Chapter 45: At Sea

To be honest, it wasn't until the Tenacity entered the open sea that Aaron found himself a little seasick, especially the strong winds and waves in the Atlantic, and a one-meter-eight man made Huang faint.

"Hey, man, would you like some seafood porridge?" Jonah knocked on Aaron's door with a small iron pot.

"Come in! The door is unlocked! ”

When Jonah enters, he finds Aaron holding a trash can and throwing up a Glock pistol while disassembling it.

"What are you doing here?"

"Try to divert your attention! I don't think it's so bad! ”

"Hey, listen, man, there's no need to do this, you just have to get through the last few days, trust me, well, do you want some seafood porridge, that's what my grandma taught me!"

"Thank you, buddy!" Aaron didn't shirk either, picked up the small pot and drank the food down, then spit it out again.

"I might as well not eat it!"

"No, no, no, no, even if you spit it out, you have to eat, I'll make you a little more!"

After three days of tossing and turning, Aaron felt a little more comfortable, and the Tenacious was halfway through its voyage on the east coast of Africa.

"Aaron, quick, it's going to be lively soon!" Sanmantha and Laura dragged Aaron, who was lying in his room and pretending to be dead, onto the deck, only to find out that the Fortitude was approaching the shoreline.

"What is this for?" Aaron put on his tactical vest and hung 1911 in his armpit holster, looking at the coastline in the distance.

"Look!" Sanmantha handed the telescope to Aaron.

"What's that, pirate?" Aaron saw dozens of canoes loaded with various things paddling towards the Tenacity.

"Those are indigenous people, and they came to trade with us!" Laura explained.

"Deal?"

"yes, sell their food, handicrafts, and exchange them for some change or something!"

The Tenacious dropped anchor a few dozen meters from the shoreline, and the canoe immediately surrounded it.

"How are we going to communicate with them? Gestures? Or what sign language? ”

"They speak English!" Watch Aaron's unpleasant hacker boy come up from the cabin with a wallet in his hand.

"Well, do they charge pounds then? I will still brush the pos machine! Aaron nodded, indicating that he was taught.

"Hey, boss, do you want to see what's in stock?" On a canoe selling handicrafts, a black guy grinned and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth.

"What's the good thing, take it out and make me well! (Quake)"

Then the black guy pulled out a dozen unusually beautiful and realistic humanoid sculptures from the basket.

"Do you want it?"

Then, with the idea of exploring art, Aaron bought one. Then the little brother wrapped the sculpture in a wooden box and threw it up.

"Ten pieces!"

"Here you go!" Aaron rolled up the banknotes and threw them down, seeing that there was a business here, many aunts and grandfathers also shouted at Aaron.

"Don't rush, don't rush, take your time!"

In the end, Aaron bought fifty large coconuts, half a wild boar, a necklace made of various animal teeth, and a skirt woven from local homespun cloth.

"Why did you buy a dress?" Sanmantha asked curiously, carrying a tribal ornament.

"Well, they sell it there, and then I bought it, it's a bit of a hassle, and here you go!" Aaron scratched his head and handed the dress to Sanmantha.

"Well, I'll wear it then?" Sanmantha happily gestured with her skirt.

"Wear it, I'll go find Jonah to deal with these coconuts!"

"Hi Jonah, I bought some coconut, can you handle that?" Aaron ran to the kitchen.

"Bring it in, I'll cut it for you!"

"Uh, it's hard to take!"

"Dude, you must be teasing me, you can't hold a coconut?" Jonah was confused.

"Come out and have a look!"

"How much did you buy?" Looking at the pile of coconuts, which were more than a man tall, Jonah's eyes straightened.

"I bought fifty of them and spent more than three hundred!"

"Did you finish eating alone?"

"Everyone, I'll just buy one if I'm alone, this is for everyone!"

"Oh, then we'll have to figure out what to do with it!"

At lunchtime, Jonah brought out the coconut cake he had made and declared that Aaron had bought the coconut, giving Aaron a wave of prestige.

Even Reyes, who is usually cold to everyone, expressed his gratitude to Aaron because her daughter loves to eat that cake.

And the tooth necklace or something, Aaron put it away, ready to go back to make a gift for Holmes.

After leaving the small supermarket at sea, the Tenacity continued south, and Aaron, after overcoming seasickness, began to help out on the ship.

You must know that although the Tenacity is only an ocean-going ship less than 100 meters long, although the Sparrow is small and has all five organs, the five decks alone occupy three floors of various instruments.

"Aaron, put the sonar down!"

"Aaron, hold on to the antenna!"

"Aaron, wait a minute, Aaron has fallen into the sea, put the ladder quickly!"

"Are you alright?" Looking at Aaron, who had become a soup chicken, Sanmantha looked embarrassed, and just as she was about to measure the hydrological data, she asked Aaron to throw the detector into the water, but she didn't notice that the cable was entangled in Aaron's legs.

"It's okay, your instruments are okay!" Aaron took off his soaked shirt and took it in his hand and squeezed the water.

"Isn't it in good shape!" Laura, who came to see the excitement, couldn't help but flirt as she watched Aaron walk around the deck shirtless.

"It's okay, I insist on eight glasses of water a day, that's why I'm so strong!" Then Aaron couldn't help but put on a pose.

"Mr. Bodybuilder, please go down again, we will set up a few buoys in the water later!" Sanmantha unceremoniously interrupted Aaron.

"Okay! Wrap it up on me! ”

After setting up the buoy, Aaron was about to swim back to the dinghy, but he didn't swim far when he felt something hit his ass.

"What the hell!" Aaron immediately touched the diving knife hanging from his thigh with one hand, and turned around to realize that it was a dolphin.

"What the hell!" Aaron waved his hand to get the dolphin to leave, but instead of leaving, the dolphin played with Aaron.

"Aaron, hold it off, quick, Sanmantha, get that camera!" Dr. Whitman was overjoyed to see it and asked Sanmantha to bring a knapsack camera with a latch.

"Quick, Aaron, tie it up, be careful, not too tight, not too loose!" After carefully directing Aaron to strap the camera to the dolphin, Rose dropped a small marker.

"I thought we were an archaeological team!"

"We're a scientific team, our main business is archaeology, and Uncle Ross published a report on marine pollution last month! It's all experts! ”
