Chapter 50: The Island Forbidden Zone

Through more in-depth conversations, Mu Lian slowly also developed trust in the two of Beiting, according to him, after going to the island, he tried to meet with Captain Dongfang Yue, because he didn't know about Lu Jiawei, so he didn't pay special attention; in addition, Chen Tianyu also specially asked about the accurate layout of the entire Evil Dragon Island, Mu Lian's description is not much different from what everyone in Beiting detected, but Mu Lian is obviously clearer about the three-dimensional structure of the entire island: there are two roads around the island built on Pliland Island, one is around the harbor, and the other is around the open sea, but in fact, it is not really aroundOn the other side of the trestle is the annex island of Priland Island, Guan Jin Island, which has an unwritten rule that no laborer is allowed to enter Guan Jin Island through the trestle, otherwise they will bear the consequences! Therefore, the newcomer Mulian does not know much about the situation of Guanjin Island; the kilometer wharf on Priland Island is running east-west, and the north side of the wharf is the wharf management station, where there are mainly some white people stationed, there are independent residential courtyards and fuel depots, fresh water reservoir vegetable and meat depots, responsible for the daily management of the wharf and ship business (supply, repair) contact, the number of people is not large; Halloween Plaza is located on the east side of the management station, that is, in the northeast of Plyland Island, where almost all the people working on the island are gathered, including porters, Stevedores, Builders, Repairmen (Mechanical, Electrical), Cooks, Waiters, Cleaners and other low-level personnel, the main job is to engage in the island management personnel are not willing to do the hard work; the commercial center or tourist center of Pully Island is located in the east of the island, is the main activity center of the people who land on the island, covers an area of relatively large (about 5 square kilometers), it should be said that this is the most regular area of the land area of Priland Island; Longwangji is located in the southeast of Pliland Island, in the past, it was actually a fishing village, it was the living area of the aborigines of the island, and later because of the development of commerce and the increase of tourists, it gradually began to engage in some part-time trade activities and earn a lot of income, so it also acquiesced to the outside of the islandThe existence of the "invaders", the south of Priland Island is also a leisure tourism area, where the beach stretches wide, the sand is fine and white, and the reef is full of rocks, the scenery is unique, suitable for all kinds of people on the island to play and entertain, and the place where the Beiting group catches the sea is also here.

"Actually, there is a forbidden area on Pully Island, where no one is allowed to trespass, and its specific location should be in the southwest of the island, not far from the trestle. After Mu Lian introduced the normal distribution of various areas on the island, he finally broke some useful information.

Chen Tianyu nodded and said that he had an impression of the trestle, and he also paid some attention to this forbidden area, because the location was not far from the area where they found the bunker, but because they had just landed on the island, it was inconvenient to attract too much attention, so they did not explore in that direction.

"If you can look down from the air, that forbidden area can actually be regarded as an attached island, insiders are used to calling it Chiba Island, this island is very small, maybe not even a square kilometer, it is only connected to Priland Island by a concrete bridge of four or five hundred meters, and there are many reefs around it, and the sea water generally does not fill the reef, so it looks more like the same land. Mu Lian explained in great detail.

"I really don't know anything about the situation in Chibajima. My co-workers said that outsiders who entered Chiba Island without permission had never come out, and many suspected that there was an army stationed there, and no one could tell the truth. However, the people of Chiba Island rarely go to the main island, and there are not many opportunities to meet, so it can be said that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and the two sides are safe. …… Anyway, I've been on the island for so long, and I've never seen anyone from Chibajima. Mu Lian said this, paused slightly, and took a sip of water by the way.

Chen Tianyu asked curiously, "Are there any workers who have been allowed to enter Chiba Island?"

"Yes. Mu Lian said with certainty, "But those are all veteran employees who have worked on the island for more than five years, and after many audits, I am naturally not qualified." ”

"I'm sure it's not convenient for you to ask about the specific situation of Chiba Island. Chen Tianyu expressed understanding.

Mu Lian nodded: "Well, before I find Captain Dongfang Yue, I try to keep a low profile, I usually don't ask about things that I can ask, and the fewer people I contact, the better." In addition to going to the beach to blow the trumpet every day, I wandered around the allowed range of activities on the island twice, but fortunately my sense of direction was okay, so I could have a rough grasp of the situation on the island. ”

Kuang Suo said strangely: "So, you don't participate in the daily work of the docks, do you?"

"At first, I couldn't help but participate, I didn't have many things, I could only do some hard work such as handling and unloading, and I really couldn't do technical work, but then they found out that I could treat some common diseases, so they didn't force me to do high-intensity manual labor. Although there is a pharmacy in the management station, there are not many medicines on the island, and even fewer are willing to use these laborers, and it just so happens that I have some additional Chinese medicine skills, so I am actually quite popular here, and I am slightly more free to move than others. After saying this, Mu Lian laughed a few times with satisfaction.

