It’s just that, because they only prepared one boat, after rescuing many people along the way, the boat became crowded.

Shen Zhigui had been in the cockpit all the time and was unaware of the situation outside. By the time Lin Xuyuan came in to report, the boat was already full.

"Return."

Looking at the bustling crowd on the boat, Shen Zhigui made the decision without much hesitation.

Jin Chuyu and the others had no objections to Shen Zhigui’s decision; even if he hadn’t said it, they would have suggested returning.

However, the rescued people noticed that the boat aiding their escape suddenly nodded and turned back, causing quite a stir among the crowd.

They had escaped from this direction, and now, after finally following the boat out, they were returning. Many people expressed their opposition.

Jin Chuyu and the others directly used superpowers to suppress: "We told you long ago, if you want to get on the boat, you can only follow us wherever we go.

If you’re not willing, then you can get off the boat now!"

This trip was initially just to check the situation after the flood, not for rescue.

Letting them onboard was already because Boss Chu’s hotel needed new patrons. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Otherwise, even if they stood by and watched, no one could say anything.

It’s post-apocalypse, rescuing people is a favor, not rescuing is normal, they aren’t official personnel with a responsibility to protect people.

"Don’t you... don’t you fear the authorities finding out and holding you accountable? There are so many of us, if something happens, can you bear the responsibility?

Besides, when we got on the boat, we paid with supplies!"

Some stubborn people, still not seeing the situation clearly, retort stubbornly.

Shen Zhigui chuckled lightly, "Bear the responsibility? Even if I throw all of you overboard now, no one can hold us accountable."

And about the supplies you mentioned, it was made clear before boarding; these are your tickets, giving you only the right to board, but other matters don’t concern you.

If you’re unwilling to follow us back, then get off the boat now. The supplies handed over will not be refunded."

It’s as if the kindness they showed before has been wasted.

Shen Zhigui grabbed the person who retorted the hardest by the back of the collar, lifted him like a monkey, and then threw him out beyond the deck railing.
