Chapter 388: Prototype of the Black Pearl

POSTED ON MAY 17, 2023 BY KEN

As soon as the middle-aged man was released, he immediately opened his mouth wide open to breathe in frantically. Then, he was punched in the abdomen by Fang Linyan, and he immediately curled up and vomited in extreme pain.

After being attacked by Fang Linyan in such a stormy attack, the middle-aged man’s sense of resistance has disappeared.

At this time, Fang Linyan waited for him to catch his breath, then he pressed a saber against his neck and said in a low voice,

“I don’t want to kill, but I don’t mind killing either.”

“Now, tell me, do you want to be tied up and gagged alive or wait for someone to find your bloody corpse?”

The middle-aged man trembled,

“Sir, I don’t want to die.”

Fang Linyan said,

“Your name.”

“My name is Pence.” The middle-aged man trembled.

Fang Linyan said,

“Very well, Mr. Pence. Listen, we have never met, so there is no enmity. I didn’t mean to rob, otherwise I would have gone directly to Las Vegas.”

“The purpose of my coming here is just to see the relics left by the rumor aliens; corpses, clothes, crashed spaceships… anything.”

“If you can meet my request, then here is 50,000 euros as your reward. If you can’t, then don’t blame me for doing something I shouldn’t do in anger!”

After hearing Fang Linyan’s words, Pence hurriedly said,

“Sir, what you’re looking for is in the Green Zone.”

Fang Linyan said,

“Oh, what’s a Green Zone?”

Pence said,

“Actually, the function of Area 51 is more for military purposes to test various advanced weapons. Even the underground nuclear test site in Nevada is also set up here, so the military is particularly strict with it.”

“And the Green Zone is to store some things that are considered to be valuable in the future, but in fact, the value is not seen yet.”

Fang Linyan frowned and said,

“Speak English!”

Pence wiped his nosebleed with a wry smile,

“Well, one of the most representatives of the Green Zone is a strange crystal wand, which even attracts every president to come and see it.”

Fang Linyan wondered,

“What crystal wand?”

Pence said,

“This crystal wand can emit light continuously, probably with a brightness that can clearly illuminate a large room, and the surface temperature remains at normal temperature. Science and technology have not found any signs of radiation from it so far.”

Fang Linyan was thinking that this stuff was really ordinary, but what Pence said next shocked him,

“So far, this crystal wand has been shining continuously for 146 years.”

Fang Linyan took a deep breath, then smiled and said,

“Interesting. It really will be valuable in the future, but not now.”

Pence sighed,

“So, most of the things in the Green Zone are actually worthless. Almost most of them are junks.”

Fang Linyan smiled after hearing his words,

“It’s okay. I like junk.”

After finishing speaking, he simply punched Pence in the stomach again. Pence’s eyes suddenly widened, and he retched in pain for a long time on the bed before recovering.

At this moment, Fang Linyan said calmly,

“This punch is to warn you not to make up your own mind and try to induce my thoughts.”

“I’ll give you another choice now. You don’t have to take me there, but I will tie you here and make it impossible for you to ask for help. Then, I will go find someone else.”

“The other option is, you take me to the Green Zone and get 100,000 euros. Your choice.”

Pence gasped. He really wanted to choose the first one.

However, he knew very well that such a person who dared to sneak into the military restricted zone probably didn’t take his own life seriously at all!

Such person didn’t even care about their own lives, so of course he didn’t care about other people’s lives.

So the first choice seemed to be very good, but he felt that the chance of being silenced immediately was more than 90%!!

A wise man should never place his life on the character of others.

Under such circumstances, Pence, the smart man, resolutely chose to protect himself and said painfully,

“Okay, I’ll choose the second option, but if we want to go to the Green Zone, we need to get a person. Only he has a reasonable excuse to take us to the green zone.”

“Well, he’s my brother, so I can easily call him over, and he’s in a financial crisis now. I don’t want the 100,000 euros. You can just give him. He can’t refuse the money. “

Fang Linyan smiled and said,

“Very well, it seems that you have finally recognized the situation, but you can take the money I gave you with ease! Since he needs money, I will naturally give him a sum of money. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. “

Only 10 minutes later, the man whom Pence called came.

His name was Gertai. He made an easy choice when facing the euro and the knife.

It turned out that Gertai was a mechanic and electrician in the Green Zone, so he had the keys to everywhere.

