Qingchen didn't know how many people's nerves he had touched by setting off again to the Barents Sea.
Europe is not as orderly as at home, which makes Jindai and Kashima extremely passive within the country.
Here, no one is the home court. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can transport the entire organization here, and you don't have to worry about the advantages of playing at home in Kunlun and Jiuzhou.
Of course, the North American Time Walkers are still the ones who are the most influential. Unlike Kunlun's people who keep a low profile, a very large Time Walker organization has emerged, extending its tentacles into every corner of society.
This time, the pursuit of Qingchen can be called an unprecedented collaboration among time walkers.
And the protagonist who was targeted this time seemed to know nothing about it.
Of course, the pursuers didn't know that Qingchen didn't go to the Barents Sea at all...
According to normal thinking, after the crab fishing boat returns to the port to unload its cargo, it will definitely go out to sea again to catch crabs. Is there a problem with this? No problem.
But the only problem is that Qingchen never plays his cards according to common sense.
On the way back, he asked Zhang Jian a lot about the Nordic Time Walkers, so he knew that the biggest force here was the 'Future' organization.
Next are Kyushu, Kashima, and Jindai...
Among all the information, the only thing that surprised Qingchen was that the 'Future' organization's influence on the outside world could actually drive destroyers to move sideways on the sea.
Therefore, Qingchen immediately decided to change the route.
He came to Northern Europe this time in search of stormy weather. Only stormy weather can create huge waves of 30 meters.
But this season is not the only one with stormy days in the Barents Sea, there are also stormy days in the Greenland Sea.
So is there any problem with Qingchen convincing Zhang Jian to change his route to the Greenland Sea? No problem.
As for whether those people can fight, and whether He Jinqiu has the strength to destroy the Jindai and Kashima groups in the Barents Sea.
Qingchen didn't care at all.
According to Old John's plan, they will stop briefly in Oslo and then head to the Greenland waters.
Zhang Jian didn't ask Qingchen what he wanted to do, because Qingchen rented the boat...
It has to be said that Zhang Jian is a relatively kind person, and the king crabs from the previous trip were enough for the Arctic to survive this year.
Next year's crab boat maintenance fees, port management fees, and license usage fees were all paid, so the captain thought carefully for a long time and said to Qingchen: "It's because of you that I found the golden crab farm this year, but I think
This is not my own labor income, so I deserve it. Next year, I plan to start over and seriously study how to be a qualified captain as you said, so as to be in line with the spirit of freedom and adventure that my father said. You guys
You only need to throw out the harvest from the last trip, and then pay the money that Niedip and Old John deserve, and there is no need to pay me additional boat rental."
Qingchen said in his heart, dealing with romantic idealists...it really saves money.
Therefore, Qingchen actually only paid 30,000 euros to Old John and Niedep to become the temporary captain of the Arctic.
Qingchen sat leisurely on the deck scrolling through his cell phone.
Old John was at the helm in the cockpit. He was definitely not as good as Zhang Jian in driving the crab boat.
But after all, this is offshore, and he, a veteran sailor with more than 20 years of experience, can handle it.
At this time, Zhang Jian stood on the deck, looked at Qingchen who was scrolling through his mobile phone and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Qingchen glanced at him and said, "I'm renting a boat."
Zhang Jian: "???"
This time, even Yangyang was confused.
Are you still renting a boat? Isn’t there a boat?
Zhang Jian asked doubtfully: "Do you think this boat is too old? Do you want to rent a new one?"
"No," Qingchen said calmly: "I rent it to others, to people who are also going to the Greenland Sea..."
Zhang Jian almost vomited blood on the spot: "What do you mean, I rent it to you, and you rent it to someone else?"
"Yes, the boat is mine now. What happened if I rented it to someone else?" Qingchen asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem? No problem. You must also have second-hand dealers who rent houses here. The second-hand dealers rent the house first, and then
Subletting it out... is the same thing. Besides, I just need to reach the Greenland Sea, and I don’t mind if someone comes along."
