One hundred and seventy-two Adivi Islands
Somalia is located on the Somali Peninsula in the easternmost part of the African continent, bordered by the Gulf of Aden in the north, the Indian Ocean in the east, and Kenya and Ethiopia in the west, with a total area of 630,000 square kilometers.
How poor and chaotic is this place?
In the 16th and 18th centuries, the great powers of the African continent were all brains for gold and precious stones, but Somalia was safe and sound, and it was not until 1941 that it became a British colony. However, British colonization was not for its minerals and resources, but for its unique geographical location into the Mediterranean shipping lanes.
After the fall of the previous Somali government in 1991, the land remained in a state of anarchy dominated by warlords before being restored to power in 2004. However, Somalia is the only sea route for cargo ships to and from the Suez Canal, and the social and educational systems have collapsed for many years due to the continuous civil war, and the local people have been practicing piracy since the 20th century.
Violence and fraud are rife in every corner of this sin city, and it is known as the most insecure city in the world, and after more than 20 years of civil war, the country and its people have been tormented by war, and there is hardly a single intact and undamaged building in the entire city, which is a battlefield. And what makes it most famous is the incredible number of pirates.
The investment in piracy is very small, requiring only small boats and other guns, communications and other equipment, which is disproportionate to the huge profits from hijacking. The owners of the hijacked ships would rather pay a large ransom than protect the lives of the crew. With an average of $1 million to $2 million per ship hijacked, pirates have become the most popular part-time job for young people in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.
In fact, it has been a pirate's paradise since ancient times.
In the past few days of hurrying, Li Huan and Han Dong relied on high-horsepower engines to speed at sea without encountering any danger. After all, it is at sea, in order to prevent all possible dangers, Li Huan even let Xiao Maruko follow him in the sea, escorted by the giant octopus of the Pacific Rim, as long as they do not encounter large military ships, then they are invincible.
Li Huan has space for pets.
He put the little pill into the space at first, and then released it to escort it.
After the completion of the legendary quest on Panshi Island, he once obtained a location in the pet space, but after that, Li Huan has not been in the wild much, and he has little chance to find his favorite pet. Unexpectedly, Ada's invitation this time gave Li Huan this opportunity - Xiao Maruko became his first pet who could communicate in the real sense.
Unlike Bengal Tiger Huang Xiaomeng, Li Huan can now use his mental power to accurately command Xiao Wanzi's every movement, so this is his first pet. With a pet, Li Huan wanted to try the convenience of the pet space, and after he put the little balls in, the Pacific giant octopus, which was more than thirty meters long, became a real "octopus balls", the size of a baby's fist, and the skin was shining, and it was simply budding.
However, considering that he had to pass through the famous Pirate Bay, he released Maruko again.
Originally, he thought that the speed of Maruko could not keep up with the speed of the yacht, but he did not expect that it moved by the way of water jets, and the swimming speed was no worse than that of the yacht. As long as you stand by the side of the boat, you can faintly see its shadow.
"There are still sixty nautical miles away from the destination!" Han Dong wore a toad mirror and held the steering wheel in his hand, as an elite soldier of the special air service group, he could basically fiddle twice except for the fish in the water.
"See if there are any stalkers behind us, go around in a circle. Li Huan fiddled with the mysterious black ring behind the boat.
Li Huan is sending warmth to his film and television studio in China.
Because yesterday, his faith points rose slightly by about 300,000 points, and he called back, just as Yu Ting also wanted to tell him the good news.
Most of the materials sent back by Xiaofei can be used by simple editing, and Yu Ting found people who are veterans with strong work ability, so they produced a two-minute trailer in just two days, plus post-special effects processing and dubbing. Synthesizing various materials, Yu Ting decided to make the first film into something similar to an adventure movie.
Then, she passed the film to Li Huan, and Li Huan herself was stunned - am I so brave and powerful? I'm so handsome......
The beginning of the film starts with Li Huan jumping into the sea and entering the magnificent underwater world, to discovering the shipwreck Vida, and the small climax is when he encounters the octopus balls, and after salvaging the things in the wreck, he encounters pirates. At the end of the short film, it ends in the stubborn picture of Li Huan and Alexander, who has not changed his form.
"It's a pity, if there is a subsequent plot development in the future, this must be a super adventure film, Liu Qianhuan watched this short film, and tried to push it to his Hollywood friends, do you know what they say? This film is worth investing hundreds of millions of dollars to publicize!" Yu Ting's tone on the phone was very excited, but then she was a little disappointed: "It's a pity, there is no follow-up to the film, is it difficult to find this treasure?"
"Hey, we're already on our way to treasure hunting. Li Huan thought about it, and still told Yu Ting the truth: "Remember you told me about the De Beers who made the diamond scam? There are a lot of diamonds in this treasure that can affect this scam, so our actions are kept secret, but don't worry, the next one will definitely be more exciting than the previous one!"
