[5] Light in the sea

As soon as the first mate Li Gang saw the corpse of the humanoid sea monster, he frowned and said, "Do you really want to fish?" ”

Professor Li Dong said: "There is no living specimen of this creature in the world now, if we can bring one back, we will make history." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"But our boat is not a fishing boat, even if it is fished up, it cannot be stored, and when its body decomposes, the whole boat will stink~!" First Officer.

"We brought a safety bag that we could seal inside and it would prevent it from rotting." Li Dong Road.

"Crisper bags?" The first mate had an incredulous expression, "Can you put this thing down?" ”

Li Dong explained: "It's a fresh-keeping bag specially used to store biological specimens, not the kind of ...... we use in refrigerators."

"Oh......" The first mate was relieved, but he didn't say yes right away, but ran into the cockpit to talk to Captain McCoster. Now it's not like usual, the ship's engine is broken, and it's not easy to salvage a body in rough seas.

When McCoster heard that Li Dong and they were going to salvage the corpse of the humanoid sea monster, most of his guesses had been confirmed, and he was sure that Li Dong, Nishimura Xiong, and Linda had been prepared for the appearance of this monster.

Although there is a feeling of being kept in the dark, McCoster has no objection to the salvage of the sea monster's corpse, if he can really get this monster back and show it to the world, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, and as a captain, he may also be recorded in history, just like Columbus who discovered the New World, this is a dream that all seafarers have in their hearts.

McCoster and Li Gang discussed the salvage plan, and they adjusted the orientation of the ship, intending to let the boat follow the current as close as possible to the corpse of the humanoid sea monster, and then shoot the hook with a speargun and pull it to the side of the boat.

The salvage process went smoothly, the first mate Li Gang only fired two shots, and the speargun hit the body of the sea monster, and then he began to use the tractor to pull the body to the side of the boat, Linda and Nishimura Xiong removed a huge gray "bag" from the cabin, which is what Li Dong called the fresh-keeping bag.

This smaller humanoid sea monster was pulled to the side of the boat, this thing was milky white, the human face was neckless, and the forelimbs and arms of a human were fish, in the dark night, this thing looked like a white ghost, although the first mate had seen a bigger one tonight, but when he saw this smaller one, goosebumps suddenly rose.

First mate Li Gang activated a small crane on the deck, carefully operated the machine, and hoisted the body of the juvenile humanoid sea monster from the sea, Li Dong, Nishimura Xiong, and Linda were all watching anxiously from the side, and the captain McCoster in the wheelhouse was also watching the salvage while drinking vodka.

When the humanoid sea monster was completely hoisted and showed its full body, Captain McCoster, who was sitting in the wheelhouse, couldn't help but take a sip of vodka, the sea monster in front of him was shocking enough, it had a human face on its head, but this face had no ears and nose, only two dark eyes and a large mouth with fangs, which did not match its fish body. After so many years of galloping on the sea, McCoster has seen a lot of strange things, but what happened tonight has once again refreshed the old navigator's worldview.

The first mate, Li Gang, dragged the monster to the deck, his face was full of water droplets, some were splashes in the sea, some were his own sweat, this monster that looked like a human but was not a human made his heart extremely furious. Li Dong, Nishimura Yu, and Linda had much calmer expressions, and when the first mate hoisted the humanoid sea monster onto the deck, the three of them quickly unfolded the fresher bag and wrapped the monster without a trace of hesitation.

The first mate got off the crane and turned his head to the sea, he didn't want to look at this monster anymore, for fear that he would dream of this monster in his dreams in the future. But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the sea, and the thing flashed, but it made the first mate break out in a cold sweat, and he turned his head to the three people who were busy "packing" on the deck and said in amazement: "You, you...... See that? ”

"What?" Professor Li Dong is stuffing the head of the sea monster into a plastic bag.

"There's something in the sea! A big thing! Alive! First mate Li Gang shouted again.

Li Dong turned around, he saw the first mate's frightened expression, and then looked at the turbulent sea behind the first mate, where the sea water was like ink, and the black sea was the moon shadow cut by the waves.

The first mate pointed to the sea water and said a little nervously: "There was a long black shadow running across the sea just now, really." ”

Professor Li Dong said: "What kind of black shadow is it? ”

"It's kind of... A big snake! ”

Professor Li Dong motioned for Nishimura and Linda to continue, and he walked to the side of the boat and looked at the surging sea in the distance.

"Where did you see that?"

"There it is! ~"First mate Li Gang took out an LED searchlight from the toolbox and shone it on the sea in the distance.

Li Gang hurriedly explained: "Just a few hundred meters away, there was a section of body that slipped out of the water, probably this big..."

