The Amazing son in law Chapter 7844
On the dark and calm sea, a research vessel flying the Japanese flag was sailing steadily.
Before entering the Roaring Forties, the sea was relatively calm. Both large and small ships could see each other using their shipboard radar. Within a radius of several kilometers, there were only two ships, one large and one small.
This Japanese research vessel was Wu Bolin (Bick)’s target this time.
Even with his strength, he couldn’t traverse the entire Roaring Forties on his own, so he needed to find a research vessel to hitch a ride on, preferably to find a place to stay in Antarctica.
Of the research vessels that have departed from Ushuaia these days, only the Japanese ship is from East Asia. Although Wu Bolin (Bick) had not seen Japanese people since the First Sino-Japanese War, he knew that since they were both from East Asia, there was not much difference in physical characteristics between Chinese and Japanese people. So, mingling with the Japanese research team was the best option for him at the moment.
As the two ships drew closer, Wu Bolin (Bick) was preparing to board them by wading when they got even closer. However, when the other ship detected the approaching distance on its radar, it changed course and prepared to circle around the other ship at a safe distance. Upon seeing this, Wu Bolin (Bick) immediately instructed Wu Siyuan to send a distress signal to the other ship via the intercom system.
Wu Siyuan shouted into the intercom in fluent English: “Help! Help! This is ARG7717. Our boat has lost power, is damaged, taking on water and about to sink. Requesting assistance from JRC5990!”
At this moment, on the Japanese research vessel with IMO number JRC5990, the duty officer immediately called the captain via radio: “Captain Sato, we have received a distress call from a vessel with IMO number ARG7717. The vessel is about five nautical miles away from us. It has encountered a malfunction and is about to sink. We request instructions.”
A deep voice came through the walkie-talkie: “Ignore him, full speed ahead! We don’t have time to waste on the Argentine boat. Let them contact the Argentine maritime rescue department!”
The driver on duty blurted out instinctively, “But the other side is about to sink…”
The captain coldly replied, “Baka! So what if we sink? We’ve traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to get here to carry out the glorious mission of Japanese Antarctic scientific research, not to rescue Argentine fishermen. Their lives are none of our business! Full speed ahead!”
The driver on duty had no choice but to respectfully reply, “Yes, Captain Sato! I understand!”
Inside the fishing boat, Wu Siyuan watched as the enemy on the radar grew farther and farther away, and its speed increased. His face darkened as he said, “Damn it, instead of coming to rescue us, this Japanese research vessel is speeding up and taking a detour!”
“Damn it!” Wu Bolin (Bick) cursed angrily, “Didn’t you say that people are becoming more and more friendly these days? And that there’s this international humanitarian spirit, how can there still be people who refuse to help those in distress?! What kind of humanitarianism is this?”
Wu Siyuan was also very frustrated.
He was the one who gave Wu Bolin (Bick) this idea, because he thought that since Wu Bolin (Bick) could use his spiritual energy to control other people’s minds, as long as he could lure the Japanese research ship over, he could leave the rest to him. But who would have thought that the Japanese ship would not only not come, but would instead speed up its escape, which was too unethical.
Helpless, he said with shame, “I’m sorry, Elder, I overestimated their character. Why don’t we wait a little longer? There’s another research vessel leaving tonight, it’s from Canada.”
