Chapter Eighty-Three: Going to Die This Time?
Looking up, Jiang Ming appeared in a blue bird sitting in the wind. Hasn't this guy been here for a few days? Why didn't you see any movement? I'm here alone to fight monsters and upgrade.
He came down and said let's go first! I climbed aboard his bluebird and flew into the lagoon in the light of the searchlight.
There are seven or eight fishing boats in the lagoon, ranging in tonnage from 130 to 150 tons. Jiang Ming landed on one of the largest fishing boats, saying that a small formation had been set up here, otherwise the fishermen would have been arrested long ago.
The cabin of the fishing boat was brightly lit, and there were many people around the table, all fishermen who had come to catch fish. Jiang Ming introduced them to me one by one. These black-faced fishermen are all from Tanmen Town, and they work hard in the sea, so their faces are tanned.
The opening of fishing in the South China Sea was a matter of 83 years. The sea was closed for more than 30 years, because our national strength was limited at that time and we did not want to conflict with other countries in the South China Sea, so we announced the closure of the sea. It was only after the lockdown was lifted in '83 that these fishermen, whose ancestors had made a living from fishing here, started fishing again.
Of course, we don't talk about politics, we only talk about the present. Politics and military affairs have risen to the national level, and it is not up to us to decide. Jiang Ming and I are just here to do errands.
Quietly do things, do it well, and all that remains is for the country to come and scold others in the air. That's what Master Wen is doing.
The formation is not popular in Southeast Asia, so Jiang Mingbu's formation can keep the Philippine fishery administration ship out. In addition, the tonnage of the fishery administration ship is large, and they dare not come in from the mouth of the lagoon, and hundreds or thousands of tons are afraid of running aground.
So they just blocked the mouth of the lagoon, and the fishermen were safe for the time being.
I asked Jiang Ming what he was doing these days? He said that he had beaten a batch of Filipino monkeys, and you had beaten the second batch. I see! I thought he came over to fish and play on the beach.
He asked me who I had just gotten up to? I said that if I killed the Mifune people, there would be a bald head that would turn into a big fish of hundreds of families, and I didn't kill him after a few punches. The other one seems to be a head lowerer, who has become a large octopus that sprays ink and is corrosive.
Jiang Ming touched his chin, his chin was shaved bare, and he didn't have a beard at all, probably because he was used to touching things.
He introduced the captain to me, and seven or eight people were the captains of these ships, and the captain of the big ship was called Fu Yongliang. We sat down to drink tea and talk, and Fu Yongliang's words made my thinking about Nansha and Huangyan Island in the South China Sea clearer.
Fu Yongliang said that they are all fishermen from Tanmen Town, and they are not good at casting nets, but can only 'pan' and diving. As the saying goes, it is to touch sea cucumbers, abalones, sharks, turtles, hawksbill turtles and other sea treasures near the reef, and most of these sea treasures live in coral reefs.
In the past, these marine creatures were not protected and endangered.
The reef is rich in products, all of which are rare seafood, which makes more money than catching fish, which is why they want to enter Nansha in the South China Sea and enter Huangyan Island. Huangyan Island is rich in clams, which can be used to make various handicraft ornaments.
The maximum sea transparency of Nansha can reach more than 40 meters, and you can see what is more than 40 meters deep on the water surface. This is a prerequisite for them to be able to dive in the coral reef to catch sea treasures. They use wetsuits and oxygen tubes to dive, which are dangerous and often cause accidents.
According to the records of the "Changing Routes", the routes described in text are mapped. Before there was a navigator, our ancestors had already opened up a complete transportation system in the South China Sea. It was the 600-year-old fishing activities of their ancestors in the Nansha of the South China Sea that expanded the territory of the South China Sea into a nine-dash line.
The ancestors knew every island and reef in Nansha well. When they encounter reefs and islands, especially when they encounter unexpected situations and delay their trips, and when they are short of water and food, they have to find ways to go to the island to dig wells to get water.
They collect snails, catch fish, pickle them, and dry them on the reefs. Many of the islands still have huts, wells, and temples left by their ancestors.
