"Hey, it's me, Leo. ”

The sound of turning pages sounded, the screen gradually took on color, at dusk, the phone placed on the shoe cabinet in the entrance was answered, one hand picked up the microphone, the golden sunlight left a faint spot on the magazine, outside the door, the children ran wildly in the yard, although the laughter was cut by the closed doors and windows, Leo could still hear the children's lively laughter.

"Leo, I'd like to talk to you about a new job. ”

Leo's face did not go directly into the mirror, but gave a close-up of Tina's face who had just come out of the kitchen with a turkey in her hand, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her emotions were a little mixed, and the camera began to move, looking at Leo who was standing at the door on the phone from Tina's point of view.

He seemed to notice someone behind him, turned his head sideways, half his face avoided the sunlight, in the shadows, and saw her holding a baking tray in both hands, so he took two steps forward and opened the door.

In an instant, the children's laughter, the adults' chatter, and the comfortable country music, accompanied by the breeze, blew into the room, and the books on the shoe cabinet were blown away, and the pages flipped quickly, rattling, until Leo pressed them again, and casually pressed a bunch of keys against the books.

His fiancée was looking at him, which was a headache for Leo, rubbing his index and middle fingers on his forehead, and seeing that Tina still hadn't walked out of the door, the voice on the other side of the phone was unconsciously weakened.

"Please, Paul, I've only been a father for a short time, and next month is my daughter's first birthday, and I'm going to plan my wedding to Tina, sorry, I really don't have time. ”

"I know, I'm sorry too, but we do need your help, I promise you, the working hours are one month, regardless of whether the mission is completed or not, we will return at that time, and I will be guaranteed to be in time on the 14th of next month, and I will also attend Kara's birthday party at that time, OK?"

"You're making it hard for me, my family needs me right now. ”

"Yes, I'm sorry, but the other party is National Geographic, and is willing to pay us 20,000 yuan a week, think about you coming back next month with 80,000 yuan and changing a big diamond ring for Tina, how about it?"

Diamond rings......

Removing the key from the magazine, he opened it slightly, and a pair of brown eyes were staring at the pages of the magazine, his head turned again, Tina was still standing there, and after meeting his gaze, Leo shifted his gaze again.

"What the hell are you looking for?"

"That northern blue whale. ”

"Are you kidding?"

Just last week, a fishing boat spotted a huge northern blue whale near the Gulf of Mexico in the North Atlantic, which is presumed to be more than 32 meters in size based on video conditions.

As one of the subspecies of the blue whale, the body size of the northern blue whale is slightly smaller than other subspecies, the body size of the adult male northern blue whale is about 25 meters, and the body shape of the adult female northern blue whale is about 23 meters, of course, as the age increases, the body size will continue to increase, and the length of 27 meters to 30 meters is considered a reasonable range.

And the monster in the video, conservatively estimated to be above thirty-two meters, God knows how old it lived and how much it ate, if it is really found to measure and confirm the length, then this northern blue whale will be the largest subspecies of North Atlantic blue whale found by humans so far.

As soon as the video was released, it caused a sensation in the industry, and at first some people questioned the authenticity of the video, but after testing, the video was indeed not fake, and as a lesser-known oceanographer, he naturally heard about it.

Moreover, if its size exceeds 33 meters, then it will break the maximum growth limit of the blue whale known to humans.

This is not surprising, he is puzzled that National Geographic actually wants to use a month to pull that guy out of the Atlantic, no matter how you look at it, it is not very realistic.

"It's not that we want to find it in a month, but it only gives us nearly a month to find it, and it's currently following a group, with a relatively fixed range of activities, and it's not out of our observation range, but the bad news is that the weather station predicts that there will be a cold air stream to the North Atlantic next month, and the temperature may drop below 10 degrees Celsius, you know they don't like cold, and if it's really out of the circle by then, it's even more difficult for us to find it." ”

"But it's still difficult. ”

"That's what they should think about, if they find it, they have to pay us a bonus, if they can't find it, he has to give me my salary, a month, just a month, at least 80,000 yuan. ”

As a father and a man who is about to marry his fiancée, he is indeed financially strapped right now, so he is moved by this generous pay, and gradually has an idea in his heart, even if he is very reluctant to associate with the professional team that works for National Geographic.

Those people have a lot of money, a professional team, and a lot of big bulls, which are all advantages, but the attitude towards Leo and these temporary workers is not friendly, and there is a sense of superiority.

