Chapter 341: Forrest Gump!
~~~~~~~~~
Bidding farewell to the Japanese expedition ship, Zhou Quanbei and his party turned north and continued to search in the nearby waters. ββι ββPointββSmallββ said,
However, the good weather that did not last for a few days became bad again, and the strong wind mixed with the heavy snow, made people's mood unbearable.
I wandered around the neighborhood for two more days, but unfortunately, I still found nothing.
Jer~Mason was almost desperate, "Zhou~, I'm wondering if I'm going to find a place to kill myself." If this continues, I'm afraid there is only one way. β
Zhou Quanbei also knows that Jer~Mason is under great pressure now, if he can't find this treasure, or if he can't make up for the deficit of the family he embezzled before, he may really become a homeless.
However, after Zhou Quanbei's understanding of Jer~Mason these days, this guy, although he has a lot of temperament, is not useless, to a large extent, Zhou Quanbei doesn't mind, 'Put a long line and catch big fish.' β
"Jere, things aren't as bad as you think, are they? Don't forget, you and me, we're friends, right? Zhou Quanbei looked at him with a smile.
How could Jer~Mason not understand Zhou Quanbei's intentions, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Zhou, you, you mean, you will help me, right?" β
Zhou Quanbei smiled, "Of course." I'm a Zhou person, and I would never see my friends die without saving them. β
Jer~Mason couldn't help but be overjoyed.
After all, he is a son of a wealthy family, as long as he can get through the difficulties at this time, he has great confidence that he will make a comeback and make a comeback.
Seeing Jer~Mason cheer up again, Zhou Quanbei and Gong Xue glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, everything was in plain sight.
In the evening of that day, the expedition ship had sailed more than 200 kilometers to the north, and it was about 300 kilometers away from the Japanese expedition ship.
Suddenly, a huge iceberg appeared in front of me.
Unlike the previous mobile icebergs, this iceberg, as if it were a mountain on land, stands firmly on the surface of the sea, making people wonder if its roots have been rooted in the depths of the sea.
Already with their previous experience, the crowd did not dare to approach, but just anchored in the distance, ready to send someone over to investigate.
At this time, the observer on the top shouted: "Boss, at the foot of the iceberg, there seems to be a ship flying the flag of the United States." β
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised and happy, could it be that this is where the treasure ship is located, and the people of the United States have already discovered it?
Jer~Mason hurriedly sent people to form an expedition team of more than a dozen people to investigate the situation at the front.
But the expedition members soon returned, but their faces were full of horror, "Boss, Mr. Zhou, that mission ship of the United States was stuck in the iceberg and was almost completely frozen by the iceberg. At least, they've been stuck here for half a month. β
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and Zhou Quanbei hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?" Are there any living people in there? β
The expedition member hurriedly said, "I'm not sure either. However, the situation ahead is dangerous. We didn't dare to go all the way. β
Jer~Mason also panicked, "Zhou~, what should we do?" β
Zhou Quanbei frowned and lit a cigarette.
No wonder this iceberg is firmly stuck on the water, it turns out that there is this American exploration ship as a support underneath.
However, according to the advanced equipment of the Chinese people, how could this happen?
After thinking about it carefully, Zhou Quanbei already made a decision in his heart.
Since I have encountered it, if I don't save it when I see death, I'm afraid it won't be humane, not to mention, what about the bigwigs of Midi?
Thinking about it, Zhou Quanbei immediately asked Jer~Mason to send information to the Japanese expedition ship and asked them to rush over to support.
On their side, they formed an expedition of the same scale as before, going to the place of the incident to investigate the situation.
Last time, it was a bit of a fluke to escape the attack of the giant octopus.
This time, Zhou Quanbei did not dare to be careless, and ordered the team members to smash down several steel nails with the thickness of the baby's arm near their own expedition ship, as support points, and connected them with ropes, and every few tens of meters, they were connected in the same way, until they reached the nearby iceberg.
In this way, even if something happens, everyone has room to retreat.
Soon, an expedition of 80 people arrived near the iceberg.
Zhou Quanbei also saw the current situation of this American expedition ship.
This ship is larger than Zhou Quanbei and the Japanese ships, just looking at the scale and equipment, it is undoubtedly much more advanced than these two ships, but unfortunately, at this time, more than half of it is firmly stuck at the bottom of the iceberg, almost connected with the iceberg.
Zhou Quanbei's brows couldn't help frowning, and Uncle Klaas hurriedly explained: "Boss, Mr. Zhou, this ship may not have been stuck here for a long time, if the conditions inside allow, maybe the people inside may still have a chance to survive." β
Zhou Quanbei nodded, and asked the team members to continue to concoct the rope until they connected the rope to the hull on the iceberg, and then sent someone to the boat to investigate.
Unfortunately, most of the hull has been frozen by icebergs, and if you want to enter the cabin, you may have to chisel through the icebergs.
Fortunately, the expedition team was very well equipped, and Jer~Mason sent someone back to the ship to bring a diesel generator, connected the wires, and ordered several tall and strong team members to start cutting the ice and prepare to open the entrance to the cabin.