Since the eighties and nineties of the last century, the life of the fishermen in Tanmen has become more and more difficult, and several groups of foreigners have come to the "ancestral sea", and the scope of production is getting smaller and smaller.
For more than 20 years since the ban on Nansha was opened, Tanmen fishermen have defended the historical fact that their ancestors first discovered, named and operated Nansha with their meager lives. In the future, we will continue to cultivate this "responsibility field" and "ancestral sea" opened up by our ancestors.
After listening to Fu Yongliang's words, I finally felt ashamed of my original words. At the beginning, I told Ling Yunzi that the South China Sea is so big, and people can't take it away and can't steal it. Now people have really come to take possession.
"The fishermen have been here for seven or eight days, and the seafood has to be brought back." Jiang Ming said.
"I just killed three boates, and now that big fishery boat only has a bald head and a big octopus." I said, glancing at the clams on the boat.
"Could it be that a spirit? According to the older generation, there have been spirits in the South China Sea for hundreds of years, and these spirits may have formed an alliance with the Philippines. Fu Yongliang said.
"Didn't you say that animals were not allowed to become sperm after the founding of the People's Republic of China?" Jiang Ming said. This is a stalk, I believe many people have heard of it, but it is estimated that this is a goblin abroad.
"Then let's do it! Before dawn, you go out of the lagoon and head north. Jiang Ming and I stayed on their fishery boat, and we killed as many people as they came. I said.
"There is no boat here, it is not easy for you to go back!" Fu Yongliang said with concern.
"It's okay! We have our own way. Jiang Ming patted his chest and reassured. Probably, he also has locators.
After the discussion was settled, the captains dispersed and went back to make preparations. Then Jiang Ming withdrew the formation, Fu Yongliang turned on the searchlight in front and slowly turned it on, followed by a fishing boat.
When we got out of the mouth of the lagoon, the three boats were still there, and Jiang Ming and I got on the big boat and looked for no one. Probably the two men were picked up by helicopter.
I watched the eight fishing boats slowly walk away. I got into the cockpit of the big ship and asked Jiang Ming if he could sail the ship? He said no, but it shouldn't be complicated, and then he lowered his head and fiddled with the instruments.
I said, "How about we go and find the destroyer, rob them, and launch a few more eggs at the Philippines?" ”
Jiang Ming patted me on the shoulder and laughed, "This idea is good, it's enough to pit!" ”
The fishery administration ship in the Philippines is converted from a gunboat, and as soon as the main gun is dismantled and painted in color, it becomes a fishery administration ship. The ship we were tinkering with was about 500 tons, and the two smaller ones next to it were about 350 tons.
After tinkering for a while, Jiang Ming said, "You didn't burn this ship just now, did you?" ”
I patted my head: "Yes! When I was fighting the octopus monster just now, I went into the engine compartment and lit a fire. ”
We hurried to the engine room, although it was not very burned, but some of the hoses and wiring were burned. Jiang Ming said: "Cao, why don't you leave a boat?" ”
I said, "At that time, the fire started, and it burned, but it didn't seem to be very serious, why don't you fix it?" ”
"It's a fart! The engine is not broken, these oil pipes, wires, and belts are burned, how to repair them without a substitute? Jiang Ming was full of complaints, and left after speaking.
I wandered around, found a dozen M-16s and magazines, and went to the cockpit to find Jiang Ming. This guy is sitting in a chair, with his feet on the dashboard, and is holding a walkie-talkie and scolding people, in English.
“You make me sick。
You’
e a je
k!
Get lost。
It’s

e of you
busi

You stupid je
k!
Shut up!
You basta
d!”
It seems to be practicing speaking, but I can't understand a word. Put down the pile of M-16s, pick up a good bore, and pull the trigger outside the doorway.
"Phew! Bang! Bang! Bang! A bullet casing flew to Jiang Ming's neck, which made him jump up, and he turned around and said, "Grass! How did you shoot it? ”
I laughed and continued to finish the bullets. Then the other party heard Chinese and also changed Chinese to scold. I threw the empty M-16 into the sea and picked up another one, when out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of something unusual in the water. He turned around and stabbed Jiang Ming and said, there is a situation!