They hired scholars like Leo to pick orders, just to give those big bulls a hand, to spread divergent thinking, by the way, when the big bulls were recording documentaries, to act as a clown with a professional foundation, throw out all kinds of remarks against the big bulls' predictions, and then sit back and wait to be slapped in the face, improve the entertainment, and sell them to the TV station for a good price.

Of course, the premise is that your negative remarks must be common sense and professional, which is not just an ordinary slap in the face, but a very fierce discussion in the eyes of the outside world.

Leo doesn't want to be a clown, but for an ordinary scholar like him who only serves in schools and doesn't have a professional team to admire and absorb, this is their way of survival.

Behind his back, Tina is still watching him, which makes it difficult for him to agree directly to Paul without consulting with his fiancée about the decision.

"I'll think about it and give you an answer tomorrow at the latest. ”

"Alright then, you're going to hurry, and in four days, we'll be on our way. ”

"Yes. ”

This was a very rushed time, of course, this was for Leo alone, and the team must have been fully prepared for it, leaving him alone to passively accept this provision.

After hanging up the phone, the room fell silent, he looked at Tina with some apprehension, rubbed his fingers crossed, looked at her calm eyes, and then stretched out his hand to point out the window.

"They can't wait, let's get out. ”

"Leo. ”

"Huh?"

She looked flat, no annoyance or sadness in her eyes, just looked at him quietly, still holding the plate of turkey roasted to the point of redness and appetizing.

"Is it okay not to go this time? Lucy will be a year old soon, she will be able to call you Daddy soon, I don't want you to leave at this time, and I don't think you want that. ”

"I know, but you have to believe me, baby, it's only a month, and I won't stay longer than a day. ”

"Are you impressed by the salary they offered?"

"I don't deny it, after all, the family really needs money right now, and I think this wedding dress is really suitable for you. ”

He picked up the magazine, and on the page he flipped through was a wedding dress that looked expensive, and the price below confirmed Tina's suspicion, yes, it was expensive.

"If it's because of the wedding dress, I think you should stay, I don't need such pompous decorations, what I need is that Lucy's dad can be with me and the child. ”

The two did not quarrel, very calmly analyzing what this job can bring, she was moved, it was true, but at this point in time, she urgently needed a sense of security, and it was true.

Her words made Leo hesitate for a long time, leaning against the shoe cabinet, rolling the magazine into a cylindrical shape and holding it in his hand, he was distracted, and a brainstorm was going on in his mind, weighing the pros and cons of this job, and in the end, the overstretched savings could not resist the temptation of high salary, eighty thousand a month, he wanted to try.

Eventually, he spoke, and Tina got a result that was a little disappointing to her, though she didn't get angry with Leo because he was leaving before the child's birthday and wedding, and it was for the sake of the family.

"I'll be back on time in a month, with that wedding dress, and be sure to give me a call when Lucy can talk if I can. ”

......

With a quick montage of editing, organizing tools, packing books, packing a change of clothes, and carrying an army green backpack, the foley caster is strong, and the sound produced by a series of actions is very clean and neat, without affecting the audience's cognition, all sounds are made to the most comfortable effect.

Eventually, under the watchful eye of his family, he wore a green bucket hat, a multi-pocket fisherman's waistcoat over his vest, and a well-fitting cargo pants and martin boots that looked very shapely.

He took off his sunglasses and hugged his family separately, Tina did not show excessive emotions, because in so many years of love with Leo, the two have been in a situation of getting together less and leaving more, and now he is leaving again, it is also reasonable, all she can do is to take care of the child while Leo is working, don't let him worry.

Looking at the child in Tina's arms, he stretched out his index finger and was held by the baby's small hand, feeling the temperature of his child, the corners of his mouth grinned downward, and it could be seen that he was also reluctant, and kissed Tina gently.

"Wait until I get back. ”

"Stay safe. ”

There was very little communication, but it was enough, and neither party wanted to make a short parting so sad, after all, they could meet again in a month.

After his family sent him off and put his backpack in the car, Paul sat in the main driver chewing gum and didn't dare to get out of the car to look at the child, after all, he wasn't sure if Tina would blame him.

With a final wave of the hand, everyone said goodbye, and the Wrangler slowly started, and the wheel began to spin, and soon disappeared from the sight of Leo's family.

......

"Gentlemen, the voyage is coming to an end, I'm going down, good luck!"

