Lin Fan didn't expect Li Jia to respond to him in such a way, his shoulders were extremely warm at the moment, and he even felt a little hot, "It turns out that she doesn't hate me......" He thought to himself, at this moment his heart seemed to be filled with a bubble of happiness, for the past three years, he had been haunted by her, and tonight, on this strange and terrifying sea, he understood this girl's mind for the first time.

Lin Fan looked down, he wanted to hold Li Jia's hand and let her know his mood at the moment, but at this moment, Professor Li Dong and First Officer Li Gang broke into the cockpit.

"Students, check your life jackets, and everyone is ready to get on the inflatable boat." Professor Li Dong shouted.

Hearing the news, Lin Fan's heart tensed for a moment, and he put down the hand he wanted to hold Li Jia, and there was a wail in the cockpit, what everyone was worried about finally happened, they were about to abandon the ship and flee.

Li Dong instructed the squad leader Feng Hao: "Feng Hao, you take a few classmates to follow the first mate down to carry things!" ”

"Yes, Professor." Feng Hao replied a little hurriedly, he hurriedly patted a few boys and asked them to go over together, and Lin Fan was among them.

"Come with me, boys." First mate Li Gang beckoned, and began to walk to the cabin below with the squad leaders Feng Hao, Chen Bo, and Xu Jin.

"The others come with me!" Professor Li Dong said, and the rest of the people followed him out of the cab, and Li Jia looked back as he left Lin Fan.

The two looked at each other, as if they had a thousand meanings, but neither of them spoke.

"Lin Fan, come here!" Xu Jin behind him shouted, "Eh, good! Lin Fan hurriedly turned around and answered, and when he turned back, Li Jia's back had disappeared outside the door.

WAITING FOR LIN FAN, FENG HAO AND OTHERS TO CARRY UP THE SUPPLIES SUCH AS WATER AND FOOD, ONLY PROFESSOR LI DONG AND JAPANESE SCIENTIST NISHIMURA XIONG WERE LEFT ON THE DECK, AND THE FRESH-KEEPING BAG ON THE DECK WAS OPENED BY THEM, REVEALING A WHITE-FLOWERED CREATURE CORPSE INSIDE, LIN FAN SAW THAT THIS THING WAS A BIT SIMILAR TO THE HUMANOID SEA MONSTER "NINGEN".

I saw that Li Dong and Nishimura Xiong continued to cut and extract the tissues of the corpse with knives and syringes, and put these tissues and organs into several specimen boxes next to them.

At the end, Li Gang, the first mate who came out of the cabin with three large boxes of water, shouted: "Young men, quickly move things to the stern, everyone is behind." Lin Fan and the others hurriedly loaded the food on their backs and followed the first mate to the back of the deck.

At the aft platform were three yellow inflatable boats, two of which were occupied, and the other empty.

Captain McCoster and first mate Li Gang took Lin Fan to distribute food and water evenly among the three ships, and then said to first mate Li Gang in English: "You take one of the teams to go first." ”

First mate Li Gang nodded, and boarded one of the inflatable boats, which had Ji Yutong, Xue Fatzi, Chen Bo, and Wu Lingling.

Lin Fan saw that Li Jia was on the second inflatable boat, so he also wanted to follow this boat, there were Li Jia, Jia Jun, Mao Fei and Xu Jin on this boat, Mao Fei saw that Lin Fan was about to get on the boat and said: "This boat is full!" Go to that ship! ”

"Isn't it 5 people on a boat?" Lin Fan said.

Mao Fei said angrily: "Then there has to be someone who can drive a boat, will you?" ”

Xu Jin couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted: "Mao Fei, shut up." Lin Fan, you sit here with me, and I'll sit on that ship. After speaking, Xu Jin glanced at Lin Fan and asked him to sit next to Li Jia, as Lin Fan's good buddy, he already knew the little Jiujiu in Lin Fan's heart.

