Text Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 31 Captain Jack
The long and lengthy sound spread far away, and even after Bai Qi drove the car far away, he could still clearly hear the sound echoing in his ears.
For some reason, the longer I listened to this voice, the stronger the irritability and restlessness in Bai Qi's heart became.
He turned on the satellite navigation on the car, and now it was about two hundred kilometers away from Mecha City, which would take about four or five hours to go, if the journey went well.
Driving on snowy fields will greatly reduce the speed of the car, although the car sent by Qi Zeyue to Bai Qi has the best off-road performance in the world.
Bai Qi looked at Yun Meng, her face was slightly pale, and the whole person didn't look very good.
"Still uncomfortable?"
Yunmeng nodded. "Well, I don't know why, it's been like this since I just heard those voices, and it's been like this all the way."
The distant sound is still echoing, in this boundless field, coming from the north, turning his head to look at the back window of the car, behind is the road to the Arctic Ocean in the north, in the distance, connecting the sky, so it seems, the sound seems to come from the sky, but this is obviously not the sound of heaven.
The snow was a little lighter, and the car had been covered with snow before, and even the rearview mirrors had been covered with snow, so it was impossible to see the scene behind the car through the rearview mirror.
Bai Qi's mobile phone rang suddenly, he took out his mobile phone, the signal had recovered somewhat, it was a call from Qi Zeyue.
"How are you doing?" Qi Zeyue's voice rang on the other end of the phone, still in such a flat tone, although Bai Qi should have been able to guess that Qi Zeyue should have made more than one call to them, but he didn't answer it because of the signal.
"It's okay here, it's still some distance from Mecha City, and it will be there in a few hours, and it shouldn't be dark by then."
Qi Zeyue let out a long breath. "That's good, the weather is not very good now, I was worried just now that you were thinking about whether to send someone to pick it up, it's okay."
"Come back early, don't stop anywhere along the way."
"Okay, I got it."
The Arctic Ocean, the northernmost of the four oceans, the North Pole as a huge glacier, floats on this ocean, the water temperature here is kept around zero all year round, many times, if the weather is bad, the water surface will be frozen, and the ships passing or moving in it will be trapped, if there is no special ice-breaking means, the whole ship has to be explained here, the harsh environment here, in the last century and even the last century, has buried a lot of explorers who came here, some of them are human pioneers, Some are just to satisfy their curiosity about this out-of-this-world land.
The place bordering the Arctic Ocean in Asja is not controlled by the U.S. government, it is too close to the North Pole, the climate is extremely harsh all year round, no one wants to come to this place, and the U.S. government has not been able to establish a formal and orderly management system here, because whether it is government officials, or the military and police, everyone respects this place, and over time, this place is selectively forgotten by the U.S. government, and occasionally only a few expeditions to explore ore resources will come here for an investigation.
However, although the government did not intervene here, all kinds of small local forces always like to make some small moves here, and it is precisely because the government does not intervene here that all kinds of poaching and smuggling activities are rampant here, and smugglers either bring in or send things out through the entrance to the sea.
Captain Jack is a perennial smuggler in the Arctic Ocean and has been leading his fleet across the Arctic Ocean for more than a decade, controlling most of the smuggling transactions here.
This time, he shipped a batch of drugs and guns from Russia, ready to be transferred to the United States through Asca, and it is said that they were provided to an underground underworld organization in the United States.
It's just that the buyer paid a large sum of money to send a group of people to Jack's ship along with these drugs and guns when arranging the business, saying that he wanted Jack to bring them with him.
Jack looked at this group of people who were wearing black coats or cloaks, and their whole bodies were basically tightly wrapped, and they could only see the eyes that were exposed, and even the entire face was covered by most of them.
He stood on the deck at the bow of the ship, and the first mate stood next to him.
"These people look a little strange."
The first mate nodded in agreement. "I heard that they came from Huaxia, and I happened to hear some of them speaking Huaxia language before."
