HNA at the end of summer.

Clear blue waters, warm sunshine.

If it weren't for the guarded group of strangers around him, Donald felt that he would be in a good mood.

If you count the sailors and captains of the ship, there are 5 groups of people on the entire deck, each occupying a place, and the atmosphere on the sailor's side is the most normal, after all, for them this is a normal voyage, just carrying a group of strange-looking guests.

On the other hand, these strangers are well aware, and when they go to Moss Island at this point in time before the Rainstorm Week, almost all of them go to the steel-clawed mole, which means that the people sitting here are likely to be the next competitors, and the atmosphere is naturally not much better.

"The daily habits of the steel-clawed mole, the way of fighting, ......"

Push your sunglasses to your forehead and look at your notes carefully.

Anthony's thorough preparation was more than just a few props, not long after he went out to sea, he took a note and handed it to Donald, which clearly described some information about the alien beast of the steel-clawed mole.

"It says that the steel-clawed mole rats are extremely hearing, and they will notice the slightest wind and grass on the ground, and only eat certain plant stems on Moss Island..... When you come out to breathe, you're only going to be outside for less than 5 seconds, how are you going to catch it?"

Donald had thought that this beast was not much different from a groundhog, and he had in mind a method like using food as a trap or ambushing nearby, but now it seems that ordinary methods should not work.

"Catching the steel-clawed mole can only be done within five seconds of its probe, and after landing on the island, we must first find the breath opening of the steel-clawed mole, and then crouch next to it, betting on the reaction time of those few seconds...... This is also the reason why the steel-clawed mole rat is extremely rare in the market, and the opportunity is these days every year, and many times after waiting for a few hours, a little relaxation of attention may be nothing. ”

To put it simply, if you don't have special means to catch this strange beast, then you can only rely on enough patience.

"5 seconds, as soon as you get close, you will be detected, how can you kill with one hit?"

Donald asked, wondering if he had any means to help Anthony catch the steel-clawed mole.

"I'll crouch in the trees and rely on your perception to judge when the steel-clawed mole will emerge, and I think if you work together, there's a good chance. ”

That's what Anthony came up with, and he invited Donald for a reason, capturing the steel-clawed mole was a technical job.

"Maybe I'll have some way to do it then. ”

"What?"

"For the time being, let's sell it first, you'll know when you land on the island, this time I'm going to sea with you, I don't plan to go back empty-handed, by the way, when it comes to the question of empty-handed, there are no other resources on Moss Island, only steel-clawed moles?"

There is not just one creature on the island.

"Something else, besides herbs and tree fruits, is the wildlife of Moss Island...... The value of these things is average, if the quantity is larger, some people may buy it at a high price, but if it is only a small amount, it is difficult to sell it at a good price, after all, it is just a low-intensity island. ”

"There's some truth to what you say. ”

Donald leaned on the side of the ship, but he didn't have much disappointment, this time he went to sea to test the waters, and he came to help.

As the sailing time passed, the sea grew tired of seeing, and the structure of the lifeboat on the side of the ship was analyzed back and forth twice, and after the initial novelty had passed, it seemed that all that Donald could do was to be in a daze.

Toot ~ Toot ~

Just as he was pondering whether to find something to do, a few short, loud whistles rang out, and the entire deck looked back in the direction from which the sound came.

"Big ship!"

Donald heard Anthony mutter, and looked up to see a massive steel ship, at least three times larger than the one they were on.

The position of the opposing ship was only a few hundred meters away from them, and it was extremely fast, catching up and staggering from behind.

Donald could clearly see a number of people standing on the deck, all of them fully armed, and among them there were even a few eye-catching beasts, a white kangaroo, and a bird with a long colored feather on its head...... Or chickens.

Donald didn't see it all.

"Look at their ship mark, Lenny Machinery, I think this is the team exploring the unknown island, after all, it is one of the most powerful companies in Dmingham, and the rainstorm cannot stop their progress. ”

The logo of Lenny Machinery is very recognizable, a large gear, with the name of Lenny Machinery printed in the middle, they choose to go to sea at this time, they will definitely hit the storm under the dark clouds in the distance, but for a large ship of this magnitude, the impact of the storm is very limited.

On the other hand, they went to the storm to help them get rid of some of their competitors with the help of this natural disaster.

The appearance of the large mechanical ship Lenny was a surprise to the boring voyage, and the people on deck had been discussing these things for some time.

