Four days later, the harbor of Long Beach, Los Angeles.

Jiang Xiao and his entourage of six stood on the dock of the port, looking at the high-tech scientific research ship docked in front of them.

The silver-white streamlined hull was loaded with all kinds of facilities, but except for a small helicopter on the back deck, none of them could be recognized by Jiang Xiao and the others, let alone explain their purpose.

Apart from...... Isaiah the Elder.

Since that day, Jiang Xiao brought Deshui back, he has officially become one of the members of this improvised patchwork brigade.

Before he returned to the hotel, he originally hoped that Jiang Xiao and Zhao Tianyu would hide it for him and not tell Xinyun and the others the true situation, because even he felt that it was a bit of a chicken thief and a shame to do so.

But Jiang Xiao simply rejected him. Because Jiang Xiao didn't want to hide anything in the team.

Therefore, Deshui could only be helplessly ridiculed by Xinyun. Fortunately, in the past few days, his depressed mood has gradually calmed down.

I said...... Am I going to shrink this ship here?" Deshui stretched out his hand, gently stroking the silver-white hull in front of him, feeling the high-tech aura coming from above, and looked around with some embarrassment.

Long Beach is one of the top 10 ports in the world in terms of throughput and the largest port on the West Coast of the United States. At present, there are nearly 100 ships of all kinds moored in the port.

And the crowd on the dock is also endless, as many as ants.

In such a bustling place, a ship suddenly disappears in plain sight, which is too eye-catching.

No awakened person would be so idiotic as to use his abilities indiscriminately under the public's nose.

"No, of course not. Old Isaiah shook his head: "We got on the ship, and then sailed directly across the Pacific Ocean to Russia." ”

"What? we?!" Xinyun was stunned and said in surprise, "You mean...... You're going to get on board too?!"

"Isn't that a matter of course?" said Isaiah Sr., looking at Xinyun strangely, "You think I shouldn't be on board?"

"Yes...... It has nothing to do with you. Xinyun frowned and shook her head: "Old Isaiah, I understand you." Although you are the Awakened, you have never had the slightest interest in the affairs of the Awakened circle, and are only obsessed with your research on marine life. Fear...... I'm the only friend in your circle of the Awoken. This kind of thing shouldn't involve you. ”

"But you wouldn't even be able to sail the ship away from this dock without me!" Old Isaiah glared at Xinyun, "Have you ever sailed a boat......?" I guess the only time you've ever dealt with a boat in your life is when you've gone on vacation on a yacht! But those scrap iron are not the same thing as my baby Poseidon! Do you think that driving a boat is just a matter of putting a steering wheel? Do you know how to use so much equipment on board? Do you know how to drive that deep-sea submersible? Do you know how to locate yourself? Do you know how to set a course? Do you know how to avoid a storm? I don't know anything, how are you going to go to sea?"

Xinyun was dumbfounded by his words.

When she didn't know that the hard atmospheric wetsuit could only dive to a maximum depth of 500 meters, she thought it was too simple. I just planned to borrow a few wetsuits from old Isaiah and take them to Lake Baikal, so that I could dive.

But now, since it is necessary to drive a deep-sea submersible, there is also a supporting big ship...... I'm afraid it's really far beyond the scope of Xinyun's ability.

"But...... Why should we sail all the way across the Pacific Ocean to Russia? It will take at least twenty days, right?" Xinyun frowned: "Even if you want to go along, why can't we get on the boat, sail to a secluded coast, make the boat smaller, and then take it on the plane and fly directly to Russia? This is also the itinerary I originally planned." ”

"I proposed it. Jiang Xiao suddenly said lightly on the side.

"Ahh

"Not for this reason. Jiang Xiao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Since the academy sent Shen Lian to ambush us at the airport before, it means ...... The channels through which you used to apply for fake documents have been infiltrated by them. Now from legal channels, from the United States to Russia, I am afraid that we will be under their surveillance all the time. ”

"The Academy must have found a place for us to settle these days, but it hasn't sent out any new Assassins, I think...... It should be that the dean plans to accumulate a plurality of Imprint Awakened Ones, and then form a team to solve us at once. And we're ...... now The biggest advantage is that the college doesn't know where we're going to end up yet. ”

"I see. Xinyun nodded: "Do you think...... If we can avoid customs and public transportation, we will be able to figure out what we want to do next. ”

"Yes. It's not 100% sure, but at least it's a lot less likely. ”

"Also...... Right. But it's just six of us...... Can you sail such a large ship to Russia?" Xinyun frowned and looked at old Isaiah.

