Chapter 33: Rescued
"Boom..."A whistle pierced the sky, and the assistant reported the progress to the professor: "Professor, we have reached the area where the 'unicorn' is active. ”
"What about the 'unicorn'?" The assistant shook his head and said, "No trace of the 'unicorn' has been found." Maybe I'm hiding in the water. ”
The professor nodded, not saying anything more.
The sun is setting, and the remnant sun is like blood. Christina looked at the bright red sunset in the distance, and her heart was at peace. "It's been a long time since I've seen such beautiful nature." Christina laughed at herself.
Cristina, who was immersed in her own world, suddenly moved her ears, "How did I hear the whistle?" Christina no longer admired the beautiful scenery and hurried to the sea.
The sea in the distance reflects the afterglow of the setting sun, emitting a little golden light. Christina looked at the sea with some helplessness. "Well, it's my auditory hallucinations, and yes, I'll probably never go back." Christina was furious, pulling at her hair desperately.
Wang Qi, who was in the sea, sensed the rapid change of light, and he quickly surfaced to observe Christina. It was just that Wang Qi, who had just poked his head out, found a ship not far away. "If there is a boat, won't the woman on the island be saved?"
Wang Qi dived into the water and slowly swam closer to the boat. The professor stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the island not far away, and said to the assistant who was standing aside, "You say, it would be nice if Christina were on that island." ”
The assistant smiled, "I think Christina will be fine, right, Professor." "Just be as you think." The professor didn't say anything more.
What the professor didn't know was that now Wang Qi was hiding in the water and carefully looking at the two people on the bow of the boat. The young man Wang Qi standing in the back seat didn't know him, but the old man Wang Qi standing in the front was a little familiar.
Who could it be? Wang Qi couldn't imagine where he had seen this old man. "Forget it, it's important to send the women of the island to this ship."
And just after Wang Qi said the serious thing in his heart, Wang Qi suddenly remembered when he had seen this old man, "Isn't it the old bastard who shot me with a pistol last time?" As soon as he thought of this, Wang Qi felt a little pain in the top of his head.
"I'll settle the score with you when I get the woman on the boat."
Not long after Wang Qi swam away from the boat, the assistant found the information recorded on the screen, "Professor, it seems that the 'unicorn' has been here just now." "What?" The professor was taken aback when he heard this. He hurriedly scanned the information on the screen, and couldn't stop sneering: "You're really here." ”
He turned to his assistant and said, "Now the 'unicorn' is swimming in this sea, let's rest for one night first, and tomorrow we will officially catch the 'unicorn'." ”
There was no word all night, and the dawn of the next day came quietly. After absorbing the purple qi, Wang Qi swam to the vicinity of the fishing boat. The professor standing at the bow of the boat saw a dark shadow flash in the water, and a little smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "I've been waiting for you to come to me for a long time." ”
Just as the professor was about to give the order to catch the 'unicorn', Wang Qi suddenly emerged from the water and swam back.
"The damn 'unicorn' still wants to run away and chase it." The fishing boat started slowly and followed behind the 'Unicorn'.
Wang Qi looked back at the ship that was chasing him and sneered. Originally, Wang Qi was still worried about how to attract the attention of the people on the boat, so he drove the boat out of the shallow water. But when Wang Qi saw that the professor was already standing at the bow of the ship, he decided to show up to attract the old man.
The plan has a certain risk, if the old man is not attracted by Wang Qi, then Wang Qi can only give up the plan and re-plan. But now, seeing that the fishing boats are chasing so closely, it is obvious that the professor is not generally interested in Wang Qi.
Standing at the bow of the boat, the professor looked at the 'unicorn' that was speeding on the sea, and only felt a little puzzled, how could this 'unicorn' have the feeling of leading the way ahead.
And the professor noticed that the fishing boat was chasing the 'unicorn' around a nearby island.
Awakened by the morning sun, Christina stretched, stood up and saw a fishing boat.
"I'm not dreaming." After pinching herself quickly and confirming that it was not a dream, Christina exclaimed, "Hey, hey, there's someone here." Hey, do you hear the people on board, there's someone here. Christina shouted as she ran to the highest point on the island.
The professor twisted his neck and said to the assistant next to him, "Did you hear anything?" The assistant listened carefully and said, "It seems that yes, I feel that it is coming from the island next to me." ”
The professor brought a telescope and looked towards the island. At a glance, the professor's hands trembled violently. The telescope fell on the deck of the ship with a "snap". "Professor, what are you?" The assistant picked up the binoculars and got up, seeing that the professor was trembling with excitement.
