The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 185: Chaos and Turmoil (Part 2)


Compared with the deepest steps of Asmontis, walking through the inaccessible underground labyrinth can be regarded as a leisurely stroll. Fifteen minutes later, Gu Tie and Aqiwei boarded the small boat in the rapids. Going fast through the underground waterway of China, Gu Tie sat at the stern and was at the helm. Aqiwei illuminated the front with a flashlight. The sewer became quite narrow and there was no electric light anymore. The light spot of the flashlight was projected on the gray-brown water channel and it was not illuminated. In the darkness five meters away, there is a branch water channel that merges in every tens of meters, pushing the water more urgently. "This is a little fleeing, just like Jean Valjean in Les Misérables with a horse on his back. In the plot of Baron Lus’s escape, Victor Hugo said that the sewer is the city’s conscience. I think Tokyo has a conscience, but it is a pity that Little Japan has no conscience." Gu Tie commented casually, sniffing the stench in the air.

"Watch carefully, don't be distracted." The woman scolded,

Twenty-six minutes later, the boat reached the end of the sewer. From a distance, I could see the light rapidly increasing from small to large in the darkness. "Jump to the side." Gu Tie said, and Aqiwei leaped lightly. Falling on the high platform next to the waterway, he stretched out his hand to pull the Chinese up,

"Bang." The glass fiber boat hit the iron gate at the exit of the waterway and immediately broke into two pieces. The sewage poured out of the sewage outlet. Across the iron fence, you could see the pale gray sea of ​​Tokyo Bay, countless. Ships moving in and out, seagulls hovering in the blue sky, as Oe Ryunosuke said, this is a very hidden sewage outlet, under a cliff on the Kanagawa Miura Peninsula, surrounded by rocks, whether from the sky or the land. It is difficult to observe that the only camera is not even powered on,

A big ship is moored not far away, completely blocking the line of sight from the sea. The bow is painted in white paint with the name of the ship in English and French. It is too far away to see it. As the Japanese say, this ship is 80,000. The tonnage ro-ro cargo ship is waiting for the final cargo to board. A long rope ladder hangs down the side and no people can be seen on the deck. The number of sailors on a modern container cargo ship is surprisingly small. Such a big ship and the captain will not exceed at most Five crew members, it’s normal not to see them,

Gu Tie grabbed the railing and went out and took a look. "It's about 20 meters high. The depth of the water below should be enough, but you have to leap a bit to the left and pay attention to the reefs. He claims to be the first in the world to implement an environmentally friendly policy. The city of Tokyo actually still has such an ancient sewage facility. It seems that politicians have deliberately forgotten it..."

"Japanese." Aqiwei commented briefly. She reached out and shook the thick iron railing: "The gap is not big enough to squeeze out. Do you have props such as a cutter?"

"I'm not a scavenger..." Gu Tie shrugged, "This fence door can be opened, as long as you pry the lock, let me see... Oh, the old-fashioned double ball lock is really up. The product of the last century is rusty, but there have been signs of opening in recent months. Damn, the key must be on Oe Ryunosuke’s body. Before he handed over the key, you killed him. This is troublesome now."

"Pry it open." Rainforest Flower succinctly instructed,

"Yes, sir." Gu Tie didn't say much, took the flashlight and unscrewed the lens glass, took out a ring-shaped iron wire from it, repeatedly moved it into two pieces, and then spent half a minute Time smashed the old padlock, "Crunch..." The rusty fence door was pushed open, and the plastic bags, fast food boxes and other debris trapped inside fell to the sea, and the wreck of the boat rolled and fell down. , The Chinese stick out their tongues: "The Japanese will hate us to death."

Aqiwei looked at him: "Are you talking about destroying the Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office, destroying the Quantum Network, and blowing up the Chiyoda District of Tokyo, plus this major crime of polluting the environment?"

Gu Tie said angrily: "I didn’t want to blow up Chiyoda. Besides, wasn’t it only the small piece near the Kasumigaseki Metropolitan Police Department building that was blown up? It’s much better than Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Right."

Aqiwei said: "You are not MacArthur." Before the words fell, she leaped gently, fell straight from the sewage outlet, and drew a wonderful parabola into the sea, "That's it again, you Can’t you be a little bit organized and disciplined? Really, it seems that it is necessary for Lao Xiao to do ideological and political education for you, to see what a fighter with good thinking and politically qualified looks like..." Gu Tie babbled. I stayed with my nose and jumped down,

"Pump, plop." The two people fell into the sea one after another, and moved their bodies in the gray-yellow water to swim out of the water, "Puff." Gu Tie sprayed out the foul sewage and wiped a handful of water on his face. "Bah, baah, I have to drink Japanese footwash before I leave..."

