"Mr. Mai is right. Judging from the nautical chart, there are two roads to go here, but the distances are very different. You see, this first sea road is full of reefs and small islands, and the route is still
It’s very long and it will waste a lot of our time.”
"But this second road is just the opposite. Not only is the road short, but there are no such things as reefs and islands. It can not only save time, but also improve our safety, so we have to take this short distance. As long as we
If you follow this road, you should be able to reach your destination in about a week." Shaoyu pointed to the location of the sign and clicked it twice.
"Are there no other small islands in the middle?" Martin asked.
"Judging from the navigation chart, this sea route does not clearly indicate small islands and reefs, but we do not rule out the possibility of obstacles. Even if there are, it's okay. We just have to be careful along the way." Shaoyu said calmly,
This guy is not very young, but he knows a lot.
"I always feel that this road is very strange. How should I explain this? Here, look." Jiao Ba reached out and pointed at a location and said.
There is nothing painted on it, just some densely dotted black dots, and I can’t understand what they mean.
"Yes, these black spots are very strange. There are two waterways here. Logically speaking, long paths should be safe, while short circuits are relatively dangerous. But it is just the opposite. Short circuits are safe, but long paths are dangerous. Is there any problem here?
"Chang Shan doesn't know much about this stuff either. He's a layman like me.
Shaoyu frowned and said, "What do these black dots mean specifically... I really don't understand. I have never seen such an icon. Can you understand it, Mr. Mai?"
"I don't understand either. This thing drawn by the ancients may be a trick. It's not that evil. It should be fine. We used to look for sunken ships according to the nautical chart. In the end, we also found the location on the nautical chart.
Yes, although the specific location is not drawn in detail on this navigation chart, it is not difficult to find it."
Mai Lao is now very confident. We have found all the places we should have found since we went to sea. At this point, Mai Lao has contributed a lot. Without him, we may not have been able to find it.
However, this also shows that Jiao Ba suspects that he is the man in black, and he is even related to the eunuch named Liu Qian. It seems that this is very possible, so we should pay more attention to him in the future.
"Oh? Where have you been before?" Martin asked in surprise.
"It's just a small island, an ordinary small island." Mr. Mai said casually.
"Small island? What's the use of that? Haven't you found an ancient shipwreck?" Martin is currently only interested in shipwrecks, but if he knew everything about the island, he wouldn't say this.
"Oh, I originally wanted to find the sunken ship, but who knew we would encounter a storm on the way, and wouldn't we meet you later?" Mr. Mai told a lie. It seems that he does not completely trust these people.
"Where is that island? What are you doing there?" He asked again.
"I don't know exactly where it is, and no one can explain it clearly. We were lost at that time, and the radar and communication equipment were broken, so we rested for a while on a nearby island." Jiao Ba was even better at making up lies. He didn't even have an eye for it.
Blink, that sounds like the truth.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Shan and I looked at each other and the big man looked at each other. All of us curled our lips. This is the so-called cooperation. No one can tell the truth.
"Oh, that's it, I thought there was treasure on that island." Martin said a little disappointed.
"It's a deserted island, where are the treasures? You're overthinking it." Jiao Ba is telling the truth. Not to mention treasures, there is nothing but dead people on the island.
The big man suddenly asked, "Who knows where we are now? And where is the next stop on the navigation chart?" I originally wanted to ask about this, but the big man asked me in advance.
"We should be between the waters of Malaysia and Indonesia now. It's too specific to say. I can only give a rough idea. According to the next stop location shown on the navigation chart, it should be near Australian waters." Shaoyu explained.
.
"Australia? This is getting farther and farther." This stop is Australia, then where is the next stop? I really can't think about it.
"Okay, don't talk about those things. This is what we have decided for now. When the time comes, Martin, prepare your equipment in advance. This is a dangerous journey, so be mentally prepared." Mr. Mai gave him a vaccination.
All of us know that the road ahead is full of hardships.
"No problem, I'll take care of everything." Martin said with a smile, but this smile looked a little evil...
After the matter was discussed, Martin wanted to invite us to have a drink, saying that he wanted to celebrate the happy cooperation, and we readily agreed. In fact, I didn’t want to go, but because of my face, if I didn’t go, people would say I was stingy.
.
So I had to put on a smile to greet them. In addition to Martin and Shaoyu, we were also accompanied by Lao Wu and several other crew members. That night, we drank a lot of wine. I can’t remember exactly how much we drank.
, I just remember that I raised my glass frequently, drinking one glass after another, and my mind became increasingly unclear.
I didn't want to drink more, but Martin and Shaoyu kept toasting. I really couldn't resist, so I had to drink it. I was already on fire, and after drinking a lot of wine,
It is even more intoxicating, so after a short time, I felt like I was fragmented and could not remember anything.
I can’t remember exactly what time it was. I only remember that I woke up from peeing. When I woke up in a daze, I found that I was still lying on the table in the restaurant. I shook my head to wake myself up.
For a moment.
Except for the big man next to me, everyone else was gone. It seemed that they were in the city rest cabin. The big man fell on the table and was sleeping soundly. I reached out and pushed him and shouted softly, "
Hey, big man, wake up."
The big man acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He moved his body to the side and continued to sleep. I pushed him a few more times and said, "Hey, wake up, wake up, go back to sleep."
The big man knocked my hand off, closed his eyes and muttered, "Leave me alone, I still want to drink..."
As soon as I saw how dead he was, I didn't plan to take care of him anymore. He was too big, and he was so drunk. If I were to carry him back to the cabin, my small frame would have to be taxed.
I had no choice but to take off my coat and cover him, and then got up to go to the bathroom. But when I just walked out of the restaurant, I accidentally saw Shaoyu sneaking out of our rest cabin.
I quickly retracted my body. At first I thought he was sending the others back to the cabin to rest, but I immediately found that his demeanor was wrong. He was actually sneaking around. After exiting the cabin, he deliberately looked around, and then quietly
He closed the cabin door gently.
The sound of closing the cabin door is very soft. If you don't listen carefully, you won't hear it at all. If he just sends others back to the cabin, can he do this? There must be something wrong with it.
