Volume 1 The End of the World Chapter 003 The Supermarket at Sea

Exhaustion is not a reason, after being out of the army for a long time, the sensitive nerves are blunted.

Ye Te didn't expect to sleep for so long, more than a right time. On the moving sea, the sun was shining brightly, and you could tell that it was the middle of the day. I remembered that I got a new diver's watch yesterday, and when I raised my wrist to see it, it was a few minutes away from twelve o'clock at noon. Outside the window, the wind was calm, the speed of the ship slowed down, presumably in order to save fuel, converted to a diesel engine propulsion.

"Good morning! Oh, good afternoon. Toothbrushes, towels in the bathroom, let's go wash! ”

Lao Ye's kind smile melted all the anger of getting up.

Lifting the blanket from the cover at some point, Yat sat up from the sofa and nodded frustratedly. For more than a day, the small life was handed over to a person who had known him for two hours, and he was indignant at himself.

"Eat whatever you want at noon, and I'll make you Christmas dinner in the evening."

Lao Ye is not like yesterday with the smell of alcohol all over his body, and he has the tone of being a father and a mother. Ye Te really wanted to pull his collar and ask: If it goes on like this, how can Lao Tzu pull the trigger? Dejectedly, he walked to the bathroom.

"Your escape is basically successful."

The cabin was cleaned up, and there was not a single piece of garbage or a bottle of wine to be seen. Yat washed up and sat down at the table. Lao Ye smiled and announced: "In the past twenty-seven hours, we have run more than 600 nautical miles. This is already off the coast of Mexico, and three hundred nautical miles to the east can land in Puerto Vallar. ”

After drinking a glass of water, Yete poured milk and said, "Colombia is still far away. ”

For him, the escape will never be successful, he will never be able to return home, and he will never be able to return to normal life. He just wants to take one step at a time, not thinking about the future. At noon, it is also very hearty to eat, two steaks, two grilled sausages, a plate of dumplings, a plate of fried eggs, and a plate of fruit salad. Apparently, a certain father based on his consumption yesterday made a big production.

Lao Ye said softly: "If you change your mind, I have a little relationship in Mexico, maybe I can help." Anyway, I'll be dead by then, and I'm not afraid of being implicated. Ye Te said indifferently: "Thank you, I am used to relying on myself." ”

"What are your plans when you get to Colombia?" Lao Ye was earnestly concerned.

Yat hated this tone, and for the sake of the food on the plate, he reluctantly replied: "There is a friend there, who also works as a bodyguard, who is on Christmas vacation in Cali. ”

The domestic real estate boom, and there are a lot of foreign funds who want to share a lot. His employer, who is a descendant of a real estate developer, often takes him to meet with some investors, and he also knows many of his peers. A friend of the mouth, a mistress and illegitimate child who lives in Los Angeles to take care of his boss. I often practice shooting together, you teach me Spanish, I teach you English and Chinese, and the past two years have been relatively close.

"Cali? How did I come up with the idea of a powder dealer? Are you going to work for a powder dealer? ”

"I don't know, at least he can help me get a reliable fake passport."

"Colombia is too complicated, if you believe me, get a passport and go to Brazil. In São Paulo, I know of an underground hospital where cosmetic surgery is done very well and often calls for doctors from Seoul. After you have plastic surgery, spend some money and change your real passport to Brazil, and you are still a free man. Oh, I'll get you something. ”

Over the years, Yet has spent more time caring for others and less time being cared for. Lao Ye's enthusiasm, he was very uncomfortable.

Lao Ye hurriedly entered the bedroom, hurriedly came out again, put a bank card and a piece of paper on the dining table, and sighed: "This card, which is temporarily opened for navigation, is not in the property will." I'm dead, cheap banks. There are probably more than a million dollars in it, plus the cash on the ship, which is enough for you to regain your freedom. However, remember not to contact friends and relatives for three years, let alone return to your home country. The pursuit and pursuit of you in black and white is estimated to be relaxed in five years. ”

"Ahem......"

Yete's heart sank, and the milk went into his nose. Where to go, he is somewhat mentally prepared. At that time, one person dealt with more than a dozen gun-wielding thugs, and he had to protect his uneasy employer. Snatch a gun, almost shoot the head. After escaping, he knew he had no choice but to die.

Choked a few times, squeezed a smile and said, "Thank you, what do you say?" Oh, people are dying, so what's good...... CheapNo one can afford cheap banks. Hehe, it's useful to land on the shore. ”

He doesn't particularly value money. Since childhood, the family has been wealthy, and there is no need for food and clothing. After studying abroad, his employer had a similar smell to him, and gave him the treatment of a company executive, including food, housing, transportation, and entertainment. The annual NBA season ticket, playoffs, and Finals tickets alone are no less than $100,000. Therefore, I don't regret it very much when I wipe my ass for my employer.

"When a man is dying, his words are good, and when a bird is dying, his song is sad!" Lao Ye recited word by word, and stood with his hands in his hands.

The voice fell, and there was silence in the cabin. The navigation alert sounded untimely, meaning there was an obstacle or vessel thirty nautical miles ahead of the route. Lao Ye moved quickly, and ran to the bridge with an arrow step. After looking left and right for a while, he rushed out of the deck again.

"It can't be a reef, right?" Yett was lucky. The radar shows that there is an object ahead, but it can't show what it is?

Lao Ye denied: "The reef will not be arranged regularly. Moreover, there are quite a few moving objects. ”

"Alas!"

