Chapter XVII: Preparing for War

Tang Linlin brought the topic over, and we took it over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was getting late at this time, and we didn't want to sleep in the lounge with more than a dozen unfriendly strangers, Davis and Shui Yushuang also slept in the lounge, and Naqu and two other sailing men worked on the floor in the control room, taking turns to monitor the voyage at night.

The four of us simply lay bunks on the deck, and the sea at night was hot and salty with the salty sea breeze, lying on the deck, and the whole sky of the night fell into our eyes. Without light pollution, the stars in the sky are bright, and the Milky Way is upside down, as if it can be grasped with a single stretch of hand.

After Tang Linlin asked, Tan Jian suddenly opened his mouth with his hands on the back of his head, and Tan Jian, who seemed to have been asleep for a long time, suddenly spoke, and said: "There are six realms in the world, and the drought fish is not among the six realms, it is the same as the mountain spirit, it is an anomaly. The corpse is abnormal, it is difficult to calculate, I can't do anything about this, ask him. Tan Jian opened his eyes and gestured to Zhou Xuanye, who was next to him, leaning his back against the side of the ship. Zhou Xuanye smiled and said: "Actually, it's easy, after all, the drought is not a kuiba, its corpse qi is too heavy, and the characteristics it brings are too obvious, if you want to determine its exact location, it is actually very tolerant." As he spoke, he pointed to the sky and said, "Where the drought is located, the clouds will dissipate, and a vision will appear, which ordinary people cannot see." ”

I said, "Brother Zhou, will you watch it?" ”

He nodded, and then it dawned on me, "No wonder you always run to the top of the boat during the day and look around with binoculars, it turns out that you are looking at this...... Do you see anything? ”

Zhou Xuanye nodded slightly, and said, "Our route is not wrong, Davis and they guessed correctly, that drought is indeed heading in the direction of that uninhabited island." We are currently about half a day away from it. ”

I said, "Does Davis know about this?" Shouldn't we speed up the voyage? ”

Zhou Xuanye spread his hands helplessly and said; "How can we add it, our speed is already the fastest at the moment. A normal vessel will not sail at this speed, let alone this kind of fishing boat, which will cause greater damage to the power system. However, we had been driving for a day during the day, and the distance between us and the Dry Fish had not been significantly shortened, so the ship he was on should have sailed at the fastest speed. Unless they slow down or have some accidents, it's hard for us to catch up. ”

I was amazed, who else but us would have sailed so fast?

How did the drought get on the boat?

Zhou Xuanye was obviously also thinking about this problem, his fingers tapped on the deck, and speculated: "I suspect that someone is helping him." ”

In fact, that's exactly what I thought.

Tang Linlin crawled out of the bunk, touched his chin and said: "However, he has been locked up in the research institute for eight years, he is a drought, and he has no friends and no power, how can he find such a helper in just two days?" Moreover, for ordinary people, it is not a simple matter to get a ship that can go to sea for a long time. ”

Tang Linlin's last sentence was to the point, don't look at us, it seems that it is easy to have a ship, in fact, this is the person above who paid for the relationship and quickly made a good deal. Ordinary people want to get a fishing boat of this size, not to mention the money, the price ranges from 500,000 to 1 million, and there are various procedures for going to sea, and they have to find relevant navigators, even if they have money and relationships, it will take more than a month to really deal with it.

The marley was able to go to sea so quickly, and the speed of the ship was also the fastest, and it was clear that the ship was for him. Compared to those of us who want to cut off the way of the Dryfish, the people on the ship who are willing to escort the Dryfish out to sea are obviously friends and enemies.

In this way, we have to deal with another batch of people.

Obviously, that group of people should still have a lot of power, otherwise they would not have been able to break through the gate so quickly.

Zhou Xuanye said: "This is what we didn't expect before, Davis and them, they must have hidden something." They caught the marl, and they should know the relationship network of the drought. ”

Tang Linlin said; "If their ship doesn't slow down, won't we never be able to catch up? When it gets to that island, we won't have a chance. ”

Tan Jian snorted and said lukewarmly, "Impossible." ”

I immediately reacted to what Tan Jian couldn't have meant, because the boat that the drought fish was on was definitely similar to us, and it was also a fishing boat, because there was no better choice, could it be that someone could charter a passenger ship?