"So thick?" Li Dong was a little surprised, if something a few hundred meters away looked like it was arm-thick, it would have to be bigger than their boat.

Li Gang asked a little timidly: "This thing is a bit like a big snake.... Professor Lai, is there such a big snake in the sea? ”

"I don't know." Li Dong looked at the sea in the distance, where there were only undulating waves, and said thoughtfully: "What is in this ocean, in fact, we have not yet figured it out, and human beings' understanding of the sea is still very limited......

The first mate searched the sea with a searchlight again, but still did not find the black shadow, and just as he was about to give up the search and leave from the side of the ship with Li Dong, a loud rumbling noise suddenly came from the sea.

Li Dong and the first mate looked at the sea, Linda and Nishimura Xiong, who were "packing" for the juvenile sea monster, also stopped, and a halo flashed on the horizon in front of them, and then with a thunderous loud sound, a pillar of light shot straight out of the sea and rushed into the night sky, and the dark sea was suddenly illuminated by this light.

This astonishing vision left everyone dumbfounded.

I saw this pillar of light shoot out of the sea, straight to the bright moon in the sky, the four people on the deck looked at this pillar of light in shock, stunned, the captain in the wheelhouse McCoster also pushed open the hatch and walked out, his hand holding the wine bottle kept shaking, finally aimed at the mouth of the bottle, took a sip of vodka in the bottle, and said "Whatthehell......", he had never seen such a strange situation in his life.

After a few seconds, Professor Li Dong came back to his senses, he looked at the sea, and found that the sea was still rough just now, but it was calm at this time. He came to the side of the ship and stared at the sea below, and called out to Linda, "Linda, come and have a look!" ”

Linda was called by Li Dong to react, she came to the side of the boat, and found that the sea water reflected by the boat's lights was constantly bubbling and becoming more and more turbid, Li Dong asked nervously, "What's going on?" ”

Linda found that the surrounding sea water was like this, and said timidly: "There may be something wrong with the sea and the bottom of the sea!" ”

"Another earthquake?" Li Dong asked.

"Earthquakes don't come out with so many bubbles...... It's possible that this could be ......" An image flashed through Linda's mind, but it was so incredible that she forgot for a moment.

……

Lin Fan and his party also heard the thunderous noise just now in the boat, except for Xue Fatzi, who was still sleeping on the sofa, everyone looked at each other.

"Was it thunder just now?" Xu Jin asked.

"Won't there be another storm?" Otaku Jia Jun added.

"This sound is not the same as thunder!" Chen Bo denied their claims.

Lin Fan also felt so, this voice didn't sound like it came from the sky, but more like it came from the sea, and Ji Yutong, a scholar on the sofa opposite, also looked dazed, and Wu Lingling, the big-eyed sister beside her, said: "Don't guess, let's find someone to take a look." ”

"Hey Feng Hao, you go up there and take a look." The rich second-generation Mao Fei said to the squad leader Feng Hao.

The squad leader Feng Hao was a little upset when he was called by Mao Fei like this, but he still said: "Okay, then don't walk around, I'll go up and see what's going on." After Feng Hao finished speaking, he walked out of the living room and walked to the cab on the upper floor.

Not long after Feng Hao went out, Xue Fatzi on the sofa suddenly shouted: "Help, help!" Everyone was startled by him and looked at him, only to find that he still had his eyes closed.

"This guy is having a nightmare!" Chen Bo said.

"I'll wake him up." Xu Jin on the side said.

Xu Jin got up and patted the fat man Xue on the face, the fat man "Ah! He screamed.

"It's me~" Xu Jin said, "What did you dream of?" ”

Fat Xue sat up from the sofa, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said exaggeratedly: "Oh my God, it's great to see you still alive!" ”

The fat man's first sentence when he woke up made everyone speechless, and everyone scolded one after another: "Nervous ......"

"You know what? I just dreamed that we were attacked by a sea serpent, the Maori legend of the sea serpent that I mentioned to you, and it overturned our boat and dragged us all into the sea one by one, you, you, you...... And you've all been swallowed by it! Xue Fatzi pointed and said one by one.

Lin Fan hurriedly pushed away Xue Fatzi's hand and said, "Don't make trouble, okay?" When is it~", the last person the fat man just pointed to was him.

Fat Xue shouted: "Dreams have a spirit rhino! No way! I've got to get that mask from the Maori! With that, he staggered to the cabin on the lower level of the living room.

Everyone has seen too many strange things tonight, and they have never stopped strange fantasies in their heads, and now they have heard the nightmare of the fat man, and everyone is a little more uneasy in their hearts, and everyone looks at each other, and they are not in the mood to speak again.
