Chapter 66: Another Attack
"It's kind of ...... A little off. Jiang Xiao frowned behind Xinyun.
Because the whistle on the Poseidon had sounded twice, the fishing boat still did not change course, and the position of the sailing was still straight in the direction of the Poseidon.
Now in the cockpit, there are two people, Chaoyang and Zhao Tianyu. Hearing this, they also realized that something was wrong, and the boat struck sharply in one direction, drawing a large circle to the right, and at the same time firing four short whistles in succession.
In the nautical whistle signal, this means a warning and does not require the other party to take evasive action.
But the ship, with the turn of the Poseidon, immediately filled the left rudder, also drew a large semicircle, and still rushed towards the Poseidon.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Xiao slammed the railing in front of him: "It's the enemy!"
No fishing boat would deliberately make such a move. If this continues, the two ships will soon collide together.
The Poseidon was just an ordinary research ship, not an armored battleship. If they collided with the fishing boat at full speed, no matter what happened to the fishing boat, at least the Poseidon would never have been able to continue sailing normally, if it had not sunk.
In the cabin, old Isaiah also heard the whistle, hurriedly ran to the deck, saw the fishing boat in front of him, his eyes lit up, and immediately rushed into the cockpit.
Then, there was a sudden mechanical sound in the engine room, which was the sound of the propeller reversing, and the Poseidon slowed down sharply, and at the same time changed the right full rudder to the left full rudder.
Isaiah Sr. was not a seaman in the strict sense of the word. But as a veteran marine biologist, his days at sea are no shorter than those of ordinary seafarers, and he is very familiar with the Poseidon. In the face of such a sudden critical moment, the understanding of the ship's performance and the decisiveness of dealing with it are naturally not comparable to Zhao Tianyu, who is now on duty in the cockpit, and Chaoyang.
Although the fishing boat also immediately changed its rudder position, it was still inferior to the Poseidon in terms of flexibility, and it was too late to seize the direction of the Poseidon.
At this moment, looking down from the sky, both ships have made an S-shaped trajectory. It's just that the Poseidon's arc is a little greater.
Jiang Xiao watched the fishing boat rush over, originally thinking that the two boats would still collide together, but the old Isaiah's rudder still dodged the side of the two ships in time, almost a finger away, passing by.
It wasn't until the sterns of the two ships separated from each other that Jiang Xiao and Xinyun breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, glanced at each other, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs.
"Looks ...... The people of the Academy...... They found us anyway. Jiang Xiao's face was gloomy and he said to his heart.
At this time, Zhao Tianyu and Chaoyang also ran out of the wheelhouse and came to the deck, with the same solemn expressions.
"What's going on?" Jiang Xiao frowned. He was originally fishing on the side and didn't see the opening part.
Chaoyang turned his head to look at the stern of the boat, the fishing boat that had just passed by, and said in a deep voice, "That boat...... At first it just appeared in front of our side. It drove straight without any traces of steering. According to estimates, even if we both drive normally, we will only pass by. But when the distance was less than a nautical mile, they suddenly made a rudder, not by much margin, but just in the direction we were traveling. I radioed twice and didn't respond or change direction again. It's the same after changing to a whistle. By the time I finally turned the rudder, it was almost too late. Fortunately, Isaiah Sr. was experienced and took over the operation. ”
"Hmm. Jiang Xiao nodded, it seemed that this was obviously deliberately aimed at them.
But the strange thing is that the ship, after staggering, did not turn around again and continue to pursue them, but went away without looking back.
"Again...... What's going on?" Xinyun pointed to the ship's distant wake: "They...... Just tried to ram our ship and didn't succeed after that...... Just give up?"
"Maybe you know you can't catch up with us. Zhao Tianyu thought for a while: "Our boat is faster than them. At first, it was barely feasible to take advantage of us lightly, and it was barely feasible to ambush us, but now that we have taken precautions, no matter how much we pursue, we will definitely not be able to catch up. Why do all this useless work?"
"But...... The attack was arranged by the Academy...... It's too hasty. Xinyun shook her head slowly, her face solemn: "Is it difficult for them to do it...... But even if they were to hit us completely, we wouldn't die here so easily. The helicopter on the aft deck, although there were not enough seats, was enough to carry us to the shore even if it was hung on the landing gear. It's close to the Aleutian Islands, and it's not far from RB's Hokkaido, so there's enough fuel for us to find a piece of land to land. ”
"When the two boats met just now, did anyone jump up to help?" Zhao Tianyu asked with a frown.
"Absolutely not. Jiang Xiao shook his head and said categorically: "I have long been aware of this, and I have deliberately watched carefully, from beginning to end on their deck, not even half a figure has appeared." Simply ......"
