Chapter Forty-Eight: The Mysterious Sea
The level of science and technology in today's world has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, and our lives are under the surveillance of others all the time, he is not the American society, on the surface, equality, law, but secretly doing things are lawless, not only externally, but also for their own people, just like the Hollywood movie "National Tracking", when power is above the law, interests determine everything, of course, in the name of the country, not only the United States, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, This is not distinguished by skin color and race.
When the large army arranged by Blank besieged Dai Rao's manor, there was a problem, all the people were trapped in a big labyrinth, as if on a vast prairie, no matter how you walked, you couldn't walk to the villa in front, and the people on the periphery couldn't see the situation inside, the whole manor was foggy, and the most ridiculous thing was that their soldiers began to attack each other, and what the boss heard on the radio was that they had all met the bandits, well-equipped, and asked for air support, and the result was a cannibalistic battle with heavy losses, It wasn't until the boss outside noticed that something was wrong and quickly ordered everyone to stay still and stop shooting, so that greater losses were avoided.
Blank was so angry that he tried his best to investigate, and finally found Uncle Hong, found Uncle Hong's dead subordinates, and got the testimony of the dock security, Uncle Hong took people on the Panamanian freighter, and immediately ordered the helicopter to chase the freighter with the special combat team, at this time, the freighter had left the port for nearly four minutes, but it was nothing for the plane.
At this moment, Lin Xi, who was hiding in the container, did not relax, he looked at the satellite map with his mobile phone, and knew that the enemy in the manor had suffered a big loss, and he would definitely follow the clue of Uncle Hong to chase the freighter, and immediately found Tashi, and Tashi laid a stealth formation with black stone at the door of the container, in fact, this kind of formation is the most common way to deceive the enemy's eyes, when the enemy opens the container door, all he sees is a pile of waste paper and waste plastics shipped to China.
Sure enough, the helicopter landed on the deck of the freighter, and the heavily armed soldiers caught the captain out, and with a fist and kick, the captain explained Uncle Hong's hiding place, Uncle Hong's family was in another container, Uncle Hong was also a soft bone, and he didn't need to beat Lin Xi and they had already betrayed him, but when they opened Lin Xi's container, the group of soldiers was on fire, full of old cardboard box garbage, and a strong smell. In a fit of rage, a group of people drove Uncle Hong's family into a helicopter and left in a hurry.
But this time it was a fluke, Blank didn't come in person, he was busy with the aftermath, if he came in person, he wouldn't necessarily let go of the container where Lin Xi and they were hiding, the soldiers at the bottom were just for the errand, they wished they hadn't seen Lin Xi and them, it would be good if they could catch Uncle Hong back, and wait for Blank to come down and interrogate Uncle Hong, and then react, the ship had already entered the high seas and walked a long way.
The most surprising thing was the captain, who beat those soldiers with bruised faces, and finally saw Lin Xi and them like a ghost, Lin Xi asked Bao Cheng to throw a box of money to the captain, every crew member has a share, the captain naturally has nothing to say for the sake of money, anyway, those soldiers are also gone, now on the high seas, the helicopter can't fly that far, the captain only treats them as stowaways, he doesn't know how many such people he takes every year, as long as he has money, the rest is none of his business.
Lin Xi knew that things would not end so easily, as long as they recognized this freighter, then when there was a port docked in front or their warship was nearby, someone would come to intercept the ship, so Lin Xi kept using the satellite monitoring on his mobile phone to watch the situation in the vicinity for hundreds of miles to avoid a sneak attack, but fortunately, his mobile phone was fully intelligent and would automatically help him do these things.
The key thing happened five hours later, almost ten freighters drove together, no more than a thousand meters apart, because it was night, most of the crew on board had rested, the life raft at the stern was quietly put down, Lin Xi and his party slowly hung down one by one with ropes, they quietly sat on a life raft, rowed in the other direction, and waited for another cargo ship bound for the Middle East at a distance of a thousand meters, they turned on the lights and signaled, pretending to be refugees in distress, because they often met stowaways. This is not a pirate-infested Somalia, the captain also rescued them, usually they save people also to charge a benefit fee, this time no, the guests who came up were very generous, a bunch of money smashed at him, only said that it was to thank them for the cost of rescue, where is this like those poor ghost stowaways! It's like the god of wealth who fell from the sky, so the captain and crew were so good to these people that they vacated the best cabins for them to live in, and greeted them with good food and drink, Lin Xi and they finally left the enemy's tracking for the time again, after all, there were more than a dozen ships that came together at that time, and it was not so easy for Blank to find out all the ships at once, and the most unlucky thing was that Lin Xi and the captain of the Panamanian freighter they started to ride on met the US warship a day later, and intercepted it for inspection, and the captain beat him half to death, Lin Xi The news that they stole the lifeboat and escaped reached Blank's ears, Blank was so angry that there was no way to track it down, there are so many ships on the ocean, you can't see it even if it's satellite monitoring! At that time, there were more than a dozen ships passing by, and the sailing directions were inconsistent, and it was estimated that it would take a month or two to check, and at that time, Lin Xi and they had already returned to China!
