Chapter 338: Worm Island
On the southeast coast of country M, a huge cargo port, which was originally a prosperous place for commerce, has now been unconditionally requisitioned by the M army, and a large number of "goods" have been transported here from all over the country, and there is no need to even pack them directly in the open air, and then use bulldozers to push them directly to military cargo ships and transport them to their destinations when necessary.
On the surface of the sea, a large-tonnage military freighter, young Navy soldier Locke climbed on top of the mast and looked at their destination with binoculars...... That legendary island.
Worm Island.
This is the first time Locke has approached this place, his heart is full of anticipation, I heard some of the navy with the ship say that they are lucky and can even see the legendary bugs, and those who are brave can take pictures and even go up to take a group photo, as long as they don't attack, those big bugs will not care about them.
This is the secret weapon of the entire human race, it is so close to country M, and country M has been transporting all kinds of things to Worm Island recently, Locke naturally feels that these insects are secretly bred by their all-powerful people of country M.
"Hey, stinky boy, come down, why don't you climb so high?" The middle-aged sergeant Hugh Beer, who loved to drink, shouted loudly below, the sea was windy, and he drank a little, and to Locke's ears it was like a man with a few missing front teeth shouting, so it was not funny.
However, as a qualified young soldier, Locke obediently climbed down, ran to Hughesbill and saluted loudly, "I'm sorry, sir. ”
"Come on, there are not many people on this ship, don't make so much trouble with everything." Hughesbill took out his pocket and took a sip of homemade XO, which he could not afford as a sergeant, but as an alcoholic with aspirations and ideals. I happened to know another group of drunkards. So they came up with a solution...... Homemade XO.
There is a lot of "cargo" on board. The cargo compartment and deck are piled up, and these so-called "goods" are, to put it bluntly, all kinds of simply processed scrap copper and rotten iron, and even all kinds of garbage that are simply crushed and compressed, so the smell on the deck is really bad, and standing in the garbage dump has the same meaning.
"Come with me and take you to a nice place." Hughesbill took another sip and put the flask back in his pocket. With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the bridge and walked into the wheelhouse on his own.
"Old thing, why are you drinking while sailing again?" Captain Fred said disgruntled as he held the rudder with his pipe in his mouth.
Husbier took out another sip in front of him and said, "Unhappy? Complain about me? ”
Well, a smoker and a drunkard "greeted" each other, and the other people in the captain's room were already surprised, Fred didn't continue to "greet each other" with Hughesbill, and said, "Why don't you stay here on the smelly deck?" ”
Hughesbier said: "Bring a little guy to see the scenery, who will give you a good view here." ”
Fred lowered his head and pulled down his sunglasses, and said strangely, "Little guy." Where are the little ones? Look how drunk you are, ha ”
Hughesbill also looked back strangely. But he found that there was no one behind him, and there was no one at the door, so when he walked out of the door to take a look, he found that Locke was standing on the left side of the door like a javelin, and said angrily: "What are you kid doing?" Addicted to standing guard? ”
Locke said: "It's such a sir, my rank is too low, and I can't enter the captain's room casually without approval." ”
"What approval do you want, I'll approve you now, I'm the biggest on this boat, I'll let you in, you'll come in, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, more old-fashioned than me." Hughes Bildo.
Locke still felt that something was wrong, but Hughesbill didn't care so much about him, grabbed his arm and pulled him in, and then left it alone, went to Fred and picked up a newspaper and read it.
Locke was a little embarrassed, as an ordinary crew member on this military freighter, he was not qualified to come here, but he was pulled in by the commander, and if he walked out of the city, it would be too shameful for the commander, and the view here was really good.
The sea is windy, and the "cargo" on the deck stinks in the fierce sun, and it is not fun to climb on the mast.
Greeting his colleagues in the captain's quarters, Locke went to an unmanned window and continued to look through his binoculars.
"Boy, what are you looking at?" Fred walked over with his pipe in his mouth and patted Locke on the shoulder coldly, Fred grew up in that icy and snowy part of Alaska, and his strength was so strong that he patted Locke's shoulder painfully, and looked at it again...... Sergeant Hugh Bill, humming a ditty, took Fred's place.
Let a man who had just drunk a boat take over...... Is this really okay?
Seeing the little guy in front of him in a daze, Fred followed his gaze and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the reef and everything near here have been eaten by those insects, leaving only a lonely island, and it will be fine." ”
"Can you eat all the reefs?" Locke said that he was not surprised, and it was all fake.
Fred took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Why can't you?" What do you think we're shipping now? Scrapped cars, useless plastics, industrial wastewater filtration, and directly household waste, what do you think they are all for? Of course, it's all for bugs. Not to mention the reef, let me tell you, there were originally several islands scattered in this sea, but now they are all gone, and they have been razed to the ground, where do you say they have gone? ”
"Eaten by bugs?" Locke was unsure.
Fred said: "Of course, these bugs are very scary, don't blame me for not reminding you, don't be scared to pee your pants if you see it later." ”
Locke struggled to stand up straight to look confident, and said, "No, I promised my friend to take a picture with the bugs." ”
"Group photo? I don't know what to say. But he didn't want Fred to say this, and walked out of the captain's room.
Strange, Locke felt that he had not offended Captain Fred in any way, and at this time Hughesbill had had enough, handed over the rudder to the deputy captain, and walked over and said: "It's none of your business, it's that guy who has something wrong with his own brain, and many people on the ship know it, that guy is a supporter of the so-called non-self theory, and thinks that bugs may bring new disasters to mankind." Cut, it's a new disaster, it would be nice to be able to solve the current disaster, insane, it's about half an hour away, so that guy must have gone back to his room and read his Bible. ”
"A new catastrophe...... Locke glanced up at the sky, in fact, only the sea they are in now enjoys the sunshine in the whole world, and there are other ...... The clouds catalyzed by the United Earth Government have not yet lifted.
The sky is sprinkled not only with sunlight, but also with the light of bright "nebulae", which are remnants of a nuclear explosion that are said to last for about a few months before dissipating. It is said that in some places, the temperature has risen by three to four degrees, even under the cover of thick clouds.
Only here, whether it is thick clouds, the light and heat of the nebula, a large number of "cargo", or "superfluous" islands and reefs...... It all seemed to fall into a huge, bottomless mouth.
"What do you think? Isn't it to see Worm Island? Look, it's already on the horizon, I'll take you up to find the bugs later. I'm telling you it's a pretty exciting thing, you can't imagine that those bugs are as long as a train, and that huge pincers can bite off a mountain, and that the nails are as hard as bullets, and that if you're brave enough, I'll take you to climb on them, don't worry, as long as you don't attack them, they won't pay attention to us. Think about it, how many beautiful girls can be deceived by taking out such a majestic photo. And ah......"
Hughesbiel was still gushing, and not far from the sea, a lonely, still slightly green island had already revealed its face.
In the center of the island, on the not too tall but prominent peak, more than a dozen fleshy tentacles stand like plants, and there are huge "flower plates" growing on them.
"Sir, I have a question?"
"Huh? Ask? ”
"Are these things really from our country M?"
"The devil knows the way." (To be continued......)
