Chapter 471: Icelandic Horror (5)
If you don't eat whale meat and go to sea, will you see whales?
The driver's words shocked everyone in the car. Yu Xiangyang frowned and asked, "We are going out to sea to watch whales. Is there any relationship between eating whale meat and watching whales?"
"Is there something wrong with your driver's brain? You're really going to make me laugh. Why, those big beasts in the sea can still smell the meat in our mouths and run away in advance?"
Walker also sneered and taunted, but the driver stopped talking. An Xuefeng, who was the closest, noticed that the driver was in something wrong. He trembled as if he was afraid of something. Without saying a word with a sullen face, he roughly thrust the hunting rifle into Bingyi, then grabbed the bag of whale meat and tore open the bag. He swallowed the large piece of roasted whale in one gulp. The scarlet meat shreds were stuffed between his teeth, like raw meat. The oil from the roasted whale meat stained his beard and collar, and he didn't even care about the dirt.
There was something strange about the driver's behavior and what he just said. An Xuefeng was about to explore again, but there was a gun in front of him.
"Please help me take a look at this gun."
An Xuefeng raised his eyes and saw Bing Yiwo sitting in the passenger seat. He didn't seem to be very interested in the gun that he had exchanged for roasted whale meat. He pursed his lips indifferently and gave the gun to him casually: "I am Ordinary people who keep their peace of mind have never used guns.”
"But you should know better."
"It's good to have a gun for self-defense here."
An Xuefeng took it without comment and checked it. This gun was covered in thick oil, and there were even some shredded meat oil residue that exuded a rotten smell in the gaps. There was no professional gun protection and cleaning equipment at hand, but Wei Xun did bring some cleaning and maintenance equipment with him. A soft cloth and cleaning fluid for the blade.
Yu Xiangyang made room for him, and An Xuefeng sat down with the gun in his arms and cleaned it. It took three soft cloths to barely wipe off the dirt.
This is a double-barreled shotgun, also known as a double-barreled shotgun. It is a very early hunting gun with a very wide range of practicality. Even now, hunters still like to use this gun in many places where hunting is not prohibited. It has two side-by-side barrels, a large caliber, and a center-fold loading method. The disadvantage is that it must manually load bullets, and there is no magazine. It can only load two rounds at a time, and it takes a long time to change ammunition.
But it is extremely powerful and can shoot two bullets at a time. Especially when killing prey at close range, it can even turn over the scalp of a bear. An experienced hunter can kill large animals to the ground with one shot.
An Xuefeng noticed that there were two horizontal and three vertical scratches on the butt of the gun. They were dirty reddish brown, as if soaked in blood. The double-barreled gun has a wooden butt. An Xuefeng knew that in the past, some old hunters would go into the mountains alone to hunt large prey such as bears, tigers, and wild boars. Once they hunted a good one, they would use the bones and blood of the prey to show off. , leaving a notch on the butt as a souvenir.
What did the driver hunt with this gun? What big game are there in a place like Iceland? The driver gave him an animal skin pocket filled with bullets. An Xuefeng glanced at it and found that there were ten bullets.
seal? Polar bear? Or...will he kill people?
"for you."
After thinking about it, An Xuefeng handed the double-barreled shotgun back to Bingyi and told him in a few words how to use the gun - the double-barreled shotgun has great recoil, so be careful when using it.
Then he discovered that Bingyi had changed his gloves, and after carefully looking at the double-barreled shotgun that he had thoroughly cleaned, he took it into his hands with satisfaction. Looks like he understands.
Is it because I don’t know how to use it and I want him to explain it? Or is he a mysophobic who deliberately makes excuses to let him clean the gun?
An Xuefeng found it interesting and deliberately handed the dirty cloth that had been wiped with the gun covered with oily flesh and meat to him, as if he wanted to let Bingyi analyze what kind of oily flesh and blood was on it. Sure enough, he saw Bingyi squeezing towards the window again. Shrunk——
Haha, I really have mysophobia.
But it’s also possible that it’s just an act.
After deliberately testing it several times, until Bingyi completely covered his head with his hood and turned his back, An Xuefeng was satisfied (?) that Bingyi was not pretending on purpose.
He has a mysophobia, is seriously ill and is about to die, his background is a mystery, and his subordinate has extraordinary powers - Shaoyuan came to him when he was in the hotel just now and showed him his hand. An Xuefeng acted calm, but there was a turmoil in his heart, which was simply beyond his knowledge. Let’s not mention Walker and others for now. Shao Yuan, Miao Fangfei and other five people are obviously Bingyi’s subordinates. It is very likely that these five people have extraordinary qualities.
Bingyi's background is so deep, no wonder there are no clues about Yu Hehui's disappearance. Miao Fangfei and others obviously knew him, so what status did ‘Wei Xun’ have in Bing’s eyes?
