  ument.write(

  From the coast to "Dead Man's Island" even a fast boat takes more than a whole day. The people are often transported by naval landing craft.

  Due to the high confidentiality, the selected soldiers were absolutely loyal and dedicated, the troops had strict discipline, and the landing craft was a special warship specifically responsible for transporting prisoners. From the captain to the soldiers, they also enjoyed special treatment. However, this special treatment was also obtained at the cost of sacrificing freedom, people who did such work could not contact anyone outside, you became a prisoner, a prisoner in military uniform, but for the peace of the motherland, no soldier had any complaints.

  Feng Aijun is the most special soldier among this group of special soldiers.

  The prisoner was escorted onto the ship in the dead of night, the dock was quiet and deserted, the lights were dim, and there was no sign of anyone. The sky had been overcast for days, the moon hid behind clouds, and you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

  A prison van sped to the dock and stopped. Tianlong and his group had bags over their heads, only their nostrils exposed for breathing, tied up with ropes, linked together by iron chains, each person supported by two soldiers. They were dragged off the van without stopping and taken straight onto the ship, locked in the hold. The hold was designed as a permanent prison cell, entering the cell they took off their hoods, untied the ropes and chains, inside the hold there were also rows of bunks that could sleep over ten people, the space was much more spacious than the cells on land, but you couldn't see the sky.

  The ship set sail immediately after loading the prisoners, not a moment was delayed. When these prisoners woke up from their sleep and were still dizzy, the landing boat was already tossing forward in the vast ocean, with nothing but water around them, even the air was salty. The wind and waves on the sea surface were very strong, and more than half of the prisoners felt sick and vomited, lying on the bed and not wanting to move.

  Ying Tianlong closed his eyes to rest, the lunch was quite rich, two dishes and a soup, with fish and meat, each person also received a small bottle of Beijing Erguotou. The soldiers knew this was their most luxurious lunch, once they arrived at "Island of Death", forget about eating such food, unless you can fight, be lucky to survive, become the master of the island, then there's wine and meat, even women, otherwise, starve to death.

  If they knew it was the last and also a sumptuous lunch, those nauseous prisoners who couldn't eat would not let go of it even if they were beaten to death. But at this moment, they still don't know where they are going, anyway, as long as the government is in charge, they won't starve to death.

  There were also those who understood, Wang Qing was very clear, he wouldn't get seasick, he often came and went on the sea, had seen all kinds of strong winds and big waves, but had never seen such a naval ship, such a heavily guarded bottom cabin.

  It's over, this was his first thought after waking up.

  The food last night must have been drugged, after eating it I felt very sleepy, my eyelids couldn't open, and I fell asleep in a daze. In a daze, I felt myself being carried up and dragged into the car, then everything was unclear.

  The tossing boat body just knew it was sailing on the sea now. The sound of the water at the bottom of the boat was really loud and clear.

  It seems there really is a "Deadly Island", and now I'm definitely heading towards that place of death.

  Wang Qing looked around, his companions seemed to be still in a daze, numb and senseless. Wang Qing cursed under his breath: "Damn it, you pigs, now you're sleeping, later you'll cry but it will be too late."

  He crawled up beside Ying Tianlong and said: "Brother, it seems we really are going somewhere."

  Ying Tianlong said I had a hunch early on. In fact, when I was dragged onto the boat, I woke up, but my body went limp and there was nothing I could do about it.

  "What should I do next?"

  "Wait, there is no other way but to wait." Tian Long replied.

  "It's time to make things clear to our brothers, and it's also good for them to have a mental preparation."

  Ying Tianlong said: "I had already given them a preventive shot beforehand, and Wang Xiaofeng also knew that there was such a place. One person for private purposes, two people for public purposes. He affirmed it like this, and those who didn't believe it before were now half-believing, half-doubting. They all said that if they really fell into trouble in any place, they would stick together through thick and thin, sharing life and death. But that Yin Tao still didn't believe it, and couldn't be persuaded."

  Wang Qing said: "It's not entirely like that. I've had a heart-to-heart with him, and he said that if it's really as I said, then he has nothing to say and will work together with us."

  "That's good," Ying Tianlong stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Wang Qing's hand, saying: "Old predecessor, the bridges you've crossed are more numerous than the roads I've traveled, so please give me more guidance."

  Wang Qing said: "Don't worry, at this time, if we don't unite and let others defeat us one by one, it's better to die than to live."

