Chapter 54: A Visitor from Heaven
We looked at Dickens's extremely sad expression, and we didn't know what to say for a while, so we could only accompany him silently. This is really inevitable, and in less than a month, he lost two people who have always been by his side. No one can accept this.
After a long time, Duoduo and Lisa went over to comfort Dickens and said, "Uncle, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn and change!" ”
At first, Dickens did not react, only nodded silently. Duoduo and Lisa didn't want to say anything more, so they stepped aside and looked at the water. The old ghost and I didn't comfort him much for a while, so we didn't say anything.
There was silence for about twenty minutes before Dickens moved. To all of us, Dickens slowly picked Tom up and lowered him down the side of the boat into the water. Immediately Tom sank down, drifting away from us. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the dark water.
"Uncle...... "Duoduo wanted to go over to stop Dickens, and I hurriedly pulled Duoduo back. Dickens certainly had a reason for doing this.
As I expected, Dickens said with great sorrow, "Let him go!" Keep him with Jerry and let them be brothers forever. Almighty God, let these two wonderful lads be my own sons in the next life. I will love them with all my might! Amen. ”
After Dickens finished speaking, he drew a cross on his chest and bowed his head in prayer. That focused look, incomparably reverent. I thought to myself: I believe in God Almighty, and I will be able to hear his prayers with great sincerity.
Immediately after Dickens had prayed, he asked everyone to continue rowing. That indifferent expression, as if it had just happened, had never happened at all. This also makes us admire his emotional intelligence that is beyond ordinary people's reason and control.
When we saw that Dickens was out of grief, we quickly started to row together.
Although, this little lifeboat is slow. However, as long as you keep rowing, there will always be a time to land. Just a few people bring food, which may be slightly scarce.
But think about the good thing: there are always two sides to the story, and if you are lucky, you may be able to meet a passing passenger ship or a merchant freighter or something out of the high seas. In that case, we can take a "tailwind". Dickens said that the possibility is extremely large, because there are still many ships passing nearby.
Hearing Dickens say this, several of us suddenly ignited the flame of hope again. I couldn't help but speed up the frequency of rowing, hoping to reach the open sea early. I even hope that I will be really lucky, and when I get to the high sea, I will immediately meet the passing ships.
Often, however, things don't go as hoped, or as planned. We paddled back and forth, as if we were back to where we started. That is, it took a big turn and went around again. Or maybe we're just spinning in circles......
That's weird!
This ghost island seems to be really ghostly!
In this case, even Dickens, an old sailor, was a little confused. He hurriedly took out his nautical compass and wanted to use it to discern the direction. However, as soon as he took out his compass, he found that the hands on it were constantly spinning, and he could not stop at all.
From this, we can conclude that there is some kind of inexplicable magnetic field interference around or under the surface of the sea. It can interfere not only with magnetic field radio waves, but also with human brain waves.
Thinking of this, a few of us took out all the electronic devices that we had with us. Except for my electronic watch, all other analog watches, compasses, radios, and everything related to magnetic fields have failed.
Suddenly, several of us were surprised. After taking a closer look at the surroundings, we were sure that it was the place we had just left. Because from the surrounding mountains and stars, the distance has not changed at all.
Just when we were all at a loss, a light came from the place where the ship had just exploded and sunk.
The five of us suddenly felt a nervous heart, which definitely meant that it was not a good thing. There can be no passenger ships or merchant ships passing by here. There is only one result, that is, Chen Haotian's people chased after him.
Sure enough, I heard the familiar sound of the speedboat engine again. Judging by the dim moonlight, there seemed to be several speedboats behind the speedboat. Suddenly, pillars of snow-white and bright light shone on the passenger ship that had been blown beyond recognition and had sunk only a corner left.
As soon as those few lights saw this scene, it is estimated that most of us escaped. Immediately, the snow-white and bright light swept around, as if looking for our traces.
Our hearts suddenly cooled, because we couldn't avoid it. Even if you jump into the water now, these two lifeboats will be found. So, we just don't dodge. Fuck whomever you love. Finally, our two lifeboats were quickly locked.
Chen Haotian's speedboat immediately approached us.
"Not good! They're coming, everyone get ready! Dickens shouted, and immediately picked up his gun.
Several of us were also immediately bloody, pulled our guns and loaded, ready to fight at any time.
Dickens said loudly: "Comrades, this time you are desperate for your life, don't let them catch them alive!" Take all your energy and resist desperately. To avenge the death of our compatriots, okay? ”
"Good!" We replied in unison, and we were all ready to meet the enemy in high spirits.
At this moment, with a sound of "Slip~", a firelight pierced the night sky and shot directly towards us. We are all too familiar with the sound and the fire. Chen Haotian is ruthless enough! Before the fight began, a howitzer came directly.
We hurriedly bowed our heads and dodged the howitzer's attack. I saw the howitzer fly over our heads and plant in the water not far from the boat. "Boom", a huge explosion sound, shook our eardrums. Suddenly, a tall column of water splashed. The sea splashed all over us, and all of a sudden, our whole body was covered with water.
"呲slip~呲slip~呲slip!" Three more sounds, this time as if three shells were coming towards us again. Chen Haotian was so vicious that he didn't give us any respite at all. Directly at us, three more shells beckoned.
Several of us are desperate, this situation, only to wait for death! Even if you jump into the sea, it's too late. Several people were nervously staring at the flying shells......
At the last moment, I saw three black shadows flash rapidly, and the cannonballs stopped in the air. As soon as the direction turned, it actually flew back in the opposite direction!
"Boom, boom, boom!" Three explosions.
Many people under Chen Haotian were blown up by this sudden change. Then there was a cry.
Let's take a closer look at the three black shadows, swan-man!
At this moment, a strong light came from the side and front, and a huge ship appeared diagonally opposite us. On the bow deck, two pretty figures appeared. These two figures are extremely familiar! One of them is the dark shadow that appeared in Savannah and commanded the swanmen to save our lives.
A large group of swan people are fighting Chen Haotian's people in their own hands, so we no longer have to worry about the future.
When the two graceful figures approached us, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Auntie? Pamela? ”
At this time, Adams came out of the boat and shouted, "Uncle...... And a couple of you bastards, long time no see! We're coming......"
At this point, we couldn't help but cheer, and finally came to the rescue.
