Before boarding that pier, Chen Jianhong had never felt so deeply that life was so beautiful.

Especially when he had just finished a plate of barbecue, followed by a big glass of cold beer, it was moving...... Or the tears that hurt in the back of the head almost fell out of the eyes.

Sure enough, this is called living!

Those bad days are over!

And at this moment, Chen Jianhong finally understood why Sun Yuechi was not the manager.

I knew that the life of the alliance was so comfortable, and he shouldn't be the captain of the ship!

But understanding is understanding.

When he had the chance to meet again, he still had to punch the guy in the face.

to avenge these two and a half months of hard days!

Although it was morning, it was just right time for dinner for the crew of the Dolphin, who had reversed day and night.

A plate of barbecue had just been shown, and a girl in a waiter's uniform brought another plate.

Looking at the plate of oily barbecue, Chen Jianhong couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What kind of meat is this?"

The players at the same table laughed and said, "Trash-kun's tail!"

Chen Jianhong was stunned.

「? What's that?"

Another player next to him reached out and slapped the mouthy guy on the back of the head.

"He doesn't understand that, cough ...... It's just a normal lizard tail."

"Oooh......"

Listening to the explanation of the shelter resident, Chen Jianhong nodded blankly, then reached out and picked up a skewer of barbecue, put it to his mouth and wiped it.

Although it sounds a little strange, it is normal compared to their food some time ago......

The entire beach is filled with the smell of barbecued meat, exotic ingredients, mushrooms and berries from the rainforest, and exotic scented leaves.

The survivors and crew members of the Dolphin grabbed the barbecue and beer, and the gobbling up looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, which was distressing to watch.

"Thank you so much!" A middle-aged woman with a haggard face held Sisi's hand with tears in her eyes, and her choked voice carried sincere gratitude, "Until yesterday, we thought we were dead, and if I hadn't met you, I really don't know how long I would have lasted......

"It's okay, it's over." Patting the back of her hand gently, Sisi said softly.

In fact, judging from the value of their suffering, the survivors of the Federation of the Southern Islands really did not brag.

Before this war, they did end the waste to a certain extent and lived a rich, civilized life in a relatively closed environment.

In comparison, the wastelanders in other parts of the continent of Middle-earth were much more miserable.

For example, Qingquan City.

Before the Coalition arrived, most of the survivors there had never eaten a decent meal in their lives, and the paste and mushy of the barley bears were the daily routine for most people, and only the slave owners, merchantwomen, mercenaries, and evil eyes could live a few days.

But she doesn't accuse them of hypocrisy.

Regardless of which god the suffering is real, it may vary in severity, but there is no distinction between the nobler and the lower.

At least it seemed to her.

Looking at the group of survivors who were gobbling up, Tail raised his right hand to look into the distance, with a satisfied smile on his face.

This eating broadcast looks too decompressing.

"Oh! Eat more, you're welcome! Anyway, it's a treat for Brother Fangka! 「

Fang Chang, who happened to be passing by, glanced at this guy and reminded him in a friendly way.

"You're welcome, anyway, it's the money of the Baiyue Strait Development Company."

「giao?!「 Tail looked at him in surprise. "I thought you were in for a treat!"

Fang Chang smiled faintly.

"How is that possible, I am that

Do you want to do good with your own money?"

Tail looked in amazement at the guy who said this without any danger.

"Yikes! How the hell does the heartless man, the lovely Miss Dory, fall in love with you!"

Fang Chang thought seriously for half a second.

"Possibly...... The earth is more discerning?"

Tail looked at him in surprise, his mouth open, but he couldn't say a word.

Boy!

Is this the strong?

How did you manage to pretend to be so natural?

……

In just ten minutes, who was showing off most of the barbecue on the long table.

As for the scallops, conch and oysters, no one touched them at all.

Actually, it's no wonder.

In the past two months, they have eaten the most of these things in the sea, and now they are afraid that they will want to vomit when they see seafood.

Hungry and well-fed, people sat on the beach, some looked at the sea and sang, some lay in a large shape, and some simply took a nap on the beach.