Anyway, there would be no signal once the ship left the high seas, and he was not afraid of anyone reporting to Jindai, Kashima, or Mirai that he did not go to the Barents Sea.
Who would have thought that not only did he not go, he also rented the boat to others...
"We found it. We are traveling with 6 people, 4 men and 2 women, heading to the Janmartin Islands in the Greenland Sea," Qingchen said, "This is the same route as us."
Zhang Jian asked in a daze: "How much is the rent?"
Qingchen sat on the crab pot on the deck and grinned: "70,000 euros, simple food and accommodation, 7 days. However, we have to help them carry some equipment and luggage, and follow their instructions. Moreover, we
You also need to sign a confidentiality agreement.”
Zhang Jian stood dumbly on the deck, and this guy actually made another 10,000 euros?!
In fact, the price of renting a boat for a long voyage is lower than this, and you also need to help carry luggage, equipment, etc. This means that fuel costs, labor, food and accommodation are all included.
Yangyang glanced at Qingchen: "Aren't these people normal?"
How can anyone serious about chartering a ship pay such a high charter fee just to be able to specify a route? Moreover, they have to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Qingchen smiled and said: "It must be abnormal, otherwise how would I recover my capital?"
Yangyang raised his eyebrows: "Where did you publish the charter information?"
Qingchen said: "The smuggling channel on the dark web."
Yangyang couldn't complain anymore, so she posted information on the stowaway channel on the dark web. It would be amazing if the passengers who came were normal!
No wonder Qingchen’s ship, the Arctic Breaker, received such a high charter fee!
She looked at the young man in front of her, thinking to herself that he had such a brain and could do so many tricks.
Looking at Zhang Jian, he was beginning to doubt his life. It was estimated that his freedom and adventurous spirit would be shattered during the journey.
However, Yangyang was a little confused: "If we just go to the Janmartin Islands, it doesn't involve smuggling. It's a bit weird."
"Whatever, if it's a particularly crooked group, just throw them into the sea and get another group of passengers!" Qingchen said firmly.
"Wait a minute, your luggage handling equipment business won't include me as a labor force, right?" Yangyang raised his eyebrows.
Qingchen thought for a moment and said, "Friends should share joys and sorrows."
"It's enough."
In fact, Yangyang knows why Qingchen posted this information on the dark web. First, publish it elsewhere. You have to provide various documents for the ship, but the dark web does not require them. The stowaway ship cannot know the information of the stowaway.
At the same time, you can also hide your information from stowaways.
In this way, we can avoid being discovered that the Arctic has not headed to the Barents Sea.
Nearly half of the people on the dark web are criminals. If Qingchen wants to take advantage of others, he can just throw the passengers into the sea without any psychological burden.
After all, all Qingchen wants to do is recover the cost of renting the boat...
Qingchen looked back at Zhang Jian. At this time, the captain was already confused and didn't know how to respond to this matter.
But he thought of a question and asked Qingchen: "The Arctic's dormitory has bunk beds and can only accommodate 8 people. The captain's cabin can be provided for the two women renting the boat. I will also stay in the dormitory. But we
The total number is 5, the number of renters is 6, and the other one has no place to sleep.”
Qingchen smiled and said: "It's okay, I don't have to sleep."
Yangyang said: "I don't have to sleep either. This will give me an extra place."
Zhang Jian: "...Niubi."
He said these two words in Chinese, which is one of the few Chinese words he can speak.
In fact, Yangyang still needs to sleep, but she has been in the wilderness for a long time, so she is not very particular. She can use the field to stabilize her body and sleep for a while.
Not pretentious at all.
In fact, if she wasn't afraid of scaring Zhang Jian and the others, she might just go up to the sky and go to sleep. Anyway, after the force field is formed, the rain won't hit her, and it won't sway with the hull.
