[158]
It's just an ordinary teammate. Fang Xin, who usually doesn't show off the mountains and rivers, actually likes Su Feiqi, which really surprised Xiao Yang. I still remember that Fang Xin was very sad when Su Feiqi died. That's why.
Su Feiqi's death actually happened not long ago, but Xiao Yang felt that it seemed to be a long time ago. In fact, Xiao Yang also felt a little guilty about that incident, but at that time he was also forced to. After the task is completed, I will probably see Su Feiqi again. I really want to see Fang Xin's expression at that time.
When Xiao Yang thought about these things, his feet had already stepped into the cockpit. At this time, Wang Hanren had already sat directly in his seat and fell asleep, leaving Jill still looking at the buttons and meters seriously.
"Thank you for your hard work, Jill." Xiao Yang walked behind Jill and smiled.
"Xiao, you're here." Jill also smiled at Xiao Yang.
Xiao Yang sat in the seat next to Jill and asked Jill, "How is the ship sailing now?"
"The ship's GIS electronic chart and the accompanying GPS seem to be faulty. Judging from its navigation system, the only land near which we can determine its orientation is an island. Jill said doubtfully, "But the strange thing is that I checked the surrounding charts in detail before I came to Asiford Island, but I don't remember that there is such an island nearby."
That island is Sanna Island. It would be strange if you could know it. Xiao Yang thought so, but of course he didn't say it.
Anyway, let's go to that island first. Anyway, there is no way to go anywhere else. Xiao Yang asked, "How long will it take to get to that island?"
"29 hours." Jill replied.
"So long?" Xiao Yang was a little surprised, "It's really hard for you to drive the boat all the time."
"It doesn't matter. I've set up automatic navigation. Don't worry about it." Jill said and yawned.
"If you are tired, go to bed." Xiao Yang said, "I'm here to watch. If there is anything wrong, I'll call you."
Gil accepted Xiao Yang's proposal. But just as she was about to lie on the table to rest, she straightened up as if she remembered something.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yang asked.
"You said you were from the anti-Ambrera organization, aren't you lying to me?" Jill's eyes have never been so sharp.
Jill comes from the original biochemical crisis. Although theoretically, the original part should have ended, Jill still remains in the team as the core character of the plot. It is impossible to predict the consequences of losing Jill's trust.
Therefore, Xiao Yang's expression was a little stiff after hearing Jill's words, but he then showed a surprised expression: "Why do you say that? We are indeed members of the anti-Ambrera organization.
"You're lying." Jill said firmly.
"We have been fighting together for so long, and you still doubt us." Xiao Yang closed his eyes and his voice became low. "It really disappoints me."
Gil was unmoved: "Indeed, you have saved me several times, and I am very grateful to you. But it's also true that you are cheating on me, right?"
"Ha ha, why do you say that?" Xiao Yang laughed, "Is it because the battles along the way are a little surreal, like playing magic? Didn't I explain that we just have some special abilities.
Jill looked at the watch on Xiao Yang's left wrist: "Is there a special space in your watch? I saw you put a lot of things in it. Don't tell me that it's also your superpower.
"You guessed it right, so what?" Xiao Yang spread out his hands and said indifferently, "This is just a high-tech product."
"You have high-tech products that only appear in science fiction, and you also have more terrorist combat ability than pursuers." Jill said, "Your team alone is enough to keep Brera's headquarters safe. But you came to Asifurt just to destroy the samples of the Veronica virus. This is useless and logically.
Xiao Yang was speechy for a moment and felt sweating on the back of his neck. I really underestimate Jill's plot character. He thought that these plots should be just virtual illusions of the system, but he didn't expect that this Jill had enough wisdom to match the enemy and easily recognized his lies. Next, you must be careful when you speak, and you must never show any flaws again.
"...Miss Jill, I can't answer your question." Xiao Yang thought for a while and then said, "We just follow orders. We can't ask what we want to do above.
"I knew you would answer like that." Jill raised her jaw with her hand. "It's really smart to push everything up, but it makes me feel more suspicious of you."
"It really makes me sad." Xiao Yang closed his eyes and the corners of his mouth were up, "So you said you believed that we were all fake at that time. If I had known, it would have been better for you to live and die on Asiford Island.
"That's not fake. I do believe you." Jill said, "At least I believe you really want to save me, so I'm willing to join your team. Of course, I don't know if you have any other purpose.
Xiao Yang quickly said, "I really have no other purpose..."
"It doesn't matter even if you don't have any intentions. Anyway, with your ability, I can't stop you from doing anything. Unexpectedly, Jill said, "I've decided. Unless you drive me away, I will stay in your team. If you need my help, I will do my best to help you.
Xiao Yang frowned: "Why?"
"There is a problem that has troubled me for a long time. And now I have a hunch that as long as I follow you all the time, I can find the answer to that question. Jill looked at the sea in front of her and said.
"Answer?" Xiao Yang's eyes widened. What does this mean?
"Don't worry too much. Anyway, we will know then." Jill smiled and waved to Xiao Yang, and then fell to the cockpit, "Good night."
