Chapter 3 The sea is indeed deep

While remembering his faces, the words of his classmates also penetrated into his ears. Zhang Ming has a good talent for language, probably thanks to his super memory. He took German as an elector, and taught himself English, French, and Japanese in five Chinese, so many words did not sound difficult for him. In addition to topics such as academics and travel perceptions, the most discussed questions by students are their own wonders, such as why do you want to concentrate in Puerto Rico? Why not take a plane and take a boat to Atlanta instead? Emphasizing the fact that you have to carry the tourist cap provided on board with you, what is the rationale, etc.

Zhang Ming, who turned around, felt an uneasy atmosphere on the boat.

Just as he turned to his classmates, someone slapped him on the back:

"What are you doing idiots?"

You don't need to look at Zhang Ming to know that it is Jiang Rui. This girl is just as Ye Ling said, she will fight with him whenever she has the opportunity along the way, especially since she can know what is going on in other people's minds, and she has already figured out how to fight back before the words come out. Zhang Ming was both afraid and helpless about her.

Jiang Rui's words caused the classmates around her to laugh.

Zhang Ming ignored Jiang Rui and said to the other students: "Many people talk about hats. Don't you think it's strange to emphasize that you carry a hat with you? Is a tourist cap important? ”

Liang Yihe, from the same school, said: "Maybe foreigners like tricks, and the hat thing may be a gimmick." ”

Another classmate said: "This journey is a bit strange, but if you come here, you will be safe, and you will ruin your mood if you think too much." ”

Just as the ship was sailing into the afternoon of the next day, something strange happened, no, it can't be said to be strange, but disaster came! First, the whistle roared urgently, and then the eager voice of the general leader came over the radio: "The ship is in distress." Wear your hats and get on deck! He quickly repeated it over and over again in various Chinese dialects, accompanied by a whistle "whining", which caused everyone to panic.

When Zhang Ming ran onto the deck, there were already many people standing on the deck, and the panicked cries and shouts were overwhelming. Zhang Ming saw the boat spinning in the sea, as if there was a huge whirlpool in the sea, which was sucking the giant ship down. As the ship circled, he was surprised to find a huge object swimming around the ship in the sea, black, like a fish with wings, but its wings did not flap.

The legendary Bermuda mystery has fallen on his head. Zhang Ming sadly realized that all the coincidences had been smashed on his head from the beginning, and it was really no coincidence!

Leave it to fate. In the vast sea, what is the way for the shipwreck, there may be many ways to escape in distress on land, and in the sea can only look at the ocean and sigh. Zhang Ming pulled the travel hat out of his pocket, since it was repeatedly emphasized on the radio to wear it, whether it is useful or not, let's put it on, anyway, I will see the king of Hades in a while, and I don't care about wearing more hats.

Sure enough, the unusual tourist hat, buckled to the head, the hat stuck to the head, the wind was very strong on the rotating boat, the hat was not tightly fitted on Zhang Ming's head, it should be said that it was bigger, but the wind could only blow the brim around the hat, and the hat was firmly attached to the top of the head. There is also a strange thing: when the hat is buckled on his head, there seems to be a needle-like object piercing the top of his brain in the middle, which makes Zhang Ming grin in pain, but the pain passes in an instant.

Without further thought, the situation was getting worse and worse, and people could barely stand properly on the deck, and many people ran back and forth screaming as the hull leaned to the left and right; The person who holds the side of the ship clings to the railing for a while, and then straightens his body and leaves the side of the ship when his hand loosens slightly. Fortunately, Zhang Ming was holding a pillar, and the impact was not too great, and he only occasionally circled around the pillar.

The boat spins faster and faster, and it is estimated that the crew will not have time to release the lifeboat and liferaft and other things seen in the movie, and even if they do, they will be in vain, and they will spin in the whirlpool. The whirlpool is like a huge tiger's mouth, and if anything falls on it, you don't even want to jump out, only be swallowed by it.

The giant ship finally sank into the sea amid a cry of grabbing the sky and the earth.

Zhang Ming can't swim. Instinctively, he closed his eyes and tried to float to the surface to take a breath of air, but his mind waited quietly for death to come.

