Chapter 57 Plan to Set Sail

Fatty spent a long time explaining things to Han Yu, but Han Yu didn't seem to care, as if she was either angry or simply indifferent.

Geniuses are always hard to fathom.

After Jennifer joined us, our team ranking became:

Me = Rou Yi = Fatty = Han Yu > Li Decha > Jennifer.

When holding secret meetings, Li Decha and Jennifer were usually excluded. However, under some circumstances, Li Decha could still participate in the formulation of some plans and proposals, while Jennifer didn't even have the qualification to listen in.

Jennifer was very annoyed by this. She protested many times, saying that we were deceiving her, using delaying tactics, and planning to kick her out when the time was right.

In fact, Jennifer was right. Rou Yi had thought so from the beginning.

She hadn't left after being left out for so long, sticking to us like a band-aid. I guessed that, first, Jennifer believed that her father's affairs were inseparable from us and wanted to investigate, and second, Fatty's cooking skills were indeed outstanding. Jennifer had visibly gained weight during this period.

However, this couldn't go on forever. Jennifer's resentment was growing. Every time we held a meeting without her, she would get angry and want to spar with Fatty. Every time, Fatty would easily subdue her. After being subdued, she would honestly stop causing trouble. This behavior didn't seem like a protest, but rather like Jennifer actively flirting with Fatty.

Later, we made up a story, saying that we were going to the sea to find treasure, so we needed to formulate a sea voyage plan.

Jennifer definitely didn't believe our nonsense, but seeing that we were seriously planning a sea voyage, and that Fatty and Li Decha were often running to the city to purchase various supplies and food necessary for sailors, Jennifer gradually believed that we were really going to sea.

Later, we slowly revealed more information. When Jennifer learned that we were going to the Bermuda Triangle, she looked at us in surprise, "Are you crazy? What treasure is there? Don't you know that the Bermuda Triangle is also known as the Triangle of Death?"

She went on to say, "During my service, military training at the time would avoid that area. Even so, many fighter planes and ships strayed into that area and disappeared... Are you kidding me?"

Seeing that we knew the danger of the Bermuda Triangle and were determined, Jennifer shook her head and said, "You wouldn't have made up this story just to kick me out, would you?"

Rou Yi smiled and said, "We're not kidding you. Moreover, this operation is nothing compared to Daniel's previous crazy actions."

"So, there's still time to quit now." After Rou Yi finished speaking, I immediately took over, hoping that this crazy woman would get lost as soon as possible, "Alas, this operation is really too dangerous, a narrow escape from death, young girl, don't delay yourself."

Jennifer wouldn't fall for this: "If you can go, why can't I? I'll go."

This failure to dissuade her later became a foreshadowing of our successful sea voyage. Jennifer played a very important role in the final few planning sessions.

Considering the "inverted" incident that occurred on the Brazilian fishing boat in the Bermuda Triangle waters last time, the inversion of the hull caused seawater to flood the cabin, and all the crew drowned.

The difficulty in the plan to go to the Bermuda Triangle was the modification of the seagoing vessel, which had to be able to cope with the occurrence of inversion, and preferably be able to move underwater.

For ship modification, a closed environment was required, as well as the ability to withstand the scouring of sea waves and a certain degree of seawater pressure. Rou Yi inquired with several shipyards specializing in ship modification. To successfully modify a ship, it would take at least two to three months, even with expedited service, it would take a month and a half.

Everyone saw that I was getting older and older, and seemed to have aged a few more years compared to when I first met them in the sanatorium. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

From modifying the ship to going to sea, and then searching for the target in the Bermuda Triangle, this would take three or four months. Maybe I would be dead of old age before I found the underwater gate.

"Little smarty" Jennifer saw that we were worried about the ship, so she raised her hand, "Why do we have to use a ship? Would a submarine work?"

Everyone suddenly realized, as if enlightened, and slapped their foreheads, saying, "Oh dear, why didn't I think of that!"

Jennifer said smugly, "It's mainly because I was in the Navy for a few years, so I know more about things at sea..."

"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier! If we knew you had a naval background, how could we not let you join our warm family!" I smiled flatteringly at her.

Jennifer clicked her tongue in disgust: "You're such a dirty old man..."

Damn it, I was a handsome young man when I was young. Seeing that I was about to lose my temper, Fatty quickly held me down and whispered in my ear, "You weren't her opponent when you were in your twenties, let alone now that you're an old man, forget it, don't argue with a little girl..."

Rou Yi said, "A submarine is a very good solution, but where can we find one... And who can drive it... It's not like a fishing boat, where you can learn and drive at the same time and slowly get the hang of it."

Jennifer said triumphantly, "I can help you get a submarine... As for driving, I definitely can't do it alone, I have to find someone to cooperate with me~"

Then Jennifer looked at Fatty with seductive eyes, and Fatty got goosebumps before I could translate for him.

After I translated Jennifer's words to him, Fatty shook his head repeatedly, and flatly refused, "Fatty here is an army man, I don't understand anything about the navy at all, it's not even close!"

Li Decha and I originally planned to replace Fatty to assist her, but Jennifer rejected them for various reasons. She said that I was old and dim-sighted and that my legs and feet were not agile, and that Li Decha was well-developed in the brain and simple in the limbs and could not bear the great responsibility.

It turned out that Jennifer had already pre-selected someone and wanted Fatty to cooperate with her. In order to serve this great Buddha well, the others could only persuade Fatty to quickly agree to her request.

Considering that Jennifer could operate a submarine, our plan to find an opportunity to kick Jennifer out before going to sea fell through. Rou Yi had no choice but to sternly warn Jennifer, "This sea voyage mission is very dangerous, a narrow escape from death. We are all mentally prepared and have reasons why we must go, but you are different. You don't need to get involved in this at all..."

Seeing that Jennifer was unmoved, Rou Yi increased her efforts: "...During the Himalayan expedition, Daniel mistakenly estimated his ability, which led to his death. Please don't follow in his footsteps."

Jennifer didn't think so much, she just felt that everyone was not afraid, and she didn't need to worry too much, so she resolutely went to sea with the team.

She also did not forget to take the opportunity to show her love to Fatty: "Fatty *gege* is not afraid, and I am not afraid either..."

This American woman is beyond salvation...
