"Tang." After seeing Tang Huai, Hank put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up to greet him.Tang Huai nodded, the two checked what they needed, and then drove towards the city hall together.

With the breeze blowing, the red Ford drove past the majestic Constitution Square. After a while, the two arrived at the Mexico City Hall.

Tang Huai and Hanke got off the bus. There were many tourists with cameras in their hands near the city hall. Tang Huai also saw several Asian faces.Hank walked to the security office and communicated in Spanish.Immediately afterwards, Hanke gestured to Tang Huai.Tang Huai took out his visa and passport.After the inspection was correct, the two walked towards the office hall under the leadership of the guard.

A middle-aged man in his 50s sat in the office lobby.The man was wearing a dark uniform.After listening to Hank's explanation of his intentions, he handled the handover of the island very efficiently.

Reviewing the will, signing and stamping, photocopying the documents... It only took an hour for the whole process to be completed.

After putting away the documents, Tang Huai looked at the small brown book the size of a palm in his hand.The previous temporary visa has been changed to a permanent visa.This is Tang Huai's inheritance benefit.

"Congratulations, you can now form a country." After walking out of the city hall, Hanke looked at Tang Huai and blinked.

Tang Huai smiled.Now that Sola Island is his own, strictly speaking, he can indeed establish a country.It's just that the establishment of a country requires land, an army, a government constitution, and declaring independence to the world.Tang Huai only satisfied the first step, and the establishment of a new type of country could easily lead to legal conflicts and military actions.

Tang Huai is just a fruit shop owner, and has no ambition to establish a country at all.He knew Hank was kidding himself.

After joking with Hank, the two set off in the direction of Guerrero State.

Three hours later, the two came to a small port named Feder.

The entire port is rather messy, with many shirtless workers moving goods.There is a lot of fishy smell coming from the containers in the port, where seafood is mainly transported.

Following the humid sea breeze, the two of them came to a fishing boat in a whirl.

A muscular man in a gray vest stood on the fishing boat and directed loudly.At his feet are wet fishing nets and a few sardines bouncing back and forth.

Hank walked over very familiarly.The two chatted in Spanish.The muscular uncle looked at Tang Huai probingly while talking.

Tang Huai was very helpless, the feeling of being unable to understand the language...it was really aggrieved.

"Don, this is Captain Renault. He has ordered in advance and can go to sea now." After a while, Hank came over and said.

"This fishing boat... is it okay?" Tang Huai asked after thinking about it.

The fishing boat in front of me is about ten meters long, divided into upper, middle and lower floors.The entire fishing boat was yellowed and painted. It looked at least 20 years old. There were many fish scales and fishing nets on the board.

Tang Huai seriously doubted whether this fishing boat could survive five days in the Pacific Ocean... You know, it is about [-] nautical miles from Mexico to Sola Island, which is equivalent to the distance from Mohe to Chongshi.

"Captain Reynolds has 30 years of sailing experience. This fishing boat has been with him to and from Hawaii. Captain Reynolds needs a lot of money, otherwise he would not take this order...Don, Sola Island is not within the scope of the established route , very few large ships pass by." Hank explained.

There are many ships in Guerrero, but these ships have fixed routes.Tang Huai could only find these small private fishing boats if he wanted to go to Sola Island.

"Okay." Tang Huai said helplessly after thinking about it.At this point, he can only take one step at a time.Tang Huai spent a total of 20 yuan on this trip to Mexico. If he backed down halfway, his preparations for the past few days would be in vain.

Now he could only hope for Captain Renault's sailing experience.

Everyone bought some bread, compressed biscuits, mineral water and the like near the port.After everything was prepared, at [-] o'clock Mexico time, the White Tempest officially set sail.

The Tempest is the name of a fishing boat, implying that it is not afraid of the storm and conquers the sea.In addition to Captain Renault, the entire fishing boat also has a helmsman, three sailors, and a maintenance worker.Renault is the captain, chief cook, chief engineer and many other positions.

The Tempest is divided into three tiers.The lower level is the rest area, the middle cockpit, the living room kitchen, the deck and so on.The upper level is the land watchtower and the bridge.

The salty sea breeze blew out, and Tang Huai stood on the deck, seeing the endless blue.This was Tang Huai's first time seeing the sea.

"Would you like a slice?" Hank walked over leisurely holding a can of beer.

"Thank you, no need." Hank lay on the fence and handed Tang Huai a white pill.Tang Huai took a look and declined with a smile.

This is seasickness medicine, a must for sailing.

Tang Huai didn't expect that he had a good physique, and after such a lap, he didn't get airsick or seasick.

"Magellan is a great navigator. My dream is to be like him and lead my fleet across the Atlantic Ocean." Hank shrugged and said with some emotion after pulling away the beer.

Tang Huai nodded.Through these two days of getting along, he knew that Hank was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, graduated from the University of Washington, and his family had been fishermen for generations.After college, Hank quit his high-paying job in New York and went home...fishing.

Hanke's philosophy of life, let alone China, is hard to be recognized even in Mexico.For the fishing career, Hank had a lot of fights with his family, but he was fearless.

Hank's family conditions are ordinary, and it is not easy to form a fleet.So, Hank is now making money as a translator while fishing.