He walked out slowly with a gun in his hand, and fired into the water just now. Suddenly, the whole ship shook. What's going on? If a 500-ton ship can be hit, it can't be hit by a whale, right?
Jiang Ming ran out and looked down at the side of the boat. What the hell did I say? He said you get a flashlight, and I ran back to the cockpit and pulled out a flashlight in a drawer. As soon as the flashlight shone on, we all took a breath of cool air.
I saw that under the boat, there were hundreds of big octopuses, which were sucking the bottom of the boat with suction cups and dragging the big boat to the deep sea. There are also hundreds of catties of big fish on the periphery, densely packed. Jiang Ming said that this is a grouper, and he will make a fortune if he catches it.
The sky was low, with bursts of lightning and a light rain. The sea used to be windless, but now it is raining and windy, and it is pitch black. The wind blew up a huge wave of several meters, which covered us all at once, and drenched us all over.
Now it's a fishy smell. I grabbed the side of the boat and asked Jiang Ming what to do. He said to shoot them. Then we went back and got two guns and came out, and we fired at the sea. This bullet went to the bottom of the water, and I don't know if it had any effect.
I rushed inside with a flashlight, trying to find an ammunition depot or a warehouse to see if there were any bazookas or something. It's a pity that this is just a fishery boat, and there is nothing but living materials.
When I ran out, Jiang Ming had already run out of bullets, and he was holding a gun and smashing the big octopus that climbed onto the boat. These octopuses are the size of a water tank and the size of a bucket of water, each with countless sticky, slippery tentacles.
"Jiang Ming! Do you have a fire charm? I shouted. He hurriedly took out the talisman paper from his clothes, but fortunately it was not soaked, and then played a few fire talismans to scare the octopuses on the boat away.
It's not that fat people can play fire talismans, Jiang Ming does, but the weapon he takes advantage of is a copper ruler, so the fire talisman is used less.
There were fewer octopuses in the bow, but there were still many in the stern, so he turned and ran to the stern, and fired a few more fireballs, which burned the octopus with a "zizi" sound, and drove it into the sea.
"Jiang Ming! These may be the disciples and grandchildren of the octopus monster, and it's not a way to go on like this! I shouted.
The wind outside was stronger, blowing huge waves, the big boat kept rocking, and the ground was full of seawater, and it was very slippery to step on. We ran into the cockpit, closed the door, and got a moment of peace.
I looked at Jiang Ming, who was soaking wet, he wiped a handful of water from his face, looked at me and said, "Daheng, you won't really explain here this time, right?" ”
"Where's your cat? Don't you have a black cat? Still afraid you won't be able to escape? "I wiped the sea water off my face with my sleeve, because the sea water is salty and easy to obscure my eyes.
"Have you ever seen a cat that can swim? Is it good for cats to be on land? This ocean is hundreds of miles, and cats can't come! Jiang Ming took out a pack of cigarettes, pinched them, all of them were water, and then threw them away.
Maybe there was a typhoon forming today, so there was a storm outside, and now the big ship is shaking hard. We had to hold on to our surroundings to be able to stand firm, and the water that rushed up kept pouring into the cockpit. The raindrops pounded violently against the glass windows.
"It would be nice if a ship approached now, I hope this ship won't sink so quickly!" If there is another boat, I can take Jiang Ming over.
Through the glass window where the raindrops were blurred, we saw a lot of large octopuses coming up in front of and behind us. The ship was crushed and lowered, as if it would sink if another great wave came. The big octopuses wrapped up the glass windows in the front, back, left and right, and the tentacles kept moving, trying to find the gap to get in.
Suddenly we felt the boat spinning, counterclockwise, and faster and faster. We grabbed the handrail next to us, feeling dizzy. Jiang Ming said that it should be the center of the typhoon. No wonder I didn't hear the sound of raindrops, it turned out to be in the center of the typhoon.
I grabbed the armrest, my stomach rolled, and I threw up with a "wow", and after this vomiting, I felt a fever and fatigue. I sat on the wet floor and opened my eyes slightly to look at Jiang Ming, who was also pale with one hand covering his mouth.
