This cruise ship is not very large, with two floors and can only accommodate more than a hundred passengers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself, my name is William, I am the captain of this cruise ship, I am very happy to be here, I hope we can have a wonderful time. "After the cruise ship launched, a bearded middle-aged man came to the deck and introduced himself.

It's not that far from the North Pole, but it's not close, and it takes about two hours to reach the North Pole at the speed of a cruise ship, with the option of enjoying the sea view or moving around in the cabin.

Usually first-time people come by boat will enjoy the scenery outside, but most of them will not last long because it is too cold, and the closer you get to the Arctic Circle, the cooler it will be.

Ye Xingzhi felt that it didn't matter, the cabin was too noisy, and it was not bad to blow the sea breeze quietly on the deck, although the air was relatively cold, but with his current cultivation, he could basically ignore it. Ye Xing stood in front of the guardrail like this, looking into the distance.

"Alone?" After a short time, a middle-aged man came to Ye Xing's side. He wears a very thick cotton coat, which gives people a very easy-going feeling.

Ye Xing glanced at him, then nodded slightly.

The middle-aged man took out a box of Liqun from the pocket of his coat, took out one and handed it to Ye Xing.

Ye Xing originally didn't smoke, but he subconsciously took the middle-aged man's cigarette.

After the middle-aged man helped Ye Xing light a cigarette, he also lit one himself, took a few puffs suddenly, and swallowed the smoke before he spoke: "Later, are you going to get off the boat?"

Ye Xing also took a puff of cigarette and nodded: "How do you know?"

"Nine times out of ten, people who come here want to get off the ship, who just wants to stay on the boat. The middle-aged man smiled.

"But I'm alone. Ye Xing glanced at the middle-aged man. Before boarding the ship, the staff in charge of checking tickets and checking documents will specially remind that those who come to travel in the name of individuals are not allowed to get off the ship, and explain in advance to avoid making trouble after getting on the boat. You will also be sent a tourist brochure with a lot of precautions clearly written, and it is also emphasized that you are not allowed to disembark.

There are many people who don't understand, saying that it is the collusion between the captain and the travel agency, and the kickback of the travel agency, so that everyone wants to go to the North Pole and get off the ship, so they can only go with the group, and cannot travel alone.

This situation cannot be said to be none, but the vast majority of cruise ships actually depart with the safety of tourists in mind.

It is certainly very unsafe to be alone in the Arctic, if you are coming with a group, the travel agency will naturally be responsible for something, but who is responsible for something else. Some tourists may say that I will be responsible for what happens, but if something really happens, it's not that simple. If a tourist dies in an accident, the family will definitely be responsible for the cruise ship.

"But, I saw another person in your eyes, a very beautiful lady, right?" The middle-aged man smiled at Ye Xing, and the deep brown eyes unique to the people of the rice country were very bright.

Ye Xing was slightly stunned, and asked curiously, "How did you see it?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "When everyone comes here, they basically want to go to the North Pole to see the ice and snow, so they will come in groups, and there are not many people who come alone." And now, the scenery on the ocean is not very beautiful, how cold, everyone is drinking and chatting in the cabin, but you are standing here alone, looking into the distance, looking very lonely. However, I feel that you are not lonely, but missing. ”

"Looks like I'm going to treat you to a drink. Ye Xing smiled slightly, he didn't expect to meet his bosom friend here.

"My name is Kate. The middle-aged man held out his hand in a friendly manner.

"My name is Ye Xing. Ye Xing also stretched out his hand.

The cruise ship is divided into two floors, with an entertainment area above and a lounge area below. If you want to drink, chat or eat, go to the entertainment area, and if you want to rest, or feel unwell, you can also go to the rest area below, but the rooms in the rest area are charged, so it is generally not seasick or unwell, and few people go below.

"Two glasses of whiskey. "People in the United States like to drink this kind of foreign wine, since Ye Xing has a treat, he naturally can't order liquor, and besides, he may not be able to order liquor here.

"Kate, I look at you, you seem to have experienced a lot, would you like to share it with me?" Without similar energy, Ye Xing would have found it hard to believe that this Kate could see through him.

Kate took a sip of whiskey, her gaze drifted a little, as if she was caught up in the memories of the past, and only after a moment did she speak: "My wife died three years ago......"

"Is it in the North Pole?" Ye Xing asked.

Kate nodded: "Three years ago, we went to the North Pole, I didn't expect to meet a few polar bears, unfortunately they seem to have not eaten for a long time, my wife and I kept running away, but in the end we were trapped by them, and my wife sacrificed herself in order to save me." I'm such a useless man. ”

Kate said as she drank the remaining whiskey from her glass. Ye Xing could clearly feel his sadness.

"Today is the third anniversary of my wife's death, and I plan to return to that place to pay homage to my wife. ”

Ye Xing had the heart to persuade Kate, but he didn't know how to speak, since Kate came to worship his wife, it proved that he had not forgotten his wife.

"What about you, why did you come to the North Pole alone? Seeing that Ye Xing didn't speak, Kate took the initiative to ask.

Ye Xing paused for a moment and said: "I'm in a similar situation to you, I have a girlfriend who loves me very much, but she didn't die, she just disappeared in the North Pole, and the purpose of my coming to the North Pole this time is to find her." ”

"I'm sure you'll find it. Kate said this, but in her heart she thought the opposite.

If a person goes missing in the Arctic, it is more difficult to find him than to find a needle in a haystack, because the environment and living conditions here are relatively harsh. Looking at Ye Xing's appearance, it has obviously not been a day or two since his girlfriend disappeared, and even if he can find it, most of it can only be a corpse.

Although Kate thought so, but he didn't say it, he felt that it was better for people to still have some hope, and he didn't want Ye Xing to be so desperate like him.

"See the woman over there talking to the captain?" Kate looked at the captain.

Ye Xing followed Kate's gaze and saw that the bearded captain was talking to a woman about forty years old at this time.
