On the vast sea surface of the Pearl River Estuary, dusk fell silently. Pieces of red clouds were embedded in the fiery red sky like paper. The sun sank quietly towards the mountains on the western horizon. A motorized wooden boat without a sail was gliding quietly on the water.
This was a very strange ship. The windows in the stern cabin and on the side were all tightly closed. There was no one on the deck. The stern cabin door was open, but it was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen.
In fact, in the pitch-black cabin, there was a large group of ragged, dishevelled mainlanders, who were preparing to sneak into Hong Kong to make a living.
This is a snake boat preparing to sneak into Hong Kong.
On the bottom deck of the snake ship, there were rows of wooden boxes. Under the dim yellow light from the ceiling, a guy with a fleshy face, a short flat head, snake eyes and an eagle nose was smiling and smoking while dismantling the wooden boxes.
With a "bang", the lid of the wooden box opened, revealing a pile of weeds. Snake-Eyes pushed the weeds aside, revealing a bunch of shiny AK-47 submachine guns.
Snake Eyes, the short man, smiled and patted the gun, saying to a bearded fisherman behind him, "Very good, I can see that this is top-quality stuff, but I want to try the gun. If the effect is satisfactory, you will have one million in cash."
"Hahaha," laughed Chen Zhong, the fisherman known as "Fanjiang Rat," "but who will be the target?"
"Hehehe." The short Snake Eyes stared at the ceiling with a fake smile, "I know there's a traitor up there, why not use him to test the gun."
"What, there's a traitor? Damn it, wait for me to kill him." Chen Zhong said viciously.
"Don't be so loud. That traitor is a very capable undercover agent. We must not let him find out that we have exposed him. It would be best if he dies without knowing what happened." The short man with snake eyes and a face full of flesh uttered a series of sarcastic sneers.
Chen Zhong nodded and said, "Brother, you really have a brain. Tell me who he is. I will lead him to the deck and you will perform the killing show."
"No, I'm not going to give him a chance." The short Snake Eyes sneered, "Give him a drink with sleeping pills in it, and when this fool passes out, hehehehe, put a lifebuoy on him and throw him into the sea. I want to use him to practice my marksmanship."
"Hahaha, this trick is brilliant. This idiot would never have thought in his dreams that he would become the target for Big Brother to practice shooting." Chen Zhong laughed.
"Yes." The short Snake Eyes smiled an almost imperceptible smile. He took out a carton of Vitasoy drinks from the wooden boxes and said with a smile, "Except for the three marked cans, all of these drinks have sleeping pills in them. You and your two brothers drink the three marked cans, and let that idiot drink up the rest. I'll tell you who the traitor is after all those idiots fall asleep."
"But the others are soldiers from all over the country. We need them to go to Hong Kong and conquer the world. Why do we have to anesthetize them?" Chen Zhong was puzzled. "Wouldn't it be enough to just anesthetize the traitors? We should have some loyalty."
"Idiot, first of all, it's hard to say if there's another traitor among this group of people. Second, if these stupid soldiers from the province and Hong Kong find out that we kill people at every turn, it will destroy our heroic image of sharing weal and woe with our brothers and being loyal. When they wake up, we can just say that the traitor fell into the sea by accident, right? In this way, these stupid soldiers from the province and Hong Kong will be more loyal than super eunuchs, and we can make a big splash in the world."
"Big brother is indeed the big brother." Chen Zhong flattered him nauseatingly, "He is truly a master of strategy and invincible. Even Zhu Ailiang would jump off a building and commit suicide after hearing this!"
"Of course, I have seen all kinds of ups and downs in the past few decades. In my eyes, Zhu Ailiang is just a clown. I, Hao Ping, am the world's number one invincible fortune teller."
"Big brother is extremely smart. Even the Godfather has to admit he is smart. How can those policemen ever be better than big brother?" Chen Zhong's flattery became more and more disgusting.
"Bullshit, the Godfather is nothing, he's just a fake character in the movie, I'm the real hero, remember, be careful, don't let the traitors find out, I don't want to lose you, my loyal and brave brother, take this box of drinks up now."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Chen Zhong nodded and said yes…
The night fell silently, the horizon disappeared in the dark night, the boundless sea surface turned into a huge black mirror, shining with a faint light, a bright moon rose slowly, and on the deck of the wooden boat that was speeding through the waves on the sea, Hao Ping was directing several provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers to put lifebuoys on three unconscious guys and throw them into the sea.