The professor grabbed the assistant's shoulders with both hands and said excitedly: "Christina is still alive, Christina is still alive, great, God willing." The professor's excited words were not repeated, but the assistant understood, and he said happily, "Professor, are you telling the truth?" That voice is Christina's, and Christina is on that island? ”
The assistant broke free of the professor and held up the binoculars to look at the island. I saw a shadow standing on an island waving. The assistant's eyes moistened a little, "Great, you're still alive." It's just wonderful. ”
Tears almost flowed from my eyes. The assistant clutched the binoculars tightly, unable to give vent to his heart's urge to see Christina.
The assistant likes Christina, and from the first time she saw this lively and generous girl in the professor's room, the assistant fell in love with Christina. After hearing that Christina seemed to be killed in the sea, the assistant even broke his favorite Chinese porcelain, only hated that he didn't express his heart to Christina in advance, and only hated that it was not Christina who went to sea but him.
"Professor, let me pick her up, okay, Professor?" Hearing his assistant's almost pleading request, the professor smiled slightly. "Okay."
"Hey, hey." Christina screamed with smoke in her throat and reluctantly lowered her arms that she was waving vigorously. Happiness came so suddenly, but it went so suddenly. Christina was sure that the people in the boat didn't hear her, otherwise they wouldn't have been motionless.
Christina smiled bitterly and walked down from the top in despair. Christina, who slowly paced back to her little shed, whispered, "Am I destined to stay on this uninhabited island for the rest of my life?" ”
"If you don't want to, then go home with me." A male voice exploded in Christina's ears. Christina looked up blankly and looked at the young man in front of her. "Orekhov."
The warm embrace made Christina feel real, it was not her own wishful thinking, it was real, someone really came to save her.
The assistant hugged the person in his arms tightly, unwilling to give up. When I saw the disappointment on the face of the girl I liked, my whole body was as tattered as if I had been abandoned, and even the most beautiful soft blonde hair was like a pile of withered grass.
The assistant couldn't help it anymore, no longer cared about the status gap between the two, no longer cared about the gender of the two, and directly hugged the haggard man.
"You won't suffer any more, the ship is coming, I'm coming." Listening to Orekhov whispering in her ear, Christina was happy and shed tears.
Listening to the crying of the person in his arms, Orekhov just hugged her and freed up one hand to comb her hair.
"Orekhov, why are you here?" Faced with Christina's question, Orekhov smiled mysteriously: "Because the gods are guiding me." Christina blushed and left Orekhov's embrace.
Orekhov was reluctant for a while, but he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and said to Christina: "Let's go back to the ship, the teacher is still waiting for us." ”
"What, you said the teacher is here too?" Christina was pleasantly surprised. Looking at the little girl who was smiling again in front of him, Orekhov nodded heavily, "The teacher cares about you more than I do." ”
Wang Qi hid in the water and looked at the couple hugging each other in front of him. I snorted coldly in my heart: "Dog men and women, show affection in front of me." Watching the two of them support and drive the small boat back to the big boat, Wang Qi dived into the bottom of the sea violently.
Can I see you again as the man saw the woman?
Wang Qi knew that he would never see his beloved again, so he could only see it, his heart was not upset, and he sank into the water alone.
"Teacher." Christina let out a cry and threw herself into the professor's arms. The professor hugged Christina and muttered, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." The professor couldn't say anything else but repeat it.
The professor treats Christina as his own granddaughter, and the cumin-covered professor cares most about Christina in his arms in addition to research. The feeling of seeing his granddaughter fall into the sea and not being able to do anything about it was especially strong when the professor came to the door of the Krendes family and when the professor met Christina's parents.
But now it was surprising that Christina was still alive, which relieved the professor's frowning brow. The professor patted Christina on the shoulder and said to his assistant, "Orekhov, you take Christina down to rest first, and then come to me when Christina is settled." ”
His eyes stayed on Christina for a long time, and after Christina completely disappeared around the corner, the professor's gaze fell on the sea beneath his feet. He said to the researchers behind him: "Follow me the 'unicorn' immediately." Don't let go of any clues. ”
The professor sneered, "Although I am grateful for you sending Christina back to human society, it still can't change your fate. Today is a good day, and since there is a good morning, there will be a good day. Are you right, my dear Mr. 'Unicorn'. ”
The inexplicable coldness made Wang Qi's body tremble in the deep waters.
What's the matter, Wang Qi Zou frowned, he felt a malice, but this malice came inexplicably, inexplicably made Wang Qi inexplicably glance at the black shadow above his head.

PS: Solemnly thank the book friend for the reward of "waiting for the flowers to bloom in one season", this is the first reward in the history of the book, and Jianhua is very happy. The "light as a feather" reward is what I ask for a "light as a feather" reward, which is used to satisfy myself, and it is not as authentic as the "wait for a season of flowers" to be rewarded. It's the first time someone has given a tip, and I'm quite excited to think about it.
