The elite team that protected them not only increased in number, but also became better equipped.

Xiao Ling saw some heavy weapons, including the powerful Barrett sniper rifle, and even the M72E series 84mm rocket launcher, which could hunt even the largest creature in the ocean, the blue whale, when it came.

After Xiao Ling understood, he finally understood why before leaving, Zhou Kesheng was full of confidence, thinking that this trip to Guiru was not too dangerous.

Because they had made all preparations in advance this time, Sun Tao was confident that he could deal with any danger.

Although the "Discovery" sailed into an unknown sea, fortunately, Captain Cao Zhiren did not find out what he was worried about, and the rest of the road was safe, only encountered a relatively short period of heavy rain, not a dangerous tsunami, and three days later at night, the distant sea suddenly fogged.

Xiao Ling was chatting with him in Zhou Kesheng's room, Zhou Kesheng was making coffee, and Captain Cao Zhiren suddenly knocked on the door, indicating that there was something to report.

After Zhou Kesheng let him in, Cao Zhiren reported with some excitement on his face, according to the somewhat worn-out hand-drawn nautical chart that Zhou Kesheng gave him, they would soon approach the ruins marked on the map.

"Oh?" Zhou Kesheng's expression moved slightly, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”

Xiao Ling walked out with him and Captain Cao Zhiren.

"It's foggy, it's foggy." Jiang Hongtao, the first mate of the "Discovery", was also on the side, busy walking over to report.

In just a short period of time, the fog rises on the sea surface ahead, completely enveloping a sea area in the distance, and the searchlight sent out by the "Discovery" hits into the sea fog, and the light is blocked.

"Are you sure the ruins lie ahead?" Zhou Kesheng looked at Captain Cao Zhiren.

Cao Zhiren nodded and said, "Old Zhou, we can't make a mistake." ”

Zhou Kesheng nodded, Cao Zhiren is an old captain with rich experience, I believe he will not admit his mistake, turned his head to look at the first mate Jiang Hongtao who was standing on the side and said, "Go and inform Professor Li Zhibao of them." ”

"Yes." The first mate turned and entered the cabin.

Zhou Kesheng picked up the telescope and looked into the thick fog in front of him.

Xiao Ling stood beside him, only to feel that the fog was very thick, spreading extremely fast, and soon there was a mist floating on the deck, in the night, this situation was not only rare, but also faintly with a hint of danger.

Xiao Ling had developed an instinctive vigilance against danger, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart, but he couldn't see the miserable white hand, and he didn't know if there would be danger.

"Something is wrong with this, Captain Cao, have you ever encountered sea fog like this before?" Xiao Ling had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he was busy asking Cao Zhiren, if such sea fog was common, it should not be unusual.

"Mr. Xiao, sea fog is not unusual, but it is very rare like tonight, at least I haven't encountered ......"

Cao Zhiren replied very politely, although Xiao Ling was young, he saw that Xiao Ling had been following Zhou Kesheng these days, and Zhou Kesheng was also very polite to Xiao Ling, Cao Zhiren saw it in his eyes, guessing that Xiao Ling should be a big man, and he didn't dare to slack off on Xiao Ling's inquiry.

In the cabin, Professor Li Zhibao, Hu Shengzhe, Wang Lei, Yu Tingting, Pang Yan, Wang Haiyang, Guo Zhenwei and Sun Tao walked out one after another.

After them, Qin Yang also walked out with a few team members and stood around.

On the deck, the fog was foggy, and for a while, everyone's vision was seriously blocked, and they could only see the faces of people three or four meters away, and further away, it had become foggy.

"Old Zhou, do you want to stop the boat first." Cao Zhiren saw that the fog was getting bigger and bigger, and his face was very uneasy.

Zhou Kesheng frowned, asked Cao Zhiren, and after making sure that the front was the ruins marked on the map, he shook his head and said, "You don't need to stop completely, slow down, just move forward slowly." ”

Cao Zhiren could only obey his orders.

"Elder Li, the front is Guiru." Zhou Kesheng handed the telescope in his hand to Professor Li Zhibao.

Hearing that there was the legendary ruins ahead, everyone's faces showed solemn looks.

Sun Tao summoned all the team members, and everyone was fully armed, loaded with guns, and guarded all around.

The fog was thick all around, and all the headlights on the bow of the "Discovery" were turned on, shining far into the oncoming dense fog, and everyone boarded the bow of the ship, looking into the distance, hoping to find something.

Xiao Ling looked around while looking up at the sky from time to time, in case a big white hand would appear.

As the Discovery slowly approached, the fog became thicker and thicker, and in the fog, there was darkness all around, and it seemed very silent, and there was no wind to be heard, and no waves crashing against the hull could be heard.

"Look, what's that?" Suddenly, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and pointed towards the dense fog in the distance.

Xiao Ling's physical fitness is now several times that of ordinary people, and his eyesight has also been strengthened, seeing farther and clearer than ordinary people, and he was the first to notice that a bright light appeared in the dense fog.

The others heard Xiao Ling's words and looked in the direction he was pointing, but they couldn't see anything, Zhou Kesheng hurriedly picked up the binoculars.

"Huh? A lot of luminaries? What are those? Zhou Kesheng frowned.

The Discovery did not stop, and continued to slowly drive into the dense fog, entering the area marked by the hand-drawn nautical map belonging to the ruins.

Soon, the others also made discoveries, in the dense fog in the distance, there were luminous bodies, these luminous bodies, flickering bright and dark, flashed in the dense fog, very strange, gathered together, appeared sparkling scales, magnificent wonders.

"What are those luminaries?" Pang Yan was curious and hurriedly picked up the camera, wanting to capture this scene.

Guo Zhenwei, a marine biologist among the crowd, said: "If my guess is correct, this should be a school of light-eyed fish gathered there." ”

"Lamp-eyed fish?" Pang Yan looked at Guo Zhenwei, and Xiao Ling also heard this name for the first time.

"Yes." Guo Zhenwei nodded and said: "This light-eyed fish is also called a flash fish, there are two eyelights under the eyelids, which can emit bright light, speaking of which is a very rare fish species." ”

Pang Yan asked with some curiosity: "Why does this light-eyed fish shine?" ”

Guo Zhenwei smiled slightly: "The light source of this light-eyed fish is actually the hundreds of millions of bacteria that grow on its head, and these bacteria rely on it to survive by absorbing nutrients and oxygen from the fish's blood, even if this fish dies for a period of time, it can still continue to glow." ”

"It was regarded as a mythical fish a long time ago, and even now it is still a relatively rare fish, and I am a little surprised that I didn't expect so many light-eyed fish to gather here."