The roar of the helicopter muffled the roar of the pilot, and under the downdraft, even if there was a hat cord on his chin, the hat was easily blown off by the wind, but compared to Paul's embarrassment, his image was always good, at least he had a hat, so that his hair would not stand on end.

Because of the urgency of time, yesterday the National Geographic research ship had sailed out of the port and began to search for targets at a speed of ten knots per hour, so that Leo and they needed to rely on a helicopter to board the ship, with their bags on their backs, their right hand pressed their hats, and followed behind Paul, the two of them got off the plane with their waists, gave the pilot a thumbs up, and waited until the two were completely out of the propeller range, the wind rose again, and the helicopter was ready to return.

The total tonnage of the "Field" is about 3,000 tons, the displacement is 3,500 tons, the length of the ship is about 90 meters, the width is 16 meters, the draft is 5 meters, and it is equipped with a large number of cutting-edge equipment, such as scientific research fishing finders, multi-beam detection systems, shallow formation profilers, CTD temperature and salt profilers, etc., and the endurance can reach 15,000 nautical miles. ”

Leo looked at the hull of the ship, and Paul was in charge of explaining it to him, and it could be seen that Paul was very satisfied with the ship, the appearance was beautiful, the equipment was high-end, the rooms were new and clean, and it was undoubtedly the most comfortable to work on this kind of ship.

The two were chatting, a man dressed somewhat similar to Leo walked out, Paul saw this, quickly greeted him, after the two shook hands, he also introduced Leo to this man, he is the leader of the scientific research project Evans, he did not show the arrogance of the National Geographic employee, the attitude is not bad, invited the two into the cabin, took out the contract and signed it with the two, from this moment on, the two parties have reached a contract of cooperation.

This is not something that Leo is very familiar with, because although he has done a lot of scientific research, most of them are between the bay and the archipelago, and he follows a large professional newspaper such as National Geographic to the deep sea, and may even sail out of the route into uninhabited waters, and he has only been engaged in oceanography for nearly twenty years, only a few times, and does not have much rich experience.

Of course, that's why National Geographic was willing to hire Leo.

After that, Leo and the others left the room and took the initiative to get acquainted with the captain, first mate and other ship owners, but did not see the other members of the expedition team until a sailor was about to take them to the bedroom of the two, just as they passed by the deck, they suddenly heard a shout, and the two quickly paused.

"It's a whale!"

The photographer carried the machine and ran wildly to the fence, pointing to the huge figure that was about to surface and hurriedly filmed, and then a group of members of the scientific expedition team did not know where it came from, and it didn't take long for all of them to gather on the deck.

Whales will surface every ten minutes or so, of course, because of different types of whales, the duration of ventilation will be slightly different, but it is generally the same, so it is not a very rare scene to see whales ventilating after going out to sea, everyone is a practitioner of oceanography, it is not uncommon to see this kind of scene, but this time the target is whales, it will be exciting.

But when this whale just showed a small part, it already disappointed everyone, it was not the blue whale, not even the blue whale, but the natural predator of the blue whale, the killer whale.

It emerged from the deep blue seabed and spewed a stream of water several meters high, and the water droplets even sprayed onto Leo's body, forming a perfect rainbow in the sunlight.

A slightly lonely long roar, it jumped out of the sea level, revealing a white belly, smashed a wave, and even the boat shook gently, at this time, no one regrets that it is not the target that everyone is looking for, because every time you see the whale jumping into the water, it is a beautiful scene worth cherishing in memory, it is a treasure of nature, to see, it is already extremely lucky, what more could they ask for?

Perhaps, it is precisely because at a certain point in time, they witnessed this beautiful scenery, felt the shock in their hearts, and were moved in their hearts, so that they changed their dreams, so that some people are willing to endure loneliness, dare to die, to get in close contact with these mysterious animals in the ocean, and dedicate their lives to the ocean.

"I've seen whales ventilate many times, but every time I've been blown away. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Paul handed over the chewing gum, only half a slice, Leo didn't dislike it, put it directly in his mouth and chewed, the two leaned against the fence, looking at the sea that was gradually returning to calm, and was a little distracted for a while.

Only the captain and the crew continued to work, compared to the scientific expedition team, they seemed to lack a pair of eyes to appreciate beauty, perhaps because they had seen too many such scenes, which were no longer uncommon at the moment, or perhaps because they had been drifting on the sea all year round, polishing their appreciation and love for fish.

