Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 1083 Inventorying Supplies and Returning Home

Prying open a box, we found six white plastic buckets inside.

"This...could it be fresh water?" pilot Liu Jun guessed.

Pilot Wang Chao said, "Why don't we just open a bucket and taste it? I'll do it!"

After saying that, he twisted open the lid of a plastic bucket with both hands. Inside, there was a sealing foil. He pierced the sealing foil with a dagger, dipped the dagger into the bucket, dipped it in some liquid, and then stuck out his tongue to lick the dagger.

His expression immediately turned to surprise: "Water, it's fresh water, it's fresh water!"

Pilot Zhao Gongping said calmly, "Of course it's water. Look, it says so on the label on the plastic bucket!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chao tilted his head and looked at the spot Zhao Gongping was pointing to. Sure enough, there was a label on the bucket that said "fresh water." He immediately cursed, "Why didn't you say so sooner? Honestly!"

"Stop dawdling and open it now, we're dying of thirst!" Liu Jun urged impatiently.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Wang Chao said, immediately tearing off the sealed aluminum foil, then holding the plastic bucket and chugging water into his mouth, drinking it down until his stomach was full before reluctantly putting it down.

"Give it to me!" Liu Jun immediately took the plastic bucket and started drinking water himself.

There was nothing I could do; the temperature was very high, and the sunlight was too intense. I hadn't drunk any water all morning, and I was extremely thirsty.

After Liu Jun had filled his stomach, Zhao Gongping took over and continued to fill it. After a few minutes of work, the three of them were finally quenched and collapsed on the iron-hulled boat, panting.

After resting for a few minutes, the three of them started unpacking the other boxes.

The second box was opened, and inside were cookies, all in sealed packaging, enough for three people to eat for a week.

"Great! With these cookies, as long as we store them properly, we won't have to worry about food for the next week," Wang Chao said happily. After he finished speaking, he quickly tore open a cookie package, stuffed a cookie into his mouth, and crunched it loudly.

When the third box was opened, all that was taken out were tin cans.

"It's canned food! Canned beef, canned pork, canned sardines, oysters, pickles, green beans—we have all of these. With these canned meats and vegetables, we can ensure we get enough nutrition!" Zhao Gongping said, rummaging through the cans in the alley.

After opening the fourth box, there was a large iron barrel inside.

“This is diesel!” Liu Jun said. He turned to look at the engine and propeller control stick at the stern of the ship behind him and said to the other two, “It seems that the higher-ups can’t send a ship to pick us up, so they airdropped this steel-hulled motorboat and diesel. They probably want us to sail back ourselves!”

"We are currently about 1300 kilometers away from the port. This large barrel of diesel should be enough fuel. As long as the ship's engine doesn't break down, we can sail this ship back to the port!"

At this moment, Zhao Gongping was somewhat worried: "Although we now have enough food, fresh water, and fuel, our boats are too small. These boats can only sail on the river. On the open sea, if the wind and waves are even slightly strong, these boats may capsize!"

"Furthermore, we lack nautical charts and navigation tools. If we sail in the wrong direction, we could easily end up going in the opposite direction!"

Liu Jun pointed to the remaining wooden crates and said, "There are two more wooden crates. Let's open them and see what we find!"

"Okay, let's open the rest of the boxes and take a look first!" Zhao Gongping nodded and said.

The three of them opened one of the remaining two boxes, which contained three sets of thick clothing in sealed packaging, as well as an inflatable life ring.

Seeing these supplies, the three felt more confident. If the higher-ups had even considered this, they would surely consider even more comprehensive options, right?

When they opened the last box, they found a compass, a nautical chart, a sextant, three AK rifles and their accompanying magazines, bullets, a windproof lantern, a lighter, and other supplies sealed in waterproof material, which put their minds at ease.

"Ah Chao, Xiao Zhao, we have plenty of supplies. The higher-ups have thought things through for us. Now let's move all these supplies to the cabin for safekeeping. It's not safe to leave them here. If a big wave comes and the ship pitches, these things will slip into the sea and be difficult to retrieve!" Liu Jun said to the two of them.

Zhao Gongping nodded and said, "You're right, these are our life-saving supplies, we can't afford any mistakes. Let's get started!"

With the three of them working together, all the airdropped supplies were moved into the ship's hold. The ship was not very big, and after all the supplies were moved in, the hold was no longer able to hold anything else, so they had to stay outside.

"What should we do with these wooden crates, parachutes, and ropes? It's such a waste to throw them away," Wang Chao asked, pointing to the wooden crates and other items containing supplies.

Liu Jun said, "Keep them. Use parachute ropes to tie them to the hull. These wooden boxes can be used to block the wind and rain, and when we need to rest, we can hide inside them to lie down and rest. We can also use the wood to start a fire for warmth!"

"Parachutes are also useful. We can set them up to block the sun and rain. If it rains on the way back, the Zhejiang West Parachute can shelter us from the wind and rain, and we can even wear it as a raincoat!"

The three of them worked together, first stacking the empty wooden crates and securing them firmly to the hull with ropes, then covering the crates and the hatch with parachutes to shield them from the sun and rain.

"Tie it tighter, use more rope to bind it, so it doesn't fall apart when the wind and waves blow it away!" Liu Jun said to the other two while working.

More than an hour had passed by the time we finished preparing.

While eating biscuits, canned food, and drinking water, the three of them spread the nautical chart on a wooden box and studied it. With the help of tools such as a compass, sextant, and sun, they quickly determined their direction and their approximate location.

"First, fill the engine fuel tank with diesel fuel, start it and see if it can run!"

The lid of the oil drum was pried open, and a flexible hose was inserted. Wang Chao used his mouth to suck out the diesel fuel from the other end of the hose and quickly inserted it into the engine's fuel tank opening.

A few minutes later, the fuel tank was full, the three of them packed up, and Zhao Gongping picked up the crank handle and tried to start the diesel engine.

"Thump, thump, thump..." The diesel engine started smoothly, black smoke billowing from the chimney, and the roar filled the three men with hope.

"Brothers, everything is ready. Let's set off home!" Liu Jun shouted.

Wang Chao held the control lever and went underwater, pushed the switch, and the propeller spun at high speed, propelling the water flow. The boat moved and began to accelerate, with a large amount of foam spraying out from the stern.