After taking a few sips of salty and astringent seawater, he suddenly felt that the seawater was no longer pouring into his mouth, and he could actually breathe air! As soon as the brain gets oxygen, the mind becomes normal. He opened his eyes in astonishment, and found that he was still in the middle of the sea, and it was sinking rapidly, and the pure water around him and the many sunken peers in the sea were vivid, but it was like a layer of transparent glass. He was surprised to find that except for a few people who were floating on the surface of the sea with their hands and feet, most of them no longer struggled, and stayed in horror in a transparent cylinder that looked like creatures in amber.

Only then did he remember: when he was digging and kicking with his hands and feet just now, the travel hat on his head seemed to have changed, and a force fell downward, restraining his moving body as it fell, that is, it breathed air when it fell. Now he must be like them, living out of an amber man.

Needless to say, the tourist cap works!

Zhang Ming was very strange, such a strange tourist hat was unheard of, and its technological level was completely beyond his cognition. It is no wonder that the team leader has to emphasize over and over again that the travel hat must be carried with him, otherwise he will face a very serious punishment. Yes, the punishment was severe, so severe that it cost lives! As far as he could see, there were at least three people lying on their backs and sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Zhang Ming began to explore the transparent objects that wrapped around his body. When I touched the top of my head, I felt that there was a layer of glass, and I couldn't reach out my hand. Exploring up and down, left and right, this thing is in the shape of an inverted cone, the head part of the space is the largest, the lower the body, the smaller it becomes, to the soles of the feet, only the length and width of the foot. He finally understood that this transparent object was tightly wrapped around him, and the sea water could not enter at all, and there was no vacuum inside, and the air inhaled into his lungs was rich in oxygen, and there was no discomfort at all. Looking out, everyone was sinking at a surprisingly consistent rate, as if they were obeying a silent command.

A white man closest to him said something to him in the hood, and Zhang Ming couldn't hear a sound. The white man's teeth were very neat, surprisingly straight, and Zhang Ming had never seen such straight teeth. Seeing that there was no response to what he said, the white man shrugged his shoulders again, spread his hands and spoke with his body, indicating that he could not understand. Zhang Ming was still puzzled from his hair to his toenails, and replied to him with the same action. The white man smiled, reached out and patted the wall of his cover, picking out a thumb and shaking it at Zhang Ming.

"This guy is an optimist, and he's still proud of it when he's reached this point." Zhang Ming thought it was funny, and was about to make a gesture of compliment, when he found that it was dark and he couldn't see things clearly. At nearly a hundred meters in the sea, the sunlight is already very faint, like a starlit night on land. The speed of sinking was very fast, and after a while, it was completely invisible, and the surroundings were pitch black. Zhang Ming simply closed his eyes and felt the speed of the decline.

"It's strange, every meter that falls in the sea is twice as much pressure as on land, and now it's 300 meters, why can't you feel the pressure?" A question rose in Zhang Ming's heart.

Only 5% of human beings have explored the seabed, and the deepest dive to the bottom of the sea is only more than 11,000 meters, and more cannot be explored, the main reason is the huge pressure of the seawater. At a depth of 11,000 in the ocean, the pressure is equivalent to putting three tanks on a person's fingers, which can instantly crush a person into thin dried fish fillets. The fact that a person can dive 100 meters without any equipment is almost the limit, but Zhang Ming feels as comfortable as on land. Of course, the answer is obvious, and it is the cover that the tourist hat turns into work.

Just sink, will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea, what awaits him? Zhang Ming doesn't know. It is impossible to do anything now, only to leave it to fate.

From time to time, glowing objects swim around the sea. These objects do not see the whole picture, but they are deep-sea animals that are not intrusive to people, but swim around curiously. In their dim light, Zhang Ming was surprised to find what seemed to be the ancient Egyptian pyramid-like stone stacks, as well as humanoid sculptures and ancient Roman court pillars dangling in front of his eyes. He also found that he did not sink vertically all the way, but drifted horizontally and vertically several times, as if someone was deliberately adjusting to a certain direction and then sinking.

Anyway, Zhang Ming was ready to resign himself to fate, and he didn't care how to sink.

I don't know how long he sank, but when he was drowsy, he suddenly saw a bright light under his feet, and there was a sound like a sound from a loudspeaker, and the urn sounded angrily:

"Welcome to the underwater world!"
