Chapter 1: The Phantom of the Blue Sea

Hottent Bay, Republic of Namibia, South-West Africa.

A lone offshore drilling rig towers over the blue waves. It was noon, the sun was shining, the waves were rippling, and the air was filled with the salty and lazy taste of the sea. The 53 members of the 12th Drilling Group of the African Drilling Team of South Korea's Global Mining Corporation have been stationed here for almost a year. The novelty, excitement and even the impulse and idea of yearning for the sea and the mysterious Africa have long been left behind by the drilling crew, and the only thought in the minds of these team members is to dig up enough rough diamonds as soon as possible, get the dividends promised by the company, and return to the familiar and warm South Korea.

Today's 12:30 is not only the time for the drilling team to have lunch, but also the time when the supply ship arrives once a week. The supply vessel departs every Wednesday from the port of Lydritz in Namibia and takes six hours to reach the offshore drilling platform. The supply ship not only brought fresh food and water to the drill crew, but also sent letters and parcels from South Korea, and sometimes even one or two family members who had traveled thousands of miles from South Korea to Africa to visit their families. Therefore, every time a supply ship arrives, it is no less than a festival for the drilling platform standing alone in this vast sea. Therefore, every time this day, the drilling team will put down their work and have a carnival.

"Hey, boss, why haven't you gone to dinner yet? The Hope is coming! A young Asian said to the person in charge sitting in the command room of the platform. Hope is the nickname of the team members for the supply ship, and I have to say that this nickname is very vivid.

"Go ahead! Inform all the staff to hurry up and eat. After lunch, all the personnel except for the duty gathered on the deck to carry supplies. The person in charge smoked the cigarette in his hand fiercely, threw it on the ground and stepped on it with his shoes, "I won't go, I, a lonely old man, won't go with you young people to grab this opportunity." Remember, the warehouse must be staffed with enough staff on duty, understand? ”

β€œyes-sir!” The young man saluted the person in charge, and then walked out of the command room humming a ditty.

At this time, in the cabin of the supply ship not far from the drilling platform, three underwater multi-person thrusters slowly sank into the sea and quickly moved towards the drilling platform.

The white hull of the supply ship had already appeared on the sea level, and the crew members who had been waiting on the deck began to cheer and wait expectantly for the Hope to approach. Because on that ship, there was not only food and fresh water for them for the coming week, but also news of their loved ones brought from their homeland.

The underwater multi-person thruster slowly stopped under the drilling platform, and six frogmen wearing black finsuits, submachine guns, and weapons emerged from the thrusters, slowly rising upwards in the light on the water.

The person in charge was alone in the command room watching the supply ships that were getting closer and closer. Although he knew that there were no letters or packages of his own on that ship, the person in charge couldn't help but smile when he looked at the expectant eyes of the team members. However, it didn't take long for the smile on his face to freeze, and then his body shook, and he immediately grabbed the binoculars from the table and looked at the supply ship.

"No, no, this is not a supply ship. Adjutant, sound the alarm immediately, we're in trouble! After the person in charge saw the coming ship, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"The adjutant still doesn't pull the alarm?" The person in charge screamed nervously as he watched the approaching ship. But no one in the empty command room answered him. The person in charge put down the binoculars and turned his head to see that he was the only one in the originally busy command room, and those who were in charge of the ** control equipment were partying on the deck at this time.

β€œ**!” The person in charge gritted his teeth, rushed to the console with an arrow, opened the glass cover of a red button, and slammed it down with his fist. A heart-rending siren sounded over the platform.

The crew members who were happily waiting for the Hope on the deck all showed incredible expressions when they heard the siren. What's going on? In addition to the supply ships, there are only a few seabirds flying in this vast sea, where is the alarm? Some of the team members also looked in the direction of the command room. The person in charge opened the window of the command room and shouted to the stupid people on the deck: "The supply ship is deceiving, everyone get ready for battle"

Before the person in charge could finish his words, his pupils began to contract. Because he was looking down from above, he noticed several black figures suddenly appearing in the blue water below the deck.

"Hide quickly," the person in charge shouted anxiously. However, it was all in vain. While everyone was stunned, six black heads suddenly appeared on the edge of the deck, followed by black bodies, and then more than 10 American-made grenades were thrown from their hands and rolled towards the crowd on the deck.

GollumWhen the iron bumps rolled into the crowd, and before many people could realize what it was, the powerful blasting force had already torn them to shreds. For a time, the deck was full of gunsmoke and blood, and the few team members who were not killed on the spot were also covering their feet, hands, and heads and howling incessantly.

"go.go" Seeing that the grenade explosion had taken effect, the man in black waved his hand while issuing orders to the man in black. So, the six men in black climbed onto the deck lightly, removed the submachine gun from their backs, and entered the platform with their waists bent.

