[29] Dragon
Dark clouds, thunder, and rain poured down on the sea, and the sea was already turbulent, and the churning waves shook the salvage fleet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And all this is not as terrifying as the loud noise just now, the roar that came from the sea actually overwhelmed the thunder and lightning that roared between heaven and earth, and it was so clear that it reached everyone's ears, making people panic.
"Is this sound an earthquake?" The first mate exclaimed, everyone stopped and looked back at the sea, Ji Yutong stared at the sea in the wind and rain, and said calmly: "No, this is not an undersea earthquake, because the earthquake wave will travel faster than the sound, and now there is no other movement on the sea except for the wind and waves, this is not the sound of an earthquake!" ”
"What makes such a loud noise?! It can't be a sea monster, right~? Xue Panru said in horror, Lin Fan looked at the surrounding sea vigilantly, indeed as Ji Yutong said, there was no scene of a tsunami on the sea, and he looked at the radiant hexahedral spar in the center of the ruins, and muttered in his heart: "Could it be that thing is doing trouble?" But there was nothing unusual about the hedron other than its usual dazzling light, and it was hoisted in mid-air by the crane of the salvage ship closest to the ruins, and was staggering towards the salvage ship under the command of the landing team.
"Could that sound be an echo because the thunder hit the sea?" Chen Bo tried to explain.
"How is this possible? How can there be thunder in the sea and there is an echo, right, Yutong ......" Wu Lingling didn't finish her words, roared!!! , suddenly there was another loud bang in the sea, this sound was even louder than just now, Wu Lingling hurriedly grabbed Ji Yutong on the side and said, "Oh my God! What the hell is going on, Yutong!? ”
Ji Yutong took off Wu Lingling's hand, braved the wind and rain to return to the side of the ship and looked at the sea below, Lin Fan, the first mate and Chen Bo also followed her, Lin Fan came to the side of the ship, he saw that there were many people on the other side of the deck and the nearby salvage boat, just like them, everyone braved the heavy rain on the deck to observe the surrounding sea, trying to find the source of the strange sound.
Roar!! ――
The sound from under the sea came again, louder than the previous two, and it came from beneath the surface of the sea, and it was deafening to hear, as if the sea was roaring at everyone.
"Oh my God! What the hell happened to the nautical? Chen Bo covered his ears and said, just when everyone was frightened by this loud noise, something even more unbelievable happened on the sea.
Next to the ruins, the salvage ship that was hoisting the luminous hexahedron spar suddenly floated into the air, and its thick bottom even rose to the same height as the deck of the destroyer where Lin Fan and the others were, and everyone looked at the unbelievable scene in front of them in horror, and then there was a sudden whisper as slight as a dream in the turbulent sea, which was a girl's voice:
"Ahh~~"
This voice sounded like Lin Fan had an indescribable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, and after a while, suddenly a dazzling white light shot out from the hexahedral spar, and the sea was reflected brightly, and then a huge energy surged out from the center of the light, and the sea surface was instantly pressed into a depression, and the shock wave swept away, Lin Fan was bounced open by the attacking qi wall, and the whole person flew out upside down, he only felt that his back hit the wall of the ship first, and then the back of his head was smashed again, and his eyes were black and he fainted.
******
"Brother Lin! Brother Lin! ”
In a trance, Lin Fan heard someone calling him, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw the first mate Li Gang kneeling beside him and looking at him worriedly, "First mate...... What's wrong with me? Lin Fan stood up, "Ouch~" Suddenly he felt a hot pain in the back of his head.
"Brother Lin, slow down, your head is broken." The first mate tore off a strip of cloth from his shirt to help Lin Fan bandage it, Lin Fan touched the back of his head, only to see that his hands were covered with blood, "Just now...... What's going on? He asked.
"Alas! Something is wrong! Can you get up now? We're going to run for our lives! The first mate pulled Lin Fan up as he spoke, Lin Fan saw that he was standing on a small "platform", in front of him was a towering "ship wall", he was shocked to find that there were cries for help all around, he looked around, and then the whole person was stunned.
I saw that the entire Thor destroyer turned over on its side, the side wall of the hull was turned over, the side of the deck of the ship was submerged in the water, and a group of people who fell into the water in the sea were shouting for help, and the place where he was standing now was actually supposed to be the side wall of the tower, but now the hull of the ship is tilted sideways, and it has become a platform, "This, this...... The ship was overturned?! Lin Fan said in disbelief.
