I finally got rid of these sailors. Regardless of whether what I said is true or false, as long as it can have an effect, it doesn't matter whether it's unscrupulous or sorry for them. As of now, it can only be like this.
I smiled and nodded to the big man, and Mr. Mai quickly said, "Okay, okay, since there's nothing going on, you go back and have something to eat first, and then rest. We can handle the other things."
The four sailors returned to the rest cabin first. After they left, Mr. Mai turned around and said to me with a smile, "Well done. This person's heart is broken and it's hard to lead the team. Without your words, I think
They definitely won’t stay.”
I forced a smile and said, "It's not that easy to go back. It's hard to find land in the vast sea."
Jenny looked at me with gratitude now and said, "Zhongyi, thank you."
I touched my nose and said a little embarrassedly, "I have nothing to thank you for, I'm just telling the truth."
"Then I have to thank you too. Without you, the following work would really not be possible." Jenny smiled very sweetly, the kind of smile that came from the heart.
"You don't have to be so polite. I'm thinking of the overall situation. By the way, Mr. Mai, what should I do with the sailor's body?" I looked at Mr. Mai and asked.
Mr. Mai turned around and looked at the corpse on the edge of the deck. There was no trace of him anymore. The corpse was exuding a strong smell of blood. He said helplessly, "Let's wrap the body first and bury it at sea tomorrow."
,Hey~ It’s another young life.”
Yes, this is a very young life. He was just in his early twenties and died like this. Anyone who sees it will feel pity and distress. The few of us first simply processed the body, which was nothing more than
Let him look more decent, but his body is almost torn apart, so he can only do it reluctantly.
Then we wrapped the body again, with only the head exposed, to make it look like he died peacefully, and then placed it on the side of the deck. We would wait until early tomorrow morning and give him a sea burial. In fact, it would be in vain no matter what.
What's the point of doing this after you're dead? The purpose of doing this, in Mai Lao's words, is to show respect to the deceased.
After disposing of the body, we had a simple meal, and then Mr. Mai invited a few of us to go to Jenny's rest room to discuss things. During this time, a lot of things happened, big and small. If we didn't discuss the countermeasures seriously, I would feel it.
It's hard to continue.
I changed into clean clothes, stood up and asked Jiao Ba and Shunzi to come with me.
"Brother Yi, you go over first, I'll go back later." Jiao Ba turned over a book in his hand and said to me without raising his head.
"What are you looking at? You're fascinated." I took a look at the book in his hand. To be precise, it seemed to be a notebook. It was in tatters and I didn't know what it was. It was still green on the outside. It seemed to be from before liberation.
The stuff is a bit old anyway.
"Checking things, you go over first, I'll find you later." Jiao Ba said without raising his head, and waved to us with one hand.
Shunzi and I looked at each other and let him go. The two of us arrived at Jenny's resting cabin. Mai Lao was already here. He looked at me and said, "Where's Jiao Ba? Is he asleep?"
"No, he's looking at something. He can come over later. We don't have to wait for him." As I spoke, I sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took two long puffs.
It was Mr. Mai who was the first to speak, "Zhongyi, we have to think of something this time. We can't have any more casualties. There are fewer and fewer sailors, and the work is getting harder and harder."
I squinted my eyes and blew out the smoke and said, "I know I have to find a way, but what way can I think of? Mr. Mai, you also know that there is no land under the deep sea. Many times we can't control it at all. Just take what happened today.
Tell me, if it hadn’t been for being under the deep sea, that young man wouldn’t have died.”
I am telling the truth. People's activities under the deep sea are very restricted, and their movements are relatively much slower than on land. When encountering an emergency, it is difficult to escape in time. This is
The most critical issue, no matter how meticulous the preparations are, is still stuck.
Mr. Mai glanced at me, nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. Even if we prepare everything, we may not be able to avoid danger, but I really don't want to see any more casualties." This old guy
It was a rare moment of sadness today. From his eyes, I seemed to see a trace of pity and sympathy.
"I don't want to see death anymore. I can't stand it anymore." Jenny said next to her. Her face also became very bad. Four people have died since she went to sea. She can hold on and it's very good.
It's not easy anymore.
I smiled helplessly, took a puff of cigarette and said, "For safety matters, we can only do our best, and that's all we can do. Let's not talk about it for now. Mr. Mai, the big black fish we met under the sea just now
, what on earth is it? Is it a fish?" I changed the subject and quickly asked about business.
"Well... I really don't know. It's the first time I've seen this thing. I just checked the Marine Encyclopedia and there's no such creature at all. What exactly it is, I can't find out now." Mr. Mai
With a serious look on his face, it can be seen that this old guy has tried his best.
"Is there really a sea monster?" Li Xin's voice sounded next to me, as if she was talking to herself, and I ignored her.
"I don't think so, Mr. Mai, could this just be a creature that has not been recorded by humans?" Jenny asked with an innocent expression.
I sneered and said, "It's not as simple as you think."
Shunzi suddenly said at this time, "By the way, brother Yi, I thought of something. Could this big black fish you mentioned be the black shadow you mentioned before?"
Shunzi's words reminded me that I had been thinking about what it was just now, but I forgot that I had encountered a black shadow. I thought about it carefully and found that there is a lot in common between the two.
They are all fast, large enough, and they are all black, so they should be about the same.
"Listening to what you said, it seems that this is the case. Maybe this big black fish is really the black shadow that kills the mine." Although I feel the same, I am not completely sure yet.
Mai Lao hurriedly added, "Then the roar you heard under the deep sea before was also made by this thing?"
Mai Lao's words reminded me again that not only the huge roar under the deep sea, but also the beast-like breathing in my ears were all encountered in that sea area. But do these have anything to do with the big black fish?
I really couldn't think of it. If it was a thing, then it would be okay to say that the danger is gone for the time being, but if it was not a thing, it would be terrible.
I shook my head gently and said, "I don't know. There is no connection at all. I just heard some sounds. I'm really not sure whether it is true or not."
After thinking for a moment, Mai Lao said, "Now we generally understand the underwater situation, but we don't know if there is anything dangerous yet. If we can be sure that it is this big black fish, then that's okay.
Let’s do something about it. If we can’t be sure, we will go into the sea tomorrow and the risk will still be very high.”
Shunzi said with a worried expression, "This is terrible. What the hell is that thing?"
Just when the several of us couldn't come up with a result after discussion, Jiao Ba hurried over. He shouted as soon as he entered the door, "I found it, I found it, I know what that big black fish is?"
His words made our eyes light up, as if we saw hope again. Mr. Mai quickly asked, "What is that?"
The rest of us also asked questions one after another. Jiao Ba first took a sip of the tea on the table, and then said with a serious face, "This is a very evil thing. It's called the Thorn Horse Foal."
What? Stabbing a pony? After Jiao Ba finished speaking, we were all dumbfounded. We looked at each other one by one and didn’t know what to say. What the hell is this thing?