Lin Fan gave Xu Jin a big hug, and then sat next to Li Jia, Li Jia looked at Lin Fan, there seemed to be a hint of joy in his eyes, and the two sat side by side, which made Mao Fei very unhappy.

After a while, Nishimura came to the stern with a few specimen boxes, McCoster pointed to Lin Fan and their boat, and Nishimura Yu boarded the boat with the specimen boxes, sat down next to the engine, and began to sail the boat away from the yacht.

"Professor Nishimura, what about Professor Li and others?" Jia Jun, who is immersed in Japanese ACG culture, is very good at Japanese, and asks directly in Japanese.

"Well, you Professor Li still have some things he hasn't done." Nishimura replied in rusty Chinese.

Lin Fan and the others were already about a few dozen meters away from the yacht, and the inflatable boat of Ji Yutong, Xue Fatzi and others was next to them, but they still didn't see the third inflatable boat sail out.

The waves on the surface of the sea were not large, but the water was constantly bubbling out like cola, and it was unusually turbid, and the whole sea seemed to be boiling because of the dead fish and marine animal carcasses floating on the sea.

"Why hasn't the third ship come out yet?" Lin Fan said, he was a little worried about Xu Jin.

"Don't worry, they'll be out soon." Li Jia on the side said to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan nodded, he looked down and saw Li Jia's hand next to his, he couldn't help but remember the idea of wanting to hold her hand just now, and his heart beat faster, Li Jia looked at him with a strange expression, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Fan smiled, he retracted his hand, and kept saying in his heart: "Calm down, calm down!" Mao Fei on the side saw the appearance of the two **, and turned his head unhappily.

After a while, the third inflatable boat finally sailed out of the yacht, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, everyone looked towards the inflatable boat, with the light on the bow, everyone gradually saw the people on it, there were three people on it, it was Feng Hao, Xu Jin, and Captain McCoster......

"What about the professor and Linda?" Everyone asked the people on the third boat.

"Professor...... Professor...... He—he won't get on the boat! Squad leader Feng Hao's voice was filled with a cry of collapse.

"Professor, why won't he get on the boat???"

The squad leader Feng Hao was emotional, whimpering and speechless, and Xu Jin on the side said blankly: "Professor, he wants to go to the other side of the sea, to the center of that light......"

"What?!! Professor: Is he dying?! Why is that? Xue Fatzi and Chen Bo on the boat next to him shouted.

"What about Linda??" Wu Lingling asked.

"Linda asked us to move the computer and equipment onto the ship, and then she said that she would accompany Professor Li to go there alone, and she would not get on the boat." Xu Jin replied, Lin Fan saw that Xu Jin and their ship really had a bunch of equipment packed in waterproof bags.

"First mate, why don't you stop them!?" Several excited children shouted at the first mate Li Gang.

First mate Li Gang sighed and said, "I already quarreled with them just now, but your professor is too stubborn, saying that this is an opportunity that he can't miss, even if he dies, he will pass." ”

McCoster, the captain of the third ship, probably understood what the children were arguing about, but without saying a word, he silently lit his pipe, took a few puffs, and said half Chinese and half English: "Li, It'stimetogo (It's time to go)." ”

First mate Li Gang nodded, and then motioned to Lin Fan and Nishimura Xiong on their boat, and the three of them pulled the motor of the inflatable boat together and marched towards the dark sea in the distance.

Lin Fan sat on the bow of the boat with a searchlight to shine ahead, under the moonlight is a piece of inky seawater, the range of the searchlight is limited, only dozens of meters away, there are pieces of fish carcasses floating on the sea, in addition to small tuna, jellyfish and other plankton, there are also larger dolphins, batfish, and sharks, and sometimes you can see one or two whale carcasses.

Li Jia, who was sitting next to Lin Fan, looked a little timid, curled up beside Lin Fan, Lin Fan looked at her pitiful appearance, and wanted to hold her hand tightly and tell her that he was by his side, but he only dared to think about it, and he really wanted to do it but retreated.

