Du Lin was sitting in a fisherman's shack built by the water, eating fishermen's rice. This is a very "special" food, which is made of steamed wheat kernels, vegetables and fish mixed with a little fish soup. A little salt makes it a very typical fisherman's meal. In the final analysis, it is still because of poverty. Vegetables and fish do not need to be purchased separately. Some of them come from the fields behind the beach, and some of them come from the ocean. They are cheap but can fill their stomachs. This is already a very good life for the fishermen. Saving some money, sending their children to school or buying some furniture have almost become the main things in the lives of these fishermen.
In the absence of modern centralized fishing operations, fishermen's lives are not as comfortable as people imagine.
However, Du Lin enjoyed the food very much. This may have something to do with the fact that it was his first time to eat it. People are always full of curiosity and appreciation for new things.
He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. Savi walked in from the door, "He is one of ours, do you want to leave now?"
Du Lin shook his head, "Have you seen it on the boat?" Savi was stunned for a moment, obviously not. Du Lin put down the spoon, took out his handkerchief and wiped the sticky fish soup on his mouth, and looked at it. The brothers around said, "Fifteen minutes ahead of our scheduled time, too early!"
"Maybe they remembered the wrong time.", the owner of the house in the corner explained.
This guy is in his fifties and looks much older than his real age. The salty sea breeze is definitely the deadliest killer of skin. Most people who live by the sea for a long time and don’t have enough money to take care of their skin will look older. . His face is covered with wrinkles, his skin is rough and dark, and his forehead is wrinkled when he smiles. Sensing that Du Lin's gaze had shifted, he stooped slightly and lowered his head, looking very honest and honest.
According to the plan, when Dulin contacted the people responsible for smuggling, they would arrive at the fishing village at 8:40 to pick them up on the boat, and then send them to the high seas to board the navy ship. The reason why such a time was chosen is that with the popularization of maritime rights laws, countries have become more concerned about coastal defense. The Federation will have a defense patrol every half an hour. If you arrive earlier than 8:30, you may encounter a naval patrol ship on patrol, so you need to stagger the time. On the other hand, it has something to do with the Imperial Navy. Warships are too big of a target. If the sky is not completely dark, they will be easily discovered by federal patrol ships at sea.
Therefore, it will be after eight o'clock, when the sky is completely dark, that the empire's navy will approach the federal waters and wait for Dulin to board the ship.
For Dulin, every step of the plan he was responsible for formulating and implementing was very accurate, and there were few mistakes. However, some small accidents occurred now. The stowaway boat responsible for short-distance transportation was earlier than planned, which made Dulin very accurate. He sensed something wasn't right. If it were normal, he wouldn't think this was a problem, and eating a little earlier would be just a trivial matter. But the current situation is special, and a small mistake may make him lose all his previous efforts. He cannot be careless, and any unreasonable things need to be treated with more caution.
Du Lin glanced at his watch again and said, "Take the people on board to take a look first, pay attention to safety, and come back immediately if anything happens."
Savi nodded vigorously, and led some people to row the boat towards the boat parked outside the pier not far away. Du Lin looked at this compatriot, smiled and pointed to the stool next to the table, "Let's talk."
After Savi boarded the stowaway boat, he didn't notice anything unusual. There were only three people on the boat. One is the captain of the stowaway boat, the guy in charge of driving the boat, and a helper. Apart from these three people, there is no one else. Savvy did a simple search and found that they were not carrying any weapons. Everything was very normal and there was nothing wrong at all.
Du Lin hesitated for a while, but finally decided to get on the boat. If you don't leave now, it may not be easy to leave tomorrow. The tunnels left on the other side of the manor have been discovered, and Dulin doesn't expect the people responsible for chasing him to be fools. Once they discovered the direction of the tunnel, they could easily guess that he would leave by water. After all, this was also the fastest route. As long as they have such speculation, Dulin and the others will most likely not be able to leave. Notifying the Navy does not require these people to go to the naval base to ask the Navy what to do. They only need to make a phone call and the Navy will dispatch.
After the group got on the boat, the captain said hello to Du Lin and ran to the cockpit. Everything went so smoothly. It was so smooth that Du Lin always felt that something was not right. There must be something that he had overlooked. He glanced at the blurry shadow on the dock of the distant fishing village and the small fishing village without lights, and suddenly stopped. Dufo and Savvy looked at him strangely, and he suddenly turned around and walked towards the cab.
After Dulin walked in, the captain and the pilot glanced at him. The crew member greeted Dulin and then operated the rudder seriously. Du Lin glanced at the two people, and then said, "Go east."
The place he had agreed with the Imperial Navy was in the waters north of this place. The Empire was north of the Federation, and the warships would dock about five nautical miles outside the waters north of the Federation. This was also what was originally agreed upon. As long as Dulin gets on this warship, it can basically be said that everything is settled. But now he had a vague feeling that something was not quite right. This feeling had been lingering in his mind since he arrived in this small fishing village, and he couldn't get rid of it. He didn't know if he was too sensitive or if there was something he had overlooked. To be on the safe side, he decided to change his plan.
Changing the plan itself carries great risks. It may trigger a series of changes, or it may avoid unknown risks.
The captain was stunned for a moment and said, "The place we want to go is to the north."
Du Lin nodded, "I know, now I change my plan and go to the east and keep walking."
"But...", the captain wanted to explain something else, but a trace of imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes.
Du Lin was not called Du Lin at this time. He used a pseudonym. To put it simply, he was now a wealthy businessman, but the business he engaged in was not so legal. After his business was successful, perhaps due to conscience or other reasons, he began to want to take care of his fellow tribesmen, and often assisted some of his fellow tribesmen financially in order to gain more and better reputations.
Dulin felt that if there was a problem, then the problem lay in his identity - he was a "good guy" who was willing to help others and was rich.
Savi did not give the captain a chance to explain. He suddenly kicked the captain on the leg. The captain suddenly lost his center of gravity and knelt down with a cry. A cold thing was pressed against his head. At the same time, Duffer also took out his pistol and put it against the crew member's head.
"Now, I say, go east!"
