Chapter 19: Set sail
The Port of New York, the largest port on the East Coast of the United States. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info led Sasha, who had to come with him, and Li Yan came to the agreed dock early.
New York, which moved out of heavy industry, has regained most of its natural color after decades of natural purification.
The pure blue sky, the vast ocean, and the few white clouds dotted on the horizon in the distance. What was originally an ordinary scenery has become a beautiful scenery for countless tourists to linger and take pictures.
Looking around the dock, a beautiful shadow was instantly captured by Li Yan's gaze. With a grin on his lips, he pulled Sasha and walked over there.
"Guess you're here so early! What do you think? Have you all arrived? ”
"Why don't you walk silently! Surprise me! Startled by Li Yan, who suddenly appeared, Ruan Yumei patted his chest and said angrily: "Think everyone else is like you, sleeping lazy all day long?" Everyone has already arrived, and you are the only one missing! ”
"Huh, huh? I thought I was here early! Being damaged by Ruan Yu's eyebrows, Li Yan scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"Humph! Too lazy to pay attention to you! ”
Ruan Yumei rolled her eyes, glanced at Sasha on the side, and said in a strange tone: "I'll enjoy it!" Don't forget to bring a big beauty with you when you go to sea! How? Do you think this is a vacation at sea? ”
"Ahem, what are you talking about! I just don't worry about her being alone in the hotel! After the inexplicable friction the day before yesterday, Li Yan shifted to the topic with interest, "What about the others?" Why didn't I see them? ”
"They're on board to get out to sea!" Pouting, Ruan Yumei didn't hold on to this topic anymore, turned around and said, "Let's go!" I'll show you about them! ”
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Li Yan didn't know what was going on, and when he met Sasha and Ruan Yumei, he always had a feeling of being caught cheating, which made him feel empty in his heart, and he didn't have the slightest confidence to refute.
Following Ruan Yumei, Li Yan turned a few piers and boarded a rather large salvage ship.
Because it is necessary to load a lot of professional salvage equipment, the salvage ship is generally modified from a larger ship.
After signaling Li Yan to wait where he was, Ruan Yumei got into the cabin and called out the crew inside. They were brought to him and introduced one by one.
"This is the captain, Lawrence, who has more than 30 years of experience in submarine geophysical exploration and salvage, and I spent a lot of money and grinded for a long time to invite him!"
"Hello, Captain Lawrence! I'm Li Yan, thank you for hosting this salvage event! I can't thank you enough! ”
"I can't talk about any thanks, since I have taken your payment, I will definitely do my best!" Lawrence is a white-haired white old man, and his cheeks, which have been blown by the sea breeze all the year round, are quaint and full of wrinkles.
However, a glimmer of light occasionally flashed in his sharp eyes, but it allowed people to get a glimpse of the strength and unyielding in his heart.
"This is First Officer Goode, Second Officer Allen, Mechanic James, Navigator ......"
"Hello, I'm Li Yan, thank you for your help in this event!"
Including the professional surveyors who followed, there were a total of thirty-seven people on board. After Li Yan got to know each other one by one, he let everyone return to work.
He followed Lawrence and walked around the big and small corners of the ship, got a general understanding of the various functional areas of the ship, and finally came to the captain's room.
Glancing at his watch, Lawrence asked, "Boss Li, can you set sail now?" If it's any later, I'm afraid that the weather will change and affect our sailing schedule. ”
"No problem! Let's set sail! ”
Lawrence, who got Li Yan's consent, nodded his head, turned around and walked out to arrange the voyage.
Within a few minutes, with a loud whistle, the salvage ship shook slightly, and began to slowly sail out of the dock under the guidance of the navigator.
After a slow drive of more than ten minutes, the salvage ship moved away from the busy shipping lane near the port. The driver, who no longer cares about the danger of colliding with the ship, is at full speed and speeds towards the predetermined sea area.
Saying goodbye to Lawrence, who had returned, Li Yan took Sasha to Ruan Yumei, who was discussing things with the surveyors. Said hello and called her out.
"What for! Don't you see I'm busy! Glancing at Sasha next to him, Ruan Yumei's heart burst into an evil fire for no reason, and his tone was stiff.
"Well, I'm that, by the way, I'm here to thank you. If it weren't for your busy greetings these days, I would never have found such a professional team! ”
"Humph! You still have a little conscience! After hearing Li Yan's sincere thanks, Ruan Yumei's tone softened slightly, and she said: "They are all known to me during my previous internship, and their professionalism and quality are all top-notch in the industry!" It took a lot of effort for me to ask for help! ”
"In short, thank you for your great kindness! Wait until it's over! I thank you again! ”
"Okay, just write some blank checks and say nice things to coax me!" Waving his hand angrily, Ruan Yumei said, "Is there anything else?" If it's okay, I'm going to get busy! ”
"Well, it's okay! You go get busy first, I'm leaving. ”
In Ruan Yumei's resentful and angry eyes, Li Yan said a few words, and soon became defeated, hurriedly said goodbye, and fled.
After inquiring about the location of the room, Li Yan walked in with Sasha. The simple and simple furnishings, although a little simple, have a strong maritime atmosphere.
Small ornaments made of shells, fish bones, conch shells and other objects are placed in every corner of the room. Due to the need for fire prevention, many tables, chairs, doors and windows that should have been wooden have been replaced with metal.
Li Yan and Sasha are both from ordinary people, and they don't pay much attention to these things outside their bodies, as long as they can be used. After a cursory appreciation, Li Yan lay down on the bed.
Glancing at Sasha, who was still full of interest and playing with those small ornaments, Li Yan's consciousness shifted, and he said in his heart: "How about Tony, the route they set is fine, right?" ”
"No problem boss, according to this route, it is expected that in two days, we will be able to reach the sea area of the wreck."
"Oh, I'm relieved!"
Tony is the second ghost summoned by Li Yan, and one of the crew members killed on the gold rush ship "Zhongmei". Just now, Li Yan borrowed the effort of thanking Ruan Yumei and asked Tony to take the opportunity to check the route they had set in case there was any deviation.
Originally, a revenant soul like Tony could not be separated from Li Yan's body. However, because the Book of Life and Death had absorbed Sasha's virgin yin qi before, the seal had been loosened, so it was barely possible.
However, as soon as he thought of the strange solution of the book of life and death, Li Yan felt that his head hurt. The book of life and death, which was originally extremely sacred and high in his heart, was dragged down from the altar by him with a chirp and fell to the ground fiercely.
"Hey, you can only take one step at a time, it's a big deal to summon the revenant soul slowly, and you can also break the seal!" Shaking his head vigorously, Li Yan sighed helplessly.
"Huh? What do you say? Sasha, who thought he was talking to himself, put down the conch in his hand, turned his head to Li Yan and asked.
"It's nothing, just talking to yourself!" Li Yan waved his hand, got up and sat up, "Sasha, do you have any dreams?" It's the kind of thing that you've been longing for for a long time and you're determined to achieve. ”
"Well, my previous dream was to marry a Chinese man who was good to me and took care of me. After being sold into the Red Pharaoh, his dream became to regain his free body, as for now......" Looking at Li Yan in front of him, Sasha suddenly blushed and kept silent.
"Why don't you say it? What now? What has become of your dream? ”
"This is my secret, I can't say it casually, otherwise it won't be realized!" Sasha shook his little head and asked rhetorically, "What about you?" Do you have a dream? ”
"Absolutely!" Pulling Sasha into his arms, Li Yan smiled evilly: "My dream is very simple! And the most beautiful woman, live the most luxurious life! ”
"Hmm~ Don't ......"
