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 since last year, a few Chinese traders from South Africa have been buying these fluffy little things at high prices, which has given the poor Dublin villagers hope to get rich overnight.
The Banana Islands, far from the coastline of the Big 6, are not as rich in diamonds as the waters on the Big 6 side of Sierra Leone, and there are only rich marine resources here, and there are no diamonds and gold abundant in Sierra Leone, so it is even poorer than the Inner 6.
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. thump He jumped into the sea and nimbly dived into the water like a fish.
The other villagers around him stopped what they were doing and quietly watched where Moses was diving, in Dublin Village, Moses was a good diver, and this time he could touch as many sea cucumbers as 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" "Seeing Moses Didn't" "Look, what's down there?"
The red color under the water is getting more and more, and there are more and more bubbles on the surface of the water.
Everyone in the boat began to panic, and some grabbed improvised wooden oars and tried to leave the waters.
One villager's hand accidentally touched the water. laugh at As if he had put his hand into a pot of boiling water, the young villager screamed in surprise, barely able to hold his paddles, and a string of blisters burned his hands in an instant, making him grin in pain.
"It hurts" he retracted his hand in panic and pointed to the bottom of the water and shouted: "There is a devil down there, there is a devil down there" Almost at the same time, the corpses of fish were 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 rising bubbles, and the flesh on the bones was sparse, like bone broth residues stewed in a pressure cooker for hours, which was simply 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've 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 sea 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. disheveled 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 a hundred meters long and 2o 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 ship's name: Vladimir.
However, if you look more closely, you can see some mottled old marks under the newly painted "Vladimir" several huge letters, and if you distinguish them carefully, you can see that it is "BS In the sequence of navies of various countries, the spy ships of the former Soviet Union all start with "B" as the code, and it is obvious 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 full black combat uniform ran out of the wheelhouse, down the gangway and down the deck, trotting all the way to the railing, "something new" Next to the railing, a rickety little golden old man sits in a wheelchair, dressed in a white suit, a white Honburg 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 just detected that there has suddenly generated a high temperature of 1ooo 15oo degrees, and it is very close to sea level."
The black fat man's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said angrily: "How is it possible that the Banana Islands are hundreds of nautical miles away from the waters of Freetown, and Fafnir was severely injured even if he didn't die, how could he have swam hundreds of nautical miles to come here?"
"Kebby, don't be so nervous."
The old man in white who was in a wheelchair interrupted the black fat man Kebby, he turned his head to look 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-clad 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, his face seemed a little embarrassed, "Mr.
President, do you really believe that Fafnir will be in the Banana Islands" Haynes 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 human race, but also of his hair, his head and eyebrows are actually white, but his 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, with Hansen as the center, and a circle of red shimmer rippled in the air around him, and then spread out like a circle of ripples, 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.
