A tall and thin federal policeman who was on duty was feeling bored and suddenly noticed an Asian young man standing outside the fence with his neck stretched to look inside. He casually scolded, "Kid, you're not allowed to come near here. Leave now."
"Do you know who you're talking to, officer?" Edward, who was panting as he followed Zhang Lisheng's footsteps, finally ran to the metal fence. When he saw the policeman's rude attitude, he immediately protested loudly, "This gentleman is the director of the 357 Farmers' Self-Help Association in New York. The companies under his name provide jobs for thousands of Americans.
Remember your police number and wait to receive endless complaints. This is our pass number. Now, make way and let us pass. "
Upon seeing the domineering attitude of the LS chief legal officer, who was always well-dressed, the tall and thin federal policeman was stunned as his face turned grave.
At this time, a slightly older colleague who seemed to have a kind attitude took the phone that Edward handed over and used the scanner he carried to scan the pass code on the screen before returning the phone to Edward. However, he did not talk to him. Instead, he looked at Zhang Lisheng and said, "I'm sorry, sir. My colleague has encountered something sad.
The pet dog that he had raised for seven to eight years has died of illness, so he has no intention to … "
"Can we pass now?" The young man frowned and asked with a blank expression.
"Oh, oh, of course!" The old policeman turned his head and gave the tall and thin federal policeman a helpless look before making way. Zhang Lisheng then walked in front and brought Tina, Edward, and Charlie over the fence.
The fence that was more than 100 meters long actually had two lines on the left and right, enclosing the berth of a large liner. This berth was used by three giant tankers in turn, sending away a group of guests heading to the supernatural realm every one and a half hours.
When the four of them arrived at the berth, there were already 1,000 to 2,000 people waiting for the cruise to return with excitement written all over their faces. Some of these people were empty-handed, it was apparent that they were only planning to 'come here' for sightseeing. Some of them were carrying huge mountain bags, looking like they were going to the supernatural realm to set up camp and live there.
After waiting anxiously for a while, a whistling sound finally resonated from the distant blue sea.
"It's coming. It should be a ship …" The crowd murmured excitedly. "Please don't let it be a freighter. My legs are about to break."
"Who told you to come so early? We waited outside for seven or eight hours before the police let us in …
A passenger ship is a passenger ship. The ship is here, the ship is here! "
"The boat is here, our boat is here, yawu, we are here …"
Amidst the soft cheers of the thousands of people on the dock, in the distance, a giant cruise ship rode the wind and waves towards the shore.
A few minutes later, the ship slowly docked, and the ladder was lowered. More than a thousand exhausted but satisfied tourists disembarked the ship.
"It's very interesting, but don't touch the sand there. Just like on TV, the sand is very sharp …"
"Those aborigines look like clowns in a circus, but they're really strong. You can easily arm wrestle with them with a piece of candy. Their strength is unbelievable …"
"That's really a magical island, and the animals inside are also strange. Don't eat the snacks you brought there.
When we reach the gathering place, you can buy delicious jerky from those soldiers. Don't look at it carefully, just put it in your mouth. I guarantee you'll never forget the taste … "
After disembarking, the pioneers enthusiastically taught their experiences to the latecomers, as though they had lived in the supernatural realm for several years.
The latecomers, on the other hand, nodded repeatedly as they waited impatiently to board the cruise ship. Standing on the deck and leaning on the ship's side, they looked into the depths of the ocean, as though wishing that the mysterious Shrimp World No. 2's big island was already in front of them.
When the others were in high spirits and excited, Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, walked into the cabin of the cruise ship with a calm expression and asked for a room to rest from the female staff wearing a corporal uniform in the hall on the first floor of the cruise ship.
However, the answer that he received was, "I'm sorry, sir. The Shrimp World No. 2 is only two hours and 15 minutes away from us in a straight line, so all the rooms on the Pioneer have been closed.
Right now, we only provide hot dogs, hamburgers, Coke, and coffee. "
"Is this a cruise ship or a sampan? To think that it doesn't even have a resting room …" The young man muttered and complained. "Alright then, give me seven hot dogs …"
"There's a vending machine over there. I only exchange small change here."
Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment. Helplessly, he took out a 20-dollar bill and exchanged it for a handful of coins. "What do you want to eat? It's my treat!" He quickly walked to the vending machine and said.
Unfortunately, in the face of the chairman's generosity, the female secretary, the general manager, and the chief legal officer refused one after another. "Oh, thank you, Lisheng, but I plan to leave my stomach empty when I go to the Shrimp World No. 2 to taste the delicacies there."
"Boss, I've been eating hot dogs, hamburgers, and beer for half of my life. I plan to go to the supernatural realm for a change today."