Looking at Jill's peaceful sleeping face, Xiao Yang began to meditate. He was completely confused about what Jill meant by "that problem". Forget it, it's useless to fantasize now. Pay close attention to Jill in the next task. If she has any abnormal behavior, she will deal with it.
The next day. The transport ship sailed calmly at sea. The sea breeze blowing on the face was slightly salty, and the sound of the waves and the call of seagulls echoed in the air. Everything seemed very peaceful.
After insisting on vigilance all morning without finding any danger, Wang Hanren and Fang Xin relaxed and even called Peng Fei to play cards while basking in the sun on the deck. Jill didn't say anything strange. She watched the three people play cards with great interest, and later joined the card game. With her superb card skills, several other people stared.
"All of them are so leisurely. Let others see it, they will probably think that we are traveling. Xiao Yang leaned against a rocking chair and said to Luo Ruzhi beside him. Now Luo Ruzhi's seasickness is much better, at least his face is much more red than yesterday.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy today." Luo Ruzhi sighed, "The feeling of walking on the ghost gate yesterday, now it's like a dream."
"Dreaming? Ha ha, I remember that I have said something similar. It's just that the person who heard my words at that time is almost dead now. Xiao Yang's words turned around and said, "Don't be too relaxed. Remember that danger may come at any time, and paralysis is tantamount to suicide.
In fact, it is normal to be so calm today. The scene of this level is an isolated island, so there should be no difficulties outside the isolated island. Of course, this is just a hypothesis. In the hell game, crises always come when people think they are safe, making people fall into endless despair. Only by being vigilant at all times can we survive in this world.
After Xiao Yang and Luo Ruzhi finished talking, they conspired from their left arm and wanted to try to absorb natural forces from the surrounding environment again. The natural power hidden in the ocean was transmitted into Xiao Yang's body. After this process lasted for an hour, Xiao Yang shook his head and gave up this attempt. Although this method can absorb natural forces, the speed is too slow to automatically recover fast. It seems that this trick is not practical at all, and can only be used in the case of large-scale natural forces such as tsunamis or volcanic eruptions.
The next afternoon and evening were as calm as ever, and nothing happened. Xiao Yang arranged a rotating vigil and woke up all the people who were still sleeping at about 3 a.m. on the third day. According to the navigation system, it will take 4 hours to reach Sanna Island, and the degree of danger has suddenly increased.
At this time, everyone got enough rest and regained their best physical strength. Although Luo Ruzhi's seasickness has not completely disappeared, he can at least walk around. He should return to normal after a period of time on the island. However, Fang Xin's injured arm is still more troublesome, because Xiao Yang really can't find a plant to perform Muling rejuvenation, and he must go to the island to treat Fang Xin's injury.
Xiao Yang let Luo Ruzhi and Jill stay in the cockpit and called others to the deck. Peng Fei and Wang Hanren inspected both sides of the ship, while Xiao Yang himself climbed onto the watch platform of the ship to alert the surrounding situation.
When the sign representing Sanna Island appeared on the electronic chart in the cockpit, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning. The place where the sea and the sky meet is getting brighter, and it seems that the sun is about to come out. Xiao Yang leaned against the pillar of the watch platform and stared at the front of the ship while looking at the enemy radar. There is no light spot on it that indicates the enemy, so it should be safe.
"Bang--" seemed to have hit the bottom of the boat. The transport ship swayed violently, and Xiao Yang was almost thrown out of the look-up. At this time, Xiao Yang noticed that there was a huge black shadow moving in the sea under the boat!
Seeing the huge shadow, Xiao Yang immediately looked at the enemy radar again and saw that there were still only green light spots representing teammates. That is to say, no matter how terrible the underwater thing is, at least it is not hostile to everyone now, just passing by.
The shadow did not float up to attack the ship, but has been swimming leisurely on the ship, almost parallel to the transport ship.
"Captain! The navigation system shows that there is something underwater. What should I do? Luo Ruzhi's voice came from the intercom horn.
"Don't panic, you don't need to deal with it for the time being." Xiao Yang instructed, "Let Jill not act rashly now."
After saying that, Xiao Yang returned to the deck from the lookout. By this time, Wang Hanren had taken out his gun, and Peng Fei had also stretched out his sharp blade. In case something under the water changes, they will fight immediately.
Xiao Yang came to the side of the ship and looked at the dark shadow under the water. The distance of the shadow from the water is more than 20 meters. Although Xiao Yang's eyesight is good, he can't penetrate the dark sea to see the appearance of the shadow clearly. He can only see that his body is round. In contrast, his head is very small and his neck is quite long.
"It is visually estimated that its length is about 12 meters. I think this should be a plesiosaur. We have indeed entered the waters of Sanna Island. Wang Hanren said beside Xiao Yang. She still has some research on paleontology.
Peng Fei came over and asked, "Is it a carnivore?"
"Hmm. Serpentine is a very fierce overlord in the water. Wang Hanren explained, "The snake-necked dragon usually makes a living by fishing, and can also hunt small aquatic animals. Even the pterosaurs that prey on the sea are sometimes poisoned by it. If we fall into the water, it will definitely be regarded as a good meal.
