Chapter 187
HNA in late summer.
Blue waters and warm sunshine.
Don’t think he’d be in a good mood if it weren’t for the group of strangers who were on guard around him.
If you count the sailors and captains that the ship originally carried, there are 5 people on the entire deck, each occupying a place, the atmosphere on the sailors’ side is the most normal, after all, for them It was said that this was a normal trip to the sea, but it was just a group of strange-looking guests.
On the other hand, these heretics are well aware that at this point in time before the rainstorm week is about to approach, almost all of them go to the steel-clawed mole, which means that in the It is very likely that the next competitor is sitting here, and the atmosphere is naturally not much better.
“The daily habits of the steel-clawed mole rat, the battle method…”
Pushing the sunglasses to his forehead, looked at the notes carefully.
Anthony’s preparations were more than just some props. Not long after he went to sea, he took a note and handed it to Donald, which clearly recorded some information about the alien beast, the steel-clawed mole.
“It says that steel-clawed moles have extremely strong hearing, and they will notice if there is a slight movement of grass on the ground, and only eat certain plant stems on the moss island…
” When you come out to breathe, you will only stay outside for less than 5 seconds, how are you going to catch it?”
Donald thought that this strange beast was not much different from a groundhog, but he also thought of using food to make it. Traps or ambush by the side, it seems that ordinary methods should not work now.
“To catch the steel-clawed mole, we can only do it within five seconds of its probe, and pursue one strike certain kill. After landing on the island, we must first find the breathable opening of the steel-clawed mole. Then squat on the side, betting on the reaction time of those few seconds… This is also the reason why steel-clawed moles are extremely rare in the market. The opportunity every year is the past few days, and many times after waiting for a few hours If you lose your attention, you may get nothing.”
In short, if you want to capture this kind of beast without special means, you can only rely on enough patience.
“5 seconds, you will be detected as soon as you approach, how do you strike a certain kill?”
Donald asked and wondered if he had any means to help Anthony catch the steel Clawed Mole.
“I will squat on the tree, and then rely on your perception ability to judge when the steel-clawed mole will emerge. I think if you cooperate well, there is a great chance.”
This is what Anthony came up with. There is a reason why he invited Donald. Catching a steel-clawed mole is a skill.
“Maybe when the time comes I will have some methods.”
“What?”
“Sell it out for now, and you will be on the island when you land. Got it, I’m going to sea with you this time, I don’t plan to go back empty-handed, by the way, when it comes to the question of whether or not to be empty-handed, is there no other resources on Moss Island, only steel-clawed moles?”
The whole island is not just a single creature, the steel-clawed mole.
“Others other than herbs and tree fruits are the wild animals on the moss island…the value of these things is average, if there are more quantities, some people may pay high prices Acquired, but if it is only a small amount, it is difficult to sell a good price, after all, it is only a low-intensity island.”
“You have some truth in saying that.”
Donald leaned on On the side of the boat, there is not much disappointment. Going to sea at this time is a test of the water, and more is to help.
As I sailed the ebbing of time, I was tired of the sea water, and the structure of the lifeboat on the side of the ship was also analyzed twice. After the initial freshness passed, all Donald could do seemed to be left. in a daze.
BeepBeep
While he was thinking about whether to find something to do, a few short and loud whistles came, and everyone on the deck followed. The direction from which the voice came from looked back.
“Big ship!”
Donald only heard Anthony muttering, then looked up and saw a huge steel ship, at least bigger than the one they were on three times.
The position of the opposing ship was only several hundred meters away from them, and the speed was extremely fast, catching up and staggering from behind.
Donald clearly saw a lot of people standing on the deck, all of them fully armed, and even a few eye-catching beasts, a white kangaroo, one on the head. Birds with colorful feathers…or chickens.
Donald didn’t read it all.
“Look at their ship logo, Lenny Machinery, I think this is the team exploring the unknown islands. After all, it is one of the most powerful companies in Demingham, and the rainstorm week can’t stop them. The pace of progress.”
The logo of Lenny Machinery is very recognizable, a large gear with the name of Lenny Machinery printed in the middle, they choose to go out to sea at this time, and they will definitely hit the piece in the distance The rainstorm under the dark clouds, but for a ship of this level, the impact of the rainstorm can be very limited.
On the other hand, they went to the rainstorm to help them eliminate some competitors with the help of this natural disaster.
Lenny’s mechanical ship was a surprise for a boring voyage, and the people on deck had been discussing these things for a while.