The sky gradually darkened in this discussion, and after half a day of Hainan Airlines, the dark clouds on the horizon were still in the sky, and the distance seemed to be unabated.

The sun was setting and the sea was turning orange, and the faces of the people on the deck were red, and the moon could already be seen faintly in the sky.

After this point in time, the sky will get dark at a breakneck pace.

The captain came out of the cabin at this moment, tapped the butt of his cigarette on the stand on the side, shook out some of the ash inside, and then coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention.

"There is still half an hour to get to the place, according to the agreement, from the time you get off the boat, I will wait next to Moss Island for 36 hours, that is, at 12 o'clock at noon the day after tomorrow, set off for the return voyage, this time point will not be changed because of anyone, not punctual, then don't blame me for abandoning you, first remind you, it will be the rainstorm week soon, when the Moss Island will experience a minimum of 3 days of rainstorm, if you think you can bear it, then I will not stop it. ”

There are only a few days left before the rainstorm week, and the fact that the big ship of Lenny Machinery is not afraid of the storm does not mean that the ship is not afraid either, and the captain is already an adventure to go to sea before the rainstorm week, so let him go through the storm, which is absolutely impossible.

No one objected to the captain's request, and the captain had only one request, and after saying that, he returned to the cabin to take the helm, and the sailors returned to their posts and began to prepare for the docking work.

Knowing that they were about to arrive at their destination, someone got some thoughts, and the other two-person team began to move closer to Donald and Anthony.

An old man in sunglasses, a bald man with dark arms.

"The two of you went to Moss Island this time for the steel-clawed mole?"

It was the old man who spoke, and he stood in front of him with another bald man, and he dominated the squad of two.

"Aren't you? If there's anything you want to say, just say it. ”

Donald turned his head and put his sunglasses down again, the two of them chose to come over to say hello at this time, there must be a purpose.

"Cooperation, this is what I want to say to the two of you, I think you should also see the two teams over there, one is 3 people, the other is 7 people, the latter team may have novices, but since they dare to take the novices to the island, those veterans must have confidence in their own strength, as far as I know, we will not be the only one who will land on the island at the same time, there will definitely be a fight on Moss Island at that time, you 2 people, 2 of us, it is easy to suppress the number of people, it is better for us to join forces, the same manpower, I think the strength of the two is not weaker than us, if there is gain, divide equally, how about this condition？”

The old man was a little hunchbacked, and always habitually bent over and raised his head when he spoke, which was to seek to form a team.

Donald didn't respond, but glanced at Anthony, this time he was here to help, Anthony was the captain, the old man's ability to read words and emotions was not weak, Donald just had a glance, and his body turned to Anthony without a trace.

"No interest, we don't need helpers. ”

Anthony refused very simply, and the two didn't say anything, and directly turned to the team of 3 people on the other side, and the way of communication was probably still the same old.

"Are they so anxious to find a team to join, are they afraid that they won't be able to catch the steel-clawed mole or do they feel that they are not capable enough and will be robbed on the island?"

The eyes under the sunglasses swept over the two men one by one, and Donald came up with an answer, neither assumption was true.

"This kind of people, they themselves are not prepared to catch steel-clawed moles by themselves, they only do one thing, kill people and sell goods...... You can start changing your outfit, there is no lighting after landing on the island, and you have to adjust some equipment first. ”

Anthony opened his backpack and pulled out a head-mounted light, the core of which was about a finger's length, flanked by mechanical straps, and ended with cloth straps.

"I have installed the whale oil energy in advance, and after putting it on, use the gears on both sides to adjust the spacing to ensure that it fits on both sides of my forehead, and finally tie the cloth strip, the switch is on the right side, and it should be able to be touched. ”

Donald didn't actually need the night light, but he didn't refuse, and put on his searchlight as he could.

The light from the whale oil searchlight is pale blue, which does not attract the attention of the beasts at night.

The previous two did not suffer again in the team of three, but successfully joined after a brief discussion, and then those people began to look at Donald and Anthony from time to time.

"Looks like you have an idea for us......"

2+3 is 5 people, they are 2 here, and the balance of power seems to them to be obviously their advantage.

"On these islands, when you refuse to hurt someone, there are often people who look at you, and it's up to you to be prepared. ”

Anthony took two short knives out of his backpack, inserted them into the leather sheath around his waist, turned his head to look at Donald, and quickly smiled.

They both saw the cold light in each other's eyes.
