The whistle sounded three long times.

Standing on the side of the boat, the five of them lined up in two rows, with solemn faces, threw the bag containing the body of old Isaiah into the sea.

Then, everyone bowed deeply to the sea in front of them.

The bodies had drifted away, but everyone was still standing in their same position, no one turned around, and no one spoke.

It wasn't until old Isaiah had disappeared from the sea and sky line that Jiang Xiao sighed softly and patted Xinyun's head beside him: "Okay, wipe your tears." ”

"Hmm......" Xinyun nodded, stretched out the back of her hand, wiped her tears, turned around and hugged Jiang Xiao hard.

"Jiang Xiao, promise me, next, don't let anyone die. ”

"Good. I promise you. Jiang Xiao stroked Xinyun's head and replied seriously.

After bidding farewell to old Isaiah, the next two days of sailing did not encounter any twists and turns. The Poseidon sailed to the sea twenty nautical miles from Vladivostok, and when there were no ships around in the middle of the night, she lowered her lifeboat.

Once everyone had moved to the lifeboat, Deshui activated its ability to shrink the Poseidon to a model-size size that was less than half a meter long.

With the shrunken Poseidon, the five people finally landed in Vladivostok in a lifeboat.

Vladivostok is still more than 2,000 kilometers away from their destination Lake Baikal in a straight line, and considering that there is still a territorial barrier between China and Mongolia, if the whole city is kept in Russia, it will have to make a big detour, and the actual distance will be even greater.

But Jiang Xiao and his party had no way to take a plane. They sailed all the way from the west coast of North America on the Poseidon without any entry formalities.

To put it another way – they are actually a bunch of stowaways.

Although it is not very difficult for Xinyun to get a false testimony for help, in the current situation, it is really not a good idea.

After all, there has been a precedent before, and when a fake identity has been used in China to obtain passports and visas to the United States, it has been detected by the college's huge intelligence network. Now that we are getting closer to our destination, we naturally need to be more cautious.

In the end, Jiang Xiao and Xinyun decided to buy a car directly in the local area and drive all the way to Irkutsk.

Although the distance is more than 3,000 kilometers long, and the roads in Russia's Far East Siberia are notoriously muddy and dilapidated, there are five people who take turns driving here, and it takes up to five days to get there.

After making a decision, the five of them immediately went into action. Although Vladivostok is the largest and most prosperous city in Russia in the Far East, it is still not much worse than in the country. Not to mention international metropolises of the level of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and even some third-tier cities are far stronger than it. The five of them ran around the city for a long time, searching almost all the car dealerships, and finally found a suitable car.

GMC Agent No. 1, 5.98 meters long, V8/5.3 engine, the original owner in order to deal with the muddy roads in the Far East, also made special modifications, replaced with 19-inch oversized off-road wheels.

The car has a total of 9 seats, in addition to the driver and co-pilot who are separated, there are also a total of 7 seats in the rear compartment, four of which are opposite each other, as spacious as a sofa, and the last row of triple seats.

Jiang Xiao and his entourage are only five people, which can be said to be more than enough under such a configuration. And the last row of seats can also easily make people lie down and rest.

Originally, Xinyun had proposed to simply buy an RV with a full set of living facilities and even full-size beds, or buy two ordinary off-road vehicles, but Jiang Xiao vetoed. The former is too bulky and bulky to be unfavorable for the situation on muddy Siberian roads. The problem with the latter is that the addition of a driver greatly increases the fatigue level of the entire team.

And more importantly, Jiang Xiao was very worried that if there was another attack by the Academy's assassins, it would be easy to give the enemy a chance to break through.

On the Poseidon before, if it hadn't been broken by the whirlpool, old Isaiah might not have died.

But fortunately, in the next trip, there was no more of what Jiang Xiao was worried about. Along the way, the five people took turns driving, and the rest rested in the back compartment, and finally arrived in Irkutsk without any danger without any danger.

"Finally...... It's here......" Looking at the city lights appearing on the horizon in front of her, Xinyun let out a long breath: "You can sleep well!"

For five days, the car has been driving around the clock. Although the interior of the carriage is spacious enough, the road is too bumpy. Fortunately, it was not early spring, so the bad roads in Siberia were not full of mud. Rao is so, and it is still a luxury to want to sleep well in the car.

It was already night, and it was impossible to rush to the shore of Lake Baikal at once. Naturally, I had a good rest, and then the next day I went to Lake Baikal in search of seeds.

Irkutsk is the capital of the Irkutsk region of Russia, and relying on Lake Baikal, a famous world tourism resource, it has developed well. When the five arrived in the city, although it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, they still easily found a hotel.

Only this time, instead of staying in the largest and most luxurious hotel in the area, as they did in Pasadena, they just found a small hotel and opened three ordinary rooms next to each other.

Because the closer you get to your destination, the more cautious you have to be. The luxury hotel is too ostentatious, and it is easy to be found by the academy's intelligence network. And the enjoyment of the moment is far less important in comparison. Moreover, only this kind of ordinary inn will not be so strict in checking the identity of the occupants.

After checking in, the five of them gathered in Jiang Xiao and Deshui's rooms and had a simple meeting.

"Finally...... There is only one last step left, and tomorrow early tomorrow morning we will leave for Lake Baikal. Now, everyone to confirm again, are there any problems?" Jiang Xiao went straight to the point.

