The temperature in the Barents waters is minus 14 degrees Celsius, while the sea water is infinitely close to zero.
The night is particularly solemn, and the flowing sea water is like rolling mercury, heavy and oppressive.
The Arctic lowered its anchor, and its hull was swaying on the sea surface. Only its lights were left on the entire sea surface, illuminating a small area of sea alone.
It is surrounded by floats dotted in the dark like stars, like duckweed in a river.
At this moment, the Arctic is like a lonely traveler wandering at the end of the world.
Someone jumped into the rolling sea of darkness.
Zhang Jian felt that the ice water was stained with his skin, and he couldn't help but shivered. He looked at Yangyang and roared in the howling sea breeze: "How can it be fine if you jump into the sea in this weather?!"
The girl under the boat light took off her hood and let her long hair sway in the wind. She responded with a smile: "It won't be a problem. He wants to help the Arctic solve some small problems."
Zhang Jian was puzzled: "Alps, Long Tail, Are the Killer Whale really coming? Are you kidding? We didn't see anything, and there was no display on the radar."
Yangyang smiled and did not explain. She just stared at the sea, ready to support her at any time.
At this time, Zhang Jian waited for a while, but never saw Qingchen breathing out of water.
However, Qingchen was like a real sea king, and there was no news after entering the sea.
Zhang Jian looked at Yangyang silently and thought to himself that Qingchen and this girl would come over, maybe they wanted to cheat the insurance.
Not to mention that these two people bought a lot of accidental personal insurance before boarding the ship, and then went back to tell the insurance company that Qingchen died accidentally on the ship?
In the early years, some crew members did this when they were desperate, but later the insurance was unwilling to provide insurance policies to crabbatchers.
There are even insurances that indicate the terms, and accidental death on a crab boat is a natural disaster...
On the other side, on the dark sea, the Longtail, the Killer Whale, and the Alps had already turned off the lights, turned off the radar on their ship, and even turned off the engines when they were about to approach the Arctic.
"Only the strong are allowed to survive on the Barents Sea, the weak can enjoy king crabs on the shore, but they cannot come here to share good luck with us," the captain of the Killer Whale looked at the night scene solemnly.
On the crab boat, experienced sailors were wearing diving suits and were checking the oxygen cylinder on their bodies by their companions.
The captain of the Killer Whale stood at the bow and said with a smile: "The wind speed has slowed down. If it is only 20 knots, you can just dive. Go into the water and cut off thirty floats of the Arctic, so that his crab cage will sink to the bottom of the sea forever."
After saying that, the three sailors turned over and jumped into the sea, as flexible as seals.
They swayed their long diving webs on their feet and swam quickly towards the sea where the Arctic is located, and the ship lights on the Arctic are like lighthouses in the lonely sea, guiding them.
With them, the sailors of the Long Tail, the Alps.
The sailors approached the Arctic and someone had already seen the float under the boat lights.
However, a sailor always felt a little uneasy, and there seemed to be a strange undercurrent underwater.
But he looked around, but nothing was found in the dark sea.
There is only a dark sea.
Maybe he was too careful, so the sailor pulled out the dagger tied to his cuffs and swam towards the float.
However, the next moment he saw some dark figure wandering quickly from front of him.
In an instant, the sailor's scalp was numb!
He tried to float on the surface of the sea with his hands and feet, but as soon as the sailor pulled it twice, he felt as if something was entangled in his ankle.
Drag him into the deep seabed.
The sailor's legs burst out and he tried to kick off the weird thing on his ankle.
But the thing became tighter and tighter, like the tentacles of the King of the Arctic Ocean under the sea.
Suddenly the downward pulling power also exploded. In the thunder, the sailor waved the dagger aimlessly, but his palm numb. When he reacted, he didn't know where the dagger in his hand went.
At this moment, his chest was pushed away by a huge force, as if he was kicked heavily...
wrong!
The sailor had already reacted. When the light from the boat light shone, he found that someone had indeed kicked him just now!
And now, the person who kicked him had already used the kicking force to go away, as if everyone was stomping on the wall beside the swimming pool.
The sailor recalled what had just happened. It was obvious that someone first pulled his ankle from underwater, then grabbed the knife and kicked someone in one go!
The sailors were all stupid. Who was the person under this dark sea? The other party did not wear flippers, did not wear diving suits, and did not carry oxygen cylinders.
