[26] The Lost Laboratory

Sid walked out of the small office and asked, "Are you sure it's Ningen?" ”

"The Doctor is Ningne! You can see that this is a virtual image of the radar feedback, and the backhaul data shows that it is only 5 meters long, which should be a young Ningen. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The soldier next to the console pointed to the radar screen and replied.

Sid saw the monitoring map on the radar, and glanced back at Lin Fan and Antelope, with a puzzled look on his face, but Lin Fan and Antelope didn't know why this little Ning En appeared here.

"Drop the 'foam' detector now! Get ready to approach it! Sid ordered.

"Yes!" The soldier in the command room replied.

Lin Fan and Antelope glanced at each other and said in unison: "Dr. Sid, we also want to go and see that little Ningen, okay?" ”

Sid looked back at them, then nodded.

So Lin Fan and Antelope came to the ejection capsule again, followed the pilot to take the "foam", the gate of the catapult tunnel opened, and the "foam" began to enter the ejection track, and then with a bang, the "foam" was ejected into the sea.

A large bubble disappeared from the transparent shell of the "bubble", and the line of sight in front of them gradually became clear, Lin Fan and the others soon found Xiao Ningen in the sea, it was cruising between the "Seawolf" and the "Hague", and the indicator lights on the two submarines reflected its ghostly white figure.

"Bubble" approached Xiao Ningen, Lin Fan and Lingzi heard its low murmur from the sea, and the two of them hurriedly turned on the language system to figure out what it was saying.

Xiao Ningen saw the "bubble" approaching, and immediately leaned over, and when he saw Lin Fan and the antelope in the "bubble", he was even more excited, and muttered.

"Antelope, do you understand what it's talking about?" Lin Fan looked down at the tablet and asked, the voice of Xiao Ning'en translated above was-"...... Come...... Come...... Come ......"

Nishimura Antelope said, "Could it be that it wants us to go with it?" ”

"Follow it?" Lin Fan looked outside and found that the little Ning En was swimming around in front of them repeatedly, as if he really wanted to take them somewhere.

"Please contact Dr. Sid!" Lin Fan hurriedly said to the two drivers.

β€œOK!” They used the communicator to connect Sid in the command room, and Lin Fan said into the communicator screen: "Dr. Sid, this little Ningen seems to want to take us somewhere." ”

"Mr. Lin, are you sure?"

"Antelope and I both think so."

"Good! Go and see. Let the shuttle also be dispatched! Sid replied.

After a while, the shuttle ejected from the "Hague" and joined the "bubble", and after the docking of the two was completed, Lin Fan and the others began to follow Xiao Ningen towards the vast deep sea.

Xiao Ningen led the way in front, and Lin Fan and the others followed, passing through many submarine mountains and plains on the way, but there was still a vast and dark deep sea around them, and they didn't find anything strange.

After following Xiao Ningen for two hours, the speed of the probe slowed down, and the shuttle sent a communication: "Will, we can't go any further, otherwise there won't be enough fuel." ”

"Wait, we'll report to the doctor right away!" The black driver replied.

The white co-pilot next to him switched the communicator to the command room of the "Seawolf" and reported to Sid: "Doctor, we don't have enough fuel to continue exploring, do you want to stop the operation?" ”

"Have you found anything special so far?"

"No, Doctor."

"Well," Sid thought.

Seeing that Xiao Ningen in front of him was about to disappear into the dark seawater, the Nishimura antelope on the side said anxiously: "Dr. Sid! If you don't keep up with that little Ningen, it's going to go away! ”

"I understand your feelings, Miss Nishimura, don't rush me!" Sid replied coldly, "- keep following it, and we will come and meet you!" ”

"Yes!" The white co-pilot replied.

"Bubble" and the shuttle began to continue to follow Xiao Ningen again, Lin Fan looked at the nervous appearance of the antelope just now, and couldn't help but think of what he had experienced with her before, so he asked, "Antelope, that ...... Actually, I have a question I want to ask you for a long time, why do you care so much about Ning En's affairs? ”

"Because...... I want to fulfill my brother's wish. Antelope lowered his head slightly as he spoke.

"Well, Dr. Nishimura, what does he want?"

