Chapter 1, shipwreck, Hikochi Han!

It was late at night.

The starry night spots on the deck, one by one like pearls in the sea, dazzling, bright and bright.

Yan Daohan leaned on the railing, blowing the unobstructed polar east wind in the Antarctic Circle, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hiko! Come back to the warehouse! Time to eat! ”

An American man with a high nose and deep eyes called out to him. The man's name was Arnold. Alex, that's his father, to be precise, it's supposed to be his stepfather after his parents divorced, and his mother found him a stepfather.

The ship that Yan Daohan was on was an ice-breaking research ship specially rented by his stepfather and his mother, who is a scientific researcher. There were only a dozen people on board. A captain, a first mate, and several sailors, several maintenance personnel.

Dinner was a cauldron of braised Antarctic krill and one serving of Antarctic cod.

Yan Daohan has been eating these almost every day in the past few days, and he is about to vomit when he eats.

He ate a little as if chewing wax, then put down his knife and fork and asked his mother.

"Mom~~ When will you finish the investigation, I'm almost tired of staying on the sea every day!"

Yan Daohan's mother's name is Chu Xiling, she is thin and thin, and she looks like a very rational scientific researcher.

Chu Xiling and Alex glanced at each other, and then Alex smiled and comforted Yan Dao coldly.

"Yan, come on, did you see that shiny thing not far away when you went out just now? It's an iceberg, we're almost close to the Antarctic continent, and we'll be able to go back when we go ashore and take some specimens. ”

Yan Daohan pouted, he knew that no matter how much he complained, this ship would not return, so it was better not to say it, I didn't want to, just go back to sleep!

"I'm done!"

Yan Daohan jumped down from the high chair, and he sulked and walked to his rest cabin.

Chu Xiling looked at Yan Daohan's back and couldn't help but sigh.

"This kid! I haven't even eaten well lately. ”

Alex shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently, and said, "Children who are different are still special after all." ”

"We haven't figured out any drugs to treat him until now, so we really don't know how long he can last."

Chu Xiling let out a long sigh of relief, and turned her head to look at the hatch of the cabin where Yan Daohan lived, just to prevent Alex from seeing her tears falling.

Alex patted her on the shoulder, twisted her head slightly, and whispered comfortingly.

"Don't worry, we'll find a cure for him, and if we can find that thing on our trip to the South Pole this time, we might be able to save his life."

"But that thing...... It's just a mysterious legend in the scientific community. ”

"But we always have to have some hope, don't we? At this time, hope is the driving force! ”

Chu Xiling nodded, but Alex's words didn't stop her from crying.

Chu Xiling held back tears while taking out a photo from her pocket and wiping it with her hands.

"This is still taken when Dao Han was young, the girl standing with him is my sister's child, called Chu Xiaohan, think about it, I should go to junior high school now, when I have time that day, if, this time there is no way, I will take Dao Han back to the past! At least he could be less lonely for the rest of his life. ”

Hearing this, Alex held Chu Xiling's hand tightly.

"I'll be with you ......"

……

This sleep, Yan Daohan has been having nightmares.

He dreamed that he was frozen in ice, like a silver cod in the refrigerator of a ship, unable to move.

He subconsciously looked for the shadow of the person, stretched out his hand as if it was about to be frozen, but felt a cold, wait! Cold?!

Hikochi woke up, only to find that there was water in his cabin that was 0.5 meters high.

The water was icy cold, almost soaking his quilt.

"Mom!"

"Alex?!"

Yan Daohan was a little panicked and shouted desperately.

Nobody came......

Forget it, so be it.

Yan Daohan simply gave up shouting, everyone had been hiding it from him all these years, but he himself knew it. He has a disease, which even many famous international doctors can't figure out, but such a disease with no source, or even no scientific basis, makes his internal organs fail all the time.

Maybe it won't be long......

He didn't know if the ship was really sinking, and even if it did, he didn't care......

"Dao Han! Dao Han! ”

Suddenly there was a cry outside the door.

Yan Daohan suddenly came to his senses, jumped out of bed to tread water, and hurriedly ran to the hatch door to open the hatch.

There seems to be more standing water in the hallway.

All the lights were extinguished by the burning of the turbocharger, and the interior of the ship was dim, and in the dimness, Yan Daohan saw an emaciated figure fluttering towards him.

"The bottom of the boat has hit an iceberg, Dao Han go out with his mother!"

Chu Xiling grabbed Yan Daohan's hand and walked outside.