Standing in front of the radar display, Yat sighed heavily. Staring at the monitor, he muttered, "So many boats stopped, it must be the coast guard searching." "I can't hide from what I should have, I really have to face it, and my hands tremble involuntarily.

Lao Ye looked at the telescope on the outer deck facing the sky, looked at the four angles of east, west, north and south for several minutes, and entered the cabin with a relaxed smile: "It's not a search, if so many ships are intercepted and searched, helicopters are indispensable in the sky." You see, there is not a single bird in the sky. ”

"Shipwreck rescue?" Yett tapped the display.

Lao Ye said incomprehensibly: "If my intuition is accurate, I should encounter smuggling and transshipment." In the past, I heard from my seafaring friends that from Baja California to Central America, he deviated from his usual route and sailed hundreds of nautical miles deep in the Pacific Ocean. If you encounter a large-scale fleet build-up, there is only one possibility, and that is the legendary 'supermarket at sea'. ”

The sea route is similar to the land road, with more boats on the main road, less on the small road, and no boat on the wild road. The first two are customary sea routes, and fleeing naturally chooses wild roads, and Ye Te didn't expect that there would be "supermarkets" on wild roads.

"Haha...... We actually ran into it? Oh, Christmas, magical day! Lao Ye excitedly raised his head to the sky and opened his arms. The stinking of seafarers, the strange things that happened at sea, like Columbus discovering the New World. If someone asks for an explanation, it can't be more cool.

Smugglers' supermarkets with fewer armed guards? Ye Te frowned, only afraid of extraneous branches. Instead of pandering to Lao Ye and asking some curious questions, he said, "Let's go around." ”

"No, you don't." Lao Ye shook his head happily, "People's radars are more advanced than us, so they saw us earlier." If we change course now, it means that we are hostile, which is the rule of the sea, and it is easy to cause misunderstanding. Besides, those armed speedboats with a high speed of 50 or 60 knots cannot escape at such a distance. Running the same way, but it is safe. Smuggling and transshipment is the exchange of containers and goods between ships, and people are not afraid of you seeing it, and you can't see anything, which is no different from port transshipment. ”

Yet was convinced, nodding in agreement. After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong again, and wondered: "It seems that some ships are anchored and stopped, how can they anchor and stop ships?" ”

The sea is fluid, and the ship is moored, relying on the heavy anchor to rub against the bottom of the water. That's in the port or near the shore, and the deep sea can't anchor to the end, and it can't stop at all. And a number of suspected ships on the radar did not move.

"Haha, sea and land. Soldiers know how to sail! Lao Ye was waiting for him to ask a question, smiling happily, "In the sea, it is not a critical situation, and the boat usually does not come close to stop the boat." The water depth is so far from the shore, and if it is shallow, it can be a thousand meters. How long can the anchor chain of a ship anchor be? The longest is 12 sections, each section is about 27 meters, a total of 300 meters up and down. That is, at a depth of more than 100 meters, the ship cannot be stopped even if it is anchored. However, those ships stopped. What does that mean? It shows that this is a specially selected anchorage, and there is probably a sunken island below, and the water depth is fifty meters. That's why I decided it was a supermarket on the sea. People dare to anchor so many ships, premeditated, organized, planned, and consider all aspects in advance. ”

Yete turned to secretly rejoice that it was perfectly correct to "kidnap" an "old captain". If you go alone, if you don't get caught by the coast guard, you may be killed by smugglers.

"The prerequisite is that the weather is calm and the sea is calm for the transfer of goods between ships to take place. Don't underestimate this, if there is a wind and waves, even if there is a small wind and waves, there is a risk of collision between the ships and when docked together. The crane for transshipment of goods is more difficult to control, and it is easy for the goods to be destroyed and killed, and no fool does this kind of thing. A few years ago, the Lao Mi Navy used a new crane to transfer more than 100 containers in the one-meter-high waves, and it was also declared to be a great invention. ”

"No wonder, it's a good day. Oh, what are they smuggling, powder, weapons? ”

"There must be powder, weapons, and even slaves. You can say what you want. Otherwise, it is not called a supermarket at sea. I'd like to buy some fuel with them if it's convenient for me. The largest transaction volume is some seemingly ordinary goods. You know, there is an embargo in Western countries. Previously it was mainly against the old Soviet, and now it is against us and some so-called rogue states. This kind of embargoed materials are extremely profitable, and the content can be extensive, high-precision machinery, precision instruments, computer chips, synthetic materials, ......"

Lao Ye introduced the "Sea Supermarket" like a salesman, gushing endlessly. Ye Te's face is a good student, and he asks questions from time to time. Lao Ye was relieved, and the more he talked, the more he became more and more devoted. It may be that he is preparing to talk about sailing with his son, and he will talk about it in one go. Sometimes it digresses too far and Yet has to pull it back.

“…… Powder dealers, human traffickers, arms dealers, just the surface. Behind the scenes, the biggest players in the maritime supermarket are various countries. The total amount of smuggling each year, the contribution of the national level, accounts for at least ninety percent. Therefore, some economists joke that the maritime supermarket is the real free trade. What do you think, why does our country buy so many US bonds? It's forced, it's money that can't buy what you want to buy. It's like, only KFC is open to you in L.A., and other restaurants won't let you in. No matter how rich you are, you still eat junk food. What is money? Banknotes, no matter what dollar or what dollar. In my eyes, it's just a blank strip ......"

"Who is the organizer?"

"It doesn't have to be a person, it could be a country, an organization, or even the CIA."