Not far away, the camera captured a white man about fifty years old, with long blond hair, draped over his shoulders, and a very muscular figure, but not as bloated as Fa Fu, his skin was a little red, holding a water glass with his back to the sea, looking at the camera and talking.

"Is it Professor Rons?"

The two quickly recognized the comer, Giles Rownes, professor of marine science at the University of Oxford, a leading figure in the industry, who had been working in the ocean for more than 30 years and had published many papers that caused a sensation in the industry, and even Leo, who had taken Professor Rowns' course when he was in school.

The two of them did not rush forward to say hello, they stood still and did not move, quietly listening to Professor Rownes's evaluation of the killer whale that had just been ventilated, his voice was very clear, and he was not disturbed by the sound of the hull breaking waves.

"Whale, what is it? I'm sorry I can't explain anything, even if I can call it in English, Spanish, Latin, or even Chinese, but if you haven't seen it in person, you really can't get a sense of what kind of creature it is. ”

"As you have just seen, they are treasures of the deep sea, wonders of nature, with the largest body in the world, and long enough lifespan, and that's all I can explain to you, and if you're really curious about whales, then you might as well come and see it for yourself. ”

After a few simple words, the camera paused filming, and Professor Rohns took a sip of water, and it seemed that the middle-aged man who was part of the expedition team was accompanying him, and the two walked in the direction of Leo.

Suddenly, Ron saw the two people standing by the fence, raised his left eyebrow, whispered to the ears of the expedition members, whispered who one or two were, and after getting the answer, he just walked to Leo's side.

"Zhang, and Griffin, aren't you? Welcome. ”

Ron was the first to reach out, his palm was large, thick, and the palm was red, as if it had been smeared with a layer of paprika, and when Leo held it, it felt like a hot iron fitting, and the heat was amazing.

"Hello Professor Rons, I have attended your public lectures in Oxford, and the knowledge you teach has had a profound impact on my career to this day. ”

Not only is it a compliment for the sake of eating, but also out of Leo's admiration for Rons, as he said, Rons's public class more than ten years ago really inspired Leo a lot, and gave Leo the courage to fight the ocean.

"Yes? Then we're really fated. ”

He smiled heartily, a man who was nearly sixty years old, but looked less than fifty, smiled and patted Leo on the shoulder, but the smile quickly disappeared, his face became serious again, looked directly into Leo's eyes, and whispered in Leo's ear in a small voice.

"Then I hope you can surprise me, during this time, bring up something professional, I'm looking forward to you arguing with me, that's all, good luck, Zhang, and Griffin. ”

"Have a good day, sir. ”

He left, didn't hold the water cup again, half a cup of water was splashed directly into the sea, and he didn't forget to shake off the water droplets that still existed in the cup, nodded lightly to the two, and left with the subordinates of the scientific expedition team.

"He's giving us a chance. ”

"I know, but I think it's better for us not to show this face, let's go, go and see our room. ”

Being able to analyze the situation with Professor Rones in the documentary is undoubtedly a face-revealing thing for a lesser-known scholar, but this is a double-edged sword, once there is a mistake in one's own analysis, it is difficult to support professionalism, it will cause countless peers to criticize, such a thing is not uncommon, and we have to analyze and debate together to see if we are qualified.

He put his arm around Paul's shoulders, picked up the backpack that had been on the deck again, nodded to the sailor, and followed the sailor into the lounge area.

......

In the following ten days, they encountered many whale groups, all kinds of whales, and even photographed a very rare humpback whale, but the huge blue whale never appeared.

A week later, the Field began a wide-ranging search of the observation circle at a rate of fifteen knots per hour, and on the tenth day, the observation circle was all searched, and the fish finder did not catch the slightest trace of the blue whale.

Thirteen days later, the expedition team began to panic, because the meteorological observatory informed that at the beginning of next month, a cold air flow will make landfall in the North Atlantic, which will cause strong thunderstorms and hurricanes of at least 10 degrees.

For the sake of safety, they must return to the sea at that time, otherwise a hurricane over the sea of Category 10 is not a joke, and the danger factor is quite large.

At present, it is certain that the whale must have run out of the observation circle, if you are optimistic and speculate, it may not have run out of the range of the course, passing ships may still be able to find its figure, but it is a little unlucky, ran to the uninhabited sea, is the most fatal.

Everyone can only pray that it is a good child and is still playing in the route, otherwise, this expedition that cost a huge amount of money will basically end in failure.

