed damaged, with some areas showing signs of imminent water leakage.
When Hoffman came down from the ship, Ning Qifeng, the eldest son of the Ning family's second branch, also arrived.
Ning Qifeng apparently knew what was going on here. As soon as he arrived, he got straight to the point:
"Hoffman, is there a problem with the transport ship?"
Hoffman could only nod, "Yes, if nothing goes wrong, the ship will sink soon."
After Hoffman said this, he and Ning Qifeng fell into silence.
Under normal circumstances, no one else would be allowed to stay on a deserted island for too long.
But now, neither Hoffman nor Ning Qifeng could truthfully say that they would let the sailors feed the fish.
Ning Qifeng thought for a moment and then said to Hoffman, "Have them stay on the east side of the island overnight and make sure our men watch them closely."
"Inform the transport company about the situation and have them send a ship tomorrow to take these sailors back."
Hoffman nodded, "Let's do that."
Then he turned to Zhen Bingyu and said, "Zhen, you and a few others are responsible for guarding them!"
Zhen Bingyu bowed slightly and said, "Yes, sir."
At this point, Su Fan and Ning Zhengde were able to stay on the island overnight without further issue.
But Ning Zhengde had very crucial information.
As everyone was heading to the east side of the island, Ning Zhengde came over to Su Fan and said:
"Do not touch the beautiful woman who's guarding us."
"She carries a genetic disease, and if you have relations with her, you'll die within three to five days."
If Ning Zhengde hadn't mentioned it, Su Fan wouldn't have known how dangerous Zhen Bingyu was.
At this moment, many of the sailors' eyes were fixed on Zhen Bingyu.
This woman was extremely beautiful, with a stunning figure.
Even knowing the risk, there might still be men willing to die for a night with her.
Su Fan's target this time was Ning Miaoxi, so even without Ning Zhengde's warning, he wouldn't have lost focus.
Moreover, Su Fan quickly noticed that there were other ships on this island.
But these ships seemed to be used by Hoffman's group and were not meant to take them away.
Under the watchful eyes of Zhen Bingyu and the others, Su Fan's group began to set up camp on the east side of the island.
Without a windproof camp, they could possibly die from hypothermia during the night.
Fortunately, the transport ship had tents, sleeping bags, and other supplies, making it easy to set up a camp here.
Soon, the camp was ready.
Many armed mercenaries, under Hoffman and Ning Qifeng's orders, appeared not far away.
Zhen Bingyu and a few skilled members of Parea Fort were also watching Su Fan's group from a moderate distance.
As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.
Su Fan and Ning Zhengde stayed in their respective tents without taking any rash actions.
In Su Fan's tent were two other men, one of them being Captain Keith, and the other was someone whose name Su Fan didn't know.
What they didn't expect to happen soon occurred.
The beautiful Zhen Bingyu entered this tent.
