Chapter 185: Chaos and Turmoil (Part II)
Compared to the frightening steps of going deep into Asmantis, navigating through the inaccessible underground labyrinth was a leisurely stroll, and fifteen minutes later, Gu Tie and Aqiwei took the boat and made rapid progress in the turbulent underground waterway. Gu Tie sat at the stern of the boat at the helm, Aqiwei used a flashlight to illuminate the front, the sewer became quite narrow, and there was no longer electric lighting, the light spot of the flashlight was projected on the gray-brown canal, which could not illuminate the darkness five meters away, and every few tens of meters a branch waterway converged, pushing the water more urgently. "It's a bit of a fugitive, like the plot of Valjean in "Les Miserables" where Baron Marius escapes with Baron Marius on his back. Victor Hugo said that sewers are the conscience of the city, and I think Tokyo has a conscience, but unfortunately little Japan has no conscience. Sniffing the foul smell in the air, Gu Tie commented casually.
"Watch and don't get distracted. The woman scolded.
Twenty-six minutes later, the boat reached the end of the sewer, and saw the light from afar from the darkness growing rapidly from small to large, "Jump to the side." Gu Tie said, Aqiwei jumped lightly, landed on the high platform next to the waterway, and stretched out his hand to pull the Chinese up.
"Bang!" the fiberglass boat slammed into the iron lock at the exit of the waterway, breaking in two. Sewage gushes out of the outfall, and through the iron fence, you can see the pale gray sea of Tokyo Bay, countless ships crisscrossing and seagulls hovering in the clear blue sky. As Ryunosuke Oe said, this is a very hidden outfall under a cliff on the Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa, surrounded by rocks that are difficult to see from both the sky and land, and the only camera is not even plugged in.
A large ship was moored not far away, completely blocking the view from the sea, and the bow of the ship was painted in white paint in English and French, which was too far away to see. As the Japanese say, the 80,000-ton ro-ro cargo ship is waiting for the final cargo to board the ship. A long rope ladder hangs down the side of the gunwale, and there is no sign of people on the deck. The number of sailors on a modern container ship is surprisingly small, and it is normal for such a large ship with a captain to have no more than five crew members.
Gu Tie grabbed the railing, probed out and looked down, "It's about twenty meters high, the water depth below should be enough, but you have to jump a little to the left, pay attention to the reef." Politicians in Tokyo, which claims to be the first city in the world to implement environmentally friendly policies, have forgotten about the old sewage facilities......
"Japanese. Azivi commented briefly. She reached out and shook the thick iron railing: "The gap is not big enough to squeeze out, do you have props like a cutter?"
"I'm not a scavenger...... Gu Tie shrugged, "This fence gate can be opened, just pick the lock, I'll take a look...... Oh, the old-fashioned double ball lock, sure enough, is a product of the last century, rusted to the point that it doesn't look like it, but there have been traces of opening in recent months. Damn, the key must be on Ryunosuke Oe, and before he handed over the key, you beat someone to death, which is causing trouble. โ
"Pry it open. The Flower of the Rainforest instructed succinctly.
"Yes, sir. Gu Tie didn't say much, took the flashlight and unscrewed it, smashed the lens glass, took out a circular wire from it, broke it into two with repeated movements, and then spent half a minute poking open the ancient padlock. "Crunch Squeak...... The rusty fence door was pushed open, and the plastic bags, fast food boxes and other miscellaneous items that were blocked inside fell into the sea with a clatter, and the wreckage of the boat also tumbled and fell, and Chinese stuck out his tongue: "The Japanese will hate us to death." โ
Aqiwei looked at him: "You mean that in addition to destroying the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office, bringing down the quantum network, and blowing up Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, this major crime of polluting the environment is added?"
Gu Tie said angrily: "It's not like I'm going to blow up Chiyoda! Besides, isn't it only the small piece near the Xiaguan Metropolitan Police Department building that was blown up? It's much better than Hiroshima and Nagasaki!"
Aziwei said, "You're not MacArthur. Before she could finish speaking, she jumped lightly, fell straight down from the outfall, and drew a wonderful parabola into the sea. "That's the case again! Can't you be a little bit organized and disciplined? Really, it seems that it is necessary to let Lao Xiao give you ideological and political education, and see what a mentally strong and politically qualified soldier should look like......" Gu Tie nagged and pinched his nose and jumped down.
"Plop, plop!" The two of them fell into the sea one after another, moving their bodies in the gray water and swimming out of the water, "Poof!" Gu Tie spewed out the stinking sewage and wiped a handful of water on his face, "Bah, baba! Before leaving, I want to drink the Japanese footwashing water......
"Don't talk nonsense, there are still a few hundred meters to swim, don't move too much, beware of the wound, tell me when you have no strength, I will hold you." Aziwei said.
