Chapter 244 [Set Sail in the Storm]
(Finding pirate treasure isn't a perfect treasure hunt if you don't have a villain.) Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info)
(Please rest assured, the main line of this article is still the wilderness, and the treasure hunt is just a dye for the protagonist's life.) I have other special arrangements for those plots, and they will not become the main color. Some friends aren't used to seeing conspiracy, and I'm not very good at writing this, so my plot won't be abused!
When the group arrived in Sydney, they had just settled in the hotel, and Chen Ergou quietly found Chen Mengda, "Third uncle, there is something important that requires you to run first." We're being targeted. ”
"What's going on?" Chen Mengda became serious when he heard this.
Chen Ergou briefly said what happened before, "Although the other party did not take drastic actions, he obviously looked at us. After all, wealth is moving, treasures have not yet been unearthed, and everyone is a competitor. We also need to make some preparations. ”
Chen Mengda said: "The other party doesn't have any clues, could it be that he wants to startle the snake and want you to lead the way?"
"I don't rule it out. The other party is keeping an eye on me, so you should be alert on this trip, and I also need to grasp the environment there in advance and make detailed arrangements. ”
"What do you want me to do, just say?"
"Trouble the third uncle to go and find out the basic situation of some islands first, pretend to be a tourist, and record the information. ”
"Is this just that, then I'm going to travel. ”
Chen Ergou nodded, and gave him some information about the island that he needed to focus on, "Pay attention to safety all the way, it's best to dress up." ”
"Understood, when will you leave?" Chen Mengda thought about it quite exciting, after all, he had lived for half his life and had always been a small people who kept to themselves, and he didn't expect that one day he would be able to take an adventure and hunt for treasures.
"The sooner the better, we stay in touch at all times. ”
Early the next morning, Chen Mengda quietly left the team with a mission and went to the Caribbean to play the front station.
Although everyone was a little surprised by Chen Mengda's departure, they didn't think much about it.
Because the next journey has already dizzy them. In Su Qiqi's words, "Oh my God, this is Australia, the rustic "G'day-Mate" simple Australia, and the Australia where you can walk all over the world in slippers." How can you bear to wear a little black dress, stuff your feet into high heels, and put a wig on your fake breasts to stride here?"
If possible, this group of people would like to live in Sydney every day as they live, and they don't know what attractions they are. In a short period of time, you can barely go to the opera house, but it is definitely not as exciting as going to Star-City to experience a night of passion.
But as a man who loves the wilderness, what's so good about Sydney?
I watched an amazing flamenco show, ate a 1.5-meter-long pizza in the harbor area, caught a chocolate festival that slaughtered people, or took a ferry across the bridge. Chen Ergou has never had much enthusiasm for the city, even if it is vibrant, sexy, hot, and exotic.
Well, that's a long way off.
They only had time to take a bunch of photos before flying to Vanuatu via Brisbane.
Vanuatu, mentioning this name, many people are destined to feel unfamiliar.
-- This is a bitter archipelago nation doomed to extinction.
On some domestic tourism websites, there are also many people who bluff people to say that tourists here are rare, in fact, they are all nonsense, a group of people arrive here, the so-called travelogue of Port Vila, Santo? Island and Tanna Island, are all places where old men and old ladies can be seen all over the street, the more famous Tanna Island, the world's best contact active volcano, is a sunset or afternoon, full of people.
Vanuatu is similar to Fiji, a series of South Pacific island countries, which is basically the backyard of Australia and New Zealand.
However, occasionally you can see four Chinese, sitting there playing mahjong, very joyful pictures.
Vanuatu is visa-free for China, and China has also provided much assistance to the island nation.
These mahjong-playing big brothers, some of whom are surgeons from the Chinese medical team stationed in Vanuatu who operate on locals for free, have been here for a year, and there is still a year to go.
In addition to playing mahjong during the break, it is to go to the surrounding blue hole to snorkel, or to barbecue somewhere. When you meet an old friend in a foreign country, you will naturally have an exchange. An elder brother surnamed Hu also told him, "It's best not to drink the tap water here, drink rainwater if you want to drink it, Vanuatu has no industry, and the rainwater is very clean." ”
The culture of each island here is different, and the language is also different, and there is one island that is the most special, with more than 30 languages alone. With so many people living together with a mixture of prophecies, it is hard to imagine such a place as a country.
It's primitive, it's a lotte, and the people who live here don't even know what their troubles are, and on their island, there are fish, lobsters, coconut crabs to catch everywhere, fruits and vegetables everywhere, and every day is to eat, sleep, and get high......
If you change to a Chinese tourist, I'm afraid that you will have to look longing. As it is, it is also attracting Chinese immigrants.
Chen Ergou found an experienced local guide named Stewart, who was also a teacher at a secondary school in Australia, and only worked part-time as a guide in his hometown.
"Vanuatu is part of the Melanesian archipelago," Stewart said, "and there are 83 islands in the country, 68 of which are inhabited, and the largest island, Santo Island, covers an area of nearly 4,000 square kilometres. If you're going on a desert island adventure, I recommend checking out those 15 uninhabited desert islands. ”
"No, I'm not going to be inside Vanuatu, it would be more ideal if there were some unknown offshore islands. ”
Stewart thought for a moment, "There might be a sea for you to explore."