Unexpectedly, the antelope actually bent down and bowed deeply, and said, "I'm sorry Lin Fanjun!" I can't tell you right now. ”

"Well, it's okay! It's me who is not good, you don't need to apologize to me......" Lin Fan said busily.

Lin Fan didn't dare to ask Lingzi about Ning En after that, and after about an hour, the "Seawolf" and the "Hague" followed from behind, because of the lack of fuel, the "Bubble" and the Shuttle separated and returned to the "Seawolf" and "The Hague" respectively, and the two submarines continued to follow Xiao Ningen.

******

After two days of sailing north with Little Ningen, the "Seawolf" and "The Hague" arrived at the junction of the Southern Ocean and the South Pacific. Not long after entering this sea area, Xiao Ningen, who had been swimming non-stop for two days, stopped.

The fleet didn't find anything special in the vicinity, and no one knew why Xiao Ningen suddenly stopped advancing, maybe it was just tired of swimming and simply wanted to rest.

In view of this, the "Seawolf" and "The Hague" also surfaced to allow the crew to go out of the cabin and rest after not seeing the light of day for many days. On this day, Lin Fan went out to the deck of the "Seawolf" with everyone to enjoy the first rays of sunshine after they left the polar night of the polar circle.

The top surface of the "Seawolf" hull is flat, like a baguette with a piece of the top surface cut off, after the surface of the sea, a fence will rise around the top deck, most of the people who go out of the cabin to rest will be active in this fence, but there are also a few people will step over this railing, walk to the hull flooded by the sea to relax, most of these people are smokers on the ship, suppressed for a long time in the ship where fireworks are strictly prohibited, just to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog here.

The ocean is still cold and bleak, fortunately, the winter sun in the southern hemisphere is still bright, so that people will not shiver from the cold, Lin Fan took a deep breath towards the blue sea that is connected to the clear sky, and the clear and cold air suddenly filled his lungs, making his whole body refreshed.

"What are you thinking, you say?" Xue Panru on the deck said.

"Who knows what he thinks~ I don't care~" Chen Bo on the side said angrily.

Lin Fan followed their gaze towards the other end of the deck, and found that Sid in a black trench coat was standing at the end of the deck, he looked at the sea silently, with a gloomy look on his face, he kept it like this for a while, and no one dared to go over and disturb him.

"Yutong, what do you think he is thinking? Don't you know him best? Wu Lingling looked at Sid and asked.

Ji Yutong shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know, or that she didn't want to think about it. The thoughts in Sid's heart, Lin Fan, could probably guess a thing or two, it should be about that little Ningen, it suddenly stagnated in this sea area, but there was nothing special found in this vicinity, which was completely confusing.

"Lingling, why do you care about him so much, let's talk about something interesting, I've been suffocated in the past two days! I didn't expect it to be more depressing to come out than to stay at that Antarctic base. Chen Bo said that in the past two days, he and Wu Lingling, Ji Yutong, and Xue Panru have been staying in the "Seawolf" cabin and can't do anything, which is an extremely painful thing for Chen Bo, who has to exercise every day and release sweat.

"You guys, don't complain here and there, it's good to come out! Didn't you still beg to come out before? At this time, the first mate, who was smoking a cigarette outside the railing, came over and said.

"First mate, you're different from us! You can still take that 'foam' detector with Lin Fan and Antelope to the monster's lair, and we can only squeeze into that small room and wait for you to come back and tell the story~! Chen Bo and Xue Panru complained almost at the same time.

"Ningen is not a monster, they are friendly to us!" Nishimura Antelope, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke at this time, every time she talked about Ning En, she was always so serious, Lin Fan saw her like this and hurriedly persuaded others: "Those Ning En are just a little beyond our imagination, you don't call them monsters anymore." ”

"Isn't it? It's just a bit beyond my imagination?! They scare me out of my sleep! Xue Panru said with an exaggerated expression.

At this time, Ji Yutong suddenly pointed to the sea in the distance, and said in a calm tone: "Say Cao Cao Cao arrived, look, the things that make you can't sleep are out of the water." ”

There was an exclamation from the deck, and everyone saw that a milky white back and round head were exposed on the sea not far from the side of the submarine, it was the little Ningen! It's coming to the surface.

