Chapter 9: The Ghost Ship
At this time, Li Green Ant also went ashore and said the matter specifically, in general, it is not much different from the one provided by Wogua, that is, the entrance is a huge mountain wall, and the mountain wall retains a thin slit like a line of sky, which is very long, through the thin slit, it came to another world, but obviously has not seen another world, and as a result, there are countless tornadoes of all sizes in front of the water tomb, as if it is a natural barrier to protect the water tomb, otherwise any creature approaches, but anyone who approaches will be twisted into pieces.
Looking left and right, "Why is it just the two of you?" What about Zuo Lao and Shen Yunyun? ”
Mentioning these two people, Qin Pianpian and Wang Blind glanced at each other, and explained everything to the beginning, and was afraid that a few people had not paid attention to Shen Yunyun, Qin Pianpian also urged Wang Blind to tell Shen Yunyun's fortune telling before.
After a long time, several people who got the truth were dumbfounded.
It's only been down for half a day, why is there so much happening on this shore?
Su Jiu hurriedly entered the cabin, Luan Jingjing immediately entered the wheelhouse, and then turned wildly in the cabin, and hurriedly came out, saying in unison, "No, really no." ”
Luan Jingjing spoke first, "Sure enough, all the information about the tomb is gone, what can I do?" ”
"All the food and water is gone."
Li Luant took a heavy breath: "This time, I was blind." "The most fundamental reason for Li Luant's determination is because Zuo Fu reported to his home and said that he was a former member of the Snow Leopard Commando, so that he could unload his heart, because since he was a member of the Snow Leopard Commando, there would be nothing strange about him, but I didn't expect that he took advantage of himself-
As for that Shen Yunyun-
"Is there anything else that has disappeared?"
Luan Jingjing and Su Jiu shook their heads, and Li Luant said, "I drew the map, but if there is no Luan Jingjing and the information you brought, I can't find out which is the right way and which is the fork in the road, I can remember everything I wrote, can you remember?" ”
Luan Jingjing was not quite sure: "This- I can't remember everything, I can only remember some." ”
It's good to remember some.
As for food and water, "I could have made another seawater distiller, but for food—"
Jin Ingot suddenly smiled "hehe", lifted the deck, and took out two large packs of compressed cans and biscuits, as well as compressed bread from below the deck, "I'm afraid that the food you will distribute at that time will not be enough to eat, and I will hallucinate again if I am hungry, but now it's okay, knowing that what I saw before was not an illusion, this handsome is also relieved." ”
…………
This unexpected joy really eased the atmosphere of anxiety, but it also brought a conclusion.
Sure enough, Nie Fengshui's death, the loss of water sources, and the destruction of the seawater still on the bow of the ship before were all done by them, and the most important map also fell into their hands, so doesn't it mean that there is no hope for their group?
Looking at the depressed crowd, Li Luant suddenly stood up, "The food of the nest melon can solve our urgent needs, I will make a distiller as soon as possible, and then we will wait for enough water to be stored before we set off, although there is no map, but as long as I enter the mausoleum, I will not let the people who are still alive be harmed, if someone withdraws at this time, after we get into the water, just wait for us to come back on the boat, no need to go down with us." ”
There are clues about his father and the father of the gold ingots in this mausoleum, and he will go down no matter what.
After hearing these words, everyone raised their hands in response, no one said anything about leaving, Li Luant said to Wang Blind, "This time you saved Pianpian, I am very grateful to you, it is not right for us to tie you up, I guess you also know what we do, so even if you escape now, those people will go to you after they come out, only by the protection of the Snow Leopard Commando, and when we come out, we will take you to the team leader, before that, you stay on the boat and wait for us to come back, you don't need to risk yourself, which way do you choose?" ”
Of course, Wang Blind was not stupid, and resolutely chose the latter path, Li Luant assigned the task, and everyone immediately started their respective work in an orderly manner, Luan Jingjing smiled bitterly: Sure enough, in the end, he was better than himself as a team leader, although Li Luant said that he didn't want to fight with himself, and he was also a team leader in name, but he was already in name only.
Several people worked hard for about two days, and finally got enough pure water for all the members of the sewer, and after distributing everything, because this time the backpack was also waterproof, Li Luant observed the celestial phenomena, but suddenly showed a look of jealousy on his face.
What can make Li Luant feel jealous must be extraordinary, Luan Jingjing hurriedly asked, Li Luant shook his head, "We must leave here before 12 o'clock tonight, the blind man wants to sail the boat away from this sea area, because——"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Pianpian and Wogua had already put on their diving suits, and walked out with a big grin, seeing that several people were also ready but refused to move, which was a little strange, but the sea began to fog at this time.
Not good!
Li Luant looked at Luan Jingjing: "What time is it?" ”
Because his watch is not waterproof, it has already been put in his bag, and Luan Jingjing has a walkie-talkie there, so he can also know the time.
"I'll see, eleven fifty-nine - "look up" will be twelve o'clock soon. ”
The fog on the surface of the sea suddenly became very strange, and it only rolled towards this area, like a white man-eating monster.
Li Luant exclaimed, "Quick, quickly sail the boat out of this sea area!" ”
What's going on?