"Don't worry. Old Isaiah laughed: "Poseidon is like my own child, I know everything about it. And although it can only be regarded as a pocket research ship, it is absolutely world-class in terms of sophistication. As long as I teach you by hand for half a day, basic driving will be no problem. ”

"Okay!" Xinyun thought about it, and immediately made up her mind: "So...... That's how we set off! Straight from the sea to Russia!"

......

Blue sky, sunshine, sea, breeze.

In the afternoon, Xinyun lazily lay in the hammock on the deck, watching a flock of seagulls fly slowly not far away.

This is the tenth day of the voyage. According to Isaiah's calculations, in two more days they will be able to reach Vladivostok, the largest port of Russia in the Far East.

The city that once belonged to China and was called Vladivostok.

It was a wonderful voyage...... It's almost over......

Originally, Xinyun was against the plan to cross the Pacific Ocean by boat, but after only one day, she immediately fell in love with the trip.

It's true...... That's great!

Although I have sailed on a yacht many times before, this is the first time that Xinyun has really entered the open sea.

In just two hours, Isaiah Sr. taught everyone how to steer the research ship. And after getting familiar with the operation, there is no need for even six people. Most of the work is left to the autopilot equipment, and only one person needs to be left in the wheelhouse and occasionally check that the various equipment is working properly to ensure that the ship can continue to move towards its destination.

Of course, in order to ensure that no accidents happen, Jiang Xiao still advocated the formulation of regulations, no matter at any time, two people must be in the cab at the same time. Six people, exactly divided into three shifts, two people in each group, were on duty in the cab for eight hours.

At Xinyun's strong request, she and Jiang Xiao were placed in the same group. The remaining two groups are Zhao Tianyu and Ranyang, as well as old Isaiah and Yu Deshui.

Now, it was the time when she had just finished her duty and was sunbathing on deck.

The standard crew size of the Poseidon was 20 people, and the maximum crew size was 50 people, so naturally there were plenty of cabins for each of them. The food and fresh water on board were enough to keep them from eating the same meal every day for the entire voyage.

In addition to the necessary navigation facilities and scientific research facilities, there are also a variety of entertainment equipment on board. But except for the first two days, Xinyun almost never touched it.

Because of the sea breeze and the sun, it was so beautiful.

Jiang Xiao was fishing beside her. Xinyun watched him hang the bait on the hook, and then threw it far into the sea, the pulley spinning rapidly, until it was thrown nearly 100 meters, and then fell into the sea.

Xinyun picked up the two bottles of Coke that were frozen through the ice basin next to the recliner, opened one bottle by herself, took a big sip with satisfaction, called Jiang Xiao, and then threw the other bottle over.

"Thanks. Jiang Xiao held the fishing rod with one hand, and with the other hand, he steadily caught the Coke thrown by Xinyun, revealing a bright smile.

Looking at Jiang Xiao's smiling face in the sun, a thought suddenly popped up in Xinyun's heart.

- What if...... It's good that this journey can never end.

She got up from the recliner and rubbed beside Jiang Xiao, her little face leaning over to look at the bucket beside him. There were already two real sea bream, a tiger head fish, and a sea catfish in the bucket.

"Hehe, today's harvest is good!" Xinyun patted Jiang Xiao's head and sat down beside him: "What are you going to do at night?"

"Whatever, I don't care. Jiang Xiao shrugged: "If you like, let's go to the deck and have an open-air barbecue." ”

"Good !!" Xinyun's little face smiled, raised her hands high, and jumped high: "I like barbecue the most!"

At this moment, the two suddenly heard a short whistle.

A short sound, in the nautical whistle signal, means that it has met another ship with a conflicting course, and sends a signal to ask the other party to meet the ship from the port side of the ship.

In the more than ten days of sailing, Jiang Xiao and Xinyun had never heard the news from the Poseidon. Instead of taking the usual route, they deviated from it by a distance of tens of nautical miles. Although it will increase the overall range slightly, it will also greatly reduce the chance of meeting other ships.

In fact, this was the first ship seen after the Poseidon left the North American coast.

Xinyun hurriedly jumped up and ran in the direction of the bow of the boat. Jiang Xiao frowned and thought about it, and also put down the fishing rod, stood up, and followed behind Xinyun.

In front of the Poseidon, a fishing boat was approaching head-to-head.

It was an ordinary fishing boat, only slightly larger than the Poseidon, but strangely there was not a single figure on the deck, and the machine was not running, not even a single catch could be seen.
