Entering the waters of the South Pacific, the salvage ship also drifted at sea for several days. Unfortunately, the salvage team did not find any wrecks. Even if Xu Haibao saw the sunken warship, there was nothing Xu Haibao wanted on it.

Many of these warships sunk in the South Pacific were sunk in the open seas during World War II. On such a battleship, there is nothing of value at all. With the help of a salvage ship for oil replenishment, Xu Haibao decided to rest for two days.

When Xu Haibao checked into the hotel on Palau Island, Li Jianye, who had been staying in the Solomon Islands earlier, also arrived here by flight. Seeing Xu Haibao and others resting in the hotel, Li Jianye also seemed very happy.

Finding a relatively quiet place, Xu Haibao told Zhao Ji to be in charge of vigilance before he said: "Albatross, how is it? Brothers, are you okay? Do you think that this kind of life is too boring?"

"Okay! After all, we're all traveling at public expense! Next, we should go over there, right?"

"Yes! Along the way, I have searched carefully for several suspicious desert islands, but I have found nothing. Find a few battleships that sank in the early years, most of which have nothing of value on them. ”

After listening to what Xu Haibao said, Li Jianye also said in a timely manner: "Swordfish, during this time in Solomon, I and the members of the intelligence team were not idle, and we also searched for the islands you mentioned last time in the name of sightseeing.

From the search, there should be no buried treasure on those islands. There is just one place, which I have asked the local residents, that in the early years there were warships from time to time, but now it is a place full of reefs.

It is said that there are so many reefs that large ships do not dare to navigate at all, except for the occasional fishing boats. On top of that, the reef in that place is very hidden, the current below is also very fast, and there are even many underwater caves.

Because the terrain is very dangerous, there are not many ships passing by. Locals call it Devil's Bay, and there are many merchant ships that sank there earlier. On the map, it also belongs to the waters of the open sea. ”

"Devil's Bay, okay, I'll take them there when I'm done searching the other suspicious places. Your mission, as before, is to continue to gather intelligence and keep an eye on the movements of the island's maritime police. ”

"Yes, if you really want to get to that place, you can only get there by speedboat. Because there are many underwater caves there, even many experienced divers do not dare to dive there easily. Then you will be more careful. ”

After a short period of contact and reporting, Li Jianye did not stay in Palau for long, and took a plane back to the Solomon Islands on the same day. As the intelligence collector of the salvage team, Li Jianye and his team members must act in secret.

On the other hand, Xu Haibao, who ended the meeting with him, quickly issued an order to end his rest and continue to go to sea. Not long after, the salvage team members checked out of the hotel where they were staying, and soon the 'Sea Dragon' set sail again.

According to Xu Haibao's request, the salvage ship still left Palau's economic waters first and sailed into the high seas. The direction of the voyage is still to the location of the Solomon Islands.

During the voyage, Xu Haibao and the salvage team went to the sea to search from time to time. Not long after entering the Solomon Islands, Xu Haibao, who was in charge of searching under the sea, soon found a merchant ship sunk not far from the island.

Looking at the wreck half-buried at the bottom of the sea, Xu Haibao looked around the side, pinched his fingers at the position above the water, and said, "Water Dragon Wave!"

With Xu Haibao's low drink, a torrent gushed away from the direction of his fingers. Like a high-pressure water cannon, the sea sand covering the sinking is constantly washed away. At the bottom of the sea near the wreck, the sea water also became turbid in an instant.

Fortunately, this turbid situation did not affect Xu Haibao's sight. After cultivating to improve, Xu Haibao was able to perceive the surrounding environment not far away through his spiritual power. Control the flow of water at your fingertips to wash the wreck clean.

Looking at the ironclad merchant ship, Xu Haibao didn't find any obvious signs. But even so, Xu Haibao still notified the salvage ship, anchored above the sunken ship, and began to put down the salvage equipment and equipment.

Knowing that Xu Haibao found another shipwreck on the seabed, and even a commercial ship that should not have been sunk for a long time, everyone felt a little looking forward to it. The members of the salvage team also began to dive deep along the rope lowered by the salvage boat.

In this process, Zhao Ji and others, who were in charge of the guard, were also divided into several teams and drove two speedboats to a place about ten nautical miles away from the salvage ship to serve as a guard post. As soon as a ship passes by, notify the people on the salvage boat immediately.

Similar to this arrangement, Xu Haibao has also tried out many times earlier. Tang Xingyou, who was staying at the command platform of the shipyard, looked at the salvage team that was cleaning up the silt, and said curiously: "Tiger shark, do you think there will be a harvest this time?"

"How do I know this? No one knows what's going to be on it until the ship is opened! When the mud is cleaned up, the jellyfish will go in and check it, won't they know everything?"