…
…
One day later, in the Barents Sea, Craig of the Alpine returned to the Golden Crab Farm under the guidance of coordinates.
Facts have proved that the location found by the Arctic this year was excellent. Even if it landed 179 cages at one time, there would still be enough king crabs left for the Alpine, Killer Whale, and Long Tail to have a full harvest.
Moreover, there are still huge crab swarms nearby.
According to Craig's idea, the Arctic will definitely return here and continue to look for nearby crabs to trap.
However, there was no trace of the Arctic at all on the vast sea.
Kandaikura stood on the deck and looked at Craig: "Didn't you say they would come back here?"
"I'm talking about common sense," Craig looked at the black muzzle in front of him and patiently explained: "But the Arctic is a bit weirder this year. Maybe it thought the crab farm had been fished, so it moved to a new place.
The Barents Sea is so big, there are many places where crab farms may occur. Let’s go to other places to look for them. We have the radar on. As long as they appear, we will definitely notice them, and maybe we can also find their floats.
, and then wait for them to show up.”
Crab boats look for other crab boats on the sea. One uses radar, and the other looks for sporadic floating boats on the sea.
However, the Alpine sailed in the Barents Sea for another eight hours, and no trace of the Arctic was found on the radar.
The Orca and the Long Tail appeared twice, and everyone was aimlessly looking for the Arctic...
Kamishirokura's patience was worn away bit by bit. He looked at Craig and sneered: "You port gangsters deliberately leaked the news. If Qingchen is found, I won't talk about it. If not, I will make peace with him."
You settle the bill."
Craig hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we will definitely find them. They are in this sea area, how can they go anywhere else?! There are no king crabs in other places!"
According to Craig, the purpose of the crab fishing boat is to catch king crabs!
…
…
late at night.
The Arctic slowly docked at Port 14 in Oslo. They turned off the ship's lights and waited quietly.
Old John, Zhang Jian, and Niedep were sitting on the boat, each holding a cigarette in his hand and smoking continuously like three chimneys.
This is the sailor on the crab boat who needs nicotine to stay awake all the time.
They looked at Qingchen and Yangyang: "What are you two doing?"
Qingchen drew on Yangyang's face with a stick burned into charcoal, and forcibly painted a beautiful little girl into a dirty little crab catcher.
Qingchen himself made random gestures, and then simply used the forbidden substance ACE-005 to make his face dirty.
Zhang Jian wondered: "Are you two afraid that others will recognize you? But if you two are the only ones with dirty faces and ours are not, isn't it a bit too deliberate?"
Qingchen looked at Zhang Jian: "Thank you for reminding me."
So, Qingchen pressed the three of them and disguised themselves.
He explained: "Our appearance is relatively easy to identify, so we need to disguise ourselves. After all, the person who rented the boat this time is not a fuel-efficient person."
At this moment, at the end of the alley in Port 14, two off-road vehicles and a box truck drove over. They also turned off their headlights, and everything was going on quietly.
Yangyang whispered: "It seems that you don't want anyone to discover your whereabouts."
"I don't know why they went to the Yangmartin Islands," Qingchen said doubtfully.
At this time, Qingchen took out his flashlight, gave two short and one long signals to the three vehicles, then jumped off the crab boat and set up the sampan.
But after four men and two women got off the three cars, one of the middle-aged white men ordered Qingchen: "Go and move everything in the car to the boat. There are signs on each box."
There are labels, and the equipment inside is very valuable, so don’t break it.”
After saying that, the six people stood aside.
No introduction of self, no offer of help.
Qingchen was happy. He turned around and greeted several people on the boat: "Come down and help. Old John operates the crane and lifts their things onto the boat."
At this time, a young white man frowned: "These equipment are very expensive, and they need to be lifted up by people, and the crane operation is not stable."
Qingchen raised his eyebrows. Is there any difference? Why is it so unstable when using a crane?
