Chapter 1369 Going North

Xiao Peng finally managed to get rid of the reporters' questioning and returned to the hotel.

He complained and grumbled in front of the media, describing the various difficulties he encountered at sea: equipment failure, crew fatigue, bad weather... But he also said: He will work hard and do his best to help the Dutch people find the Barents shipwreck!

Some reporters also raised doubts: People found traces of the life of Barents and his crew on Bear Island at the northern end of the Barents Sea, so why are you looking for them at the southern end of the Barents Sea?

Xiao Peng gave a reasonable explanation for this: First, the northern end of the Barents Sea is sparsely populated and inconvenient for supply, and it would be difficult to deal with any emergency; in addition, there are too many floating ice there in the current weather, which could easily cause danger; and according to records, it took a long time for the Barents fleet to reach Bear Island after it separated from the other two ships. Although there is no record of the Barents fleet being separated there, judging from the time, it is very likely that it was at the southern end of the Barents Sea.

However, since no discoveries were made at the southern end of the Barents Sea, Xiao Peng decided to try his luck at the northern end of the Barents Sea in the future.

"Is this your purpose?" Anna entered Xiao Peng's room in her pajamas.

Xiao Peng jumped up from the bed: "Anna, what are you doing? We are not on the boat, why did you come here like this? Aren't you afraid of what the reporters will say?"

Anna said calmly, "They've said a lot. There are all sorts of versions of our story now. Just now, Del called me and asked in detail about how we got intimate."

"What a pervert!" Xiao Peng said angrily, "Then how did you answer him?"

"Answer truthfully. The more detailed my answers are, the more excited he becomes and the more he loves me," Anna replied.

Xiao Peng was completely speechless.

"No, I want to go to the bar downstairs!" Xiao Peng stood up and said, "He is a pervert, but I am not!"

As he spoke, he took his clothes and prepared to go out.

Anna didn't stop him, but said, "What? Are you trying to avoid my question?"

"What's the problem?" Xiao Peng asked, holding a thin coat.

Anna said, "My question is: Is this your goal now? To go to the northern part of the Barents Sea."

Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you mean."

Anna shook her head and said, "Xiao, you are not very good at lying."

"You're crazy!" Xiao Peng put on his coat and prepared to leave the room: "Remember to close the door when you leave!"

Anna grabbed him and said, "Want to go to the bar? Sure, pay your taxes first!"

"Fuck! Are you a juicer? Woohoo!"

By the time Xiao Peng arrived at the bar, there were already quite a few people there, most of them were crew members on the ship.

"Boss!" Everyone greeted Xiao Peng when they saw him come in.

Xiao Peng waved at them, but Khedira came over with a tissue and whispered, "Boss, wipe it off!"

"What are you wiping?" Xiao Peng was stunned.

"The lipstick marks on your face." Khedira said.

Xiao Peng quickly took the tissue and wiped his mouth.

Ka Xin smiled and said, “Boss, others come here to eat, why are you here when you are full?”

Xiao Peng raised his middle finger: "Is it because Walter is gone that no one cares about you? You are so arrogant now!"

Now that a rotation system has been implemented, Walter and Bruch have returned to Germany to be with their families.

Kasin was not nervous either, but picked up the glass: "Vodka gives me strength!"

Xiao Peng burst into laughter.

Kasin shouted, "Friends, let's raise our glasses and toast our boss!"

Khedira tactfully brought Xiao Peng a glass of wine.

Xiao Peng took the wine glass, and everyone raised their glasses to Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng picked up his wine glass and shouted, "What's our slogan?"

“Work hard! Relax hard!”

"Are you tired of working with me?" Xiao Peng continued to shout.

“Not tired at all!”

Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay, everyone, prepare yourself. We're going deep into the Arctic!"

The bar suddenly became quiet.

Xiao Peng thought they had quieted down because they were a little disappointed that they knew they had to go to work, but suddenly a deafening cheer rang out in the bar: "Hurrah!"

"Ura?" Xiao Peng blinked. How come he even shouted 'Ura'?

Hua Chong held up his wine glass and said, "Boss, we've been waiting for a long time! We're all bored anyway, why don't we go somewhere new and broaden our horizons!"

"Can you see polar bears?"

"Are there whales?"

"I promised my daughter a long time ago that I would catch her a penguin as a gift!"

"You're an idiot! We're in the Arctic! Penguins only live in Antarctica!"

"Boss, when are we going to Antarctica?"

Xiao Peng laughed in anger: "Are you treating our ship as a polar tour ship now? Okay, prepare yourself mentally. Now everyone, relax and have a good rest. The next few days won't be so comfortable! Come on, everyone, cheers!"

"cheers!"

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Okay, everyone, go play."

Kaxin came over and asked, "Boss, do we need to notify the boss and the others to come back?"

Xiao Peng shook his head. "It's okay. We're just going to take a look around. They keep saying we're not serious about salvaging, right? So, let's run away and shut them up. How would they know what we're doing at sea?"

Hua Chong nodded: "Boss, I know what to do!"

Kasin came over at this time and said, "Boss, do you want to place a bet?"

"Bet? What for?" Xiao Peng was stunned.

Kasin said, "The entertainment in the bar, women's mud wrestling, is guaranteed to be a feast for the eyes!"

Xiao Peng coughed twice and said, "You guys really know how to have fun! How can I place a bet when I don't know anyone?"

Kashin pointed at the bar counter. "No, those two girls standing there in bikinis. The most they'll bet is ten thousand rubles. Just for fun! Who do you choose?"

Xiao Peng took out the money and stuffed it into Walter’s pocket: “The one in red!”

"Why?" Walter said with wide eyes, "That girl is much smaller than her opponent! She'll be stripped naked in a matter of minutes!"

Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Of course I know. But she has big breasts!"

“…”Everyone’s face was filled with black lines.

Xiao Peng said: "Okay, you guys can play here, I'm going back to sleep!"

"Ah?" Kasim looked puzzled: "Didn't you just sleep?"

Xiao Peng: "...You talk a lot of bullshit."

"Okay, boss, why do you want to go back? Come and have a couple of drinks with us." Kasim said.

Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "I can't drink more than you. I've been reflecting on why I have such poor self-control and why I tend to get drunk and have sex for no reason! Finally, I came to the conclusion that if I just drank less, this wouldn't happen!"

As soon as Xiao Peng finished speaking, he saw a group of women holding wine glasses surrounding him.

You don't drink? If you don't drink, how can we stand a chance?