"My thoughts are the same as Charlie's. Maybe you should change your mind too. It's only a two-hour voyage and it'll be over soon. Why do you need to fill your stomach with such ordinary food now?"
Zhang Lisheng, who had eaten countless strange animals when he was lost in the supernatural realm, curled his lips and sneered. However, he did not say anything.
Under the protection of two destroyers, the cruise ship sailed straight and fast in the ocean. At first, it relied on the nautical instrument connected to the satellite. Not long after entering the supernatural realm, it switched to using the ancient compass to determine the direction.
Time passed by quickly. When the young man, who had spent all of his change and had eaten a stomach full of fast food, stood at the bow of the ship and met the second liner that was also returning under the escort of the battleship. Not long after, he suddenly saw the outline of a large island appearing in the horizon.
"So this island is actually so close to New York.
If I don't take a detour, wouldn't it be less than an hour to fly the wyrmdragon … "He could not help but mutter.
"Lisheng, did you see it? Did you see it? It's true! There's actually a giant island that's even bigger than Long Island in the New York inland sea! This is amazing!"
"Didn't the Ministry of Land and Resources release the data? The area of this supernatural realm's island is at least 30,000 square kilometers. It's even bigger than all the islands in the entire state of Hawaii, let alone Long Island!"
"I know, Lisheng, but only when I see such a spectacle can I believe that all of this is true!" Maddie held a small telescope in front of her eyes and shouted excitedly along with the cheers of everyone on the ship.
In the midst of the cheers that resonated through the sky, the cruise ship and the escorting battleship accelerated their voyage. Not long after, they docked in a natural harbor.
Zhang Lisheng had seen this harbor and the small town surrounded by a solid concrete wall on the shore a few months ago. However, when he saw it again this time, he realized that the harbor had not changed. There were still only five battleships, Shrimp 201 to Shrimp 205, but the size of the small town on the shore near the battleships had expanded by more than ten times. It had simply become a small city.
Hundreds and thousands of indigenous midgets were wandering around the city freely. Other than bartering with the soldiers, they were also communicating with some young people who were obviously civilians.
These young people must be the group of people who came to the supernatural realm by several earlier flights today and chose to stay. In fact, at this time, they did not know what they should do or what they could do. They were still adapting to the unique cultural environment on the Shrimp World No. 2's island.
At this time, Charlie, who was still looking down from the ship and had not set foot on the island, had already figured out the use of the LS Group's five million USD development fund.
He pointed to an open space on the edge of the gathering place and said to Zhang Lisheng excitedly, "Boss, look! That open space is next to the only passage between the gathering place and the outside world. It doesn't look like it's a core area, but it actually has a lot of development potential.
If this' gathering place 'is a thriving city … "
"Charlie, if you like it, we'll buy that piece of land. It should be very cheap now." Zhang Lisheng's words stopped the LS Group's general manager's eloquent speech and queued up to step on the suspension ladder to get off the ship.
The moment they got off the ship, a tall and strong young man wearing a canvas cowboy suit, a cowboy hat, and riding boots in late summer ignored his girlfriend's dissuasion and grabbed a handful of sand. "Stop nagging, Christine. It'll be fine if you're careful. I won't clench my fist too hard … Ah, my hand!
Ah, my hand. Damn it, the sand here is as sharp as a knife!
That's right! I-Is this hard sand as valuable as a diamond? "He cut his hand until it was badly mutilated. Looking at the coarse sand covered in blood, he began to daydream.
Upon seeing this, Maddie, who was by Zhang Lisheng's side, kindly reminded him, "Even if these sand are diamonds, they're not valuable now. It's better for you to bandage your hand."
"Why are these sand worthless even if they're diamonds?" The tall and strong young man asked with his eyes wide open.
"Because there are too many of them." Zhang Lisheng, who was by the side, smiled and took out a whistle from his pocket to blow it. Very soon, a few indigenous midgets surrounded them curiously.
One of the aborigines, who was covered in white powder and had bright feathers on his head, even bared his teeth as he stretched out his hand, making a fierce gesture of asking for it.
The young man shook his head and bent down to pick up a handful of sand from the ground. Gently twisting it in his palm, he let the gravel fall into the palm of the fierce aborigine.
The aborigine became enraged when he was teased. He knew that he could not simply kill anyone in this huge tribe built by the outlanders who came from afar on a giant ship. However, a bloody conflict was tacitly allowed. For this reason, he clenched his fist and wanted to smash the nose of this outlander who looked tall but was actually far weaker than him based on his experience.
However, when he clenched his fist, a horrified expression suddenly appeared on his face as he quietly took a few steps back.