"I have!" Deshui raised his hand: "That kind of thing...... Where exactly is it on Lake Baikal?"

"I don't know. Jiang Xiao shook his head: "In the recording left by Ziyan, it is not clearly stated. ”

"I don't know, how do you find it?!" Deshui exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Do you know how big Lake Baikal is?"

"Of course I do. Xinyun glared at Deshui angrily: "More than 30,000 square kilometers, about the size of two BJs." ”

"Yes, and it's the jurisdiction of BJ City, not the urban area of BJ City!" Deshui was not frightened by Xinyun in the slightest: "You guys...... You don't even know where exactly it is on Lake Baikal? Isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

"Nope. Jiang Xiao waved his hand and stopped shouting: "This is not as difficult as you think." At least from the recordings, we can be sure that the depth at which the seeds are located is the deepest part of Lake Baikal. On the way here, I checked the information, and the average depth of Lake Baikal is not very deep, most of the bottom of the lake is about 50-200 meters deep, and only in the north-east part of the center of the lake does the lake bed have a huge abrupt depression. Therefore, since the purple smoke had almost dived to a depth of more than 1,600 meters at that time, it could only be in that area. ”

"Hmm...... In this way, the scope has been greatly narrowed. Deshui nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I don't have any other problems." ”

"Hmm...... Isaiah Sr. said before that there was only room for three people on that deep-sea submersible. So...... Which three people will go in then?" asked Xinyun.

"Why do you have to only go in for three people?" Zhao Tianyu wondered: "Get water...... Wouldn't it be possible to change the size of the object? Let him enlarge the submersible a little more, and the five of us would be able to sit down?"

"Huh!" Xinyun's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!

Deshui shook his head and said with a wry smile: "In terms of ability alone, it is possible, but this method is not good." After all, it is a deep-sea submersible, which has to resist a water pressure of more than a thousand meters. I can change the size of an object, but I can't make it stronger. As it grows larger, the water pressure increases accordingly, and if the strength of the shell remains the same, I doubt that it will be safe. ”

"That's it......" Xinyun and Zhao Tianyu lowered their heads together.

"Xinyun and I must enter the seed. Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Xinyun is a priest, and he can read historical records directly from the seeds. And I'm ...... There are remnants of purple smoke cells in her body, and she may have a chance to resurrect her. As for the remaining vacant seats......"

"Of course it's me. Ranyang suddenly spoke, his tone non-negotiable, "I must always be by the Lord's side. ”

Deshui didn't have much interest in that kind of child, shrugged his shoulders, and was noncommittal.

Zhao Tianyu patted the table in front of him dissatisfied: "Why of course it's you, why can't it be me?"

"For I am a person of the Lord's seal. It's as simple as that. Ranyang glanced at Zhao Tianyu expressionlessly, as if he didn't bother to explain at all.

"I'm too lazy to tell you more. Zhao Tianyu snorted coldly: "Jiang Xiao, you say, who do you take up the remaining vacant seat?"

"I ......" Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly, but looked at Xinyun: "Xinyun, you can say it." ”

"You...... Do you really want Zhao Tianyu to accompany you?" Xinyun had a wicked smile on her face: "Isn't it enough to have me with you......?" So greedy?"

"What does it have to do with greed!" Jiang Xiao continued to smile bitterly: "I'm just...... I'm just worried. ”

"Worried...... Someone from the academy?"

"Hmm. Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth in his heart: "Frankly speaking, I'm not sure if the academy has mastered our movements and will continue to track us until the lake. If we can get into the submersible smoothly to the bottom of the lake, then the people in the submersible ...... It should be considered safe. ”

Xinyun nodded and affirmed, "That's right." Even if the academy continues to lock on our tracks, it is unlikely that it will be able to recruit enough diving equipment to resist the water pressure at a depth of nearly two thousand meters in such a short period of time. As long as we can dive into the lake, the Academy's assassins won't be able to chase after us. ”

"So...... The problem lies with the Poseidon on the lake. If the academy chases after them, then the remaining two people on the Poseidon will definitely be their only target. ”

"You...... Are you worried about Zhao Tianyu?" Xinyun glanced at Jiang Xiao, and there seemed to be a smile on her face.

"Yes. Jiang Xiao nodded honestly: "After all, Tianyu has just awakened, and whether it is the control of ability or combat experience, it is far inferior to Chaoyang." I'm worried about ......"

"Well, no more talk. Xinyun simply interrupted Jiang Xiao neatly: "It's so decided, chaos, you and Deshui stay on the lake to respond, and Tianyu will enter the bottom of the lake with us." ”

“...... Good. ”

Although he was reluctant in his heart, he accepted the chaos of the seal, and he only had infinite loyalty to Xinyun. Now that the Lord has made a decision, he naturally can't make any more objections, so he can only agree.

"So...... So it was decided. Do you have any questions?" Xin Yun looked at the rest of the group, and no one said anything more.

"Then ...... Tomorrow morning, we will set off towards Lake Baikal!" Xinyun clapped her palms twice and jumped off the bed: "Rest early and recuperate!"

"Heart rhyme. ”

The group walked out of Jiang Xiao and Deshui's room, and Jiang Xiao suddenly stopped Xinyun.

"What?" Xinyun turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile.

"Thank you. Jiang Xiao and Xinyun looked at each other and thanked them very seriously.

"I know, good night~" Xinyun grinned, turned around, waved her hand with her back to Jiang Xiao, and closed the door.