The boss of the Yiren, who had been busy for a while, finally brought the signature dish of the Yiren Tavern - French fries before the guests fell asleep.

I saw him carrying two rattan baskets in his hands, running to the beach with a happy face, and pouring the fries on the card table where he had just cut a stack of roast meat like a pig.

"Here comes the fries!"

Smelling the tempting fragrance of carbs, everyone looked at the golden yellow of the mountain, with a hint of longing in their curious eyes.

It feels like it's more fragrant than barbecue!

But they couldn't eat anymore, and many of them couldn't even move their legs when they sat on the ground.

Chen Jianhong, the only one who was quite reserved, also cast a curious glance at the pile of golden strips of food.

"What's that?"

Fang Chang, who walked next to him, said with a smile.

"Fries, a special treat here, try it?"

Listening to him, Chen Jianhong had already stretched out his hand, picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

After a long time, he wiped his greasy hands on the cloth,

Looking at Fang Chang, he said with emotion.

"Unbelievable...... How did you come up with the idea that you could make so many tricks out of food?"

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"It's just a little bit, when you go to Dawning City, I guarantee that you can do it three times a day in the morning, noon and evening for 365 days."

Chen Jianhong had an expression of disbelief.

But seeing the determined eyes of the guy in front of him, and thinking of someone who was homesick in Dawn City, he unconsciously believed half of it.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the beach in the distance, followed by an exclamation.

"Boat!"

"From the east!"

"Federation patrol boats! Damn it!"

Hearing that exclamation, the people who had been relaxing a second ago got up from the beach in a panic, couldn't even pick up their shoes, and limped towards the beach.

It can be seen that the navy of the Federation of the Southern Islands has tortured them enough during this time that a speedboat can scare them like this.

Looking at Chen Jianhong, who was reflexively reaching out for the gun, Fang Chang hurriedly grabbed him on the shoulder and patted him.

"Leave it to us."

With that, he gestured to his tail, and then got up and walked in the direction of the docks.

……

The speedboat quickly came to the edge of the dock, like a light leaf compared to the submarine Dolphin next to it.

And it's the kind that lands at the feet of elephants.

Just as Muda boarded the dock, he noticed the crowd on the shore standing up in panic and fleeing with their backs to him.

Among them were the drunken Dolphin rebels and the Coral City residents who had been taken hostage by the rebels.

Recognizing the identities of those people, the sailors who followed behind Mu Da were stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly towards the cards.

"Get out of the way of the rebels, we're here to save you—"

If you can mobilize those survivors, you might be able to subdue the rebel crew!

However, before he could finish speaking, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Enough, useless."

Facing the surprised eyes of his comrades, Mu Da shook his head and withdrew the hand that was on his shoulder.

"Who do you think they're hiding from like that? The rebels who sat with them?"

The sailor was speechless for a moment.

And just then, a roar came from the shore in response to his previous words.

"Who wants you to save?"

"Aren't you the ones who cut off the power to Coral City! Don't pretend to be okay there!"

"You murderers!"

"Get out of the Alliance's territory!"

It seemed to realize that there were only three Federation soldiers ashore, and everyone who had been fleeing a second ago stopped and looked at them standing on the dock with unkind eyes.

"Stay calm."

Mu Da gave the two subordinates a look, then looked at the group of people walking towards the dock, and shouted straight to the point.

"Someone asked us to send something—"

He was only halfway through his words when he suddenly stopped talking, and the whole person was stunned.

I saw that the two girls who had disappeared near the wreckage of the Ocean Current Power Station were walking towards this side on the beach not far away. The short-haired one of them waved his arms to greet them.

"Oh! Long time no see! 「

Not only Muda, but the two sailors behind him also had a ghostly expression.

When the group approached, Mu Da looked at the two of them in a daze. Swallowing his saliva, he said.

"You ...... What's going on?"

The tail grinned.

"It was almost gone, but I was lucky to catch a ride...... By the way, what about things?"