Seventeen days later, when the expedition team was in a meeting, the photographer looked at the nautical chart, yawned boredly, and suddenly the door was slammed open, and a sailor with a face full of ecstasy, stood at the door with one foot, and yelled at everyone present.

"I just received a radio from a container ship, in the southeast direction, more than 670 nautical miles away from us, and found it! The video was also received, with the scar of being bitten by a killer whale on its forehead, it is definitely it! That's right!"

"Nice! Evans, look at the route!"

"Outermost route!"

"Mr. Sailor, how long will it take for us to get to the location if we are going full speed?"

"Full speed can be raised to thirty-seven knots per hour, which is about sixty-six nautical miles per hour, and it is expected that the target will be reached in ten hours. ”

"Very good!

Ten minutes later, the Field began to move at full speed, and the expedition team began to make a plan, based on the average speed of the blue whale and the direction it swam, to calculate where the whale would swim when they reached their destination.

At the same time, Leo and the others also saw the video taken by the crew of the freighter, this time the video is more intuitive than the previous video, because this time it was only more than ten meters away from the ship when it was ventilated, and the huge body surfaced, almost one-third the length of the freighter, equivalent to more than ten stories high, such a shocking body size made Leo swallow his saliva secretly.

By the time the ship arrived at the target, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, nearly an hour later than expected, and the fish finder was turned on, and the sonar began to detect with high intensity, but it was still silent at the extreme distance.

This is not unexpected, as there are not many krill or fish for whales to eat in this area, and it will definitely not stop here to fill its stomach.

Then, according to the speculation of the experts of the scientific expedition team, everyone turned their eyes to the southeast, in the distance, the stars were all over the sky, and the sea level in the line of sight was still pitch black, without any light.

The sea water lapped against the hull of the ship, making a loud noise, and it was constantly stimulating all the nerves on the Field, arousing the deepest fears of mankind, the deep sea ahead, the uninhabited sea.

The unknown is the source of human fear, no one in the sea, there will be no ships passing by, no supplies, no rescue, walking here, it is equivalent to breaking away from human society, and only a small society can be formed by these people on the ship, becoming a proof of human wisdom in this sea area, and what they have to face is all kinds of unknown creatures, all kinds of inexplicable phenomena, all of which began to make Leo instinctively feel uneasy.

"Captain Glenn, is there enough fuel and supplies?"

"The supplies were only finished the day before yesterday, have you forgotten? It's enough for us to drive to the mainland in one go!"

"How long will it take to get back to land if you're going full speed?"

"Nine days! Not even nine days!"

"So what are you waiting for, let's go, while the storm and hurricane are still in the South Atlantic, let's go get that monster back!"

It was a conversation between Ron and Glenn, and the ship moved, running towards the darkness, no, it should be said, at this moment, they had melted into the darkness.

It's just a pity that three days later, they still didn't catch the whale, and Ron began to go berserk, he took the blue whale as an obsession, but reason was telling him, go quickly!

"Let's go home. ”

Ron gave the order, although he was unwilling, but this was the right choice, this sentence was said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that Ron was a madman, at this moment, time is not equal to money, equal to human life, not a second can be wasted.

But less than two hours after driving at full speed, Leo, who had returned to his bedroom to rest, heard a loud bang from the bottom of the boat, followed by a violent tremor.

He was awakened and came out of the bedroom, even forgetting to put on his shoes, and so was Paul, and in the cabin, everyone was speeding towards the wheelhouse, and they needed to know the situation, because it was so scary.

"What happened to Captain Glenn!"

"Wait a minute! The mechanic is investigating the situation, Smith!Smith, please answer it? Damn! Allen, check the radio! I can't hear anything!"

"Captain! The radio has lost its signal! I can't communicate with the outside world for a while!"

The radioman shouted in reply, constantly adjusting the frequency of the radio, and the sweat on his forehead poured out little by little, falling on the key, and he wiped the water marks with his trembling fingers.

"Captain, it's been checked, the engine is ...... Exploded six cylinders. ”

The mechanic ran up, panting violently, his chest kept rising and falling, and a sentence was divided into several paragraphs before it was fully expressed, but this news made everyone feel that the sky was dark for a while, and the timid were now sitting directly on the ground, and they had collapsed a little.

"Damn, didn't you say that this generation of engines is very powerful? How can anything fall on my head? Alan, what's going on with you?"

