Chapter 121: Big Ship, Sea
The crowd was scattered in all directions, Donald glanced at it, the number of people on the deck at this time was nearly 20 people, just as there were similar numbers in the cabin below, and counting the people who had not yet boarded the ship, there were 50 strangers on this trip.
"Hello, Mr. Gru, this is my ID. ”
While Donald was still looking around, Monsk had already found the head of the Abnormal Bureau on deck, Keeflin Gru, before him.
The title of the person in charge sounds like a mature and stable position that can only be held by a person with a certain reputation, but in fact it is just a name, and it is only a registration job.
Some merits can be obtained upon completion.
"Hello, Miro Mengsk...... Seconded to the Whale Island Research Team, the Robot Golem Quiz ..... It's a pity, if you can act with the team, you will definitely be able to help us a lot, the registration is complete, thank you for your cooperation. ”
Keeflin checked the roster in his hand, which contained some brief information about each person, including some special reasons.
Mengsk stepped back, and it was Donald's turn to show his credentials.
Donald Grant ...... Inscriptionist, oh~ You are this year's rookie inscriptionist? I have heard about you in the mouths of some friends, and I am very happy to meet you here. ‘
Halfway through the record, Kieflin suddenly looked up and said with some surprise, as if he remembered something.
"It's nice to meet you, this is my distant cousin, she will go to sea with me, I think it would be better to make a report. ”
Although the other party didn't seem to notice Lilo behind him at all, Donald didn't want to just fool the past, it would take two days to go to Phantom Island, and it would be better to make it clear now that he found out in the middle of the process.
"Huh, cousin...... I see, it's that if you go to sea with one person, your tasks will be a little heavier, and this is the list of tasks you need to collect. ”
Unlike the previous list in Monsk, the one handed to Donald was drawn from below, and the above paragraph was obviously nearly half the way through the top.
Donald took the list and was about to go back to his room to see where he would rest for the next two days, but Keeflin stepped forward to stop him.
"Something?"
Donald paused, asked.
Finger, who was in the backpack behind him, poked his head out, his front paws supporting the leather outside, resting his head on Donald's shoulder, looking at Keeflin Gru in front of him.
Lilo glanced up at Keeflin, then lowered her head to drink her lemon juice.
"We'll have a little meeting of our Anomalies later, to discuss what to do on the island, and we can get to know each other, and it would be nice if we could form a team, and we'll all be there, in the tavern on the first floor of the ship, around seven o'clock in the evening. ”
There are many teams within the Bureau, and in order to prevent the phenomenon of forming cliques, the Bureau itself rarely organizes some internal friendship activities, so unless they have had a previous friendship or have a relationship like Donald and Mengsk, even if they meet each other, they may not recognize each other if they don't show their documents.
The meaning of this small party should be the meaning of holding together, no matter how bad it is, you can get acquainted with each other, even if you can't be teammates after landing on the island, you won't bump into each other head-on without saying a word, leaving a little room for maneuver.
"I'll be on time, thank you for the information. ”
There is no reason to refuse such a party, this is a colleague party, and forcing it not to go will bring bad feelings, not to mention that Donald does not have much important things at the moment.
Knowing that Donald was willing to participate, Kifelin's mood was noticeably higher, and he returned to his previous position with a smile, and he had to wait for the other members of the Anomaly to come aboard.
"Remember to go to the deck when you sail later, since you are the first time to take this kind of big ship, you shouldn't want to miss the state when it starts, and then you can go to the storage compartment, which is the lowest level, to find me, I saw that you seem to be very interested in mechanical golems, and when you see those combat mechanical golems developed by Whale Island, you should be surprised." ”
Before parting, Monsk made a special reminder that he, as a logistics staff, naturally had to stay with the mechanical golems.
With his own key, he led Lilo down the deck stairs.
The layout in the cabin is less mechanical and harder than the outside, and there is more of a breath of life.
The corridor is lined with iris wallpaper on one side of the wall, and elaborate sconces are set up at intervals, turning the first corner, room 17.
Pushing open the door and entering, the rooms on the ship of this level did not disappoint Donald, the overall layout was not as good as that of a hotel, but not much worse than a hotel, except that the space might be tighter and not so much empty.
Two beds, a bedside table in the middle, and a bathroom on the side of the door.
"Exactly, two beds, which side are you going to sleep on?"
Holding the backpack in her hand and letting Finger jump out first, Lilo took off the backpack and walked directly to the window, putting the backpack on the ground and looking out the window at the sea.
