More than two hours later, they arrived safely at the port, quickly boarded a foreign freighter, and half an hour later, left the port of Tianjin and sailed into the Yellow Sea.

After sailing south from the Yellow Sea for 20 hours, the freighter entered the East China Sea and changed course to continue eastward.

During this period, they only stayed in the crew cabin prepared for them in advance, and they never even went out to eat, and someone would bring them in, and all their actions were carefully arranged.

But after about 10 hours, there was a knock on their hatch.

Hua Ye opened the hatch, and a foreigner nodded at him and said something in English, which means that he has arrived at the place.

Everyone looked at Hua Ye, and everyone was a little confused for a while, because in the original plan, they would have to sail for at least another 30 hours to reach the designated destination, why did someone notify the place so quickly.

Hua Ye turned his head and said to everyone easily: "Comrades, we have to get off the boat." ”

"Disembark?" The fat man was the first to be puzzled: "Hua Ye, is it a place or a ......?"

Hua Ye shook his head and said, "The place must not have arrived, but it is time to change ships." ”

Gao Chao was also taken aback, and said, "Change ships? What ship to change? I guess there's no such step in the plan. ”

Hua Ye smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, everyone, because I have to take care of everything to prevent someone from following us, so I have to keep this intermediate ship change link secret, but please rest assured, everything has been arranged." ”

After he finished speaking, he took his backpack and walked out of the cabin first, and the people behind him looked at each other, but no one made a sound, they all quickly grabbed their equipment and walked towards the deck with him.

Gao Chao is in front of Xinlan. He cautiously glanced back at Xinlan and asked softly, "Xinlan, you don't know about changing ships?" ”

Xinlan smiled helplessly, nodded and did not speak.

Gao Chao secretly said that this flower master is really good, and he is not very worried about his own people, but he can indeed ensure his own safety by doing so. Even if someone is following, it is easy to get rid of the other person.

When everyone came to the deck, they found that it was late at night on the sea, and a full moon was in the sky, illuminating the calm sea deep and beautiful.

There was already the captain standing on the deck, and he was shaking hands with Hua Ye and hugging him, as if saying goodbye.

On the side of the freighter, there were already two crew members who lowered a lifeboat down.

After Hua Ye said goodbye to the captain, he beckoned everyone to climb down the gangway. Carefully sit into the lifeboat that is not yet in the water.

After all seven people were in place, Hua Ye gestured upward, the two sailors nodded, and the lifeboat slowly entered the water.

Then everyone untied the cable tied to the lifeboat, and Hua Ye beckoned everyone to paddle hard, so it didn't take long for the lifeboat to be far away from the freighter.

I only heard two short but loud whistles between the clear sea and the sky. Hua Ye smiled and waved at the freighter, and the freighter set sail again. Heading east.

Seeing the freighter drifting away under the moonlight, it had soon turned into a black spot, and the fat man in the lifeboat here was a little panicked.

"I said Hua Ye......" The fat man couldn't help but say, "Are we going to change ships?" But what about the ship? Are they late? ”

Hua Ye didn't even glance at his watch, so he smiled and said, "They won't be late, never, because I didn't set a time with them at all." ”

"What?" The fat man exclaimed, "No...... There is no definite time. How long are we going to wait? ”

Hua Ye seemed to be helpless, and said: "This all depends on their mood, I have known these people for at least ten years, but they have always been like this, but please rest assured." They're going to show up tonight. ”

As he spoke, Hua Ye took out a device from his backpack, and when he turned on the switch, a small red light flashed on it.

Hua Ye explained that this is a specially designed positioning instrument, and the signal it sends is encrypted, and there is only one receiving device in the world that can locate it, and that receiving device is on the ship they are waiting for.

So he smiled again and told everyone, don't worry, now that you have time, you should sleep a little longer, I'm afraid that after waiting for their ship, you won't be able to sleep if you want to.

Everyone looked at Hua Ye in confusion, and the fat man couldn't help but ask why.

But Hua Ye just smiled mysteriously and said, "When you get on the thief ship, you will naturally understand." ”

It's hard to imagine that such a quiet night could be above an ocean.

The sea breeze was gentle, as gentle as a girl's fingertips across the skin, lying on his back in the lifeboat, squinting at a bright moon in the sky, he suddenly found himself sleepy, looked to the side, and found that everyone except him had fallen asleep.

The night was still so quiet, even the fat man who had been sleeping and snoring didn't make any sound.

Gao Chao turned his head again, and then saw Xinlan lying beside him, she slept so sweetly, like a baby in swaddling clothes, Gao Chao looked at her quiet face in the moonlight, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

He quietly took off his coat and carefully covered Xinlan, and although his movements were already light, Xinlan still woke up.

When she opened her beautiful eyes, she saw Gao Chao, as well as the coat on her body, and suddenly a burst of sweetness came to her heart.

Looking under the moonlight, her originally fair face suddenly turned red, and she was about to say something, but found that Gao Chao had turned his head to look behind her.

"What's wrong?" Xinlan couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Gao Chao hurriedly "shh

"Did you hear that?" Gao Chao whispered: "It's the sound of the engine." ”

Xinlan listened carefully, and sure enough, on the distant sea, there were some inconspicuous sounds, but it sounded like it should be from the ship's engine.

"They're coming?" Xinlan said happily.

As the sound of the engine became louder and louder, the shadow of a ship appeared from the place where the sea and the sky met, and in the moonlight, it was a crimson ship, which looked very special.

Everyone on the lifeboat also woke up one after another, and when Xia Qing glanced at the ship, he couldn't help but exclaim: "What, that...... Is that a research ship? ”

Hua Ye was still lying there lazily, he didn't even want to open his eyes, and said helplessly: "Oh no, no, why is it so fast this time, I haven't woken up yet." ”

When the crimson research ship shone its lights at them, everyone could already see many details on the ship. (To be continued.) )
