Chapter 272 Going to the Military Base

Although Lin Lan still had a lot of questions to ask, his stomach was already rumbling when he smelled the delicious aroma of the fish soup.

The four oil field workers were also very enthusiastic and asked Lin Lan to just hold the bowl and eat without being picky with them.

While drinking the soup and eating the fish, Lin Lan also roughly understood the identities of the four people.

The man who had rescued him from the beach before was Lao Li, the other two uncles were Lao Zhao and Lao Qian, and the young man who brought him the fish soup was Xiao Wu.

Lao Li was an old worker who had worked here for more than 20 years, and the other three were dispatched workers who were later deceived by the Noah Dexin Consortium.

Originally, Lao Zhao, Lao Qian and Xiao Wu were all desperate to work on the dangerous beach, and Lao Li was also worried about being laid off at any time because of his increasing age.

They dared not speak out against the two big consortiums.

But the appearance of the ship girls some time ago changed all this.

"Xiao Wu, your contract has been changed, right? You are not a dispatched worker anymore?"

Lin Lan wolfed down his meal while listening to the four people's daily conversation.

"Hey, that's right. The shipgirls are so decisive. How dare those bullies say no?"

"That's great. Several of my brothers have also been changed to formal contracts. Not only have they received all the benefits they should have, but they also don't have to worry about being deducted at will."

"Look at your achievements. You only see the cancellation of the clauses of random deductions and the compensation of the benefits you should have. Don't you see that your wages will increase with your years of service, and you will even get free treatment for work-related injuries?"

The three of them immediately felt angry after hearing Lao Li's reminder. Cheers:

"Long live the shipgirls! Great!"

At this time, Lin Lan also finished a full pot of fish soup and fish meat, took a long breath, and joined the four people's joyful topic with a smile:

"Congratulations, good days are finally here. Goilia and Noah Dexin are really no good, they should have been severely punished long ago."

"Speaking of which, have you seen those shipgirls who stood up for you?"

It is undoubtedly a source of pride to have your joy recognized and congratulated by others. These four simple oil field workers now regard Lin Lan as one of their own.

Old Li smiled and replied to Lin Lan:

"Of course I have seen it. The shipgirls have now occupied Goilia's old nest, Xinyang Artificial Island, and they have also built their base nearby."

"Every morning we can see them patrolling the nearby sea, and from time to time there will be carrier-based aircraft flying over from the sky, which makes us feel safe."

Originally, Lin Lan was not sure that the shipgirls the four people were talking about were the White Eagle shipgirls in his port area.

But after hearing about the occupation of Goilia's artificial island and the construction of a base, he was almost 100% sure that the ship girls these people were talking about were his White Eagle Ship Girls.

Then what he had to do next was very clear. First, go to the nearest White Eagle Base, and then inform the Iron Blood Camp that he had escaped from the Siren.

"I'm afraid I have to go to their base later. How far is their base from here?"

"Oh, yes, you are the commander, you must have some intelligence to report as soon as possible. It's not good to waste time..."

After hearing Lin Lan's words, Lao Li was also very considerate. After thinking for a moment, he said to Lin Lan:

"Well, if you are in good health, Commander, I will let Xiao Wu drive the speedboat to take you to the outskirts of the base. It will take more than ten minutes."

"You can go to the base by yourself at that time, and we won't waste your time."

Xiao Wu proudly puffed up his chest and took off his coat, revealing his muscular muscles tanned by the sun:

"Commander, although I am about the same age as you, I won the first place in the Anna City Speedboat Competition. Don't worry!"

"That's great. Thank you all!"

Seeing the warm-heartedness of these workers, even Lin Lan couldn't help but be deeply moved by their kindness.

Although he wanted to thank them, he had no money and even lost his cell phone.

So he could only thank them verbally and then leave immediately.

After saying goodbye to Lao Li, Lao Zhao and Lao Qian, Lin Lan followed Xiao Wu out of the dormitory and walked towards the beach.

Lin Lan also took this opportunity to see the whole picture of the oil field.

The humming sound of the machine he heard when he woke up just now was the sound of dozens of "nodding machines" on the beach, that is, the equipment for extracting underground oil.

Many Goilia workers wearing yellow coats and helmets were supervising the operation of these nodding machines, and several tankers were constantly loading crude oil.

There were three or four large cargo ships parked at the dock on the coast, which were obviously oil tankers for long-distance transportation.

Lin Lan also found that these workers were very motivated to work, and their faces were full of smiles, which was completely different from the oppressed workers in the East Continent he had heard before.

Perhaps it was because the White Eagles ordered the consortium to make some reforms to their contracts and salaries.

The specific situation would have to wait until he went to the base and reunited with the ship girls.

Anyway, it seemed that these workers were living very happily, and they had no complaints even when doing such heavy work.

Soon he and Xiao Wu boarded a small speedboat at the dock. After starting the speedboat, Xiao Wu also controlled the direction while smiling at Lin Lan and said:

"Commander, when you go to the base and meet the ship girls, you must convey to them that we are all very grateful to them."

"That's natural, and I will definitely convey it."

Lin Lan replied with a smile, but he was also thinking about which White Eagle ship girls he would meet in a while.

As we all know, the number of White Eagle Ship Girls in his port area is at least nearly double that of Iron-Blooded Ship Girls.

Like Saratoga or New Jersey, they must still be on the artificial island of Xinyang, which should be quite far away from here.

Well, no matter what, he was looking forward to it.

Lin Lan asked Xiao Wu the time. It was after three in the afternoon.

The sun in the sky is very warm on my body, and the sea breeze blowing from the speedboat does not feel chilly at all on my cheeks.

This is the climate difference between the east and west continents of the United States of Oran.

When winter comes in the Western Continent, there will be heavy snowfall, and even the sea will freeze, making it difficult to sail.

Although the Eastern Continent can also snow in late winter, winter has just begun and it is much warmer than the Western Continent.

It is said that the Liaozhou Islands are like spring all year round and there is no obvious climate change. This will only be known after he goes there.

Their speedboat was not very far from the land. It could be said that it drove along the coast. Soon Lin Lan saw a flat area protruding from the land ahead.

From a distance, he could still see that this flat area had walls, three- and four-story houses, and shore defense sentry guns and other facilities.

Not to mention, looking from a distance, it really looked like the photos of the White Eagle Military Base he saw on Blue Star.

"Commander, I am approaching the shore. The sea area will be blocked if we go further."

Under Xiao Wu's introduction, the two's speedboat also approached the coast.

Lin Lan was the first to jump off the speedboat and step into the shallow sea.

"Thank you again. I really have nothing to repay you with, hey."

Lin Lan, who was stepping in the seawater, said with an apologetic smile to Xiao Wu on the speedboat.

"Hey, Commander, please don't be polite. The Navy Department and the ship ladies can protect our safety, which is the best reward. Then I will go back!"

After waving goodbye to the young oil field worker, Lin Lan turned around and stepped on the sea water alone towards the beach.

It was only a short ten-minute walk from here to the military base ahead, but Lin Lan felt more and more excited for no reason.

"I wonder who the White Eagle Ship Girl will be the first I see?"

"Are they having a good time here? Are they worried about me?"

"How should I explain to them how I got here?"

…

One question after another popped up in Lin Lan's mind, causing him to speed up and walk towards the White Eagle Military Base.
