Chapter 221: Returning from the Sea
Heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature and other parameters are all measured by Seven Stars himself. Xiao Lin Lan and I were waiting on the side, seeing Xiao Lin Lan's anxious sad face, I wanted to comfort a few words, but I didn't know what to say.
Seven stars are very careful, and every piece of data has to be confirmed again and again. I kept observing Qixing's expression, but I saw that she was always calm, and I couldn't guess the results of her examination at all.
Haruko Sakai, who had been asleep, opened her eyes at some point, and she suddenly sat up, startling us all.
Looking down at the severed arm that had been bandaged off, Haruko Sakai asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing?" ”
My nerves tensed immediately, didn't it take hours for her to wake up, why was she awake now?
However, seeing that Haruko Sakai just asked a question and didn't make any next move, I explained to her, "Don't worry, we're doing a physical test for you." After all, we don't know much about the effects of horseshoe crab, so we should pay attention to your health at all times, I hope you understand! ”
Haruko Sakai glanced at me and Nanahoshi respectively, and then turned to look at Kobayashi Arashi. Xiao Lin Lan hurriedly said to her: "Captain Black Hawk is right, don't worry!" ”
At this time, Qixing got up and stood up straight, and said to me, "There is nothing wrong with my physical condition, it is all normal." As for the wound, I don't know, you can tell her yourself. ”
I nodded and said to Haruko Sakai, "I want to tell you about horseshoe crabs, because there are some situations that I need to let you know. ”
Seeing that I was very solemn, Haruko Sakai frowned slightly, but still nodded at me.
I didn't hide it, and I told her all the discussions and speculations we had just made, including the possibilities we were worried about.
Finally I said, "I want you to decide for yourself what happens next." Rest assured, no matter what choice you make, we will respect your wishes! ”
Haruko Sakai was silent, staring at her severed arm in a daze.
Knowing that this decision was not easy to make, I got up and said, "You think about it, and I'll come back in an hour." ”
Just as I was about to turn around and go out, Haruko Sakai suddenly asked me, "Big Brother Black Hawk!" If it were you, how would you choose? ”
Suddenly he called me "Big Brother Black Hawk" and asked for my opinion, and I could feel the trust that Haruko Sakai had in me at the moment. But I've thought about her question countless times, but I haven't been able to come up with an answer, so how can I answer it?
I sat down again, bowed my head and pondered silently, thinking very seriously about Haruko Sakai's question.
To be honest, I haven't thought of a way yet, but I always feel like a little thought is looming in my head. I tried to catch it but couldn't, and I didn't even know if I was thinking of one thing or one person. But this idea seems to be quite important, and it can help me solve the problem of Haruko Sakai.
I don't know how long it has been like an old monk has been in meditation, and Sakai Haruko saw that I was meditating and thinking hard, and she couldn't help it, so she wanted to persuade me to forget it. She was just about to speak, but she was stopped by Nanaxing next to her, and she slowly shook her head at Haruko Sakai, asking her not to interrupt my train of thought.
After thinking about it, it really made me think that the clue I had never been able to grasp was actually myself.
It turns out that Haruko Sakai is now in a dilemma, which is very similar to what happened to me.
It was in the Himalayan operation, and I seemed to be faced with the same choice, but I didn't know anything at all.
And the person who solved the problem for me was none other than Dr. Feng Jiutian, who I hadn't seen for many days!
As soon as I thought of Feng Jiutian, my thoughts instantly cleared, and the expression on my face suddenly turned to joy. Haruko Sakai and Kobayashi Arashi saw that my expressions changed drastically, and they both looked at me expectantly.
I said to Haruko Sakai, "I have come up with a solution, but I need the help of a friend of mine." If you're willing to try, I'll take you on a trip to China when you get back to land. ”
When Qixing heard me say that she needed a friend's help, she immediately guessed who I was talking about, and couldn't help but say, "yes, how did we forget her!" ”
Haruko Sakai and Kobayashi Lan were confused and didn't understand who we were talking about. At this time, I can't reveal Feng Jiutian's name for the time being, so I just tell Haruko Sakai to believe me, maybe only this friend of mine has a solution. As for whether this friend can help, it will only be known after Haruko Sakai meets her in person.
Seeing that it was inconvenient for me to say, Haruko Sakai didn't ask much, but when she heard that there was a way to help her, she was obviously much more relaxed.
At this time, Kobayashi Lan asked me, "Then what should Haruko do now?" Do you still use horseshoe crabs? ”
I said, "My opinion is, not for now." Now Haruko's injuries have been brought under control and her body is recovering. And the power of the horseshoe crab is still a mystery, and I would advise against relying on it completely. In the meantime, let her recuperate, and when we're done with our affairs, we'll take Haruko to meet my friend. ”
Kobayashi Lan was still a little hesitant, but Sakai Haruko firmly handed the horseshoe crab in his hand to me and said, "I believe in you!" ”
I glanced at Kobayashi Lan and saw that she wanted to stop talking, but in the end she didn't say anything, so I took the horseshoe crab from Haruko Sakai and put it in her pocket.
Without the horseshoe crab, I bothered Seven Stars to keep a close eye on Haruko Sakai for a few more hours to see what changes would occur in her body, and Seven Stars agreed with a smile.
