Chapter 228 Water Coffin

After Zhou Ge left, Li Zhuo got up, washed himself, and had a few bites of breakfast.

After transferring 3 million yuan to Zhou Ge, he still had a little more than 3 million yuan left on his Standard Chartered bank card, which was obviously insufficient.

Currently, he still has 1.4 million on his CCB card, which makes the total amount less than 5 million.

Now he has a big family and a big business, but this little money can't cover his problems.

Not to mention, he thought about it and found that he had purchased quite a few properties, including one in his hometown of Xucheng, three in Hangcheng, one in Yangcheng, and two in Thailand.

It’s quite a family business.

In the future, while hoarding houses, he may need to open a few more companies as a cover for his net worth.

Don't worry about this, it's time to start the next mission.

Li Zhuo went downstairs to buy incense and came back. Then he summoned the incense burner from the sea of ​​consciousness, lit the incense and threw it into the incense burner.

He sat on the sofa and waited. After about seven or eight seconds, the cigarette shot straight into the sky, and then jumped into the huge virtual map of Asia.

The cigarette flickered in Yangcheng, and then quickly flew south.

After it entered the South China Sea, it continued to move south and flew over the ocean.

It quickly flew over the South China Sea, crossed Palawan Island, and finally circled offshore in the Sulu Sea near the Philippine island of Mindanao.

Soon, it seemed to have determined its target, and then it instantly flew down and circled around a wooden raft. There was a wooden box on top of it and a mast with a flag.

It would be fine if it was a small boat, but it is much smaller than a boat.

It is unlikely that normal people would rely on it to navigate the sea.

Li Zhuo's heart was sinking. It didn't look like it was prepared for living people.

The incense burner prompt message came quickly:

"The host is requested to go to Mindanao, Philippines as soon as possible, find the selected water coffin in the offshore area of ​​the Sulu Sea, fulfill the deceased's last wish, and obtain corresponding rewards."

Water coffin?

Just by hearing the name, you know it is a place where the dead live.

But how can a dead person still have wishes?

Isn't this a bit beyond the cognition of real life? It's a bit magical.

With a feeling of resistance, Li Zhuo took off his mobile phone and checked online. He found that people in coastal areas of the Philippines generally have the habit of water burial.

Their water burial is to put the ashes of the corpse into a coffin, put it on a raft, and push it into the sea. It will wander in the sea and eventually sink into the sea.

Li Zhuo can understand the habit of water burial. Many seaside places do have this habit, just like the custom of sky burial in snowy areas and the custom of hanging coffins in the southwest.

However, it is made into a water coffin and is still floating on the sea. It would be a bit scary to encounter it at sea.

With an indescribable emotion, Li Zhuo booked a recent flight from Yangcheng to Manila, Philippines.

Later, he contacted his secretary Niu Yingjie and asked her to handle visa matters.

The secretary expedited the application, and Li Zhuo received the visa two days later.

He has also taken care of everything here and found a young nanny who can take care of Zhou Ge's food and daily life.

The sanitation of the flat floor is also provided to the property management, and someone will be sent to provide door-to-door service twice a week.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Ge, he packed his suitcase and boarded a plane from Baiyun Airport in Yangcheng to fly directly to Manila.

The straight-line distance between the two places is just over 1,000 kilometers, which normally takes more than an hour.

So it was very convenient, and we quickly landed at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

Li Zhuo had a meal in the airport rest area, and when the time came, he got on the plane again from Manila to Zamboanga, a city in Mindanao.

Mindanao and Luzon are separate and there is no direct road connection. You have to either fly or take a boat.

The distance between the two places is not far, about 800 kilometers, but the small plane is not fast enough, so it took 1 hour and 40 minutes to fly to Zamboanga City.

Zamboanga is a port city and municipality at the southwestern tip of Mindanao, and the third largest city in the Philippines.

It is located in a narrow tropical plain and is hot all year round. Economic development is considered good for the entire Mindanao Island, but it is mainly based on the transshipment of primary products, exporting rubber, pearls, coconuts, hardwoods, fisheries and fruits, etc.

Li Zhuo knew that the security here was not very good, and he had been noticed several times on the Chinese Internet, all because of violent incidents.

Therefore, he contacted the largest Chinese-owned travel company here in advance.

By the way, the population here is 500,000, including more than 10,000 Chinese, but Chinese account for a relatively large proportion in economic life.

As soon as Li Zhuo left the airport, he saw the Chinese tour guide sent by the travel company, holding a sign waiting for him.

With his help, I quickly checked into a four-star hotel here, Maician Garden Hotel.

The next day, Li Zhuo, under the guidance of the tour guide, first visited some of the more famous places of interest in Zamboanga——

The City Hall is a Western-style building left over from Spanish colonial rule.

Pila Fort, located on the southeast coast of Zamboanga, was a fortress that resisted Muslim attacks.

And the Binondo Church, commonly known as the Black Church, is a Catholic-style building that is quite unique.

And Santa Croce Island has a pink sand beach. The water in the shallows near the island is light green and very beautiful.

In terms of sea view, the scenery here is much better than that of the domestic coast, but in terms of public security and comfort of life, it is far behind that in China.

Food is not bad, there are more local catches, and all kinds of seafood are good and cheap.

However, their usual methods include baking and frying, and their food processing capabilities and levels are not on the same level as those in China.

Fortunately, there are a lot of Fujian dishes brought here by immigrants from Fujian Province, and you can still try them.

The tour guide even took him to eat "Fa Cai Noodles" for this reason.

It is noodles covered with pork, pig skin, chicken liver, large intestine and other offal, and then added with broth.

This was Li Zhuo's first time eating this kind of noodles, and he didn't know if it was available in Fujian Province or if it was original here.

I also ate a kind of rice cake in the middle, which is a bit like domestic rice dumplings, but it is cylindrical. It tastes soft and refreshing, with the sweetness of coconut meat, and it tastes pretty good.

During the meal, the tour guide reconfirmed the next day's itinerary with Li Zhuo.

Because in his opinion, this is a big job, that is, Li Zhuo wants to rent a yacht or a large fishing boat and go fishing on the Sulu Sea.

This is definitely not a regular tourist project, but the tour guide company obviously likes this kind of tourists who are willing to spend money and is happy to provide this kind of service.

They had already started looking for a yacht, and that night, they made several phone calls to confirm with Li Zhuo.

What they found was an 86-foot, 26.2-meter-long private luxury yacht that could accommodate 15 people. The travel company said the decoration and facilities on the yacht were good.

The asking price is 160,000 pesos per three hours, which is equivalent to 20,000 yuan per three hours.

This price is RMB 160,000 per day.

But this is because the yacht charter party is using him as a scapegoat.

Li Zhuo finally paid 800,000 pesos for a 24-hour rental, which is equivalent to 100,000 yuan for a day.

Li Zhuo could accept this price for renting a large yacht in Zamboanga, but he would not be willing to pay more.

In the end, the lessor compromised and agreed to the price.

Very early the next day, the tour guide took Li Zhuo to buy a lot of food at the market and took them to the yacht together.

He explained that he knew how to cook, so he didn't have to spend extra money.
