Chapter 971: He Came From the Water
Although the scale of the Water Tiger Camp is comparable to that of the base, in one camp, as soon as there is any trouble, the entire camp will soon know.
So before noon, the news that the red ghosts were coming to negotiate in the evening had already spread throughout the camp.
People are speculating about what kind of person the red ghost is.
"I've heard that the red ghost wears a mask all year round, because he is ugly and has low self-esteem, and if anyone unmasks him, he will kill someone."
"The Red Oni is a murderer, and it is said that he slaughtered the people of a camp and ate women and children."
"Where did you hear this, he is the concubine of the woman in the Xuan Ming Department, not as mysterious as you said, he is all held by that woman today, that is, the little white face, understand?"
On the edge of the dock, several men were drying their fishing nets while discussing it.
On a nearby boat, a man sat up, spit out a toothpick, and said angrily, "What are you talking about, like a bunch of old ladies, talking non-stop."
"If the red ghost dares to come, I will dare to throw him into the river to feed the water insect."
Several men who were drying the net hurriedly laughed with him: "Third brother, it's noisy to you, let's shut up, let's shut up."
The third brother stood up, shook his head, jumped out of bed, and plunged into the water.
After a while, a fat white river fish was thrown into the boat, and the third brother emerged from the water with a head like a fruit: "Go, make this fish into a fish."
"Yes, yes, let's go." A man put down his work, picked up the river fish and ran to the kitchen.
The third brother came out of the water, came to the boat with a water stain, and went straight to the bath.
This person's original name is unknown, and the people in the base are called Gao Laosan or Third Brother, he is one of Zhuo Hu's henchmen, and he successfully broke through the realm last year and achieved the advanced realm.
Gao Lao San has excellent water nature, can hold his breath in the water for a long time, is good at diving and swimming, and is also known as "water ghost" or "water monkey".
In the blink of an eye, it was night.
Lights were lit up in the Water Tiger camp.
Especially in the direction of Yingkou.
There were hundreds of warriors waiting for them.
Everyone looked nervous and looked at the black and oppressive wilderness.
However, the atmosphere on the other side of the dock was not so solemn, after all, no matter how you thought about it, a newcomer to the Red Ghost, it was impossible for him to take the dangerous waterway no matter what.
So here in the dock, the men who have worked all day lie on the boat, feeling the hull of the boat gently swaying, like a cradle, and at the same time pulling and pulling.
At this time, a man ran to the bow of the boat to pee, and when he was three feet away from the wind, he made a "huh" sound.
Quickly pulled up his trousers and pointed to the dark river: "Look, there are lights on the river."
Several men on the boat sat up.
"Xiao Wang, are you dazzled, who is still sailing on the river at night, I'm afraid it's not the birthday star hanging himself, it's a long life."
"Xiao Wang, I said earlier that if you need it, you will go to the Honggu in the camp, don't solve it yourself, now the nutrition can't keep up, right?"
Several men teased Xiao Wang up.
Xiao Wang was so anxious that his face turned red: "Get out, you animals, I'm serious."
Seeing that he was in a hurry, several men got up.
Look up the river.
There was really a point of light fluttering, like a ghost fire.
A moment later.
The dark clouds on the Jinjiang River were blown by the wind, the moon came out, and the silver-white moonlight fell on the surface of the river.
A small boat appeared in the moonlight.
A few men, you look at me, I look at you.
Then someone said, "That can't be a red ghost, right?"
"He's crazy."
"He actually took the waterway, and he chose to come at night?"
"Don't worry about it so much, report to the third brother quickly."
Soon.
Zhuo Hu received the message.
Red ghosts came from the water.
Zhuo Hu thought he had misheard.
"What, he came up from the water?"
This was somewhat unexpected.
Arguably, taking the waterway is the most dangerous.
Especially at night.
At night, the water insects in the river are particularly fierce.
Sometimes, even with the medicine, the stuff would still approach the pier.
This is especially true during the solar terms of the transition between spring and summer.
Now that the red ghost comes up from the water at night, I'm afraid I want to feed the water woman?
Although he thought so, Zhuo Hu still said, "Let Gao Laosan prepare, let him bring some brothers with good water nature, and welcome them to the river."
One of his subordinates nodded, and the message went.
In a short time, the dock was already brightly lit, and a dozen or so modified speedboats with anti-aircraft machine guns drove out of the dock.
On the first boat, Gao Laosan's eyes were cold and he looked at the river.
Right now.
He could already see a man standing in the boat opposite.
The other party wore a cloak and a mask, just like the rumored red ghost.
"Third brother, he's almost in the wormhole."
Next to Gao Laosan, someone whispered.
Gao Laosan nodded.
The so-called "wormhole" is the most densely populated area of the Jinjiang River, and when something passes over their heads, hundreds of giant beast parasites will attack wildly.
There are hundreds of "wormholes" like this in the Jinjiang River, and only people like the Water Tiger Camp who have been walking on the river for many years can know the location of these "wormholes".
Now, the Red Oni's boat is going through a "wormhole".
Gao Laosan could already foresee that in a few moments, the river would boil, and then hundreds of water worms would frantically attack the boat.
One bad is the end of the ship's capsizing and death.
But after a while, the river was still quiet, and even the undercurrent disappeared.
The red ghost's boat was in no danger and had already passed through the center of the Jinjiang River.
"How so?"
"It doesn't make sense."
"Why did the water worms in the river attack him?"
"Does he also have a secret medicine to drive away the corpse of the water woman?"
The people on the boat were talking nonsense, and some of them were not looking good.
"Shut up!"
"What's the panic, maybe the water woman has moved, it's not for nothing." Gao Laosan spoke to reassure.
And then he said.
"The water lady doesn't work, so let's come."
"Hit me, sink his ship for me!"
"I'll see how he gets ashore to negotiate."
Before people could respond, they heard the sound of water beside the boat.
Someone looked under the boat, and saw that the river was flowing sharply, and because the current was too fast, it formed white foam.
The white foam swirls round and round on the river like a ribbon, and it is actually a whirlpool.
"Whirlpool!"
"How can there be a whirlpool!"
The Jinjiang River is not the sea, and although there are undercurrents in the river, I have never seen a whirlpool on the surface of the river, let alone in the waters near the dock.
But now, a huge vortex appeared below Gao Laosan's dozen or so speedships.
Driven by the current, these fast ships all swirled with the river, and the boats collided with each other, and people kept screaming and falling off the boats.
At this time, who can still take care of the red ghosts, all crying fathers and calling mothers, the voice is so loud that Zhuo Hu in the camp can hear it.
Zhuo Hu stood on a terrace and watched as the whirlpool on the river on the other side of the dock swallowed up a dozen of his speedboats, which either sank into the water or stuck upside down on the water.
There were people everywhere in the water, and then someone exclaimed, "There's something in the water!"
