I patrolled the sea, and except for myself, everyone else was gone. What was going on? I remembered that I was returning along the original route, but how come all the people and fishing boats disappeared?
?Just when I was anxious, I happened to see two people emerging from the sea not far away. I couldn't see clearly who they were, but I can be sure that they were definitely one of our own.
I quickly swam in their direction. When I swam over, I saw clearly that these two people were Mai Lao and Shunzi. "Zhongyi? How are you? Is everything okay?" After Mai Lao saw me, he said,
He took off the respirator in his mouth and said a little surprised.
"I'm fine, how are you?" I looked around again. Apart from the three of us, there was the vast sea.
"It's okay, Brother Yi, why are you alone? Where are the others?" Shunzi asked.
"I still want to ask you. I don't even know what happened, and I ended up here." There are questions in my head, and I still haven't figured out what happened.
Mr. Mai looked around and said, "It seems that we have been scattered. I think the others are not far away. How about we look for them."
I said a little depressed, "We can find someone, but where is our fishing boat? If we can't find the fishing boat, we will be doomed."
"Yes, Mr. Mai, the most important thing now is to find the fishing boat. Without a boat, we won't be able to hold on at sea for long." Shunzi gasped.
Mr. Mai carefully observed the situation around him, "Well, that's what I said. Find the fishing boat first. Then, let's march forward in this direction. The fishing boat should be over there."
"Mr. Mai, are you sure? Let's not go in the wrong direction. If we go further and further, it will be really doomed." The direction Mai Lao pointed to is to the west, which is exactly where the sun is about to set. I'm not sure.
Is the fishing boat over there? I only remember that when we went into the sea, the sun was to the left of our fishing boat and we went out to the right. But now I really can’t tell where it is. Surrounded by the sea on all sides, it’s easy to get lost.
People lose their way.
"If you make a mistake, you have to take a gamble. Otherwise, which side do you want to take?" Mr. Mai threw the question to me again.
"Brother Yi, just listen to Mr. Mai, we can't sit still and wait for death." Shunzi interrupted appropriately from the side.
I nodded and said, "Okay, it's all up to you, Mr. Mai. I will do whatever you tell me."
Then, we marched towards the west, facing the sun, but within ten minutes, I heard the sound of the motor, and the three of us stopped quickly. The sun was shining so brightly that I couldn't see.
Seeing the front clearly, I covered my forehead with my hands and saw a fishing boat not far ahead heading towards us. When I saw this fishing boat, I smiled because it was our fishing boat.
Shunzi also noticed it, and he said excitedly, "It's a fishing boat, it's a fishing boat, great, my sworn brother Mai Lao is our fishing boat."
"Mr. Mai, it seems you are right." I turned around and looked at him.
Mr. Mai also covered his forehead with his hands, looked ahead and said, "I'm just guessing. We are lucky."
The fishing boat quickly stopped next to us, and the life ladder was lowered. The three of us climbed up the ladder one after another. As soon as we returned to the boat, Jiao Ba hurriedly walked over and said, "My dear brother, I finally found you."
So, how are you? Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, Lao Ba. Are the others back?" I looked around and saw that all the other sailors were back, including the big man from Shandong.
"I've been back a long time ago. Aren't we just waiting for you three? Jenny is very anxious." Jiao Ba also said a little anxiously.
Jenny asked from the side at this moment, "Mr. Mai, why did you come here?"
Mai Lao took off the oxygen tank on his body and said, "I can't tell. After coming out of that dark sea, I only saw Shunzi, and then I met Zhongyi."
I sneered and cursed, "Fuck, you can't get down from that damn place at all. After I entered that dark sea, I couldn't see anything. It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't even see the lights next to it."
, and no matter how hard I dived, I could never get out, as if there was a magnetic field. But when I went back, I realized that I had already deviated from the original track. If it hadn't been for the fact that I met Mr. Mai later.
He Shunzi, I’m not sure where it was washed away.”
Li Xin said next to her, "Me too, I don't know what's going on. I just can't dive down. I always feel like there's a force pushing me, and I feel uncomfortable and depressed all over."
Jiao Ba said calmly, "Well, I also felt that weak pressure. This should be caused by some special reason, but in my opinion, it doesn't look like a magnetic field effect."
