Chapter 1227: Difficulties in Getting to the Island

Of course, the fishing boats all have their own fishing areas, and the directions are the same, but the farthest the fishing boats reach is still dozens of nautical miles away from the island that Shi Lei is going to.

In the vast sea, at a distance of dozens of nautical miles, not to mention the island, not even a hair can be seen.

Shi Lei felt a little headache. The distance was too far. He originally thought that if he could get closer, he could at least observe the situation on the island. If it really didn't work, Shi Lei could still swim there on his own, but it was so far away that he couldn't even take a look at the situation on the island, let alone swim there.

Helpless, Shi Lei could only follow the fishing boat back.

The fishermen on the boat were also very curious about Shi Lei. A foreigner came all the way to this deserted sea. They couldn't tell what his purpose was. He just chatted with them casually. The critical communication effect between the two parties is still very poor. After all, Shi Lei can only speak English, and these people are fishermen from Malaysia. They all speak Malay. They can barely understand English, but they have to speak it out for Shi Lei to understand. , then it really takes some effort.

When the fishing boat returned to the island, there happened to be a cargo ship docked here. This was a ship that regularly sold supplies from Malaysia. It mainly provided wholesale business to the fishing companies here. At the same time, retail sales are not prohibited.

But the fishermen working here will basically not buy anything from this cargo ship. On the one hand, the fishing company to which they belong will buy a large amount and then distribute it to everyone. Although what everyone gets is very limited, they go home every month and bring some of the supplies they need when they come over. Of course, they don't have to buy them on the freighter. After all, the prices of materials on the freighter are ridiculously high.

When Shi Lei got off the boat, he saw it and was curious, so he asked. After learning the situation, he smiled slightly and walked straight towards the boat.

The people on the freighter obviously spoke good English. Shi Lei quickly figured out the prices and without much hesitation, he bought a lot of cans, spirits, and some cigars, and returned home with a full load.

The price was really high, but it was not so high that Shi Lei found it unacceptable. Perhaps it was because the consumption level in Malaysia was already low, so the price was a bit too much for hard-working fishermen like them.

Of course, Shi Lei didn't need to care about the money. He had already had a close relationship with these fishermen, which basically matched the level of intimacy that Shi Lei would have to treat them to dinner. In addition, although the prices of these things are high, they do not violate the laws of the market. The shipping costs alone are already prohibitive. The reasonable consumption recognized by the black card has always been the other party's pricing, and it cannot deviate too much from the market laws. Shi Lei was 90% sure that the money would be included in the quota.

Even if the quota is not included, Shi Lei still has a large amount of independent funds in his hands, so this amount of money is nothing.

After the fishing boat returns, of course it is necessary to sort the seafood salvaged on the boat into categories, but this is not the job of the fishermen on the boat. Once they hand over the boat, their work for the day is over.

As a result, with Shi Lei's greeting, 70% to 80% of the twenty fishermen on the fishing boat came at once. A total of sixteen or seven people sat on the beach and feasted on the things Shi Lei bought.

While the wine was flowing, the relationship between Shi Lei and them became more harmonious. Even some of the more generous people began to call Shi Lei like brothers.

So, Shi Lei asked about the private island. Unexpectedly, these fishermen were very familiar with that island. After getting to know it, Shi Lei found out that more than half of these fishermen had lived on that island. However, that small island was once the habitat of their fishing company.

This was easy to handle. While drinking and chatting, Shi Lei had a more three-dimensional and all-round understanding of the island. Some people even took out the map they drew when they lived on that island, as well as some written information about the island. Although they couldn't understand it, it obviously didn't trouble Shi Lei. He just needed I took the photos, borrowed the computers of these fishermen, sent them back to China, and gave them to Yao Er, who quickly translated them into Chinese.

"We can't pass now. The island, including the surrounding fifteen nautical miles of sea, has been bought by a consortium from India. Now it is absolutely forbidden for anyone and ships to approach. Once, a private fisherman's boat accidentally broke into He went in, but he was beaten to death there.”

Shi Lei was startled and said: "Isn't there no one in charge of this? Where is your government?"

"The sea is so vast that even the ship can't be found. Who has any evidence to prove that people died in their hands? We only analyzed some of the situations we learned about. If we were asked to come up with evidence, we wouldn't have it. Moreover. , the consortium also has investments in Malaysia. The government will not offend such a consortium for a small fisherman. I heard that in addition to everyone on that island, there are also heavy weapons. You don’t want to go to that island, do you?”

Of course Shi Lei couldn't admit it at this time, especially after hearing that everyone on the island had guns.

It was late May, and Shi Lei's three opportunities to use ancient martial arts cards this month had been exhausted. Under such circumstances, Shi Lei really didn't dare to set foot on the island rashly.

Fortunately, it wasn't long until June. Shi Lei learned from these fishermen that they would return to Malaysia the day after tomorrow and come back a week later to continue working.

Calculating the time, it was just right. If he followed this ship to Malaysia, and then followed their ship back a week later, the opportunity to use the Ancient Martial Arts Card would be almost refreshed.

With three opportunities to use the Ancient Martial Arts Card, three times the Archery Card, plus the Hand Speed ​​Card and the Diving Card, Shi Lei believed that he could basically guarantee his safety on the island.

Anyway, there was no rush for one or two days, so Shi Lei stayed for another day, and then followed the fishermen's boat back to Malaysia and came to Malaysia.

Then, Shi Lei flew directly to Hong Kong Island. Of course, there was no need to hide this matter. He told Yao Er all the information and situation he had obtained.

Yao Er frowned and said worriedly: "Sir, this is too dangerous. For a big mamba, it's not worth it, right?"

Shi Lei shook his head and said: "This is not just a problem of a big mamba, but the European consortium. If they really intend to find a way to eliminate the pollution caused by palladium, they should not go to such a small island to conduct experiments, and they also blocked the nearby 15 nautical miles of waters. This is obviously abnormal. Just think of me as wanting to be a superhero. Anyway, I still want to find out the truth about this matter. You don't have to worry about my own safety. I need you to help me design a reasonable way to get from that seafood fishing island to that small island. How should I get to the island and how should I leave."

Seeing Shi Lei's insistence, Yao Er had to nod and said: "Okay, I'll arrange it. It's not difficult. Just get as close to the island as possible and find two well-trained frogmen to take you to the island."
