Chapter 2 Small Islands in the Sea

I had just stepped up to the deck from the cabin in the early morning, only to see the fog on the sea, and I couldn't see the sea water more than ten meters away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It was the fifth day of our voyage, and during those five days we traveled day and night toward the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Although the horsepower of the dhow is not very strong, at this time, we are far, far away from the coastline.

Dr. Cheng's men were seafaring explorers before they became pirates, so we were very well equipped with supplies. There was enough fuel and water for us to continue at sea for a month. Food and vegetables were plentiful, watermaker and two sets of deep-water diving equipment were something I had never thought of, disinfectant water and antibiotics were placed in the dark compartment in the cabin, and more than a dozen CDs were prepared for us to eliminate the boredom of the journey.

I have to say, he's such an expert.

But I didn't expect that we would go to sea so far, of course, in order not to go back, as early as the second day of the sea, I set a bottom line for myself, if I went to sea within ten days, and still did not reach the destination, I would return, send Sophie back, and then with supplies, come again, the second time, I will be alone, and I will never stop until the goal is achieved.

Actually, when I was here, I wanted to be alone, but Sophie insisted again and again, especially after she heard me about the legend of the "Gate of Time and Space". She said that if I did enter the gate of time and space, she would watch me walk in, so that she could untie the knot in her heart and start a new life, otherwise she would never let go of it for the rest of her life.

I also relented for a while, so I agreed. But I didn't expect that in just five days, Sophie and I were so intimate that I secretly swore that I would never let her be hurt, because I had already failed the other three girls, and I would never be sorry for this one again.

The thought of those three girls made it feel like a black hole had been torn in my chest, and even all the waters of the vast Pacific Ocean could not fill it.

I was drowning in grief when Sophie came up from the cabin and exclaimed, "Wow, what a fog!" ā€

At this time, the fog on the sea surface is thicker, standing on the deck, you can no longer see the sea surface beyond the side of the ship, at this time a light wind is blowing on the sea, and the tide ~ humid air hits the face, which is a little cold.

Such extreme weather is difficult to navigate, but fortunately, the control system of this dhow is the most advanced in the world, not only has a global positioning system, but also has its own radar, 24 hours to scan any obstacles and reefs on the way forward and route, this is not enough, as long as the route is set, it can be unmanned around the clock. That's why Sophie and I are so bold that we sleep in the cabin.

As the light wind blew, the sea began to turbulent, and the boat swayed with the waves. At this time, a series of sharp alarms came from the cockpit, and Sophie and I hurriedly rushed in, only to see a striking line of red letters on the display, "Expect a storm, immediately lower the sails and lower the anchor".

Sophie and I had no experience sailing at all, and despite the simplicity of the operation, the two of us wasted minutes on the task assigned on the screen while we were nervous.

When I was done, the red letter reminder on the screen disappeared, and Sophie and I breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, a string of red letters appeared on the screen again, and the alarm sounded again in the cockpit, startling the two of us. We looked at the screen in a panic, only to see that it said, "There is a big wave 300 meters ahead, please turn off the engine immediately and fasten your seat belt!" ā€

We are very skilled in these two operations, but I am very surprised, although the wind is on the sea, but the wind is not large, how can there be a big wave?

Sophie and I stared closely at the tempered glass in front of me, this piece of hard glass, so thick that it was reassuring, but the sea fog outside was still thick, and there was no intention of dissipating at all, which should not be, I clearly remembered the sailing experience I found on the Internet, as long as there was a wind in foggy weather, the fog would quickly dissipate. Could it be that the experience shared is wrong?

Three hundred meters is not far or close, and if there is no fog, we can already see it visually. But for now, we can only wait anxiously.

Two hundred meters! The distance is shown on the screen.

A hundred meters, and after a few tens of seconds, the screen is displayed again.

Fifty meters!

Sophie and I suddenly heard a surge from the front of the boat, it wasn't loud, but it was a very sealed space in the cockpit, and if it could be heard here, it would be quite a big decibel outside.

The big wave was approaching, the two of us nervously grabbed each other's hands tightly~ at this moment, the two of us felt the bow of the boat suddenly rise, the two of us leaned back on the back of the chair suddenly, the rumbling sound came from outside the cockpit, the sound of the huge wave, like tens of thousands of galloping horses galloping across the earth.

Like a toy, the little sailboat was easily tossed up the crest by the incoming waves, and then immediately fell back into the canyon, and the chaotic waves crashed heavily on the glass in front of the cockpit, so frightened that Sophie and I thought that the boat was about to be overturned, and closed our eyes together. But as soon as the waves passed, the boat was still there, and we were still there, but we were not allowed to breathe, and the scene of falling from the peak into the canyon was immediately repeated.

This stimulation from heaven to earth tossed us two little shrimps who have never experienced wind and waves. Soon we were seasick and vomiting.

Just when we wanted to ~ immortal ~ want to die, the fog on the sea finally dissipated, but all the two of us saw was the blue water, and the boat was playing thrilling acrobatics in the wind and waves, as if we would be subverted every second and then slapped into the bottom of the sea by the waves. But this small boat seems to be an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, who is about to die but can't die, and persists tenaciously, as if testing how much our spirit can withstand.

I don't know how long the storm lasted, maybe only a few minutes, or maybe a century, but just as we were about to break down, the storm began to weaken.

Strange as it may seem, the wind and waves came and went quickly, and within a few minutes, the sea was magically calm again, but under the quiet sea, the undercurrent was still very turbulent, and although the boat's engine did not start, it still moved forward quickly.

I clearly remember that we were meeting the wind and waves head-on, and it stands to reason that the direction of the undercurrent should be the opposite of ours, and since there is a direction that is the same, then it is obvious that we have made a U-turn in the wind and waves.

Sophie and I were spitting out the cockpit and the two of us rushed out and stood on the deck, the two of us exhaling a long breath of turbid air and inhaling the fresh air full of sea smell.

Sophie saw that she was full of filth~ things, so she hurriedly went to the cabin to clean, and I took out the golden compass for the first time, only to see the small pointer on it, pointing firmly ahead, the direction of our sailing.

It's strange that we're heading back, but why is the golden compass still pointing forward?

Just when I was puzzled, Sophie, who had already taken off her shirt and was shirtless, ran up from the cabin and beckoned me, "Xiao, look! ā€

She ran up to me and stretched out her snow-white arm to show me the mechanical watch on her wrist, and the hands on it were spinning like a spinning top.

"Magnetic field anomaly!" I exclaimed, I also have a mechanical watch of my own, which was given to me by Yuan Meng when we were in our original world of Paris, but the hands on this watch also rotated like crazy.

I rushed into the cockpit with a sudden heartbeat, only to see that all the dashboards were out of order, all the indicators were on, and the alarm sounded like a pot of porridge. What's going on!

"Come, Shaw," Sophie called to me at the bow of the boat, and I hurried over, and Sophie pointed to the front of the boat, where a small green island had appeared.
