Lie, who had been silent all this time, sneered and said.
"Those white guys are shameless bastards, devils!"
"180 years ago, they brought the virus to my hometown and killed all my people!"
There was also a murderous look in Ji Changsheng's eyes, but now is not the time to settle old scores, there are more important things to do in front of him.
"Aning, go ahead."
Only then did everyone put away their anger and continue to listen to Aning's translation.
Three months ago, John drove the Neptune to the South China Sea with more than 30 crew members.
In order to avoid the Huaxia Coast Guard and Navy, they circled a large circle at sea and stopped at an island country in the Pacific Ocean, patiently looking for opportunities.
It wasn't until a month ago that the company sent a group of people to assist John that the Neptune sailed towards this coral forest.
But what John didn't expect was that they encountered a strange and bizarre event in this sea area!
Chapter 788 The Mysterious Bronze Coffin
John is 54 years old and has more than 30 years of sailing experience. He has served as the captain of three ocean-going ships and is also an expert in salvage.
In the entire industry, there are only a handful of people who can surpass John in terms of qualifications and business capabilities.
That's why the company's senior management entrusted him with this task, but what made him dissatisfied was that he was clearly in charge of the project, but before the start of work, the company sent another group of people.
In name, this group of people came to assist him, but in fact they seized his command, and the leader was a shareholder of the company.
A rich man worth hundreds of millions went overseas to perform a mission in person, which also made John realize that this mission is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface!
Based on his experience, he guessed that most of the shipwrecks contained priceless treasures, or important cultural relics involved in historical mysteries.
But it's none of his business. He just wants to do his job well, and it's enough to get his due reward. It has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to get involved.
Under the command of that shareholder, they quietly bypassed the border defense of the Coast Guard and sailed into the South China Sea.
After ten days of searching at sea, the location of the sunken ship was finally found, and salvage operations began at sea.
When Aning said this, Hu Bayi immediately waved his hands.
"Wait a minute, something doesn't look right here."
Others also saw that something was wrong. Zhang Yingchuan said that he only discovered the foreign cargo ship breaking into the South China Sea yesterday morning, but according to the logbook records, the Neptune broke into the South China Sea as early as a month ago!
The ship stayed in the South China Sea for a full month before being discovered by the Huaxia side. Was it because they had special means to evade the coast guard, or was it because of other reasons?
Wang Kaixuan said with a puzzled look.
"Is the logbook lying?"
Aning shook his head.
"John has no need to lie, and usually the logbook will not lie."
"I guess they should have escaped the inspection of the coast guard."
Ji Changsheng waved his hands.
"Don't worry about it, just keep reading."
Aning nodded and continued to read.
20 days ago, when John and the others discovered the location of the sunken ship, they immediately started operations in that sea area.
According to the coordinate records in the logbook, that sea area is not here, but in the coral islands more than 600 nautical miles away!
The wreck was close to a small island, which was located on the outskirts of the Coral Islands. The entire archipelago was a barren no-man's land, which provided them with cover.
The salvage process went smoothly at the beginning. On the first day, several large boxes were salvaged, all of which were of excellent gold bricks, and there were marks on them of the imperial treasury of the Qing Dynasty.
The harvest on the first day is enough to recover the cost, and the things salvaged next are all net profits.
The crew got very drunk that night, celebrating that they were about to make a fortune.
But on the second day, the situation changed. There were only some broken pieces of porcelain in the salvaged box, and there was no complete piece of porcelain. In their eyes, it was a pile of worthless garbage.
On the third day, the salvaged boxes were full of antique calligraphy and paintings, but after being soaked in seawater, most of these things became waste products. There were few decent things, and their value was greatly reduced.
On the fourth day, the situation was even worse. Several divers returned empty-handed after working underwater for half a day. They said that the bottom of the sunken ship was completely filled with sand and it was difficult to salvage it. Nothing of value was found.
This bad news greatly affected the morale of the crew. Some people began to complain that it was meaningless to continue salvaging here at the risk of being discovered by the navy. It was better to return home as soon as possible to avoid fear at sea.
But the shareholder told them that the truly valuable treasures are at the bottom of the sunken ship, and they can be found as long as the sand is dug out.
Although the difficulty is great, the shareholder promises to the crew that as long as they find what they want, everyone's reward will be doubled!
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a great reward.
Under the lure of money, the crew mustered their courage and continued to salvage.
Cleaning up the mud and sand on the bottom of the ship was not an easy task. They used the most advanced machines, divided into three shifts, and worked continuously for 72 hours before finally clearing the mud and sand.
But to the surprise of the crew, under the sand, there is no treasure chest as they imagined, only a strange bronze coffin!
Foreigners have never seen Huaxia's bronze coffin. In their eyes, it is a bulky and worthless ominous thing.
But the shareholder was overjoyed after seeing the photos taken underwater, and gave the crew a bonus on the spot, saying that this was what he was looking for, as long as he got the coffin up, he would return immediately.
