Chapter 44: The Expedition Team

"Thank you so much, Hank!" Hanging up the phone, Ross breathed a sigh of relief, just now he asked an old MI6 friend to see if he could check Aaron's identity, and then after a while, an old MI6 friend called, saying that Aaron's information was in the Special Operations Division of Scotland Yard. Ross let down his guard.

"Aaron!" After seeing Laura go to pick up the arrows he shot, Rose beckoned, and then said: "We are on this voyage, if there is any accident, I hope you can stand up, after all, such a big ship, I can't take care of it alone!" ”

"Okay, Mr. Rose, if this is the case, I will not sit idly by, and I personally suggest that you should be equipped with more weapons and supplies on board!"

"I see, I'll have Jonah come over and bring something from here when the time comes!"

After using his skillful firearms skills to gain a wave of favor with Laura, Aaron returned to Baker Street, first saying goodbye to Sherlock Holmes and Watson, Aaron put on his backpack, flagged down a cab and rushed to the port of London, where Rose's Tenacity completed its final replenishment.

For Aaron's arrival, except for Dr. Whitman and Sanmantha who expressed a warm welcome, everyone else on the boat just nodded and signaled, and Aaron didn't take the initiative to kneel and lick with a hot face and cold ass, so he made a brief self-introduction, and then followed Sanmantha to the room assigned to him by Rose.

"The Tenacious is an old ship, but Captain Ross is a very precious ship, it takes months to maintain the ship every few years, the emergency lights, and the wall paint, are all up to date, and there is a huge cold storage on the lower deck, and a trawl net in the stern! When the time comes, we can eat fresh marine fish anytime, anywhere! ”

At first, Sanmantha tried to carry Aaron's bag, but found that she couldn't lift it at all, and the slightly embarrassed girl began to talk to Aaron about the tenacity.

"Here we are, this is your room, mine is opposite, and next to you is Laura's room, of course, if you want to knock on the door at night, Laura won't necessarily open it!" Sanmantha said with a smile as she turned on the lights in the cabin.

"And what if I want to knock on your door?" Aaron had a wicked smile on his face.

"I usually sleep with an eye patch and earmuffs at night, and I can't hear you knocking on the door!" Sanmantha's face flushed slightly.

"I heard that you and Laura are still classmates!" Aaron changed the subject as he packed his bags.

"We are not only college classmates, but when we were in boarding school, we were classmates and best friends...... Is that a gun? As soon as Sanmantha finished speaking, she saw Aaron take out an M27 from his backpack that was in a disassembled state.

"Well, yes, after all, we're passing through Malacca, and there are pirates there!"

"Oh, speaking of which, Jonah has a shotgun in the room as well, uh, the Tenacity and a harpoon, you know? I've heard that Captain Ross has used it to hit sharks! ”

"yes, I'd love to try that harpoon!" Aaron said as he ripped his tactical vest out.

"I'd like to try it if I could!"

As soon as Aaron put things away, Sanmantha took Aaron to the Fortitude again.

"The kitchen is here, hey Jonah, what do we have to eat this time!" Sanmantha asked, leaning against the kitchen window.

"I learned sashimi, do you want to try it?" Jonah Maiava, a chubby chef with a moxican head, walked out of the kitchen with a thin plate of fillets.

"Who is this?"

"Hello, Aaron Keener, an amateur archaeologist on the way!" Aaron held out his left hand.

"Jonah, the chef of the Fortitude, worked in the Navy!" Jonah wiped his hands with his chef's robe before shaking Aaron's hand.

"Soldiers?" Jonah felt the calluses on Aaron's hands.

"SAS did it!"

"Wow, you're a master!" Jonah smiled, then pointed to the fish on the table.

"Do you want to taste it?"

After shopping in the kitchen, Sanmantha ran to the main control room of the Fortitude with Aaron, and met the hacker Alex Weiss, who is also one of the guys who is vaguely hostile to Aaron, as for the reason, do you want a man of unknown origin next to the girl you like?

But Aaron didn't care about this, he wasn't a bulldozer, and he couldn't walk when he saw a woman.

The two of them had not been spinning for a long time when a vibration was heard under their feet, and then a long whistle sounded.

"Quick, Aaron, set sail!" Sanmantha hurriedly pulled Aaron and ran up to the upper deck.

"Laura, quick, is there anything you'd like to say about your first adventure?" Sanmantha took a DV out of her pocket and aimed it at Laura Crawford, who was feeling the sea breeze on the side.

"Ah, I, I don't know, what should I say, I'm so happy at the moment!"

"Well, today is the first voyage of our future great archaeologist Laura Crawford, and this is a very monumental moment, and this video will be preserved by Sanmantha, that is, myself, and then sent out in the future!"

The route of the Fortitude is to choose to start from London, pass through the east coast of Africa, then enter the Indian Ocean, then take the Strait of Malacca into the South China Sea in the east, and then arrive at their destination - the Dragon Triangle, although it will be far and dangerous, but for the reason of exercising Laura, Rose still chose this route, for this, Rose is very well prepared, he and a white-bearded old man installed a base in the bow and stern of the Fortitude, which is used to hold harpoons, in addition, Ross also prepared two weapons cases on boardThere were all kinds of smoke grenades and stun guns, but weapons like submachine guns and rifles, Rose only kept them in the safe in the captain's room, and the keys were only for himself.

Then the only people on the ship who could have weapons were Aaron, Jonah, and Rose's concubine, Reyes, a policewoman from New York. Aaron asks Sanmantha and Laura if they want a pistol, but both of them refuse. Laura's interest lies in archaeology, and she wouldn't have touched a gun if her life hadn't been threatened.

"I can't take it!" Sanmantha was very interested, but she was embarrassed to see the rifle stuffed in Aaron's cabinet.

"Wait until the open seas, I'll teach you!"

"Wow, that's great!" As a rich second generation, Shanmantha also went to the shooting range to play with guns, but only for pistols, and she still couldn't touch fully automatic military weapons.
