237 Wolverine 08 (Island)
Day 2, noon.
The transport ship arrived near the island of Incabo.
Located about 300 nautical miles off the west coast of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, Inca Island has a pleasant climate with sunny weather for most of the year, with an average temperature of over 15°C throughout the year. A staggering number of great white sharks mate here every autumn from August to October, and the Inca is at its busiest, with divers from all over the world coming here to try their hand at getting up close and personal with great white sharks.
Since the transport ship is a warship and cannot enter the port directly, Major Stryker arranges for Rorschach and Wolverine to land on the island first to find out the news.
Rorschach and Wolverine drove the speedboat to the port town at the northern tip of the Incabo Island, and after successfully entering the customs, they booked two rooms at the hotel in the port town.
On the desk in the guest room, Rorschach saw a newspaper prepared by the inn, flipped through it, and the news of a murder caught his attention.
In the port town, a man brutally kills his wife at home and then shoots himself. When the medical examiner performed an autopsy on the man's body, he found a large number of pieces of flesh in his stomach, which were identified as a baby girl less than two years old, and through DNA comparison, it was finally confirmed that it was the couple's child.
Killing his wife and eating children, I didn't expect such a vicious thing to happen in this place. Rorschach shook his head and placed the newspaper back on the table.
Major Stryker thinks that the clue to the vanished country "Atlantis" can be found here, Rorschach does not know his true purpose, but according to the plot in the movie, it can probably be guessed that he should be to create a "super weapon", if "Atlantis" really exists, its technology or related personnel will become the basis for creating a "super weapon", just like the "extraterrestrial meteorite" found, and then synthesize the indestructible "Edelman alloy".
Is it really possible to find clues to "Atlantis" here? Rorschach was skeptical, and based on Stryker's recognition of the seafarer's necklace pendant, Rorschach felt he should know something else.
After looking at the time, Rorschach walked out of the guest room and left the hotel with Wolverine Logan and began to investigate.
Outside the hotel is one of the busiest streets in the port town, lined with stalls, where small traders and hawkers sell local produce to travelers.
Rorschach and Wolverine walked the gravel streets, chatting and observing the situation.
"How's Victor?" Rorschach asked.
"Locked up by Stryker." Wolverine shrugged, "That's fine, it can keep him calm and calm." ”
"Hmm." Rorschach nodded and asked casually, "Do you think the 'Atlantis' that the Major said is true?" ”
"I don't know." Wolverine looked around and whispered, "But I've heard similar legends, and it is said that there are three hidden realms in this world that are not known to ordinary people, and one of them is Atlantis at the bottom of the sea. ”
"And where are the other two?"
"I heard that one is in Africa and the other is on the highest peak in the world, but no one has actually seen it."
"That's ......" Rorschach nodded, guessing in his heart that the other two hidden realms that Wolverine was talking about should be "Wakanda" and "Alanti".
The port town is not big, and they quickly turned around, and found no clues related to the sacrifice of the sea god, but there is a Catholic church in the town.
Rorschach and Wolverine return to the street where the vendors gather, wanting to inquire about the vendors.
Suddenly, a car horn sounded, and a gray military truck drove into the narrow street, filled with men dressed as soldiers, and the small traders saw the truck approaching and got out of the way, for fear of blocking the truck's way.
The whistle continued, but the truck was still stuck at the intersection, and an old car with a boiled pot was lying across the middle of the street, blocking the direction of the truck.
An officer-like guy jumped out of the truck, pointed at the driver who was repairing the car, and yelled at the truck's soldiers.
The soldiers jumped out of the truck and began to savagely push the sedan away, overturning the stalls to make room for the sedan in order to move the car.
An elderly woman was in front of a fruit stand with her arms outstretched, and the soldiers, thinking she was in the way, pushed her to the ground, then kicked the fruit stand and stomped the fruit that had fallen to her feet.
Rorschach frowned as he watched their bad behavior.
"These bastards!" Wolverine scolded indignantly.
"It seems that there is no normal government here."
"What do you mean?" Wolverine asked, puzzled.
"Look at the behavior of those soldiers."
Rorschach pointed to the soldiers who were insulting the vendors, "It's not something that is allowed by the normal government, it's more like a gang." ”
"You're saying it's run by gangsters."
"Quite possibly." Rorschach shrugged, "After all, this place also belongs to Mexico, so it's not unusual for anything to happen." ”
Suddenly, a miserable cry was heard, and they found that the soldiers had begun to beat people, as if because they had pushed down the old woman and made the other vendors unbearable, which turned into a physical altercation.
For a moment, there was chaos around the truck, and the vendors and soldiers scuffled with each other.
There were many traders, but there were few soldiers, and gradually the soldiers began to be knocked down continuously, and the officer, seeing that the situation was not good, drew his pistol and pointed it at the trader.
Under the threat of pistols, the vendors suddenly lost their courage and hurriedly dispersed.
Seeing this, the officer decided to make an example of the monkeys, and he sent soldiers to arrest the old woman who had caused the conflict, in order to teach the traders a profound lesson.
Just as the soldier was about to beat the old woman, a voice rang out.
"Let her go!" Wolverine walked out of the vendors.
"Who are you?" The officer frowned, and was about to raise his pistol when suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind him.
"Do you want to die?" At some point, Rorschach quietly appeared behind the officer and snatched the pistol from his hand.
Wolverine nodded to him and strode over to the old woman, and the two soldiers tried to stop him, but Wolverine was knocked to the ground in a few clicks.
The other soldiers suddenly became overwhelmed and looked at the officer, realizing that he had been controlled by Rorschach.
The officer turned his head to stare at Rorschach and said viciously:
"Foreigner, what are you going to do?"
"Nothing." Rorschach held a pistol in one hand and shook his phone in the other, "We are Sam's Countrymen, what you just did has been recorded by us, if you don't want this video to be posted on the Internet, you can leave immediately, of course, you can also try to grab your phone, I promise you will regret this decision." ”
"You ......" The officer looked at him, then at Wolverine, and took a deep breath, "Okay, we'll leave now." ”
"A wise choice." Rorschach smiled slightly, withdrew the pistol, drew the magazine, and threw the pistol to the officer.
The officer caught the pistol, his eyes showing surprise, and visibly shocked by his skillful unloading maneuvers, he put away the pistol and hurried into the truck.
When the soldiers saw the commander getting into the car, they also climbed into the truck compartment.