With the salvage team under the command of Xu Haibao, the entrance of the capsized merchant ship was found. Looking at You Guangwei, who was about to go in, Xu Haibao quickly signaled: "I'll go in first, you can go in later." I'll let you know if there's something!"

It is also a dangerous thing to enter the wreck to search inside. Compared with the diving ability of You Guangwei and others, Xu Haibao is undoubtedly more convenient. After all, Xu Haibao didn't wear bulky diving gear.

With Xu Haibao first drilling into the open gap, Xu Haibao, who had just entered a cabin, was stunned by the scene in front of him. There was nothing of value found in this cabin, but a twisted white skeleton.

With the help of the underwater camera, Tang Xingyou and the others, who were staying at the command platform, couldn't help but gasp and said, "Damn, there are so many skulls." Holy, what kind of ship is this!"

In the eyes of Tang Xingyou and others, this shipwreck that looks like it should not be a battleship but a merchant ship, and there should be something on it. But they couldn't have imagined that there were so many bones on the ship.

Xu Haibao, who saw this scene, quickly said: "Jellyfish, you all stay outside and don't come in, the situation in this boat is a little wrong!"

"Swordfish, what's wrong?"

"This ship is probably not a merchant ship, it should be a Japanese merchant ship escorting prisoners of war. It's full of bones, and if you really come in, you won't be able to sleep at night. I'll search for it first, and I'll let you know when I have something. ”

"Okay, then be careful yourself!"

Xu Haibao, who salvaged a shipwreck on the bottom of the sea in his previous life and had a similar experience, knew very well that in World War II, the Japanese army forcibly recruited countless laborers and prisoners of war in the invaded areas. Some of the ships carrying laborers and prisoners of war also sank during the voyage.

Xu Haibao, who searched several cabins and still didn't find anything, originally planned to end the search. When he arrived at the cockpit and crew lounge at the rear of the merchant ship, he finally found something of value.

In the room of the captain's lounge, Xu Haibao saw a lot of gold and silver scattered on the ground. Judging from the scattered gold and silver, it should have been packed in a wooden box. It's just that after a long time, all the wooden boxes containing the money have rotted.

Through the underwater camera, Tang Xingyou and the others also said happily: "This time I finally gained a little! It seems that this time, the effort was not in vain." With this gold and silver, the money from this trip to sea should be able to be earned. ”

After a careful search, Xu Haibao found a waterproof cloth package next to a skeleton. Putting it in his hand and sensing it, Xu Haibao felt that it should be something like a document and a diary.

Xu Haibao, who confirmed that he had searched the whole ship and swam out of the wreck again, quickly said: "Jellyfish, send this cloth bag to the ship." Find me another bag and I'll collect all the valuable things. You don't have to come in!"

"Good!"

Wait until Xu Haibao put the gold, silver and a small amount of jewelry collected on the ship into a waterproof bag, hang it on a suspended rope, and make a gesture. Tang Xingyou also quickly took back the rope that was put into the sea.

The divers who had previously entered the water to carry out the salvage mission also pulled other lowered ropes and slowly surfaced. After getting on the boat, Xu Haibao still asked You Guangwei and others to go to the decompression chamber to rest and recuperate.

As for himself, looking at the contents of the bag, after making a simple registration, he locked it in the safe of the salvage cabin. These salvaged items must be sold after returning to China.

Things like gold, silver, and jewelry are relatively easy to sell. But what really made Xu Haibao curious was the contents of the oilcloth bag. After opening it, Xu Haibao found that it was really a notebook.

Seeing that the text recorded on it was all in Japanese, Xu Haibao, who knew some Japanese, looked at it briefly before saying: "It seems that my guess is correct, this sunken Japanese merchant ship is transporting prisoners of war captured from Southeast Asia." ”

"Is there any use for such notes?"

"There should still be a use! On top of this notebook, there is also a list of prisoners of war. Looking at this name, it should be a list of foreign prisoners of war. When I return to China, I will translate all the words above!"

In Xu Haibao's view, such a complete voyage and mission diary can also prove the war crimes committed by the Japanese army in World War II in the early years. And this list, I believe that the United Kingdom and the United States and other countries will also be more interested.

The most important thing is that those skeletons on the merchant ship have no meaning to Xu Haibao, and they should be of great significance to the Allies in World War II. If these skeletons were to be recovered, it would also be a consolation to these fallen prisoners of war.

In short, although there are not many things to gain this time, Xu Haibao feels that it is not in vain to go to the sea. Anyway, this time I came to the Solomon Islands, I also wanted to find trouble with the little devils, and with this note and video, it should attract some attention.

At least for many Allied veterans who participated in World War II, seeing this underwater video and this notebook will also remind them of the crimes committed by the Japanese army against Allied prisoners of war in the Pacific War!
