Magnolia City is located in the south of Qionghua City. It is a first-tier city in China and the city with the largest population. Its level of development is among the best in the entire world.
This is the first time for Zhang Xiaoman to come to Magnolia City. Compared with the beautiful natural scenery and culture of Qionghua City, this place gives people more of a modern metropolitan feel. The high-rise buildings combined with the busy traffic add to a contemporary life. sense of compactness.
However, Zhang Xiaoman had no time to visit this international financial capital today. As soon as he came out of the train station, he got on the bus bound for Xingang Pier.
Newport Pier.
This is a super-large comprehensive passenger terminal that was just established in Haishi a year ago. Not only does a large number of passenger ships come in and out every day, but there is also an area specifically for private cruise ships to dock.
Of course, its price is also staggeringly expensive.
Everything here is brand new, and many convenient facilities are very considerate. The entire port is like a large community.
Zhang Xiaoman found a random restaurant for lunch here. Since he didn't know if he would get seasick, he didn't dare to eat too much. He just rested his stomach a little and waited quietly for the appointed time in this air-conditioned room. 's arrival
Looking at his phone boredly, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly raised his head and his eyes were attracted by the TV hanging in the hall, where a replay of yesterday's news was playing.
“Yesterday, small-scale level 2 tsunamis occurred in many places around the Pacific Rim. Although its destructive power was not high, its scale was the largest that humans have ever encountered. Thirteen areas in our country alone were affected. It reached more than a hundred places, causing huge economic losses... Experts pointed out that the cause of this large-scale tsunami may be crustal movement from the deep water area in the central Pacific Ocean, and called on the general public to avoid going to sea as much as possible in the near future..."
After reading this report, Zhang Xiaoman felt very depressed. Why was God so uncooperative when he was just about to take a quick sea trip?
This made him a little worried about whether his travel plan could proceed smoothly.
After waiting for almost an hour, Zhang Xiaoman followed the road signs to Port No. 19, which is a place specially designed for private cruise ships to dock.
Inhaling the sea breeze blowing in front of him, Zhang Xiaoman squinted his eyes in enjoyment. This feeling of coolness with a hint of salty breath was something he had never experienced before.
This is an open-air port. Due to its special nature, there are not many docked ships, but at a glance, they are all small private cruise ships with exquisite appearance.
Zhang Xiaoman walked south along the pier, and finally stopped in front of a platform marked "10", where four or five young men and women wearing casual shirts and sunhats had gathered. .
When they saw someone walking towards them, they all looked over curiously. After confirming that Zhang Xiaoman's destination was theirs, one of them also walked out from under the sunshade pavilion.
Zhang Xiaoman saw the person coming and asked, "Is this the 'Danlan Adventure Group'? I was introduced by Xiao Shun. My name is Zhang Xiaoman."
The man took off his sunglasses, showed a sunny smile on his face, and said:
"Oh, brother, you are the new member of our group, a distinguished guest that Mr. Xiao has specially taken care of. My name is Yang Yangyang, and I am the initiator of this adventure. I heard that Mr. Xiao injured his thigh and can't come. What a pity! Ah! , by the way, come on, let me introduce you to the others!"
The man looked very enthusiastic. After saying a lot in one breath, he called out the other people and introduced them one by one:
"Here are the most idle big shots in our group. These two are Hu Peng and Xun You, nicknamed Hu Peng Gouyou. They are also two friends who grew up playing together. This is Ji Xiaoqi, the beauty of our group. She is worthy of responsibility and the only goddess in our group."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded to several people and introduced himself. At the same time, he also secretly noted down the looks of several people.
The three boys are all tall and handsome, with a height similar to themselves, about 180cm.
The girl has a pretty and pleasant appearance, and is not short either. Her height of nearly 1.7 meters is considered tall among girls.
When several people introduced each other, they all took off their sunglasses. Zhang Xiaoman could tell just from this detail that they should be rich second-generation people with good family education, at least not the kind of playboys who are particularly difficult to get along with. .
Then he turned his attention to the last remaining tall white man. Zhang Xiaoman looked at him curiously, and Yang Yangyang also introduced him at this time:
"This handsome man is the professional wilderness survival consultant hired by our group - Bell O Stafford. We all like to call him Mr. Bei."
"Hello." Bell stretched out his hand and said hello in somewhat non-standard Mandarin.
"Hello."
Zhang Xiaoman also stretched out his hand and shook the opponent's hand.
There are strong muscles and rough calluses at the beginning. It can be seen that the man in front of him, known as Mr. Bei, must be a veteran who often travels to the wilderness.
"Bei Ye used to be a special soldier of the Royal Air Service of England. Not only is he rich in wilderness survival knowledge, but he is also very skilled. When we encountered danger several times, it was only thanks to his help that we successfully survived the crisis." Yang Yangyang introduced.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded, but couldn't help but think of Wu Feng.
Although Wu Feng is now the security captain of the Su Family Group, I heard that he was also the soldier king of a certain ace special forces unit in China. I just wonder if he has good wild survival abilities like Mr. Bei.
Oh, by the way, that’s not what Su Fu calls him. He seems to be called “Chief Security Advisor”…
After a few people got to know each other, Yang Yangyang led everyone to prepare to board the ship.
Zhang Xiaoman looked around with some confusion and asked, "Huh? Why is there no one else?"
Yang Yangyang explained: "There are still a few guys who are temporarily unable to come because of something. We are the only group members going overseas this time. But don't worry, in view of the long distance this time, I have hired a professional ocean-going team. One captain and five sailors, plus ourselves, is enough!"
Zhang Xiaoman listened to his words and looked at the huge white ship docked at the pier in front of him. He couldn't help but secretly lamented that this rich man's game was indeed different from his own.
"This is our ship. How about it? Isn't it cool?"
Yang Yangyang led everyone aboard, while introducing Zhang Xiaoman.
"This guy is a decommissioned sailing ship that we managed to get. It used to be the exclusive training ship of our Chinese navy. It took a lot of effort to get it!"