"Lin Fan! You're dead! Lin Fan secretly scolded himself in his heart, because of his hesitant character, he didn't know how many times he missed the opportunity to make a final decision in the past few years in college, sometimes he knew that this was the death hole of his own character, but he couldn't overcome it, maybe this is the so-called character determines fate!

At the stern of Lin Fan's boat, Jia Jun looked at the yacht behind him that gradually melted into the light of the sea, and asked Nishimura Xiong in Japanese: "Arnold, Professor Nishimura-san, why didn't Professor Li Dong and Professor Linda run away with us?" ”

Nishimura replied with Chinese, "Professor Li Dong and Linda...... There's something that has to be done...... kid, your professor is a great guy and I respect him......"

Nishimura looked at the disappearing yacht behind him, and there was something indescribable in his eyes, but his eyes were quickly clouded with a layer of fear and unease.

Nishimura anxiously shouted at the two advancing ships next to him, "Stop!!" STOP！！ ”

First mate Li Gang and Captain McCoster heard Nishimura's shout, slowed down their advance, and leaned over the inflatable boat, "What's the situation, Mr. Nishimura?" McCoster asked in English.

"Look ......" Nishimura pointed to the pillar of light on the other side of the sea, and Captain McCoster and First Officer Li Gang glanced at it, and immediately showed a worried expression.

"Lee! How far have we sailed? McCoster Road.

First mate Li Gang looked at the time and said, "We have been driving for more than half an hour, and it should be 7 or 8 nautical miles." ”

"Count how far we are from that light." McCoster asked.

"Yes!" First mate Li Gang immediately took out the instrument from the inflatable boat and began to calculate.

Lin Fan and the others already knew what they were worried about at this moment, because the pillar of light on the other side of the sea looked as far away as just now, and they didn't seem to have sailed away from this sea area at all!

"Captain...... We were nine nautical miles away, just ......as we were when we abandoned ship," Li Gang's reply quickly confirmed their suspicions.

"How so!? Does that mean we can't escape?! Mao Fei exclaimed excitedly.

"Don't get excited, lad! We're figuring it out! First mate Li Gang said.

"Have you figured out a way to do that!?"

“…… Nope"

"Then think about it! My life is in the hands of you, I'm so young, my dad still has his billions of industries waiting for me to take over! I can't be fine! ”

"Mao Fei, you're enough at this time, don't make any more trouble!" The squad leader Feng Hao said righteously.

"you! It's all Professor Li Dong's fault for bringing us out, but he doesn't care about our safety! What kind of teacher is this TM! ”

Syllable!!

A loud slap sounded, and Feng Hao, the squad leader who was about to jump over from another boat to teach Mao Fei a lesson, stopped jumping ship.

Lin Fan looked at the person in front of him who slapped Mao Fei in disbelief, and Mao Fei looked at her like a chicken, his mouth opened into a huge O-shape, and he forgot to touch his face that was beginning to flush.

The applause of the big-eyed girl Wu Lingling sounded on the other boat, "Good fight!" Li Jia! She shouted, it was not Wu Lingling who slapped Mao Fei this time, but the goddess in Lin Fan's heart, Li Jia.

"Don't say that about Professor Li! Professor, professor, he is the person I respect the most!! Li Jia said excitedly.

Mao Fei stayed there and couldn't say anything, he had never experienced this kind of setback, a female man like Wu Lingling beat him, just forget it, this time it's Li Jia! A girl he desperately wants to please!

After Li Jia finished beating Mao Fei, he immediately sat back on the boat, buried his head in his knees and trembled and cried.

Lin Fan's mood when he saw this scene can be said to be very complicated, one is the joy born of the blow to his rival, and the other is the feeling of watching the girl he likes cry but not knowing what to do.

Captain McCoster seemed to be blind to the lively scene just now, and said in English to Li Gang and Nishimura: "Li, Professor Nishimura, turn up your engine horsepower to the maximum, follow me!" ”
