Han Lu and Ni Li didn't stop after returning to the shore, and immediately went straight to the base of the Self-Defense Forces. They rejected the proposal of the man who sailed the boat to ask the Fisheries Association for help, and they didn't even go to the police station on the island.
This is because other than the army, there is no way to deal with those things underwater.
On this matter, Nelly was even more urgent than Han Lu, not only because Zhang Heng also rescued her, but also because she couldn't imagine that there were still people living not far from the small island where she lived. Such a large group of monsters.
There are not many people on Yonaguni Island, and most of them are civilians with little combat effectiveness. Nelly has not forgotten the wall carvings she saw before, but there are still patterns of monsters attacking human towns.
This is her hometown, where her friends and relatives live, and she must protect it.
As soon as Nelly and Han Lu arrived at the gate of the military base, the two soldiers guarding the gate immediately raised their rifles and warned at the same time, "This is a military restricted area, and no one is allowed to enter without permission."
Afterwards, they seemed to recognize Han Lu's identity as a tourist, and repeated it in English.
Nelly raised her hands, indicating that she wasn't carrying any weapons, and at the same time said, "We have something urgent to see the person in charge here."
However, the two soldiers were indifferent when they heard the words, and just repeated, "This is a military restricted area. You must obtain permission to enter, otherwise we will have to ask you to leave here."
"Please, this is probably a matter of life and death for Yonaguni Island." Nelly said anxiously.
But the two soldiers seemed to have never heard of it, and at the same time raised the rifles in their hands a little higher.
"Do you know anyone in here? Maybe we can ask him to take us in." Han Lu also saw that it was almost impossible for the two of them to go in like this.
Nelly shook her head and said, "None of these soldiers are from the island. Except for exercises and training, they hardly leave the base. Normally, we have no interaction with them at all, but..."
"But what?"
"People from the Fisheries Association have a little contact with them, and they seem to send them some seafood on a regular basis. You are right, the person in charge of delivering seafood may know someone in the base." Nelly said, "We can ask them to try. .”
Nelly then contacted the uncle who was driving the boat, and about a quarter of an hour later, a man in his forties who looked quite capable in military uniform walked out of the base.
"Are you looking for me?"
"Are you the person in charge here?" Nelly asked full of expectation.
"No, I'm just Chief Haicao, and I'm mainly responsible for the base's foreign purchases." The man said, when he walked out of the gate, the soldiers on both sides saluted him with their guns.
"Then can you take us to meet the person in charge here?"
"Let's talk about what you are here for first." Chief Haicao didn't agree but didn't immediately refuse either.
"Okay, I know it sounds crazy, we were diving in the underwater ruins before, and the water suddenly turned red, and then we encountered a current, and when the current passed, one of our companions disappeared, Uh... that's Ms. Han Lu next to me, and we entered an underwater palace to find her."
"You?" Haicao raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, yes, there were three of us originally. I was a dive guide for the diving club on the island, and the other two were tourists who came to the island." Nelly explained.
"Well, let's go on."
"I don't know how to describe what I saw afterwards, a monster that looked like a man and a fish attacked me, but then it was killed by another of our companions, uh... we swam all the way forward , met the missing Ms. Han Lu, but also met more monsters, as far as I saw, there were hundreds of them, but I don't know if this is the total number of them, our other In order to save us, my companion was dragged to the bottom of the sea by those monsters, and his life and death are uncertain..." Nelly's voice became choked up at the end.
"You mean you were attacked by a group of mermaids?"
"No, not mermaids, they look ugly, they have nothing to do with mermaids, and I'm not talking about fairy tales, they are real, I saw it with my own eyes, I... I was too scared, no Take pictures of them, but I did take pictures of some of the entrance stone carvings."
While talking, Nelly handed the camera over.
Chief Haicao took it over and looked at it for a few moments, noncommittal, and then asked, "Has anyone else seen these photos?"
"No, we came here as soon as we landed." Nelly said truthfully, "Sir, please trust us, we know the consequences of lying about such things."
Hearing this, Mr. Haicao didn’t speak for a while, and seemed to be thinking about Nelly’s proposal. After a while, he nodded and said, “Well, this is the military base of the Self-Defense Forces. It’s true that you are not allowed to enter, but it seems that President Tanaka of the Fish Industry Association For the sake of this, I will truthfully report your words to my superior, but I cannot guarantee that he will believe you, and I will also bring your camera in. These photos should also give your story a little more convincing force."
"Then I'll leave it to you. It's about a human life and the life and death of Yonaguni Island. I hope you can convince your superiors to take this matter seriously." Nelly bowed tearfully.
After Mr. Haicao turned around and walked into the wall with the camera, Han Lu asked Nelly again in English, "What did he say?"
"Mr. Hai Caochang said that we will pass on our request to the superiors. If we can persuade the Self-Defense Forces to take action, we may be able to kill all those monsters."
Nelly didn't say that Zhang Heng was rescued, because it had been two full hours since they left that sea area, and Zhang Heng's hope of surviving was really slim, but as long as the Self-Defense Forces were willing to take action, at least killing those monsters would be enough. To avenge Zhang Heng can also save other people living on Yonaguni Island.
But when Han Lu heard her words, she didn't have any joy on her face. Instead, she said, "Something's wrong, he just took your camera?"
"Yes, Mr. Hai Caochang said that he would show the photos inside to his superiors, so that we can prove what happened to us."
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this, but for some reason, Han Lu always felt a sense of uneasiness, especially when she saw that Captain Hai Cao, Han Lu even began to wonder if it was right to ask the Self-Defense Force for help. A right decision.
However, now that she is in a foreign country, she seems to have no other choice.