Seeing Li Luant's expression, everyone was very strange, but still according to Li Luant's request, hurriedly began to sail away, it was Su Jiu who drove the boat, Li Luant was on the deck, watching the approach of the dense fog, more and more like a purposeful and conscious omen, even more anxious, and rushed to the wheelhouse, "Why is the ship still not moving?" ”
"I don't know why, just now the propeller couldn't move as if it was entangled in aquatic weeds anyway, it could only start, but it couldn't move forward!"
Oops, the worst fears are still here.
Li Luant took a deep breath: You can't panic, you can't panic, the more you can't panic at this time.
"I'll go into the water first, and you must drive away as soon as I untie the debris wrapped around the propeller, don't wait for me!"
As for why? Li Luant was silent, but he didn't say anything.
When Li Luant was about to jump into the water, Luan Jingjing suddenly stopped him, "I'll go down." ”
"No way!"
"Why not?"
Li Luant subconsciously wanted to say: Because you are a woman, and I am a man, but Luan Jingjing cross-examined, "Is there any difference between everyone here?" And Li Luant, don't forget, I, Luan Jingjing, am the team leader, since you are a team member, do your duty as a team member, don't point fingers here! ”
After Luan Jingjing finished speaking, she "plopped" into the water, Li Luant stayed for a while, the meaning of what Luan Jingjing said just now must not be that meaning, but she expressed it in this form, showing that in his heart, his weight is also heavier than anyone else, this woman!
Since Luan Jingjing has gone down, Li Green Ant will not jump down like a stupid hat, the surrounding fog is a white monster, hideously scattered, the fog at first glance looks like just an ordinary fog, everyone will think so, even the gold ingots don't understand why Li Green Ant suddenly seems to be a different person after looking at the stars, but what Li Green Ant said must have his truth, everyone thinks so, suddenly the radio light that Luan Jingjing handed over to Li Green Ant before going into the water suddenly turned on, and the finger and minute hand "clicked", It came to a heavy stop at the 12 position.
This time is 2001, the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, 12 o'clock Beijing time.
This day is known as the Obon Festival, the Midyear Festival, and perhaps a more popular name - Halloween.
That's right, Li Luant happened not to notice this before, but he watched the sky tonight, wondering if the tide of the water would change, so that when passing through the channel, maybe through the small difference in the change of the tide, so that he could calculate a safe value, so that everyone could wipe the safe range of the underwater whirlpool, but he didn't expect to see the amazing fact that it was 12 o'clock at night, which was Obon.
On the day of Obon, all ships on the sea will not go to sea, because there are folk customs and regulations, on this day, all the things in the world are not in the yang world to borrow the road to pass, and it is very common to see unclean things wandering in groups on the road, because these things are generally suspended, and they will use the waterway more to take advantage of this, so this day seems to be the eruption of tsunamis and tides, which are the reasons for the Yin soldiers to borrow the road.
And thousands of kilometers under everyone's feet, there is Fan Li's tomb standing quietly there, that Fan Li is a person who can give advice to Gou Jian, his tomb, even if it is buried underwater, how can you imagine that no one will steal it? must have been mentally prepared, and this day is still Halloween, so it is even more powerful.
The anxious Li Green Ant and the unaware people had their own thoughts, and Li Green Ant looked at the cab from time to time: Isn't it okay? Why isn't it good yet? It's almost too late!
The white fog is like a beast that is more powerful than the darkness, and the ship is enveloped tightly at once, and there seems to be a dormant impermanent ghost in the fog who wants to rush out anytime and anywhere, at this moment, hearing the sound of the diesel engine "clicking" like a cough, Su Jiu's face was happy, "Okay, okay, you can move!" ”
That's great.
Su Jiu wanted to wait for Luan Jingjing to come up and open again, but Li Luant's face turned pale, "Do you want this boatload of people to die?" Get out of the boat, I'll go to the sea to find her! ”
After getting this reply from Li Luan, Su Jiu also nodded heavily, and hurriedly drove the boat forward to ride the wind and waves, Li Luant fell into the water not far away with a "plop" at this time, and quickly rowed towards Luan Jingjing's direction, but he searched all around, and did not find Luan Jingjing's shadow at all.
Odd? Just now untied the shackles of the aquatic plants, then Luan Jingjing should swim back quickly, no matter how bad it is, she should wait in place, why is she missing now?
Li Green Ant had a bad feeling in his heart, but at this moment, a boat floated from the white fog and came "whirring", looking up, Wogua and the others were looking over with an anxious face, and they were very shocked to see Li Green Ant.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to stay on the boat and hurry up?! ”
Wogua was very aggrieved, "We're leaving." ”
Su Jiu couldn't believe it, "In such a short period of time just now, we have rushed out thousands of miles, how did you catch up with us?" ”
Li Luant was inexplicable: "Didn't you drive around and come back?" ”
"Impossible, the ship is going in a straight line, how can it come around?!"
Li Luant was startled, and looked at Wang Blind, Qin Pianpian and Wogua, all three of them nodded affirmatively, and several people realized one thing at the same time: It's over, there is something in this white mist that doesn't want them to rush out, and they have encountered a ghost hitting the wall.
