A few days later, on an uninhabited island in the great sea route, the warship slowly stopped.
"Commander, that is Bell of Death Mountain.”Kelly pointed at the island and said.
Zhan Guo nodded and looked at the mountain that looked like an inverted bell. He exhaled and said,"
"Five people in a team, search the entire island. If there is any situation, fire a gun.”
"Yes."
The soldiers quickly responded and quickly went to the island, forming a line to search the place.
Zhan Guo also walked forward.
After passing through many trees, Zhan Guo asked,""Is there any news from the intelligence department?”
"No, Captain John and his crew have disappeared since he arrived here.”
"There's no sign of him in the other seas?”
"Yes!"
Zhan Guo remained silent.
His next target was the treasure lover, the pirate Captain John, who had a bounty of 476 million Bailey.
The sea was huge. If they didn't stay in a fixed position like the raiders, they would have to wait for them to cause trouble or swagger in front of the public to find out the whereabouts of a pirate.
Captain John's last stop was here, and then he disappeared.
Therefore, in order to find his whereabouts, Zhan Guo decided to come to the island to look for him.
If they were hiding on the island, it would save them a lot of time to find them. Both sides could just start a war.
If he wasn't here, then he would find out the reason for his disappearance and follow the clues.
As long as there was action, a famous pirate would definitely be dug out.
Soon, Zhan Guo arrived at the ring on top of the Death Bell Mountain.
In front of him was a bottomless, pitch-black mountain with a hollow center.
Zhan Guo activated his Knowledge Eye and looked down. However, other than some small animals, he did not find any human aura.
"Meiyu!"
"What? Yes!"
Miha, who had been following behind Sengoku, immediately saluted him.
"Use your ability to explore the entire mountain and see if there are any secret caves or buried things.”
"Oh, okay."
Meiyu nodded in agreement. She had often gone deep underground to search for treasures, so she was already familiar with it.
With the ability to pierce through, Miha slowly sank into the ground.
"Let's go down and see if we can find anything.”
Zhan Guo leaned forward and jumped into the heart of the mountain.
Kelly followed.
……
Time passed slowly. A few hours later, everyone gathered at the port again.
"Commander, we found traces of a bonfire on the island. The John Pirates once rested on this island for a period of time. There's also an old treasure map that shows the address here.”
The soldier in charge of searching the island reported.
"Captain, oh no, Commander, I found some corpses in the mountains. They were holding gold necklaces in their hands.”
Mei Yu also stood up and reported.
"There are also traces of a battle in the mountain. The ship's doctor has also seen the corpses that Meiyu found. They are all crew members of John's Pirates, but there is no John.”Kelly said.
Zhan Guo sat on a rock and listened to his subordinate's report. He took out a cigar and pondered as he smoked.
How did Captain John die in the original novel?
It seemed that he wanted to take the treasure for himself but was killed by his own subordinates.
A person's character could not be changed easily…
"Based on the current situation…"
Zhan Guo spat out a mouthful of thick smoke and looked at the old treasure map and corpse in front of him. He shook his head and said,"
"This guy and his crew found the treasure, but he wanted to keep it for himself, so he killed his crew.”
"That should be the case. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why there were only the corpses of his crew members and no one else. If they were attacked by other pirates, it would be impossible for them not to leave any enemies behind with their strength.”Kelly nodded.
This kind of thing was not uncommon among pirates. Pirates went out to sea for treasures.
If they really found a large amount of treasure, it was hard to say how many people would be able to hold back their greed.
There were many pirate groups that killed each other and disappeared in this way.
"If that's the case, what should we do next, Commander?”
Kelly asked," We didn't find any clues about his next destination on the island. We don't know where he went after so long. Should we follow the route or change our target?"”
"There's no hurry. How long have those pirates been dead?”Zhan Guo smashed the cigarette butt in his hand, his eyes flickering as he pondered.
"The ship's doctor said it's been almost a month.”
"He hasn't appeared for a month. He should be enjoying himself somewhere. With the speed at which pirates spend money, won't he run out of money at this time?”
"It should be. Even if there's still some left, more than half of it should have been spent.”
"Ha!"
Zhan Guo laughed. Since money was so easily spent in the hands of pirates, then he could make an issue out of it.
He took out his phone bug and called the skeleton.
" Hello, I'm General Steel Skeleton."
The call was picked up and Gu Gukong's voice came through.
Zhan Guo didn't have the intention to chat. He went straight to the point and asked,"Steel General, do you have the contact information of the newspaper office?”
"Eh, Sengoku kid, why are you suddenly asking this?”
"Nothing, I just wanted to find them to send some news.”
"Oh, then do you want a big newspaper or a small one?”
When he heard that it was for the news, Gu Gukong did not ask further. He believed that Sengoku was not shooting his own gun at random. Whether it was the academy's SSS rating or the previous incident on Lelai Island, it had already proved that Sengoku was not only powerful, but also very good at scheming.
Moreover, he had been paying attention to the Sengoku Kingdom and knew that the current mission target was Captain John, who had disappeared for a month.
If he wanted to complete this mission, he had to either spend time slowly searching for it or lure the other party out.
This was probably the reason why he suddenly asked for the news agency's phone number.
"Big news agency, the bigger the better. It's best if it's famous all over the world.”Zhan Guo said without hesitation.
"It'll cost a lot of money, and it'll be paid in cash.”Gu Gukong said faintly.
"Uh-huh?" Zhan Guo raised his eyebrows." Isn't it the navy's reimbursement?”
"Hiss, you cunning brat. Fine, I'll look for it…Oh, I found it, remember it, the number is 010-6053****.”
"Goodbye."
"Remember to bargain with them. The operation funds of the headquarters are not..."
Pa.
Before the Steel Skeleton could finish speaking, the phone bug hung up.
Sengoku typed in the phone number.
Blu, Blu, Blu…
"Hello, this is the phone number of the president of the World Business News Agency. I'm his personal secretary. The president is currently accompanying his wife to give birth. If there's anything urgent, you can tell me."
The secretary's sweet and soft voice sounded on the other end of the phone."Or call back later.”
"How much does it cost for a private person to send you a piece of news?”
"I'm sorry, we're not that kind of small newspaper. We don't accept this kind of…"
"I'm from the navy, the Buddha's Warring States."
"Um…"
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Zhan Guo was not in a hurry. He smoked quietly and waited.
After a long while, the secretary's nervous voice sounded.
"Please, please wait for a moment. I'll go get the president.”