This time going out to watch whales on the vast sea, An Xuefeng thought this was a good opportunity to test it out. He no longer teased Bingyi, but quietly joined the discussion of Miao Fangfei and others.
Compared to the five Yu Xiangyang and the five West District travelers, Miao Fangfei and the others obviously knew more inside information, and they were not particularly repulsive to him.
Sure enough, An Xuefeng got a lot of information from Miao Fangfei and the others. It takes an hour from the hotel to the old port, so this is the last chance to discuss plans.
"I found a sign under my bed that whale hunting is prohibited."
Miao Fangfei said seriously: "In recent months, the Ocean Protector ship will cruise around Iceland to protect marine wildlife."
"They act in extreme ways, scuttling commercial fishing boats and ramming whalers at sea."
Teach you how to set up a reading page, come and take a look!
Shao Yuan added: "I found a leaflet in the trash can. The name of the room we stayed in the hotel was the name of the whaling ship."
He took out the flyer. Against the dark blue ocean background were rows of names crossed out with bloody red crosses.
In 1986, the whaling ships Yvar 6 and Yvar 7 were hit and sunk in the waters of Iceland.
In 1990, the whaler Zybraena was rammed and sank in Norwegian waters;
1 was rammed and sunk in Norwegian waters;
1rild was hit and sunk in Danish waters;
…
"So whale meat is a very precious ingredient in the hotel, and it is only available in our team meals."
Yao Jinghe said that when they went to talk to Bai Lian, Yu Xiangyang and others, they found that only Team B’s team meal had grilled whale steak and whale meatball pasta, while Yu Xiangyang’s lunch was ordinary meatball pasta. Noodles with seafood soup.
It is convenient for two teams with different difficulty levels of attractions to join together and discuss with each other. It is easy to compare and compare the differences.
"Huh? According to you, whale meat is still a good thing?"
Walker listened for a while and complained in disgust: "That thing stinks like rotten meat. I threw it all away without eating a bite."
Miao Fangfei and Shao Yuan looked at each other and became more convinced that there was something wrong with the whale meat.
"Maybe eating this stuff will make you insane."
Miranda sarcastically said that hostility is hostility, but if you don't participate in this discussion of exchanging information, you would be a fool. After a while, they are in the same boat.
"We just need to take some photos, but you have to have close contact with the whales."
The man next to Miranda chuckled. He looked a little sloppy and thin, like a tall bamboo pole, but he was very strong. You could see the tip of his split tongue when he spoke. Just like some Internet celebrities in the United States who are pursuing novels and attracting attention have performed tongue plastic surgery to imitate the American urban horror legend "Lizard Man".
Although the Lizard Duke is called 'Lizard', his alienated form is a wingless golden dragon. But for the mid-level three-star passenger named Charlie, the strongest purple title is that of a true 'lizard man'. He is a supporter of Miranda, and just looking at that tongue gives people a sense of evil with malicious intentions.
"I see that whale is not something you can touch casually."
Charlie's meaning was very clear, and Miao Fangfei and others also knew it. A journey of peak difficulty will definitely involve all kinds of mental pollution and unspeakable terrifying monsters.
The whale they are going to have close contact with at sea is most likely the kind of monster that normal people cannot see, and only those who have suffered a mental breakdown and are severely polluted can 'see' it.
The 'whale meat' may be a prop to attract monsters, or it may be contaminated food that makes them suffer mental breakdown.
The problem is that the 'whales' attracted by eating whale meat are most likely hostile to them. From various leaflets in the hotel, it can be seen that there is an animal protection vessel called "Ocean Protector" wandering at sea. If they eat whale meat, they are likely to have their yachts rammed and sunk by ocean conservationists.
"But it's also possible that ocean conservationists are protecting ordinary whales."
Yao Jinghe said: "Ordinary whales and the whales we want to observe may have a hostile relationship."
The polluted 'whales' are contaminating the sea, contaminating other normal whales, and ocean protectors may be turning against them.
"If we are on the same side as the protectors, we might be able to ride on their ship when the ship sinks and seize a chance of survival."
Miao Fangfei made the final decision. They were basically convinced that this whale watching trip would definitely encounter a dangerous shipwreck. The problem was how to get in touch with the whales as soon as possible and how to escape as much as possible after the shipwreck.
It would be great if Captain Crimson could regain his memory.
The little tiger Yin Guangyuan secretly glanced at Tang Xiang who was chatting with Yu Xiangyang. Although they were both called Tang Xiang the Big Turtle, his official orange title was actually the 'Green Island Turtle'.
He can turn into an extremely huge giant turtle, like a small island. If he can recover his memory, he will not be afraid of a shipwreck on the sea.
"The old port has arrived."