It's just that this project is quite complicated, and I'm afraid that in a short period of time, it will not be possible to enter it at all.
Zhou Quanbei ordered the expedition members to carefully reconnoiter around and make sure that this iceberg was very reliable, so he simply let everyone set up camp here.
Two days later, the work finally progressed, and the team chiseled through the hatch and into the interior.
There were really people alive inside, but unfortunately, there were not many people, only seven or eight people, almost all of them were injured and extremely weak.
When the team rescued them, they couldn't help but cry with joy.
Zhou Quanbei hurriedly ordered the team doctor to bandage their wounds and conduct a full-body examination.
Fortunately, although they were stuck in the cabin, due to the advanced equipment and sufficient food, although there was no oxygen, they could continue their lives with oxygen cylinders, but the cold was simply impossible to resist.
If Zhou Quanbei and these people come a few days later, I'm afraid they will really be turned into ice sculptures.
What made Zhou Quanbei happy was that there was a young man of about twenty-four or five and obese stature, called Wilson ~ Pierponte.
His name may not be unusual, but his great-grandfather is well-known, that is~~ the most famous financial giant in the United States, trust, chaebol, JP Morgan.
It wasn't until Wilson rested for a day and relieved himself that Zhou Quanbei and his party learned what had happened.
has a striking identity with Jerle ~ Mason, Wilson, who was originally a gentleman, although he was born with endless money and endless beauties, but unfortunately, perhaps with the blood of his ancestors, he is unwilling to live like this, and has always wanted to prove himself.
He has always asked his friends to call him 'Forrest Gump', which is Tom ~ Hanks's classic, 'Forrest Gump'. β
It's a pity that this guy has a congenital defect, his heart is not good, and the accumulation of drugs for many years has made him obese, but after learning the news of this treasure, he vowed to prove himself, so he contributed to this expedition and came to this sea area.
They were very lucky, and they really found the legendary Spanish treasure ship, but unfortunately, the treasure ship was stuck in the iceberg, although his ships were all kinds of high-paid brick families, and the operation methods were very advanced.
But perhaps their luck was too bad, and in the middle of the operation, a great disaster occurred when they were about to approach the treasure ship.
The iceberg was misplaced and toppled, the wind and snow covered the sky, and their big ship was also hit by an unknown iceberg and stuck in the gap, killing and wounding.
If it weren't for these bodyguards and relatives desperately protecting him and warming him with his own body temperature, I'm afraid that this little fat man would have returned to his place.
After hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help but feel palpitations.
Zhou Quanbei smiled: "Forrest Gump, your luck is really good." It's God's eyes, hahaha. β
Forrest Gump also understood at this time, Zhou Quanbei and Jer~Mason were in a similar situation to him, and he couldn't help but feel like a confidant, "Zhou, Jer, thank you." If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't dare to think about the consequences. β
Jer~Mason said: "Forrest Gump, man, you mean that the treasure ship is now in this iceberg." β
Forrest Gump nodded, "Yes." However, it is very difficult to dig him out. β
Jer~Mason laughed wildly, "Haha, I'm not afraid of difficulty, I just need to be sure that the treasure is inside." β
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but laugh, but Forrest Gump shook his head with a smile. If you don't experience it yourself, you'll never know how terrible the disaster is.
After a few days of rest, Forrest Gump had recovered a lot from his injuries, and at this time, the Japanese expedition ship arrived, and after a brief consultation, the three parties decided to jointly excavate the treasure.
On the Japanese ship, there are about more than 120 team members, plus Zhou Quanbei and Jer~Mason, there are more than 130 people, and the remaining few people around Forrest Gump are also a middle and high master, and the three parties converge, and the energy is unprecedentedly strong.
However, this iceberg is extraordinary after all, and the equipment and supplies on both ships can last for a long time.
After careful consideration, all three parties decided to proceed with the mining in the safest way possible.
Jer~Mason is like taking aphrodisiac ~ medicine, and he can't find North in excitement, but he secretly complains to Zhou Quanbei, they can do it, why let these little devils get a piece of the pie.
Zhou Quanbei couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
The Japanese, on the other hand, have made concessions on the proportion of their share, taking advantage of their own disadvantages.
Forrest Gump, take 3 percent, although they were the first to find out, but he no longer has too many manpower, and his strength has already been greatly reduced.
On the Japanese side, it is also 3 percent, while Zhou Quanbei and Jer~Mason are 4 percent.
This is basically fair.
However, people's ** is like this, there is never an end.
Zhou Quanbei didn't bother to explain to him, if Jer~Mason didn't even have this bit of energy, I am afraid it would be difficult to have a chance to cooperate in the future.
Jer~Mason obviously realized this, and hurriedly apologized to Zhou Quanbei secretly and admitted his mistake.
Although Zhou Quanbei did not have many people at this time, his influence was undoubted.
It's just that Zhou Quanbei doesn't have much interest in the treasure itself, but he is interested in Forrest Gump, a little fat man.
Although the Morgan family is no longer as glorious as it used to be, its influence in Midi is still absolutely not to be underestimated.
If he can have in-depth exchanges with Forrest Gump, there is no doubt that Zhou Quanbei will get more political capital that he wants most.