The person in charge shouted into the microphone as if he was going crazy, "Attention, we have been attacked. All those on duty are in combat mode, this is not a drill! Immediately after that, he ran to the ultra-shortwave radio station in the command room, entered an access code, and immediately shouted into the radio after the radio gave a command: "Headquarters, headquarters, this is Atlantic 1." We have been attacked by unknown gangsters, and we need to immediately support the headquarters, headquarters"

After completing these necessary procedures, the person in charge took out an M16 from the iron cabinet on the side, loaded the magazine, hid behind the door and aimed at the only door in the command room, waiting for the arrival of the group of black-clothed people.

The constant sound of gunfire and cries for help from inside the platform made the person in charge creep, and he didn't think that his amateur army could withstand the attack of these gangsters. Sure enough, in less than 20 minutes, there was no sound inside the platform. The person in charge stretched his sweaty palms on his clothes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and quietly waited for the arrival of death.

While the person in charge was staring intently at the door, two black-clothed men with ropes tied to their bodies broke in through the window, and then a heel bucket flipped in front of the person in charge. Before the person in charge could move the muzzle, a dagger appeared in front of his neck.

"Don't move," the man in black spoke in slurred English, slowly unloading the M16 from the person in charge.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? The person in charge knew that his life would be difficult to save this time, but he calmed down. Unfortunately, the two men in black ignored him.

After a while, the rest of the men in black also came to the command room with guns and a few team members. A man in black who looked like a leader observed the situation around him, and after no nonsense, he directly aimed his pistol at the person in charge.

β€œthe,code”

"Password? What do you want passwords for? This is the land of the Korean **, and your current behavior is a terrorist attack."

The man in black who took the lead couldn't help laughing when he heard this. As soon as he pulled off the mask on his head, a European and American man in his 40s with a scarred face appeared in front of the person in charge.

"I'm a terrorist, do you have an opinion?" The man in black who took the lead put his mouth in front of the person in charge and said lightly, "And I can also tell you that the purpose of our visit this time is for the hundreds of tons of rough diamonds in your warehouse."

"What? Rough stones? How do you know" Seeing so much nonsense from the person in charge, the man in black who took the lead shot at his ** pointed down.

"I'm impatient," the man in black blew the muzzle of the Desert Eagle in his hand, "the.code"

"No way. These rough stones are the assets of Dahan **, and I have no right to hand over the password" Although the person in charge was sweating in pain at this time, he still gritted his teeth and refused.

"Goodman" the man in black smiled grimly, "Then let's compare and see if it's your hard mouth or your hard bones, come on!" ”

A man in black who was more than 2 meters tall and looked like a bear walked out and dragged the person in charge out despite the struggles of the person in charge. In less than 10 minutes, the boulder with his hands covered in blood returned to the command room and nodded to the man in black who was in charge.

The man in black in the lead got up from his chair with a smile on his face, made a goodbye gesture to the team members who were shivering in the corner, and prepared to shoot the other men in black and kill them. But as his eyes swept over the wall to the side, his eyes widened as a picture posted on the wall made his eyes widen.

With a, the man in black tore off the picture and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully. The picture is actually very simple, a bust of a man and a woman, plus some exaggerated title fonts. It's just that the words are all in Korean, and it's obvious that this Europeans and Americans can't understand it. The man in black waved his hand at his companion, and one of them immediately came to him with one of his teammates.

"Can you do me a favor?" The man in black who took the lead smiled and said to the team member who couldn't stop shaking.

The team members were so frightened that they couldn't speak, so they could only keep nodding their heads.

"Can you tell me, then who this man is?" The man in black said, pointing to the man in the picture.

"I don't know," the team member said tremblingly, "I really don't know!" ”

"Don't know?" The man in black frowned, looking on the verge of anger. He then pointed his finger at the woman in the picture, "What about her?" You don't know either? ”

"No," the team members trembled with fear.

"Still don't know?" The man in black pointed his pistol at the team's forehead.

"No, I know. She's a female star in Korea."

"Female stars? Is she famous? The man in black was stunned for a moment, "Then what does this man do?" ”

"Famous, very famous. As for this man, I don't know, but what this magazine says about this man is the boyfriend of this female star, and what I said is true."

When the man in black heard this, he finally smiled. He put the picture in front of the team's eyes and asked, "Do you like her very much?" ”

"Huh?" The team member was stopped by the strange question, but he nodded quickly.

"That's good! I'll let you die in front of her eyes, I hope you can see her again when you go to hell haha! With that, the man in black pulled the trigger.

After dealing with the team members, the man in black who took the lead said to the other men in black, "Move fast. We only had 4 hours to get all the rough onto the ship. As for everyone else, they will be killed! ”

After saying that, he stared at the bloodstained picture on the ground again, and muttered, "I have finally found you, my old friend!" ”

Four hours later, when Namibia's coast guard arrived at the rig, there was not a single living creature inside. A gust of sea breeze blew into the command room, blowing the picture on the ground. The exaggerated caption on the picture reads in Korean: "Suzy's mysterious boyfriend x appears!" (To be continued.) )