Hank loves the sea.

After chatting for a while, the two sides went back to the rest cabin to rest.In the next three days, everyone spent time on the Tempest.Tang Huai used to look at the sea from the deck, but he got a little bored after that.

Reading magazines in bed is more interesting than the ocean.If it wasn't for the lack of signal on the mobile phone, Tang Huai would still like to send some Moments or something...

……

Tang Huai spent his adventurous first voyage in this neither salty nor bland.

"Didi, didi..." In the early morning of the fourth day, Tang Huai was awakened by a sudden siren. Besides, Tang Huai felt the fishing boat shaking violently.

"What's going on?" Tang Huai put on a coat and ran to the deck in a panic.There is a large temperature difference between day and night on the sea surface, and the Pacific Ocean at three or four in the morning is a bit cold.

There was chaos on the deck.Tang Huai's pupils shrank slightly after seeing the scene on the sea level.I saw layer after layer of waves hitting the distant sea level.There are countless sea fish jumping out of the water around the hull.

With the howling wind, Tang Huai always felt that the wind and sea breeze in the air were more salty.

"It might be a tsunami, damn it, there was no warning." Hank cursed after seeing the scene in front of him with disheveled hair.

The Tempest had just sailed past Clipperton Island now.There are still more than 500 nautical miles away from the coordinates of Sola Island.If there are no problems, we should be able to arrive tomorrow evening.Unexpectedly, at this juncture, we encountered a tsunami!

There are eight people on board the Tempest.During this panic, everyone gathered in the cockpit.

In the cockpit, Captain Renault manipulated the rudder with a serious face.Detectors, weather faxes, navigation and other modern precision instruments are constantly alarming.Everyone approached, and Renault was sternly directing something in Spanish.

Although Tang Huai couldn't understand what everyone was saying, it was obvious that the current situation was not optimistic.Tang Huai looked around, the compass on the cockpit was turning rapidly.

This is a bad sign.

"Don, it's indeed a tsunami. A tsunami without warning..." Two minutes later, Hank turned his head and said seriously.Now that high technology is developed, marine disasters such as tsunamis, disaster waves, and storm surges can be detected in advance.

Although the Storm is a small fishing boat, it has all the necessary detection equipment.This time, let alone early warning, there were no signs at all.

After Captain Renault explained a few more words to the crew, Hank and the crew ran out together.The automatic raising and lowering device of the sail was broken, and they needed to shake the sail down manually.

Renault took a pipe in his mouth and manipulated the console seriously again.

Tang Huai looked around, in front of this sudden disaster, he seemed to be an idler.

The sea level was constantly fluctuating, and the entire ship tilted thirty degrees.The sail seemed to be stuck, and everyone seemed to be struggling.Tang Huai gritted his teeth and ran towards the sail.

If the sails didn't come down, all of them would have to fall into the sea.

A lot of water had been poured into the deck on the second floor, Tang Huai's trousers were completely wet, and when a wave hit, Tang Huai's body was half wet.During this staggering journey, Tang Huai finally came to the sail.

Tang Huai stood next to a crew member, and imitated the pulling rope on the mast.Tang Huai's hands were worn out, but he couldn't care less.A wave hit, and the ship tilted even more.Everyone could only grit their teeth and continue, and in this concerted effort, the sail finally came down.

"Don, we can get the life jacket first... Don!" The ship's hull was under control, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.Hank turned around and was about to say something, but then, his tone suddenly became urgent.

Tang Huai didn't know, so he followed Hank's gaze and looked back conditionally.After some tossing just now, Tang Huai stood on the edge of the ship.The fence was a little loose. At this time, a wave hit without warning. Tang Huai was swept in by the huge wave.

Hanke wanted to hold Tang Huai, but he couldn't.

Tang Huai: ...Sure enough, there is no such thing as a good thing in the sky.

This was Tang Huai's last thought before losing consciousness.

……

[Ding, the system is being updated.The physique is normal, the identity is normal, the degree of integration is normal...]

[35%, 62%, 86%... The update is complete. 】

Tang Huai was awakened by a cold mechanical sound.Tang Huai's consciousness was a little fuzzy, and there was an endless wet feeling from his body. Tang Huai wanted to raise his hand, but he didn't have the strength.

After an unknown period of time, consciousness returned.Tang Huai opened his eyes, and a glare of sunlight hit his face.Tang Huai squinted his eyes. At this time, the waves were gone, the storm was gone, and the boats were gone.

Tang Huai turned his head to the side, and the black crab that had been slapping him was meeting his eyes.

Tang Huai: ...

Tang Huai sat up with difficulty. He had a hunch that if he didn't get up, the crab's claws would come into close contact with him.

Tang Huai sat up and looked around.At this time, he was on the shore of a stretching coast.In front of you is the smooth sea level as a mirror.Behind is a rugged valley full of dark style.As far as the eye can see, the environment behind him is similar to the Loess Plateau in China.Except for the broken valley with ravines and ravines, there is no trace of greenery.

This is what Tang Huai saw. As for the valley behind... Tang Huai doesn't know.

The soil in the valley is dark brown, cut from the coastline, the dark style of the valley and the blue sea in front of it form a very impactful contrast.