"I don't know, I can't even make a satellite phone. ”

The captain was complaining, constantly swearing, he had never had a few engine failures in his life, and as a result, at this juncture, he directly exploded six cylinders, such a big problem was fatal, but soon, he calmed down, gave instructions to the others, and comforted the members of the scientific expedition.

"Close those six cylinders, the other cylinders try to continue running, the power is lowered, adjust to the speed of five knots, Allen continues to adjust the radio, we may be on a certain metal vein, the signal is completely obscured, the cylinder explosion may also be the reason, just wait for this vein, first mate! Calculate how far we are from the route, it doesn't matter, as long as we can be rescued within nine days, this rainstorm can only chase after our butts, and watch us go ashore! We're going to have nothing to do, don't worry, I'll get you back to your wife in one piece, and now you can go back and rest, and the rest is done! Crazy boys! The long-awaited battle is coming!"

Captain Glenn was roaring, soothing people's hearts, and the crew's faces turned red in this roar, and they went up and challenged the coming storm, at this moment, none of the sailors gave in, and the members of the expedition could not help much, so they could only return to the lounge, praying that they could go home safely.

Five minutes later, the Field was moving again, and at a slow pace on its way home, everyone began to cheer, even if it was less than half the speed it had at full speed, and the uninhabited sea, which it had perhaps walked in three days, now took seven or eight days to return, but speed was no longer important, and as long as the ship could still drive, there was hope in everyone's hearts.

......

Seven days later......

Leo could already see the black cloud in the distance, in fact, it had been in everyone's sight since yesterday evening, and it was getting closer and closer, and it gradually caught up with its target.

The radios were still out of order, the cylinders were still stable, and they were still fleeing from the rainstorm at an unhurried pace, and at this moment, the wind and waves had become stronger, and the waves were not as big as ever, but they could occasionally slap above the red line of the hull, and on the deck, there were always water stains.

A large number of seagulls flew low above the water, occasionally staying on the fence, leaving the stumps of dead fish on the deck that had not been swallowed completely, and then spread their wings and flew away from the danger under the envious gaze of everyone.

“6454-1321-54216”

He dialed the phone, even if there was no signal on the phone at all, the result every time was that it could not be dialed, from the past few days after the burst, he would often think of Tina's original retention, he regretted it a little, but he had no intention of saying more, he could only try to dial the phone over and over again, fantasizing about whether his daughter would already call her father.

"Leo ......"

"Huh?"

Paul walked into his bedroom, sat down on the couch across from him, looked a little gloomy, took a cigarette out of his pocket, and lit it tremblingly.

"Dead. ”

"Who?"

"Martin, dive team. ”

"How did you die?"

"Committed suicide. ”

"How could it be ......?"

"Hell knows, the courage to play diving is not as big as those of us who don't go into the water, come one?"

Since Tina's pregnancy, he has quit smoking, but now he is not nervous, it is fake, he picked up one and put it in his mouth, and before he could light it, the lamp on the roof of the shed began to flicker rapidly, becoming bright and dark, like the voltage was unstable, and even like it was haunted.

"What's wrong with this!"

The shaking of the hull began to be violent, and it was possible to foresee how strong the wind and waves outside really were, and it could be ...... The waves were already on the deck, Paul cursed angrily, but still sat down on the stool and handed the lighter to Leo.

The lights went completely dark, the room was no longer bright, it became pitch black, Leo lit the lighter and turned on the lighter, and the only light that shone revealed the two of them's uneasy faces.

There was a cry outside the door, and everyone probably thought that they were going to be finished, although a hurricane would not necessarily sink the ship, after all, it was a very small thing, but all the unhappiness of this time at sea was all pressed on the chest, so that no one would doubt that they were about to face the shipwreck, and the tragic fate of dying in the ocean.

But then the lights came on, and cheers followed, and the sailors ran down the corridor, shouting: "The radio is available! We have been rescued! Four hours later, a ship will come to pick us up!"

It was definitely the most exciting news Leo had ever heard in his life, and he got up at the same time as Paul, opened the door, and shouted excitedly as he looked at the sailor who was about to run towards him.

"Really!"

"Really! A freighter is coming towards us! They're coming to pick me up......"

"Boom!"

There was another loud bang, familiar and unfamiliar, but louder than the same loud bang last time, and in an instant, Leo realized something terrible.

This...... The engine should have blown all out.

