Chapter 76: Ghost Flower
Dr. Li was in a gloomy situation here, and when he saw Fang Jing's tugboat, his assistant shouted excitedly.
"Doctor, there's a ship coming! A ship is coming! It must be that Lao Wang moved and the rescuers came back. ”
Lao Wang is the middle-aged man who came to Fang Jing today, he and the only boat doctor on the ship escorted two injured divers ashore for treatment, and the boat doctor followed him to the hospital, he remembered that he saw a tugboat in the fishing village before departure, so he did not follow, but asked Fang Jing to go to sea with him.
Fortunately, Fang Jing was really enthusiastic, and without asking a word, he drove the boat to follow him out to sea.
What a warm-hearted and kind lad.
The archaeological team was not effective, and before the salvage work officially began, two experienced divers were lost, and now I don't know what the situation is underwater, and the weather is very cold at the moment, the supplies on the ship are not enough, and the staff on the ship have faintly feelings, Dr. Li is worried, and when he saw Lao Wang coming with a few young people, he asked people to put down the board, and let the enthusiastic young man Fang Jing and his two friends jump on the boat.
"Lao Wang, what are they?" Dr. Li looked at Fang Jing's eyes, not like an engineer from a shipping company, and couldn't help but be very puzzled.
"They are villagers from the previous village, and our boat motor can start, but the boat can't move, so I want to stop him from driving the tugboat and try it, as long as the boat can start."
That's really the way to do it.
It has indeed happened in the past, the ship is entangled in something under the water and cannot move, and as long as it is out of place with external force, the ship can work normally.
Dr. Li nodded, told Fang Jing about the general situation, and asked Fang Jing about the towing force of the tugboat, and felt that the towing force of Fang Jing's tugboat may not be enough, but now there is no better way, so he can only treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
There are staff on the boat driving a crane to fix the two boats with the tow hook, Fang Jing returned to the tugboat, started the tugboat, in the roar of the motor, the tug started slowly, and the sea stirred up a wave on the sea.
The huge ocean-going work ship shook twice under the force of dragging, the hull made a hoarse "crunch" sound, the sea water stirred, the giant ship rotated, and the hull started slowly.
Dr. Lee's face was beaming.
"It's done!" He shouted.
However, before the words could be spoken, after a violent jolt, the workboat stopped again, and stood motionless on the sea like a mountain.
Dr. Lee was in despair.
Fang Jing tried several times, but there was really no way to drag the behemoth, so he could only stop the boat and wave his hand to the opposite side.
"No, your ship is too heavy to tow." Fang Jing shouted.
"What then?" Dr. Li was about to go berserk, "Do you really want to leave the working boat and go back to the dock first?" ”
There were eight dinghys on their work boat, which was barely enough to remove the crew, but what about the equipment on board? He spent a lot of effort on those equipment, visited more than a dozen departments and begged his father to tell his grandmother that it was not easy for him to let the upper authorities allocate them, and he would never have left these treasures and withdrew to the land by himself, which was more uncomfortable than asking for his life.
Fang Jing had always wanted to get on the ship to see how these regular soldiers worked since he saw this huge work boat, how could he miss such a good opportunity now?
"Or I'll dive underwater and see what the hell the boat is entangled in." Fang Jingjian said.
Dr. Li glanced at him: "The diver has checked it several times, but there is nothing. ”
There is not even a root of algae, and the boat just can't move, it's like a supernatural event.
The hairs on Fang Jing's back stood up, thinking that it couldn't be another ship elf doing the trick, right? Obviously, the last time he fished for the shipwreck, there was nothing but pirates.
"It seems that only the engineers of the shipping company have come." Dr. Li frowned, his face was wrinkled like orange peel, and next to him, an older man with gray hair, was a little more calm.
"In that case, why don't you send divers down to investigate before waiting for the ship's personnel to arrive?" The old pedant Jian yì said.
They brought a total of 12 divers, two of whom were injured this morning and have been sent back to shore for treatment, and among the remaining 10 divers, there are six saturation divers who specialize in deep-sea operations, and now they don't even know the situation in the nearby seas, and the wreck is even more at a depth of several hundred meters.
Relying on these four divers alone, to find out this sea area, it will take until the Year of the Monkey?
Dr. Li, who was well prepared, did not expect that the first dilemma he encountered was the lack of manpower.
