On the ocean, the wind and waves are raging, and a thousand-ton ship is no different from a small sampan. It is turned upside down by the strong wind and waves, as if it will capsize at any time.

In this big wave, several trawlers are still working non-stop. The huge waves hit the hull of the boat and made a loud noise, and the people on board could be knocked into the sea if they were not careful.

"Hold on, hold on, let's catch the last net and leave." In the cockpit of the fishing boat, the bearded captain himself steered the steering wheel. Under his command, the huge trawl net is slowly being tightened, and a huge number of fish can be seen in the net.

The clattering fish finally fell on the deck of the fishing boat. Several sailors in waterproof suits and thermal underwear immediately stepped forward and shoveled all the harvest into the cargo hold of the fishing boat with a large shovel. In the end, only a small amount of dried shrimps remained on the deck and jumped around.

With a full harvest, the captain of the leading fishing boat ordered to return, and all the workers happily hid in the cabin. An electric oven ensured that they would not be frozen to death by the icy sea water.

After working hard for a long time, the captain left the task of steering to the second officer, and he went into the cabin to rest with a pipe in his mouth. The cook on board gave him a large cup of hot drink, which was very comforting to drink. He grinned and said, "We can make a lot of money again this time."

Although it was hard work, the sailors on the ship all laughed and laughed. It is good to be alive in the last days, and it is absolutely wonderful to be able to live a good life.

Some of the gathered sailors asked: "Captain, are the shrimps we caught really worth the money?"

"Of course, these are Antarctic krill. Now it is nuclear winter, tropical aquatic products are almost dead, Antarctic ice forced these frigid creatures to go to the tropics, so we can catch these precious krill.

We must know that we are not only short of food, but also extremely short of meat and cooking oil, which has had a serious impact on our lives. Many people are malnourished and naturally less resistant to harsh environments and diseases. So many people died inexplicably.

Krill is a high-protein food, stronger than beef, and has a good fat content, which is very nutritious. Now, in order to feed the 300,000 people under it, the legion has dispatched more than a hundred fishing boats to desperately obtain this small creature.

Fortunately, there are a lot of Antarctic krill. With them, the people in the army will not starve to death. We also earn good salaries. You must know that our salary is five times higher than that of ordinary workers on land. How many people are desperate to grab this job! "

Thinking of the various sufferings that everyone has experienced since the end of the world, the sailors felt palpitations and emotions. Many of them could not even swim before they got on the boat, but now they are all good at fighting the wind and waves.

The fishing boats in charge of fishing are one of the few in the "Aurora Legion" that can freely use diesel. Almost all the diesel produced by the Havana oil refinery is used to supply hundreds of fishing boats. For this reason, the sea power in the legion can only use coal-burning warships. It is precisely because of the existence of these ships that the food of the 'Aurora Legion' began to increase.

On the way back to the port, the second officer who operated the boat suddenly shouted: "Captain, there are whales!"

When they heard that there was a whale, all the people on the whole ship jumped up. Some sloppy captains ran to the side of the ship first, looked at the water column not far away and shouted: "Get the harpoon ready for me, use a large charge. We are lucky this time, the blue whale is full More than a hundred tons, it must have come with the krill swarm."

The whole body of a whale is full of treasures. Whale skin, whale meat, whale oil, whale bone, and whalebone are all useful. But now the 'Aurora Legion' has only one way to deal with whales - eat. A single whale can make 10,000 people feast on several meals.

Several fishing boats were equipped with large whaling cannons, and the sailors took out the medicine bag from the waterproof cloth and stuffed it into the cannon mouth, followed by a thick and large whaling harpoon. After the propellant in the medicine bag was activated, the harpoon was shot out with a bang, and a tough steel cable followed behind the harpoon,

Fly to the whale tens of meters away.

"Two more harpoons." The captain in a raincoat threw himself on the side of the ship and shouted the order, so the sailors fired the harpoons again. At this time, the entire fishing fleet discovered that they had not encountered a whale, but a group of whales.

With the accompaniment of heavy rain and strong wind, there were roars one after another on the sea, and the captains of the fishing boats gave orders loudly. Whales are worth as much as krill, if not more, and catching these gigantic creatures can net you a lot of money. This is also the reason why people yearn for hard fishing work nowadays.

When three or four harpoons shot the blue whale that was floating up to take a breath, its huge body rushed out of the sea, struggling with all its might. The hoist on the fishing boat is quickly retracting, trying to pull the prey back.

These fishing boats of the 'Aurora Legion' are all around 1,000 tons, and they cannot handle huge whales. The captains of the ships dragged the captured whales by the stern and brought them all the way back to the port of Havana. This time they dragged seven blue whales with more than a dozen boats, which can be described as a great harvest.

The port has already heard on the radio of the fishing boat's harvest, and hundreds of fish handlers crowd the docks. When I saw the fishing boat dragging a huge whale, there were bursts of cheers on the shore. People nowadays are worrying about food.

The carcasses of the whales were dragged ashore, and workers wearing rubber leather jackets and armed with sharp knives stepped forward to dismember these hilly whales. Whale meat, blubber, and internal organs are processed separately. Where there are Chinese people, there is always no worry about the waste of ingredients.

As soon as the bearded captain landed, he led the exhausted crew to the bar near the port, where they would eat, drink and rest. And the fishing boat will be maintained immediately after cleaning the harvested krill, and another fleet will board the boat in less than a day. But before the sloppy captain arrived at the bar, someone was already waiting for him.

"Are you Captain Andrew?" Two of them stood in front of the captain in black uniforms, and they showed their IDs, saying, "We are from the Legion Investigation Bureau, please come with us and cooperate with us. Work."

"Investigation Bureau? I haven't heard of this department in the Legion." The sloppy captain saw that the two men in front of him were in neat uniforms, obviously from a key department in the Legion.

"We are a newly established department, directly under the management of His Excellency the Chief of the Legion, and our director is Alfred Marshall. Our power is higher than that of the police department." The man in black uniform said coldly.

Hearing that he was directly under the army commander, this posture frightened the sloppy captain. He said nervously, "I'm Andrew, but I've been working hard, and I haven't done anything to betray the Legion. What are you guys doing?"

"I heard you're Mexican, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Ever engaged in smuggling business?"

"Yes."

"Knows a lot about southern Mexico?"

"That's right. I was born and raised in southern Mexico."

"Then we have found the right person, and we need you for a task." (To be continued.)