With three "splash", "splash" and "splash" sounds, three guys wearing the latest and most fashionable luminous lifebuoys were swaying on the turbulent sea.
These three idiots who were targeted were none other than the ship owner "Fanjiang Rat" Chen Zhong and his two fishermen who were going to sell weapons to Hao Ping. It turned out that only the three cans of marked drinks had sleeping pills in them. They fell into Hao Ping's trap. It turned out that Hao Ping, nicknamed "Viper", wanted to keep the arms for himself, so he decided to go all out and even sent the sellers to hell. In this way, he could swallow all the dozens of boxes of weapons at the bottom of the ship without spending a penny.
Hao Ping laughed sinisterly three times, pulled out an AK-47 from a box of weapons on the deck, and said to the soldiers who helped him throw the men into the sea, "Brothers, these three are traitors, let's shoot them all together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Ping immediately raised his submachine gun and fired wildly at the flashing lifebuoy that was twenty meters away. "Bang, bang, bang," "Bang, bang, bang." The unconscious fisherman let out a scream, and then the lifebuoy exploded with a "bang" and flew into the waves.
The other five people also raised their guns and fired. "Bang, bang, bang" five fierce tongues of fire spit out from the tips of five submachine guns. "Ah" another fisherman was shot and his lifebuoy exploded.
Unexpectedly, the lifebuoy with "River Rat" Chen Zhong on it was not hit, but floated fifty meters away and drifted farther and farther.
"Damn it." Hao Ping shouted that something was wrong. He thought that if this guy escaped, there would be endless trouble, so he frantically shot at him dozens of times, but he missed all of them. Not only that, as the waves kept swaying left and right, Chen Zhong, who was floating up and down in the lifebuoy, was drifting farther and farther away. Hao Ping was furious. He couldn't let this guy live any longer. Otherwise, if he survived by chance, not only would his reputation be ruined, but he would also offend the Hong Kong fishing gang.
He quickly pulled out a giant rocket launcher from the bottom of the box and shouted, "I damn well don't believe that even a rocket can't kill a snitch like you."
With a "chi" sound, a rocket spewing blue flames drew a beautiful arc in the air and slid across the sea, hitting Chen Zhong accurately. "Boom" Chen Zhong was blown into a shit pancake and flew into the sky with a huge column of water.
"Hahaha, the human infrared heat-seeking rocket is indeed worthy of its reputation." Hao Ping laughed triumphantly. He turned to the group of stupid illegal immigrants and said, "Brothers, we have dealt with the traitors. Tomorrow you can stage a series of armed robberies in Hong Kong. I guarantee that after we have done this to the world, we will become multi-millionaires."
"Brother, you are wise." Several soldiers from the provincial and Hong Kong flags shouted.
At this time, Hao Ping had another more sinister plot in his mind. He planned to use this group of idiots to rob eight banks in the city center at the same time. He also wanted to report the matter to the police in advance. When a large number of police were busy dealing with these provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers, he could make a feint to the east and take the opportunity to rob a money-for-hire truck heading to HSBC Bank in the suburbs. Not only could he successfully rob, but he could also send these idiots to jail with the help of the police, thus saving a sum of money and killing two birds with one stone. It would be difficult for him not to become rich by then!
"Brothers," Hao Ping shouted as he rushed to the stern cabin. He climbed into the second-floor cockpit and swung the rudder to the northeast, shouting loudly, "Gold is waiting for us. Head for Hong Kong."
The bow of the wooden boat splashed large pieces of white waves, and it sped towards Hong Kong under the starry night sky.
"Long live Brother Hao." Disco music sounded on the deck. The vagrants who had just finished killing people swung their hips to the music and danced to the rock and roll. They raised their submachine guns and shouted wildly, celebrating their plan to make a big splash in Hong Kong…
Hao Ping held the rudder with a cigarette in his mouth and waved to the crazy crowd below. "Brothers, we will seize Hong Kong without negotiation. We will become rich soon."
