Chapter 208: Reunion
At this time, there must be no place to hide, so I shouted to An Beimo: "Use a flashlight to signal them!" At the same time, I pulled out my gun and pointed it into the sky, "bang, bang, bang" is three shots.
The gunfire immediately attracted several lights on the opposite side, and An Beimo's flashlight took the opportunity to flash in front of him and send out a contact signal.
But the horseshoe crabs were coming too fast, and one or two were already close to us. I hurriedly shouted to An Beimo: "Turn off the flashlight!" ”
Before An Beimo's signal was finished, she knew that the danger had arrived, so she had to interrupt and turn off the flashlight. I swam over to lean against her, making a "keep quiet" gesture in my hand.
Except for the fact that we were still treading water under our feet, our bodies remained mostly still, and we both stared at the larvae of horseshoe crabs that were gradually approaching us.
Secretly, we each slowly drew our daggers.
This is definitely another gamble, since there is no escape, you can only take risks.
Perhaps it was luck that the first horseshoe crab larva swam over ignored me and An Beimo and continued to swim towards a place of light. Then the second and third, completely as if An Beimo and I didn't exist, and quickly passed by us.
A horrible swarm of sea monsters dangled in front of my eyes, and I was so nervous that I almost wanted to suffocate. This is no longer a question of whether you are afraid or not, this is simply a spiritual test for people!
But luckily, we're at least safe for the time being!
But I realized that the trouble did not go away, but was transferred to my companions. Now our teammates have become targets for these horseshoe crab cubs.
I pulled An Beimo to move slowly to the side, and without disturbing the larvae, I dodged the range of the swarm's movement route, and then approached the direction of my companion as fast as I could.
The horseshoe crab larvae were so fast that they should have been around their teammates, but to my surprise, I didn't hear the gunshots.
We slowly approached our teammates, and we could already faintly see the shadow of the lifeboat.
Now countless horseshoe crab larvae are still rushing forward. The water was stirred by them, but as soon as they reached the area around the boat in front of them, it seemed to disappear into the darkness and become silent.
When I was still two or three hundred meters away from the lifeboat, there was a murmur in my headphones. It seemed that we were once again within range of communication, and I hurriedly pressed the call button and whispered to the beast and the doctor.
Soon, Shen Hao's voice in the headset came intermittently: "Black Eagle, goddess, you ...... Okay? ”
I happily replied, "We're fine, how are you there?" The goddess and I are still a few hundred meters away from you, but with these horseshoe crab larvae in the way, we don't dare to get too close for the time being. ”
The voice of the seven stars said at this time: "Don't come near us for the time being, in order to deal with these sea worms, I have drugged the ship!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, no wonder I didn't hear the gunshots for a long time, it turned out that Qixing had already used more ruthless methods against these horseshoe crabs. I hurriedly asked, "Is it poisoned?" Won't you let me and the goddess get caught up in the trick too? ”
Qixing said: "The situation was urgent just now, and I had no other way. Wait where you are, show us where we are, and we'll go around and pick you up! ”
An Beimo said: "We are now in the direction of ten o'clock in the bow of the ship, you find a way to contain those horseshoe crabs, and then come to pick us up." By the way, these things are sensitive to light. ”
Seven Stars replied, "Understood! Shen Hao also interjected at this time and said, "It turns out that these monsters are called horseshoe crabs!" ”
After a while, I saw a beam of light light light up and swaying on the surface of the sea. All the light on the boat vanished, and slowly paddled towards us.
The horseshoe crabs were attracted by the light and did not go back to besieging the lifeboat. An Beimo and I swam a few dozen meters to the side, a little farther away from the horseshoe crab herd.
Soon the boat arrived near us, An Beimo flashed twice with a flashlight to stop the boat, and An Beimo and I quickly swam over and grabbed the edge of the boat, and were pulled onto the boat by Shen Hao and Qixing respectively.
When we met again after dozens of hours, I was a little excited and hugged Shen Hao and Qixing respectively, and there was a moment when I thought I would never see them again. An Beimo hugged Qixing, but ignored Shen Hao, making Shen Hao, who was looking forward with his arms open, extremely disappointed.
Shen Hao and Qixing's faces were haggard, obviously they hadn't had a good rest for a long time. I knew that they must have been looking for the whereabouts of me and An Beimo non-stop, and I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart again.
At the stern of the boat, I saw Arashi Kobayashi and Haruko Sakai. Kobayashi Lan's face was very bad, and she didn't have much emotional change about our reunion. Haruko Sakai, on the other hand, was lying on her side, her face bloodless, as if she was in a coma.
I asked Shen Hao in surprise: "Haruko Sakai, what's wrong?" At the same time as the questioning, I noticed that Haruko Sakai had a thick bandage wrapped around her left arm, and the arm was obviously shorter, and I immediately asked in surprise, "What happened to her arm?" ”
Shen Hao was about to speak, but Qixing preemptively said, "Let's get out of here first, and then we will talk slowly after we are safe!" ”
At this moment, several horseshoe crabs came to the side of our boat, scratching at the hull with their slender steps, and made a squeaky "creaking" sound. Shen Hao and I immediately sat down and rowed with oars, allowing An Beimo and Qixing to block the besieging horseshoe crabs.
Fortunately, there were not many horseshoe crabs that came up, and they were stabbed down with daggers by An Beimo and Qixing as soon as they appeared.
