Chapter 135: Teshima
The whistle sounded twice, and the passenger ship slowly docked.
At this time, there was a burst of gunfire from the adjacent plank road, and Tang Yan saw the red-spotted seagulls flying low in the distance through the gap in the railing, escaping towards the northern sky.
"Get off the boat, get off the boat, go to the catch market and follow the main road all the way south, turn left about 500 meters, and you can see it after two steps." The man who had just told the three of them not to go near the water stood on the shore and shouted at the cabin.
Mainlanders wearing leather jackets and leather pants and wearing various gas masks walked out of the cabin one after another and boarded the plank road next to it.
Tang Yan and the three of them left behind, and after leaving the passenger ship, they glanced to the west.
"Is it a delusion? Or ......"
The Toshima Wharf is not small, stretching east from where they landed, and there are boats of all sizes parked on both sides of the boardwalk, most of which are small fishing boats with a small displacement.
After all, most of the medium and large ships left over from before the nuclear war could not operate due to lack of maintenance, but some small ships were simple in structure, easy to find, and ready to go to sea for repairs.
It was nearly noon, and there were not many fishing boats moored on the eastern pier, except for a few fishermen in radiation-proof leather pants walking back and forth between the cabins and the boardwalk, unloading the catch from last night to early morning.
I can't tell if it's because of the poor harvest on this trip, or the fact that the shutdown of Maxim's Cannery Factory has affected the livelihood of the fishermen.
Of course, the gun-wielding soldiers patrolling the boardwalk don't care about these things, they just need to keep the docks vigilant and disperse the red-spotted seagulls that might hurt people, and they can get food and money from the boat boss.
There is a larger pier further east of the fishing dock where the fishing boats dock, and near the end of the line of sight is a dock facility used to repair and renovate boats, and there are some marine vessels moored nearby, including fishing boats, passenger boats, armed speedboats, and several cargo ships with a displacement online.
Tang Yan had investigated the situation in Toshima before he left here, and knew that in addition to monopolizing the offshore fishing and marine transportation industry, the ship boss was also a salvage and purchaser of scrapped ships.
Many ships in good condition and in good condition were brought here from the waters around the ruins of Kotoshima City, repaired or refitted, and then handed over to customers in need.
A large number of these customers are fishermen from villages along the mainland who buy their boats from the boat bosses, and the fish they catch must be sold to the catch market and scraped with a layer of oil, otherwise they will be retaliated against.
Many people are afraid to speak out about this.
In Tang Yan's opinion, compared with Luo Zuoming, Huang Lei and others, the boat boss's approach is more rough and barbaric, at least the former has a pair of bottoms between his legs, and the latter is directly naked.
"What are you thinking?" Gao Kai walked up to him and whispered, "If you are stunned any longer, it will attract the attention of the guards." ”
Tang Yan stopped his thoughts from flying around, looked at him and said, "You go to the ship broker, and I will go to the catch market with Zang Feng to find out the situation." ”
"Okay." Gao Kai thought for a while and said, "I remember that there is a noodle restaurant called Xiandaoju in the middle of the fish market, why don't you meet there?" Then ......"
Halfway through, Tang Yan said------ "My cannon is already hungry and thirsty." He didn't know what that meant, only that the deputy head was in a hurry.
Tang Yan nodded, greeted Zang Feng, and walked behind the merchants from the mainland towards the location of the catch market. Gao Kai took the nearest fork in the road to the east dockyard to find the broker who specialized in selling boats for the boat boss.
According to Gao Kai, the price of salvage ships is high, and ordinary people cannot afford it. Like those ships that sank into the deep sea during a nuclear war, even military ships have little salvage value, after all, in the past 100 years, most of the parts and daily necessities inside have been corrupted by flooding, and investing energy in them is tantamount to wasting time.
Therefore, most of the second-hand boats in the hands of the boat boss are small fishing boats, and whether or not they can find special operation vessels such as salvage boats depends on luck.
If it weren't for the fact that the classified mission of the military submarine showed that the material codenamed "Platinum" was placed in a waterproof facility, their team would never have invested so much money to buy a salvage ship that was not very useful.
"Platinum" may be valuable, but unfortunately, they found the right place, ran into the wrong "person", and were beautifully ambushed by the Queen of Milurks and her men, and even the people and ships sank to the bottom of the sea.
Tang Yan was thinking about "Platinum" and the Queen of Mireururks as he walked, but he didn't care much about greeting the ship boss.
Before I knew it, I was at the catch market.
In order not to be too conspicuous, both men wore Reaper armor with their jetpacks removed, Tang Yan did not carry a C-14 Piercing II electromagnetic rifle, and the Bosen FN92 sniper rifle was wrapped in Zangfeng and carried behind him.
But even so, they were still very eye-catching in the queue that entered the catch market, and from time to time some people looked at the two with amazement, including mainlanders who came here by boat together, and staff at the catch market.
Just as the entire Toshima Pier is the property of the boat boss, all the shops in the fish market are owned by the boat boss, and the rest is owned by the residents of Toshima.
Although there are not many people living in Fengdao, only seven or eight hundred, not even one-tenth of Gem City, but the boat boss lives a more comfortable life than Huang Lei, Wang Ming and others.
Here he is the well-deserved king of Toshima, the absolute overlord of the adjacent seas, in the words of fishermen outside the island, he said one, no one dared to say two, he wanted to eat sugar, no one dared to hand over dates.
It's not that the Jewel City Guard didn't think about taking down Toshima and turning it into a maritime stronghold of Gem City, but unfortunately it lacks the offensive equipment to adapt to the marine environment, such as warships, armed speedboats or something, and the Jewel City Guard soldiers are also a group of landlubbers, and they are not good at naval warfare, and the ship boss can organize an armed force of at least three or four hundred people in a short period of time, and there is a military frigate available, not to mention how much combat power is left in the past 100 years, in short, it is not a civilian ship that can resist.
After much deliberation, the Gem City finally gave up on the idea of attacking and watched the ship boss build a sea kingdom of his own.
To be sure, with Toshima's military strength, it is basically impossible to make great achievements in the mainland environment, but no one can compete with it in the one-third sea off the coast of Kotoshima City.
"Hey, travelers from the mainland, you can't miss it when you pass by, fresh whale meat, whale baleen, and whale oil can be exchanged for just a few bags of radiation-reducing elixir."
"The bighead salmon that only arrives in the morning is fresh and delicious, and it only costs one diamond coin for two pairs."
"THE SHELL OF THE MIREURURK CAN BE USED TO MAKE PROTECTIVE GEAR, WHICH IS ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND THE IMPACT OF 5.56MM BULLETS."
"The skull of the climbing fog shrimp...... It's the best natural shield. ”
"Friends who often go out have come to take a look, and the secret blue dolphin jerky in the boat fire shop is only 20 diamond coins per catty."
Tang Yan was stunned when he heard this.
A pound of blue dolphin jerky costs 20 diamond coins? It's like a lion's mouth, it's more expensive than the mutated double-headed beef sold at the Gem City Bazaar.
You must know that it is the meat of blue dolphins, one of the main ingredients used by Maxim's Canning Factory to make canned marine fish, and the most common catch product in the peninsula.
However, when he followed the shouting and saw the appearance of the dried meat hanging in the window of the store, he suddenly realized.
