I just want to find a job, and then become a Navy Admiral.

Chapter 151 Encountering Trash in the Navy

[November 20th, 1536 in the Haiyuan Calendar]

Today is my fourth day working as a headhunter.

Although it was supposed to be a vacation, I still had to work as a headhunter, so it wasn't appropriate for me to go to fun places. Therefore, I decided to return to Donghai alone.

They encountered a merchant ship at sea and boarded it.

Tashigi said she met up with the warship that came to pick her up, and the hostages were successfully handed over and sent home.

[November 23, 1536 (Haiyuan Calendar)]

Today is my seventh day working as a headhunter.

Because it wasn't on the same route, it flew away from the merchant ship.

Mr. Kakei contacted me and said that he would also be staying at the G5 branch, and told me to take a good vacation. He also said that he knew someone who was very good at raising cattle and sheep and would help me contact people to buy cattle and sheep.

[November 26th, 1536 in the Haiyuan Calendar]

Since I had absolutely no idea where to find talent, I contacted Professor Zefa.

He said he could just wander around aimlessly and didn't need to actually look for it.

I passed through a small village today and got my hair cut.

Snapped!

Su An landed on a small island port that looked quite large but had no ships.

Su An looked much more refreshed after getting a haircut, although she remained expressionless and aloof as always.

He was dressed in a dark suit and had no other luggage.

Walking along the harbor, Su An noticed a lot of sawdust on the shore, as well as some small boat wreckage.

However, when you look as far as the eye can see, there are many large pits on the beach and the flat ground in front of the town.

Some were blown open, while others were completely dented, as if a battle had taken place.

In particular, in a large pit, Su An saw the presence of a huge iron ball.

Su An looked at the large craters and then at the naval base under construction on a small island not far away. It is worth mentioning that there is a towering pillar inside the base that looks like a chimney.

As you enter the town, there is a huge mining statue, but the other half of the statue looks like it has been damaged, and a corner of the small building next to the statue is also missing, as if it has been pierced by something.

Pedestrians were moving about on the street one after another, but everyone kept their heads down and moved quickly.

Some children on the street would immediately hide when they saw Su An.

Even some adults would hurriedly close the windows when they saw Su An at home, as if they were afraid of making eye contact with him.

The atmosphere in the whole town was eerie and strange.

However, Su An didn't pay too much attention to these things. He just walked around the town, looking left and right to see if there were any restaurants or similar places.

Su An's vacation can be described as a spontaneous trip.

That day, after learning that he was to become a headhunter, he explained the ranch and farmland matters to Smoker and the others, and then tore off his blueprints and gave them to them.

Su An then left directly.

It's not that Su An was in a hurry.

It's purely out of interest.

Moreover, Su An felt quite comfortable during this period, flying around and stopping frequently. When he encountered a merchant ship, he would disembark and hitch a ride, and when he encountered a pirate ship, he would play for a while.

If you encounter nothing, you can spend the night on a small island you pass by. You might even be attacked by wild animals, but these are not major problems.

My only regret is that I forgot to bring my backpack, so I didn't prepare enough.

The small village we passed through earlier wasn't very big, and there wasn't much we wanted.

So when Su An saw this small island, he thought about buying some daily necessities on the island and changing his clothes there.

However, Su An's immediate thought was to fill his stomach first.

There weren't many shops open in the town, and many were closed.

Fortunately, Su An spotted a restaurant that was open for business.

Jingle bell~~

As Su An pushed open the door, the bell on the door rang crisply and melodiously.

However, this also caused the few customers in the store to all turn their attention to Su An.

At the bar was a woman with long blonde hair dressed in blue. She looked at Su An walking straight towards her with some surprise, as she hadn't seen a stranger in a long time.

Until Su An said, "Excuse me, could I have the menu?"

The woman then came to her senses and quickly nodded, taking out a menu from under the bar to hand to Su An.

"This specialty dish..." Su An pointed to a large pot of food on the menu that looked delicious, "and this vegetarian dish over here."

The proprietress quickly said, "I'm sorry, we only have fried noodles and fried rice available right now. These other dishes... are temporarily unavailable due to ingredient shortages."

The proprietress explained somewhat awkwardly, "Because there were strangers around, I was a little surprised and forgot for a moment, so I gave you the menu instead."

Su An closed the menu: "I'll have a plate of fried noodles then."

The proprietress immediately nodded.

When Su An was putting down the menu, she noticed a little girl with a missing front tooth peeking at her from the side of the bar, only her head peeking out.

Perhaps realizing she had been discovered, the little girl immediately pulled her head back.

Su An didn't pay any attention.

An elderly man with a bulbous nose and wearing a miner's helmet walked up to Su An: "Outsider."

The old man's expression was stern as he stared intently at Su An: "A young man your age shouldn't be on this island. Get out of here!! Even if you want to hide in the mountains, don't come to town!"

The old man practically roared as he finished speaking.

"Mayor, what are you doing..." A woman with short purple hair stepped forward and pulled the old man away.

Then he looked at Su An and said apologetically, "The mayor meant no harm, I'm sorry."

The town mayor ignored the short-haired woman and looked at Su An instead: "You still have time to leave! If you're too late and get caught, don't blame me for not warning you! Humph!"

After saying that, the old man turned and walked towards the restaurant door.

The short-haired woman bowed apologetically to Su An and then hurriedly chased after him.

Su An pushed up his glasses with his index finger, noticing out of the corner of his eye that the elderly women in the restaurant were also lowering their heads.

The little girl who had been peeping at him hid again, but after glancing at the mayor's departing figure, she looked down at the small pickaxe at her waist.