But it seemed that it was too late, and more water was used to bring in, biting ice.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Chu Xiling said as she hugged Yan Daohan. Water is seeping in like this, and sooner or later it will bury Yan Daohan entirely.

Chu Xiling was half running or paddling with one hand, and soon the exit was already in front of her.

"Chu! Elegant! Get on board! ”

On the sea, a dark gray dinghy undulates on the surface of the sea, and Alex is waving and shouting on the dinghy in a life jacket.

Chu Xiling suddenly burst out with a very strong force. While holding Yan Daohan, he rowed hard towards the dinghy.

But at this moment, an undercurrent suddenly surged, and Chu Xiling seemed to be pushed by something, spinning on the sea.

A small whirlpool spawns out of thin air, like a black hole, except that it leads to a dark ocean floor......

Chu Xiling suddenly lost her strength and passed out, while Yan Daohan was swept into the whirlpool at the moment when Chu Xiling was unconscious.

"Chu!"

Alex suddenly exclaimed.

jumped into the water and swam towards the unconscious Chu Xiling and the gradually sinking Yan Daohan.

"It's ...... Where is it? ”

Yan Daohan only felt that the air around him was very oppressive...... No! There seems to be no air around!

"I'm ...... Dead? ”

Yan Daohan barely opened his eyes, and there was a dead silence around him. In the dark, you can feel the temperature of the salty sea around you.

"Dying, huh?"

Yan Daohan could feel that Dao himself had been sinking, as if he was about to sink into the abyss.

"Knock knock...... Knock knock ......"

Suddenly, a sound that seemed to be a heartbeat was transmitted to Yan Daohan's ears.

Yan Daohan was excited, turned over and looked down. In the deep water, a dazzling blue light shone towards him!

That's a ball! Like water, countless crystal clear waves emitting the blue light of eggs, with the regular ups and downs of the sea, like a beating heart!

Yan Daohan leaned towards the water balloon as if he was fascinated. It wasn't until I got closer that I realized that the water balloon was so large that if it was empty, it could even fit him into it entirely.

Yan Daohan subconsciously reached out and touched it, in fact, he didn't have much consciousness at this time.

A large wave of cold came, this is not the kind of cold sea water, the cold of the sea is just the cold of the bone, and the cold emitted by this ball is as if it wants to freeze his soul!

In just such an instant, the breath that originally supported Yan Daohan instantly turned into countless blisters, and Yan Daohan's eyes were dark and he was no longer conscious.

……

Yan Daohan didn't think that he would be able to wake up again, and when Yan Daohan woke up again, he was still in a room.

The room was dilapidated, and judging by the level of bumpiness in the place, it was not difficult for Hikoto to tell that he was still at sea.

Yan Daohan struggled to sit up, snoring evenly in private, and Yan Daohan noticed that he was not the only one in this room.

There were worn-out wooden beds scattered in this room, and the beds were invariably covered with dirty blankets.

And the top of the blanket is full of people, all skin colors, all ages, all unkempt.

"Are you awake?"

Since the lights were not turned on in the room, and the person was sitting in the small window on a wall, where the sun could not shine, the sudden opening of the person really startled Yan Daohan.

"Don't be afraid...... Are you also Chinese? ”

Yan Daohan leaned over to look at the man, who was a little brother who didn't look much older than him, with yellow skin, black hair, and a distinctly Asian face.

"Yes...... I'm from Huaxia! ”

Yan Daohan said with some excitement that in this strange place, there were no other people he knew around him, and this compatriot who suddenly took the initiative to talk to him made him feel more cordial.

The man's eyes changed suddenly. muttered to himself, "Sure enough! Sure enough, they also have human trafficking from China! ”

Yan Daohan saw that the man's hands suddenly burst out, and a wave of killing intent burst out inexplicably in his eyes.

"That...... May I ask? What exactly is this place? ”

The man thought for a moment and said.

"Here...... It is a smuggling ship that abducts and sells slaves......"

"What? These people were all abducted? ”

"Nope! To be precise, robbery, deception! But they were abducted, and I wasn't. ”

"Then why are you here?"

"I'm ...... Take the initiative to get on the boat. ”

"Why?" Yan Daohan said in surprise.

The man shook his head and did not answer his question.

"What's your name?" The man asked suddenly.

"My name is Yan Daohan. What about you? ”

"Me? …… My name is Eighteen ......"

"Eighteen?"

"If you want, you can also call me Gu Feng......"