So the crew cheered up again, set up a huge salvage frame, and it took a full three days to salvage the bronze coffin.
It was ten days ago that the water came out of the bronze coffin.
When the huge bronze coffin was hoisted on the deck, it was just as the sun was setting.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the bronze coffin, glowing with a layer of weird blue light, flickering like flames.
When the crew took a closer look at the coffin, they realized that it was a real treasure!
The casting process of the bronze coffin is very superb, with hollow out carvings, coiling dragons and crouching phoenixes, and every detail reveals the mysterious atmosphere of the East.
Experienced people infer that this coffin has a history of at least 2000 years. The owner lying in it is either a king or a nobleman. There must be rich funerary objects in the coffin!
The crew members talked one after another, no wonder the shareholders would spend a lot of money to ask them to salvage the coffin. In fact, this coffin was the most valuable thing in the sunken ship, and they were all fooled.
The shareholder was not angry when he heard what the crew said, he told everyone.
"Actually, I don't know what this coffin is. It's just a request from a big client. He paid a sky-high price for this coffin."
"The price is enough to buy three Neptunes!"
The Neptune is a large professional salvage ship with a price of over US$[-] million!
And the price that the mysterious client offered for the bronze coffin was US$[-] million!
After hearing these words, the crew members were shocked, and a thought popped up in their hearts.
What is in this bronze coffin that can be worth [-] million? !
Some were out of curiosity, some out of greed. In short, eight crew members sneaked into the cargo hold that night, trying to open the bronze coffin to see what was going on.
But what people didn't expect was that the eight people all disappeared the next day!
People only picked up tools such as flashlights and crowbars left by them in the cargo hold, and there were footprints of eight people on the floor, but they searched every corner of the ship, and they did not see their shadows.
It's like they just evaporated out of thin air!
Chapter 789 What Happened Later
When Aning said this, there was a trace of panic in his eyes, and he raised his head and looked around anxiously.
The hearts of the other elders were bigger, they were only attracted by the contents of the logbook, and did not feel scared.
Wang Kaixuan hurriedly urged.
"Miss Aning, hurry up and read on, what happened afterwards?"
Only then did Aning stabilize his mind, lowered his head and continued to read the logbook.
After the mysterious disappearance of eight crew members, the atmosphere on the ship suddenly became delicate.
Judging from the traces at the scene, these eight people must have coveted the treasures in the bronze coffin, and secretly came to steal the treasures in the middle of the night.
But how they disappeared, there are different opinions.
Some people think that it was the secret hands of the shareholders who killed those people and threw their bodies into the sea.
Some people think that the bronze coffin is the cause. There are many mysterious ancient legends in the East, just like the curse of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh. Those eight people offended the undead in the bronze coffin and died under the mysterious curse!
Some people even suggested that the bronze coffin is a harmful thing and must be thrown into the sea to protect the safety of others.
Seeing that things were getting worse and worse, the shareholders had no choice but to come forward to appease everyone.
He told the crew that as long as the bronze coffin was successfully escorted back to the country, everyone would get a large sum of money. If the bronze coffin could not be sent back, they would not get a penny.
These crew members spend many years at sea to earn a living, and most of them do illegal activities such as drug trafficking. Almost all of them are a group of desperadoes who don't care about their lives and only want money.
So the Neptune set off for its return journey nine days ago, and is expected to sail out of the coral forest within two days, and return to the United States to deliver the bronze coffin within two months.
But what John didn't expect was that after sailing for two days, the Neptune did not sail out of the coral forest.
After wandering around the sea for two days, they actually returned to the place where they salvaged the sunken ship!
John and his crew are all experienced veterans. The Neptune is equipped with the most advanced navigation instruments, and there is no extreme weather in the nearby sea area. No matter how you think about it, you should not lose your way.
But the truth is, they got lost at sea!
This made the crew immediately think of the mysterious bronze coffin. Could it be that this ominous thing is at work?
A crew member said that it must be because they offended the undead in the coffin that they were trapped in the coral forest. If they wanted to escape, they had to throw the bronze coffin back into the sea.
Under his instigation, many crew members united to protest to the shareholders, and wanted to throw the bronze coffin back into the sea, otherwise they would execute it by force!
When the shareholders saw that things were not going well, they were not afraid, but turned their faces on the spot.
It turned out that the group of people brought by the shareholders included not only relevant experts, but also some ruthless professional killers. These people were invited to suppress the situation and prevent people from coveting treasures.
Unexpectedly, when the matter developed to such a point, the shareholders issued an attack order to the killers.
Those crew members were not easy to save fuel, and two groups of people immediately launched a fierce gun battle on board.
The gun battle was fierce, and the deck and cabin were stained red with blood.
Although the crew members are all desperadoes and still have an advantage in numbers, the professional assassins under the shareholders are all professionals, well-trained and battle-tested, and the strength of the two sides is not at the same level.