"We're going to seize Hong Kong without negotiation, we're going to seize Hong Kong without negotiation, we're going to seize Hong Kong without negotiation…" The group of migrant workers below followed Hao Ping and shouted wildly…
Amid the "ticking" sound of the motor, the wooden boat had been sailing in the dark for nearly five hours, but the strange thing was that in front of the boat, there was still an endless sea. A round of moonlight hung high in the sky, sprinkling on the empty deck. Behind the deck, the cabin was pitch black, and snoring sounds were heard one after another. Most of the provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers had fallen into a deep sleep.
In the cockpit on the second floor, Hao Ping was steering the rudder. At this time, his second brother Hao Jun pushed open the cabin door and walked in.
"Hello, have you contacted the pick-up team in Hong Kong?" Hao Ping asked in a rough voice.
"Strange, my mobile phone can't get any signal. I just turned on the radio, but I couldn't hear anything. Brother, did you get the wrong direction? We should have reached Hong Kong in an hour, and we've been walking for more than five hours, but now there's not even a shadow of Hong Kong on the horizon."
"Bullshit, I've been driving a ship for decades and have been to Hong Kong countless times. Do you think I would get the wrong direction?" Hao Ping cursed angrily.
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Hao Jun stammered, "I just think it seems a little abnormal."
"What's abnormal?" Hao Ping laughed. "You thought someone was following us."
"Did you hear it?" Hao Jun suddenly showed a very frightened expression, and he whispered to Hao Ping, "I heard some strange noises from the bottom of the boat."
"What's so strange about that? You are really a coward. That's just the sound of the boat rubbing against the water. Maybe it's just a school of fish swimming under the boat." Hao Ping laughed disdainfully.
"I've been a fisherman for more than ten years. I can distinguish the sounds of various fish schools, but I've never heard this kind of sound before," Hao Jun stared at Hao Ping seriously. "In addition, we have been sailing towards Hong Kong for more than five hours, but we still can't get there. Don't you think something is wrong? And my mobile phone can't make calls anymore, and even the radio can't receive any signals. This doesn't make sense. Maybe there are some unclean things down there."
"You've taken the wrong medicine, haven't you? You think there's a ghost under the boat?" Hao Ping laughed.
"Haven't you heard of the legend of water ghosts? Those who drown in the water will become water ghosts. They are trapped in the water, suffering from all kinds of pain and torture. During the day, it is like being in boiling water, and at night it is like being in ice water. When it rains, it is like being pierced by thousands of arrows. Therefore, they must find a substitute. Only by finding a substitute can they escape from the sea of suffering." Hao Jun said seriously, "Maybe we have encountered a water ghost."
"Are you sick? Water ghosts will only drag people into the water. This is a boat, idiot." Hao Ping disagreed.
"A single water ghost will drag people into the water, but a group of water ghosts is different. They will sink the boat. Haven't you heard of ghosts pushing boats?" Hao Jun suddenly changed his voice and said, "I heard that many accidents of boats hitting reefs and sinking were caused by ghosts pushing boats. Maybe we encountered a group of water ghosts. They are pushing our boat to the uninhabited depths of the South China Sea. They want to kill us all. Our boat is heading towards the reef with the heaviest yin energy. This is why I can't receive any signals. Maybe we have reached the center of the South China Sea. God knows what else is waiting for us, but I have heard that there are worse things."
"Maybe it's just the influence of the water flow. There's no such thing as a water ghost." Hao Ping still didn't believe it.
"The water is very strange, different from usual. I just scooped up a bucket of water, and you won't believe it, it's all black, just like ink. It's so scary. What's even stranger is that there's a very strange fish in it, a bone fish that only has bones. It swims around and jumps out of the water from time to time. It's so scary!"
"What!" Hao Ping also began to feel a little chilly. "Bones also have life."
"It's true. I'll take you down to have a look." Hao Jun vowed.
When they went down to the deck, Hao Jun found that the bucket of water had turned transparent again and the fish was gone. What the hell had happened?
"I swear, it wasn't like that just now." Hao Jun began to panic.
"Okay, I don't want to waste time playing games anymore. You'd better be prepared before you play this kind of joke on me next time. Hahaha." Hao Ping laughed.
