Chapter 29: The Mirage
"Look!" Ye Wuxian said in a loud voice.
Shen Rui and Lao Pan hurriedly looked over, only to see a row of sand dunes faintly appearing in the red sunset, the wind swept the sand raging, and the clumps of dwarf vines blowing to the side.
"Mirage, it's really appeared!"
"The distance is too far, the big ship can't catch up, use a speedboat!"
Swish~
The three of them each took their equipment, jumped off the big ship, started the Mercury 30-horsepower diesel engine, and pounced on the mirage in the distance.
Of course, Shen Rui didn't forget to bring Xiao Ba, he was already lying under the iron-hulled boat, so he just had to move under the speedboat.
The speedboat rode the wind and waves, heading in the direction of the mirage in the distance.
As we all know, mirages are just some projected phantoms, Shen Rui and the three of them don't care about how the phantoms change, they just want to confirm one thing, the legend is that chasing mirages is very likely to see moving islands, and if you are lucky, you can even land on the island.
"There's an island there!" Shen Rui's eyes were sharp, and he found that there was an abrupt black shadow at the edge of a row of mirages.
The mirage that appears this time is a view of the sand dunes, with a whole row of sand dunes projected on the sea level, but if you look closely, you will notice that the view is slightly different from the outermost position on the right-hand side.
The structure of the sand dunes is sleek, and in the illusion on the right hand of everyone, there is a straight mountain that only sticks into the sky, and Shen Rui, who has extraordinary intuition, noticed the strangeness of this place at a glance.
Lao Pan hurriedly adjusted the direction of the speedboat, trying to get close to the unusual place in the illusion, the closer the distance, the more surprised everyone became, the mountain seemed to be approaching Shen Rui and them, becoming clearer and clearer.
The cliffs on the mountain are dwarf pines, and the flowing water and strange rocks in the valley are clearly visible, and the area of the island is becoming more and more vast as Shen Rui and them get closer and closer.
It's all even more magical than in the movies, and if you just watch it from a distance, you won't even notice that there is something different hidden in a row of mirages.
And as the distance approached, everything began to change drastically, and a real island leaped into view from the illusion, and even the roar of the mountains could be heard.
It seems to be extremely close to this legendary island, and at this moment, the sun has become more and more dim, and it is about to sink into the horizon.
Everyone was a little anxious, it was said that as long as the mirage disappeared, the moving island would also disappear without a trace, leaving Shen Rui with little time, and at the current rate, they would not be able to reach the beach before the island disappeared anyway.
Shen Rui gritted his teeth, the opportunity was in front of him, he would never give up, not to mention that there was Shen Rui's secret weapon Xiaoba hidden under the speedboat!
"Hachi! Full! Shen Rui shouted at Xiaoba with his spiritual strength.
Xiao Ba can squirt water forward, and after getting Shen Rui's order, the little guy immediately sucked a big mouthful of water, and then squirted out vigorously!
Sou~
Even Shen Rui didn't expect that Xiao Ba's water spraying technique was so fierce that he actually flew the top of the speedboat in one fell swoop! Leap through the air!
Bang~
After swooping for a few meters, the speedboat fell into the water again, and Shen Rui and the others had to hold on to the cables on both sides of the speedboat to avoid being overturned into the sea by the excessively violent propulsion speed.
Sou~
Without waiting for the boat to be stable, Hachi sprayed water again, pushing the speedboat up again.
This way of moving forward is so bizarre, it is like throwing rocks into the water to float, and a speedboat is extremely fast, jumping and jumping forward.
After the incident of the Suzuka Maru, Shen Rui has been letting Hachi absorb the electric energy carried by the submarine cable, how much energy Hachi has eaten during this time, even Shen Rui does not know, judging from the speed brought by Hachi's water spraying technique today, Hachi's strength has increased by no means a little bit!
Although Lao Pan and Ye Wuxian couldn't understand why the speedboat suddenly changed so quickly, they didn't have time to think too much at the moment, with Xiao Ba's full assistance, the speedboat was already extremely close to the moving island, and the beach and reef were close in front of them.
Sou~
Xiaoba rested for a long time, and there was no place to use the strength of his body, and he was urged by Shen Rui to be anxious, completely ignoring the bearing capacity of the fiberglass speedboat, and used all his strength to perform the strongest water spraying technique, wanting to directly push the boat to the beach.
Good fellows, this is not sailing, but flying! It was a boat with three people flying in out of thin air!
The ship was in the air, unable to adjust its direction at all, and crashed into a huge reef on the coast!
"Not good! It's going to be hit! Jump into the sea! Jump into the sea! ”
Lao Pan roared angrily, and directly picked up Shen Rui and Ye Wuxian and was about to jump ship.
At this moment, Xiao Ba is still under the boat, due to the line of sight, no one has ever found him, assuming that Shen Rui and the others jump ship, they will see a big black guy under the boat, and they can't scare a little white face like Ye Wuxian half to death.
Fortunately, Shen Rui's reaction speed was not slow, and he gave Xiao Ba an order to break away in advance, Xiao Ba kicked the hull of the boat with his flexible tentacles, and a fierce man plunged into the sea, and at this time, Lao Pan jumped off the boat with Shen Rui and Ye Wuji, and just didn't see Xiao Ba break away from that scene, only saw a splash on the sea.
Puff~
All three of them fell into the sea, and the fiberglass speedboat crashed headlong into the reef and shattered on the spot.
This is already within the confines of the island, and the water is just up to the chest, and the three of them inevitably drank a few mouthfuls of bitter seawater, got up and looked at the island.
The speedboat was completely finished, but fortunately everyone was unharmed, and they had managed to enter the confines of the island, and after a dozen or twenty paces of further walking, they could reach the beach.
"Let's go, let's go ashore first!" Lao Pan said in a deep voice.
He pulled Ye Wuxian and walked forward, while Ye Wuxian was holding his treasure box, as for Shen Rui and Lao Pan's packages containing survival materials, they didn't have time to take them, and they crashed away with the speedboat.
While leaving the seawater, Shen Rui looked around for Xiao Ba, this guy was clever, hiding behind the rocks and waving his tentacles at Shen Rui, which made Shen Rui feel at ease.
By the time the three of them reached the beach, the sun had finally completely set, and the sea was pitch black, and only the sound of waves crashing on the shore could be heard.
"No, we're facing Penglai City, we should be able to see the lights of the city at night, why is it dark?" Lao Pan frowned and asked.
Shen Rui pursed his lips and said, "Don't forget, this is an island that moves, maybe it has already moved by this time and taken us away." ”
Ye Wuxian smiled slightly, "Now you know that I am desperate to keep the benefits of my box, the box is equipped with a communicator and a satellite positioning system, as long as it establishes a link with the satellites in the sky, we can immediately locate our location." ”
Shen Rui frowned, he was very suspicious, when he jumped ship just now, Ye Wuxian desperately wanted to keep the box, what was it for these equipment? Or for the white chocolate in the box?
During this period of contact, Shen Rui had already discovered that Ye Wuxian had an almost pathological preference for white chocolate, not only did he eat a lot of white chocolate every day, but he also only ate the brand of Swiss Triangle, it is said that Shen Rui and Lao Pan were also Ye Wujian's friends, but they had never seen this guy take out his chocolate and share it.
Ye Wuxian quickly opened his treasure box, took out the handheld satellite device, and tried to establish contact with the outside world in the dark.
After a few minutes, Ye Wuxian said in an extremely desperate voice: "It's over, the equipment can't establish contact with the communication satellite, the speedboat is also destroyed, and we are already stranded on the island!" ”