Xiao Yang frowned. Judging from the size of the snake-necked dragon, if it is fighting on land, its King Kong body can easily deal with the snake-necked dragon. But if you fight in the water, it will be completely different. Even if the diamond body faces Serpent, it has only 50% chance of winning at most. No one in the team is good at water warfare. If you really fight, it will be troublesome.
"It was probably curious because it hadn't seen our ship just now, so it came and bumped into us. As long as it doesn't startle, there should be no problem. Wang Hanren speculated.
Xiao Yang nodded and pressed the intercom button: "Luo Ruzhi, tell Jill to stop the ship for the time being."
The plesiosaur approached the transport ship because of curiosity. As long as the transport ship stops moving, it is similar to a driftwood for the plesiosaur. The snake-necked dragon will not be interested in a piece of wood and will naturally leave.
However, the boat did not stop after a whole minute. When Xiao Yang was strange, Luo Ruzhi's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Captain, Jill wants to talk to you."
"... tell her to say it quickly!"
After a few seconds, Jill's voice came: "What is the monster under our boat?"
"...That's plesiosaurs, a kind of carnivorous dinosaur living in the sea." Xiao Yang said truthfully. Anyway, when you go to Sanna Island, you will see a lot of dinosaurs, and it doesn't make sense to hide it from her now.
"Dinosaur? Why do we encounter this kind of thing? Jill asked again.
"I don't know." Xiao Yang suppressed his anger and said, "Anyway, you stop the boat now. If we keep getting off the boat, we will be in trouble."
"Okay. I understand." Jill said.
The engine sound of the transport ship gradually decreased, and soon it could not be heard at all. The snake-necked dragon continued to swim forward. After swimming dozens of meters, it turned back and swam back to the bottom of the boat. It has been swimming around under the boat and doesn't seem to have the intention of leaving.
After five or six circles, the snake-necked dragon suddenly stopped and began to float up!
"Wang Hanren, do you know what this beast wants to do?" Xiao Yang asked urgently.
Before Wang Hanren answered, he only heard a click, as if something had hit the bottom of the ship. The collision was not as fierce as before, and the hull only shook slightly. Xiao Yang just stabilized his body, but heard an extremely sad scream from the water. The sound was like rubbing the frosty glass with a grinding wheel, which made Xiao Yang get goose bumps all over.
Xiao Yang covered his ears: "Da Damn it! What is this sound?
"Sound?" Wang Hanren and Peng Fei looked at each other in con'ssment, "I didn't hear anything."
"You didn't hear such a horrible voice?" Xiao Yang suddenly realized when he said this, "I understand. It's ultrasound!"
Xiao Yang has an elf physique and extremely keen hearing. The frequency range of receiving sounds is wider than that of ordinary people, and some ultrasonic and incisonic waves can be heard. At this time, an ultrasound came from the water, so Xiao Yang could hear it but the other two didn't hear it.
After the ultrasonic sound, the bottom of the ship was hit again, but the collision was lighter than before, only the sound of a click was heard, and the shaking of the hull was almost negligible. Another strange thing is that the sea level seems to be rising slowly, as if the ship is sinking.
Luo Ruzhi's voice suddenly sounded: "Captain, it shows that the cabin is leaking!"
Xiao Yang quickly took Wang Hanren to the cabin and let Peng Fei stay on the deck.
When the two of them rushed to the cabin, they found that there was about ten centimeters of water in it. Wang Hanren said in horror, "I know! It turned out that the snake-necked dragon was not hitting the ship, but biting the steel plate at the bottom of the boat with its teeth!"
Wang Hanren is right. Carefully, the click sound is more like the sound of the snake-necked dragon biting the steel plate with its teeth. As for the ultrasound, it was probably the howling after the teeth of the snake-necked dragon were broken. As for why it howls with ultrasound, no one knows.
At this time, the speed of water seepage from the bottom of the ship accelerated sharply, and obviously the plesiosaur bit a new opening on the steel plate. Xiao Yang and Wang Hanren stepped into the water and began to look for a leaking place. At this time, Luo Ruzhi's voice came from the intercom horn: "The ship sank faster. Are we still standing still?"
Xiao Yang glanced at the enemy's radar, but there was still no light spot on it. This means that the underwater Serpenan attacks only the ship that makes it unhappy, not the people above it.
There is more and more water in the boat. Even Peng Fei, who is listening to their communication on the deck, suggested sailing first and find a way to get rid of the plesiosaurs before making plans. Xiao Yang pondered for about half a minute, and then made a decision: "Continue to maintain the status quo and don't disturb the snake-necked dragon. I'll take care of the water in the cabin.
After saying that, Xiao Yang used the beast body skill, and four miniature dragon heads appeared on his limbs at the same time. He half-volted down and drove the four violent faucets to begin to absorb water. Although the seawater is rapidly pouring into the cabin, the water absorption rate of the storm faucet is faster, and it can be clearly seen that the water in the cabin is decreasing.
The sound of the snake-necked dragon biting the steel plate continued to sound, but Xiao Yang did not waver. He continued to drive the storm faucet to absorb water, while looking for the leaking part of the bottom of the boat through the touch of the water flow.
