Chapter 719: Sea Chart

Chapter 719 Sea Chart

After learning about Big William's condition, "Chen Yan" nodded, and after asking for Big William's address, left No. 17 Walker Street.

Ogami followed closely with Chen Yan.

At about 7 a.m., when the sky was getting brighter and the blizzard was getting a little lighter, "Chen Yan" had arrived at No. 3871 Market Street, Xiacheng District.

After yesterday's riots, the Market Street in Xiacheng District was the first to be partially restored. Most of the people here are small businessmen. They rely on the renovated corner buildings to do some businesses that are defined as low-class in the eyes of most people.

.

Almost half of these businesses have never seen the light of day, and the size of each unit in the other half is so small that a random disturbance could lead to bankruptcy.

The service industry they maintain provides important food security for the entire neighborhood, so after last night's riots, both street police and service industry providers are working hard to restore service supply.

When "Chen Yan" came here, both sides of the street were already quite busy. The factory did not resume work today, and a large number of workers had nowhere to go. A considerable number of people crowded into the street. Although the scene was not chaotic, it was still

It's definitely not what it used to be like when order is still there.

As for Nate Jacob, who is now Mike Rawls, according to what Chen Yan learned in prison, this man should be relatively wealthy. Although he is not a rich man like William, he should not be rich.

As for being reduced to doing business in this kind of neighborhood.

"Chen Yan" quickly found Nate Jacob's store.

It was an agency company with "Rolls Overseas Labor Service" on the banner. The store was on the first floor of a corner building. The office was converted from a basement with the outer wall removed. The ventilation here was obviously not very good, and the air was full of

Low-quality cigarettes, high-concentration alcohol, the smell of urine and farts, the pungent body odors of different ethnic groups, the smell of leather rotting due to moisture... These smells blend together and become the smell of every corner building in Xiacheng District.

special taste.

"Chen Yan" smelled the pungent smell mixed together, and his face was obviously uncomfortable. When Chen Yan saw his expression, he immediately felt the same discomfort as him, because Chen Yan had been to the corner building in Xiacheng District, and he knew that

How bad the smell inside is.

The angle of Ogami's perch is very clever, just above the side of the basement gatehouse of "Rolls Overseas Labor Service". You have to raise your neck and turn your face sideways to see him through the gaps between the messy boxes and stalls on the street.

figure.

From this angle, you can just see "Chen Yan" standing not far in front of the "Rolls Overseas Labor Service" without being noticed by him.

"Chen Yan" looked at the half piece of paper with Nate Jacob's information written on it again. Chen Yan took this opportunity to finally see that according to the information obtained from 17 Walker Street, Nate Jacob was released from prison.

Afterwards, he changed his name and established this intermediary company, which was engaged in the business of exporting human resources to the empire's overseas colonies.

The profits are high and the risks are high.

According to Chen Yan's previous thoughts, he only needed to hand over the cursed necklace containing Bagley's evil spirit to Nate Jacobs, and that would be it.

But "Chen Yan" obviously had more ideas.

What's worse is that when thinking about his current situation, Chen Yan has more thoughts in his head.

"Chen Yan" walked into "Rolls Overseas Labor Service", looked at the middle-aged man sitting at the counter full of recruitment information, and said:

"Hello."

The middle-aged man was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone. He was not surprised when he heard the sudden call of "Chen Yan". He kept his eyes on the mobile phone screen and stretched out his hand to pat the counter.

Chen Yan looked through the dim light and saw dense recruitment information written on the front of the wooden counter from top to bottom——

[Collector at Nash Island Rubber Estate, registration is 3 shillings, boat ticket is 5 shillings, medical examination is reimbursed, hourly salary is 50 pence, food and accommodation are included, minimum visa is 3 years.]

[Liv Island mine, miner, registration is 1 shilling, boat ticket reimbursement, physical examination reimbursement locally, hourly wage 80 pence, food and accommodation included, minimum signing period is 5 years.]

[Sea hunting ground in shallow waters on high ridges, waiters or guide hunters, registration is 10 shillings...]

The name of the work place was written under the counter, and a large chart was posted on the wall to the right of the counter. Chen Yan suddenly discovered that this chart was almost exactly the same as the chart that Chen Changsheng handed to "Chen Yan". The difference was the markings on the map.

Covered with dense data——

Coastline, dry beach, submarine landforms (reefs, shoals, submarine volcanoes, rock peaks, etc.), navigation obstacles (shipwrecks, wooden piles, abandoned derricks, explosives (such as sunken mines, unexploded bombs, etc.), anchors, etc.),

Navigation aid markings (chimneys, radio towers, promontories, rock peaks in the sea, etc.) and navigation aids equipment (lighthouses, light poles, buoys, vertical beacons, front and rear guides, signal stations, etc.).

As well as more subdivided hydrological elements (ocean currents, tides, jets, whirlpools and ice conditions, etc.), various boundaries (channels, anchorages, port boundaries, restricted area boundaries, etc.), as well as a small number of land elements...

"Chen Yan" looked at the map and was lost in thought for a moment.

Chen Yan knew what he was doing. Just like what he was doing, he was comparing it with the waterway recorded on the chart given by Chen Changsheng.

While "Chen Yan" was looking at the recruitment information and sea charts, the middle-aged man at the counter said a long series of coherent words like a rhyme:

"You can go to all the places listed, but I suggest you go somewhere closer.

Nash Island is pretty good. The climate is hundreds of times warmer than this damn place in Nan. Wear short-sleeves at the end, and there are many beauties on the island.

Rubber mining is a simple and not tiring job. The salary is high and there are many holidays. When you arrive, you just pick up money from sacks."

"Chen Yan" curled his lips and did not reply.

Chen Yan sadly discovered that he also subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.

Although he doesn't even have a mouth now, he feels like he can't deceive anyone.

"I want to sign up as soon as possible. After that group of rubbish people made such a fuss this time, the entire empire will know that the citizens of Yanan City are tough and brave. When the news gets out, outsiders may not dare to recruit workers from Yanan City in the future."

"50p an hour, brother, where can you find a job for 50p an hour these days?"

The middle-aged man seemed to have finished playing with his mobile phone and raised his head with a kind smile.

"Don't worry, if you think about it carefully, my store won't run away."

He seemed to be very unconcerned and said:

"But Nash Island only recruits workers for a certain period of time every year, so you have to seize the opportunity."

"Chen Yan" pointed at the wall:

"This, can I take a photo?"

The middle-aged man said cheerfully:

"Of course you can. You can also turn right when you go out. You can buy a small one for a penny in the dollar store. It's much more convenient to use than a mobile phone."

"Chen Yan" and Chen Yan paused at the same time, and the former immediately showed a slightly embarrassed smile:

"I'm looking for Mr. Mike Rawls."

The middle-aged man said:

"I am."

"Chen Yan" took out the necklace that contained Nate Jacob's evil spirit curse and placed it in front of Mike Rawls, also known as Nate Jacob.

"Someone asked me to give this to you."

Nate Jacob looked at the necklace and his whole body froze.
