"What are you going to do? Kill people?" Ling Hao stared at Zhu Xin with wide eyes. In his heart, Zhu Xin was an outstanding criminal policeman who adhered to the bottom line of the law. He was never willing to go beyond the rules. Unexpectedly, this time She actually planned to kill the poachers.
Zhuxin rolled her eyes at him: "I can tell at a glance that you are legally illiterate. Do you know how serious the crime of poaching is? You have also seen that these people have sophisticated weapons in their hands. They are a group of desperadoes with sophisticated weapons and cruel methods. , based on the content in the video just now, as long as they are caught, no matter which country's law they are, they will be sentenced to jail. Since they choose to do this, they will be very clear about the consequences and will carry out the arrest operation. It is normal to resist wildly and be shot to death. We, a group of ordinary people, encountered armed poachers and acted bravely, which can be regarded as self-defense. Let's go, if we go too late, more animals may be tortured and killed by them."
Peter still felt guilty and said: "These desperadoes are loaded with live ammunition and well-equipped. Should we also get some thermal weapons? After all, the effective range of the guys they have is more than 400 meters."
The veterans like Tieshi all laughed, while Bai Mei jokingly patted Old Pete on the shoulder and said, "Peter, didn't you serve in the Rangers? I have dealt with this special force, and its quality is not the best." Low. The opponents are just a group of untrained Muggles. Even if we only have one knife, we can still take them down. What's more, the spear guns in our hands are not fire sticks. Don't you leave the army and your skills remain? Are you in the military camp?"
Peter blushed a little. After leaving the army for so long, he had returned to the mentality of an ordinary person. It was not that he had forgotten the tactics on the battlefield and the methods used in training, but it was just as if he had been covered in dust and could not think of them for a moment. Go to "retrieve" it and use it.
Farewell to Granny Eli, under the leadership of the sea witch, the "Marian" left "Valhalla" and headed towards the Barents Sea. The big man's name was "Bado" and he followed Ling Hao and the others. In name, he was leading the way to find the "Rocky" organization. In fact, he was supervising Ling Hao and the others to fulfill their agreement. Everyone knew this, but no one said it.
Ling Hao and Zhu Xin stood on the bow of the boat, letting the cold sea breeze blow across their faces. Not only did this coldness not extinguish the anger in their hearts, but it actually made the fighting spirit burn even more intensely.
Ling Hao asked softly: "When we find them, we will do the work. You are a criminal police officer, so you don't have to let these scum get your hands dirty."
Zhuxin looked at Ling Hao in surprise, showed a helpless smile, and then swung her Sassoon short hair arrogantly: "Ling Hao, you are a true warrior. Because of the relationship between you and me, I know You have some past experiences that you don’t want me to know, but I believe in your character and have enough confidence in your choices. Can you honestly tell me how many people you have killed?"
Ling Hao was speechless. This was the last thing he wanted to discuss with Zhu Xin. He was afraid that his past and the smell of smoke and blood on his body would be difficult for the other party to accept, thus creating a sense of distance between the two, which would even be difficult to bridge. of cracks. But since Zhuxin asked this question very seriously, he knew that some things could never be escaped. He took a deep breath of the cold and salty air of the Barents Sea, as if to replenish his courage. , said word by word: "I can't remember the specific number, but there are eight hundred if not one thousand. On the battlefield, I have no choice. If I don't kill, others will kill me. After leaving the battlefield, I kill Everyone deserves to die, and no one is innocent. I can swear that I have never killed anyone who was unarmed or had no blood debt." He looked into Zhu Xin's eyes stubbornly, his eyes clear and innocent. He didn't dodge, he had no regrets or guilt in his heart, and his soul was not stained with any blood or dust.
Zhuxin smiled and nodded: "I also concealed the same things from you for the same reason. I know that if I want to marry you, some forbidden secrets must be shared with each other one day. Rather than clarifying them after marriage, It's better to make it clear before marriage. If you can't accept each other, your youth will not be wasted. You know that I am an Interpol. I face extremely vicious international criminals. The level of danger is not much lower than your job. I am a police officer. So far, 32 people have been shot dead, and every one of them is a scumbag who deserves it. If you feel that your hands are already stained with blood, then the same is true for me. The smell of gun oil and blood cannot be washed away no matter how hard you wash it. . I am a policeman. I exist to uphold justice, punish evil and promote good, not to follow any dogma or submit to any procedure. If you think it is right, you should do it. If you don’t even have the kindness in your heart, If I can’t protect my integrity and integrity, then what’s the point of wearing that police uniform?”
Ling Hao was a little moved. He gently took Zhu Xin into his arms. In silence, the two of them stared at the vast sea. After a long time, Lin Hao said with emotion: "You and I are the same kind of people."
"Well, so I know that Annie will never be able to take you away from me." Zhuxin pinched Ling Hao's slightly bearded chin lovingly, and the latter hugged him tighter. , the hot kiss seemed to melt the icebergs on the Barents Sea.