He stared at the guy for a long time before he looked at the speedboat behind him.

「…… Under the speedboat, we hung it with fishing nets."

"Oh! Thank you so much!"

Mission accomplished!

Tail excitedly ran in the direction of the speedboat, and couldn't wait to hand in the mission.

Without stopping her movements, Mu Da looked at Captain Fang and Captain Chen Jianhong who were standing in front of her, as well as Si Si and other players who had come over to watch the excitement, and said after a pause.

"We agreed that the ships of Vault 70 were not to receive supplies from you...... I need an explanation, what's going on with this submarine and these people?"

We didn't break the agreement," Fang Chang continued with a smile on his face, "This Mr. Chen, and those on the beach, they are now citizens of the Alliance."

Muda was stunned.

"What?"

Without waiting for Fang Chang to speak, Chen Jianhong, who was standing on the side, looked at the guy in front of him provocatively and said with a full spirit.

"That's right, Lao Tzu is now a citizen of the Alliance, can you move me to try?"

Mu Da didn't look at him, but stared at Fang Chang on the side, and said word by word.

"They are criminals, and what you call 'the suffering survivors unite' is to shield these criminals so that they can escape justice?"

Fang Chang looked at him and asked.

"And what crime did they commit?"

Muda stared at him intently.

"War crimes, they have to pay for the twelve cargo ships they sank and looted, and the crew who perished at sea—"

"Less blood spewing out there!"

An angry roar interrupted him, and Chen Jianhong stepped forward to stare at his eyes and continued through gritted teeth

Said.

"Sink twelve cargo ships? With this submarine? Tell me, how can we sink these twelve ships? Do you want to hit the bow of the boat?"

Before Muda could speak, the sailor on the side took out a wanted warrant from his arms.

"That's the proof—"

"It's not evidence, it's just a piece of scrap paper with some nonsense written and stamped."

Fang Chang glanced at the piece of paper, looked at the sailor holding the wanted warrant and continued.

"Occasionally, the Wastelanders will flee to our turf and become incognito, and then their enemies will come to the door to seek revenge, and for the sake of fairness, we will allow both sides to go to court in court, which is better than them fighting in the streets."

"If the plaintiff's evidence is conclusive that a citizen of the Union committed a serious crime against humanity in a distant land before he obtained citizenship, we will give him two options: to serve his sentence as a citizen of the Union to atone for his crimes, or to deprive him of his citizenship and leave the country for a limited time...... But the premise of everything is that we have to talk about the evidence."

"What was the weapon that sank those twelve cargo ships? Where are the coordinates of the attack, and what time of day is the attack...... At the very least, you need to submit this evidence to us and make sure that it is true and valid, not a few aggressive nonsense. 「

The sailor wanted to say something, but was pulled by Mu Da on the side.

"He's right, we really need these things."

At first he didn't think it was important, but now he had changed his mind.

Not only the sea monsters that appeared beneath the current power station and the signals from the telepathic interference devices, but also the unusual reaction of the officer who interrogated him.

It was hard not to wonder if there was a conspiracy behind it.

The sailor looked at the commander in astonishment, then at the men in front of him, and could only thrust the wanted warrant back into his bosom in dismay.

Fang Chang unexpectedly glanced at the NPC named Muda.

It seems that there are also sensible people here, not all of them are tenacious guys, and he then looked at Captain Chen Jianhong.

"To convince our neighbors, can you take them on a tour of the submarine? We will act as witnesses to third parties and take photographs of the "weapons" they have identified. Of course, it's okay to refuse, after all, you are not obligated to prove your innocence."

"No problem," Chen Jianhong looked at the three in front of him with a mocking look in his eyes, "You can visit at will, and I'm curious to see if it was our toilet plug that stabbed your cargo ship over, or if your eyes were on your buttocks."

The two sailors stared at him angrily.

Ignoring the guy's provocation, Mu Da looked at Fang Chang and nodded seriously.

"Thank you."

Siss, who was standing next to him, lowered his arms and raised his right hand.

"Let me be a Witness.

