Chapter 758: Landing on the Island
Driving in the thick water vapor like reaching out and not seeing five fingers, Gao Longzang and the others couldn't see anything clearly. Gao Longzang also felt strange: if it was such a thick water vapor, he should have seen a misty fog in the distance. Could it be that there is a mirage-like refraction of light? If that's the case, it's even more bizarre.
At this point, the unexpected, but rather disheartening, news came that all the precision equipment had failed.
The three Praetorian Guard soldiers who were driving the boat were once again helpless to rush into each other.
"Last time, we were lucky enough to walk out of the fog area by mistake. I don't know how long Lu Dao will go around in this time......"
"What the! Obviously, it was only a kilometer away from the target at most, but it turned out that this kind of happened again. ”
The three of them were complaining, and the sea Jiao next to them said calmly: "So, if you keep driving in a straight line, you can't do it?" ”
The sailor shook his head and said, "Everything has become strange." Although it feels like it's going in a straight line, I'm afraid it's actually going around in circles all the time - you don't feel it when you change direction slightly, but you end up going around in a big circle. ”
Haijiao nodded and said, "It is estimated that it has something to do with the problem of water flow." Well, let's just stop the boat now. ”
Stop? Waiting? The three who drove the boat were a little stunned. However, considering that several of the other party were from the headquarters, the ship was stopped without commenting.
After the boat stopped, the sea dragon and the sea lion went into the water one after another, and after going down, they cruined forward and backward for a while, and they still pulled the thin rope connected to the boat.
After a while, both of them got on the boat, and after talking to each other for a while, Haijiao said, "The current is indeed a bit of a problem, it may flow around the island." In fact, even if we park the boat here, the boat should be drifting slowly, but the amplitude is so light that we can't feel it. If it takes a long time, the ship will probably circle around the island. ”
Gao Long hid this unprofessionally, so he didn't speak, just listened quietly on the sidelines.
As a result, the move that made Gao Longzang speechless appeared-
Haijiao disembarks and swims, sensing the direction and speed of the ocean current, and guiding the boat to move slowly forward, so as not to go in the wrong direction.
However, when you get off the boat and swim for a while, your body will become less perceptual with fatigue and coldness, which is difficult to detect in the first place.
Therefore, Haijiao led the way less than 100 meters and returned to the ship to rest. As a result, he, along with the sea lion and the seal, took turns leading the way in front.
Gao Longzang felt that if he hadn't brought these three guys over, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to approach this small island at all. That's where professionals come in, and a lot of times it's not like you can fight to decide everything.
However, Gao Longzang also noticed that the level of sea Jiao and sea lion leading the way is relatively high, but the seal kid is slightly worse (of course, it is still eight times stronger than the average sailor). After he led the way twice, Haijiao had to correct it a little more after he went down.
Fan Dongliu seemed to understand Gao Longzang's doubts, and said, "Among the three of them, the sea Jiao and the sea lion have the best water nature. As for the seals, they are better at underwater fighting, and they have their own specialties. ”
Gao Longzang nodded: "The Praetorian Guard Bureau is really full of talents, and all kinds of talents are emerging in an endless stream. If you make good use of it, how can you allow the rivers and lakes to confront each other. This kind of energy is definitely suppressive. ”
Fan Dongliu smiled and pursed his lips, saying in his heart that this kind of thing is a matter of the upper level, and it has nothing to do with them, and he can't interfere with it. But fortunately, your father seems to be a bold man, and he is estimated to give full play to the energy of the Praetorian Guard.
The three of them swam very slowly, less than 100 meters each, alternating back and forth several times. In addition, there are times when the direction has to be corrected, so the overall progress is even slower. Although I couldn't see the outside, judging from the deepening of the darkness, I was afraid that the sun outside the fog had already sunset below the sea level.
And at this moment, Gao Longzang's phone rang - it was Xia Huju calling!
In this strange place, every call consumes extremely power, so after contacting the Praetorian Guard headquarters, and the fact that it has been a few days since the Night God Hou came in, her phone is already out of battery. Fortunately, Xia Huju's mobile phone can still make two more calls.
"Brother." Xia Hu spoke, first making sure that it was indeed Gao Longzang who was holding the mobile phone opposite. This kind of action is very careful, but when dealing with urgent, difficult, dangerous and heavy tasks, a little more caution can lead to an extra life.
"Where are you?" When Gao Longzang heard that it was Xia Huju, he immediately asked eagerly, "Now that we are approaching the island, it is estimated that we will be able to arrive in ten minutes." Where are you going? ”
Xia Huju: "This one who can't see his five fingers, how can there be any exact direction." However, the Night God Marquis and I have been on the edge of the island, and you should be able to join us if you just walk around the edge of the island, which is not very large. By the way, we have a two-person boulder next to us. ”
In the case of not being able to locate accurately, this is also the only stupid way - the Night God Hou and Xia Hu sat quietly somewhere on the edge of the island, while Gao Longzang and the others, who were full of physical strength, circled around the island.
The island is only about a kilometer in diameter, and it takes three or four kilometers to go around it. For the physical fitness of Gao Longzang and others, it is not tired.
After agreeing on this, both parties turned off the phone, so as not to waste electricity in vain. And at this time, the ship finally approached the island!
At the same time that Haijiao was leading the way in the water for the last time, Gao Longzang's sharper eyes saw a black shadow in front of him - an island!
The shadow was so hazy that they had even approached a distance of thirty or forty meters before they saw such a black silhouette.
"Moored on the shore?" Gao Longzang asked.
The seal shook his head: "Since there is visibility within thirty or forty meters, then we should step back and move a little farther away, so as not to be seen by the other party." This ship is a retreat for us to retreat, and it must be protected. ”
After saying that, the seal burrowed into the water, and I don't know what method Lu Dao used, presumably to fix the anchor in the crack in the stone of the shallow bottom. So, although the ship is still floating on the sea, at least it will not be swept away by the current, which means that it has been waiting for them here.
After fixing the boat, Gao Longzang looked ahead, and just couldn't see the dark shadow of the island. Then, if there were enemies on the island, the boat would definitely not be visible.
At this time, Fan Dongliu said: "The six of you are waiting on this boat to pick up. I swam to the island with the Great Master to rescue the Shenhou and the Tiger. ”
"Let's go too." Haijiao said.
Gao Longzang smiled, and said with a smile while wearing a special diving suit: "I can't swim, you can't fight—we are working together." Besides, you're here to keep us alive, man. ”
They also smiled. "You can't fight", these words came out of the mouth of a "great grandmaster", obviously without any deliberate contempt, just a small joke to ease the tension.