"Arrested?" Su An saw the proprietress carrying a bowl of fried noodles come out.

The proprietress stared at Su An. She had heard the commotion outside. After hesitating for a moment, she smiled helplessly: "Because the navy will arrest people if they see them."

Su An, who was about to eat, looked up at the proprietress upon hearing this: "The navy arrests people arbitrarily?"

The proprietress poured water for Su An, but instead of answering him immediately, she looked around at the other people in the restaurant.

Everyone else, of course, pricked up their ears to listen.

"Hmm." The proprietress sat on the stool and glanced at the girl who was clenching her fists and looking incredulous.

Although she found it strange, she didn't think much of it and continued, "They said they were building a base and didn't have enough manpower. At first, they said they would help out, but it gradually turned into coercion, and even some female miners started to be arrested. This child's parents were both arrested, and they had nowhere else to go, so they came to me."

Su An looked at the girl who was still peeking at him.

I didn't see the girl this time.

But I noticed the girl sitting on the floor with her back against the bar.

The proprietress ignored the girl, glanced at the fried noodles in front of Su An, and said with a wry smile, "If those marines weren't like this, they wouldn't be reduced to only being able to make fried noodles. I used to really aspire to be a marine."

After saying that, the proprietress looked at Su An carefully: "Young man, haven't we met somewhere before? You look..."

"Una!"

Just then, the short-haired woman with purple hair who had apologized to Su An earlier pushed open the door and said urgently, "Hurry to the square! That guy Billich caught Udi and his gang who were trying to tip them off!"

"!"

Upon hearing the name, Una immediately ran out of the restaurant.

Even the girl rushed out in a hurry, but she tripped and fell while running. She called out "Dad!" and tried to get up in a hurry.

Suddenly, she felt herself being picked up.

When she looked up, she saw that it was that handsome stranger who had picked her up.

only...

She also noticed that the stranger was holding... fried noodles in his other hand.

As soon as Su An left the restaurant, he saw many people running towards the central square not far away. From a distance, Su An could see the navy figure, half black and half white, on the huge screen in the square.

"Long time no see, everyone."

On the screen, the naval commander named Billitch grinned and greeted everyone.

"I don't understand why, but someone is trying to rebel against me, even though we're comrades who protect this island together!"

The snake puppet in Billich's hand "spoke," and Billich just looked at the screen with a strange smile, clearly speaking through ventriloquism himself.

"Who said you're my comrade! You damn navy bastards!" the town mayor cursed.

People around immediately stepped in to stop the enraged mayor.

Billy grinned with a sinister smile: "However... since it's happened again, we can only follow the old rules, but this time it needs to be a little more serious."

"Hehehehehe~~~"

As Billich spoke, the snake puppet in his hand emitted a strange smile.

And the screen was also switched.

On the screen, four people were seen tied to an execution platform: two men, one woman, and a little boy. One of the men was even a lieutenant from the Navy Headquarters.

All four of them had resolute expressions, and although you couldn't hear what they were saying, they were shouting loudly.

"Mom and Dad..."

"Udi!"

The little girl next to Su An looked at the man and woman on the screen, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

The proprietress looked even more resentful!

"Hehehehe~~~ Let me introduce my subordinate to everyone first, the man who tried to sabotage the relationship between our navy and the townspeople, Zote! He seems to be in close contact with you townspeople in private."

"Shouting that the navy must protect people... Damn it! Aren't I protecting everyone in the town?! These specially made stone cannonballs were all made by the miners! And I am the user of them."

"As for that child..."

The screen switched again, focusing on the little boy dressed as a miner. "His crime is... attempting to blow up our anti-pirate fortifications, an absolutely heinous crime! To openly defy the World Government and the Navy at such a young age! If you were allowed to grow up, you would be the most vicious criminal ever! So..."

The screen switched back to Bilic.

Bilic's smile was exaggerated, and his two-faced appearance made him look even more terrifying.

"Therefore, I believe there are criminals hiding in this town, just like this child, who are plotting against the World Government and the Navy. I will fire on the town and show you all my determination to eradicate these criminals! Hehehehehe!"

Click-clack~~

Just as Billy finished speaking, the roar of the machine reached the ears of everyone in the square.

Su An turned around to look.

On the chimney of the base, a huge turret slowly rose, and the black cannon adjusted its angle to aim at the town.

The townspeople immediately showed signs of panic.

"Run..." the hot-tempered town mayor roared, "Everyone, run!"

As he spoke, he picked up a manuscript, ran to the entrance of the square, and stared intently at the cannon emplacement, his thin body looking as if he wanted to protect everyone.

"The punishment doesn't end there..."

Bilic's snake puppet spoke, "As punishment for these four people... no, they should be criminals! I will execute them at the same time as I fire the cannon! With the stone bullets you all helped me make, and with you all as witnesses."

Let's work together to protect this island!

Everyone fell silent.

"Damn navy!! Come at me if you dare!" the mayor roared, waving his manuscript.

"Daddy! Mommy!" The little girl's eyes widened and she turned to run towards the naval base.

But after only two steps, someone grabbed his collar.

The girl turned around and saw it was that same person again. She immediately struggled, shouting, "Let go! I want to find my mom and dad!"

Su An handed her over to the landlady, Una.

Una instinctively hugged the little girl, and when she looked up at Su An...

Then he saw Su An hand him the fried noodles as well.

Su An said, "Boss, please take this for me. I'll be right back."

Una: "?"

To her surprise, Una saw the young man take off his glasses.
