XVII. In the midst of the sea

"Toot ······." Loud voices rang out on the horizon, one high and one low, one long and one short.

It was the sound of the alarm, I don't know when the alarm of the broken ship went off, and the loud sound woke up the fainting door Yuebin. The woman and I stood side by side across from him, and he sat on a bed full of aquatic creatures and smoked, one after the other.

"The hell knows where you're in that place?" The woman broke the cold and said.

Brother Mengo didn't speak, stretched out his hand to stop, and then put the cigarette in his mouth, snorting deadly, the gesture seemed to bite off the cigarette.

I thought to myself, oh my god, this man is too melancholy, isn't he? Maturity in every gesture······ The charm of a mature pig-headed man.

That's right, his face was swollen, so swollen that I almost didn't recognize him, his face was bruised, and he shivered with pain. He had to smoke cigarettes to relieve that pain.

As a mature and sexy man, Brother Men's ability to self-regulate is still very good, he moved the joint of his jaw and spoke: "Am I easy?" ”

"Then we'll be easy? In order to save you, kill all the way, look at that stupid son. The woman pointed at me and said, "I almost broke my legs." ”

"What do you say?" I looked at her.

"Didn't you call me godmother?" She said as she tilted her head to my ear.

Me: "······." ”

"Okay, let's tell me how you got here, right?"

Then Menyue Bin told him what happened to him below deck, which was nothing more than meeting those harlequins, who tied him here.

"What's below deck?"

"Warehouse!"

"Where's the warehouse?"

When Menyue Bin said this, his eyes glowed with golden light: "Money, countless money, is something that can be exchanged for money." ”

I didn't bother to hear what they said, and I looked up at the sea, and I don't know how it was the ship's searchlight that came on, and the light pierced through the darkness, and at the end of the light, farther away, the planes of clouds and water intertwined into a line at the end of the light, endlessly.

On the boundless sea, there is a huge silver waterfall that pierces through the clouds and mist from the zenith. It is like a pillar that reaches the sky, horizontal between the sea and the sky, vast and ancient.

The two of them were chatting over there, when suddenly there was a knock outside the door.

Menkoshi asked, "Is it a monkey?" ”

"It's a ghost!"

"Ghosts?"

Kadoshi didn't believe it, and was about to go that way, when the ship seemed to have encountered a reef, and the hull shook slightly.

The knock on the door should be the harlequin, when we came in this time, the table had blocked the door, so the ghost thing, I couldn't get in for a while, but I don't know why the boat was shaking, but I didn't have time to take care of so much, the woman took advantage of the time when the door was smoking, picked up the walkie-talkie again, and tuned several channels in a row, and finally a human voice sounded inside: "Hey! ”

"Roger, receive!" Inside was Rong Jitong's voice.

Damn, this can be fixed?

"What just happened?"

"I don't know, I'm watching, but it's not like a reef, it's all sea." The sound of waves came from the walkie-talkie, and Rong Jitong should have leaned out to look out of the railing.

"Did you see anything in front of you?"

"It's the flow of the river on the ground, and don't forget, the waters below here may be crisscrossed by nine dragons."

The sound of banging on the iron door continued.

"It doesn't seem to be peaceful on this ship." The woman glanced back, and the desk was still against the door, so it should be safe for the time being.

Then Rong Jitong on the other end was silent, and after half a sound, he said: "The water is not very peaceful. ”

"What do you see?"

"See for yourself on deck."

"I can't get over it yet, wait a while." The woman began to walk around the room after speaking, and we must not be able to go back the way we came, so we must find a safe way out now.

Deck? We didn't have to go to the deck at all, and the upper floors of the aft tower had an unobstructed view of the sea from here.

"By the way, who turned the lights on?" I asked

The sea was bright and shining, and the huge searchlight rays shot out hundreds of meters away, and from time to time the sirens would sound, and a huge sound lingered on the sea, diluting the sound of the waterfall, almost covering everything.

"It's me." Rong Jitong said in a deep voice on the walkie-talkie: "There is a generator inside the hull, as long as the ship is not torn apart, it will definitely be able to restore 80% of the electricity." But there was something wrong with the wiring, and this siren didn't know how it would go off on its own. ”

"Could it be this voice that attracts underwater ······?"

Before I could finish my sentence, the hull of the ship shook again for a while, as if it had encountered some huge impact, and I looked out of the window, and there was no trace of the rocks on the mountain wall in the distance, and there were clouds floating in the sky, like a rainy day, and in the clouds there was a waterfall of the Milky Way that poured straight down through a hole above, which should be the water in the upper layer of the river.