When the bus arrived at its destination, the weather outside did not improve at all, but became worse. The strong wind carried cold rain, causing the scattered ships in the harbor to heave violently. There were no people on the street, and everything was dark, just like night. Bingyi and B1 went to go through the procedures to pick up the boat, and the bus driver George also went with them. He had many jobs and would be the captain who would sail the boat out to sea.
The tourists took the time to stroll around the Old Port and found that all the shops were closed except for a store called 'Ocean Gold' that was open.
Miao Fangfei and others went in and took a look and found that this small store only sold Icelandic fish oil, a specialty of Iceland.
"Oh, our fish oil is of high quality and low price, and it is an exclusive secret recipe!"
The shop owner is also an 'Iceland resident' and is very kind to tourists from the East District such as Miao Fangfei: "It's the Aurora season now, and many people will suffer from anxiety. Icelandic fish oil is the best health product to combat anxiety. No one will refuse health!"
The boss tried his best to sell, with a bright smile on his face: "Look, I have been taking Icelandic fish oil all year round, and I have never suffered from any anxiety attacks - get out of here you bunch of beasts! Don't pass by my door, otherwise I will shoot you." "
"Bang bang!"
Before the deafening and terrifying gunshots rang out, Miao Fangfei saw the sudden change in the store owner's expression, and immediately pushed down the people around her and lay down. Others were not slow to react, and sure enough, the next moment there was gunfire and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke. The shop owner cursed, raised his gun, and rushed out of the shop with a ferocious face, shouting in the night, 'Don't let me see you again! ’ ‘You damn beasts! ’, while shooting.
"Roger and Betty just passed by the store."
Yin Guangyuan whispered, the tiger had a keen sense of smell, and he smelled the scent of the two of them.
Roger and Betty are both high-level three-star West End tourists. They are a couple. One has the purple title of 'football captain' and the other has the purple title of 'cheerleader'. They are considered a small group under Miranda, and they are different from her. Too much to deal with.
"Icelandic residents seem to recognize that they are polar bears."
Yin Guangyuan whispered, Roger and Betty were just passing by the door, the boss seemed crazy, and the driver's behavior before was really abnormal.
"It should just be suspicion, not confirmation."
Miao Fangfei shook her head. Both the driver and the store manager only threatened to expel them and did not actually kill them.
"I wonder how we are perceived by the people of Iceland."
Is it a human, or an ‘Iceland horse? ’. If it is the former, even if it is really contaminated in the scenic spot, they only need to verify the identity of the 'horse' at night and deal with the pollution beforehand. But if it is the latter, once they are contaminated and return to the Icelandic mainland, I am afraid that all Icelandic residents will be hostile to them and shoot them, which may even be worse than what happened to polar bears.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, did I scare you?"
Just then the boss came back, and Miao Fangfei and others said no more. Although judging from the boss’s performance, his claim that ‘Icelandic Fish Oil’ can combat anxiety is very unbelievable. But Miao Fangfei and the others still bought some and got a lot of information from the boss who was very happy about the business.
For example, the Snæfellsjökull volcano has had several small eruptions recently, and the government has repeatedly warned Icelandic residents to stay at home and avoid going out.
For example, volcanic eruptions have had a severe impact on the environment around Iceland.
"The seals can't be seen anymore."
The boss complained: "There is also a baby killer whale that has died. Its mother, the female killer whale, we call her Lovelin, has been carrying the body. I don't know how long the memorial period for the killer whale will last. I heard from the captain who often went to sea that the body of the killer whale calf was starting to rot.”

"How could I lie to you? I am really the president of the Icelandic Horse Thoroughbred Association!"
At the same time, An Xuefeng was also collecting intelligence. He deliberately separated from the others and acted alone. He tried to contact the superiors using his mobile phone, but did not receive any response. Of course he heard the gunshots over there and noticed someone in the alley. When An Xuefeng pretended to be attracted by the gunfire and looked in that direction, people in the alley behind him attacked him——
He was knocked to the ground by An Xuefeng with three punches.
Wei Xun's body is still a bit weak. An Xuefeng could knock someone unconscious with just one punch. But now this man is not fainted, and he is still talking nonsense like, 'The pony is really strong,' it hurts me to kick,' and 'it's a good stallion,' until An Xuefeng draws a knife and puts it to his throat to threaten him. Only after his throat was cut and bloody did the man become more honest.
He claimed to be the president of the Icelandic Horse Thoroughbred Association. This was not an attack on him, but an attempt to protect him. But An Xuefeng's eyes rolled wildly when he saw him speaking, full of greed, and he couldn't tell the truth at first glance.
"I'm really protecting you. You got off Old George's car, right? I saw it with my own eyes."
The man lowered his voice like a hissing snake: "He is a piece of shit. He used to do whaling, but after being scared by the marine protectors, he started smuggling Icelandic horses... If you want to go out with his ship, just do it." It’s impossible to go back to Iceland, he will sell you all!”
