Chapter 260        Aircraft Carrier

“You’re f*cking kidding me!”

Zhou Qingfeng frowned and went to see the guy who said he could get a warship. He was not in a good mood. Before this, he fought with the pirate, Santos and both sides had to bear a huge loss. He did not get Nassau but he managed to occupy a place in the Bahamas.

After that battle, the so-called ‘GOD’ sent Zhou Qingfeng a message - ‘one month until the nuclear war’. Knowing there was another bigger disaster coming, Zhou Qingfeng could not be bothered about Santos even though he was dangerous. He immediately worked together with Lena Fox and gathered all the people and resources.

At the moment, there were only two weeks left until the nuclear war. Meanwhile, this middle-aged man, East, suddenly came out and said he would be able to get a warship. Zhou Qingfeng was so excited. Before this, Santos’ frigate was big trouble for him even though it was just an old and rusty warship. Zhou Qingfeng would be satisfied even if East could get him a little gunboat.

“What kind of warship?”

“A big one.”

“Does it weigh more than a thousand tons?”

“It’s bigger than that.”

“More than five thousand tons?”

“Even bigger.”

“Ten thousand??”

“Bigger than that!”

“You’re telling me, it weighs more than a hundred thousand tons???”

“That’s right.”

“You’re kidding me, that’d be an aircraft carrier!”

“Indeed, you’re right. It is an aircraft carrier!”

“No way, you’re f*cking kidding me!”

Both of them stared at each other and Zhou Qingfeng felt like he was being fooled. He thought it was impossible. You know, it’s an aircraft carrier!

However, East continued with a serious facial expression, “I’m Fenot East, from the U.S. Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba. I was a mechanical maintenance worker and civilian employee.”

“Around three months ago, the soldiers in the prison disappeared all of a sudden. Thousands of non-military workers in the detention camp were attacked by the Cubans. There wasn’t any backup and we were forced to join a local warlord named Federo in Cuba.”

“Life under Federo was terrible, Federo’s men hated us. They expelled us from the Guantanamo military base and refused to give us supplies. We had no choice but to live in the forest.”

“But when we were looking for food, we found the Ford Class II USS CVN-79 Kennedy. It was hiding in a fjord near the Guantanamo military base. You can’t see it unless you went into the fjord. The Cubans had no idea there was an aircraft carrier right behind them.”

“This aircraft carrier was traveling from Panama Canal and while they were entering the Caribbean, the soldiers on the carrier disappeared. Without control, this aircraft carrier continued to travel and finally crashed into the fjord. Around a hundred non-military employees survived.”

“Mr. Hugo, if you can help us get out of Cuba, we can help you get that aircraft carrier.”

“You’re kidding me.”

After Zhou Qingfeng heard what East said, he was not excited at all, “A hundred thousand tons aircraft carrier stuck and stranded, without professional people and equipment; it can never be back to the sea again. And the level of damage is still unknown, it might sink right away after we put it back to sea.”

“Even if we could get it back to sea and it could still float, do you know how many people an aircraft carrier would need? We’d need around two thousand professionally-trained soldiers in order to control that huge aircraft carrier. If I have two thousand professionally-trained soldiers, do you think I’d be stuck in this small island?”

“The last thing is, the route from here to the Guantanamo is controlled by a bunch of pirates. I must be crazy if I’m willing to get that ship! And I can’t save thousands of your people.”

Zhou Qingfeng rejected East’s suggestion. East was so disappointed he started to cry out loud, “Mr. Hugo, there are three thousand people stuck in the forest in Cuba. Their lives are in danger every single moment. For God’s sake, please help us.”

“I don’t believe in God,” Zhou Qingfeng mumbled without a care in the world.

Lena Fox, who stood next to Zhou Qingfeng tried to calm East down and turned to Zhou Qingfeng, “Is there no other way? The chance of getting an aircraft carrier is really rare. Even if we don’t need it now, we might need it in the future.”

“Alright, say we get that aircraft carrier. What are we going to do about it? It’s indeed good and advanced but which of us knows how to drive an aircraft carrier? Which of us could drive the fighter aircraft? Which of us would be able to get the huge amount of fuel and get the ship running?” All Zhou Qingfeng wanted was just a normal gunboat; it would be much more handy and practical.

“You can solve all these problems.” Lena came closer to Zhou Qingfeng and whispered in his ear, “Other people might not be able to solve all these problems, but you’re special, you’re different.”

Lena Fox did not usually praise people but she was really good at it. Zhou Qingfeng blushed and was going to say that he was not special. However, his confidence was boosted a little when he saw Lena smile and stare at him.

Lena continued, “Three thousand of East’s friends used to work for the U.S. military, I’m pretty sure they are considered high-quality personnel. It’d be such a waste to leave them at the forest. Even if we can’t get the aircraft carrier, at least we could get those useful people!”

“So now, unrestrict your mind, unleash your power and imagination, like the way you hit yourself with a nuclear bomb. I believe you can do it!”