The first mate nodded and said, "I don't know what happened just now, a powerful shock wave suddenly rushed towards me, and the entire ship was overturned, and many people fell into the water." ”
"Ah...... What about the others? Are they alright?"
The first mate pointed to it, Lin Fan saw that the original side of the ship had now become an eaves, Ji Yutong, Xue Panru, Wu Lingling and Chen Bo were looking at Lin Fan, they saw that Lin Fan had regained consciousness, so they waved his hand and said, "Lin Fan, are you okay?!"
The first mate continued: "You are the most seriously injured among the men, they took the opportunity to climb up when the ship capsized just now, and now the sea water is flooding up on this side of the deck, how are you doing?" We've got to get up quickly, too. ”
Lin Fan looked up at the height of the "eaves" above, and then looked at the smooth deck erected in front of him, and said weakly: "The side of the ship is four or five meters away from here, and this deck is so flat, how can we climb up?" ”
"Come with me, there's a drain pipe over there, which goes directly to the outside of the ship." With that, the first mate cautiously leaned against the deck, and leaned along the not-so-spacious wall of the tower towards the pipe. They successfully arrived at the deck pipe, and then Lin Fan began to climb up along the drainage pipe with the help of the first mate, because there are many links on the drainage pipe that can be used as a fulcrum, so it is not too difficult to climb up, Lin Fan finally climbed to the top of the pipe with a lot of effort, at this time Xue Panru and Chen Bo came over, and one grabbed him with an arm and dragged him up to the eaves.
Lin Fan went to the wall of the ship, the original side wall is now the top surface of the hull, and he can see the surrounding sea from a high position, he looked up, and the situation on the other side of the boat immediately caught his eye.
I saw that the sea was in a mess at this moment, Sid's salvage fleet was basically all capsized, or turned on its side, or upside down at sea, and the ruins of the core area that had just been fished out gradually sank into the sea, surrounded by people who fell into the water and begged for help, but what was even more shocking was that the luminous spar that had been lifted out before was now shining with a dazzling light and suspended high in the air, it was still there in an incomprehensible state, the wind and rain were isolated by it, and the sea below was also sunken in a crater, as if a powerful energy field was enveloping it.
"How could that crystal float in mid-air? Did it send out the shockwave just now? Lin Fan said quietly, but no one around could answer his question, even the well-informed Ji Yutong looked dazed at the moment, Lin Fan saw that her left hand was covering her right shoulder, as if she was injured, and even her glasses didn't know where to go.
Then the first mate also climbed up, and he called everyone together and said: "Everyone has seen it now, the ship has capsized, and we are not wearing life jackets now, and it will be very dangerous if the ship sinks, so everyone hurry up and look along the side of the ship to see if there is a lifebuoy or something." ”
As soon as the first mate finished speaking, everyone began to grope around the side of the ship to see if they could touch one or two lifebuoys, during this process, Lin Fan kept encountering people who turned up from the deck below, they looked frightened, some of the clothes were still wet, as if they climbed up after falling into the sea, watching one after another people who escaped death climb up the side wall, but there was no trace of the Xicun antelope, Lin Fan couldn't help but worry about her safety.
"Who knows where the antelope went?" Lin Fan hurriedly asked the others, Chen Bo and the others all shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know, and the first mate said with a worried expression: "If the antelope girl is still below, then I'm afraid there will be more than one luck~"
"Alas~ We can't protect ourselves now, we can only hope that she is safe." Wu Lingling sighed and said. "Look over there, someone has crawled out of a hole in the wall of the ship." At this time, Xue Panru pointed to the direction of the bow of the ship, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a small hole in the hull of the ship over there, and a group of people climbed up from the hole, and the leader was Dr. Sid.
"Did they dig a hole and escape?" Chen Bodao, the first mate replied: "No, there is an escape hatch in the cabin leading to the outside of the ship, and they came out through this escape hatch." ”
Sid led a group of people to crawl out of the hole in the gunwales, they all looked very embarrassed, and at this time, Lin Fan suddenly found a girl wearing a yellow down jacket and a navy blue short skirt in the crowd, he looked at it and found that it was the Nishimura antelope, "That's the antelope, alas!" She's with Sid! When they saw that this was indeed the case, they hurriedly shouted at her, "Antelope! ~~ We're here!! ”
The antelope in the crowd seemed to hear Lin Fan's cry, she turned her head to look this way, Lin Fan shouted, "Come here, Antelope!" Let's not get separated together~".
