Rebirth begins at Skull Island

Chapter 26 Leaving the Warship
The system prompt abruptly stopped Rhodes in his tracks.

Wish Machine!
The wish of money from the sky!
Rhodes froze for a moment, turned around, and returned to the guardrail.

The two men are still there, hiding under a lifeboat and don't know what they are doing.

Enduring his nausea, Rhodes took out the stack of beautiful knives from the fruit and prepared to throw it away, but then, after thinking about it, he took half of it and took back the fruit, and prepared to throw the rest.

"Ba ha ha ha..."

The intimate voice below made Rhodes really want to go down and kick the two pieces of old glass, but for the sake of the mission, he still resisted the urge.

In the end, Rhodes took out one of the half stacks of money, squeezed it into a ball, and threw it under the lifeboat.

"Du, da, da..."

Qian Qiu accurately rolled to the bottom of the lifeboat, and within two seconds, the sound of "baji" stopped.

However, immediately after, an exclamation came out.

"God, how can there be 100 yuan here!?"

"Hurry up! Put on your underwear and go!"

Rhodes: "."

In the next second, Rhodes, who was hiding behind the guardrail, saw two disheveled soldiers, looked left and right, and walked away quickly.

"Ding, fulfill Tom Wilson's wish of "Heavenly Banknote" and reward him with a wishing copper coin."

For some reason, Rhodes felt that this wishing copper coin had gay in it.

Back in the medical cabin, Rhodes didn't draw the lottery immediately. He stored the wishing copper coins in his mind, lay on the bed, and began to think about the wishing machine.

He originally thought that every time he wished in this wishing machine, he would need to ask someone else's wish in person before accepting it.

During the few hours on the boat, he had no contact with anyone except Dr. Edward and the cook in the canteen, so naturally he couldn't find someone to exchange the wishing coins.

However, the arrival of the wishing coin today gave him some new ideas.

Early the next morning, while Dr. Edward was doing a routine physical examination, Rhodes suddenly opened his mouth and asked:

"Doctor Edward, what is your wish?"

"Wish?" Dr. Edward was filling out the form. When he heard Rhodes' question, he raised his head and smiled, "Me? I don't have any wishes."

Perhaps because he noticed that Rhodes' expression didn't look like he was joking when he asked the question, Dr. Edward straightened his body and thought for a while.

"I hope I am healthy, I hope the world is peaceful, and I hope you can find a good family soon."

Why does this sound so strange.

Rhodes' mouth twitched, and after waiting for a while, he didn't hear any notification from the system in his mind.

It seems that this doctor Edward really does not have any strong desire to distract himself.

Since he couldn't get the wish coins on him, and it was impossible to go out to meet the soldiers, Rhodes thought about it, it's better to leave this warship as soon as possible.

"Doctor Edward, when can I go ashore?"

For some reason, Rhodes felt that when he asked this question, Dr. Edward's hand that was writing smoothly paused.

Maybe I read it wrong.

Rhodes didn't think much, and put his eyes on Dr. Edward's face.

"Soon, when you recover and the information verification is all right, after the follow-up arrangements are made, we will send a helicopter to take you directly to a nearby airport, and then take you back to your country."

Well, it seems that it will take several days.

Rhodes lay flat on the bed a little dejectedly, looking at the top of the cabin.

"You should pay attention to rest. The most important thing is to take good care of your body. In addition, I will inform you as soon as there is any news about your father." Doctor Edward said, taking out a piece of chocolate candy from his pocket and putting it next to Rhodes' pillow , smiled, and walked out from the door.

As soon as he left the house, the smile on Dr. Edward's face disappeared immediately. He took his writing board and went straight to the captain's room.

In the captain's cabin at the moment, Colonel Wells was standing in front of a world map with his hands behind his back, looking at something. When he heard the knock on the cabin door, he turned around and nodded when he saw someone coming. .

"Come in."

Doctor Edward immediately stepped into the captain's room.

"What is it? Captain Edward."

"Colonel Wells, it's about Alexander Rona's child."

As soon as these words came out, Colonel Wells, who was cutting the cigar, was taken aback for a moment, and immediately showed surprise.

"What? Are you sure?"

"Report, no."

Colonel Wells paused at Dr. Edward's words, and then frowned, as if he was talking to himself.

"Impossible! The recovery ability of the body is so good, how could it not be a mutant?"

Then Colonel Wells suddenly remembered something, and squinted at Dr. Edward.

"Did you move your hands and feet? Why?"

"Report! No!" Doctor Edward looked forward normally, and his voice was affirmative.

Colonel Wells did not speak, his eyes were fixed on Dr. Edward, and after a while, he spoke again:
"Do you know how much Lieutenant General Paley has spent trying to find mutants?"

"Report! Know! The data shows that this child is not a mutant!" Edward said in a steady voice, and did not change his opinion because of Colonel Wells' words.

The captain's room fell into silence again.

1 minute, 2 minutes, and finally 5 minutes passed, and Colonel Wells broke the calm.

He took out a match, lit the cigar in his hand with a "prick", and took a deep puff.

In the smoky state, he spit out a few words lightly.

"Let him go."

-

An hour later, when Rhodes knew that he had to leave the destroyer Chaffee immediately, he was as happy as a two-hundred-pound fat man.

Soon, he got dressed and walked out of the medical cabin ready to go.

"The rest are all arranged." Doctor Edward, who was standing at the door, squatted down and straightened Rhodes' collar, "Go to the base and find my friend, Captain Lenox, who will arrange it for you. It’s good to go back home.”

"Hmm! Thank you!"

Rhodes solemnly thanked the middle-aged officer in front of him. He could feel that this medical officer was really good to him.

As for why, he didn't know, and he didn't think about it. After all, now Rhodes is full of thoughts about leaving this prison-like warship.

Ten minutes later, Rhodes boarded a helicopter. Apart from the pilot, he was the only person in the seat.

"chug chug chug"

The helicopter took off, and Rhodes waved goodbye to Dr. Edward from his seat.

Afterwards, when the helicopter turned around, he put down his hand and scanned the entire interior of the helicopter.

The pilot was a big black man, but he didn't seem to like talking much. He had a cold expression on his face and was focused on driving the helicopter.

And there was nothing new on the helicopter, Rhodes looked at it for a while and then set his sights on the sea outside the helicopter.

I don't know where I am now, I can only know that the current warship is in the Arabian Sea in the north of the Indian Ocean through chatting with Dr. Edward in the past.

As for the exact location, he is not very clear.

But having said that, when he was in school, Rhodes was not good at geography and could not distinguish the corresponding locations of countries and names.

Then the geography teacher asked him to go home and memorize the geographical distribution of Asian countries by rote. As a result, when Rhodes returned home, he searched for "high-definition Asian pictures" on the Internet.

This search has since embarked on a road of no return.