At this time, Lin Xi and they had already crossed the Panama Canal on a freighter and went to Africa, although the direction was wrong, but it was good to be able to get rid of the enemy, plus the conditions on the ship were very good, good food and drink, and they could enjoy the warmth of the ocean, this kind of giant freighter was actually as stable and comfortable as that kind of high-end cruise ship, so Lin Xi and they had a comfortable life for two days, Qi Xin's wound was basically completely healed, and everything was safe and smooth!
This night, the wind is calm, the moon is bright, Captain Fran invites everyone to the bow of the boat to barbecue and drink, this is the most pleasant thing to sail on the sea, the crew who does not work plus Xiao Wu them, dozens of people in the bow singing, dancing and drinking, so unhappy! At this moment, a dark cloud slowly covered the moonlight, the sky gradually darkened, and a black fog rose on the sea.
Under the slight moonlight, an ancient ship opened out of the black fog, it was indeed ancient, it was the kind of sailboat made of wood, it should be at least a few hundred years old, I saw the sailboat slowly moving towards the freighter, strangely there was not a ghost on the ship, a boat that could walk on its own!
"Ghost ship! Ghost Ship! "Old Captain Fran had been walking the sea for many years and recognized the ship.
Except for Lin Xi and them, the rest of the crew were a little flustered, seeing the ghost ship crashing towards the freighter, they hurriedly ran into the cabin
yelled and shouted for the helmsman to turn the rudder. It was too late, the captain's eyes closed, but there was no sound of collision he imagined, he opened his eyes and saw that he was half frightened to death, only to see the ghost ship pass directly through the middle of their freighter, as if their freighter did not exist, and then Fran and Lin Xi saw the unforgettable scene of their life, they were in the ghost ship, the ghost ship passed over them, they saw the crew who died tragically in the cabin for a while, and then saw them having a drinking party on the ship, one of them would live, and the other would die, and wait until the ship had all crossed over, As if they had a nightmare, they all looked at the ghost ship in the distance, and the ship really disappeared like a ghost in the fog.
"Fran, Fran..." Lin Xi pushed Fran, and Fran came back to his senses for a long time.
"This is the famous ghost ship, the Maria, which will appear every few decades, and the ship it encounters will float to a devil's island, and it can't find its way, and it can't come back, and only one person has drifted back in the past few hundred years, and he himself can't tell where he went, who he met, and then he went crazy..."
"And who is this man? Didn't leave a single useful clue? Lin Xi asked.
"This man is my father, and he saved his life that time, but unfortunately he is insane, but he often sits alone, and when he sits down, he reads the ghost ship, Maria," said Fran, sighing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was your father, so what are we going to do now?" Lin Xi asked.
"It doesn't matter, anyone who has seen the Maria will be drifted to that mysterious Devil's Island, I have been sailing at sea for more than thirty years, just to see this Maria, I want to know what happened to my father and what became like that!" The captain said firmly.
"Good! Anyway, it's all on a boat, let's go with you, and I'm curious about what's on this island? Lin Xi said.
So everyone returned to the cockpit, and the crew had regained their composure, all waiting for the captain's orders.
"Where are we now?" Fran asked.
"The instrument is out of order, Captain, we can't locate it!" The first mate reported.
Lin Xi hurriedly took out his mobile phone to see, his super mobile phone actually had no signal, could not be operated, and looked at the equipment on the dashboard, satellite navigation, communication, all of them failed, there was no signal, only the mechanical operation of the equipment could still be used, and the boat could be controlled, but I didn't know where to go, looking out of the window, the black fog was rising, the sky was dark, there was not a single star to refer to, I could only wait at the moment, and see if I could find something at dawn.
Fortunately, for the rest of the time, although everyone stuck to their posts and prepared weapons, nothing strange happened, but the ship went down the river, and I didn't know where to go?
Finally dawned, everyone who didn't sleep all night hurriedly looked out of the window, the black fog dissipated, there was a beautiful round island in front of it, there were trees on it, by the mountains and rivers, like a fairyland on earth, with the soft sunshine, the blue water was sparkling, crystal clear, all kinds of fish swam freely in the water, everyone was fascinated by the scenery in front of them, is this the legendary fairy island.