Fishing boats consume fuel, and the power system cannot support high-speed travel for long periods of time, so after a certain period of time, their speed is bound to slow down. Although we are also fishing boats, they are in the light, we are in the dark, once the speed slows down, we can also use the hybrid power system to accelerate, so that although the time is slower, it is only a matter of time before we catch up with them.

During the day, Naqu had already told me about the speed of the ship, so I mentally estimated it and said, "According to this situation, it will take about a week for us to catch up with it." ”

Tang Linlin was stunned, looked at Tan Jian, and then looked at me, and said What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing. I ignored her, looked at the dense stars, and gradually fell asleep, the sea breeze was cool, the temperature was suitable, and I slept quite comfortably all night.

In the early hours of the next morning, we were woken up by Tang Linlin, who dragged me to sit on the deck and watch the sunrise.

The sunrise on the sea is indeed different from other places, where the sea and the sky meet, the world seems to be compressed, and when in this compressed world, a round of orange-red sunset emerges, spreading out the brocade-like morning glow, the beauty is extremely shocking.

I used to be sleepy, but now I'm awake.

Shui Yushuang was very conscious this time, probably because he didn't want to be picked on by me, so he got up very early and cooked a big pot of noodles for breakfast. In fact, after listening to Zhou Xuanye's words last night, I didn't plan to toss her in these little things anymore, but since she has this kind of consciousness, I naturally won't persuade her.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea, although this noodle is simple, but the side dishes are quite high-end, all of them are some sea fish. Although we are not professional fishers, and we don't know how to look for fish, the sea is full of life, and it is still no problem to net one or two fish for dinner and dinner.

A large amount of chili pepper and ginger slices suppressed the fishy smell of the sea fish, and the noodles were still remarkable, which impressed me, this woman is really fast at learning things. We finished eating the noodles with hulala, although the taste was good, but the spicy head was sweaty.

The next two days were very peaceful, and although there were many ships going to sea, the chances of encountering them in the vast sea were very small. The ancients said that don't bully the mountains and the water, that's what it means, you can do anything on the land, once you go into the water, especially when you enter the sea, no matter what your identity was before, how much power you have, the sea doesn't buy it, when it's time to toss you, it's useless to let you be the king of heaven.

If something happens at sea, especially in the high seas, there is little chance of being rescued.

Life on the ship was actually quite boring, on the third day of the cruise, our mobile phones could not receive a signal, and after three days of getting along, the people on the ship knew each other. Those ten men were transferred by supporters of the KB plan, and they were reluctant to disclose what they were doing, but looking at their skills and momentum, they looked like soldiers.

Except for the bearded man, who was a little foul-mouthed, the rest of the people were relatively silent. Although I know that they are not very convinced of me, but those people are still very obedient to the arrangement, business, and the relationship is not close, and I myself have no need to be close, after all, the final position is different, so the days on the ship, basically the four of us in the office are together, in addition to getting closer to Naqu, after all, he is a navigator, at sea, the navigator is the largest, holding the life of a boatload of people, and it is hard to do the work, we all have to give him face.

Zhou Xuanye climbed to the top of the boat from time to time, took a telescope to observe the changes in the clouds, and on the fourth day, Zhou Xuanye said: "The changes in the clouds have slowed down, and they have slowed down." As he spoke, he jumped onto the deck and went into the control room to explain the situation to Naqu.

As soon as he heard the song, he said: "I also want to tell you about this, our power system can still move forward at full speed for five hours, and the remaining distance can be double-powered, and then we need help from people." ”

I said, "Are we still short of people on board?" You just act. ”

According to the plan, we rushed forward for five hours, and then we drove on two powers, and at about * o'clock tonight, we would probably be able to catch up with the ship where the Dryfish were. In other words, tonight, we are going to be in a state of readiness.

The atmosphere on the ship suddenly became tense.