He took out an old chart and showed it to Chen Ergou.
"This area is very dangerous, there are almost a thousand unknown islands. Storms, volcanic islands are the protagonists there. During World War II, many of the islands were occupied by the Japanese because of their geographical location, and foreign ships were not allowed to enter the area. Later, after the defeat of Japan, Australia executed many war criminals as the victorious power, and most of the islands were taken over by the United States, Australia, or the United Nations. On some islands, the ruins of military forts can even be seen. But they are dilapidated, lack fresh water, and are no longer suitable for habitation, and they are almost forgotten by the world. ”
"There have been fishing boats that have entered there and been lucky enough to find natural pearls. ”
"Pearl?" Chen Ergou was surprised.
"Yes," Stewart laughed, "if you're a jeweler, maybe you can grow pearls there." ”
Chen Ergou shook his head, "You think too much, I'm just a tourist." "Pearls are not so easy to raise, the environment is important, otherwise the most famous pearl source in the world is not only in the Persian Gulf.
After inquiring about a few things, they rented a seaplane and took a guide to the field to do an aerial expedition first.
Planes hovered over the sea, and hurricanes flew into the South Pacific Ocean.
The South Pacific Ocean, what a familiar name, is home to more than 20,000 islands, a quarter of the Earth's water. Since Captain Cook completed his journey at sea two hundred and thirty years ago, this vast ocean has remained unrecognizable.
In the middle of the boundless blue, isolated islands are also a refuge for some rare animals. It has some of the purest waters of any ocean. The infinite sea area has long been infinite possibilities in the South Pacific.
The turquoise waters, the postcard-like islands, are like paradise on earth.
However, it is not as you see. Storms, volcanoes, and even hail show their cruel side all the time. There are also islands formed by submarine volcanic eruptions, which have evolved into a unique and extraordinary way of life.
Chen Ergou compared the chart with the sky, and suddenly pointed to the string of islands at his feet and asked, "What is this place, and why is it not recorded on the map?"
Stewart also looked at it in wonder, and suddenly said, "That's Whale Island, the small uninhabited atoll around it. It is too small to be marked on this map, nor is it on the sailing line of the ocean, therefore, the place is not to be found on the nautical chart. ”
Chen Ergou thought about it and asked Zhang Zhengyang to take a few clicks on the latitude and longitude coordinates here.
"It's not a good idea, it's already out there, there's an active volcano on the bottom of the sea, and it's very dangerous to have a storm," Stewart said. ”
"Don't worry, I'm just doing it for reference. Chen Ergou said with a smile.
"Okay...... I hope so. "He's been exposed to too many adventurers, and it's not clear what these young people think.
The plane circled again, recorded several coordinates and returned.
At this point, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Su Qiqi asked Zhang Zhengyang, "Which island does the boss choose, and we can also make logistical security preparations." ”
Zhang Zhengyang smiled bitterly: "Who knows what he thinks, I guess he didn't think about what rescue he wanted us to do at all." For him, once the rescue means the risk of failure, do you think it is possible? ”
Xia Meng insisted: "But these still have to be done, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”
Zhang Zhengyang nodded seriously and said, "I know, the ships and planes are ready." As long as the danger is identified, we will rush to it in the shortest possible time. ”
The day is getting closer and closer to the live broadcast.
In the past few days, Chen Ergou's Weibo has been frantically updated with a lot of content. From Sydney to Vanuatu, the high-definition scenery photos along the way have already dizzy fans, and finally waiting for the live broadcast day, they are looking forward to this long-lost trip to a desert island.
The next day, Chen Ergou was full of energy and ready to go.
The situation suddenly happened, and the sky changed.
"The weather forecast says there's a Category 10 storm off the coast with huge waves," Stewart said. If you go to sea today, the danger will be extremely high. I suggest you postpone your departure a day for the time being. ”
Xia Meng also worried and persuaded: "Yes, boss, let's listen to the guide, it doesn't matter if you postpone it for a day, at most you can explain." ”
Chen Ergou didn't reply, and asked Zhang Zhengyang instead: "Can you pass through the storm?"
Xia Meng quickly gave him a look, but Chen Ergou was still staring, this involved his professional knowledge, Chen Ergou hired him at a high price to do this, how could he be happy. Said helplessly: "I have received professional training in storm resistance, and my mock test score at that time was A. ”
Chen Ergou smiled: "Then it's decided." ”
"If the weather is clear, it is not easy to cause unexpected emergencies. Since it's a wilderness survival, I'll just play a survivor who crashed into the sea in a plane crash. ”
Although it was a bit unlucky to say this, he had made up his mind and there was obviously no way to change it.
Xia Meng gave him a final equipment check, tried to stuff some food into his clothes pocket, but he found out and stopped him. Xia Meng was helpless and handed him a few pieces of chocolate candy, "It's always okay to bring a few pieces of this." ”
Chen Ergou smiled and did not refuse this time.
The propeller of the plane started, making a violent humming sound, and suddenly the fuselage was light, and after shaking a few times, it suddenly glided quickly on the water, and the speed became faster and faster, and finally after a violent shock, it flew towards the open sea and sky.
