Chapter 3613 What kind of humanitarianism is this?

On the dark and calm sea, a research vessel flying the Japanese flag was sailing steadily.

Before entering the Roaring Forties, the sea was relatively calm. Both large and small ships could see each other using their shipboard radar. Within a radius of several kilometers, there were only two ships, one large and one small.

This Japanese research vessel was Wu Bolin's target this time.

Even with his strength, he couldn't traverse the entire Roaring Forties on his own, so he needed to find a research vessel to hitch a ride on, preferably to find a place to stay in Antarctica.

Of the research vessels that have departed from Ushuaia these days, only the Japanese ship is from East Asia. Although Wu Bolin had not seen Japanese people since the First Sino-Japanese War, he knew that since they were both from East Asia, there was not much difference in physical characteristics between Chinese and Japanese people. So, mingling with the Japanese research team was the best option for him at the moment.

As the two ships drew closer, Wu Bolin was preparing to board them by wading when they got even closer. However, when the other ship detected the approaching distance on its radar, it changed course and prepared to circle around the other ship at a safe distance. Upon seeing this, Wu Bolin immediately instructed Wu Siyuan to send a distress signal to the other ship via the intercom system.

Wu Siyuan shouted into the intercom in fluent English: "Help! Help! This is ARG7717. Our boat has lost power, is damaged, taking on water and about to sink. Requesting assistance from JRC5990!"

At this moment, on the Japanese research vessel with IMO number JRC5990, the duty officer immediately called the captain via radio: "Captain Sato, we have received a distress call from a vessel with IMO number ARG7717. The vessel is about five nautical miles away from us. It has encountered a malfunction and is about to sink. We request instructions."

A deep voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Ignore him, full speed ahead! We don't have time to waste on the Argentine boat. Let them contact the Argentine maritime rescue department!"

The driver on duty blurted out instinctively, "But the other side is about to sink..."

The captain coldly replied, "Baka! So what if we sink? We've traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to get here to carry out the glorious mission of Japanese Antarctic scientific research, not to rescue Argentine fishermen. Their lives are none of our business! Full speed ahead!"

The driver on duty had no choice but to respectfully reply, "Yes, Captain Sato! I understand!"

Inside the fishing boat, Wu Siyuan watched as the enemy on the radar grew farther and farther away, and its speed increased. His face darkened as he said, "Damn it, instead of coming to rescue us, this Japanese research vessel is speeding up and taking a detour!"

"Damn it!" Wu Bolin cursed angrily, "Didn't you say that people are becoming more and more friendly these days? And that there's this international humanitarian spirit, how can there still be people who refuse to help those in distress?! What kind of humanitarianism is this?"

Wu Siyuan was also very frustrated.

He was the one who gave Wu Bolin this idea, because he thought that since Wu Bolin could use his spiritual energy to control other people's minds, as long as he could lure the Japanese research ship over, he could leave the rest to him. But who would have thought that the Japanese ship would not only not come, but would instead speed up its escape, which was too unethical.

Helpless, he said with shame, "I'm sorry, Elder, I overestimated their character. Why don't we wait a little longer? There's another research vessel leaving tonight, it's from Canada."

Wu Bolin also lost his temper, gritting his teeth and saying, "No way! I can't swallow this! Go full speed ahead and catch up with it!"

Seeing Wu Bolin's resolute attitude, Wu Siyuan swallowed his words of persuasion and turned to the boatman, saying, "Speed ​​up and catch up!"

Wu Siyuan's fishing boat is not as simple as it looks on the surface. Its hull and power system have been greatly upgraded. If it really picks up speed, it can easily catch up with a 10,000-ton ship.

So the fishing boat immediately sped up and chased after the Japanese research vessel.

When they were less than a kilometer away from the research vessel, Wu Bolin looked at the stern of the ship and felt the impact of its wake on the fishing boat. He said to Wu Siyuan, "Alright, you guys go back. I'll board the ship myself."

Wu Siyuan quickly said, "Elder, this ship is full of Japanese people. You don't speak Japanese or English, so I'm afraid you won't be able to communicate!"

Wu Bolin snorted coldly and said, "I don't believe that a whole ship full of so-called Japanese scientific research experts can't find a single one who can speak Chinese. If they really can't, I'll sink their ship and wait for the Canadian ship!"

Wu Siyuan asked, "Elder, should we wait here first?"

“That works,” Wu Bolin said. “You can stay far away and hang there. If you find that the ship has sunk within an hour, you can come closer to pick me up. If the ship hasn’t sunk, it means I’ve found someone who speaks Chinese, and you can go back.”

Wu Siyuan nodded and said, "Yes, Elder, I obey!"

Wu Bolin gently smoothed his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, lightly touched the deck with his toes, and was already airborne.