"Would you like to go back to the house and finish your trip? Why don't you stand on the bow of the boat and don't mind being exposed to the sun?!" Old Pete was sitting on a fixed pile on the deck carrying a bottle of vodka, seeming to be drinking it by himself. " "Lonely." God knows how this old bachelor from Florida speaks Mandarin with an accent close to Tieling.
The Barents Sea, located to the north of Norway and Russia, is one of the edge seas of the Arctic Ocean. There are many shoals in the southeast and is not frozen all year round. The fish resources are extremely rich, so it supports a large number of sea animals, such as seals, whales, sea lions, Walruses, polar bears and other animals have naturally attracted the poaching organization "Rocky". They are entrenched here and engage in inhumane and illegal poaching operations all year round. Because of their elusiveness, sophisticated weapons, cruelty and cunning, the coast guard of coastal countries even There is nothing that can be done against them, but Ling Hao and the others are different. They are not law enforcers, but hunters with murderous intent. As hunters, they don’t need to know where the lion is, they just need to know where the lion’s prey is.
A huge ice floe, covering an area of more than one square kilometer, has been floating in the nearby sea for many years and is called a "floating island". Hundreds of walruses live on the island. This kind of animal is huge and has almost no natural enemies except polar bears. However, their tusks can be made into valuable handicrafts, so they are also coveted by human poachers. In just a few decades, Its population has dropped sharply from millions to more than 70,000, and it has been listed as an endangered species.
The "Marian" took advantage of the darkness to ambush near the "Floating Island", and all the lights on the ship were extinguished, blending into the dark night. The walruses on the island had already fallen asleep and did not notice the faint sound of motors coming from far away. An old-fashioned fishing boat turned off its engine and slowly approached the "floating island". There were more than a dozen burly men on the boat, each of them holding an AK rifle in his hand. Taking advantage of the darkness, these big men climbed onto the ice floe and tiptoed close to the walrus group in the distance. All the bullets were loaded, and a massacre was about to begin.
Suddenly, a slight sound broke through the air, and an arrow about a foot long appeared on the temple of the big man walking at the end. He fell to the ice without even having time to scream. Since he was last, the others didn't even notice. There was the sound of several more arrows piercing the air, and four or five big men fell to the ground. Some were hit by arrows in their necks, and some were shot through their chests. Blood sprayed everywhere like water pipes bursting. Now these people panicked. They looked around, trying to find who had attacked them, but the surroundings were completely white. Except for a large group of walruses not far away, where was the shadow of any living thing? In panic, they didn't care where the target was and started shooting randomly in all directions. The walruses were awakened and jumped off the ice floe one after another and escaped into the water. The sound of arrows piercing the air was still orderly. In the end, only two big men were left without being hit by arrows, while all the others were shot dead.
The white camouflage cloth was lifted, and masked special forces carrying spearguns surrounded them from all sides. The two big men were so frightened that they quickly dropped their guns, raised their hands and knelt on the ground to surrender. A masked woman in the lead asked in English: "Are you from 'Loki'?"
"Yes. Please, don't kill me!"
"Where is your base camp?"
"...We are just juniors and have never been to the base camp." A guy kneeling on the ground obviously lied. He was afraid that he would be retaliated by the organization after betraying the organization. There was just a "boom" sound, and a fish arrow had pierced his chest. The masked man who did it turned out to be Peter. Bai Mei's words really stimulated him, reminding him of the dogma and the style of performing tasks during his service. , being kind to the enemy is an accomplice in killing teammates. At this moment, his eyes no longer have the hesitation of ordinary people, replaced by determination and calmness.
There was a stinking smell, and the other guy kneeling on the ground had already peed his pants in fear, so he told everything he knew without being asked. Ling Hao and the others didn't kill him. They were not a group of murderous people. However, it was necessary to destroy the communication system on the other side's fishing boat. He left a sentence: "There will be no 'Loki' in the future. You can find another job." "Be a good person, if you continue to do this business, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fishes next time." After that, Ling Hao and the others left the man behind and sailed straight to a legendary place on the Barents Sea - "New Zealand Island".
Novaya Zemlya is a large island with an area of more than 80,000 square kilometers. It is famous because it is the most important nuclear test base of the former Soviet Union. As many as 130 nuclear explosion tests were conducted here, among which the most famous The one was the "Khrushchev bomb" with an equivalent of 50 million tons. Although no nuclear tests have been conducted here since 1990, no one can tell how much radiation remains on the island. Being sparsely populated is a good place for criminals to hide.
Just an hour later, a wooden house on Novaya Zemlya was attacked by a group of suspected military personnel. Strangely, the opponent did not use any thermal weapons, but relied on advanced crossbow weapons, killing nearly 30 people in just 5 minutes. armed poachers and burned a large number of seized animal skins, walruses and narwhal teeth.
A masked woman grabbed a big Nordic man by the hair and asked sternly: "Where is your boss Bayenov?"
"He took a dozen brothers on a whaling boat to hunt woolly whales! It's on the ocean not far to the west."