"Stop talking nonsense, there are still a few hundred meters to swim, do not move too much, be careful of the wound, tell me if you are weak, I will support you." Aqiwei said,

"Take care of yourself, really..." Gu Tie murmured and swam forward. Oe Ryunosuke provided them with a gray one-piece suit. The cavity surface material provided enough Buoyancy, you can float in the water without much effort, which greatly relieved the unhealed Chinese people.

It took two people a few minutes to swim hundreds of meters away. They used their hands and feet to climb the rope ladder of the 10,000-ton freighter. When they climbed halfway, Gu Tie felt sore in his muscles and had to stop and rest for a while. Aqiwei shouted on it. : "What's the matter, is there no strength? Tie this rope around your waist and I will pull you up."

"It's not necessary." Gu Tie shook away the nylon rope angrily, gritted his teeth and moved on.

"Pump." After finally climbing up to the ship's side tens of meters high, Gu Tie collapsed on the deck, spreading his hands and feet and panting. The flower of the rain forest looked around vigilantly with a gun in his hand. The top deck of the ro-ro freighter was painted. The red anti-rust paint looks flat and empty, and no sailors can be seen on the bridge not far away.

After a short break, the two walked across the deck and boarded the bridge. The captain’s room was also empty. A beautifully decorated card was glued to the electronic rudder. The black background was covered with golden olive branches and a line of small letters was written. Said: "This ship is unmanned. Just enter the destination coordinates in the control panel (attached under the gps coordinates). The ship has passed all port and customs inspections and can drive to a predetermined location in the open sea without hindrance. , There will be instructions for the next step, and I’m very honored to be able to serve you, Mr. Gu Tie, all colleagues of Black Olive Branch will always be at your disposal. This card will be destroyed after reading it,,, be careful, it’s very hot."

Seeing this, Gu Tie threw the card out like an electric shock. The black card exploded in the air with a ball of sparks. The golden flame briefly formed a circular olive branch shape. Before it fell to the ground, the paper was burned to ashes." In case I watched a little slower, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to burn my fingers..." The Chinese complained, and while still remembering the line of coordinates, he quickly opened the control panel, activated the autopilot program, and entered a string of numbers. Go inside, don’t look at it as an 80,000-ton-class giant ship. The autopilot system is no different from the cars full of streets. As the "confirm" button is pressed twice, the two heavy-oil steam turbines start to warm up and send out huge noises. Roar,

This is Azwei coming in from the door, "Walking around, there is no suspicious place, where is the destination, Africa?"

Gu Tie frowned and said, "This coordinate doesn't feel right, wait until I find the map to have a look..." He drew on the screen with his finger, called up the global nautical chart system on the control panel, and called up the coordinates. At the location, "Damn, Kagoshima." He pointed to the screen and exclaimed, "There is no sea of ​​Japan at all, what does this mean."

The GPS coordinates are located two hundred and seventy nautical miles away from the current location. The center of the Tanegashima Strait in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan is still within the Japanese sea area.

"I see." Rainforest Flower suddenly laughed and pointed to the nameplate on the glass of the captain's room: "This ship is not the end yet, it's just a relay ship. I believe the official voyage is from the designated location. The beginning, not now."

"What do you mean." When Gu Tie looked up, he suddenly realized that the nameplate read "Ro-Ro Cargo Ship "Chickpea Flower": Displacement: 78,990 tons; Registration: Cologne, Panama; launch time: 2041 March 16, 2016; Standard crew: three." Oe Ryunosuke said that the ship that sent them to Africa was called the "Old Man of the Sea" and it was not this cargo ship at all,

At this time, the pointer of the power reserve meter enters the green space, the clutch automatically shifts, the windlass rolls up the anchor chain, and the steam turbine drives the propeller to slowly rotate to stir the turbid sea water. The "Chickpea Flower" freighter The three horns sounded, and the official set sail outside Tokyo Bay. The Port Authority sent a green signal to the freighter, which reported that it was "temporarily parked to clean up the car towing belt", and sent blessings of smooth sailing with lights and radio.

"The fifteen-hour voyage is really a slow boat..." Gu Tie glanced at the numbers on the control panel, stretched out in the swivel chair, kicked the ground a few times, and squinted. Looking at Aqiwei, he said: "With so much time to kill, should we talk about the ultimate topic of the universe and life? People should pursue progress in this way when they are alive. Say yes. The captain’s room must have good wine and a videotape of Die Hard, and more importantly, there is a very comfortable bed. If the movies and TVs I’ve watched don’t lie to me...hehe..."

"That's right, you should take a good rest, don't force it, you have 15% of the body's weight replaced with new parts, and it will take a long time to run in." Aqiwei said lightly. Said, "I'm on duty here, go to bed, don't drink, don't smoke, don't forget to take a bath and change clothes, don't catch cold."

"Yes, but..." Gu Tie leaned over with a grimace, staring at the woman eagerly: "I can't sleep alone..."

"Go away."

"...Okay."
