Chapter XVII: Our Reinforcements
I struggled as hard as I could, trying to get up and get a speargun to blast the dolphins away.
But when I finally straightened up with a trembling body, I felt my stomach tumbling upside down, and streams of sour water rushed to my throat and eyes.
I know it's a sign of vomiting. I don't want to vomit, otherwise I'm afraid that as soon as I open my mouth, my stomach will be empty, and the whole person will be even more decadent. I clenched my teeth and closed my lips, but a little bit of soup was spilling out of my mouth. As a last resort, I knelt down again.
The dolphins were unrelenting, and even a few of us were out of combat. Collectively, they leaned towards the gasoline boat.
At the critical moment, I thought of the magic tripod again, there are still some gold and silver worms there, and I plan to release them to try.
I reached for Ding, tore open the foil, and swallowed several more times in the process. I don't even dare to think about it, otherwise I would swallow back what I was going to spit out, how disgusting would it be?
When I put the tripod on the bottom of the boat, I still have a total, how can I play the insect flute in this state for a while?
Before I could come up with an idea, the iron donkey let out a whoosh and vomited. It was also a coincidence, and a mouthful of vomit happened to spray into the magic ding.
What level of iron donkey? Although it was only a mouthful, it drowned half of the ding. I watched as the gold and silver worms hiding inside were all lifeless and floating on the filth.
I felt a chill in my heart. I also know that the way to repel bugs is completely unworkable.
Don't look at me Iron Donkey and Mary are so uncomfortable, but Jiang Shaoyan is fine. He was uncomfortable half-squatting in the driver's seat, but he was able to control his body and make a little movement.
He kept fiddling with the dial, and suddenly, he was chanting and adjusting a few more buttons.
The speed of the gasoline boat went up all at once. The Dolphin Soldiers didn't expect the boat to accelerate so quickly, and they were pulled down a big bit.
At a distance, I noticed that the sonic interference was not so severe. We were able to sit in the boat and breathe a little less.
The iron donkey couldn't help but urge Jiang Shaoyan at first, asking him to fiddle with the gasoline boat again to see if he could raise the speed again.
Jiang Shaoyan shook his head and said another thing, this gasoline boat is running out of fuel and can't run far.
My first reaction was surprise, and then I looked behind me. Those dolphin soldiers are still chasing after each other. I thought to myself, this situation is enough to make the egg hurt.
There were no spare petrol drums in the boat, and we didn't know how to refuel the boat. I asked Jiang Shaoyan how long he could drive? Even when I asked this, I was ready, and after a while, I just waited for the boat to stop, and we fought to the death with the dolphins.
Jiang Shaoyan said that according to his estimates, the gasoline boat can drive up to 10 nautical miles.
He didn't look good at all, but after a while, he sighed, and a hint of unexpected excitement appeared on his face.
I knew that things were still going to turn around, so I asked again, what's wrong?
Jiang Shaoyan didn't speak, and asked the iron donkey to take over his shift. After the iron donkey became the driver, Jiang Shaoyan casually found a place to squat down, looked ahead with his eyes, and muttered blindly in his mouth.
I wondered what he was doing. But Mary and I looked at each other, but neither asked.
After driving some distance like this, I could see that there was a red light flashing on the dial of the petrol boat, indicating that the oil was close to running out.
At this moment, a large black shadow appeared in the distance. It's a boat with high beams on it, and it's still shining on our side.
I was startled, thinking it was another enemy. Jiang Shaoyan spoke at this moment, reminding us not to panic, there are our reinforcements ahead.
This was so uplifting that I suddenly felt a lot of energy in my body, and I was afraid that the reinforcements would not find us, so I took off my shirt, stood up and shook it vigorously in the distance.
I also wanted to shout, but my voice was too uncomfortable, and the shouting didn't come out in the end.
The iron donkey was silent, but he played with his life in actual action, drove the gasoline boat to the fastest speed, and rushed over with reinforcements.
We were close to the reinforcements in both directions, and if we had enough fuel, we could have arrived together to join us, but in the end we stopped alone on the sea, waiting for the big ship of reinforcements to come to our side.
During this time, the dolphin soldiers, who had been pulled far away, also began to exert their strength, and they seemed to want to intercept us before the reinforcements.
I would look ahead for a while, and look back at the dolphin soldiers for a while, trying to estimate who would be the first to arrive between the reinforcements and the dolphin soldiers.
The situation was quite optimistic, and I observed that the speed of the large reinforcement ship was faster, but the ship suddenly stopped while driving, and there was movement on the bow, and a very wide iron plate stretched out.
The iron plate is ten meters above the ground, and there are eight conveyor belts on it. The conveyor belt is working all the time.
I thought that such a large ship must have weapons such as heavy machine guns and cannons, and as long as I showed it and fired at the dolphins, I didn't believe that I couldn't kill them.
But looking at the current situation, there are no guns, why is there such a strange conveyor belt in the past?
