Chapter 163: The Female Shura in the Storm
Naoto Yoshiwara immediately got up and looked, hoping to see a boat, but in the ups and downs of the raft, he could only see a bright blue light in the distance, and there seemed to be a band of light, and the band of light was getting brighter and brighter, and it seemed to move quickly towards him.
Nishikujo Ruri said strangely: "It's not quite like a ship...... "It's not so much a ship, she believes in alien flying saucers...... It's very sci-fi.
Nana Hoshino tiptoed to see better, but her height was limited, so she climbed on Naoto Yoshihara's arm and climbed onto his shoulder, riding him into the distance.
Nana Hoshino observed from afar for a moment and said in frustration: "It should be the plankton in the sea, Bai is happy!" Alas...... "She really wants to return to civilized society, and she feels like she is going to die without a book."
Naoto Yoshiwara pulled her off and threw her back on the raft, watching as a faint bright blue light began to appear on the surrounding sea - it was an illusion that the light band was moving towards them, but in fact, the sea around here was slowly brightening.
Soon after, as night fell completely, the entire raft was filled with a bright blue glow, as if in a magical scene.
This is a rare and bizarre scene, and even Ruri Nishikujo, who lacks a girl's heart, was moved, and rarely praised: "It's so beautiful!"
She had heard of a similar scene in Toyama Bay, where a large number of firefly squid would gather in large numbers from March to June every year, and the light would make the bay shine like the Milky Way, but she had never had a chance to see it, and she really didn't expect to encounter a similar situation in the Pacific Ocean, and it was much more spectacular than in the bay.
Nana Hoshino took a handful of seawater and looked at it carefully, and said flatly: "It's just some small shrimp, there are a lot of these things in the sea, nothing unusual." โ
There are a lot of plankton in the ocean, such as noctilucent algae, sea plume, krill, etc., which can cause marine luminescence. These plankton carry a large number of luminescent bacteria, which are in a symbiotic relationship with these luminescent bacteria - fluorescein and oxygen combine to produce oxidized fluorescein, and the energy generated by its chemical reaction is released in the form of light.
Plankton provide nutrients to luminescent bacteria, and luminescent bacteria provide a light source for plankton to help their symbiotic companions forage for food or to repel enemies.
There is no shortage of plankton in the oceans, which feed the largest mammal on the planet, baleen whales.
Nana Hoshino quickly understood that this might be some kind of krill or cherry shrimp in the breeding season, and ran to the sea to engage in a group blind date, she quickly lost interest, and shook her little hand back to the bamboo shed, leaving only Naoto Yoshiwara and Ruri Nishikujo on the side of the raft, and Ruri Nishikujo was pondering in her stomach to find a topic, but Naoto Yoshiwara had already smiled and said "pay attention to safety", and turned around to the tail of the raft.
Nishikujo Ruri pursed her lips and watched him disappear behind the bamboo shed, reaching out to gently caress the bright blue fantasy sea. Her beautiful face was reflected in a sparkling pale cyan, which made her already cold and hard temperament even more frosty.
These ultra-small shrimp with a cold glow have no warmth, just like her perennial image, and it is not possible to change overnight.
The glow lasted for nearly an hour before fading, and darkness shrouded the raft again. Naoto Yoshiwara sat next to the navigator and looked at the sky to tell the direction - in the middle of the sky dome was the constellation Ursa Major, and they should probably arrive when they couldn't see this constellation.
What should I do when I arrive?
Renegotiate with Uesugi or take Hoshino Nana incognito? That quantum worker intelligent Sebent can't work under the threat of Uesugi at most, and it is impossible to find Hoshino Nana for her, so if Uesugi Xiang only relies on her own strength, as long as she often wanders, she should not be able to catch herself......
It's just a pity that she spent more than ten years planning all this, and now it's all in the mirror.
Naoto Yoshihara thought of the inevitable reaction of this old friend, and only felt a headache - snatching Nana Hoshino made him feel a little betrayal, he just didn't want Nana Hoshino to die and acted immediately, but he didn't have any plans for the aftermath, and it was hard to think of a way to get the best of both worlds that would make his friends happy Nana Hoshino would not die.
If you don't lose this side, you have to lose to that side, this dilemma makes him can't help but complain about Uesugi Xiang - at the age of almost forty, she still insists on doing what she thinks is right, which is really impossible to say about her! What is right and wrong for adults, and what should be the pros and cons?
Occupy an alien prehistoric site, how good it is to make a fortune after repairing it! Sitting on a huge amount of money, enjoying life, and slowly watching her daughter grow up to be more leisurely, and nosy. After a few decades, if you close your eyes and kick your legs, what does it matter if the world is going to die, let the next generation take care of it, what an idiot!
Whenever he thinks about his troubles, Naoto Yoshiwara wants to smoke a cigarette or drink a glass or two, but there is nothing on the raft, which makes him very troubled.