At this moment, suddenly, with a whoosh, a smoking fan-shaped spaceship whizzed overhead, swept past the sky like death , and then crashed into the sea in front. With a "bang", a huge column of water exploded high, followed by another earth-shaking roar. On the other side of the sea, white waves rolled. In the piercing whistling sound, a huge metal hull with shining lights broke through the waves with a water curtain, and two missiles were fired at the two X-wing fighters flying in the night sky.
With two loud bangs, two fighter planes emerged from the clouds and exploded in mid-air, creating two huge fireballs in the air…
Damn it, what the hell is going on? At this moment, a report with electronic music came on Hao Jun’s radio, “The great Demon Fish Nation’s Hades Warriors have once again severely damaged the King of Hell’s invincible fleet in the Underworld Sea. Eight thousand of the King of Hell’s warships have been destroyed. In addition, our allies, the Bull-Head Army, also defeated the Horse-Faced Army. The better news is that Marshal Wuchang has surrendered to us. Fellow subjects of the Demon Fish Nation, in the near future, the King of Hell’s underworld will have a new master. He is me, Marshal Demon Fish, hahahaha…”
"Damn it, we have encountered the worst situation. We have reached the underworld sea, and those water ghosts have dragged us into the underworld." Hao Jun shouted, "This is the broadcast from the underworld."
At the same time, the group of provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers who were awakened by the sound of artillery also came out. "What on earth happened?" they shouted one by one.
Oh my God! Hao Ping couldn't believe his eyes. He found that on the distant horizon, there were flashes of fire. Oh my God, large groups of warships of various shapes were fighting each other. Countless flames were crisscrossing, clusters of fireballs were exploding, and even in the sky there were large groups of aircraft lights exchanging fire. The night sky in the distance was red.
"Oh my God, there is a war in the underworld. We have been dragged into the underworld by those water ghosts. Look, there are two moons over there." Hao Jun pointed to the horizon behind the boat and saw two green moons rising from the horizon.
"What's going on? How did we get here?" Hao Ping grabbed Hao Jun by the collar and screamed hysterically.
"This is the territory of the Demon Fish Marshal who controls the souls of all the fish in the water. This is the Hades of the water world. I've heard that in the underworld, the King of Hell is just one of the great kings. There are many other great kings in the underworld, such as the Bull-Headed King, the Horse-Faced King, the Impermanence King, the Yellow Peak King, the Five-Way Demon King, etc. Sometimes they fight on their own, and sometimes they cooperate with the King of Hell. They are all fighting for the souls of the dead to enhance their own strength. It seems that there is a great king who wants to sit on the throne of the King of Hell. This time we are in trouble . Maybe the water ghosts are also controlled by the Demon Fish King. It dragged us here to absorb our yang energy. We are human beings. Maybe they want to use us to defeat the King of Hell."
As they were talking, suddenly, a huge whirlpool rolled up on the surrounding water surface, and the whole ship began to spin wildly. The guys who climbed onto the deck were staggering and rolling on the deck. Some even rolled over the side of the ship and fell into the sea. Following screams, dozens of scaly claws stretched out from the sea, and those who fell into the sea were torn into dozens of pieces…
"Bang, bang, bang!" Hao Ping raised his submachine gun and fired wildly at the fish-headed people who emerged from the water. Unexpectedly, the fish-headed people were not only fine, but also pulled the bullets out of their heads and then chewed them in big mouthfuls…
A thick fog quickly covered the sea surface. In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming fog submerged the entire wooden boat. The frightened soldiers of the Provincial and Hong Kong flag raised their submachine guns and fired randomly. With a "bang", two cold light spots broke through the waves in the thick fog. "Ah" Hao Ping and his men screamed and raised their guns to fire wildly at the two huge light spots, but the two light spots were fine. The light spots were getting closer and closer, but when the light spots broke through the fog and rushed to the front of the boat, Hao Ping and his men were all stunned.
Oh my God, it turned out to be a huge fish head as tall as a ten-story building. The two light spots were its big green eyes. It turned out to be the Demon Fish King. It wanted to eat living people to increase its magic power.
Before Hao Ping and his crew could react, the huge fish opened its mouth and swallowed them and their boat in one gulp.
"Ah!" With screams, the huge sharp teeth bit the boat in half, and a stream of yellow acid surged over like a wave. "Ah!" With screams, Hao Ping and his gang were corroded into bloody meat paste and rolled into the huge black esophagus…
