Chapter 1538: Explorer
In the Pacific Ocean, a research ship is moving in tatters.
However, there were only two people on this research ship, and the huge wind and waves shook the hull up and down.
Morgan tried his best to control the rudder and shouted at the ship's walkie-talkie, "Mina, can you get the signal?"
Under such strong wind and waves, a woman was climbing on the top of the pole, constantly fiddling with an instrument in her hand, which was installed at the top, and the bumpy boat also made her constantly sway.
"There is no signal yet. The woman, Mina, was not at all as delicate as ordinary women, and she climbed off the pole with her hands and feet, ran into the cockpit, and shook off the water soaked in her body.
"Morgan, where are we now?"
"I don't know, there is no way to locate this area with satellites, and the mobile phone signal has completely disappeared. Morgan said helplessly.
"Damn, what the hell is going on in this place, even if we're in Antarctica, we haven't encountered anything like this. ”
"It should be caused by the interference of a strong magnetic field in this area. Morgan speculated.
"But this sea area should be a very busy route, whether it is an airplane or a cargo ship, often operating in this sea area, how can there be such a strong interference suddenly. ”
"That's what we're here for, to uncover the secrets of this world, since the last hijacking, the island where the terrorists were located has disappeared from the map, and even satellite images can't find it, and we're just blind now. ”
"It doesn't matter, when it's night, we'll base ourselves on the stars. ”
As the most famous explorer couple in the world, the two of them are well-known both at home and abroad. At the same time, it also has the nickname of a madman couple.
They crossed Bermuda. Traveled to the North and South Poles. I have climbed the highest and most precipitous peaks, and I have also penetrated into the deepest seas.
The two of them have devoted almost their lives to adventure, and of course, in the course of this adventure, they have also learned many useful skills, such as Indian astrology.
This astrological positioning is an ancient Indian heritage, which is said to have been used by the Indians when they set foot on the American continent and has been passed down to the present day. There are very few people who understand.
The experience of the madman couple could almost be written as a biography, they fought against death every day, and they fought against nature every day.
In recent years, there have been frequent failures of ships and planes, and many expedition ships have entered and exited the area, but all of them have been reduced to the status of rescuers.
This strange phenomenon naturally caught the attention of the madman couple, who, having made sufficient preparations, set sail to find the vanished island.
In this part of the sea, the climate becomes unusually irritable. They'd been through the sea before, and they remembered. The sea has always been very peaceful, and the weather has never been so unusual.
And when they were on the periphery, they found that all kinds of instruments began to fail, and at first it was only the signal interference, which was also within their expectations, after all, these interferences were known in advance.
However, as they continued to go deeper, this interference continued to intensify, and various electronic devices on the ship began to malfunction.
Today's ocean-going vessels are generally computer-controlled, or semi-intelligently controlled, and if the electronic equipment fails, it is equivalent to losing both legs.
However, as a modified expedition ship, Mina and Morgan's boat not only has electronic control, but also a relatively primitive mechanical engine, and the ship was originally made through the Bermuda Triangle.
And this sea area is very similar to the Bermuda Triangle, and it is also accompanied by a strong magnetic field.
The naval fleet of the American ZF has also explored this area before, and the strangest thing happened, that fleet actually disappeared for three days and then appeared in the Indian Ocean.
According to the statements of the navy in the fleet, when they entered the sea, they seemed to encounter a thick fog, and then all the instruments failed, and they were adrift at sea for three days in isolation, and then they drifted to the Indian Ocean without knowing how to do so.
Just then, one of the instruments on the bridge sounded an alarm and flashed red at the same time.
"Mina, we're running out of fuel, damn it, damn it. ”
"Look, there's fog up ahead. Mina suddenly shouted.
"What's going on? How could such a big storm fog up?"
Sea fog can only be formed in a relatively calm environment, and with such strong winds, sea fog is usually blown away before it has formed a scale.
Morgan and Mina were both very seasoned explorers, having spent half of their careers at sea.
But they had never seen such a strange phenomenon, and soon the sea fog began to spread.
And the moment the sea fog came, the surrounding wind and waves actually subsided.
"Put on your gas mask. Morgan said cautiously.
Don't think that sea fog is safe, there are many reasons for the formation of sea fog, and it can also be the eruption of submarine volcanoes, and the steam produced by the interaction with seawater, which has a high content of toxic gases.
