Chapter 30
three days later.

American Merchant Marine.

"Captain Johnson, we can go back to the United States when these slaves are all here."

Looking at the Chinese below who were being escorted into the cabin, William said with a smile.

"Yes."

Although Ji Shan had a smile on his face, his smile looked a little bitter no matter how you looked at it.

William seemed to be aware of this too. He looked a little embarrassed, and said a few more words. Seeing that Jishan was still not interested, he had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.

When William left, a look of anger suddenly appeared on Jishan's face, he grabbed a musket from the soldier next to him, and shot at the Chinese below indiscriminately.

"what!"

Hearing the gunshot, the Chinese below suddenly became confused and panicked.

Seeing the crowd in a mess, Jishan's depression from losing the gold was relieved a bit.

Returning the musket to the soldier, he turned and walked towards the captain's cabin.

But he didn't know that at this moment, among the crowd below, how many people got together.

"Junior Brother Liang, did Ji Shan find us?"

"Yeah, otherwise why did he suddenly shoot?"

"Should we change the plan of action?"

Bai Shu, who was smearing some dust on his face, heard the words: "Don't worry, everyone, Ji Shan didn't find us, otherwise he would have ordered to shoot us... Let's continue with the original plan."

This group of people was naturally disguised as Baizhu and his party who wanted to go to the United States to prospect for gold.

"When we get to the cabin later, everyone will follow my instructions. Don't be reckless or alert the enemy."

After giving instructions to Bai Shu, he followed the crowd to board the boat.

……

Arriving at the cabin where the Chinese workers were detained, Baizhu smelled an unpleasant stench before entering.

Others naturally smelled the smell. Thinking of Jishan's sudden shooting, some keen people realized that something seemed wrong. An uneasiness flowed faintly among the crowd, and the speed of advancement suddenly slowed down.

The American soldiers immediately noticed this and fired two shots into the air.

boom!
boom!
As the gunfire rang out, the crowd fell silent again and had to enter the cabin under the shouts of American soldiers.

When he came inside, Baizhu saw that the place was full of devastation, and those who had come to the boat before had a look of numbness.

Even when they saw Bai Zhu and others coming in, these people showed no other expression except for a look of sympathy or gloating.

In this weird atmosphere, everyone fell silent.

Seeing this, Bai Shu gave the cleverer members of the militia a wink.

Seeing this, the man expressed understanding, and then asked a middle-aged man who was already in the cabin: "Hey, brother, what is your expression? We are going to the United States to pan for gold, are you unhappy?"

The middle-aged man sneered when he heard this and ignored the vigilante members.

"What do you mean, are you afraid that I will steal your gold when I go to the United States, so indifferent?"

The vigilante continued to ask.

"Gold back?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but sneered: "It's good to be alive, and the gold is returned!"

"Brother, how do you say this?"

Seeing this, Bai Shu hurriedly asked, "How can you say it's good to be alive?"

"Anyway, you're all here, so I'm not afraid to tell you."

The middle-aged man said with despair on his face: "These Americans don't treat us as human beings at all. From the first day I came on the ship, the best meal I ever had was two sour buns!"

"Heh, at least you've eaten steamed buns. I haven't eaten in two days."

Someone added with a sneer.

"Okay, you are still alive after all, be content!"

Someone next to him said, "I've been on the boat for almost five days, and I've already seen three people die."

"Still dead?"

Bai Shu deliberately loudly said: "How can people still die?"

Hearing Bai Shu's voice, the people who had just entered were in an uproar.

One must know that they all came here for the golden mountains of the United States, who knew that there would be deaths?
For a while, there was an undercurrent in the cabin.

Seeing this, Bai Shu immediately sent a signal to the members of the militia, so everyone immediately went through needles to arouse everyone's emotions.

Soon, with the popularity of these first comers, everyone knew that the road they were about to embark on was not a gold rush at all, and it might even be a road of no return!

"No, we can't sit still like this!"

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited, Baizhu suddenly shouted loudly: "I want to leave!"

"Yes, leave!"

"We're leaving!"

"Refund the money, we're leaving!"

Hearing Bai Zhu's voice, the others immediately followed suit.

Instigated by Bai Shu and others, the cabin was excited.

Seeing this, Bai Shu knew that the time had come, and came to the hatch of the ship. When no one was paying attention, he summoned the flying sword, and then opened the hatch with one sword strike.

"Brothers, rush with me!"

After shouting, he jumped out of the cabin first.

Following Bai Shu, Ling Yunkai and other members of the militia immediately rushed out together.

Under the leadership of Bai Shu and others, no matter those who came here first or those who just came here, they all ran out with the crowd.

The appearance of Baizhu and others obviously caught the Americans by surprise.

They never imagined that these people imprisoned in the cabin could escape.

Looking at the American soldiers who were still in a daze, Bai Shu was naturally unceremonious, and came up to him in two steps in three steps, and knocked them unconscious with two punches.

At this time, the soldiers on the ship finally came to their senses. They hurriedly took out their guns and began to load the guns with ammunition.

In a panic, Bai Shu took out his revolver and fired two shots at the two soldiers closest to him.

As the gunshots sounded, the two soldiers fell to the ground immediately.

"No, the enemy has guns!"

The American soldiers were shocked when they heard the two gunshots.

When Bai Shu and the others ran out of the cabin, they already thought it was unbelievable, but at this moment they even took out their guns, they felt like they were dreaming.

For a while, they lay down one after another, trying to find a safe hidden snow area.

Bai Shu knew that time was precious, so he took out his revolver again and fired continuously at several soldiers who could not dodge.

Every time he fired, someone fell.

For a while, these American soldiers were so frightened by Bai Shu's marksmanship that they didn't even dare to show their heads, but just shrank in a corner to avoid it.

Bai Shu knew that this was not the time to relax. It would only take a moment for these American soldiers to come to their senses, and the unarmed Chinese in the cabin would become their living targets.

He looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Brother Ling, come and do me a favor."

Bai Shu called Ling Yunkai to stop, and the two came to a cannon.

"Junior Brother Liang, what are you going to do?"

Looking at Bai Shu who was picking up the cannonball and loading it into the barrel, Ling Yunkai asked.

"I?"

Bai Shu bared his teeth and smiled: "Have a blast!"

After speaking, he aimed the muzzle in the direction of the captain's cabin and lit the matchlock.

boom!
With a loud noise, the cannonball quickly flew out of the muzzle, and landed somewhere behind the captain's cabin.

"Oops, it's wrong."

Bai Zhu was annoyed when he saw this.

However, just as he was about to take the opportunity to fire another shot, he heard a series of more violent explosions from the place where the shells landed, and then, the flames shot into the sky.

"Did...I hit the ammunition depot?"

Bai Shu was both surprised and delighted.
