Chapter 51, hidden in the depths
I don't know how long I slept, I opened my eyes in a daze, it was still dark all around, Hai Lang's voice was very clear, there were still only stars in the sky, I sat up and stretched my body, a man was sitting opposite me, seeing me wake up, he seemed to smile and asked me, "Wake up?" How does it feel? "It's Mai Lao's voice, because I have just opened my eyes, and I have not yet adapted to my surroundings.
I rubbed my head and said, "Well, it's okay, but I'm still a little tired, where are we?" "I looked left and right casually, this is just a lifeboat, the previous memories are all in my mind, I haven't forgotten at all, there are two people on the boat, I can't see who they are.
"We are on the lifeboat, it was Mai Lao who saved us, Brother Yi, your life is really big, not to mention the ship, I can still live after wandering for so long, I almost thought I couldn't find you." It was Jiao Ba, he said as he rowed in front of me, and it took me a while to get used to it before I could see my surroundings clearly.
"Yes, Brother Yi, we can get out of danger this time, it's all up to Mai Lao." Junko's voice rang in my ears.
I turned my head to look at him, he was wrapped in gauze, although his face was still very pale, but it was much stronger than before, and he was also a lot more energetic, seeing that he was still alive, my heart suddenly felt a lot more steady, "Junko? Thank God, it's good to see you're okay. I took Junko's hand, and the big boy squeezed my hand tightly, conveying a sense of reassurance.
Then I asked, "Mai Lao, where are we now?" What about fishing boats? ”
Mai Lao shook his head and said, "I don't know, we have lost contact with the fishing boat for the time being, so we can only look for it slowly." ”
"What? Lost contact? How is this possible? I remember that the wreck was right next to our fishing boat, so how could I lose contact all of a sudden? "What's going on here? I knew when I was adrift at sea that I was far away from the fishing boats, but I couldn't understand why it had become like this.
Mai Lao looked at me and said very seriously, "In fact, since we boarded the wreck, the ship has been moving, as if it was pushed by some force, even the wire rope connecting the pontoon has been broken, but we haven't found it yet, and when I escaped from the wreck later, I knew that we had long been away from the fishing boat, this lifeboat was sent by a bearded man to tie to the side of the wreck, fortunately it was not 'left behind', if it didn't have it, I think it would be difficult to save you." ”
I looked at him with puzzled eyes and asked, "Mai Lao, I want to ask you, the scene was so chaotic at that time, and the gunshots rang out everywhere, how did you leave?" "I'd love to know this, this old guy has such a great ability.
Old man Mai said with a smile, "What's so strange about this, I left because of the chaos of the scene, when the gunshots rang out, I rushed to the hatch, I knew very well in my heart, they were busy dealing with the female corpse, then there was time to take care of us, I really didn't expect that I, who have always believed in science, would encounter this kind of bizarre thing, corpses can also kill, I am afraid that no one will believe it." ”
"Yes, if you hadn't experienced it yourself, you wouldn't have believed it, by the way, then you weren't afraid of being shot at that time?"
Although his words are very reasonable, it sounds like this, there are no loopholes on the surface, if it were someone else, it would definitely be true, but I know very well that in fact this is not the case at all, when normal people are in that chaotic environment, the first thing that comes to mind must be self-preservation, and it will definitely not be anything rushing out.
As a marine biologist, it is impossible for him to experience such a big scene, unless he has special training, and the gunfire was so dense at that time, even I would not dare to act rashly, but he can escape without knowing it in that dangerous situation, and this alone would never be possible for ordinary people.
Mai Lao seemed to see that I doubted him anymore, he still kept a smile and said, "I know what you are thinking, in fact, this is nothing special, although I am a professor of marine biology, but I also served as a soldier for a few years at the earliest, and I also received this kind of professional training, and at that time, I also had the idea of fighting hard, and I was not absolutely sure." ”
This old guy actually served as a soldier too? I couldn't have imagined this, and I casually asked, "You were a soldier?" In which troops? ”
"Forget it, I won't mention any troops, if you are a soldier, you should know that there are some things that you can't say casually." Mai Lao made a sloppy eye, and covered up the past perfectly.
I carefully analyzed it in my mind, if he is really a man in black, then it is impossible for him to reveal such important information, he can find other reasons to prevaricate in the past, there is no need to say that he has been a soldier, doesn't this obviously make me doubt him, so if Mai Lao is not the man in black, then will the man in black be Li Xin? Or is it someone else?
Although there is a little clue about the matter, it is still very vague, and I still can't find a clear clue, but now I know very well, this old guy is definitely not simple, his skills should not be below me, or even higher than me, so will there be any purpose behind him? I suddenly found that everyone who went to sea this time seemed to have their own goals.
At this time, I gave a thumbs up and said, "Old Mai, you are really amazing, if it weren't for you this time, we would all have to be with that female corpse." ”
"I also got away with it, but don't think so badly, or you'll be disappointed." He waved his hand and said with a smile.
I stopped asking him about it, "What do we do now?" Is there any hope of finding a fishing boat? "This is what I'm most concerned about, just rely on this little broken ship, sooner or later I will die, a big Lang will sink down, there is no food here, I can starve to death.
"It's hard to say, I can only do my best, now we are going in the right direction, but the fishing boat has not left, I don't know." Mai Lao said very seriously, judging from his expression, he didn't want to be a joke.
"What will happen to us if we can't find a fishing boat?" Junko asked in a whisper next to him.
"We're going to die." Jiao Ba said casually while rowing.
"Going to die again? I can't take it anymore. As soon as Junko heard the word death, her face changed instantly, this big boy, after going through so much, it is normal to be afraid.
Mai Lao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we'll be fine, everyone is rowing in turns, Jiao Ba, you can rest for a while, let me come." As he spoke, he walked to the stern of the boat and took the oars from Jiao Ba's hand.