But the other party was as flexible as a killer whale under the water, and his strength was extremely strong.
This mysterious existence under the sea seemed to be just to "confiscate" his dagger and did not intend to kill anyone.
The sailor thought for two seconds and turned around and swam towards the Killer Whale. Since the other party had spared his life, don't be ungrateful...
At this moment, the same thing is still happening under the sea.
Zhang Jian wrapped his clothes tightly and stood nervously on the deck of the Arctic. Five minutes had passed, but Qingchen still did not appear on the sea.
That Qingchen must have been dead, who can hold his breath for so long?!
These two people are indeed here to cheat insurance!
Unexpectedly, two students did such a thing at a young age!
...
...
Compared to Zhang Jian who was thinking about it on the deck, the sailors under the sea were not as thoughtful as they were.
They only felt that they were targeted by the legendary sea monster under the Barents Sea and could not escape even if they wanted to.
A sailor just stretched out his left hand to grab the rope under the balloon float, and held the dagger in his right hand to prepare to cut it.
But a dark shadow swam past, and when the sailor's right hand came to the rope, he didn't know where the dagger in his hand had gone.
They swam hard to swim to the anchor of their boats, looking back while swimming, fearing that the dark shadow would follow them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! These sailors are not as lucky as the first place.
The first sailor saw clearly that it was a human who grabbed his dagger, so he was not so panicked.
But the remaining sailors were far away from the Arctic ship lights and could not see Qingchen clearly in the dark sea, so the fear in his heart had filled the whole heart.
There are many legends about the Barents Sea.
According to historical records, the Barents Sea was one of the earliest areas to discover the king squid, and records prove that merchant ships had been attacked by the king squid in this sea area.
For a time, sailors who had never seen sea monsters in this sea area swam hard while recalling the legends, the more they thought about it, the more they became more and more scared.
But they couldn't figure out what the sea monster wanted their daggers...
Fortunately, the "Sea Monster" did not continue to chase after seizing their daggers, and allowed them to escape back to their ship.
The captain of the Killer Whale stood at the bow. When he saw the sailors returning so quickly, he immediately felt something was wrong: "What happened? Cutting thirty floats is not so fast!"
A sailor in a diving suit was pulled onto the deck, and he said tremblingly: "There is a sea monster!"
Fener was stunned for a moment: "Sea Monster?!"
He looked at another sailor: "You have encountered a sea monster, too?"
The sailor nodded and said inexplicably in horror: "I can't see the traces under the water, but I just feel that the sea monster is swimming very fast and has great strength!"
Fener glanced at the panicked crew members on the boat and immediately said, "What a panic? If it were really a sea monster, could the three sailors who went into the sea come back? If there were really something like a king squid under the Barents Sea, you would have died long ago. By the way, what happened after you encountered the sea monster?"
The sailor replied: "The sea monster took my dagger away."
Another sailor was stunned for a moment: "My dagger was also taken away."
Fener sneered: "It must be someone pretending to be a ghost, not a sea monster. Which sea monster did you take away your dagger when you saw that you were idle and had nothing to do, and you would take away your dagger? Why, Barents Sea won't let you bring controlled knives?"
He looked at the still swaying Arctic on the sea from afar: "Open the ship lights, this must be done by the Arctic. Just drive it over and take a look. By the way, use the radio to tell the Alps and Long Tail about our affairs, and ask them if they have encountered the same thing."
While speaking, the lights on the deck of the Killer Whale were all on, and the Alps and Long Tail were also on.
The three ships were like a regular triangle, surrounding the Arctic in the sea.
Zhang Jian, John, and Nidepp on the Arctic were stunned when they saw this scene. It turned out that it was really like Qingchen. Yang Yang said that these three crab boats were always next to them!
Zhang Jian couldn't help but look at Yangyang's back, but saw her throwing a rope into the sea and pulling up the unscathed Qingchen.
Zhang Jian and others were shocked. Qing Chen was really not dead, and he looked in good condition, not afraid of the cold sea water.
Who is this and what is it for the Barents Sea?
His eyes when he looked at Qingchen and Yangyang changed. Even if someone told him that this girl could fly, he would not be surprised at all!
Qingchen smiled happily and said, "It's done."
As he said that, he threw the daggers he was holding in his hand on the deck, and Yangyang asked in a low voice: "Have you killed someone?"