The sky gradually darkened amid these discussions. After half a day of HNA, the dark clouds on the other side were still in the sky, and the distance seemed to be unabated.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyes the sea water orange red, the faces of everyone on the deck are also full of red light, and in the sky, the silhouette of the moon can be vaguely seen.
After this time, the sky will darken rapidly.
The captain came out of the cabin at this time, knocked on the cigarette butt on one side of the stand, shook out some of the ash inside, and then coughed twice, attracting everyone’s attention.
“I’ll be there in half an hour. According to the agreement, from the time you disembark, I will wait beside the Moss Island for 36 hours, that is, at 12:00 noon the day after tomorrow. The point will not be changed because of anyone. If you are not on time, then don’t blame me for abandoning you. Let me remind you that it will be the rainstorm week soon, when the time comes Moss Island will experience a rainstorm with a shortest duration of 3 days. If you think you can If you can handle it, then I will not stop it.”
There are only a few days left until the rainstorm week, and the big ship of Leni before is not afraid of rainstorm, but it does not mean that this ship is not afraid either. It was an adventure for the captain to go out to sea before the week of the rainstorm, and it was absolutely impossible for him to go through the rainstorm.
No one objected to the captain’s request, and the captain only had this request. After speaking, he returned to the cabin to take the helm, and the sailors also returned to their posts and began to prepare for docking work.
Knowing that they were about to arrive at their destination, some people had some thoughts, and the other two-person team began to move closer to Donald and Anthony.
An old man with sunglasses, a bald man with dark arms.
“The two people this time went to Moss Island for the steel-clawed mole?”
It was the old man who spoke, and the position between him and the other bald man was that he was in Previously, in these two people squad, he dominated.
“Aren’t you guys? If you have something to say, just say it.”
Donald turned his head and put down his sunglasses again. Purposeful.
“Cooperation, this is what I want to say to the two of you, I think you should also see the two teams over there, one with 3 people, the other with 7 people, the latter team There may be newbies in it, but since they dare to bring newbies to the island, those veterans must be confident in their own strength. As far as I know, we will not be the only boats who landed on the island at the same time, when the time comes Moss Island There will definitely be a fight. The two of you and the two of us will easily have a situation where the number of people will be suppressed. It is better for us to join forces and have the same number of people. I think the strength of the two is not weaker than ours. Like?”
The old man has a hunchback, and when he speaks, he always bends his head and bows his head. This is to seek a team.
Donald didn’t respond, but glanced at Anthony, this time he was here to help, Anthony is the Captain, the old man’s ability to read words is not weak, Donald just glanced, his The body turned to Anthony without a trace.
“I’m not interested, we don’t need help.”
Anthony refused very succinctly. The two of them didn’t say much, and turned directly to the team of three people on the other side. The way of communication is estimated to be the same.
“They are so eager to find a team to join, afraid that they will not be able to catch the steel-clawed mole, or feel that their ability is not enough, and they will be robbed on the island?”
The eyes under the sunglasses Sweeping through these two people one by one, Donald came up with the answer, both assumptions are wrong.
“This kind of people, they themselves are not prepared to catch the steel-clawed mole, they only do one thing, kill more people…you can start changing clothes, after landing on the island, there is no Lighting, you have to adjust some equipment first.”
Anthony opened the backpack and took out a head-mounted light from the inside. The core light is about a finger long, with mechanical straps on both sides, and the end It’s the tape.
“I have installed the whale oil energy in advance. After wearing it, use the gears on both sides to adjust the distance to ensure that it can fit on both sides of my forehead. Finally, I tie a cloth strip, and the switch is on the right side. It should work. Touch it.”
Donald didn’t actually need night lighting, but he didn’t refuse, wearing a searchlight like he did.
The light from the whale oil searchlight is light blue, which does not attract the attention of wild beasts at night.
The two of them did not get shriveled again in the 3-person team before, but successfully joined after a simple discussion, and then those people began to look at Donald and Anthony from time to time.
“It seems to have an idea for us…”
2+3 is 5 people, they are 2 here, the power balance is obvious to them It is they who have the advantage.
“On these islands, when you refuse to hurt others, people will often pay attention to you. At this time, it depends on whether you are prepared.”
Anthony took out two short blades from his backpack, inserted them into the leather sheath around his waist, turned his head, looked towards Donald, and quickly smiled.
They both saw the cold light in each other’s eyes.