However, things like the luminous crystal and some suspected alien weapons and corpses were placed in a P1-Level restricted area, which belonged to the category where he could not pass freely, but the guards there were still not strict.

Because in the eyes of Americans, valuable things would not be placed here.

As for the things that were left here, even the world’s number one in technology couldn’t benefit from them, so the rest of the scum couldn’t as well.

Then Fang Linyan changed into a mechanic’s costume and followed Gertai into the Green Zone. There was almost no visitor at day, let alone at night.

According to Fang Linyan’s request, the first place they went was the large warehouse in the Green Zone, where some large or super-giant objects related to mysteries were placed.

The size of this large warehouse was far beyond Fang Linyan’s imagination. The warehouse was very simple. It could be understood as digging a large flat-bottomed pit, then it was surrounded with barbed wire and covered with a durable plastic roof.

But the occupied area was astonishing, reaching at least the size of 4 football fields.

Because this was in the Nevada desert, it was very dry all year round, so even such a sloppy preservation method could still play a good protective role.

The first thing that appeared in front of him directly made Fang Linyan dumbfounded.

It turned out to be an extremely huge warship weighing 6,000 tons. Although the surface of the warship was already rusted, the words Eldridge could still be vaguely seen.

After a few seconds, Fang Linyan couldn’t help but said,

“The USS Eldridge? Is it the one in the Philadelphia Experiment?”

Gertai said,

“Yes, it was the warship that was used as a test object to verify an experiment that could be called a supernatural technology.”

“Professor Jessup, who was in charge of this project, believed that this experiment, if successful, would directly open a new era for mankind.”

“Because the purpose of the experiment was to teleport the USS Eldridge to the Norfolk dock 479 kilometers away, then teleport it back.”

Fang Linyan said,

“Didn’t the government say it was a rumor?”

Pence suddenly sneered and said,

“If it is really a rumor, why should the government refute the rumor?”

After Fang Linyan heard what he said, he suddenly felt that what this guy said made sense, and he was speechless.

Pence continued,

“In fact, when the experiment was conducted, there were still 198 crew members on board the destroyer Eldridge. Within a week after completing the experiment, more than half of the crew members had a strange flashing phenomenon.”

“They would suddenly disappear where they were staying, and then reappeared after a while, but they themselves didn’t know it.”

“Within 1 year after the experiment was completed, 68 of the crew members who had the flashing phenomenon disappeared in place for longer and longer until finally they never reappeared at all.”

“Of course, a series of strange things happened to the destroyer Eldridge. First, someone discovered that there was a strange singing sound on it.”

“It was a song that lured people to check it out. Whoever who went to check it out never came back. It was the song Home! Sweet Home that was popular during the Civil War.”

“Next, apart from the singing, there were screams, gunshots, and charges on the ship. What was even more frightening was that the USS Eldridge grew 3 meters longer in one year!”

“This supernatural phenomenon had seriously affected the lives of the people in the port and the ship, so after discussion, it was disassembled and transported here.”

Fang Linyan couldn’t help but look at another wreck. It could barely be seen that it was a ship, but it was a wooden sailing ship from the 16th century with a displacement of about 300 tons.

“Why does this thing appear here?”

Gertai said,

“Have you heard the legend of the Black Pearl?”

Fang Linyan took a breath,

“Hell no, Pirates of the Caribbean? Jack Sparrow?”

Gertai said,

“Yes, this ship is called the Bago, which is the prototype of the Black Pearl. At that time, not long after Alaska was sold to the United States by Russia, our Third Fleet began to cruise north of the Bering Strait.”

“One night, a destroyer named Stannis in the Third Fleet collided head-on with an iceberg and almost sank.”

“On the second day, we found out that a ship was actually frozen in the iceberg! And through the iceberg, we could see that the people inside the ship were dressed as pirates in the 17th century. All of them were lifelike, and their faces were full of ecstasy. “

“It seems that when they were frozen in the iceberg, their expressions didn’t change at all.”

“But the weirdest thing is that at night, everyone on the Bago in the iceberg would turn into skeletons! And there would be a lot of mountains made of gold bricks on the deck!”

“Because of coveting the mountains of golden bricks on the deck, the Stannis dragged the iceberg back to the port after repairing the warship.”

“As a result, when dragging, it happened to be the night of the full moon. All the crew members of the Bago rushed out of the iceberg and started killing. Only 5 crew members jumped into the lifeboat in time and escaped successfully!”

TL: These are all ships though, are there really any spaceships?
