148 Ocean Transport
The 10,000-ton giant ship of Yuantong Ocean Shipping Company has a height of nearly 20 meters and is six stories high.
At this height, once a person who has not been professionally trained enters the water with the wrong posture, he may even be killed!
And when Lupin grabbed Ge Xu and jumped down, Ge Xu was indeed so frightened that he danced, but when he was close to the water, Lupin pushed upwards hard, and Ge Xu's falling kinetic energy was suddenly canceled out by half, and the remaining speed was like jumping into the water from a height of two or three meters, which was no big deal.
Lupin, on the other hand, "smashed" into the water like a meteorite, disappeared in the blink of an eye.
However, he soon reappeared, and his whole body was completely changed, his skin was covered with a layer of fine silver scales, and there were several narrow cracks on the sides of his neck. From head to toe, the muscles are streamlined, like a swimmer who has been immersed in water all year round. There is a faint membranous structure between the fingers.
This is exactly the reconstituted state of the fish-man.
During the two days spent on the freighter, Lupin was not idle, in addition to exchanging information with Chu Zixue about the Crystal Palace and the Remnant Organization, he also used the Pandora substance to optimize the recombinant state available in the water.
After the herring gene has been strengthened, the ability of the gills to exchange oxygen has been greatly improved! It is now able to support Lupin's normal underwater breathing during non-strenuous activity...... In his fish-man form, he also added some land animal genes to increase explosiveness, making the fish-man swim faster in the water than some fish.
At this time, Lu Ping quickly swam to the panicked Ge Xu, hugged his body and lifted him up, so that his mouth and nose could breathe out of the water.
Unexpectedly, Ge Xu suddenly grabbed Lupin's hair with both hands and pressed it down fiercely!
It's not that Ge Xu deliberately wanted to murder Lupin, after all, the slave chip was in his mind, and if he had intentionally done this, he would have been burned to death by the chip discharge......
This is completely a subconscious struggle of the drowning person!
Normally, a person who rescues a drowning person can easily be caught by the other party and put himself in danger unless he or she is professionally trained and has life-saving equipment...... People on the verge of life and death often burst out with extraordinary power and are unable to think rationally! Grabbing anything will be used as a lifesaver, and you will desperately pull it down.
It is not uncommon for a strong man with excellent water nature to save a child or woman who has fallen into the water and put his life into it.
But Lupin was no ordinary person after all.
With a twist of his hand, he twisted one of Ge Xu's arms behind his back, like a vice jamming his wrists, so that he could no longer move...... Then he easily lifted the upper half of his body out of the water with one hand, and at the same time shouted into his ear: "Don't move! You're not in danger anymore! ”
As the entire waist up was steadily surfacing and breathing in the fresh air, Ge Xu's mood gradually stabilized......
"Yes, I'm sorry." Ge Xu's face turned pale.
"Alright...... How are you feeling and are there any signs of poisoning? Lupin asked in a deep voice.
Ge Xu closed his eyes for a moment and shook his head slightly, "The divine water should be effective, I don't feel any numbness for the time being." ”
Lupin nodded slightly.
Now the global climate has changed dramatically, and it has been transformed into the hellish world from which the gods came, at the cost of polluted water bodies around the world, containing unequal amounts of hell toxins...... In fact, there are in the air, just a little thinner! Therefore, the residents of Dream Weaving City have to take divine water every once in a while to detoxify.
Lupin himself, because he already has the ability to regenerate no less than that of a second-turn immortal, is now not afraid of the hell toxins in the air and water...... Unless he dies and devours seawater in great force.
The sound of "boom" was far away, it was the engine of a 10,000-ton freighter.
"Put on your wetsuit first." Lupin Road.
He himself was light and simple, but Ge Xu was carrying a backpack with highly compressed mini gas cylinders, diving suits and other advanced equipment, all of which cost about 70,000 general coins.
"Diving down about 700 meters from here, it is said that this is where the 'Crystal Palace' is located......," Lu Ping thought to himself, "Chu Zixue said that it is a human underwater city with a high degree of openness, and if you swim directly into it with the appearance of a transcendent, you can get enough courtesy, and you can get a legal identity by registering...... But I always feel that it's a bit high-profile!
"This information is all Chu Zixue's words, although I don't think he has the need to lie to me, but it's better to be cautious and low-key."
Thinking about it.
Suddenly, on the sea in the distance to the south, a red signal flare with extremely high brightness rose into the sky!
Lupin suddenly turned his head to look...... In the stormy night of the sea, his senses could faintly see some irregularly shaped black shadows floating on the sea in that direction, like a small broken boat, and at the same time, his ears could hear some human shouts.
The flare is at the top, exploding a ball of fire, forming a distress mark of "SOS".
Lu Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, and then turned his head to look at the east - the 10,000-ton giant ship of Yuantong Ocean Transportation Company in Dream Weaving City had just sailed a few hundred meters away at this time!
There is no doubt that it is impossible for the people on the giant ship not to see such an obvious distress signal.
But the steel behemoth continued to drive coldly and unwaveringly towards the east, without the slightest hint of slowing down or changing course...... And so it faded away.
Lupin could even hear the desperate roar of human voices coming from the southern sea.
Yuantong Ocean Shipping Company travels back and forth between Dream Weaving City and some island cities in the East all year round to conduct some trade. Lupin remembered this company because his parents also went to sea on a huge ship of the Yuantong Ocean Shipping Company!
The ship carried 100,000 poor laborers, claiming to rush to repair offshore oil wells...... In the end, "shipwrecked", 100,000 people evaporated!
The inside story learned from the Spark Organization shows that what Yuantong Ocean Shipping Company did back then may be the behavior of Montnets Company in disguise.
You must know that eleven years ago, the company was just a small company with a small name, but soon after the shipwreck, it ...... It has become a large company with a market value of more than 10 billion, and ranks among the top ten ranks of Dream Weaving City's big capital!
"Yaw a few hundred meters, or put a small boat, you can save people, but you can't seem to see it?" Lupin blinked.
Finally, with a low sigh, he dragged Ge Xu, who had already put on a diving suit, dived about two meters below the surface of the water, and quickly swam towards the southern sea where the signal flare was released.
In one second, he swam seven or eight meters, which is equivalent to four times that of a human swimming champion, and this is still dragging Ge Xu together......
About a minute later, Lupin was in the sea where the helper was...... But a hundred meters away, he stopped swimming and didn't move forward, because he found that the sea water in this area actually had a surging pink and bloody smell!
When I surfaced and looked forward, it was indeed a 40-meter-long tin fishing boat, which was broken into several pieces and scattered around.
On some of the floating wreckage, frightened-looking humans were screaming in despair as they watched the back of the 10,000-ton ship leave, and there were even more broken corpses in the water......
Lupin sank underwater, glaring and looking around.
There is a transparent film between his eyes and the seawater, which improves his underwater eyesight, and when he looks at it, he suddenly sees a human shadow with a fishtail and a human body, hovering at a depth of more than ten meters underwater, holding a half-cut human corpse in his hand, which is greedily gnawing.
"The undead? And is it the undead of the Water Tribe who failed in the Gift Ritual? Lupin frowned deeply.