"Baby whale? Is there really such an animal now?" Ling Hao and others were a little surprised. The legend about the baleen whale has a long history and has been spread among sailors and fishermen. There are also many contradictions in the descriptions. It is unclear which ones are true and which ones are false. To sum up, the more common sayings are: The bald whale is about the same size as a humpback whale. It is covered with white hair. It has a long trunk like an elephant and a tail like a lobster. It is ferocious and powerful. The most recent report was in 1924. At that time, many tourists saw a battle between a woolly whale and two killer whales on Margate Beach in South Africa. For a time, newspapers around the world rushed to report on it, making it well known to everyone. However, no one has ever captured this animal, not even a corpse. Therefore, many people think that this is a fake news, just like the Loch Ness Monster. Some people think that it is the corpse of a whale, with a long The white hair is just the connective tissue left behind after the whale carcass has decomposed.
However, Ling Hao knew that the woolly whale was a real creature, because Shui Lingxing once mentioned to him that this is a magical creature as old and rare as the "White Ruo Lingtu". They don't eat anything and rely entirely on their food. It survives by absorbing the extremely cold air from the bottom of the sea. It has powerful abilities and extremely high intelligence. It can be said to be a spiritual beast bred by heaven and earth. Strictly speaking, it has no kinship with whales at all. According to Shui Lingxing, the ability of the bald whale is very terrifying. If it becomes angry, its long nose will spit out a strange cold air, and a large area of the surrounding seawater will freeze, and it can freeze its enemies alive into ice sculptures. It would be okay if the idiots organized by "Rocky" didn't encounter the woolly whale. If they did happen to happen to do so, and they planned to attack Tai Sui, they would probably be annihilated.
"Let's go and have a look. Maybe there will be a good show waiting for us." Ling Hao was in a good mood, beckoning everyone to board the boat. The "Rocky" organization is about to be destroyed, and the last remaining big man can no longer engage in poaching activities on his own, so there is no need to kill them all. Looking at the retreating figures of Ling Hao and the others, the big man collapsed on the ground and cried bitterly, as if he was a human being again.
On the sea, the boss of "Rocky" Bayenov stood behind the fishing cannon and the helmsman gave instructions loudly. Black smoke was rising from the chimney of the old whaler. The diesel engine had reached the limit of use, and the speed had climbed to 25 knots. This was It can be regarded as a "sports car" speed among fishing boats. Less than a hundred meters directly in front of the bow, there was a huge animal swimming quickly. Even in the middle of the night, just relying on the light on the fishing boat, you could still see the streamlined figure of the huge white animal underwater.
"A little closer, I only need 40 meters to fire! If we catch the bald whale, we will make a fortune. Then we will be able to eat and drink comfortably for the rest of our lives, and we will never have to freeze at sea again!" Bayenov screamed with excitement, and the helmsman almost cried. The engine was already overloaded. Let alone continue to increase speed, even the current speed could not be maintained for a while. At most, the engine would explode in 10 minutes.
How could Bayenov not know that this broken ship was at the end of its strength? However, he was unwilling to let the woolly whale go like this. This was the glory and wealth of his life, how could he let it pass him by? So Bayenov uttered a curse word, aimed his fishing cannon at the back of the whale and fired. As soon as the cannon was fired, the woolly whale seemed to realize something. It swung its body sideways, and the huge harpoon with the rope was shot from its side into the water without hurting a hair on it.
Although he was not injured, he completely angered the woolly whale. To be honest, in terms of strength, humans are like ants in the eyes of the woolly whale. From an intellectual point of view, the woolly whale is by no means simpler than these with well-developed limbs. He is a reckless man, but as for his methods, will a legendary sea monster-level "mythical beast" be so easy to deal with? Only those idiots who are blinded by the smell of copper, think that they are civilized just because they wear clothes, think that they are the spirits of all things, and think that they are invincible when they have two guns in their hands, will hunt this kind of existence with their whims. It swung its tail and plunged into the deep sea. Bayenov lost his target and became furious. He cursed obscenely and completely without noticing that there was a ship less than 1 nautical mile behind them. The boat was following behind, and Ling Hao and others were standing on the bow, watching the show with binoculars in hand.
Just a moment later, a huge white shadow rushed vertically from the bottom of the sea to the surface like a sharp sword. A violent metal collision sounded. The fully loaded fishing boat with a displacement of 500 tons was lifted up more than ten meters high, and then flipped upside down. On the sea surface, a large hole in the bottom of the boat was clearly visible. In just ten minutes, the ship sank, and several people were splashing in the sea. This was the Arctic Ocean. They had ten minutes at most to live, and then they would be frozen into popsicles and sink into the icy abyss.
"Let's go. The poaching organization 'Loki' no longer exists." Ling Hao waved to the people watching the excitement on the deck and prepared to go back to the cabin. Unexpectedly, before taking a few steps, I heard a "boom" sound, and the ship's hull shook violently, as if it had hit a rock.
