Chapter 14: Strawberry Flavor
Now in the 21st century, the theme of the world today is counter-terrorism and peace, and with the development of navies and the increasingly tough attitude against piracy, piracy today is not as glamorous as it was in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The Blue Shark Pirate Regiment, like most pirate forces, has become more and more difficult to hold on to under the situation where escort formations of various countries have stepped up their efforts to escort merchant ships, and it has been difficult to hold on until now, and the whole team has been crumbling.
Fortunately, the blue shark inadvertently hijacked a small yacht and captured Vane, the son of the patriarch of the British Hill family.
The Hill family is one of the oldest families in the UK, and its family name covers a wide range of industries, such as the National Bank of England and the United Kingdom, of which the Hill family owns 40% of the shares, and its influence in the United Kingdom and China can be seen, and it is said that one-tenth of the wealth of the United Kingdom and China is in the hands of the Hill family.
According to the negotiation between the two parties, the Hill family will pay 100 million US dollars to redeem Vane, but a month has passed, and the Hill family's promise has not been fulfilled, and Vane is like abandoned by them, and no one cares.
"Nope!"
Brad shook his head: "I just got the news that there has been a change within the Hill family, and the current authorities do not approve of the redemption of Vane. ”
Hearing this news, Duke was suddenly full of surprise, obviously a little unable to accept it, this news is too sudden, it is 100 million US dollars, and if you say no, it will be gone.
"How much money do we have now?"
Slumped in his chair, Duke asked feebly, knowing full well that Blue Shark didn't have much money left.
"We have money for a month at most, and we still owe Blake three million in arms!"
Brad lowered his head and replied helplessly, the armed forces of various countries in the world are hitting them more and more severely, except for Venn and them, Blue Shark has not succeeded in any business for more than three months.
"Eh, let's go! It's okay to disperse! ”
Closing his eyes, Duke waved his hand weakly, knowing in his heart what would happen to the blue shark if he didn't have financial resources.
"What about those kids from the Hill family?"
Listening to Duke's words, Brad smiled bitterly, he knew that the blue shark was about to disintegrate, and it was irretrievable, although he had been in the blue shark for more than ten years, and he already had feelings for the blue shark, but he was helpless.
Duke suddenly opened his eyes and snorted coldly: "Of course it's killed!" We are pirates, we have to follow the rules of pirates, and if no one comes to ransom the ticket, we must tear it up! ”
Brad nodded and exited the room, he had been partnered with Duke for so many years, and naturally knew what to do.
When Needham and the others returned, Brad would let them run and kill all of Vane.
But Brad didn't know that Jiang Lin was the only one left on the island now.
At this time, Jiang Lin was building a temporary shelter, he had already built a tent-like skeleton around the fire pit, with wooden sticks and vines, and now he was looking around for some wide leaves, and put them on the skeleton with vines, this work lasted Jiang Lin for two hours, the skeleton was covered by layers of leaves, leaving only a small exit.
After the tent is made, of course, it is to make a bed, almost one-third of a person's life is spent in bed, and now Jiang Lin is alone on the island, lonely and worry-free, and it is even more boring to be idle if he is not looking for things to do, after all, he doesn't know how long he will stay here, so Jiang Lin decided to make a slightly more comfortable bed.
Standing inside the tent, a flat piece of land was cleared, and then some wooden sticks of similar size were cut into about a meter and spread horizontally on the ground, and the outline of a single bed was revealed.
After that, Jiang Lin used soil to fill in the gullies between the wooden sticks, collected a large number of dry and fluffy leaves everywhere, spread them on the bed, and then carried the two large bags of slippers back to the tent, cut off the uppers, spread the bottom plate on the leaves, and finally disassembled the large pocket containing the slippers into two pieces of plastic sheeting, and spread them on the slippers smoothly, and a relatively soft and comfortable bed was made.
Lying down and giving it a try, Jiang Lin nodded with satisfaction, it was much more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.
After all this, it was already dusk, Jiang Lin moved the collected guns and ammunition back to the tent and put them away, added a fire, and quietly waited for the night to fall.
"Tick!" "Tick!"
As the sky darkens, the rain drops and falls on the leaves, making a crisp sound like a concerto with an inscrutable melody.
Jiang Lin, who was recuperating at the end of the closing, opened his eyes excitedly, rushed out of the tent, and almost danced in the open space, and his whole body was drenched at will, isn't the rain fresh water? Now he's going to find a way to collect the rainwater.
However, he didn't have any utensils in his hand that could be used to hold water, but this was not difficult for Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin quickly found a tree with the thickness of an arm, first used a tactical straight knife to make a vertical cut on the tree, and then cut it horizontally according to twenty centimeters, completely removed a section of bark, and repeatedly removed five or six sections.
Jiang Lin returned to the tent with the bark, polished the bark as smooth as possible, and then took out the condom collected from the pirates, and carefully put the bark into it, because it is a rubber product, the condom is contractile, and at this time the bark plays a supporting role, although the toughness of the condom is far more than that, but for the sake of safety, the bark the size of an arm is suitable.
Jiang Lin then put a few sections of bark into a condom, and then fixed the processed bark under the tent, and the rain dripped down the leaves on the tent into the bark.
The rain was not heavy, and it would take some time to fill the five or six bark tubes with rainwater, Jiang Lin simply returned to the tent and waited, took off his wet clothes and pants and put them on the fire to roast, Jiang Lin lay back on the bed, covered the leaves and fell asleep deeply.
Early the next morning, Jiang Lin woke up and looked at the time, it was exactly six o'clock, this was the time he had developed in the army, and he had been out of the army for a while, but these habits had not changed.
Dressed in clothes that had already been scorched and dried, stretching out, the dryness coming from his throat reminded Jiang Lin of the rain collected last night.
Coming to the back of the tent and looking at the six barks filled with water, Jiang Lin nodded with satisfaction.
Pick up one of them and drink a little: "Yes!" Not bad, still strawberry flavored ......"
"Well, this one is not bad, orange-flavored ......"
……
After retrieving the bark filled with water and placing it in the tent, Jiang Lin went down the mountain to the beach, and now he had to solve the breakfast problem.
Just got an oyster, Jiang Lin didn't have time to raise his head to eat it, he saw that his face changed greatly, he hurriedly threw away the oyster, turned around and trotted a few steps, quickly climbed the cliff, and ran towards the woods.