Just as he was about to land on the water, he gathered his spiritual energy under his feet, creating an invisible barrier between his feet and the sea surface. Then, his body moved across the sea with incredible speed and silence, far faster than a ship could travel.

As he rushed towards the research vessel, he lightly tapped his toes again, and he was already airborne, rising nearly a hundred meters high. In a parabolic arc, he landed directly in front of the Japanese research vessel's cockpit.

The crew did not notice anything unusual at the time. Since the fishing boat was following them but not getting too close, it did not trigger any radar alarms.

The on-duty driver was only thinking about getting into the Roaring Forties as soon as possible before the next storm hit, so as to avoid increasing the risk when the storm came. Therefore, he focused all his attention on the course ahead. In addition, there had never been any pirates in this area, so he had no sense of vigilance at all.

Just as he and his crew were steering the ship at full speed, they were completely unaware that a figure had appeared on the top of the ship outside the control room.

Just as everyone was busy with their own tasks, the door to the control room was suddenly opened, and a figure stood at the door with a cold and somewhat ferocious expression.

The crew in the control room were startled by the sudden appearance of the stranger.

The ship departed from Japan more than a month ago. Some of the crew members were crew members, and some were members of the scientific expedition team. Although these two groups did not know each other before, they had become familiar with each other over the past month. It was unlikely that a complete stranger would suddenly appear.

But on this vast ocean, who else could be there besides the people on their own ship?

The driver instinctively asked in Japanese, "Anada..."

Before the Japanese man could finish speaking, Wu Bolin scanned the crowd with a sharp gaze and said coldly, "Who can speak Chinese? Come out and speak!"

As soon as he said that, the eyes of the dozen or so people present were momentarily stunned.

For Wu Bolin, calming these people down was just a matter of a single thought.

However, calming others down does not mean controlling them. Only those who can understand his commands will obey him and be controlled by him. Those who cannot understand his commands are now as if they have lost consciousness and can only stand still.

Soon, a young man stepped out from among those who had been restrained. He took a few steps forward, stood in front of Wu Bolin, and said in fluent Chinese, "I can speak Chinese. I studied at a university in China."

Wu Bolin nodded in satisfaction and asked him, "What's your name?"

The other person respectfully replied, "My name is Matsushita Heikichi."

Wu Bolin waved his hand dismissively: "What Matsushita and Matsushita? From now on, you're a lackey. Do whatever I tell you to do, and address me as 'this humble one,' understand?"

Matsushita Heikichi immediately replied with utmost devotion, "I obey your command."

Wu Bolin grunted and asked him, "Hey you lackey, how many people are on your ship in total?"

Matsushita Heikichi said, "There are 26 crew members on board, as well as 22 members of the scientific expedition team."

Wu Bolin frowned and asked, "I just had someone shout for help from the fishing boat, why didn't you help?"

Matsushita Heikichi quickly replied, "It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but the captain ordered us to go full speed ahead, and I had no choice but to comply."

“Captain…” Wu Bolin snorted coldly, then opened his right hand, and powerful spiritual energy spread from his palm, invisibly surrounding the entire research vessel.

In that instant, he completely captivated the attention of everyone on the ship.

Then, he looked at Matsushita Heikichi and said coldly, "Now you can shout in Japanese and make everyone on the ship obey your orders and follow your lead!"

Matsushita Heikichi immediately complied, picked up the microphone on the walkie-talkie, switched the channel to shipwide broadcast, and rattled off a string of words in Japanese, the gist of which was that everyone must strictly obey his orders from now on.

After he finished speaking, Wu Bolin added, "Tell everyone to carry out their work as usual, and to maintain contact with the outside world as usual, without revealing any clues."

These people were like robots waiting for orders, just waiting for a command to be given, and then instinctively obeying. So when Matsushita Heikichi gave them the command in Japanese, everyone immediately threw themselves into their original work, as if nothing had happened. However, once Matsushita Heikichi gave the command, they would do their best to carry it out.

Matsushita Heikichi only obeys Wu Bolin's orders, so Wu Bolin can control everyone at will by simply using Matsushita Heikichi's Chinese and Japanese language skills.

Immediately afterwards, he said to Matsushita Heikichi, "Lackey, use the walkie-talkie to call your captain over here!"

Matsushita Heikichi bowed respectfully, then immediately picked up his microphone and gave orders to the captain.

Soon, the gray-haired captain rushed over.

Upon seeing him enter, Matsushita Heikichi said to Wu Bolin, "This is our captain."

Wu Bolin stared at him with piercing eyes, initially wanting to smash him to dust with one blow, but then he thought that since this guy was the captain, his professional skills must be up to par, and he would need these people to do things for him in the future, so he couldn't kill the most senior and experienced captain.

However, thinking about how that bastard had just "failed to save me," Wu Bolin still felt a bit resentful. So he coldly said to Matsushita Heikichi, "Tell that bastard to take off his clothes and stand at the bow of the ship as punishment!"