"Really!?" Yu Ting was pleasantly surprised, and then immediately said worriedly: "Is it dangerous?"
"As far as Han Dong and me, it's not a big problem, you can wait for my next material with peace of mind, but this matter can't be leaked until we finally find the treasure, you must keep it secret. Li Huan instructed seriously.
"Don't worry, then we try to keep calls to a minimum, and you must pay attention to safety. After Yu Ting finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone, for those multinational companies with vast powers, invading a phone call is as simple as eating and drinking. Although they may not know their relationship with Li Huan, as long as there is a one-in-10,000 chance of bringing danger to Li Huan, Yu Ting will resolutely not do it.
Hanging up the phone, Li Huan's heart warmed, although this kind of security awareness is completely unnecessary, it is not so easy for a British company to listen to the phone calls of Chinese citizens......
Hanging up the phone, Li Huan lay on the deck in a daze, thinking that he was a college student half a year ago, and now he is driving a yacht to hunt for treasures, and there are still three girls waiting for him in China, and I don't know if this is lucky or unlucky......
was thinking wildly, and suddenly felt that the mental power in his body was slightly excluded from catharsis, and the involuntary mental power catharsis pulled Li Huan back to the real world - the black ring began to draw his spiritual power regularly every day.
That's right, it's the black ring that was taken out of the Hypnos box and made Li Huan embezzle.
Knowing that if he wears this ring on his body, he will regularly absorb Li Huan's spiritual power every day, not much each time, only one or two hundred points.
And this absorption is uncontrolled.
And every time the ring absorbs spiritual power on its own, it will dispel a small part of the black mist inside the ring.
The first time there was a leak of spiritual power, Li Huan was really startled, and thought that it was going to suck himself dry, but fortunately, the ring only absorbed one or two hundred points of spiritual power to dispel the black mist.
As the black mist continued to compress, the luster of the ring also changed, from a dead black at the beginning, to a shiny oily finish.
What is this ring for? Li Huan was a little curious, anyway, it didn't absorb much every time, so he just let it go.
……
Two hours later, Li Huan and Han Dong anchored the ship.
The treasure map islands that Xiao Fei cracked are a series of islands in front of him.
The Adivi Islands are made up of more than a dozen deserted islands, and the natural conditions are extremely harsh, many of which are simply sandbars, dangerous like reefs at high tide, and only exposed at low tide. Only the six or seven islands that have always been on the horizon are also reborn from rocks, with no fresh water and surrounded by reefs.
The desert island in the southwest corner is a U-shaped island, not the largest in the entire archipelago, but the most conspicuous - this is the island where the treasure is located.
The island's long wings bulge out of the water, creating a natural haven. It's just that because the water is so shallow, large tonnage ships run aground when they come in, and the situation in Somalia makes no one willing to invest in the development of this place, so it is basically a completely deserted uninhabited island. It was six o'clock in the evening, which happened to be the time of high tide, and I could barely get the boat into the U-shaped opening, otherwise the two would have to swim two nautical miles before they could go ashore.
The two of them carefully parked the boat, there was no harbor to go ashore, so they had to jump into the water and wade through.
"I've hated all the islands since Panshi, I really hated them. Han Dong sighed.
The treasure map that Xiao Fei cracked can only be accurate to this island, so they have to find the specific treasure location themselves.
Fortunately, the area of this island is not large, that is, a radius of about five kilometers, which is still a circle compared with Panshi Island. Although the island is not big, but there are many coconut trees and banana trees on the island, Li Huan released Xiaofei's two slaves, one overlooking the aircraft from a high altitude scanned the terrain of the entire island, except for a very regular circular lake in the middle, the entire island is almost covered by trees.
The main island in the southwest corner of the Adivi archipelago has remained wild almost all the time. Thanks to its unique location, almost no one has paid attention to it over the years, and even most nautical charts label this archipelago of mostly sandbars as a "reef zone".
Originally, it could be a tourist area like the Maldives, with transparent blue waters, fine sandy beaches, and abundant underwater resources, but given the chaos in Somalia, there are often pirates here, and no international tourism developers will set their sights on it. The inability of the Mogadishu authorities to develop the sandbar has left the scenic sandbar on hold.
Li Huan seems to have a feeling of returning to the live broadcast period, at that time, he could casually talk nonsense with sailors, but now there is only one Han Dong left by his side. Half a year ago, when Li Huan died in the wilderness live broadcast, he never thought that he would develop into what he is today.
To be honest, Li Huan now wants to find the treasure as soon as possible and end this adventure, there are still three girls in China who like him waiting for him, and the most thing is ...... He's still a virgin!
Just when Li Huan was thinking wildly, suddenly he felt a spiritual power with a rotten aura begin to spread in the air. Li Huan's body was shocked, and that spiritual power actually came from the depths of Adivi's U-shaped island.
