Chapter Eighty-Six: Exploring the Island at Night

The pier was about three hundred meters long, made of cement and stones, and every ten meters stood a black pillar of cast iron, on which was wound brown thick hemp rope, and at the other end of the rope was tied a white-painted speedboat, which fluctuated up and down with the ebb and flow of the sea, and in the distance docked several huge pleasure boats, with flashing lights and swaying figures.

The rushing waves crashed against the shore, stirring up rows and rows of spray, and the water on the pier receded and came up again.

Several men in overalls walked around the docks, packing their things and looking ready to go home from work.

Paul took out a cigarette, lit it on the light blue flame of the lighter, exhaled a puff of smoke, leaned against a speedboat, and stood there looking at the sea, with a relaxed face.

The staff left one after another, and even the lights on the pier were turned off a few times, and the dock seemed much lonely.

Paul walked over to the last of the staff, swarthy, like soot from the bottom of a coal stove, dressed in gray-blue overalls, crouching on the ground, checking the hemp rope wrapped around the pillar to see if it was strong and reliable.

"Dude, take us out for a spin?" Paul asked.

The black-faced man squatting on the ground stretched out his fingers and shook them from side to side in the air, without even raising his head.

Unhurriedly, Paul pulled a stack of bills out of his pocket, crouched down, leaned against Blackface's shoulder, and quietly slipped it into his hand.

Blackface's thumb and forefinger moved, pinched the bill hard, stood up, looked left and right, exhaled, and asked in a low voice, "What do you guys do?"

"Tourists. ”

"Tourist?" the eyebrows of the black face were twisted together, like a question mark, and like a tangled hemp rope, "Do private work, the boss knows that he will fire me squid." ”

"Fun-loving tourists, don't worry, buddy, you won't be in trouble. Paul patted him on the shoulder, turned and beckoned to Bai Lotian, who was standing in the distance. "No, it's just a lap in the sea. He continued to comfort.

The other workers had finished their work and left the dock early, the water lapping against the pier, forming clusters of white splashes, and the speedboat tossed up and down, like warm hands, welcoming them.

"Quick, get on the boat, don't delay the time, I still want to go home, but I don't want to be scolded by my wife." God, for the sake of the money, I promise you, who will make Lao Tzu have a tight hand. Blackface muttered to the two of them as he untied the ropes.

When the two of them boarded the speedboat, Blackface threw the rope onto the side of the boat, jumped on both feet, and jumped onto the speedboat. He tied the rope, pressed the switch, and pulled hard with his right hand, and the engine roared.

"Which direction?" asked Blackface.

"There!" Paul said, pointing in the direction of Yuehua Island.

"It's a private island, so it's best not to get close, so be careful. ”

The speedboat turned around and rushed into the sea, like a sharp arrow, silently disappearing into the darkness. Bai Lotian turned to look at the shore, the lights on the shore were like scattered diamonds, strung together into a jewelry necklace, and they haloed into an orange soft light on the tip of the waves.

There was a layer of cold mist floating on the sea, as if breaking into a chaotic world, the speedboat split the waves, passed through the black sea, and headed east, leaving a splash behind the boat.

About half an hour later, a small island loomed in the sea fog, like a black giant lying in the middle of the sea, stretching for several kilometers. The seagulls whirl in the air, making a slight noise.

To the south of the island is a simple pier with spotlights installed on the pier, which constantly sweep across the sea to prevent outsiders from approaching.

Outside of the light, Blackface circled at an angle of nearly sixty degrees, the bow of the ship was aimed at the island, and then the engine was extinguished, allowing the speedboat to rest quietly on the undulating sea.

"Dude, you can only watch from afar, this is private territory, you can't invade. ”

Paul stood up, leaned on the side of the boat, approached Blackface, and shoved a stack of bills into his hand, "There's a friend here who needs our help, and he must go in! ”

Blackface rested the bill on the palm of his hand, swept it, put it under his nose, sniffed, "Oh God! it broke my heart again, for its sake." Biting his lip, he reached out and patted the console, revving the engine again, bypassing the dock to the south and continuing east.

The speedboat circled to the north side of the island and stopped far there.

From a distance, there are several huge reefs on the north side of the island, behind the reefs are tall trees, the canopy is large, and then there is a high wall made of cement, which is integrated with the mountain rocks standing on the wall, and the high wall of more than ten meters is the back wall of the building, on which there are two spotlights, constantly rotating, the lights shine on the night sky and the turbulent sea hundreds of meters away.

Blackface observed for more than ten minutes and found that there was still a gap between the angles illuminated by the two spotlights. He turned up the roar of his engine to a low level and was so low that it was hidden in the sound of the waves.

Along the narrow angle between the two spotlights, and the small gap formed by the speedboat, in the dark, quietly approached the island, until it came to the large, abrupt black-brown reef.

"This is it, you get off the boat here, I'll wait for you in the distance, and then you will swim over, but it will be fast, and it will be late, and I will go home alone for coffee." ”

"Okay, don't worry. Paul snapped his fingers, patted the side of the boat, and gestured to Bai Lotte.

The two changed into clothes in the backpack, put on hoods and gloves, and put on a pair of black soft-soled sneakers, only showing their two eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled, like two water ghosts.

Blackface struggled to turn the bow of the boat, and the water lapped against the bottom of the speedboat.

The two jumped out of the speedboat, strapped their backpacks, and walked on the sandy sand, along a dark curvy path, towards the swarthy wall.

Walking through the bushes of different heights, Bai Letian's face was scraped with a few blood marks, and he touched it with his hand, and it hurt hotly.

"It's exciting, and there's this kind of play. Paul looked at the high wall in the distance and whispered.

Just as they walked under the wall, a bright light came and almost shone on them, and the two of them quickly lay down under the bushes next to them, and they didn't dare to breathe.
