The other party is a large-scale international marine resources development company, and the so-called marine resources development is actually based on the analysis of various existing route information and historical records, to infer the location of some shipwrecks, and salvage shipwreck materials.

This behavior is much like that of a professional marine grave robber, but it is also legal, because a significant proportion of the resources of wrecked ships found on the high seas can be legally inherited by the finder. Of course, it is impossible to verify whether its resources come from the high seas.

There are two types of such enterprises: one is to salvage modern shipwrecks, dismantle and auction off the hull that has not completely decayed, or sell the obtained resources, and the other is to salvage ancient shipwrecks and sell the antiques on them to collectors or museums.

This company belongs to the latter group, and its main target is ancient shipwrecks, and it has many archaeological consultants, each of which takes a large number of archaeological and marine experts two or three years to complete, and they are also very rich, so it has a large number of advanced equipment and ships.

In order to find the submarine tomb as soon as possible, the third uncle borrowed equipment and personnel from this company in the form of a guarantee, and sent a temporary expedition team of five people in the name of this company. It would have been a good deal. Unexpectedly, only five days before the ship departed, the contact between their logistics department and the ships of the expedition team was cut off.

They waited for 48 hours, and finally sent people to search the missing area, but found nothing. The final information three hours before the disappearance was that the third uncle and two other investigators had entered the ancient tomb under the sea.

The reason why they came to me was that the third uncle told them before he left that if there was an accident, they could call me for help.

The man said on the phone: "We can't confirm the situation inside the ancient tomb yet, and we don't know if these three people are alive or dead, so we are going to organize another team and go in and have a look, because most of us here are talking about theory on paper, and we want to have an experienced guide." At the very least, they must be helped to find the exact location of the tomb. ”

I heard him say the word guide very seriously, as if to imply that he knew my true identity, and I couldn't help but have a little reservation, but this matter was very important, and I had to go there myself, so I had to delay the army and said: "I don't know what the specific situation is over there, or wait for me to come over." ”

The other person said, "Okay, please hurry as soon as possible." ”

I hung up the phone, decided to leave immediately, hurriedly packed my things, and asked the hotel to book me the earliest flight ticket to Haikou. I have been to Xisha once and know that if you want to get to the real Xisha Islands, you need at least three means of transportation to alternate between planes, cars, and boats.

For the next ten hours, I hurried non-stop, and I didn't have time to think nonsense, just kept praying that things wouldn't go for the worst. At noon the next day, my plane arrived in Haikou, and their company had already sent a car to pick me up.

The person who came to pick me up was surnamed Liu, and he told me that this time the senior management of their company attached great importance to this matter, because the person who disappeared with the third uncle was a high-level son, and this project was implemented in the South China Sea, so it could not be publicized, so it was necessary to look for people from the private sector.

I didn't understand what was going on with the people in the Ming room at first, but then I figured it out, and I didn't think it was funny, but Master Liu was just an ordinary driver, and I didn't know more details, so I chatted with him for a while, but found that the car actually drove to the dock.

I was inexplicable, and at this time, a middle-aged man came over and asked, "Is it Mr. Wu?" ”

I nodded, and he opened the door and said, "Please come with me, the boat is about to leave." ”

I was very confused and said, "Boat, what kind of boat?" Didn't you take me to the hotel? ”

He shook his head and said: "The time is too urgent, we must rush to the place within seven hours and complete this operation within 10 hours, otherwise it will enter the half-month typhoon season, and the situation will be even more troublesome without sea support at that time." ”

As soon as I heard them make their own decisions, I felt a little uncomfortable, but it was a matter of the third uncle's life, and I had no other choice, so I had to mutter, carry my luggage and walk with him, and when I arrived at the dock, he pointed to a very old 7-ton iron fishing boat and said, "This is it, our boat this time." ”

I thought he was joking, and he helplessly explained: "There is no way, our large-scale search in that area has attracted the attention of the border guards, and we have to do a camouflage, you can rest assured, the equipment on board is already the most advanced, and there is absolutely no problem with sailing." ”

Someone on the boat took my luggage, he said a few words to the fishermen on the boat in the local dialect, and then shook hands with me and said, "Miss Ning is in charge of some things on the boat, she is right behind you, good luck!" ”

They were so efficient that I hadn't kept up with the pace, he had already left quickly, I turned my head and saw a young woman with short hair in a tight diving suit looking at me, she looked at me as if I was standing there innocently, couldn't help but smile, beckoned and said, "Follow me." ”