"Strange ......," Morgan suddenly let out a puzzled sigh.
"What's wrong?"
"We seem to be drifting out, as if the sea is sending us out. ”
Morgan glanced at the oil gauge and started the engine again, trying to get rid of the push.
"There's definitely something weird here to get rid of the thrust of this tide, and we can't just leave like that...... You go away, I'll drive. ”
Morgan gave way to the driver's seat, and had to admit that Mina's driving skills were indeed much better than his.
Mina skillfully steered the rudder, and with three or two strokes, Mina steered the expedition ship back on track.
"Mina, do you have any feelings?" Morgan said suspiciously.
"Feelings, do you mean that there's a consciousness that wants to get us out of here?"
"Do you feel that way?"
"Obviously, but it's not certain that it's natural. ”
"If this tide tries to get us out of here, then we'll go backwards, so we might be able to find out what is missing. ”
Driving against the tide is very fuel-intensive. Not to mention that they don't have enough fuel right now.
But nothing could stop them. They are born with this risk-taking gene in their bones.
"Our fuel is being consumed at an incredible rate. How is this absolutely possible, it's like the speed of direct burning. ”
It didn't take long for their fuel to bottom out completely, and the ships lost power and began to be dominated by the waves.
"Look, there's a shadow up ahead. Morgan pointed to the depths of the mist, where there seemed to be a large black shadow.
"Island! it's an island, that terrifying island that has disappeared!" Mina exclaimed excitedly.
"That's not right...... It can't be that simple...... Morgan said solemnly, "It's a mirage created by sea fog." That's fake, the real island is in the other direction and it's close to us. ”
Morgan, who has a Ph.D. in meteorology, oceanography, and air, immediately judged the authenticity of the shadow.
"But what's the use of getting closer, we're running out of fuel now. ”
"Go on a raft!" Morgan said decisively, "The sea level is very stable now, and the waves are no more than two levels, which means that there are medium and large landmasses nearby. ”
This is also a little common sense in the ocean, and under normal circumstances, the closer you are to land, the smaller the waves. Because the sea is obstructed by land, there are few big waves.
The two of them immediately brought a small amount of food. There were also some tools that boarded the kayaks.
This kind of behavior is actually very risky, and if they make a mistake in judgment and do not find the island, they will lose the support of the big ship, and they will be very dangerous.
However, they are very confident in their professional judgment, and at the same time, they are full of yearning for the unknown and mystery, so the greater the obstacle, the more tempting it is for them.
The two of them paddled on the kayak for a while, and suddenly stopped rowing their oars at the same time.
"Huh...... Did you find it?"
Morgan looked in amazement at the water next to the kayak, which was moving at a gentle pace.
"That force seems to be taking us somewhere. ”
"It's not going to be trying to send us out, is it? ”
As soon as they get out of this still sea and enter the more irritable sea, their little kayak will be immediately overturned by the waves, and at that time, even if they have the ability, they will inevitably feed the fish.
"No, this time we're going in a different direction than we are on the big ship. ”
Suddenly, Mina shouted, "See? Do you see? Something seems to be sticking out of the sea in that direction. ”
"Mina, did you see a whale?"
"It's not a whale, it's definitely not a whale, do you think I'll not recognize a whale? That thing isn't as big as a blue whale, but it's bigger than a killer whale, and judging by the size of its outcropping, it's about ten to twelve meters above the water. ”
"You're wearing a gas mask now, are you sure you're right?"
"I believe in my eyes. Mina replied very simply.
"What do you think that's it?"
"Not sure. ”
After about three or four hours of drifting on the sea, they finally saw land, which made them ecstatic.
This island is undoubtedly the Island of Terror, the island that has become very famous lately, and they will be the first visitors to the Island of Terror.
And as long as they land, they don't need to worry about survival, they have a lot of experience in the wild.
They also brought a lot of tools for survival in the wild, so survival in the wild was no challenge for them.
After some hard work, the two successfully landed on the island from a beach.
At the same time, he dragged the kayak onto the beach, but in the process, Morgan also let out an exclamation.
"Mina, did you see it? Something in the water seems to have slapped down on the surface of the water. ”
"What's that?"
"I don't know, I suspect the thing kept coming down from our kayak until we got to the shallow water and it didn't leave. (To be continued......)