In addition to her, several players watching the excitement next to her also raised their hands with interest.

"Take me one!"

"I, I, I!"

"Good brothers, together!"

In the blink of an eye, more than sixty notaries were gathered at the scene, more than the crew of the Dolphin.

Although they were not interested in the dispute between the Federation and Vault 70, they were still very interested in visiting the nuclear submarine that had come from the prostitution.

Among them, there are some professionals with half a bottle of water, who plan to observe it with a learning mentality.

Fang Chang was not stingy, and simply waved his hand.

"I'll leave it to you."

In this way, the captain of the federal patrol and the captain of the submarine USS Dolphin returned to the submarine surrounded by a large group of players.

The job didn't take too long.

After all, as Captain Chen Jianhong demonstrated, this is just a cargo submarine, at most the power system is relatively advanced, and offensive weapons are not installed at all.

Following behind Chen Jianhong,

The more Mu Da looked down, the heavier his mood became, and he simply didn't say a word at all.

It's not just him.

The same was true of the two men who had been following him.

In particular, the sailor with the wanted warrant showed a stunned expression on his face after seeing the places where the survivors cultivated seaweed and synthetic nutritional paste.

Is this the ghost of the undersea as claimed by the Federal Navy?

They found neither weapons nor loot in its belly, just a group of Coral City residents and traces of struggling to survive in the harsh environment......

Who is it that makes these poor people live so miserably......

Mu Da involuntarily clenched his fists, and the wavering in his eyes had turned into irrepressible anger.

Anyone with even the slightest conscience can see that there are no crimes charged by the Federal Navy here, but rather evidence of another group of people.

He took these photos, then took a deep breath and looked at Captain Chen Jianhong next to him, and said in a solemn tone.

"I say this for what I and my men said before, you are the victims of this war, not some war criminals, at least for now, I don't see any ...... Evidence to prove the alleged incriminating evidence stated on that wanted warrant."

"I can apologize to myself, you don't have to speak for me, sir......" The sailor next to him muttered, took a step forward, and looked at Captain Chen reluctantly but sincerely, "I'm sorry, but I can't help it. I just follow the orders of my superiors...... Those damn guys, I don't know what they think. 「

"Let the past pass, I'm a citizen of the Alliance now." Chen Jianhong shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to mock them condescendingly.

In fact, he could understand that these people in front of him were not the initiators of the war, but ordinary people who were innocently involved in this dispute just like himself.

Looking at Muda, who was lost in thought, and the sailor who bowed his head in confusion, Sisi lowered his arms and slowly continued.

"It's not hard to understand, there are people who want this war to continue, they have to have a reason to continue. For example, an escaped attack submarine, a ghost of death lurking at the bottom of the sea...... It's there enough to send the majority of those who don't understand the situation into a panic, and become accomplices in the silence of this war, instigated by the panic, while also helping them cover up some things that are inconvenient for people to know."

At this point, she paused and continued in a half-joking tone.

"Actually, before you came here, I was wondering if you were going to hand over that probe to the Federal Navy...... I bet if you do, we'll never see you again, and you'll never get a chance to see it."

Mu Da was silent for a while, and said with a complicated expression.

"If it had been yesterday, I would have retorted to you, but now I don't really have much confidence...... Maybe you're right, we do have some internal problems."

To be honest, he did feel similar before.

Especially when he realizes that there may be internal ghosts in the navy. He had a vague feeling that he and his two other subordinates might be killed because they knew too much.

It is precisely because of this that he pulled the two behind him to collude with the confession, concealed some clues, and sent the detector here as soon as possible.

Looking at Mu Da with a complicated expression, Si Si continued to speak.

"How about a discussion?"

Muda looked at her.

"What are you discussing?"

Sisi continued.

"This area is the sea area you are responsible for patrolling, and the sailors who are on duty there are all your people, and they listen to you better than the federal naval command, right?"

"Of course, they're all lads from the crater, and we're all a colony." Muda replied without hesitation, then looked at her suspiciously, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Sisi curled the corners of his mouth and continued.

