Chapter 21 Section Thirteen

I eased my emotions, lit another cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth. "Uncle Shan, think about it. I'll go out and wait for your news. I'll come back in half an hour. If you want anything, call the guards to do it for you." I turned and walked out of the interrogation room. Twenty-five minutes later, when I was waiting for Old Dan's final answer with other comrades next to the interrogation room, the guard sent good news: "Old Dan agreed to take us to Penglai Xiandao!" I ran quickly to the interrogation room, where Lao Shan was in pain. I suppressed the excitement in my heart: "Understood, sir?"

"It's a waste of time to live, alas," Lao Shan shook his head, "Son, you're right. I really didn't gain anything, but lost a lot. Watching these children die at such a young age Now, I feel very bad. No matter what I become, I was still a person after all. I also have a heart, and I also have feelings." Lao Dan continued to speak slowly: "Penglai, I'll take you there. Today is the 16th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which may be the deadline for Penglai's activities around here this year. On the full moon day of the 16th day of the seventh month, Penglai God Island will appear in the world. People rejoice, and they will be reborn into the class of immortals."

"Okay, as long as we are sent to Penglai, everything is easy to talk about!" Lao Dan looked up at me: "That's what I said, but I only promise to take you into Penglai. As for Lord Dragon, you have to deal with it yourself. He can manipulate me at all times, and he can feel me wherever there is water. They even ordered me to do something. After we get there, everything depends on your creation. I am going to fulfill a wish I have had for many years." "What wish?" I was taken aback. "Of course you will know when you get there. Before I go there, I don't want to continue dealing with you. Prepare the boat. Don't have too many people. If there are too many people, Penglai may not show up. Remember!" I spoke, and no matter what I said after that, he ignored it all.

I really want to continue to ask Lao Dan how he communicated with Penglai, and why the eel monster and the hedgehog came to rescue him, but he has already refused to answer any of my questions.Time is running out, it seems that I can only go to Penglai to continue exploring! In Minister Chen's office, Minister Chen and the military leaders listened to my report and started careful planning. That night, Team Leader Wang and I together with several members of Group 15 gathered the old order on a Navy P6 torpedo boat.At 7:30, we faced the full moon on the sea and went to sea on time. "Today's weather: sunny, visibility at night is 15-20 chains. The wind direction is northeast, the wind force is 5-6, and the gust is 7. Medium waves and large swells (between two typhoons)."

After listening to the crew's report, I think it's not bad, and I hope that before the next storm comes, we can successfully infiltrate Penglai Island. Looking at the gradually disappearing horizon, I can't tell what my mood was at the time.Nervousness, excitement, confusion, and the great curiosity are all pulling me.hope everything is fine! Although there is only one boat on the sea within the visible range, I know that we are not alone, and all types of ships of various naval units in the nearby waters have been deployed.Once we have any unexpected situation, we will get strong support immediately.At that moment, I really admire Minister Chen's work efficiency.

We continue to move forward in the direction guided by the old list.In the radio room inside the boat, the confidential officers are constantly reporting their position and communicating with other naval units.So far at least, everything is going well. At some point, the dark clouds covered most of the moon, and the sea gradually became dark.The radar officer suddenly reported: "Forty-five degrees on the port side, there is unknown clutter at five nautical miles. Theoretically, it is several small ships with no speed." My heart suddenly became tense, this sea area should have been blocked, who else is nearby? ...

"The deputy captain, the chief engineer, the engineer officer, the radar officer, the gunner officer, all sailors in all positions are in place, first-level alert! Turn on all the lighting equipment." The captain shouted loudly, "The direction is 45 degrees to port. ,Full speed ahead!" I glanced at Old Single, and he nodded slightly at me. Sure enough, there was an anomaly there. I quietly opened the handcuffs on the old single hand.At the critical moment when we are about to enter Penglai, it is meaningless to have one more enemy. I hope to have one more friend. All the people were nervously staring at the sea ahead, and the shadows of several ships gradually appeared in the distant sea area.

The fishing lights on the boat flickered on and off, just floating there, seemingly without any power. I asked the captain: "What model? Can you see it?" "Not sure, from the appearance, it seems to be a local fishing boat." "Attention, prepare to contact!" Team leader Wang and the sailors on the ship stood on the side of the ship with guns, and the gunner also led the sailors to get ready. No one knew what would happen. Just when I was about to continue to ask, a sailor's voice suddenly came: "Look, boat 30147 is also there!" 30147 boat?Isn't that the torpedo boat that was missing for half a month in the report?Is there anyone else?What is their relationship with Penglai?All kinds of questions flashed through my mind instantly.

Just when I was full of doubts, our torpedo boats had already approached these small boats. Under the strong searchlight, I looked around and saw that there were seven or eight ships.Basically, they are fishing boats, just floating lifelessly on the sea. I turned to look at the old list, hoping he could give me some advice, but he still didn't say anything. It was only when I got closer that I saw that almost all the boats were covered with seaweed and the like, and they were wet, as if they had been soaked in the sea for a long time. The target is getting closer.I asked Lao Shan: "What are those?"

Lao Dan looked at the boats on the sea and said, "The ferry for the dead. Everyone is going to Penglai from here. Get ready." I looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean? Could it be that all the people above are dead?" Lao Dan shook his head: "I don't know, the impression of going to Penglai was also interrupted here. Now that we have found them, we can only wait." I feel a little bit regretful about uncuffing the handcuffs of the old man, and I'm really afraid that this old man has some tricks. "Is there anyone on board? Please answer. We are a naval patrol, please answer if someone is on board!"

The voice of the captain came from the on-board horn. As expected, no one answered us! Looking at the strange fleet around us, we discussed it and decided that Team Leader Wang would lead a few people to board boat 30147 first.We are on guard here, if there is any accident, we will respond at any time. We slowly approached the 30147 boat, and the sailors hooked it with a boat hook.From the cockpit, I watched Team Leader Wang and the others climb up, hoping everything was safe. The two ships were very close, but luckily nothing happened this time.Team leader Wang explored for a while and returned to our ship.