He smiled wryly, "It's like a ghost ship." ”
"I also paid close attention, and it was true that no one approached, and there was no sense of mental power detection. Xin Yun also added: "Of course, if it is an assassin who has received the Dean's seal, he will be able to hide my spiritual power. ”
"So what are they trying to do? It can't be...... It's just an accident......" Zhao Tianyu looked at the fishing boat that had almost disappeared without a trace, leaving only a small shadow in the sea and sky.
"It's hard to say yet. In a word...... The next step must be immediately more careful. Jiang Xiao said: "Now we are close to the sea surface of Northeast Asia, although there are still two days to reach the coastline of Russia, but there will be more and more ships in this area." From now on, no matter what ship you find, no matter what it is, you must be vigilant!"
"Understood. The other three all nodded immediately.
I don't know why, it's clear that the highest rank here is Xinyun, and Jiang Xiao is just a semi-awakened person, but in this small group, his prestige is getting higher and higher, and he is becoming more and more accustomed to being the master and giving orders, and he has faintly become a leader.
"So...... Let's go ahead and rest. It's raining, it's messy, you go back to the cab first, and replace old Isaiah. He was supposed to be still sleeping. But if something goes wrong, report it to everyone. Jiang Xiao said to Zhao Tianyu and Chaoyang.
"Good. Zhao Tianyu nodded, and turned around and walked towards the cab with Chaoyang.
But the two had just walked a few steps, but Xinyun kicked Zhao Tianyu's back violently, and shouted at the same time: "Be careful!"
Zhao Tianyu heard Xinyun's warning, and the vigilance of the whole body was instantly mentioned to the maximum, and tacitly concentrated the strength of the whole body on the back, unloaded the strength of Xinyun's kick, and then flew away with her kick.
And Xinyun kicked Zhao Tianyu away, and he also used his strength to roll away on the other side, leaving only an open space in the middle.
At the same time, a wave of water on the surface of the sea shot like a torpedo, and hit the side of the ship, splashing a column of water high. And the column of water turned out to be like a life, not rising vertically and falling vertically, but shooting towards Zhao Tianyu's original location.
Fortunately, Xinyun's innate ability allowed her to accurately predict the trajectory of all objects around her body and react in advance, and this column of water was about to shoot into Zhao Tianyu's body.
Although Xinyun didn't know what the mystery of that water column was, and what damage Zhao Tianyu would do after being shot by it, he couldn't take such a risk at will.
Maybe...... That's what the Academy's new assassins are capable of?
The water crashed into the air, but instead of splashing, it shook on the ground like a mass of gel.
At this moment, Jiang Xiao and the others had already taken a few steps back, surrounding the strange cloud of water in the center, with solemn faces. The two of them, Xin Yun and Chao Yang, who were about to return to the cab, also stopped, facing the water as if they were facing a great enemy.
The attack of the academy has finally arrived again!
"It's ...... What the hell?"
At the door of the cabin, Deshui asked in a daze. He had been sleeping under the cabin, but he was thrown into a big turn by the full rudder of the rudder, and he almost fell out of bed.
Old Isaiah sensed something was wrong and rushed into the cockpit. But Deshui was accustomed to sleeping naked, and he was in a hurry, and it took him a long time to put on all his clothes, and he rushed to the deck a few minutes late, and happened to see the whole process of the water column falling on the deck and condensing into a ball.
And that mass of water, in front of everyone's eyes, began the process of deformation and distortion, as if it had life, slowly erected, and finally gradually took on a human form.
A crystal humanoid that is almost entirely transparent!
"Tianyu!" Jiang Xiao drank in a deep voice, and didn't do anything more, Zhao Tianyu had already made up his mind, bent over and kicked his legs, and rushed towards the figure at high speed, his right hand had already become a hand knife.
In front of Gao Zhoubo, there is nothing that cannot be cut off.
Zhao Tianyu's hand knife cut into the humanoid's body at an extremely high speed, but it didn't feel any touch of flesh, as if it was ...... Really cut into a ball of water.
But a cloud of water...... How can you support yourself and condense into a human form?
Zhao Tianyu's heart froze, he didn't dare to stay, he had already swept past the water man-type and fell to Jiang Xiao's side, and shook his head slightly: "It's useless." ”
By this time, the water had completely condensed into a human form. Although it is almost transparent water color, you can still see the facial features.
And it'...... Or that she has a slender figure, a bee waist and hips, and long breasts and thighs, and she is actually a female figure.
"Good afternoon, everyone. The woman had already taken shape, but she didn't immediately attack Jiang Xiao and the others, but looked around left and right, and said softly: "My name is Youxuan, it's a pleasure to meet everyone." ”