"Now that the available evidence is sufficient to prove the innocence of these crew members, how about you just turn a blind eye to the existence of this submarine and the crew members who have come ashore? as if he had not seen it. 「

Muda was stunned for two seconds, and looked at her with a smile and a smile.

"With such a large submarine and nearly 600 people, how can you make us turn a blind eye?"

"It's very simple," Si Si said with a slight smile, "We usually sink the Dolphin to the bottom of the sea, and we don't let it float unless we have to. Oh, by the way, if the Federal Navy comes, remember to say hello to us in advance. We'll keep it a little farther away and keep an eye on the people on the shore."

According to the available information, although the Federation of the Southern Islands does not have a decent army, it has at least a dozen warships cruising in the southern seas.

At present, the Alliance's foundation in the Baiyue Strait is not stable, although it has a strong army, but it does not even have a reliable anti-ship weapon, even if it really wins, in the end, it will have to fight and lose, but the survivors of this sea area have completely pushed the Torch Church to the side.

In contrast, they had a better option for the Torchists who had been aiming their guns at Vault 70 at Haiya Province.

In fact, it can be seen from the attitude of those gods towards the local survivors that the strength of the Federation of the Southern Islands is not weak, and it is even enough to pose a threat to the torch.

Otherwise, those people would have directly put their hands in it with great fanfare, just like they did with the survivors in the area of Geumhe City, and they would not have resorted to infiltration methods.

Mu Da stared at Si Si intently, and said with a slight frown.

"I don't understand...... Why don't you let me take this opportunity to clear his name?"

In his opinion, this is a good opportunity.

If more people could know what happened to the more than 500 survivors on the Dolphin, at least the 30,000 Coral City survivors scattered across the islands could win the support of the 30,000 Coral City survivors.

At that time, even the president will have to come forward and respond.

However, hearing his words, Sisi only smiled faintly.

"So, how are you going to clear their name? Do you put these pictures on the newspaper, or drop them on the table of the Federal Navy Command? This would not have worked, and even if it could prove that the Dolphin was a misunderstanding, it would not prove that the Currents Hydropower Station had nothing to do with Vault 10, and that it would not be possible to put those who were going to turn to the Torch Church on our side. 「

The latter is the key.

The fact that there are no people in the Federation of the Southern Islands who can see the truth clearly does not mean that they are necessarily on the side of the facts.

Haiya Province has everything they need for technology, resources, land, and so on.

To win over survivors in the southern seas, it takes more than just a piece of evidence, and it also needs to make the Baiyue Strait an acceptable alternative.

Whether it is on economic issues or on the issue of "slime fungus" control, if the Coalition can do better than the Torch Church, most people will re-align themselves even with the interests of the children in mind.

That's what the whole plan is all about.

Mu Da looked at her stunned, took a deep breath and said.

"And what are you going to do?"

Sisi said.

"Step by step, we have to pull as many people as possible onto our chariot before the evidence is revealed."

Muda asked seriously.

"For example?"

Siss: "Like the closest place to us, like your hometown...... A crater plagued by fresh water. We promised the Governor there to help them with the fresh water supply, and now it's time to give him an answer."

Muda looked at her with a strange expression.

"You've got it done? That's a 100,000-strong settlement...... Do you know how much fresh water is needed there? 「

Sisi said with a smile.

"I know, but so what? We are now standing on a land, a land that you once gave up and thought was impossible to conquer. Not to mention 100,000, even 10 million

People, 100 million ...... We have a way to supply it."

Muda swallowed.

"And how are you going to get fresh water? With a boat? 「

Sisi shook his head and said slowly.

"That's too much trouble, and we'd rather build a 200-nautical-mile pipeline...... Before, we didn't have a good solution, but now it's different, we have the Dolphin and more than 500 experts who are good at underwater construction, and they have a lot of experience in construction."

Reaching out and patting the stiff cabin on the side, she continued with a big smile on her face.

"All you need to do is turn a blind eye to them, and help us keep an eye on the Federation's fleet!"