"What's going on?" I grabbed the walkie-talkie and asked.

"There's something underwater! I see it clearly. ”

"Fish?"

"No, it's a big thing, like a water monster."

Monster? Rong Jitong's words aroused my temperament.

I walked to the window and looked out, and as the boat sailed, we were getting closer and closer to the waterfall that had leaked down from the river on the ground, and in the distance I saw the water of the waterfall falling from the mountain above into the yin sea, and the height difference was flooded with large snow-white waves, which shone silver in the light of the ship's lights at the same time.

"All I saw was the waterfall, oh my God, is that the flow of the river on the ground? It's magnificent. Brother Mengo walked over and froze after just one look.

"Don't look at the waterfall, look at the water."

"Under the waterfall?" I stared at it for a long time, and although there were ripples on the surface of the water, it was just a surge of water, not a living thing.

"No, under the ship, that thing is right after us." Rong Jitong's voice became urgent, and it was obvious that his gaze had caught something strange.

At this time, the boat was less than a few hundred meters away from the column of water formed by the waterfall, and I retracted my eyes and began to search the waters within a hundred meters of the light.

"Found it." The woman patted me on the shoulder and pointed to a place.

Kadoshibin and I followed the direction she pointed, stood on a high place, looked down with the help of the huge light, and suddenly saw a huge silhouette floating in the water under the water.

"Dragons?" I was taken aback, such a large figure, it was the first word that came to my mind and jumped into my head.

"No way, it should just be a sea serpent." The woman thought for a moment and said.

"Can a sea snake grow that big?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the hull of the ship was hit again, and I thought to myself, this is a transport ship, how big is it underwater, to hit it?

I heard the sound of waves crashing on the intercom, and the impact just now created waves more than ten meters high, and the waves hit the hull of the boat, splashing and scattering, like a torrential rain.

"Who the fuck knows!" Rong Jitong was angry, no, it should be said that he was afraid, people can't control their emotions when they are afraid.

I took a deep breath and stood in the glass of my room, and saw that behind the waterfall was still an endless sea, and I don't know where the wind blew through the distant condensation, making it sparse and untidy. In our eyes, a sea of thick ink is outlined.

In the distance, darkness and water blend together, and the sea and the sky are shoulder to shoulder.

"This is the Yin Sea, under the water of Poyang Lake, and the locals are affected by the devil's waters, and this sea, which they think does not exist, is called the Sea of Yellow Springs. It's not unusual for you to see anything here. The woman comforted Rong Jitong on the intercom.

"Don't worry about it so much for now, have you done it over there, come to me quickly." Rong Jitong was a little panicked, and when he spoke, he split his tongue and made a "hiss" sound.

"Here it is."

We crept out of the broken window and slid all the way to the deck, following the same trajectory that the harlequin had escaped before. At this time, Rong Jitong was standing on the deck, he was soaked by the seawater, but fortunately he didn't wear a mask. The scales on his face, after being stained with seawater, reflected the light, which was extremely eerie.

"Let's go, go to the first floor." He saw us from afar and shouted.

"What did you find?" Kadokoshi asked.

Rong Jitong didn't speak, just walked forward.

The bow of the ship was connected to the bridge, that is, the long bow ship, and when it looked up, it saw a bridge high up, and the bridge was crawling with a plant. "That's not what you're talking about, is it?"

Rong Jitong shook his head and just said, "You come with me." ”

Walking through the passage of the boat, we followed Rong Jitong into the first floor, which is a boathouse made of steel, and from half of the house, you can see the white layer of ash inside, and the interior side of the wooden house. On that side, the vegetation is overgrown like a towering tree, and all kinds of parasitic plants grow on the tree.

It was a creeper-like plant, and the mutant branches and leaves were an eerie blue, like a demon attached to the wall, and the wind carried them through them as if they were breathing, blowing through the gaps in them to make a "shhhhh

In the middle of the plant there are many small plants with old branches and hairless, raised gray-yellow pores, and their stems and branches are cylindrical. The surface is reddish-brown or gray, with fine longitudinal lines, and numerous small skin pores, and the twigs have brownish-red fine hairs. Among the creeper-like plants on the dense branches, the roof of the house was entwined with vines and rhizomes along the meridian lines. It is like a thousand-year-old tree branch in a dense forest.

Rong Jitong took a few steps forward and pointed to the inside of the room and said: "Inside this first floor is a house without partition walls, it looks like a conference room or a strategic command room, and I see that there seems to be something like a map in the vacancy that is not covered by plants in the wall. ”

"Maps?" The woman reacted when she heard this.

"I'm wondering if that's what you need to find." Rong Jitong said to the woman.
