48 Hours a Day

After returning to shore, Han Lu and Nellie went straight to the militia base, rejecting the offer of Uncle Boat to seek help from the Fisheries Association and not even to the island's police station.

This is because those things underwater, other than the army, have no way of dealing with them.

Nelly even behaved more urgently than Han Lu in this matter, not only because Zhang Heng saved her, but also because she could not imagine that such a large group of monsters lived not far from the island where she lived.

With the small number of people on the island, and the vast majority of them civilians with little fighting power, Nellie has not forgotten the wall carvings she saw before, but there are also patterns of monsters attacking human towns.

This is her hometown, where she lives her friends and relatives, and she has to protect it.

Nellie and Han Lu had just arrived at the door of the military base, where the two soldiers guarding the door immediately raised their rifles and warned, "This is a restricted military zone and is prohibited from entering without permission. ”

Afterwards, they appeared to have identified Han Lu as a tourist and repeated it in English.

Nellie raised her hands, indicating that she was not carrying any weapons, and said, “We have urgent business to see the person in charge here. ”

However, the two soldiers were indifferent, only to repeat, "This is a restricted military zone, and you must obtain permission to enter it, or we will have to ask you to leave. ”

“Come on, it's probably a big deal about the island's life and death.” Nellie Jiaoqiao.

The soldiers, however, were unaware and raised their rifles slightly.

“Do you know anybody in here? We might be able to get him to take us in.” Han Lu also saw that it was almost impossible for two people to go in this way.

Nellie shook her head, "These soldiers are not from the island. Except for exercises and training, they hardly ever leave the base. Usually we don't interact with them at all, but...”

“But what? ”

“Fisheries associations do have some contact with them, as if they were being given some seafood on a regular basis, and you're right, the person responsible for delivering seafood may know someone at the base.” Nellie said, “We can try them. ”

Nellie then contacted the sailing uncle, about a minute later, a man in military uniform, in his 40s, who looked quite capable, walked out of the base.

“Are you looking for me? ”

“Are you the person in charge here?” Nellie looked forward to it.

“No, I'm just the Chief of Staff, mainly responsible for the external procurement of the base.” The soldier on both sides took a gun and saluted him as he walked out the door, "the man said.

“Can you take us to the head of this place? ”

“Let's talk about what you're doing here.” The chief did not say yes, but he did not immediately refuse.

“Well, I know it sounds crazy, we used to dive in the underwater ruins, and the water suddenly turned red, and then we ran into the current, and when the current passed, one of our companions disappeared, and, um... the lady Han Lu next to me, and then we went into an underwater palace to find her. ”

“You?” the chief raised his eyebrows.

“Oh yes, there were three of us, I was a dive guide at the island dive club, and the other two were visitors to the island.” Nellie explained.

“Well, go on down. ”

“I don't know how to describe what I saw after that, a monster that looked like a fish attacked me, but then it was killed by another of our companions, uh... we swam all the way forward and met the missing Ms. Han Lu, but there were more monsters, and as far as I could see, there were hundreds of them, but I don't know if that's all of them, another companion of ours dragged us to the bottom of the ocean to save us...” Nellie's voice finally got swallowed up.

“You mean you were attacked by a bunch of mermaids? ”

“No, not mermaids, they look ugly, they have nothing to do with mermaids, and I'm not telling fairy tales, they're real, I saw them with my own eyes, I... I was too scared to photograph them, but I did photograph some stone carvings of the entrance. ”

Nellie was talking and handing over the camera.

The chief captain took a look at it and asked, "Have you shown these photos to anyone else? ”

“No, we came as soon as we got ashore.” Nellie is honest, "sir, please believe us, we know what happens when you lie about something like this. ”

Chief Chef hasn't spoken for a while, seemingly thinking about Nellie's proposal, and nodded momentarily, “Well, this is the militia base, and I can't let you in, but for the sake of Chairman Tanaka of the Fisheries Association, I'll report your words to my superiors, but I can't guarantee that he'll believe you, and I'll bring your camera with me, and these photos should make your story a little more convincing. ”

“Then please, it's a matter of life and survival with the island, and I hope you can persuade your superiors to take this matter seriously.” Nellie bowed in tears.

And when Chief Chef walked into the wall with his camera, Han Lu asked Nellie in English, "What did he say? ”

“Mr. Chief Cao said he would pass on our claims to his superiors, and if we could say that the militia would do it, we might be able to kill all those monsters. ”

Nellie didn't say to rescue Zhang Heng, because two hours had passed since they left the area, and Zhang Hengsheng's hopes for survival were too slim, but as long as the Self-Defense Forces would, killing those monsters would at least avenge Zhang Heng, and save others who lived on the island.

But Han Lu heard what she said, but he didn't have much fun on his face. Instead, he said, "Something's wrong. Did he just take your camera? ”

“Yes, Mr. Chief Chef said he would show the photos to his superiors so that we could prove what happened. ”

Logically, there was nothing wrong with that, but for some reason, there was always a sense of unease in Han Lu's mind. Especially when she saw the chief, Han Lu even began to wonder whether it was the right decision to come to the militia for help.

However, now that she is in an exotic country, she does not seem to have any other options.