The freighter was too huge to get to the shore, so it could only put down the rubber boats, there were only two rubber boats on board, Lin Xi asked Fran to arrange for the crew to stick to their posts, and they landed on the island with Fran to see why such a beautiful island would be called Devil's Island.
Lin Xi rowed out a few hundred meters in their kayak, and they understood the origin of Devil's Island, because they seemed to have passed through a layer of light curtain, and the light curtain was a hell on earth, and the beautiful scenery in front of them was all the human beauty simulated by the light curtain, an illusory illusion, deceiving people into breaking into this light curtain, when you entered this light curtain, the scene changed greatly, but you could no longer retreat, you couldn't find the way you came, it was equivalent to entering another space. Lin Xi and they saw the barrenness everywhere, all kinds of broken ships floating everywhere, all empty ghost ships, the sky was blood-red, the earth was also blood-red, and the most important thing was that the island was full of zombies walking all over the ground, and the Taoist priests of Huaguo called zombies, that is, creatures that had no consciousness but could attack people and feed on flesh and blood.
"Quick! Get back! Fran shouted.
"I can't go back, this is a huge new space, when we come in, the space changes, and the way back is gone..."Lin Xi said.
"Oops! We have come to the realm of the demons, but the demons dissipated in the starry sky after losing the battle with the immortals last time, how could they appear in the yang realm? Tashi is a well-informed old man, he explained to his family.
"Demons?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"There are two major races in the universe with the greatest power, the immortal race and the demon race, fighting with each other for countless billions of years, and then the immortal race produced a group of powerful characters, and the demon race was beaten to nowhere to hide, scattered to all parts of the universe, we have never found the figure of the demon in the yang world, here should be the remnants of the demon clan fell into a space created by the yang world, because it is independent of the yang world, it has not been discovered!" Tashi said.
"Then we're already in, how can we get out?" Xiao Wu said anxiously, the little spirit beast also felt uneasy at this moment, and got out of Xiao Wu's arms and screamed.
"This island is the spaceship of the demons, the energy on the spaceship changes the surrounding magnetic field and space, we can only control it if we enter the center of the spaceship, and if we control it, we will have a way to get out!" Tashi said lightly.
"Then let's get ready to go to the island! There is no other way, once it comes, it will be safe! Lin Xi said calmly.
"It's not as difficult as imagined, the spirit beast in Xiao Wu's hand was raised by the immortal clan to find the demon clan before, it will bring us to the center of the demon clan, Xiao Wu, you go to the front, and the others follow!" Tashi said.
"Okay, Grandpa Tashi!" Xiao Wu is ready to go ashore.
"Don't worry, you see so many zombies on the shore, we have to waste our strength with them when we go ashore now, think of a way first!" Lin Xi said.
"It's too late! Everyone, come ashore..."Bao Cheng pointed anxiously to the water.
Everyone looked at it, it may be that the smell of their people attracted the monsters in the water, only to see that the black pressure pressed a shadow in the water towards their rubber boat swam quickly, Lin Xi saw that something was wrong, and quickly called Bao Cheng and Xiao Wu, and unintentionally, the old Song and their ordinary people still went to the shore first, only to see Lin Xi and a few people to move their kung fu, put the old Song like a sandbag, held it up and sent it to the shore, Lao Song They rolled when they landed, and then picked up their weapons to establish a defensive position, and then Lin Xi jumped to the shore lightly.
After a while, the rubber boat disappeared, and a group of small fish with steel teeth were eaten cleanly, and the zombies on the shore smelled the smell of life, which was their delicacy! They all gathered around them, first dozens, then hundreds, tightly surrounded, waiting to eat them.
Bang! ... Lao Song and they fired one after another, and the bullets hit these zombies like they were hitting broken leather, making a popping sound, but this group of guys who didn't feel it, unless you burst its head, it couldn't stop them from advancing, Lao Song They shot their heads with guns, but unfortunately the other party had a large number of people, and they couldn't hit it at all, and they were about to come to them.
Rumble! Lin Xi took out the fairy crystal, lit a fireball in his palm, and the violent light shone towards the zombies, this is his method when dealing with the dark creature Jack, the difference is that that this time it produced a strong light, this time it produced the temperature, the air was filled with the smell of burnt barbecue, a bunch of zombies were burned into ashes in front of Lin Xi, everyone took the opportunity to kill the bloody road, rushed out of the zombie encirclement, and ran to the forest behind.