He sat there and looked around, his mouth was very itchy, and when he saw a big fish that was still bouncing not far away, he leaned over and dragged it over, picked a few picks on it at will, and pulled out a hole the size of a fingernail and began to squeeze it, and when he squeezed out a hole of lymphatic fluid, he looked up and drank it, self-hypnosis This is good wine, but unfortunately it is useless, and it can only quench thirst.
He tossed the fish there in boredom, and after two or three sips, he sighed and threw the unlucky fish back into the sea, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, felt a slight tightness in his chest, and felt hot from the constant washing of the sea, stood up and felt it for a while, and found that the wind had stopped, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heartโdidn't it mean that this trade wind would blow for two or three months?
But in a blink of an eye, he was relieved, and he couldn't blow all day long, so he should let the trade winds take a break.
In the dark, Nishikujo Ruri touched it, and Naoto Yoshihara smiled and said politely, "Do you want to use the bathroom?" The raft went all the way, and the toilet was dug to the tail of the raft, so as not to get "sewage" on the raft. As he spoke, he was about to get up and avoid it, but he only heard Ruri Nishikujo in the dark say lightly: "It's not ......"
She hesitated in the darkness for a moment, then handed Naoto Yoshiwara a kettle and said softly, "I'll send you some water, put a little salt in it." โ
Naoto Yoshihara was a little flattered, and his heart was even more strange - this initiative to care about people is not quite like the Nishikujo he knows!
He held the kettle in his hand and didn't dare to drink it for a while, saying that it was salted, but what if it was arsenic?
He smiled dryly, "I'm not too thirsty now, let's save it for a while." โ
Nishikujo Ruri couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark, and frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, and said softly: "I'll come and see the oar!"
The raft has three important components โ the base, the sail and the oar. At present, it is carried forward by the ocean current, and this oar does not play a role, but it is the only part of the raft that can provide power, and it must be supervised as much as possible, and by the way, the vigil is not expected.
For a long time, Naoto Yoshiwara has been in charge of this work, and at this time, Nishikujo Ruri wanted to intervene, and he couldn't help but wonder: "It takes a lot of strength to push this thing, and your injuries are ......."
Nishikujo Ruri rubbed his shoulders lightly and said lightly: "It doesn't matter anymore, you haven't had a good rest for a few days, go get a good night's sleep!"
This suddenly enjoyed the care, Yoshiwara Naoto felt a little uncomfortable, and saw that there was no wind now, and there was no need to move the oars around, so he accepted the favor and said with a smile: "Then I'll lie down for a while, you pay attention to some don't fall into the sea." โ
He went back to the bamboo hut and listened to Nana Hoshino sleeping soundly, muttering a few words from time to time, probably complaining about the splashing seawater.
He smiled and lay down in the dark. In fact, the difference between sleeping in a bamboo shed and outside is not too big, it is still wet, and the waves will still come in from time to time, the only benefit is to get used to it!
People will always feel safe and mentally relaxed when they stay in the house. Naoto Yoshihara closed his eyes, intending to get some sleep.
But he didn't sleep long before the sound of "crackling" sounded, and the raft jolted even harder. Naoto Yoshiwara rolled over and sat up, and at the same time Nana Hoshino also woke up, muttering and asking, "What's wrong, it's so noisy!"
Naoto Yoshihara walked out of the shed quickly, and the raindrops with the size of beans immediately hit his head and face, hitting his body not only painful but also cold. He wiped the rain from his face, and heard the spinnaker making a "Peng Peng" sound, as if it had been subjected to a lot of force, and some could not support it.
The rain was strong and windy, and the sound of raindrops hitting wood, bamboo, and leaves was so noisy that he wouldn't have heard it if he hadn't been so good at ears!
Fortunately, if this sail had gone away in the wind, they would have to take off their pants collectively and sew a beggar sail again.
He hurried to the sails, but the raft tilted so violently that it almost felt like it was about to flip on its side!
Naoto Yoshihara almost rolled out, barely stopped his body from falling, and threw himself at the mast, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and directly ripped the sail down. The speed of the raft immediately slowed down, but the jolting became more intense, and it felt like it was bouncing in place.
Affected by the weather, the originally stable ocean current was also unstable, and from time to time large waves rushed up from both sides of the raft, creating patches of foam, and the cry of Nishikujo Ruri was also heard at the end of the raft. Naoto Yoshiwara immediately ran towards the end of the raft and knocked Nana Hoshino, who had just come out of the bamboo shed, back. There was no light in the darkness, and there were countless inconveniences for human beings, and even Naoto Yoshiwara couldn't be sure what was going on with the sea around him.
The uncertainty of the situation worries him, and he is confident that he can handle most of the things on earth, but it definitely does not include drifting in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and fighting the sea, which is almost powerless.
He loudly ordered Nana Hoshino to go back to the bamboo shed and stay, which should be the safest place on the entire raft at the moment, Nana Hoshino hesitated for a moment and obeyed the order, rolled over and got up and began to tie up the daily necessities in the dark.