Qingchen thought for a while: "These people don't have any big grudges with me, so there is no need to start a massacre here."
"Well," Yangyang nodded with a smile. She had already prepared a dry towel and handed it to Qingchen: "Do you want me to wipe it for you?"
"Cough, no need," Qingchen was not choked under the water, but after getting on the boat, he was almost choked by the seedlings.
Seeing three crab boats coming from the periphery, Qingchen returned to the cabin: "I'll change my clothes first. By the way, they said they didn't know what they asked."
The Killer Whale arrived first, and the three crab boats were only more than ten meters apart from the Arctic. Fener took the telescope and saw daggers scattered on the deck at a glance.
"I didn't expect you to hide deeply this time," Fener looked at Zhang Jianyaoyao and sneered: "Where is the 'Sea Monster', let him come out and say hello to everyone."
Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, and looked around nervously: "Sea monster? Sea monster in the Barents Sea?!"
Fener sneered: "What are you pretending here? I said, how dare you stay here? It turns out that there are masters on the boat. I thought you really have no sailors available. By the way, who have you invited you? Are your father's former old subordinates? Did you use up all the favors you have accumulated?"
Zhang Jian suddenly realized that the sea monster that Fener mentioned before, and his father's old subordinates, were actually talking about Qingchen!
It must be Qingchen doing something under the sea that made Fener run over and feel sarcastic.
Zhang Jian thought for a while, lowered his head and counted the daggers, nine.
He looked at Fener and asked curiously: "Nine of you sailors can't beat him?"
Fener: "…"
Zhang Jian did ask out of curiosity. He wanted to know what kind of person Qingchen was, but this sentence was so ridiculous to Fener.
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.
Zhang Jian continued to ask: "Why are you targeting the Arctic? Even if you don't get the Arctic quota, you can still make millions of euros a year."
Greke said: "Isn't it good to be a ship owner steadily? Corporate operations allow everyone to change to better ships, better equipment, and better fishing systems."
"What about the free spirit and adventurous spirit of crab fishermen?" Zhang Jian asked seriously: "At this time of year, we will come to this place with the worst environment in the world, not just for money. The wife will keep her husband and not go out to sea again, but the real sailors will still pack their bags. If they see whales, they will cheer, and if they see the floating ice like mountains, they will pray devoutly. There will be new sailors who will hear the stories of their fathers. When they come to this mysterious Barents Sea, more people will hear the stories here in the future. But if the sailors and the captain are not free, these stories will be overshadowed."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Greke shook his head: "You are still a child and don't understand what this so-called adventure means. It means that your wife may not be able to wait for her husband to come home, and your children cannot wait for her father. Compared with the adventure stories at the Barents Sea, we hope that this place can keep pace with the times and let all crew members go back alive. With corporate operations, we can negotiate prices with the purchaser, and we can give the crew more protection and replace larger and more stable boats. Do you think we are really making money for ourselves? Ask our crew members, are they paid more? Last year, none of us died on the ship."
This time, Zhang Jian was silent, and Qing Chen in the cabin thought Greke was correct this time.
There seems to be no real bad people on the Barents Sea.
Zhang Jian said: "If I make money this year, I will change to a larger ship to give better protection to the crew."
Greke sneered: "Good luck, I hope you can really salvage enough king crabs to survive this year. If you can't survive, your crab catching license will be re-auctioned, and the same will be true for us to buy it from the judicial auction."
At this time, Old John on the deck glanced at the time and suddenly said, "It's time to lift the crab cage."
Zhang Jian glanced at Old John. He knew that the other party wanted to pull up the full crab cage, and he angered Craig and others on the spot...
"Then let's hang up and see how we get!" Zhang Jian said loudly.
The next moment, Qingchen, who had already changed his work clothes, walked out of the cabin and once he hooked the rope under the float with his hook claws.
Qingchen said to Old John with a smile: "Crane!"
Craig, Fener and others who were originally planning to leave stopped and stood on the deck and waited silently.
The Arctic crane made a rumble. When the crab cage appeared on the water, everyone held their breath, but saw that the Arctic crab cage was densely filled with king crabs larger than the washbasin!
Fener and others were all old captains across the Barents Sea. Just look at this and you will know that the legendary Golden Crab Field was found by the Arctic!