I saw that the antelope nodded from afar, and then cautiously walked along the curved bulwark, "I'll pick her up." Lin Fan said, "Well, you can go over." The first mate and the others agreed, and Lin Fan walked towards the antelope, and suddenly Ji Yutong's voice came from behind: "Be careful, something has come out of the sea!" ”
Lin Fan turned his head to look at the sea, only to see that a huge whirlpool had formed on the sea at some point, and the entire sea surface was sinking in a funnel-like shape, and behind the sunken seawater, there was a terrifying black shadow, the black shadow was winding and circling under the sea, looking huge, as if the entire fleet was in its shadow. Lin Fan looked at the black shadow under the sea, and suddenly remembered a terrible memory, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and the black shadow seemed to deliberately want to confirm Lin Fan's memory, a section arched slightly from the sea, the thick body like the hull of a boat, and the surface was full of red scales exposed from the sea water, Lin Fan suddenly gasped - that nightmare under the moonlit night came true!
"Ahh There was a panicked scream all around.
"Lin Fanjun~~ What is that??!" The antelope who was walking towards Lin Fan trembled and shouted, Lin Fan turned his head and saw that she was standing at the top of the arc on the bulwark, and there was still some distance from him, so he hurriedly calmed down and comforted: "Antelope, don't be afraid, you come over slowly first......"
But God seemed to deliberately go against them, the black shadow under the sea suddenly heard a dragon's roar, and then the whole sea began to boil, the body of the winding red giant snake churned out of the sea, and the surrounding ships were pushed away, and the hull of Lin Fan's ship was also constantly trembling, squeaking and moving to one side.
"Ah~~~!" At this time, the antelope on the bulwark suddenly screamed, and the whole person stumbled and slipped under the bulwark, the part of the bulwark connected to the bottom of the boat was a huge steep slope, like a cliff, Lin Fan was shocked and chased forward, if he couldn't catch her before the antelope slid down the bulwark, then she would fall into the sea, and what was waiting for her under the sea now was a terrifying red sea dragon!
Lin Fan rushed towards the antelope, completely ignoring the danger, chasing the antelope to the edge of the bulwark, and at the moment when the antelope was about to fall off the edge, he grabbed the antelope's hand and left her on the edge of the bulwark.
"Lin, Lin Fanjun!!" The antelope looked at Lin Fan with stunned eyes, she was hanging in the air at the moment, as long as Lin Fan let go of her hand, she would fall into the sea.
"Antelope hold on! I'll pull you up now! Lin Fan shouted, but he was now on the edge of the bulwark, surrounded by a smooth hull, there was no point of focus, he had to exert all his strength just to prevent himself from sliding down, how could it be possible to pull the antelope up again?
"Lin Fan Antelope! Hold on, we'll come and help you right away!! Lin Fan heard the shouts of the first mate and the others from behind, but they were too far away from him, with his current condition, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on when they came.
Lin Fan was taken by the antelope and slid out of the edge little by little, and the antelope saw that Lin Fan was sweating nonstop, with a painful expression of strength, and couldn't bear to say in his heart: "Lin Fanjun, let go quickly, otherwise we will all fall!" ”
"Hold on a little longer...... Antelope ...... I'll definitely pull you up. Lin Fan gritted his teeth and said, although he said so, his body was already close to the limit, his body was slowly sliding out of the edge, his right arm holding the antelope was numb, and his left hand could only support the hull of the boat hard, so as not to be pulled down at once.
At this moment, it was indeed the point where Lin Fan had to decide immediately.
To let go or not to let go?
Letting go means that the girl in front of her will fall into the whirlpool and dragon swirling sea.
If he doesn't let go, it means that he will also fall into Yama together, and life and death are unpredictable.
Is the person in front of you really so important?
As for being desperate for yourself?
Below, the giant sinuous body of the red sea dragon churned in the sea, and the whirlpool in the center of the sea grew larger and larger, sweeping through the wreckage of the surrounding ships. Looking at all this in front of him, Lin Fan suddenly remembered that moonlit night - the girl who stretched out her hand to him in the moonlight, but he didn't catch it, that girl was looking at him quietly, but there was an indescribable regret in her eyes, and he couldn't forget that look for the rest of his life.
Suddenly, he figured it out, he clung to the hand of the girl in front of him, and even followed her into the sea of death.