We pressed our breath and continued to observe. The Dolphins sensed something was wrong, and they were coming at a much slower speed.
After a while, a large coffin appeared on each of the eight conveyor belts, with a sailor standing next to it. I don't know if it's appropriate to make it a coffin? But it really doesn't look like a shipping container.
When the coffin was resting on the far side of the iron plate, the sailors moved. They each fiddled with the lid of the coffin a few times.
The outermost coffin wall was fully opened, and a large stream of water flowed from it, and several huge black shadows rushed out of the coffin.
My first reaction was that the reinforcements who arrived also had dolphin soldiers, and they wanted to fight violence with violence and stage a big battle between dolphins. But there is also a problem, this black shadow is larger than the body of a dolphin, and can even be more than twice as large.
While I was still pondering, these dark shadows entered the sea. And the dolphin soldiers in the distance became very frightened, and they no longer floated their fins on the surface of the sea, but all sank into the sea, took out a posture as fast as they wanted, turned around and fled.
This kind of change is so big that I am dumbfounded.
There was movement on the reinforcement ship again, and the iron plate retracted, and the sailors above followed it back to the deck.
The big boat slowly approached us, and the rubber boat was lowered to meet us.
I saw that the people in the rubber boats were wearing camouflage uniforms with police armbands on their sleeves, and it was clear that they were coast guards.
At this time, we didn't say anything, got into the rubber boat, and were taken back to the big boat by them. During this period, Jiang Shaoyan asked, "What was in the water just now?" Sea lions? ”
One of the coast guards looked like the leader of these people, nodded, and explained that this batch had just been shipped from the base, and he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
I remembered that sentence, the magic is one foot high and one foot high, and my heart said Chen Shiyu, are they cows or not? But what about the bull break? They use dolphins, and we train sea lions on our side.
Isn't it a sea lion cutting a dolphin? In addition, I also have a guess that these sea lions are specially prepared to deal with Chen Shiyu's dolphin soldiers.
When we got on the big boat, there were people who prepared dry clothes and meals for us.
We were all hungry, and because we were safe, our appetites were great. The four of us didn't go to the restaurant, let alone find a chair, so we squatted and ate wildly.
The captain of the big ship took the time to come over to meet us and communicate with Jiang Shaoyan, what should we do next?
We have two things to do now, one is to find the Iron Anchor, it has sunk, we will carry out the salvage operation as soon as possible, and if we can't get it, we can still get some corpses or equipment. The other thing is that we don't care about anything, we go ashore on the boat first.
Jiang Shaoyan is biased towards the latter, and I found that after eating, he was a little unrefreshed.
The captain respected Jiang Shaoyan's intentions and immediately turned around and returned to the sea. However, he also used radio to contact the land, so that the police could dispatch another boat to rush over to do the salvage operation.
I'm not as tired as Jiang Shaoyan, and I also walked around this boat after dinner. My assessment, my previous instinct was quite accurate, this is really an armed ship, with all the cannons and heavy machine guns, and a warehouse is locked, and there are special police officers guarding the door. My guess is that there are missiles in there.
Just because this ship is so powerful, I put a big question mark in my head, and I said why didn't we take this ship when we first went to sea?
Otherwise, with such good weapons and equipment, what kind of red killing machine? What else is the dolphin soldier? Under the roar of gunfire, they are guaranteed to be wiped out in an instant.
But I think Jiang Shaoyan is not a stupid person, what I can think of, he should have thought of it a long time ago, there must be something in this that I don't know.
We spent the day on the boat, and in the evening of the next day, the four of us disembarked.
I thought I was going back to the hotel by myself, Jiang Shaoyan couldn't take the iron donkey and Mary, and immediately go to report to the boss? Or even discuss your next steps?
To my surprise, they didn't leave me, and the four of us went back to the hotel together, Mary stayed in a room by herself, and my brother and I stayed together.
Since getting off the boat, Jiang Shaoyan's tiredness has become even greater, and he fell asleep when he returned to the hotel, and occasionally woke up halfway, just sat up and smoked a stuffy cigarette, and then lay down again.
Two days passed like this. That night, it rained heavily in Haike City, which also made me a little depressed, and I always felt that there was rain here every three or five days, and the air was humid and uncomfortable.
Jiang Shaoyan also answered a phone call in the room, I couldn't hear the specific content of the chat, but when he put down the phone, Jiang Shaoyan became bitter, and called the four of us together for a meeting.
He said that if it goes well, he will go to sea in a few days and go to Ghost Island. I asked him along the way, are you ready to go to sea this time? At least the boat should be powerful, and you can't be afraid of Chen Shiyu's moths.
I thought that Jiang Shaoyan would be very confident that everything was ready, but I didn't expect him to smile even more bitterly, and he didn't answer me directly, but only whispered, "Whether it can be done depends on whether the old evil is willing to go out of the mountain." ”
