Chapter 274: A Signal from the Bottom of the Sea
The captain who served as the yacht pilot was John's daughter and her name was Bernice.
Like her father, she was an avid sailor. It is precisely because of this that although he has blonde hair peculiar to Caucasians, his skin is tanned.
The yacht is fast, sailing at 50 knots per hour over the waters of the Hauraki Gulf in the direction of Grand Baril Island.
Looking back, the silhouette of the pier has disappeared from the sea level, and only a few black spots soaring in the sky are visible.
"Wow-hoo. ”
Indulging in the free and fresh air, Liu Yao excitedly threw off her white shirt and stood on the edge of the deck, shouting loudly into the distance.
Of course, she was wearing a swimsuit that she had changed into in the hotel.
"Be careful not to fall. Jiang Chen looked at her lively appearance and couldn't help but smile.
"Hehe, if I fall, will you come to save me?" Liu Yao said mischievously.
"Of course," Jiang Chen said with a wicked smile, "but I heard that there are sharks in this sea, but I don't know how many can be saved." ”
Trembling exaggeratedly, Liu Yao jumped down from the edge of the deck and gave Jiang Chen a strange look.
"There are generally no sharks in the Hauraki Gulf, but there are quite a few dolphins, and if you're lucky, you can even see whales. But if you go to the sea north of Little Baril Island, you can't say for sure. Bernice, who was sitting in the cockpit behind the two, overheard their conversation and couldn't help but explain to them with a smile.
Surprisingly, this foreigner named Bernice actually spoke Mandarin, although he was not very fluent, but the basic communication was no problem.
It seemed to understand the surprise in Jiang Chen's eyes. Bernice smiled and explained. "My boyfriend is Chinese, and he made my Chinese language. The pier also has a lot of Chinese tourists. Generally, when Chinese tourists go to sea, I am the captain of the ship and the tour guide at the same time. ”
"Where are we now?" Liu Yao craned her neck, raised a hand to block the sun, and looked ahead excitedly.
"We're already northwest of Port Jackson, 16 nautical miles from Grand Baril Island, where there's a nice undersea reef to see. ”
"How much longer?" asked Liu Yao impatiently.
"At the current pace, it will be there in about 20 minutes. Bernice laughed.
"I'm looking forward to it," Liu Yao looked into the distance wistfully. Immediately, he hugged Jiang Chen's arm again, and said coquettishly, "Can you take a picture for me?" I want to take a photo with the clownfish. ”
"No problem. Feeling the friction of 36D, Jiang Chen smiled.
"Hee-hee, my husband is the best, Momoda. Liu Yao winked playfully.
Jiang Chen smiled and was about to tease her. But at this moment, there was a vibration in the forearm of his other hand.
The epicenter is from the EP.
Is there anything urgent in the last days?
"What is this?" Liu Yao looked at Jiang Chen's forearm curiously
"A special kind of electronic watch, I go to the bathroom. Jiang Chen explained casually. Then he walked into the cabin.
Although she had some doubts, Liu Yao didn't ask too much and stayed outside with interest.
Entering the cabin, Jiang Chen immediately opened the EP. Start the newsletter.
"Strange. Looking at the snowflakes on the screen, Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
It's not a communication from the end times.
The four-dimensional transmitter receives the Craint particle wave, but the wave signal cannot be restored to a video signal by the decoder.
"Is it because the signal is bad?"
The signal is getting weaker.
Looking at the snowflakes that are getting lighter and whiter. Jiang Chen suddenly realized something and quickly rushed out of the door.
"Bernice. Stop the boat, stop the boat. Pushed open the cockpit door. Jiang Chen hurriedly said.
"What's going on?" the eager voice startled Bernice, who was sitting in the cockpit, and subconsciously slowed down.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Jiang Chen's appearance, Liu Yao, who was standing outside the cockpit window, also looked over puzzled.
Jiang Chen didn't explain, glanced at the screen of the GPS navigator, and glanced at the route he had just passed.
"Let's go back about a nautical mile. ”
"Go back?" Bernice looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, "but there's nothing there." ”
Hearing Bernice's question, Jiang Chen instantly calmed down.
He was now certain that there must be something hiding at the bottom of the sea. I don't know what it is, but it's definitely related to the Craint particle.
But how could there be such a thing in this world?
No matter what is hidden, it must not be known to others.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen glanced at the screen of the GPS navigator, silently noted down the approximate coordinates and directions of this sea area, and then changed to a relaxed tone and smiled.
"Nothing, just a dolphin spotting, but it's definitely gone now. ”
"Dolphins?" Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Bernice was stunned, then smiled with a sigh of relief, "When you get to the sea near Big Baril Island, you will see a lot of those cute little guys." ”
Seeing Jiang Chen's eagerness to rush into the cockpit, she thought that something was wrong with the yacht.
I didn't expect it to be just a few dolphins.
"Really? That's really looking forward to it. Jiang Chen also smiled and left the cockpit.
Seeing Jiang Chen come out, Liu Yao greeted him worriedly and asked with concern.
"What's going on? I, I see you're in a hurry."
"Nothing, just a few dolphins all of a sudden. Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Although she could keenly feel that Jiang Chen was not telling the truth, Liu Yao just smiled and didn't say anything to dwell on this issue.
If Jiang Chen was willing to tell her, then he would naturally tell her. If you don't want to tell her, then even if she asks, she will only seem to be annoying.
"Really? That's a pity, I want to take a picture with the dolphins. Hugging Jiang Chen's right arm, Liu Yao pouted playfully
The 16-nautical-mile voyage soon came to an end.
The waves are covered with white flowers, and where the waves meet the sea and the sky, a beautiful shadow gradually floats.
When she saw the verdant vegetation and the seagulls soaring on the shore, Liu Yao cheered happily again.
Throughout the afternoon, the two spent diving near Great Baril Island, posing with adorable dolphins, hanging fish from the deck, playing underwater with clownfish hiding among sea anemones, and frolicking among colorful corals.
Time passed quickly, as if it was just a blink of an eye, and dusk crept in.
After watching the sunset on the deck of the yacht, Jiang Chen urged Bernice to start sailing.
Although he wanted to play at sea for a while, because he was thinking about his thoughts, Jiang Chen did not choose to stay at sea, but directly asked Bernice to drive the yacht back to the Hilton Hotel.
With the help of the hotel staff, Bernice docked the yacht to the edge of the steps.
"Wouldn't you stay a little longer? You've been renting for a day, and it's a great feeling to spend the night on a yacht. Looking at the two who got off the boat to say goodbye, Bernice couldn't help but ask.
"No, I suddenly remembered that something was wrong, so let's go back first. Declining her offer with a smile, Jiang Chen took Liu Yao's hand and returned to the hotel.
He was now desperate to know what was buried in the waters northwest of Port Jackson that he had just passed.
He had a hunch that maybe that thing had something to do with that video. (To be continued......)
