Chapter 377: A Late Merchant Ship
Early in the morning, Xiao Jian couldn't wait to get up, Lin Xue'er said that the merchant ships of the Magic Utility Society would enter Mirren Harbor in the morning, and he didn't want to miss it.
Fu Ze had planned to leave Mirren early in the morning and continue to the next stop. But the allure of ceramic armor was too strong, and he decided to stay for it for an extra day.
Breakfast was Huo Chi's porridge with cloud sea bream slices, which was delicious and nourishing to the stomach, and everyone drove to the port after eating their fill.
When Yuanbing 008 sailed into the port of Mirren, Huo Chi discovered that this beautiful town actually had such a large harbor.
In the past, the port of Mirren was very prosperous, but after the invasion of monsters, the annual throughput of the port of Mirren was only one-thousandth of what it used to be.
Most of the merchant ships moved to the more accessible city of Milren, and Mirren became a quiet town, but the harbor complex bears witness to the once prosperous past of Millen.
"Park the car here, you need to walk ahead. Xiao Jian saw that the personnel of the port authority had set up a roadblock in front of him, so he was the first to get out of the car, and he really couldn't wait.
The crowd entered Port Mürren along the main road of the port, and Hooch noticed many dilapidated containers piled up on both sides of the main road of the port. Exposed to wind and rain, these containers are rusty, and some have even collapsed and damaged.
Huo Chi looked at the ruined scene in his eyes, and sighed slightly, the pace of the monster's attack is now accelerating, and the coalition formed by various countries does not know if it can stop this catastrophe that is gradually approaching the human race.
"Woo-" Just when Huo Chi was feeling emotional, a ship entered the port, and the long whistle instantly resounded through the port of Mürren.
Xiao Jian immediately picked up his pace, and they walked through the abandoned container stack and finally came to the port.
"Wow!" The salty sea breeze blew in her face, and Su Qingqing stood at the entrance of the harbor wharf, looking at the port of Mürren that could not be seen at a glance, and felt suddenly enlightened.
The deep-water port of the past still maintains its majestic appearance. Huo Chi looked around and found that there were still quite a few merchant ships at the wharf.
"Let's see where the Magic Society's ship is. Xiao Jian looked along the dock, boat by boat, but did not find the ship of the Demon Society.
"What's the matter? Could it be that Sanha lied to us?" Xiao Jian was a little anxious and wanted to go to the port office to check the arrival of the ship.
At this moment, a minivan drove straight in, and stopped beside Huo Chi with a "quack".
Huo Chi instinctively put his hand on the pistol on his waist, but when he saw the car window rolled down and a snow-white husky face poked out, his mood immediately relaxed: "Sanha!"
"Phew, you're Sanha! Don't call me that in the future!" Lin Xue'er's white eyebrows jumped twice, and she seemed a little angry?
Huo Chi smiled, really, husky MM said that he was angry when he was angry, isn't Sanha a good name: "Don't call you Sanha? Then what do I call you? I don't know your name." ”
"My name is Lin Xue'er!" Lin Xue'er's furry face seemed to be a little helpless, what does this Huo Chi's brother like about him?!
"Lin Xue'er, what about a nice name, then I'll call you Xue'er, right?" Huo Chi didn't plan to continue teasing the little girl.
"Get in the car! I'll take you over there and wait. Lin Xue'er snorted and pointed to the back of the truck.
Everyone in the Snow Leopard Team climbed onto the car behind them, and Huo Chi turned over lightly and landed in the compartment of the truck.
The car started again and headed for the other side of the dock. Huo Chi looked at the truck that drove straight in, and couldn't help but sigh at the potential power of the Demon Usage Society.
Cars outside this place are not allowed to enter casually, and if someone needs to haul goods, they must rent a vehicle provided by the port authority. The Snow Leopard team's car was stopped outside, but the magic club didn't use it, and it was really a different treatment.
"It's here. The car stopped again, this time they were closer to the coast, Lin Xue'er opened the car door, looked at the sea and frowned slightly: "Why is it so slow today? ”
"What time should I arrive at the port?" Huo Chi asked as he sniffed, what kind of smell? There seemed to be a faint aroma in the salty smell of the sea breeze, how could this smell feel a little familiar? The smell of the sea here was really different from other places.
Huo Chi looked at the sea, thoughtful, but Lin Xue'er was even more anxious, the merchant ships of the Demon Utility Club were rarely delayed, and if they were late, they would have encountered monsters that were difficult to deal with!
She asked the driver of the car for a satellite phone and dialed the captain's number: "Hey, what's going on, why is it late?"
"What?monster?oh!I know, okay!" Lin Xue'er's expression became serious, and she said to Huo Chi: "You guys wait here for a while, there is a problem on the merchant ship's side, I want to go to the port office." ”
As she spoke, she got back into the car and headed straight for the port office.
"It doesn't matter, right?" Xiao Jian was worried about the ceramic armor, and his eyes skimmed towards the port office, but Huo Chi's brows furrowed.
"Something is wrong, how come there are almost no waves in the sea here?" Huo Chi found that the sea outside the dock almost stopped beating the protective embankment, and the sea became unusually calm.
"Port Mürren is a deep-water harbor, and the waves are inherently small. Qin Lang explained, but he was also a little skeptical, no matter how good the harbor is, there are always waves in the sea, but there are almost no here.
"It looks like there's a ship coming over there. Su Qingqing looked at the direction of the sea level, and suddenly said with some excitement: "It should be the merchant ship of the Demon Usage Society, right?"
Huo Chi looked up, and sure enough, on the sea level in the distance, a freighter slowly approached the dock. On the side of the merchant ship, there was also an armed ship loaded with cannons, which was supposed to be a frigate used to escort merchant ships.
The two boats approached the dock at an extremely slow speed, and Huo Chi felt even more that something was wrong, were these two boats too slow?
A moment later, Lin Xue'er returned, and her car was followed by several cars from the port authority, which were parked on the dock and many port attendants came down.
These people were actually holding various weapons, and looked at the black freighter that was gradually approaching the dock with serious expressions.
"Magic AE05" Huo Chi saw the big words printed on the bow of the ship, and it was indeed the merchant ship of the Magic Use. The boat looked really strange, it was getting slower and slower, and finally stopped a few hundred meters from the pier and could not go any further.
"What's the matter?Xiaoxue?Why didn't they get close to the dock?" Huo Chi hurriedly asked.
"As they passed through the high seas, they came across monsters, and you can see all around the ship. Lin Xue'er pointed to the sea, her brows furrowed.
Huo Chi looked in the direction of Lin Xue'er's finger, and only then did he notice that the mottled outside of the merchant ship was actually crawling with a pale green seaweed.
The seaweed seemed to grow out of the sea, and Huo Chi looked closely at the surface of the sea, and the seemingly calm sea surface was already densely covered with this seaweed.