Fang Jing saw that the opportunity had come.
He looked around, and saw that the people on the ship were all around Dr. Li and discussing, only Lao Wang was squatting in the corner of the deck silently blowing the cold wind, so he moved to Lao Wang a few times and began to get close.
"You guys look like you're short of people."
Lao Wang turned his head and glanced at him: "Are you interested?" ”
Fang Jing squatted in a row with him, smiling so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows: "I'm a little interested, I want to see how your regular army salvages in the deep sea, and open your eyes." ”
Lao Wang looked at him suspiciously: "In the afternoon, I sent two divers with broken legs to your village for medical treatment, did you see them?" ”
Fang Jing nodded: "See." ”
"You're not afraid?"
One of them had both legs rotting out of his knees.
Yes, rotten......
It's like being corroded by something, even the flesh and bones are rotting together, the wounds are so hideous, and so much blood is shed, even if people are rescued, this life is a cripple, and they can only spend it in a wheelchair.
"What's so scary." Fang Jing said, "The first time I dived, I encountered a blue shark and almost died. ”
Even the ship elf has seen it, and he has fought with him, and he has also seen such a fantasy thing as the soul rising into the air, Fang Jing said that his nerves are so strong that nothing in this world can scare him, and he also has a powerful thug Cen Jiu, the blue shark he met last time is so fierce that his Xiao Jiu can solve it with a small dagger.
The secret guard is in hand, I have it in the world!
No matter what demons, monsters, spirits, and immortals, Cen Jiu can handle it alone.
Speaking of daggers, Fang Jing pondered, the curly-bladed dagger that Cen Jiu gave him last time was still lying in his drawer, why not find a chance for the teacher to take a look, and by the way, check what kind of metal it was made of, or find someone to repair it.
Anyway, it's also a token of love given to him by Cen Jiu!
"Sure enough, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers! Young man so daring! Lao Wang smacked his mouth, raised his hand and patted Fang Jing on the shoulder, and said happily: "Okay, I'll go and talk to Lao Li, although he has a quick temper and doesn't like outsiders to interfere in his work, but who makes him lack manpower now!" ”
Before Lao Wang's words fell, he felt that his claws seemed to be slapped on the stones, and he looked up, and when he looked up, he didn't know when a handsome young man walked behind Fang Jing, and his claws were just being held in the palm of his hand.
Cen Jiuyi pinched Lao Wang's fist, pushed it out, and said expressionlessly: "Speak well, don't move your hands and feet." ”
Fang Jing: "......"
Well, his housekeeper is really getting wider and wider now, but he is still handsome!
Lao Wang laughed, and ran to Dr. Li's side without care, I don't know what he said to Dr. Li, Dr. Li looked up at Fang Jing twice, nodded, and said, "Okay, one hundred and sixty yuan an hour, you can provide diving equipment, but you are not responsible for underwater safety." ”
An ordinary diver works normally for four hours a day, and the hourly wage of 16 is considered the market price, which is even much higher than the average diver's salary. Fang Jing originally just wanted to open his eyes and learn some experience, but he didn't expect that he still had money to take, which was very surprising.
As for security?
The world of the ocean is full of all kinds of dangers, even if the other party is responsible for underwater safety, what danger do they really encounter during the dive, just like the two divers before, their legs are broken, even if they are responsible for safety, what is the use? Will they be able to get their broken legs back? At most, it's just a little bit more compensation.
If he is a temporary worker, it is estimated that there will not even be compensation.
Dr. Li said to a tall young man, "Xiao Zhang, you are responsible for leading the team in the water this time." ”
Xiao Zhang nodded, and Dr. Li turned around and saluted the other party again: "You two newcomers, pay attention to Xiao Zhang's command, the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder can only last for an hour and a half, so no matter what you find, you have to return to the ship after an hour." ”
So temporary workers Fang Jing and Cen Jiu changed into diving suits with four other divers from the archaeological team, wearing lights on their heads. In light of the misfortunes of the previous two divers, each of them had a speargun in their hands as a weapon.
After entering the water, Fang Jing and Cen Jiu followed closely behind several other divers, carefully avoiding the reef and diving in the direction of the sea valley.
After diving down seven or eight meters, Fang Jing pulled Cen Jiu to deliberately fall a few meters back, quietly summoning water bubbles, enveloping him and Cen Jiu in it.