"Wait, these things don't count, where did Luan Jingjing go? Didn't you go to her? ”
Li Luant's face also turned pale, "I searched around after I got into the water, but I didn't see her shadow, and in an instant, you drove in front of us, I-"
Everyone was at a loss, and at this moment, they heard the sound of what seemed to be the "squeak" of an old windmill, and it seemed to be the footsteps of someone stepping on the old plank, and a strange wooden boat swayed from the white mist, why did it say that the ship was strange, because although the hull was broken, it was hung with sails, and the white sails were as white as new, which was completely different from the hull. What's even more strange is that both inside and outside the ship, there are many barnacles and mosses densely attached, and it is not strange that the barnacles and moss grow outside the ship, which is the reason why the hull is soaked in water, but it grows in the cabin-
Could it be that the ship had been submerged for 20,000 miles in the sea for a long time, and only recently was it artificially floated? The traces of this moss can't form like this without more than 20 years, it's really hell.
Everyone looked at it in horror from a distance: this boat was twice as small as the fishing boat where several people were, it was a tattered wooden boat, a boat that could not walk in a straight line in a ghostly fog, and a wooden boat that suddenly appeared and was soaked in moss for thirty years, it was not a good kind by any means.
But there seems to be only one boat around, and the boat "stabbed and pulled" sounded, as if the waterline of the hull was not deep, and it often scraped the reef and touched the injury, and the swaying "click" touched the fishing boat, and suddenly stopped steadily, which seemed to say "invite you to visit".
Qin Pianpian's face turned pale, covering Li Luant's arm, Li Luant pursed his lips: Luan Jingjing disappeared inexplicably like this, it must not be ignored, the source of the whole thing comes from this strange white mist, and then this boat came, is Luan Jingjing here?
was about to go in immediately, Qin Pianpian hurriedly shook his head, "Don't go in, it's dangerous." ”
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, what if Luan Jingjing goes inside in a panic? I have to see. Brushing away Qin Pianpian's arm and resolutely entering, Su Jiu rushed out from the cab with a gun, "I'll go in with you." ”
The hull of the boat is unexpectedly light, stepping on it as if stepping on oiled paper, making people feel like they are floating on the water, not to mention the equipment and small oxygen tanks behind the two of them, which makes people even more trembling and walking on thin ice.
But the plank of the ship only "squeaked" and barked, and there was no tendency to disintegrate and fall, Li Luant held a searchlight and cautiously poked in.
The distance between the ships was not far away, but the fog was so thick that people on the boat standing on this side could only see two shadows moving vaguely.
The light of the green ant seemed to have been eaten by a monster in the thick fog, and it couldn't shine far away, and the "creaking" sound of the wooden planks combined with the sound of cautious footsteps made everything look terrifying and terrifying.
However, thinking that Luan Jingjing might be here, there was no time to be afraid, the deck was naturally empty, and in the middle of the ship was a concave cabin-like setting, very narrow, unobstructed, and there was no Luan Jingjing, because there was no shelter, so the people on the other side of the ship could clearly grasp where they were going when they saw the figure.
Jin Ingot was very cowardly at this time, and actually grabbed Qin Pianpian's sleeve, don't look at this little girl who was weak when Li Luant was there, and after Li Luant left, she was as fucking as King Kong Gourd Baby, tiger and tiger, which made Jin Yuan full of security for her.
"Fortunately, we can see their three shadows here, otherwise we wouldn't be able to control any emergencies if anything happens to the three of them."
Three?
Qin Pianpian took a breath: "Didn't Su Jiu go up with Li Luant just now?" Where did the three people come from? ”
"It's useless for you to pinch me, you count it yourself, isn't it just three shadows?"
Qin Pianpian suddenly shot out with a powerful flashlight, and finally saw the vague outline of the outer mold ten meters away, "One, two, three." "Wogua aggrieved" Look, I didn't lie to you, I said three - "don't" three? yes, aren't there two people going up? Where did the three come from?? ”
The third shadow was different from the two shadows, because although Li Luant and Su Jiu walked straight, they carried a small oxygen tank and backpack on their backs, so their backs were arched like a hunchbacked person, and there was an extra piece, while the shadow of the third person was serious, and his back was empty, and there was obviously no trace of carrying things.
"Quick, shine everything that glows at the shadow of the third person!"
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly took out their flashlights, and listened to Qin Pianpian's command to shine them out together, but when they saw it, five kinds of light of different intensities stared at one point and suddenly lit up, and even Li Luant and Su Jiu, who were walking in front, were startled and turned around, but they saw an extremely frightened scene.
"Nie Fengshui ?!!!"
The people on the two ships took advantage of this incomparably strong light to see the truth of this superfluous shadow for a moment, but when they saw that the bare skin of this shadow was covered with dense fish scales, and the eyes were hideous, all of them were black, and they looked at everyone viciously and viciously and grinned, and suddenly stunned all eyes.
"No, this thing is not Nie Fengshui!"
Li Luant shouted, picked up a wooden board nearby, and slowly retreated: Qin Pianpian is right, how can this thing be Nie Fengshui?