"Huaxia? That's interesting, these people have murderous in their eyes, I can't be mistaken, they must have lived with their heads on their waists all year round, and it would be reasonable if they were in Russia, or in Siberia or elsewhere. ”
Jack's eyes narrowed slightly. "But if it's in Huaxia, it's completely different, there is a strong control of law and order, and people are forbidden to have guns, these people can have such a heavy murderous 、、、、、、," Jack said here and suddenly stopped.
The first mate stepped forward and lowered his voice. "Captain, do you think they will be 、、、、、、"
The corners of Jack's mouth rose slightly, and the first mate only said half of what he said, but they knew what the other wanted to say.
He turned around and patted the first mate on the shoulder.
"Whoever it is, as long as we have the benefits," Jack turned to look at the ocean in the distance, "as long as we do business, as long as we make a deal, with angels, or with devils, it's all the same." ”
"Is there any news from Asgar's eyeliner?" Jack asked again.
"Yes, during this time, because the mecha competition is going on over there, and the mecha city has just been established, the security forces of various governments are basically invested there, so the situation is not quite the same as the previous times, but the original seaports are still in a relatively chaotic state."
Jack nodded. "Well, I don't think they can manage those places no matter how much they do."
There were already people on the deck who came out to move, and the first mate saw that they were all those dressed in black.
Although they walked together in twos and threes, they rarely spoke along the way, only occasionally speaking a few words for some necessary exchange, and remained silent for most of the rest of the time, and Jack's crew was reluctant to approach these people, and when they saw them approaching, they would choose to avoid them.
The first mate saw a tall black figure walking towards him and the captain, and his heart instinctively repelled it, but he politely kept smiling at the thought that it was a guest after all.
The man took off his black mask.
This is a very strong person, Jack, as a pirate type who has been doing this kind of trading in the Arctic Ocean all year round, his figure is already very strong, but compared to the person in front of him, Jack is still a lot worse.
He had a long beard on his face, a dark complexion, and wide open eyes, which made people feel refreshed at the same time, but also had a sense of not being angry and arrogant.
"How far is it from Ascar." He asked.
"There are probably more than 300 nautical miles left, and at the current rate, it will take another day or two."
He nodded. "Okay, I'm the person in charge here, and I hope you and the captain can let me know if there's any situation."
Jack nodded and smiled politely. "Yes, you're guests after all, I don't know what you call them."
"Guo Cheng."
"Oh, Mr. Guo, take the liberty of asking, where are you going, are you going to the United States, if that's the case, my fleet can continue to send you, because the people on your side only let us send you to Asgar, and I also have someone on the American side to pick you up."
Guo Cheng glanced at Jack. "No, just send us to Asgar, someone will come to pick us up when we get to the harbor, and then we won't have to worry about the captain."
He didn't say where he was going, he just answered, Jack nodded, he didn't ask any further, the buyer offered a price several times higher than any business he had done in years, there must be some reason for this.
Guo Cheng turned to leave, and there were still a few people standing there on the deck occasionally, and the first mate suddenly leaned his face close to Jack. "Captain, you say, these people, will they be heading for Mecha City?"
Jack was shocked. It's not impossible, these people are neither towards Canada nor at the United States, they just ask to stop at the port of Asgar, which is very strange in nature, if there is any obvious goal in Asgar right now, it is the mecha city that stands in the middle of Asgar.
If these people are infected, their goal is to go to Mecha City.
"No, probably not." Jack shook his head.
"The current security force in Mecha City is too strong, it is not something that they can subvert, and when they get there, they will only become turtles in the urn."
"Okay, we don't have to worry about this anymore, have we taken the money, the business has been done, and when this business is done, we will also have time to recuperate, and the ships of our fleet seem to be fast."
I haven't maintained it for half a year. Jack said.
"yes." The first mate also sighed that in the past six months, due to various reasons in Mecha City, their business has suddenly become very busy, and it is difficult to carry out all kinds of smuggling activities that were originally carried out by themselves, so they have to rely on their large-scale organized activities.
I felt a sudden tremor under the boat.
The vibration was relatively mild, and Jack just frowned. "Ask them what's going on?"
The first mate nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, when the vibration came up again, this time it was obviously much stronger.
Jack saw that there was water vapor steaming upwards on the surface of the sea in the distance.
That is, boiling seawater?