"Take care of yourself! really......" Gu Tie muttered and swam forward. Ryunosuke Oe provided them with a gray one-piece suit, and the surface material with a cavity provided enough buoyancy to float in the water without much effort, which made the Chinese ** who had not healed his injuries breathe a sigh of relief.
The two of them spent a few minutes swimming a distance of several hundred meters, and used the rope ladder to climb up the 10,000-ton freighter hand and foot, and climbed halfway to Gu Tie felt that his muscles were sore, and he had to stop and rest for a while. Aziwei shouted from above, "What's the matter? Don't you have any strength? Tie this rope around your waist and I'll pull you up!"
"No need!" Gu Tie angrily pulled the nylon rope away, gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
"Plop!" When he finally climbed to the side of the ship dozens of meters high, Gu Tie collapsed on the deck and spread his hands and feet and gasped, the flower of the rainforest held a pistol and watched vigilantly around, the top deck of the ro-ro freighter was painted with red anti-rust paint, which looked flat and empty, and there were no sailors to be seen on the bridge not far away.
After resting for a while, the two walked across the deck to the bridge, the captain's room was also empty, a beautifully decorated card was glued to the electronic rudder, the black background was covered with golden olive branches, and a line of small print read: "This ship is unmanned, just enter the destination coordinates in the control panel (GPS coordinates are attached below)." The vessel has passed all the port and customs inspections, and can sail unhindered to the predetermined location in the open sea, where there will be next instructions, it is a great honor to serve you, Mr. Gu Tie, all colleagues of the Black Olive Branch are always at your disposal. This card will be destroyed after reading, - be careful, it is very hot. โ
Seeing this, Gu Tie threw the card out as if he was electrocuted, and the black card burst into a cloud of sparks in the air, and the golden flame briefly formed a circular olive branch shape, burning the paper into ashes before it landed. "If I look a little slower, wouldn't I burn my fingers?" complained ......Chinese, and while he remembered the line of coordinates, he quickly opened the control panel, activated the autopilot, and entered a string of numbers into it. Regardless of the fact that it is an 80,000-ton giant ship, the autopilot system is no different from the cars on the street, and as the "confirm" button is pressed twice, the two heavy oil steam turbines begin to start preheating, making a loud roar.
This is Aziwei coming in from outside the door, "Walking around, there is nothing suspicious." Where is the destination? Africa?"
Gu Tie frowned and said, "This coordinate doesn't feel right, wait until I find the map and take a look......" He pointed his finger on the screen and drew dots, calling up the global nautical chart system of the control panel, and calling up the location of the coordinates, "Damn! Kagoshima?" He pointed to the screen and exclaimed, "Didn't you go out of the Sea of Japan at all! What does this mean?"
The GPS coordinates are located 270 nautical miles away from the current location, in the middle of the Tanegashima Strait in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, which is still within the scope of Japanese waters.
"I see. The Flower of the Rainforest suddenly laughed and pointed to the nameplate on the glass of the captain's room: "This ship is not the end of the line, it is just a relay ship, I believe that the official voyage began at the designated location, not now." โ
"What do you mean?" Gu Tie looked up and immediately realized. The nameplate reads: "Ro-Ro Freighter 'Chickpea Flower': Displacement: 78,990 tons, Registered in Colรณn, Panama, Launched: March 16, 2041, Standard Crew: Three." Ryunosuke Oe said that the ship that sent them to Africa was called the Old Man of the Sea, and it was not the cargo ship at all.
At this time, the pointer of the power reserve gauge entered the green zone, the clutch automatically put gear, the windlass rolled up the anchor chain, the steam turbine drove the propeller to rotate slowly, stirring the turbid seawater, and the "Chickpea Flower" freighter sounded three whistles and officially set sail outside Tokyo Bay. The Port Authority signaled the green passage to the vessel, which was advertised as "temporarily moored to tidy up the towing belts of cars", and sent a light and radio message wishing the trip a smooth sailing.
"The flight takes fifteen hours. It's really a slow ship......" Gu Tie glanced at the numbers on the control panel, leaned back in the swivel chair and stretched, spun around a few times with his feet, squinted at Aqiwei and said: "There is so much time to kill, shouldn't we have a good talk?" Let's talk about the ultimate topic of the universe and life, people should be so motivated in life, you say yes? The captain's room must have good wine and a video of "Die Hard", and more importantly, a large comfortable bed! If the movies and TV I've watched don't lie to me...... Hey hey ......"
"That's right, you should have a good rest, don't force it, your body has 15% of the weight of the new parts, and it will take a long time to run in. Aqiwei said lightly, "I'm on duty here, you go to sleep, don't drink, don't smoke." Don't forget to take a shower and change your clothes, don't catch a cold. โ
"But, but......" Gu Tie leaned over with a salivating face, and looked at the woman with a blank face: "I can't sleep alone......"
"Get out!"
โ...... Good. โ