It's dark, unless she is accompanied by Naoto Yoshiwara, she is not allowed to leave the bamboo house, it is extremely dangerous to fall into the sea in the dark, she doesn't want to cause trouble, although she is very worried at this time, but she can only rely on Naoto Yoshiwara.
Naoto Yoshihara stumbled to the end of the raft, and a flash of lightning suddenly crossed the sky, and the embarrassed appearance of Nishikujo Ruri suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
The water at the end of the raft had lost its suppleness, as if in just a few hours it had gone from helping their friend to their enemy, revealing its vicious side.
The water is raging, the waves are colliding with each other, and there are small whirlpools in the background. The wooden navigation oars swayed desperately against the impact of the current, and its wide, oar-like underwater part was subjected to irregular forces, and Nishikujo Ruri was being tossed around by the force of nature.
The lightning flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it was pitch black again, and Yoshihara Nao's heart sank suddenly-Nishikujo Ruri was not a weak woman without strength, she had already used the strength of her whole body, and the slender and streamlined muscles on her beautiful body all collapsed, and she could only barely control the oars when she was full of power.
Naoto Yoshiwara pounced, feeling the sudden evil wind on one side, grasped the handle of the oar, and at the same time held the warm hand of Nishikujo Ruri.
Nishikujo Ruri's hand was held by Naoto Yoshihara, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and a strong sense of security quickly rose from his heart, and he shouted, "Suddenly the wind rose!"
She was also caught off guard, just now everything was relatively calm, and even the surge felt smaller than usual, except for the extreme heat, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, but almost instantly, a strong wind swept in, and the heavy rain followed, and the surge immediately increased by several levels, and even the rope that fixed the long oar was broken.
The loss of control of the raft forced the raft to change, and the conflict with the current almost caused the raft to be reversed, and she had to fight with the raft with all her strength in order to stabilize the raft, and was almost thrown out of the raft several times - falling into the sea in this dark environment is almost a dead end.
The two of them worked together to stabilize the oar, and the bouncing sensation of the raft was significantly reduced, and the bumps were no longer violent, and they were still within a tolerable range.
Naoto Yoshihara reached out and touched the handle of the long oar, and found the broken rope, but it was still dark and rainy, and it was obviously not the time to re-tie it, so he yelled at Nishikujo Ruri: "You go back to the house, leave it to me here!"
Nishikujo Ruri felt the tremendous power coming from the raft, and couldn't imagine how Naoto Yoshihara would fight this "monster" after he left, and replied with a shout, "No!"
"Trust me, I won't let anything happen to you!" Naoto Yoshihara shouted louder, not for momentum, but not desperately calling the two of them, even if they were face to face, the other party might not be able to hear.
Changed to Momonomiya Miki, when he got such a sentence at the critical moment, his heart was about to melt, and he must have obediently returned to the bamboo shed to help Yoshiwara Naoto pray, but Nishikujo Ruri didn't eat this set, a pair of sword eyebrows raised, feeling greatly despised and shouted angrily: "I never need someone else's protection!"
It's not that she just wants to help Naoto Yoshiwara share the pressure, but she naturally doesn't choose to leave her fate in the hands of others, even if she believes that Naoto Yoshiwara will do his best to keep the raft balanced!
Naoto Yoshihara couldn't do anything about her for a while, and her strength was not small, and she could indeed play a big role, so she could only acquiesce to her staying here.
The higher and higher waves caught up with the raft from the tail, usually standing holding the oar, the waves were bigger and hit the waist, and the waves were smaller to wash the feet, but this time it was different, the waves were shot down from the head, even if Yoshihara Naoto was a little dizzy and swollen after dozens of times, but Nishikujo Ruri was silent, through the lightning that occasionally pierced the night, it could be seen that the flesh on her cheeks was tight, a pair of sword eyebrows were almost vertical, and her face was blue and white, like a female rakshasa - just a ghost head knife.
But the two of them cooperate tacitly, as if they have done countless things in their previous lives, and they don't even need to communicate through words between pushing and pulling the long oar. When one side of the raft is high and the other side is low, they will instinctively push and pull one by one, and re-align the raft by adjusting the position of the long oar relative to the raft, and the tragedy of the large cork stopper turning over.
From time to time, their hands would touch together, feeling the warmth of each other's bodies in the cold and rainy night, and at the same time panting, and gradually they even began to breathe together.
Yoshiwara Naoto likes this feeling very much, if he hadn't been "beaten" by the sea, he might have been able to smile at the corner of his mouth, but the situation was getting worse and worse, through a bolt of lightning, Yoshiwara Naoto suddenly found that a "city wall" appeared on the sea - like a big wave like a city wall was rapidly chasing towards the raft, revealing an eerie killing intent at the moment when the sky and earth were white!
Naoto Yoshihara almost blurted out a curse, and loudly reminded Nishikujo Ruri: "Attention, there are big waves!"
