Chapter 242 Flames at Sea

Xiao Guanghan killed the ungrateful Liu Wenbo and then noticed Zhang Chen passing by.

He quickly greeted him, "Zhang Chen, we meet again!"

Zhang Chen smiled and nodded, "What a coincidence!"

In fact, Zhang Chen had planned to find Xiao Guanghan and the others to cross the bay together.

This was because the map Zhang Chen held only showed Zhong'an City and Pingze City.

From Pingze City onwards, the route was clear.

However, between Zhong'an City and Pingze City, besides a bay, there was also a long blank distance.

Moreover, docking a boat required the guidance of Xiao Guanghan's large map.

It was fortunate that Fan Yiyi had killed Liu Wenbo; otherwise, Zhang Chen would not have teamed up with Xiao Guanghan.

Teaming up with a pig teammate was a major taboo in apocalypse survival.

"Let's go together. I just sent someone to the dock to secure a yacht capable of long voyages!"

"It can accommodate all of us with plenty of room!" Xiao Guanghan invited enthusiastically.

Zhang Chen had single-handedly killed the drilling worm mother, causing the [Honey Vine Flower] to wither instantly.

He had also gone alone to the Black Gang's stronghold... it seemed he had already wiped them out...

Not only Zhang Chen, but also his daughter Xiaobai and his pet Er Pang...

Any one of them was capable of leading a camp...

Teaming up with Zhang Chen was equivalent to having a protective charm!

Such a formidable figure should naturally be befriended.

"Okay!"

Zhang Chen did not decline and nodded with a smile.

The group chatted as they walked towards the dock.

Upon arriving at the dock, they saw several of Xiao Guanghan's team members confronting a few burly men from the Bear Country, with hostility evident.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Xiao Guanghan hurried forward and asked his team members.

"These guys from the Bear Country are unreasonable. This yacht was locked down by us in advance, and they ran over claiming it's theirs!"

"They even said we stole their yacht keys. They're completely unreasonable and just trying to rob us!"

One of the team members explained nervously.

Xiao Guanghan quickly assessed the combat strength of both sides.

There were only 3 people from the Bear Country, and their main force was nowhere to be seen.

His own main force was fully present.

If they fought, they should be able to resolve the battle within 5 minutes, ensuring no one on the opposing side could escape!

With this thought, Xiao Guanghan turned and gave his team leader a look.

The latter understood and quickly led four capable team members to flank the Bear Country nationals, forming a pincer movement.

"Sorry, friend. We spotted this yacht first, and we've had people guarding it since early on!"

"I, Xiao Guanghan, vouch with my integrity that our camp has no thieves!"

"I have a few bottles of fine whiskey here. Consider it a token of goodwill to clear up our misunderstanding. What do you think?"

Xiao Guanghan took out a whole case of whiskey and placed it in front of the Bear Country nationals.

"First, courtesy, then force."

Xiao Guanghan hoped to resolve the situation peacefully and avoid making unnecessary enemies.

However, at the same time, he had already prepared for the worst-case scenario.

No wonder the entire camp revolved around him.

This person is thorough in his actions; he's truly remarkable.

Zhang Chen nodded approvingly.

Xiao Guanghan's way of handling things was very much in line with his own.

"You say your name is Xiao Guanghan?"

A large Bear Country national asked with surprise.

"Yes, do you know me?"

Xiao Guanghan was equally surprised.

He wasn't a celebrity, so how could he be so famous that even people from the Bear Country knew him?

"No, no, no, I don't know you..."

"But your name should be a Dragon Country name. Aren't you from the Neon Country?"

The tall man said, confused.

In his eyes, all Easterners looked similar.

Black hair, black eyes, yellow skin.

Just like Zhang Chen referred to French people, Americans, and others as Westerners.

He couldn't discern the subtle differences between them.

"We are not from the Neon Country, we are bona fide Dragon Country people!"

Xiao Guanghan sent a greeting directly in the regional chat channel.

This was because the chat channel displayed a 3D projection and name of the speaker.

A glance would confirm whether Xiao Guanghan was lying.

"No problem, he is indeed from the Dragon Country!"

"And, do you see the person next to him? He's the one who rides the wolf!"

A Bear Country national beside him whispered.

The tall man then noticed Zhang Chen, and his eyes immediately showed admiration. He smiled and said,

"I knew such a strong person wouldn't be in the Neon Country faction!"

"Those sneaky and sinister people don't deserve such a strong individual!"

"So it was a misunderstanding... we were presumptuous!"

After saying this, the tall man directly took out two large boxes of whiskey and five frozen beef legs from his storage ring and placed them on the ground.

"We apologize for our rudeness just now. Please don't take offense!"

With that, the tall man turned and left.

Xiao Guanghan put away the case of whiskey he had brought out and then said to Zhang Chen with a fawning smile,

"You take these. I could tell from their eyes that these guys are fearless!"

"If you weren't here, we would have had a difficult fight."

"To put it bluntly, these things were given to us because of you in the first place!"

Xiao Guanghan had originally wanted to showcase his diplomatic skills to Zhang Chen and gain some favor.

However, it turned out that they weren't approaching him at all.

Instead, they were coming for the sake of the Dragon Country and Zhang Chen's reputation...

This made Xiao Guanghan feel a slight sense of frustration.

"Professor Xiao, you're too kind!"

Zhang Chen nodded to Xiao Guanghan and took the items.

This Professor Xiao not only had solid knowledge but was also adept at human relationships, making him pleasant to interact with.

"Sensible!"

Boom!

Suddenly, an explosion sound came from the sea not far away.

A yacht inexplicably exploded violently.

Countless fragments of debris flew into the air and then scattered on the surrounding sea surface.

Causing waves to surge...

It was the yacht that the Neon Country nationals had stolen earlier.

Just moments ago, they were on the ship, mockingly laughing at the stupidity of the Bear Country nationals on shore.

And then, in the next instant, their ship exploded.

As the flames burned fiercely, the wreckage of the ship gradually sank into the sea...

At this moment, Zhang Chen saw a sexy woman with red hair standing on the sea surface.

Her feet rose and fell with the ebb and flow of the waves, as if she had no weight at all.

[Rare · Skill: Water Walking] Allows walking on water by consuming energy core. Energy core consumption increases significantly with increased walking time and sea depth!

The sea breeze blew her red hair, making it look like a burning flame.