For the next few days, everything on board was as calm as the sailing sea.
Haruko Sakai's condition is stable, her body has not undergone any special changes, and she can already eat some simple food. Since the horseshoe crab was removed, her severed arm had stopped growing unusually, maintaining the last time we saw it.
In the afternoon, we finally saw the long-lost coast. I had to convince Iwasaki Suzumi's navigation ability, and in the endless sea, there was no error in the direction. Although she is stubborn, she is down-to-earth.
All of us, who had been stuffy in the cabin for so many days, and seeing that we were about to return to land, all stood on the deck with joy, blowing the sea breeze and looking at the shore. Even Haruko Sakai, who was weak, went outside with the support of Kobayashi Lan.
Before we landed, we changed all our clothes back into our own casual clothes, and all the weapons and equipment were handed over to Suzumi Iwasaki in advance, and she handled them.
In the more than 10 days since I went out to sea and when I came back, I found that it was a blessing to be able to walk on land. On the contrary, at sea, it seems that nothing is under their control. Even his own life was handed over to a fishing boat.
It makes me annoyed! I told myself that I really wanted to stay away from the sea in the future.
It's the same as Wangshan running a dead horse, although we saw the land, but we drove for more than two hours before we arrived.
As I got closer to the port where I docked, I found that I was not at this port when I set out, which made me feel a little strange. But on second thought, it may be for safety reasons to change the route back, which is understandable.
As the scene became more and more realistic, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The others also saw it at this time, and Shen Hao said directly: "It's strange, why is there no one in such a big port?" ”
I suddenly looked back at Kobayashi Lan and found that she and Haruko Sakai were also at a loss. The surprise was not faked, and it seemed that they did not know it.
I have no doubt that the anomaly on the shore is definitely coming at us. And to make such a big show, it is obviously ill-intentioned towards us.
To completely clear such a large port, the shore should have made careful arrangements. But I wonder how even we don't know when we'll be back, and how do the people on the shore know?
Suddenly I understood, and suddenly I looked back at the cockpit of the ship, and sure enough, it was empty, and there was no trace of Suzumi Iwasaki.
I yelled, "! We were betrayed, and Suzumi Iwasaki was gone! ”
At my prompting, the others immediately came to their senses. An Beimo turned his head to look at the cockpit, and said urgently: "It's not good, the ship is in automatic sailing mode." ”
We are still some distance from the shore, and it is estimated that at the current speed, it will not take half an hour to hit the shore, An Beimo turned his head and asked Kobayashi Lan and Sakai Haruko: "Do you know how to operate the boat?" ”
Kobayashi Lan and Haruko Sakai hadn't recovered from what had happened, and the two of them subconsciously shook their heads.
"I'll try!" Shen Hao said at this time. I know he has a penchant for electronic devices, and maybe give him some time to figure out how to stop the ship.
"Doctor, you go with the beast to prevent an ambush!" I said because I didn't know if Suzumi Iwasaki was still on board.
Hearing my order, Shen Hao and Qixing quickly ran towards the control room.
At this time, Haruko Sakai and Kobayashi Lan were obviously a little panicked, and they slowly moved a few steps to the position of the cabin. An Beimo took two steps over, blocked in front of them, and said coldly: "Now you'd better not go anywhere!" ”
I walked up to Xiao Lin Lan and asked her in a stern voice, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Kobayashi Lan replied, "We don't know what's going on, how can you doubt us?" ”
I snorted coldly, and said in an even more unceremonious tone: "Iwasaki Suzumi is your companion, don't you know what she did?" ”
Under the forced gaze of An Beimo and me, Xiao Lin Lan not only did not have a weak heart, but shouted at me angrily: "Do you think we will harm you with her? If that's the case, how can Haruko and I be stupid to stay on the deck with you? Have I thrown myself into a trap to hold you hostage? ”
I observed the micro-expressions of Kobayashi Arashi and Haruko Sakai, and the two of them were indeed not lying, and it seemed that they did not know anything in advance.
An Beimo and I glanced at each other, and An Beimo nodded and said to me: "They didn't lie, it seems that all of us were tricked by Iwasaki Suzumi!" ”
In fact, I subconsciously thought that it had nothing to do with Xiao Lin Lan, so I said to them: "It seems that your companion has long been in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and even you have hidden it." ”
Haruko Sakai actually understood this analogy of mine, and she said to Kobayashi Lan: "Could it be that she has been bought a long time ago?" She betrayed the Demon Princess? ”
Xiao Lin Lan gritted her teeth and scolded in a low voice: "This traitor! ”
I said, "Don't be too busy getting angry, but help us see who the people who are waiting for us on the shore are!" ”
It's a bit far from the shore port, but you can still see the situation on the shore with a telescope. An Beimo took the navigation telescope and handed it to Kobayashi Lan, who held it up and let Haruko Sakai come to see it.
After a few minutes, I felt as if the boat was slowing down, and when I looked up into the cockpit, Seven Stars made a "I have the situation under control" gesture to me. I nodded and replied with a gesture: "Good work!" ”
At this time, Haruko Sakai said in a frightened voice: "Oh no! It's the Tohokai! ”