Cen Jiu already knew that Fang Jing had a magical diving equipment in which he could breathe freely, and he would not have the discomfort of tinnitus and dizziness after diving too deep underwater like before.
It was really a very magical piece of equipment, although he still didn't know what this magical equipment was.
At the beginning, Fang Jing really wanted to follow the other team members, but there were too many underwater reefs, and the undercurrents were rapid, and after avoiding several ocean undercurrents, Fang Jing found that he had lost contact with the troops in front!
The cold sea made the cold hairs on his body stand up, and a strange sense of fear that he had never felt before arose, as if something sinister and ill-intentioned was peeping and waiting in the dark.
Fang Jing turned his head sharply, however, there was nothing around except for the sea water and the occasional small school of fish swimming by.
Suddenly, Cen Jiu, who had been swimming beside him, pointed to the bottom of the sea not far ahead, and there was actually a flash of silver light.
How can there be white light on the dark seabed?
Could it be some kind of gem that fell to the bottom of the sea—this was Fang Jing's first thought.
Or was the helmet of the fierce ship elf glowing again--this was Fang Jing's second thought.
He touched Cen Jiu, stretched out his hand and pointed to the bright place, and gestured to Cen Jiu, meaning to go over and take a look, anyway, they have now broken away from the main army.
Cen Jiu nodded, holding a speargun in his hand, and took the lead in swimming towards the bright place.
After swimming for about ten minutes, Fang Jing found that the light seemed to be getting more and more passing, and it seemed to be hooking people and saying, "Come on, come here......
Fang Jing was stunned for a moment, all kinds of fantasy ghost stories suddenly appeared in his mind, and when he was hesitating, Cen Jiu suddenly moved, and the speargun in his hand was thrown down fiercely - in view of the strong resistance in the water, even a natural strong man like Cen Jiu, with all his strength, the speargun would only be thrown a distance of more than one meter.
Something fantastical has happened!
In the originally empty seawater, suddenly a ...... appeared like in slow motion Oh no, a whole chunk of stuff—
Fang Jing couldn't believe his eyes a little, because that large piece of stuff was too weird.
It was a cluster of plate-sized buds, yes, transparent budding bones, like ghosts, quietly waiting for the moment of blooming at the bottom of the sea.
Fang Jing: "?!! ”
Who will sue him, why are there flowers and bones on the bottom of the sea?!
If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a diving helmet, Fang Jing wanted to rub his eyes, it must have been that he had been diving for too long.
blinked, and looked again, the flower bones were still there, one, two, three...... Hey, it seems to have increased.
In Fang Jing's surprised gaze, a bud slowly opened up little by little, and the transparent petals bloomed little by little in the dark seabed, so beautiful that it was suffocating.
However, soon, Fang Jing felt that these beautiful transparent ghost flowers were not only suffocatingly beautiful, but also suffocatingly murderous.
The speargun thrown by Cen Jiu happened to pierce one of the ghost flowers, and soon, a burst of fine water bubbles bulged around the beautiful flowers, and a series of "zizi" sounds seemed to sound in Fang Jing's ears, and the speargun was actually eaten, dropped, and dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This, this, this...... What the hell is this!
Fang Jing had a husky expression on his face, and his brain was already a little insufficient.
The flower swallowed half of the speargun, and probably felt that the taste was not very good, the beautiful petals opened, and spit out a "eat" leftover speargun, and Fang Jing even automatically made up the "poof" sound of the speargun spit out from the petals.
An unknown big fish swam by shaking its head and tail and mistakenly broke into the territory of this ghost flower, and in less than two seconds, the whole fish was "eaten" by the ghost flower until only a skeleton remained, and soon the skeleton turned black, and finally turned into foam and disappeared into the sea.
Fang Jing was almost scared, if it weren't for Cen Jiu by his side, Fang Jing would even have the urge to throw down the speargun and turn around and run away.
Nima, what a wife...... It's terrible!
He was wrong! He reviewed!
What is a blue shark? What is a ship elf?
Compared to this ferocious ghost, the blue shark is simply weak, okay? The ship elves couldn't be cuter - they're still humanoid, and they're pretty humanoid!
Fang Jing only felt that his three views had once again been refreshed to the lower limit, which planetary plane was this murderous thing!
The devouring of the big fish seemed to be a signal, and the large flower buds suddenly opened their petals one after another—
It's a big deal.
