376: Chapter 374 Green Terror 376: Chapter 374 Green Terror After a tirade of vengeful declarations and vicious cursing, Gao Yang did feel much better indeed.
Though they constantly asserted that they must die, the Japanese man who understood English was terribly worried about his fate.
But, as long as there was a sliver of hope, there were few who were willing to give up, especially as the Arctic Sunrise drew closer and began hailing them using the loudspeaker originally meant for speaking to whaling ships.
“The captain of the Arctic Sunrise requests communication with the Shunli Hao.
We have no hostility and are taking a humanitarian stance, please allow us to rescue the crew members from the whaling ship who are in the water.”
When the Arctic Sunrise came within about a thousand meters of the Avenger, it essentially stopped advancing and then started hailing them using the loudspeaker.
After the Arctic Sunrise’s hailing ended, the Japanese crew saw a glimmer of hope.
The English-speaking Japanese man urgently said, “You’re right, Japanese people indeed are a despised species.
Please spare us poor souls; we will never whale again, and we will earnestly apologize.”
Gao Yang scoffed and said, “See, this is just like the Japanese.
When they are at a disadvantage, they act so pitifully that you’d feel bad even for slaughtering them.
But once they get the opportunity, they won’t hesitate to bite chunks off you.
With such creatures, you need to keep kicking them when they are down, not giving them a chance to bite back.”
Glolov shrugged his shoulders and said, “Then let’s do it.
What are we waiting for?”
After saying that, Glolov picked up another AK74, leaned over the railing, and aimed the gun at the English-speaking Japanese man.
Seeing the gun pointed at him, the Japanese man panicked and yelled, “You said you wouldn’t kill us, no, you promised you wouldn’t kill me!”
Gao Yang let out a hearty laugh and loudly said, “I lied to you.”
As soon as Gao Yang finished speaking, Glolov immediately fired his gun, and after several gunshots, the sea surface was devoid of any living person.
After killing everyone outside the lifeboat, Glolov pointed his gun at the lifeboat and started firing.
At this time, Cui Bo took the gun from Gao Yang’s hand and also began to shoot at the lifeboat.
After emptying several magazines, it would have been a miracle if anyone in the lifeboat was still alive.
After emptying out the bullets in the rifle, Uriyangko waved his hand and said, “Alright, all settled, it’s time for us to retreat.
It won’t be long before the whole world is shocked by what happened here, so it’s better for us to leave quickly.”
Gao Yang pointed at the lifeboat and said, “As long as that thing is still afloat, I won’t feel at ease.
Just in case there’s a lucky survivor, so I think it’s better to sink it as well.”
Glolov shrugged and said, “Leave it to me.”
Glolov’s way of handling it was to move the M2HB machine gun to the side of the boat, and then start pouring 12.7mm bullets onto the lifeboat.
The machine gun rounds penetrated the canopy and exited through the bottom of the boat, and before long, the lifeboat was riddled with holes.
The lifeboat from the Nisshin Maru was fully enclosed and made of fiberglass, capable of withstanding the waves, but completely defenseless against machine gun bullets.
The bow of the Nisshin Maru was now completely vertical, and with sounds of metal breaking, it sank faster and faster until it finally disappeared into the water, almost simultaneously with the lifeboat.
At this point, the entire whaling fleet had been sent to the bottom of the sea.
The hailing over the loudspeaker from the Arctic Sunrise resumed, irritating Gao Yang.
He bellowed, “You all stay here and look around a bit longer, make sure no one survived.
I’m going to the cockpit to have a few words with the captain of the Arctic Sunrise.”
Uriyangko frowned and said, “Why bother talking to the Arctic Sunrise?”
Gao Yang pointed toward where the Nisshin Maru had sunk and said, “We’ve caused a huge scene, and it will definitely be recorded.
So I think it’s better to divert the world’s attention somewhere else.”
After returning to the cockpit, Uriyangko picked up the voice changer he had prepared for Pavlovich and said in a deep voice, “Just hold this in front of your mouth, and this knob allows you to adjust the pitch to your desired level.
All right, choose a voice you like.”
Gao Yang tried the voice changer a few times and then selected a setting that made his voice sound very deep and sonorous.
After that, he had Pavlovich turn on the radio.
As soon as the radio was on, calls from the Arctic Sunrise came through, requesting communication with the Shunli Hao, just as they had been shouting through the loudspeakers.
Gao Yang grabbed the microphone and deliberately slowed down his speech, “This is the Shunli Hao, agreeing to communicate with the captain of the Arctic Sunrise.
Now, please listen carefully to every word I say.”
“I am the captain of the Arctic Sunrise.
On humanitarian grounds, I request permission to send people to the crew members who fell overboard.”
Gao Yang said in a deep voice, “After we leave, you can go to their rescue.
Now, please listen carefully to every word I say; I will not repeat them.
It would be best if you record our conversation and release it to the whole world.
First, allow me to express my respect to Greenpeace, and my appreciation to all environmental organizations around the world that are dedicated to the protection of rare animals.
I greatly admire your mission of protecting the Earth, the environment, and the safety and sustainable development of its diverse life forms, as well as the positive changes you endeavor to bring about through action.
I am impressed by the contributions you’ve made to the Earth.
However, I must say, peaceful methods are ineffective against certain individuals in the world who ignore the fact that our environment is on the brink of peril and continue to recklessly destroy the habitat upon which all humanity depends.
The Japanese have endured far too long with their shameless practice of whaling under the guise of scientific research.
Therefore, we, a group of people from around the world, have formed a new organization—the Green Terror.
Our aim is to use every necessary means to protect our Earth.
Our methods include but are not limited to the use of force.
Any commercial whaling operations in international waters will suffer strikes from the Green Terror Organization.
Whether at sea or on land, any behavior causing severe environmental destruction will be struck by us.
We will physically eliminate every individual who gravely endangers the environment.
From now on, anyone who recklessly damages the environment should be cautious; our next target might be you.
Our slogan is, ‘We will not rest until our goal is achieved,’ so for the sake of your own life, please treat the Earth well.
I declare that from today, the Green Terror is officially established and also claim responsibility for the sinking of four Japanese whaling ships.
Above is the official declaration of the Green Terror.
Additionally, I formally warn the Arctic Sunrise not to attempt to track us, or else, I will sink your ship.”
After finishing, Gao Yang threw down the microphone, turned off the radio with a flick of his hand, and after taking a long breath, he said with a laugh, “There, let them go look for someone now.
A newly established terror organization, tsk tsk, with this declaration out there, I reckon the Japanese will have a headache.
From now on, they’ll have to think twice before going whaling.
It seems I’ve made a great contribution to the survival of the whales.”
Uriyangko also laughed and said, “With your speech, the world’s attention will be focused on radical environmental activists.
But who would think that the cause of this incident was merely two girls being attacked?
Ha, who would have thought?”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “Now that everything is over, we can go home.
But with such a big incident, how can we return home safely?”
Uriyangko said with a smile, “Rest assured, Grand Ivan has arranged everything.
He’s the one who truly orchestrated this operation.
Grand Ivan won’t let anyone find any useful leads.
The boat to pick us up is already prepared.
Now, all we need to do is meet up with the boat, and then all traces will be erased.”
Gao Yang nodded, looked around at the people in the cabin, waved his hand, and declared, “I announce that the operation to ‘Kill the Small Japanese’ has ended successfully.”
After a burst of cheers, Uriyangko turned to Pavlovich and said, “Let’s go to the rendezvous point.
It’s time for us to go home.” (To be continued.
