Atlantic Ocean, the waters off the Banana Islands.

As night falls, thousands of bats emerge from their seaside habitats and hover over the village of Dublin in the jungle.

At night, a few simple boats float on the sea, and nearby villagers come out to collect sea cucumbers at this time.

Africans don't eat sea cucumbers, but in recent years, a few Chinese traders from South Africa have come to buy these fluffy little things at high prices, which has given the poor Dublin villagers hope to get rich overnight.

Far from the mainland coastline, the Banana Islands are not as rich in diamonds as the waters on the mainland of Sierra Leone, and there are only abundant marine resources here, without the diamonds and gold that Sierra Leone is abundant, so it is even poorer than the interior.

However, because of this, this place did not attract the attention of the rebels of the Revolutionary Alliance at all, and the people here escaped.

A villager named Moses suddenly noticed some strange changes in the sea, as if something was under the ship, faintly emitting a strange red light.

It is not allowed to dive into the sea with modern diving equipment, and there is an ancient legend that the waters around the Banana Islands contain a kind of holy spirit, and it is not acceptable to be polluted by these filthy modern devices, otherwise it will anger the gods and attract punishment.

Moses decided to go into the sea anyway to see that his sea cucumber harvest was not abundant tonight, and if the red light below came from some kind of unexpected wealth, he might have made a small fortune so that his family would not go hungry.

Plop –

He burrows into the water with the agility of a jumping fish.

The other villagers around quietly watched Moses dive, in Dublin Village, Moses was a good diver, and this time to see how many sea cucumbers he could touch at one time.

A string of bubbles suddenly rose on the phosphorescent sea, and the bubbles slowly and rapidly turned to the surface of the sea like boiling water, releasing white steam from the bubbles, and the surrounding area was suddenly extremely hot, like a boat on a hot spring.

"What's going on!?"

"Didn't see Moses!?"

"Look, what's down there!?"

The red color under the water is getting more and more abundant, and the bubbles on the surface of the water are more and more loved. Everyone began to panic, and some people grabbed improvised wooden paddles and tried to leave the waters.

One of the villagers' hands accidentally touched the water on the surface of the sea.

Snort –

Like a pot of boiling water burning on his hands, the young villager screamed and could barely hold his paddles.

"It hurts!" He retracted his hand in panic, pointed to the bottom of the water and shouted: "There is a devil below, there is a devil below!" ”

Almost at the same time, everyone noticed that the carcasses of fish were constantly floating on the surface of the sea, and the fish seemed to be boiled, and the skin was peeled open.

Soon, the skeleton of Bai Sensen was lifted out of the water by the constantly rising bubbles, and the flesh on the bones was sparse and miserable.

"It's Moses! Oh, my God! That's Moses! "Someone recognized Moses' bracelet, and the men and women of Dublin Village each had a neck ring and a bracelet, which were treasures to ward off evil spirits and decoration.

"Oh my God! We have angered the gods! ”

The ignorant villagers began to mess around, the boats crashed into each other in panic, and some people tumbled into the sea, letting out terrifying screams.

The sea became more and more turbulent, as if an angry sea monster was stirring the water wantonly in the water, and the calm sea just now turned up huge waves, and a column of water rose from the bottom of the sea, rushed to the sky, and then fell.

Peng –

After the loud bang, all the boats on the sea overturned, and everyone fell into the water, like live shrimp thrown into a hot pot, screaming and struggling in vain.

Almost half a minute later, the cry was like a fire that had cooled in the hearth of the night, and finally fell silent.

The whole sea was as calm as death again.

……

A huge black shadow broke through the waves in the sea, and the keel on the bow of the ship cut through the warm waters, setting off a wave of white flowers.

It is a strange blue and white ship about 100 meters long and 20 meters wide. The ship did not look like a cargo ship, with a three-story bridge at the front of the deck, but also did not look like a passenger ship, as there were many yellow crane boom-like devices on the deck, apparently for working purposes.

Even more bizarre is that behind the wheelhouse of the hull, in addition to several huge upright antennas, there is a huge white spherical object with a diameter of up to five meters, next to which several small cylindrical white devices are installed.

On the side of the ship, a line of apparently freshly painted white paint indicated the name of the ship - Vladimir.

However, if you look closely, you can see some mottled old marks under the newly painted "Vladimir" letters, and if you look closely, you can see that it is the word "CCB".

In the sequence of navies of various countries, the spy ships of the former Soviet Union all start with the code "CCB", and it is clear that this is a former Soviet spy ship, which may have fallen into private hands after the collapse of the largest socialist country in the world.

"Mr. Haynes!" A soldier in a black combat uniform ran out of the wheelhouse, ran down the gangway and down the deck, trotting all the way to the railing, "There's something new!" ”

Next to the railing, a rickety little blond old man sits in a wheelchair, dressed in a white suit, a white top hat, brown and white crocodile leather shoes on his feet, and an ivory pipe hanging from his mouth, with the demeanor of an old-school scholar.

There was a fat black man standing next to the wheelchair, and he seemed very unhappy to see the black-clothed soldier in a hurry, and the whites of his eyes were more than the kernels of his eyes.

"What are you yelling for?"

"Our heat source system scanned for a new dynamic, and I think what we were looking for was probably there."

"Where is it?"

"Five nautical miles west of the Banana Islands! The heat source monitoring system has detected that there is a sudden high temperature in this area, and it is very close to sea level. ”

The black fat man's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said angrily: "How is it possible!" The Banana Islands are a few hundred nautical miles away from the waters of Freetown, and Fafnir was badly injured even if he didn't die, how could he have swam hundreds of nautical miles to get here!? ”

"Kebby." The old man in white who was in a wheelchair spoke, he looked at the soldier in black and said, "Tell the people of the search team to get ready, and tell them that we are close to the target." ”

"Yes, sir!" The black-clothed soldier bowed slightly, ran back to the cab, and rang the assembly bell.

A loudspeaker came from the bridge of the ship: "Attention units, approaching the target, please be ready, the search team will immediately assemble on the deck." ”

Kebby looked at Haynes in the wheelchair and seemed a little embarrassed, "Mr. President, do you really believe that Faveniel will be in the Banana Islands?" ”

Haines touched his mustache, took out an antique gold watch from his arms, looked at the time, turned to another place on the deck and asked, "Hansen, can you confirm the news?" ”

Behind one of the turbines on the railing, a figure flashed.

"Yes, President."

Hansen is a young white man, not only of the human race, but also his hair, hair and eyebrows are actually white, but the age looks very young, at most in his twenties, his facial features are very German, high eyebrow bones, deep eye sockets, small eye space, and a pair of turquoise eyes.

He walked to the edge of the railing, crouched lightly on the ground, red flames flowed from his eyes, and a low ancient chant came from the sea breeze, and a circle of red shimmer rippled in the air around Hansen as the center, and then spread out like a ripple, and disappeared into the air without a trace.

Nearly a minute later, Hansen stood up, walked over to Haynes, and nodded.

There was a gleam of excitement in Haines's eyes, and he tucked the gold watch into his pocket and snapped his fingers in the air.

"Let's go! Go to the Banana Islands. ”