The light that was used as a decoy was gone, presumably obscured by the countless swarming horseshoe crabs. And quite a few horseshoe crabs began to shift their targets and surround us.
Without guidance instruments, we can only rely on the stars in the sky to roughly determine the direction. Determining the location of the Yingyuan, Shen Hao and I struggled forward.
There were more and more horseshoe crabs catching up with the tail, and Qixing pulled An Beimo back, and then grabbed a handful from his carry-on satchel, and with a wave of his hand, he spilled the granular thing that he didn't know what it was into the seawater.
Soon there were huge changes in the water, and the horseshoe crabs, which had originally surrounded them, seemed to be greatly stimulated, rolled back and forth in the water, and fled in a hurry. A few of them ran slowly, and after tossing back and forth, they slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
I asked Seven Stars what they were throwing into the water, and Seven Stars took some out of his satchel and held them out in front of us on the palms of his hands. An Beimo recognized it at a glance and said, "Lime grains!" ”
I asked Qixing, "When did you prepare this thing?" It seems that you had the foresight! ”
Qixing said: "Actually, it was brought to prevent emergencies, and I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time." ”
Lime is a hot creature that grows up in the cold depths of the sea, so it's natural to be sensitive to temperature, and I can't help but regret that I knew I had brought some with me.
Breaking away from the entanglement of the horseshoe crab larvae, Shen Hao and I quickly rowed in the direction of the Yingyuan. It has been two days and three nights since we went to the island, which is not a long time, but it is a death experience.
It wasn't far from the Yingyuan, and twenty minutes later we saw its shadow, and An Beimo signaled the ship several times with a flashlight. After the third signal, the Sakurato replied.
We made it back to the Sakurayuan, and Shen Hao and I carried Haruko Sakai into the cabin. Seeing that we all returned safely, the captain of the ship, Suzumi Iwasaki, was particularly pleasantly surprised. However, when he saw Haruko Sakai's injured arm, his mood instantly dropped again.
I asked Suzumi Iwasaki to hurry up and sail back, this place can't stay long.
Iwasaki Suzumi also knew that the island was not easy, and she also saw male horseshoe crabs emerging from the sea. Although she could only see shadows, the terrifying behemoth made her heart terrified. Hearing what I said to leave immediately, it was exactly what she wanted, and she hurriedly called Chika Nakajima to order the ship to sail back.
Back in the cabin, I asked Shen Hao and An Beimo to go back to the cabin to rest first, and I went to see Haruko Sakai.
When he entered the cabin where Haruko Sakai and Arashi Kobayashi lived, he found that Seven Stars was examining Haruko Sakai, and his face was a little solemn.
When Qixing was done, I asked her how Haruko Sakai was injured, and Qixing said in a deep voice: "Take her back to the hospital as soon as possible, maybe you can save a life." ”
I said, "Can't you save her with your skills?" What the hell happened to her? ”
Seven stars glanced at Haruko Sakai who was lying on the bed, and Kobayashi Lan, who was taking care of her next to her, and Seven Stars lowered his voice and said to me, "Go out and talk!" ”
Qixing and I returned to her cabin, and I pushed the door in, but the moment I entered the house, I saw An Beimo with half of his back exposed, taking off his diving suit.
Seeing that I broke in, An Beimo immediately pulled up the clothes that had been taken off again, covering his bare skin.
I was startled, and hurriedly retreated, and the seven stars behind me were also knocked out, and I slammed the hatch shut with a bang.
Qixing held the wall steady, and said angrily: "What are you doing?" ”
My face was full of embarrassment, and I apologized to Qixing again and again. Seeing that I looked flustered, Qixing vaguely guessed something, and she said with a smile: "Did you see something you shouldn't see?" You're going to be out of luck! ”
I didn't care about Qixing's sarcasm, and smiled bitterly. Trying to calm his heart, he took a deep breath before knocking heavily on the door.
"Come in!" An Beimo's angry voice came from the house.
I took a step back and gave way to Seven Stars. Qixing couldn't help laughing, pushed the door and walked in, and I bowed my head and followed.
An Beimo not only put on the diving suit again, but also put a blanket around his body, his wet hair spread out and draped on his chest, and he glared at me with angry eyes.
"Don't you know how to knock on the door before entering the girl's room?" An Beimo asked me coldly.
Just now I was thinking about Haruko Sakai, and I was negligent for a while. Hurriedly apologized to An Beimo: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." I was thinking about things in my head just now, and I forgot about it! ”
At this time, Shen Hao pushed the door from the outside and walked in, saw that we were all in the room, and said, "So you are all here!" Save me from looking for you everywhere. An Beimo suddenly snorted heavily, staring at Shen Hao with cold eyes, without saying a word.
I pointed at Shen Hao and blamed, "Are you polite?" How can you enter a girl's room without knocking? ”
Shen Hao's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he turned to a hippie smile, and hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry! I was thinking about things just now, and I forgot about it for a while! ”
When he said that, I almost kicked him out of the house.
Qixing handed me a bottle of water and asked me in a changing tone, "What happened after you fell into the hole?" I see that there are many holes in the goddess's clothes that have been torn and torn, so it seems that your experience must be very dangerous, right? ”
I saw that my companions were there, so I roughly talked about what happened after I fell into the hole with An Beimo.