However, he didn't say anything. He greeted Yangyang and together they carried six suitcases and three sealed wooden boxes up.
Qingchen listened carefully and found that there was no sound of breathing in the box, at least it wasn't a living person being transported.
Four men and two women stood aside and waited. When they were carrying it, the slightest tilt of the box would alert Qingchen and Yangyang.
After Qingchen and the others finished moving, the six of them looked around and then boarded the boat.
What's even more surprising is that after they boarded the ship, they occupied the entire cabin and dormitories.
Originally, the cabin was for eight people, but the six of them closed the door and refused to let anyone in. They even asked Qingchen for the key to the cabin dormitory.
Qingchen was speechless: "There are only six of you, why are you occupying an eight-person dormitory?"
The middle-aged man said: "We have things to discuss in private. We can't let others listen. You just make do on the deck for a few days. We have given so much money, so of course there is hard work included in it. Otherwise, do you think we
Why did you pay so much money?”
Qingchen thought that 70,000 euros was actually not much...
Why do you act like you are God?
When you're transporting things on board, it's not too much to carry your own suitcase.
At this time, the middle-aged white man said: "Please come and clean the dormitory, it's too dirty."
Zhang Jian glanced at him: "We have cleaned it before you boarded the ship. Where is it dirty? This is the condition on the ship!"
"No, if you don't clean up, we won't pay the final balance of 10,000," one girl said.
Zhang Jianxin said, "If you don't pay, I won't pay. Anyway, the money is not in my hands."
As a result, Qingchen glanced at him, and Zhang Jian honestly picked up the mop and mopped the floor...
A middle-aged man and five young men and women did not know what they were going to do near the Janmartin Islands.
After the ship set off, the six people only briefly admired the scenery on the deck for a while, then returned to the cabin and locked the door.
The Arctic sailed slowly out towards the high seas.
Qingchen sat on the deck and listened quietly with his eyes closed.
A voice whispered in the cabin: "The sunken ship in 1866 should be near one of the seven coordinates. I think we should go to the A2 coordinate first, where the probability is greater. If we can find the ship underwater,
parts, that means we found the right parts.”
"Okay, I'll tell the captain later. Go to A2 first and give him the coordinates."
"If no trace is found on a2, go to a4. Someone has found a handmade anchor near a4 before. I suspect that this anchor belongs to the Dawn. If there is no trace on a4, then go deeper to a7, where the waters are
It’s relatively deep, so no one has ever explored it before.”
"It's okay. We have water awakeners this time. We will definitely be able to find the gold coins left on the ship. There is still a long time before we can travel. If we can find gold coins, life will not be so difficult every time we travel to the other world.
Already."
"However, we must be careful of being discovered by the future organization, otherwise we will be forced to join. The harvest must also be handed over to them for unified distribution."
"By the way, are there really gold coins on the Dawn?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Yes, everyone thought it was an empty ship, but when I was recycling old things in London, I found a letter written by the captain of the Dawn to his wife, in which he mentioned that he would go to Greenland with a full load of gold coins.
That was the wealth they plundered from the East. It was transshipped in the port of Cyprus and placed on the Dawn. If I hadn't found the captain's letter, I wouldn't have spent so much effort."
Qingchen opened his eyes when he heard this. He looked at Yangyang and whispered: "This is actually a team of time walkers. There is a water awakener in their team, who should be specialized in treasure hunting. According to them
According to the theory, a ship named Dawn once sank to the bottom of the sea full of gold coins from the 19th century, and their purpose of this trip was to find the gold coins."
Yangyang's eyes lit up: "I like this kind of thing."
Qingchen thought for a while and said, "I suspect they will want to kill and silence him after they find him."
Yangyang's eyes lit up again: "Isn't that better?"
At this time, someone in the cabin whispered: "Do you think there is anything wrong with this ship?"
"It shouldn't be a problem. I think they are all ordinary fishermen."
