Chapter 1229: Going to the Island is Difficult
Of course, the fishing boats all have their own fishing areas, and the direction is the same, but the farthest point that the fishing boats reach is still dozens of nautical miles away from the island where Shi Lei is going.
In the vast sea, tens of nautical miles away, let alone seeing the island, you can't even see a single hair.
Shi Lei felt a little headache, this distance was too far, and he originally thought that if he could get closer, he could at least observe the situation on the island. If it really doesn't work, Shi Lei can still swim over by himself, but it's so far, let alone swim over, he can't even take a look at the situation on the island.
Helpless, Shi Lei could only follow the fishing boat back.
The fishermen on the boat were also very curious about Shi Lei, a foreigner, who had traveled thousands of miles to this deserted sea, and couldn't see what his purpose was, just chatting with them if he had nothing to do. The communication effect between the key two sides is still very poor, after all, Shi Lei can only speak English, and these people are Malaysian fishermen, all speak Malay, and English can barely be understood, but if you want to say it so that Shi Lei can understand, it will really take a little effort.
When the fishing boats returned to the island, a freighter docked here, which is a regular vessel from Malaysia that sells supplies mainly to the fishing companies here. At the same time, it does not prohibit retail trading.
But the fishermen who work here basically don't buy anything from the freighter, on the one hand, the fishing company to which they belong will buy it in large quantities and then distribute it to everyone. Although everyone has a limited amount of money, they will go home every month, and when they come, they will also bring some of the supplies they need, and of course they don't have to buy them on the freighter. After all, the prices of the materials on the freighter are ridiculously high.
When Shi Lei got off the boat, he saw it and was curious, so he asked, and after learning about the situation, he smiled slightly and walked straight towards the boat.
The people on the freighter obviously spoke English well, Shi Lei quickly figured out the price, and without too much hesitation, he bought a lot of cans and spirits, as well as some cigars, and returned with a full load.
The price is really high, but it is not so high that Shi Lei feels unacceptable, perhaps because the consumption level in Malaysia is already low, and this kind of price is a bit too much for them who are bitter fishermen.
Of course, Shi Lei doesn't need to care about this money, he and these fishermen have also had a shoulder-to-shoulder relationship, which can basically meet Shi Lei's intimacy of inviting guests to dinner. In addition, although the price of these things is high, it does not violate the laws of the market, and the shipping cost alone is already very long-lasting, and the reasonable consumption determined by the black card has always been only the price of the other party, and it cannot deviate too much from the market rules. Shi Lei is ninety percent sure that the money will be counted in the quota.
Even if he doesn't count the quota, Shi Lei has a lot of independent funds in his hands, which is nothing.
After the fishing boat returns, of course, it is necessary to sort the seafood caught from the boat, but this is not the work of the fishermen on board, they hand over the boat and end the day's work.
So, under Shi Lei's greeting, more than 20 fishermen on the fishing boat came at once, and there were seventy or eighty percent, full of sixteen or seventeen people, sitting on the beach, feasting on the things that Shi Lei bought.
When the wine was hot, the relationship between Shi Lei and them became more harmonious, and even some of the more bold people had begun to call Shi Lei like this as a brother.
So, Shi Lei took the opportunity to ask about the private island, but he didn't expect these fishermen to be quite familiar with the island, and after understanding, Shi Lei knew that more than half of these fishermen had lived on that island, and that small island was also the habitat of their fishing company.
This is easy to do, while drinking and chatting, Shi Lei has a more three-dimensional and all-round understanding of the island. Even, someone directly took out the map drawn when he lived on that small island in the past, and some written materials about that island, although he couldn't understand it, but this obviously couldn't be difficult Shi Lei, he only needed to take photos, borrow these fishermen's computers, send them back to China, and hand them over to Yao Er, and soon all of them were translated into Chinese.
"Now we can't go over, that little island, including the surrounding fifteen nautical miles of the sea, has been bought by a consortium from India, and now it is absolutely forbidden for anyone or ship to approach it. There was once a private fisherman's boat that accidentally broke into it, only to be killed there. ”
Shi Lei was taken aback and said, "Isn't anyone in charge of this? What about your government?"
"The sea is so vast that we can't even find the boat, and who has any evidence to prove that people died at their hands? Moreover, the consortium also has investments in Malaysia, so the government will not offend such a consortium for the sake of a small fisherman. I've heard that on that island, in addition to guns for everyone, there are also heavy weapons. Sir, you don't want to go to that island, do you?"
At this time, of course, Shi Lei couldn't admit it, especially after hearing that everyone on that island had guns.
The time was late May, and Shi Lei's three opportunities to use the ancient martial arts card this month had all been exhausted, in this case, Shi Lei really didn't dare to set foot on that island rashly.
Fortunately, it was not long before June, and Shi Lei learned from these fishermen that they would return to Malaysia the day after tomorrow and come back a week later to continue their work.
Calculating the time, it is just right, if you follow this boat to Malaysia, and then follow their ship a week later, the opportunity to use the ancient martial arts card should almost be refreshed.
With three opportunities to use the Ancient Martial Arts Card, as well as three Divine Shooting Cards, plus the Hand Speed Card and the Diving Card, Shi Lei believes that he can basically ensure his safety on the island.
Anyway, there was no hurry in the past two days, so Shi Lei stayed for another day, and then followed the boats of those fishermen returning to Malaysia and came to Malaysia.
Then, Shi Lei flew directly to Hong Kong Island, of course, there was no need to hide this matter, he told Yao Er about the information and situation he got.
Yao Er frowned, and said very worriedly: "Sir, this is too dangerous, it's not worth it for a big mamba, right?"
Shi Lei shook his head and said: "This is not just a big mamba problem, but that European consortium, if they really plan to find a way to eliminate the pollution problem caused by palladium, they should not go to such a small island to conduct experiments, and they have also blocked the nearby sea area of fifteen nautical miles." This is clearly not normal. You think I want to be a superhero, but I still want to find out. You don't have to worry about my own safety, I need you to help me design a reasonable way to get from that seafood fishing island to that small island, how I should get to the island, and how to leave. ”
Seeing Shi Lei's insistence, Yao Er had to nod and say, "Okay, I'll arrange it, it's not difficult, just get as close to that island as possible and find two well-trained frogmen to send you to the island." ”