  Two men were discussing what to do first after getting off the boat, when the prisoners came to their senses, one by one struggling to get up, looking at each other and asking, where are we? Why is the ground shaking beneath our feet? Is this the sea? Only the sea would shake like this. Only the sea could produce such a huge roar.

  The sea, the sea, we are sailing on the sea, where is the ship heading to? Is it the legendary land of death? Some people sat down with a thud and stared blankly, some knelt down and prayed, while others were numb and lay back down.

  There were also some who came more soberly to sit beside Tianlong and asked, "Boss, where are we going?"

  Ying Tianlong said: "I'm not very clear either, but brothers remember, no matter where we go, don't forget my words. Only if we all work together as one, think with one mind and use our strength together, the hope of survival will be greater. Otherwise, even if you die, there won't be anyone to bury you."

  Choi Dae-hong said, "The boss is right, a handful of loose sand won't do, unity is strength. From now on we must be bound together in life and death, sharing honor and shame, whoever dares to betray us from within, I'll be the first to strangle him."

  Choi Dae-hong said this with his eyes blazing red, like a wild wolf ready to pounce.

  Wang Xiaofeng continued to say: "It seems that the situation is not good, I said earlier that there is a 'life-taking island' in this place, it's not an exaggeration, if we really go there, life and death are destined, wealth and honor are in heaven, but we can't give up, let's fight to the death."

  "Right, right, right, go all out." Everyone agreed.

  "What are you risking your lives for? You have only one life, is it enough to risk? Only by following the command of our elected leader and acting accordingly can you survive. Acting alone is suicidal, do you understand?"

  Only Yin Tao disagreed, saying "What are you guys talking nonsense about? You're scaring yourselves. I dare to swear that there's no such place. We were just transferred to another prison, that's all."

  Wang Qing said: "It should be past two o'clock in the afternoon now, and it will soon be clear. Let's just wait and see."

  The cabin door was suddenly opened and sunlight poured in, bringing a breath of life to the cabin.

  Someone upstairs shouted: "Get up quickly, we're almost there."

  Ying Tianlong and Wang Qing stood up steadily, walked slowly up the iron ladder, came to the boat, raised their heads and looked out, still a vast expanse of endless sea. Looking further away, you can vaguely see the hazy islands.

  It seems that this is probably "Island of Death".

  All the prisoners came up, stood in a row and gazed out at the sea, also gazing at the distant islands. One by one, their faces were pale, unsure if it was due to seasickness or being frightened by the legend. Can legends become reality? Those who still had a glimmer of hope silently prayed, Heaven, please don't play this kind of joke on us, although our crimes are unforgivable, we haven't committed a capital offense yet, if we can get through today, when we go back, we will definitely reform and start anew.

  It's too late now.

  The boat slowly approached the island, and when people clearly saw on the cliff of the island three big characters written in bright red color "Life-taking Island", someone suddenly fainted.

  Wang Qing's face turned ferocious and terrifying, while Yin Tao became pale and colorless. Cui Dahong and Wang Xiaofeng involuntarily hugged each other tightly, and all those who had not fallen yet stared blankly at the island, regretting now that it was too late.

  Ying Tianlong excitedly looked at "Doomsday Island", his heart calling out: "Doomsday Island, I've come! No matter if it's a dragon's lair or a human hell, for the country's top secret, I'll turn myself into a steel knife to slay dragons and tigers, to turn the world upside down. A soldier must have this fearless spirit."

  I have arrived, carrying the hope of our motherland, carrying the entrustment of the people, carrying a heart of loyalty and dedication, carrying all my strength. Please rest assured, I will complete the task.

  It's not just him, Feng Aijun standing at the bow of the ship was also extremely excited, he looked at Ying Tianlong for a long time, feeling proud to have such an outstanding comrade.

  "Island of Death", originally known as Shark Island, is a relatively large island in the South China Sea, with a rhombic shape, approximately 18,000 meters long and 2,000 meters wide. The area is about 3.6 square kilometers. The average height above sea level is more than 3 meters. The central part of the island is low-lying, while the edges are raised, forming a coral reef composed of shells and sand. The climate is summer all year round, with little annual temperature difference, an average annual temperature of 27°C, and an average temperature of 24°C in the coldest month. The annual rainfall is over 1,000 mm. Due to its proximity to the equator, "Island of Death" has good soil quality and freshwater resources, and is covered with dense tropical vegetation such as coconut groves, papaya trees, banana trees, etc. The island is narrow and long from east to west, with a low-lying terrain, belonging to a tropical oceanic climate.