"What could that be?" I turned around and glanced at Jiao Ba.
Jiao Ba curled his lips and shook his head and said, "I can't tell for the time being, but I think the secret should be in this sunken ship. In fact, I was washed away to other places on the way back, but fortunately, other sailors
They were all near me, and we could still see fishing boats in the distance. Later, when we returned to the boat, we realized that you hadn’t come back yet, so we decided to look for you.”
The big man from Shandong interjected, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but I didn't see any of you come back, so I had to go back to the ship first. When I came back, I saw that Jiao Ba and the others had already come back."
"How long did it take for the fishing boat to find us?" Mr. Mai suddenly asked.
"Ten minutes at most, not long." Jenny said.
Mai Lao took a deep breath and said, "So, we were not washed very far away. It should be on the left and right of this sea area. We were washed to the east of the fishing boat, and Xiaoba and you were washed to the west.
, based on this calculation, this should be the total area of this dark sea."
"Well, almost." Shunzi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said something.
Jiao Ba glanced at him intentionally and said, "Shunzi, you are really good. You are right. You really can't get down from above. Brother, I admire you more and more." When the others heard this,
, everyone thought that Jiao Ba was admiring him, but after I heard it, I knew that Jiao Ba was deliberately mocking him.
Shunzi didn't say a word this time, he just smiled. If it were normal, he would have said some nonsense to Jiao Ba. I don't know if he was hit on the target, or if he didn't want to argue.
"It seems we have to go in from the same way." I looked at Mr. Mai and said.
Mr. Mai looked at the time and said, "Well, that's all we can do. Let's rest now. After dark, let's follow the original route and go to the sea again."...
This trip was just for nothing. We wasted time, wasted so much of our energy, and almost had an accident. If we got carried away and couldn't get back to the fishing boat, we would have to explain here.
The attention paid by the big man from Shandong was really not up to par. Although he had good intentions, it was a pity that he did not accomplish anything good.
Shunzi said no at the beginning. If he had known this, he might as well have listened to Shunzi. But how could Shunzi know that he couldn't get down from above? Did he guess it? Or did he really know some inside information? I can't see it.
Tohru, Shunzi's appearance doesn't look like the kind of person who has all the traps, but then again, even if he is a gangster, he doesn't have the word gangster written on his forehead.
After these two consecutive times, I can clearly see that Jiao Ba is now more and more suspicious of Shunzi. I can only tell Jiao Ba to try not to target Shunzi all the time. Many things cannot be taken lightly.
On the surface, although Shunzi is now highly suspected, it does not mean that he is. As long as the matter does not come to light for a day, one cannot jump to conclusions...
Two hours later, it was completely dark and we were ready to go out again.
Before that, Mr. Mai gathered everyone on the deck, "This time we go to sea, we must try to inspect every cabin, and we must inspect it more carefully. Try not to waste a minute or a second. The faster we go, the better."
Okay, let’s make a quick decision.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and I suddenly said, "Let's make a plan first. After we get to the deck, we will pry open the hatch. After the hatch is opened, two people will be left outside to guard the cabin, and everyone else will be guarded."
Go in, and the person left behind is responsible for responding outside. After hearing the sound of knocking on the hatch door, immediately pry it open. If you still don’t hear the knocking sound after forty minutes, find a way to open the hatch door.
This way we can save some time and also play a certain role in safety."
"Well, I think it's feasible, then it's settled." Mr. Mai then arranged for two people to guard outside the cabin door. He originally planned to let Li Xin stay at the cabin door with the big man from Shandong, but Li Xin insisted on following in.
, so I had to replace him with another sailor.
The fishing boat first returned to its original position. We went into the sea again according to the previous route. We entered the dark sea smoothly along the way. After crossing the group of white plankton, we arrived near the sunken ship.
We swam all the way and soon reached the deck.
Mai Lao gestured for everyone to proceed as planned. Just like last time, Shunzi and I first jammed the inside of the hatch with paratrooper knives and pried open a small crack. Then a few people came over and pulled the hatch outward hard, and the hatch was blocked.
After squeaking it open, Mr. Mai waved his hand, beckoning everyone to hurry in...
