Chapter 1064 Smoke but No Fire
At this moment, the sun was setting, with only half of it visible above the sea, turning the surface golden.
The soldiers on the Filipino warship were getting hungry. Looking at the luxury cruise ship in the distance, they decided to ask them for a light.
So he stood at the bow of the boat and kept waving his clothes at Li Mo'er and the others.
Li Mo'er and the others didn't have time to pay attention to them. At this moment, they were enjoying barbecue while watching the sunset over the sea!
Li Mo'er's mind was constantly focused on the group of Filipino soldiers.
While keeping an eye on her, he secretly chuckled. Those chain smokers were in real trouble; they'd brought plenty of cigarettes, but without a light, they were doomed.
Whenever they craved a cigarette, they would harass the young soldier. The young soldier would be beaten until he huddled at the stern, crying incessantly.
By 7 p.m., the group of Filipino soldiers were thirsty and hungry, and there was no food or water on the ship.
Recalling the moment they opened the grain warehouse, they felt like vomiting. It was full of cow dung. At that moment, they felt like dying.
They have no food or water. They had arranged to visit them three days after arriving in China, but what can they do now? They probably won't last another day.
The only hope now is that luxury cruise ship in the distance, but no matter how much he shakes his arm, it's swollen, and there's not a single response from the other side.
With no other option, the group had to go to sleep, hungry and craving cigarettes.
Hopefully, a ship will be sent from China to see them tomorrow, so they won't have to suffer from hunger and cold.
It has to be said that the vast sea is really cold at night. They have so much coal, but they can't light a stove.
The most miserable were the seven or eight who smoked, enduring hunger and thirst while being forced to quit smoking.
For them, the most tragic thing in life is having smoke but no fire.
Nowadays, the only things on the ship are coal and cow dung, and oh yes, enough cigarettes to last a month.
Around 11 p.m., the tide receded to its lowest point, and the Filipino soldiers, too hungry to sleep, decided to go into the water, hoping to catch a few fish.
But no matter how cold they were, their teeth chattered, they didn't catch a single fish.
A soldier, with a flashlight in his mouth, swam towards the mainland on the island, hoping to find something to fill his stomach.
However, it took the soldier half an hour to finally reach the island.
Turn on the flashlight and look at the island; all you can see is desolation. There's hardly anything to eat, and even plants are scarce.
The soldiers' hearts sank to the bottom. Was this the end? There was no food at all. How were they going to survive for the next three days? Were they really going to have to eat cow dung?
My stomach was growling with hunger, and the sea breeze was howling. I originally wanted to be a hero who conquered China's islands, but I never expected to end up like this. I really regret coming here.
I was so exhausted that I didn't have the strength to swim back. I could only find a sheltered place on the island to sleep and try to swim back the next morning.
At this moment, Li Mo'er and Zhao Yunting were discussing creating a landmass in the South China Sea similar to Donghai City, where they could build a base. The South China Sea Fleet's warships could then dock, rest, and resupply there.
Zhao Yunting said, "I've seen the information you brought. The Philippines will continue to illegally occupy many islands in the future. Why don't we clear out all those islands first, and then put them all in one place? That would form a piece of land. Then we can station troops, provide rest areas for fishermen, or even build a city in the South China Sea."
Li Mo'er thought of Singapore. This country has a land area of only over 700 square kilometers, but it has become one of the Four Asian Tigers because of its geographical advantages. If a super large port were built here, where merchant ships could dock, resupply, and trade, wouldn't it become a super treasure trove that could earn foreign exchange?
I'll discuss this with my godfather when I get back. The country doesn't have much money right now, and it's also preparing to build Donghai City, so it probably doesn't have much energy to build Nanhai City. But I have money. If I were to fund the construction and operation of this island, I don't know if the country would agree.