The violent vibration directly threw Leo to the ground, and in an instant, Leo felt that his eyes were a little black, and his vision began to blur, and Paul pressed on his body, which made it even more difficult for Leo to breathe, but it was all a small problem, but the sailor was not so lucky, the huge vibration and the lapping of the huge waves made his whole person fly, and smashed his head on the iron pipe beside Leo.

Blood broke Leo and Paul's faces, red warning lights flashed in the hallway, smoke rose from the cabin, and the foul smell of burnt tires was disgusting, and the two of them rolled and crawled, screaming so loudly that even the soul was scared away.

"Stop screaming! Run, it's going to be on fire!"

Someone grabbed Leo and Paul by the collar, pulled them up, and ran towards the deck with a desperate play, listening to the voice, like Professor Rons, but at this moment Leo and Paul didn't have time to confirm it.

It wasn't until he ran to the deck that Leo was sure that it was indeed Professor Rons, but the faces of the three of them were so dark that if they didn't look closely, they really couldn't see it.

The waves swelled and the hull began to shake violently, and everyone could only lie on the deck, trying to find a balance so as not to be thrown into the sea.

At the same time, people kept running out of the cabin, and after coughing violently, they also imitated the three Leo, lying on the deck and not daring to move.

"Don't lie on your stomach and pretend to be dead!

"The next fart sea! The waves are so big! Go down and disappear directly!"

"That's better than waiting on deck to be burned to death, or waiting to be drowned! The ship is leaking! There are twelve tanks left! It's all fucking blown up! There's a big hole in the bottom of the ship! The ship is fucking sinking in less than ten minutes!"

"I can't stand still!

"Alan, bring the fire hose here! Tie it to your waist! Enough lifeboats! Don't worry, everyone! Run! Hurry up! Otherwise, the air pressure valve will explode! Then we will see Jesus together!"

It didn't take long for the fire hose and the rope on the mast to be removed, and the sturdy dive team stepped forward to release the lifeboat, and when they were seated, they threw the rope back to the second person.

Soon, the rope was thrown in front of Leo, and he picked it up, tied it to his waist, and prepared to run to the lifeboat in one go, but halfway through, he was greeted by the biggest wave to date.

"Leo!"

He was directly hit and flew up, smashed on the fence, and suffered a sharp pain, but he could only endure the pain to get up, and before the next wave came, he successfully got into the kayak and put on a life jacket.

"You're scared me to death! If something happens to you, how can you tell Tina!"

"Don't fucking just in case, 10,000 is here, and you're still thinking about how to explain it? Maybe we'll both fucking confess here this time!"

"Say something nice!"

"I wish you a happy birthday!"

A boat of six people, a total of sixteen lifeboats, was lowered to the water, and as the waves gradually moved away from the Field, a drop of rain fell on their heads, and Leo looked up, and at this moment, the dark clouds had fallen on their heads.

Flames began to burn on the ship, and the raging flames blew up one piece of glass after another, and tongues of fire stuck out of the window and smirked at the people who were adrift in the wind and rain, and then there was a violent explosion, and as everyone had guessed, the air pressure valve exploded, and for a moment, all that was left in the ears of the people was a buzz.

Tightly pulling the handrail, and constantly taking advantage of the gap in the waves, splashing the sea water out of the kayak, wave after wave of huge waves not only makes it difficult for people to breathe, but even dizzy.

"Be careful!"

Leo's kayak, a person was knocked unconscious, the kayak followed the huge waves up into the air, and fell back to the sea level, this person was thrown out directly, Leo just watched him fall into the water, and then disappeared.

The death of one person after another in the sea is a great fear for all the living, who dare not look at it, but can only close their eyes and pretend to be deaf and dumb under the lightning and thunder.

Soon after, there were less than three kayaks left, but the storm was far from over.

"Woo......"

"What sound?"

He began to wonder in his mind, the voice was too familiar, like a ...... The sound of some kind of animal, his brain began to rac, and then he suddenly thought of something.

"Whale !!!"

He opened his eyes and looked down at the bottom of the sea, a huge figure floated from under the sea, with a lonely cry, spewing out a wave several meters high, and on his forehead, there was a scar left by the bite of other animals.

This guy is definitely more than thirty-two meters......

All sounds are gone...... Leo's last memory is that it jumped up from the sea, obscuring the moon, and he was in the shadows, looking at its white belly, and then ...... Three kayaks were crushed under it.

......