"Then I'll sleep here, I guess the ship will leave soon, I want to take a look on the deck, do you want to ..... together There is a metal clasp on the right, undo it and push it out. ”
Having taken Finger into his arms and walked to the door, he looked back and saw Lilo, who was still standing in front of the round window and holding her hand against it, as if she wanted to open it violently, and hurriedly reminded her that if she let this slap go down, he would have to blow the sea breeze for two days.
The nighttime sea breeze is not so bearable during this season.
Letting go of her hand, Lilo left the window and walked to Donald's side, there was no need to open the window due to the wind blowing on the deck.
"You can't open the windows when you sleep at night. ”
Closing the door to the room, Donald decided to tell Lilo in advance.
"Why?"
"I'm not going to cover the quilt here because of the cold...... Even if you cover the quilt, it is estimated that it will be cold, and you will not be able to sleep, so you can't open it. ”
The bedding on this boat looks very clean, but after all, not those cruise ships are changed every day, and Donald has no cleanliness fetish, but he can't accept to cover a quilt with others.
"Then I'll wait until you're asleep. ”
Lilo is obsessed with blowing the wind at night.
"No, I'll wake up from freezing. ”
"Donald. ”
"Huh?"
"You can't stop me ......"
It's still the same upright girl as ever, no spells, just a competition of strength, ten Donald is not enough for Lilo to beat alone.
"I'm begging you, okay? When this trip is over, I'll take you to ice cream, the sweetest one. ”
"Oh. ”
Lilo answered and stopped talking, but her steps were inadvertently much lighter.
Once on deck, Donald found that quite a few people had gathered, mostly in groups.
I found a random spot and looked at the large mechanical disc that was still attached to the side of the ship....... It just looks like a disc from Donald's point of view, but it's actually a thruster with large spiral blades.
"Donald, what's that?"
Lilo pointed to an iron frame that looked like a triangle that protruded in the middle of the ship, and a roller nearly two meters in diameter at the top.
"This ...... I don't know, maybe it's used to stabilize the ship. ”
For these mechanical ships, Donald's cognition is only in sight.
Honk~~
A long, loud whistle sounded at this moment, and a sea breeze happened to blow on the sea in front of him, and Donald pressed his hat to prevent it from being blown up to the sky like the people next to him.
"Anchor !!"
Someone shouted over the radio, and a few sailors in short sleeves, with bulging muscles and strong bodies, trotted all the way to the bow of the ship, where there were two roulette wheels about a meter in diameter.
"Hey!hah.....
With a shout in his mouth, he grabbed one of the extended sticks of the roulette wheel and began to spin, and Donald took a few steps forward, and before he could get up to it, he heard the click of the gears meshing.
Learning from the people next to him, he generally probed out of the side of the ship, only to see the bow of the boat hanging down in front of him, and the iron chain with the thickness of the bowl mouth was slowly shrinking, and after a while, the sea water below gradually bulged.
The large black anchor broke through the water, and the sea water slid down its surface, forming a curtain of water, and when it fell into the sea, it made a rattling sound.
"Anchor Lifting~"
"Anchor Lifting~"
This ship has two iron anchors, so naturally there are two shouts.
"Propeller wings open!"
The voice on the radio came again.
Woo~
The next second, Donald heard the sound of the machinery running, and when he looked down, he saw that the propeller wings that were half submerged in the sea were turning out.
It was not until it was at a right angle to the hull that the sound stopped.
"Advance begins!
The whole ship began to shake at this moment, and Donald looked back at the stern, where the water was stirred up and the propeller wings beneath him began to sink until they were all sunk into the water.
2nd stage acceleration!
The whole ship suddenly rushed forward some distance, and the people on deck staggered again.
The sun shone on the splashing seawater, shattering into a golden light, and the sea breeze suddenly increased, blowing in the face, with a salty smell, but not annoying, but the whole heart began to drift, looking at the endless sea around it.
The taste of freedom and the taste of uncontrollability come to mind.
This state of affairs remained for about a few minutes before returning to normal, the whole ship had calmed down, and the sailors had begun to sit around chatting with nothing to do.
They were not surprised by these special guests on board, they were used to such voyages.
"It's beautiful......"
Donald looked at the sea, the blue ocean on a clear day and the seagulls flying up and down not far away, how many depressed thoughts would dissipate.
"Hmm. ”
A response suddenly sounded in my head.
Donald looked at Lilo beside him in some surprise.
She stared at the water, this was her first real voyage to the sea, and the funeral under the moonlit night was not counted before.
At this time, Donald couldn't help but think of a sentence: what can stop a man from running to the sea?
