Chapter 174 Island(1/2)

Author: September Sauce

The huge wave caused by J-20B has not completely subsided. Soon after, a piece of news appeared like a giant hand, completely overturning the entire public opinion.

"The U.S. F-35 project has entered a critical period, and another member of the STOVL fighter family may be added."

There is no doubt that this news was released by Li Xiang's department.

But it has complete details and abundant evidence, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is true.

As a result, those who originally clamored that "J-20B" was useless completely lost their voices.

My beautiful father slapped me in the face, what else can I do?

I said it was useless before, but it turned out to be just deception.

It's a pity that 611 was not fooled into entering, but the friendly forces were fooled into it.

Now that the situation has become clear, even the banana people feel a sense of anger.

Even if you are a dog, you are not this serious!

At least when you bite someone, you have to tell me the real target, right?

You can't point to a tail and say it's a mouse, but when I bite it I realize it's actually a lion.

Under such circumstances, public opinion rarely appeared peaceful and clean that should not appear in this era.

All those so-called public intellectuals have disappeared and seem to be planning to keep their tail between their legs until this storm is over.

But just as public opinion was turbulent, a different storm had arisen in another place.

An island in the sea.

Wu Weirong is an ordinary island defender. His station is on a small island in the sea.

It's quite far away from the really sensitive area, so it's basically peaceful.

His daily life is to patrol several surrounding islands with his comrades, and then return to the island where the largest station is located to make fire, cook, rest and stand guard.

Life is boring, but what's even more unbearable is the harsh conditions.

Although it is said to be an island, in fact, it is just a reef that can barely break out of the water.

Once the tide rises, the water can even reach a person's waist.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is impossible to establish a real "base". All they can do is lay a foundation on the reef and build the proposed shack.

Just like the iron house he is in now.

After entering high-temperature weather at sea, the iron sheet will absorb a large amount of heat, and then conduct the heat to the room through thermal conduction, which causes the temperature in the iron sheet house to continue to rise, even exceeding 60 degrees in some cases.

Wu Weirong often mentally resists entering the shed, because once he enters, it is like entering an extremely hot oven. If he stays here for a long time, he may even risk suffocation.

When he first arrived, he fainted in the shack several times due to heat stroke. Fortunately, other comrades were nearby, so he did not cause what he considered to be a somewhat ridiculous "non-combat attrition."

This is the case when the temperature is high, but when a typhoon comes, everything is different.

He still remembers the first time he faced a typhoon.

At that time, there was only blackness between the sky and the earth. Standing on the sea, you could not see the so-called spectacular scene of black clouds pressing over the city and rough waves.

What comes oncoming is a hurricane so violent that one can't even open one's eyes, and rain that keeps hitting the face like bullets.

The roof of the iron house was directly ripped off. They only held on to the support pillars and persisted in the strong wind for several hours before finally waiting for the storm to pass.

Everyone was exhausted, but they had to get up and strengthen the shack immediately.

Otherwise, when the next wave of hurricane comes, they will all be swept to the bottom of the sea.

It was on days like this that Wu Rongwei had the idea of ​​leaving several times.

After all, he is not a saint, he also has his own family and his own ideals.

But in the end, he stayed.

The reason is simple. He doesn't know if his new comrades will be able to persist if he leaves.

There can't be no people here.

The monkeys on the opposite side were watching eagerly. If I really left, their old sand dredgers would swarm up and immediately take this place as their own.

At that time, once lost, it will be difficult to get it back.

Thinking of this, Wu Rongwei sighed, climbed down from the stilt house and stepped onto the boat, preparing to start his inspection for the day.

The comrade with him is named Li Yonglai, who is also a veteran. Compared with him, Li Yonglai has a much more irritable character, and of course, is also much more optimistic.

Seeing Wu Rongwei boarding the boat, Li Yonglai said cheerfully:

"Oh, you moved very quickly today. Have you rested enough?"

Wu Rongwei rolled his eyes and replied:

"I'd rather take a rest. Can I still stay in that room? I'll be cooked if I stay in there any longer."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and set sail quickly."

"Yesterday, I saw those Vietnamese monkeys coming over again. They seemed to be building an island. I hurriedly drove them away."

"They are like flies every day. It would be great if someone could swat them to death."

Li Yonglai put the gun on his back and said while pulling the engine:

"Don't be so irritable every day. We can't have a big conflict now. It's not a question of whether we can fight or not. The main thing is that if we start a fight, it won't end well."

"The country put us here to do things, not to cause trouble."

"I know, I know."

Wu Rongwei interrupted Li Yonglai's chatter a little impatiently, and then said angrily:

"You said I was irritable? The last time I bumped into them over there, you almost shot me."

"At least I'll hit them with rocks. I'll drive them over later and pick up a few rocks underwater. We don't have much ammunition."

Without the ability to use thermal weapons, the means of attack on the sea were extremely limited, and they did not have high-pressure water cannons, so they had no choice but to touch rocks underwater.

Most of the time, those stones were brought here by the other party.

They kept trying to reclaim the sea and build islands, bringing in boatloads of sand and stones, which became Wu Rongwei's weapon to expel them.

To a certain extent, it has formed a virtuous cycle.

"Take it easy and don't hurt yourself. The stone didn't hit your head last time. If I hadn't pushed it away for you, you would have received at least a second-class meritorious service."

"Oh, second-class merit, I will at least achieve first-class merit."

"What the hell are you talking about? Hurry up and spit it out!"

Li Yonglai glared at Wu Rongwei, who sighed helplessly and said:

"You, how old are you, and you are still so superstitious?"

Li Yonglai stopped paying attention to him. The boat moved forward and soon reached the first inspection point.

It was far away from the area where the other party built the island, so it was always calm. Li Yonglai got off the boat and stood on the reef to check the mark, then got back on the boat and continued moving forward.

Next, everything is normal at the second and third patrol points.

It wasn't until they reached the fourth island that an accident happened.

A sand dredger was parked far away, while two monkeys dressed as fishermen were laboriously beating the flag on the island.

Wu Rongwei's eyes widened with anger. He quickly asked Li Yonglai to speed up, and then shouted at the two people:

"Get away! Get away!"

The people on the other side heard his shouting, but had no intention of stopping.

Their hands are faster, and the metal flagpole has already been knocked a little crooked by them. If you give them a few more minutes, they might really knock it down!

"Damn it, these monkeys are getting bolder and bolder. Lao Li, get closer, damn, I have to kill them!"

At this time, Li Yonglai, who had just been trying to persuade Wu Rongwei not to be impulsive, had already lost his temper. He suddenly moved the joystick, and the boat turned an astonishing angle, skillfully avoiding the reef on the water, and headed towards the small boat.

The islands and reefs sailed away.

Wu Rongwei bent down, picked up the stone he had prepared earlier from the cabin, raised it on his shoulder, and continued to shout to the other side.

"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

However, the two people on the opposite side always turned a deaf ear until the boat was about to approach. As the man on the island slammed down, the entire metal flagpole was actually broken by them and fell into the sea!

The red flag was swallowed by the blue sea water. Li Yonglai's eyes were about to burst. He yelled "fuck", threw away the joystick and jumped into the water.

At this time, the boat could no longer approach quickly. Wu Rongwei stood firm and threw stones to the opposite side with all his strength.

But on the constantly rocking boat, his strength and accuracy were extremely limited, and the stone fell directly into the sea without even getting close to them.

"grass!"

Wu Rongwei followed and cursed.

He took a look at the cabin and saw that there were only four or five stones left in it. Even if they were thrown out, they probably wouldn't be able to hit anyone.
To be continued...
