Chapter 4 Confluence
Radio: This is Escape Pod 3, uploading our coordinates. Something went wrong with our spare underwater thrusters, so we might be late to the rendezvous point. Please don't leave us behind, I mean it! Complete.
At this time, Reilly's PDA also received the coordinates of the No. 3 escape pod, which seemed to be not far away.
Reilly stepped out of the escape pod and swam straight in the direction of Escape Pod 3.
About ten minutes later, Reilly encountered two oncoming men, a man and a woman, the man in front of him and the woman pulling the boy's feet behind.
They were extremely excited when they saw Reilly, and soon came to Reilly's side.
"Are you two the crew members of Escape Pod 3?" Reilly asked.
The two nodded at the same time, and the man reached out and shook Reilly's hand, and said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be called Reilly." ”
Reilly smiled and nodded.
"Hello, I'm George, she's Daisy, and we're both from the engineering team. Our escape pod was surrounded by a patch of green algae, and after landing a lot of long-billed and sharp-toothed fish surrounded our escape pod, and when the pod was about to sink, we escaped, and then we ran into you. George explained.
Reilly nodded, and said, "Then let's hurry up and meet at the place instructed by Chief Kim." ”
In this way, the three of them began to go to the meeting point instructed by Chief Kim.
The underwater thrusters are mainly controlled by George, and Reilly and Daisy are dragged forward by George's feet by George, so that all three of them can save some energy.
On the way, Reilly and Daisy have been underwater observing their surroundings.
When passing through the shallows, the trio were either forced to dodge by the gas puffs of the gas fish, or were chased by the exploding fish and fled in all directions.
As they pass through the green algae forest, the stalkers around them will inexplicably catch up with them, letting out angry roars, as if warning the trio not to intrude on their territory at will.
When passing by the red algae beach, the sand under the water occasionally sprang up with short, fat, sharp-toothed sharks that would attack any creature that came close to them.
When they chose to float to avoid the sand shark, a huge low roar came from overhead, and a shadow enveloped the bodies of the three people, and the three of them looked up and saw that it was a huge reefback fish, and the posture of the reefback fish shocked the three of them speechless, and at this moment they felt how small they were in this world.
Luckily, the reefback fish was not interested in them and was slow to move, it just passed over the heads of the three and left quickly.
The three of them quickly returned to the surface of the sea, gasping for breath, and then pressed forward in front of the sea, not daring to dive into the sea again.
After five or six minutes of walking, Daisy looked at the endless sea around her, and said impatiently: "Why haven't we seen land after swimming for so long, are we in the wrong direction or haven't heard the instructions clearly?" ”
Reilly glanced back at the Aurora, then turned back and said, "I also received the instructions from Chief Kim, and the direction is correct, let's swim forward." ”
Daisy buried her head in the water and looked at it, then looked up and said worriedly, "The further you go, the deeper the water becomes, who knows if there are any dangerous creatures hiding down there, I think it's better to go back to the shallows and wait for clearer instructions, you say?" ”
"We're at least halfway there, so it's a shame to go back now." Reilly said.
The two were communicating in the back, and George was in front with the underwater thrusters, and he was always paying attention to the environment in front of him, when he suddenly said, "Look ahead." ”
Hearing this, the two raised their heads and looked ahead, only to see a hazy fog ahead, and if they looked closely, there was a huge looming outline inside the fog, but they couldn't see what it was.
George also stopped at this time and said, "Could this be a mirage?" ”
"I look like a huge sea beast, I am inexplicably scared when I look at it, I think we should go back to the shallows, and stop looking ahead." Daisy said scaredly.
Both Reilly and George gave Daisy a blank look, not taking her words to heart at all.
"Maybe this is the meeting place that Chief Kim said." Reilly said to George.
George nodded and smiled: "Whatever this is, just walk in and take a look, let's go." ”
When George activated the underwater thruster and was about to swim forward, Daisy let go.
"You go, I don't dare to go, I'll wait for you here, and I'll go over when you're sure it's safe." Daisy said cautiously.
George didn't get used to her, he took Daisy directly with one hand and swam forward, saying, "Don't be afraid, what's the danger, the two of us can't protect you, it's even more dangerous for you to stay alone in this vast sea." ”
After the three of them continued to swim forward for two or three hundred meters, the surrounding fog disappeared, and a huge island appeared in front of the three of them.
The island was covered with trees and two high protruding peaks, and the ground of the island was much higher than the sea, but there seemed to be a shoal in front of the three men.
At this time, Daisy was no longer afraid, and she shouted happily: "Island! Look, it's an island, Sir Kim, they must have landed on this island, we're saved, hurry up George. ”
At this time, a man with a telescope was looking around on the edge of the island, and the man quickly spotted the three of them, so he shouted behind him, "Sir Kim, I have found three survivors who are swimming towards here. ”
Soon a dozen people appeared beside the man, and the dozen or so men saw the three of them and hurried to the shallows to meet them.
When they came to the shallows, they happened to be here.
After arriving on the island, Reilly also saw Rocky and Billy among a dozen people, neither of them gave Reilly any good looks at this time, and Reilly did not bother with them.
Chief Kim asked Reilly, "Is there anyone behind you?" Did you find any other survivors along the way? ”
The three of them looked at each other for a moment and shook their heads.
Chief Kim looked at the sea for a moment, then frowned, as if thinking about something important.
When he came back to his senses, he turned around and waved his big hand and shouted, "Come with me." ”
The crowd followed Chief Kim up to the island, and then came to an open space, and then Chief Kim motioned for everyone to sit on the ground.
After everyone sat on the ground, Chief Jin said earnestly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Captain John has died in the explosion of the Aurora just now, he is the first person to be confirmed dead after the Aurora wreck, I was talking to him when he died, and I propose to observe a minute of silence for Captain John." ”。
Although there may be some disagreements between the crew, everyone has the same respect for Captain John, and Captain John's sacrifice is a pity for everyone, so everyone slowly closes their eyes and mourns for Captain John.
After a minute, everyone opened their eyes, and Chief Kim took out the PDA, and with a few quick clicks on the PDA, he passed a copy of the information to the PDAs of all the survivors present, explaining, "Our first goal is to retrieve these nine people on the data. ”