"Oh my God! ~How did it come up!? Xue Panru shouted, he grabbed Chen Bo's arm next to him violently, so that Chen Bo couldn't help but scold: "Dead fat man, why are you holding so hard?" Nails pick at me! ”

"Uh...... It must have wanted to come up and take a breath. Lin Fan looked at Xiao Ningen who surfaced and said.

Little Ningen, who had surfaced, let out a murmur, looked around for a moment, and then quickly swam towards the "Seawolf", the people on the deck side of the "Seawolf" hurriedly retreated, and the people outside the railing rushed back with smoke in their mouths.

"Ouch hey! It's coming! Xue Panru shouted and pulled Chen Bo's arm and hurriedly retreated, Wu Lingling and the first mate also took a few steps back, only Lin Fan, Lingzi and Ji Yutong remained by the fence.

Xiao Ningen quickly swam to the edge of the deck and shouted excitedly at Lin Fan and the antelope, the antelope hurriedly waved his hand at it in response, and Ji Yutong on the side saw this and said, "It came specifically to find you?" ”

"Well, it recognizes us." Antelope nodded.

Xiao Ningen kept muttering at them excitedly, but neither Lin Fan nor Antelope could understand the meaning of its call, because the current Ning'en language system was on the "bubble" detector.

Lin Fan glanced at Sid at the other end of the deck, and found that he was also looking at this side, but his attention didn't seem to be all on Xiao Ningen, he looked at Xiao Ningen, and then looked at the sea in the distance, and his face gradually became solemn.

Lin Fan followed his line of sight and suddenly found that there were a lot of bubbles on the surface of the sea where Xiao Ningen floated just now, and the fog began to spread over there at some point.

The others soon noticed the abnormality on the sea, and they all became uneasy, a thick mist drifted in, Ji Yutong fanned it lightly with his hand, and said in an uncertain tone: "These are water vapor...... Like it came up from the sea? ”

At this time, Sid at one end of the deck suddenly strode through the crowd, walked to the hatch on the top of the submarine, opened the hatch and returned to the ship, as soon as he entered the ship, a radio soon came from the deck: "Attention all personnel! Please return to the ship quickly! Please return to the ship quickly! ”

Everyone realized that the situation was not good, and immediately rushed into the ship, Lin Fan and they were crowded among a group of American soldiers, and finally returned to the cabin, but not long after entering the ship, they immediately received an order from Sid, Sid asked him, Lingzi, Ji Yutong and the first mate to be on standby in the command room.

The four of them came to the command room and saw Sid staring at the console's large surveillance screen, which was an image of the situation outside the submarine.

"Dr. Sidβ€”" Ji Yutong began.

Sid didn't reply: "That little Ningen has started to dive, there is a situation under the sea." ”

Lin Fan looked at the monitoring screen of the console, which was an underwater scene, he saw Xiao Ningen's pale figure looming in the dim seawater, the "Seawolf" and the "Hague" were diving with it, and the bottom of the sea was constantly bubbling up, these bubbles were constantly surging up, Lin Fan couldn't help but think of the night more than two months ago - the night that changed their lives, and the sea surface of that night was also bubbling......

"Seawolf" and "Hague" followed Xiao Ningen to dive slowly, Lin Fan and they stared intently at the big screen of the console, after they dived for more than an hour, there was something strange in the sea, and there was a light under the dark deep sea - it was a kind of white shimmer, everyone looked at the light, and found that there was a cluster of light sources under the dark and deep seabed! At first, this light source was just a cluster of fireflies, like a dark night starlight, but as the submarine dived deeper, it felt that it was getting bigger and brighter, and finally it was like a blazing glow, like a white mang, as if it was a small sun hidden under the deep sea!

At this moment, a white creature suddenly swam out of the deep sea illuminated by the light source, and it swam straight to Xiao Ningen and the two submarines. Its size is about the same size as Xiao Ningen, and its appearance is not much different.

The two little Nynn met in the middle of the sea, rubbing their bodies against each other, frolicking, and then swimming towards the deep-sea light source below, and the "Seawolf" and "The Hague" followed them without hesitation.

The light source body drew closer and closer to them, gradually revealing its hidden true faceβ€”the undulating ruins, the criss-crossing skeletons, and a magnificent structure appeared in front of them, like the wreckage of a great ship and an abandoned castle, and in the center of this structure, there was a cloud of white light, which was as bright as a flame and like a bright sun, and reflected the whole darkest sea.
