The helicopter landed, and Hans and Big Quinn stood on a reef in the distance, staring blankly at the scene.
Li Du opened the door of the helicopter, jumped out, and waved like the leader. "Guys, how have you been?"
Hans came over in shock. He walked around the helicopter twice and then asked, "Did you rent this?"
Li Du said, "I bought it."
"A second-hand helicopter?" Hans asked again.
The Mi-8 was easily recognizable. After all, it had been in the warehouse for several years. Even if Big Ivan had cleaned and maintained it, the second-hand smell could not be hidden.
Li Du said, "Yes, I bought a second-hand helicopter. It cost more than 200,000 dollars."
Hearing this, Hans' eyes widened. "What? More than 200,000 dollars? You must be kidding me. Who would sell a helicopter at such a price?! "
Li Du grinned. "Who told you I bought it at the original price? We got it from our old trade. "
Hans continued to be shocked. "Going to a nightclub to be a prostitute? Which rich lady would pay with a helicopter? "
Li Du was even more shocked. "D * mn, what did you do in Los Angeles?"
"I'm teasing you, haha." Hans laughed.
Li Du stared at him suspiciously. He didn't believe this guy. Had he really been a prostitute before?
Hans ignored him, climbed into the helicopter, and turned around. He said excitedly, "Hurry, get your pilot to take it off. I want to see Seagull Island from the air."
Big Ivan shook his head and said, "The beach is too soft. If it's not necessary, try not to take off and land frequently. It's best to take off and land more than 12 hours apart."
Li Du pulled Hans down and pointed to the ocean. "Don't make a fuss. Quick, take me there. Where are the gems?"
Hans also shook his head and said, "Are you crazy? Look at the time. Do you want to freeze your blood vessels in the water? Let's go tomorrow at noon. "
Li Du thought he was right. After all, it was already late autumn. He felt cold standing on the island in the wind, not to mention going into the water.
There was now a small building on the island that Hans and Big Quinn had built out of dried wood. It looked a little like the stilt houses in southern China. The bottom was supported by thick wooden supports, and the top was where people lived.
The ground floor of the small building was empty, and it was surrounded by plastic and wooden boards. From the outside, it looked more like a stilt house. Li Du had once seen an introduction by CCTV. In some mountainous areas in the south, stilt houses were often used for people living upstairs and pigs were kept downstairs.
Of course, this small building couldn't really be used to raise pigs. It was sprinkled with lime, snake repellent powder, insect repellent, and other drugs to keep it dry and drive away snakes and insects.
Now that there were a lot of people who had come here, it would be difficult to move in.
Hans said that it was not a problem. They could squeeze on the yacht. The rooms on the yacht were air-conditioned. If they turned on the air-conditioning at night, they would burn more diesel.
Big Quinn was a man who could not stay idle. When Hans was bored, he would learn underwater photography. When he had nothing to do, Big Quinn would take care of the small building. In front of the building, he had paved a platform with gravel and built a small hut with tents and wood.
This was their kitchen and dining room. It was a pity that the hut was not warm enough. Otherwise, people could live in it.
It was still afternoon. Li Du said, "We have nothing to do, so let's prepare dinner. By the way, where's Christie? Why don't I see her? "
Hans looked at the ocean and said, "She's underwater. She won't stop until 5: 30."
Li Du was very surprised and said, "5: 30? Isn't that a little too late? Won't it be cold? "
Hans said earnestly, "There's no other way, young man. If you want to make money, you have to suffer. How can you earn money by lying down and enjoying it?"
Sophie said with a smile, "When you were a gigolo in Los Angeles, didn't you earn money by lying down and enjoying it?"
Hans looked at Sophie in disbelief until Sophie was puzzled. She touched her face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
"Of course," Hans cried exaggeratedly. "Little Sophie, when did you become such a hooligan? God is above you. He's watching you. How can you say that? "
Sophie realized that she had been fooled by him and said, "God is not above me. He is in my heart. I've got his permission to say these things."
The group went out to sea while bickering. There was a refrigerator in the yacht, which contained all kinds of seafood, lobsters, crabs, fish, and mussels, which they usually caught.
This was the advantage of living by the sea. It was convenient to eat seafood, which was rich and pure wild, clean and delicious.
However, to live here, one had to have money because they had to rely on the yacht every time they went out. The yacht turned around and cost thousands of Australian dollars.
The sea lady surfaced from time to time. When she saw Li Du and the others, she did not stop working. She just smiled and nodded, put down two black gold abalones, and was about to jump into the water again.
Sophie waved and said, "Christie, rest first. You don't have to be so tired."
The sea lady smiled and looked back. "No, I'm not tired. Usually, during the fishing season, I need to work until 10 or 11 o 'clock in the evening."
"Brooks is a jerk," Hans said angrily.
Li Du looked at the two big black gold abalones and said in admiration, "Christie is amazing. She can bring two black gold abalones in one dive."
Hans said, "You haven't seen her limit. Once, she took four black gold abalones at once. I was shocked!"
Big Ivan, who was behind them, stared and said, "So the boss has a black gold abalone business?"
Brother Wolf asked, "Have you eaten it before?"
Big Ivan shook his head and said, "I've only seen it but not eaten it. In Crimea, Australian black gold abalone and black sea sturgeon caviar are top-notch ingredients."
Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can eat as much as you want tonight. The boss will take care of you."
He liked talented people. Big Ivan was able to fly a helicopter that had been grounded for four or five years by himself. He was definitely a talent.
Li Du and Big Quinn prepared dinner. They had a lot of ingredients, including beef, mutton, and all kinds of vegetables.
Big Quinn started to stew beef soup. To spend the night in a cold place like the island, it was necessary to drink scalding beef soup, which had to be sprinkled with red chili powder.
In addition to stewing soup, he also made grilled clams, scallops, oysters, mussels, mussels, and so on.
All kinds of clams and seafood were placed on the grill, and only a little rosemary was sprinkled on them. They were warm, smooth, and tasty.
There were many sapphire grapes on the island. Big Quinn and Hans picked some and made their own wine.
This wine was like fruit juice, not the traditional red wine. It was sweet and refreshing, with the unique fragrance of wild plants and a faint alcoholic smell. It was a very good drink.
