Chapter 626
They are just doing registration today. The warship needs to count the population before deciding which supplies to drop.
Although the Zhou family's cruise ship is small to medium-sized, it can easily carry a thousand people, and a thousand people weigh about fourteen tons.
In order to keep the ship light and fast in case of future emergencies, they could only load an additional seven or eight tons of supplies and no more.
Therefore, the Zhou family discussed it and asked Zhipeng to help pass this message to the warship.
If the warship does not think that they are taking the opportunity to steal supplies, their Zhou family is willing to help the warship carry a batch of supplies.
Better than throwing it directly into the sea!
That night, Zhipeng brought a soldier with a higher rank on board to discuss the matter.
The Zhou family was slightly surprised. They didn't expect the other party to be so anxious.
But he still received the colonel with great caution.
Zhipeng introduced that this was the "deputy captain" on the warship, whose surname was Shang.
Deputy Captain Shang was in his fifties, tall, and dressed in a neat military uniform with epaulettes shining with gold.
After boarding the cruise ship, he glanced at the Zhou family with sharp eyes.
He should have known about the Zhou family's situation in advance, so he was not surprised by their combination.
He followed the Zhou family to the lobby on the fourth floor and went straight to the point, speaking in a very polite tone: "Mr. Qi, Ms. Zhou, we are very grateful for your generosity.
Your willingness to bear some of the supplies for the warship will undoubtedly reduce our burden and save more people. After our consultation and discussion, we have decided to temporarily transfer a batch of supplies to your cruise ship and return them when we find land!"
Qi Mingyu nodded slightly. "Earlier, a major came and wanted us to take in ordinary survivors, but we also told them our difficulties. We have a small family and it's not easy for us to survive until now. We are like children walking around the market with huge treasures. We took so many people on board, but we were unable to control them. We had no weapons or manpower to restrain them.
We're offering to help the warship carry some of the supplies, so we can contribute our own strength. Please don't blame us for not accepting the survivors."
In his speech, he first described the difficulties and then explained the reasons for doing so.
It is well organized and goes deep layer by layer, which can easily touch people's hearts.
Deputy Captain Shang's eyes flashed and he looked at him intently.
When he got on the cruise ship just now, he noticed at a glance that this young man, who was about 30 years old, had served in the army. His posture, demeanor and expression were all full of the fortitude of a soldier.
In fact, since the earthquake and encountering this huge fleet, Qi Mingyu and Zhou Shuwan have been very low-key.
They didn't want to show up on the warship side for too long and draw attention.
But in fact, when they arrived in cruise ships and helicopters, they already attracted everyone's attention.
Deputy Captain Shang stroked his short beard lightly, gazing deeply at Qi Mingyu with a slight smile. "Mr. Qi, there's no need to be so modest. We all see your contributions. Honestly, it's a great fortune for us to meet a survivor like you."
He paused, his tone softening a bit. "A veteran is easy to spot at a glance. Which unit did you serve in?"
Qi Mingyu did not hide it on purpose. When he was recognized, he stood up, saluted, and told the number of the unit he had served in.
Deputy Captain Xiao was a little surprised and looked at Qi Mingyu again: "Special forces, they are the best of the best!"
Qi Mingyu smiled faintly: "That's all in the past. What I want to do now is to be with my family."
Deputy Captain Xiao nodded, his voice filled with regret: "Yes, after the apocalypse, it is really difficult for a family to be reunited and stay together."