The profession of doctors does not starve to death anywhere, and this is really true.

"No one invited you to Chiba Island to heal the sick?" Chen Tianyu suddenly had a bold idea.

Mu Lian shook his head: "I guess there should be no shortage of doctors on Chiba Island." …… If my judgment is correct, Chiba Island should be the head of the entire Priland Island, and all kinds of facilities and equipment should be very complete, and they have been entrenched here for so many years, and their basic medical needs will not be oversatisfied. I heard that there are many people who die here because of overwork, and the island generally doesn't ask, and when they go to this island to work, the vast majority of people are probably not able to leave the island except death......" Speaking of this, Dr. Mu Lian, who is used to seeing life and death, also had a gloomy look on his face, "It may not be an exaggeration to say that this is hell on earth." ”

"Didn't anyone have the idea of escaping? It's so close to the dock, there should be a chance to sneak into the freighter and leave......" Kuangsuo immediately thought of this question.

Mu Lian smiled bitterly: "When you return to the freighter, you will know how strict the inventory is...... If it were that easy, then Halloween Square probably wouldn't even have a single figure. ”

"According to you, after so many years, not even a single one has escaped?" Kuang Suo still felt incredible.

A trace of horror flashed in Mu Lian's eyes, and he said for a long time: "I heard that there is." There was once a captain who was moved by compassion and misrepresented the identities of two laborers, and at first narrowly escaped the investigation, but the island soon discovered the loophole, and later, it is said that the freighter became a ghost ship......"

The two of them couldn't help but feel a cool breath from their back bones, it seems that this is not only a purgatory on earth, but actually more like a sea demon cave, there is no return.

Mu Lian suddenly smiled: "Actually, there is another way to leave the island smoothly, but it is not to escape......

"What's the solution?" said Kuang Shuo.

"Recruited by a freighter through formal channels. "I don't know if you've ever been to the Heroes' Tavern, but it's actually a place to recruit sailors, and only a very small number of laborers can be assigned to work on freighters through the tavern......"

Chen Tianyu said knowingly: "Oh, the commission must not be low...... Otherwise, it would not be possible to leave the island so easily. ”

"It's not low, it's sky-high, an ordinary sailor often costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and even so, these sailors have to pass a rigorous test to ensure that they don't reveal the secrets of the island, otherwise even if they leave the island, they will quickly become a corpse. "Mu Lian is gloomy and authentic.

Kuang Suo scratched his head and asked, "How do they monitor it?" Could it be that the freighters on the outlying islands are also full of eyeliner?"

Mu Lian shook his head: "I don't know about this...... Since they dare to do this, they must have their own special methods. Anyway, so far, I've heard of being a corpse, but I've never heard of a leak. ”

"It's not difficult to understand this, when the cost of outlying the island and secrecy is extremely asymmetrical, normal people will choose to keep secret......s," Chen Tianyu said lightly, "This is human nature, not to mention that leaking secrets is not beneficial to these people." ”

He then asked, "What I can't understand is who would come here and spend a huge sum of money to recruit ordinary sailors?"

Mu Lian finally laughed out loud: "Then you are wrong, the recruitment of sailors here is still quite hot...... If the ship wants to return to the mainland from here, it is simply impossible for the core post to be operated by no one......"

"Do you know how many ships pass by here every day with heavy casualties?"

Their ears almost pricked up.

"There are not ten but eight, and some ships, the crew is even dying, leaving the captain with a bare-rod commander...... Arrivals were all pulled in by tugboats. ”

The two of them secretly spoke, it seems that the shipwreck in the Dragon Triangle has really brought endless profits to this island, but another very uncomfortable emotion has also quietly grabbed their hearts, this is a naked robbery.

Chen Tianyu decided not to talk about this topic for the time being, because he had another matter that Mu Lian needed to answer.

"What about Guan Jindao, and what is that place?" he asked.

Mu Lian explained: "In fact, it is Chinatown, and the people living there are all Chinese, not even a foreigner. It is said that they have been tasked with guarding the lighthouse for decades, and everyone likes to call them the Messengers of the Light. However, like Chiba Island, it is forbidden for outsiders to set foot there, but the Chinese in Sekijin Island often travel to and from Plyland Island, and often visit Halloween Square to pay their respects, which is very popular on weekdays. ”

"Lamp Protector?" Chen Tianyu pondered the meaning of these words, "So, you have also been in contact with them?" he asked Mu Lian.

"Well, Miss Yu'er from Guan Jin Island, in our dilapidated slum, that is a well-known legend. ”

Speaking of this, a subtle smile also appeared on the corner of Mu Lian's mouth.
