(76) Jumping into the sea when you set off?
Three days later, as agreed, we arrived at the pier.
The wharf was full of BK merchant ships, all of which were 100,000-ton freighters, about 30 of them.
They were leaning neatly on the dock, like dozens of giants on standby, which was very spectacular.
The head of the fleet was an old man of fifty or sixty years old, with a thin chin, gray blond hair, blue eyes with some protrusion, and cheekbones higher than ordinary people.
His brow furrowed, and he was sternly making arrangements before the trip.
The sailors seemed to be afraid of him, and obediently obeyed his orders without complaining.
"Hello! We are detectives who have come to investigate! ”
I'll explain what I mean.
"The boss only has money in his eyes, and he doesn't care about our lives! I'm going to kill you again! Alas! ”
The old man looked at us and sighed.
"Didn't Mr. Williams go there himself? Doesn't it mean that there is no danger? It's just that the sea is red, right? ”
Hearing that we were here to die, Hunter asked three questions in a row.
"He's been there? You believe his nonsense! ”
The old man shook his head.
"We've seen the pictures! He's been there! I still think the red water is very poetic! ”
Chi Qi is also full of anticipation for those red waters, saying that it is very poetic.
"Poetic? The little girl really doesn't know whether to live or die! Isn't it simple for the boss to make a fake photo to stabilize our mood! These capitalists are all cannibalistic and don't spit out bones! ”
The old man said unceremoniously.
"Do you say that about your boss? Is it true that bosses are devils in the eyes of employees? ”
Chi Qi is an aggressive animal, and the old man said that she doesn't know whether she lives or dies, so she will naturally fight back.
"Hey! What is good or not! It's almost over! How can you take care of those! ”
The old man sighed again.
"You mean, this trip is dangerous?"
I asked respectfully.
Although he spoke in a less polite tone, I understood that the old man's mind was to scare us off and save us from death.
"Absolutely! Is this a joke? Red water, that's the blood of the earth! ”
The old man looked at me, and fear was evident in his bloodshot eyes.
"What's going on? Regarding, Mr. Williams did not go into details. ”
I continued to ask him in a humble tone.
Unfortunately, a few sailors came to ask the old man for some trivial matters, and the old man was so busy that he didn't bother to answer my question, but said, "You'll know when you arrive!" ”
After that, he raised his hand and pointed to a big boat on his right hand and said, "You get on that boat, your ship is at the front, I am on the second boat, you can contact me if you have any questions!" You are the bravest sailors on board, and if you tell them to do anything! ”
I nodded, and although the old man did not want us to go, he still made clear arrangements for us.
After arranging our place, he continued to direct the sailors to prepare for their journey.
"It seems that this million is not very profitable! This trip is really dangerous! ”
Chi Qi said with emotion.
"If it's dangerous, why don't we go?"
Si Yu was also a little afraid.
"What is there to be afraid of! You grew up on a ship, are you still afraid to go to sea? ”
I smiled and looked at Siyu.
"This time it's different, I've never seen any red sea! What the old man said just now was so terrifying...! ”
Si Yu subconsciously tugged at the corner of my clothes, and I knew that she was scared.
"Of course he was afraid! So use us as the advance force! Our ship was at the front, his boat was 20 nautical miles away, and if there was any danger he turned around and ran! ”
Chi Qi said evilly, I know she is deliberately scaring Siyu.
Siyu stuck behind me and didn't say a word.
"This kind of big freighter has to keep a certain distance." I calmly explained, "Then again! There's no way around it! Who makes us need money now! Our job is to investigate mysterious events, and there's no reason not to go! ”
"It's like exchanging your life for money."
Hunter said jokingly for a long time.
"If any of you are afraid, you can not go, just stay in the investigation center and wait for our good news!"
Before I even set off, my morale had dropped by more than half, and I was a little unhappy.
"Afraid? The old lady hasn't been afraid of anyone! Why don't you go? Go! I'd like to see what the red sea looks like! ”
Chi Qi expressed her attitude categorically, she may have seen the same as me that Si Yu and Hunter were not strong-willed, and did not want to make me ugly as a commander.
"I'm not afraid, this should be a good trip!"
Chi Qi said this, and Hunter did not show weakness.
"I'm going to follow you..."
Si Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"Then I'll get on board!"
It was as if the general was rushing to the battlefield with his own soldiers, and we walked towards the big ship.
The surroundings were noisy, but the air around the four of us seemed to be condensed.
From the old man's mouth, we learned that this trip was dangerous.
Each of them was preoccupied, and everyone walked down the iron staircase to the deck without saying a word.
"Smack, smack, smack..."
Chiqi's high heels, iron heels and iron ladders collided, like a rhythmic battle movement.
The big ship slowly left the harbor and drove about 200 meters when Hunter's cell phone suddenly rang.
"Hello? It's me! It's true? Is he really awake? I'll be there soon! ”
Hunter picked up the phone, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.
"My partner is awake! Looks like I can't go to sea with you! ”
Hunter hung up, unable to hide the excitement on his face.
"Uh, good thing."
I agreed, thinking that the boat was all gone, and it would be up to you to see how you got down.
"The boat won't return, you swim back!"
Chi Qi seemed to hear what I was thinking, and said angrily.
"Swim and swim!"
As he spoke, Hunter jumped into the sea without taking off his shoes.
"Huh?! Isn't it just to let the big ship release a speedboat! What's the hurry! ”
Seeing him jump down, I thought of the speedboat, and seeing him so excited about the waking up of "me" on that hospital bed, I couldn't bear it, and turned to Chiqi and said, "Look at your ghost idea!" This stupid boy really jumped! The sea is so cold, I don't know if he can stand it! Besides, he didn't investigate the key to the house, where did he go back and live! Go back too, take a speedboat, and wait for us at the investigation center! ”
"Me? I don't know how to drive a speedboat! Besides, I'll go back and let you be in this storm? You think beautifully! ”
Chi Qi glanced at me and Si Yu, her face full of displeasure.
"Then I'll go back! I grew up at sea and I would drive speedboats. ”
Si Yu looked at Hunter swimming in the sea and volunteered.
"Well, it's okay for you to go back! Ask the captain to hurry up and put you a speedboat. ”
There is always a bad premonition on this trip, and I am relieved that Si Yu and Hunter are gone, and it is best for Chi Qi to go back too.
"Don't worry!"
I glared at Chi Qi, who rolled her eyes and made a grimace with her eyes and tongue.
