Chapter 249 Becky
The rising sun reveals a small corner, reflecting the morning glow. It is like steel water that has just poured out of the blast furnace, which makes people dare not open their eyes and look directly. After a while, the red sun rose and shone on the sea!
Zhou Xirui opened his arms in the direction of the rising sun and took a deep breath: "Another brand-new day! Yueming, how many days will we have to go to San Diego?"
Zhong Yueming also looked at the rising sun and said, "At the current speed, it will arrive in two days."
"Let's eat dates this morning!" Xiaopei struggled to drag a bunch of dates, and Dimo immediately rushed up to pick up a bunch of dates and ate them. It seemed that his taste still maintained his hobby as a monkey. He liked fruit more than he liked to eat staple foods such as rice noodles.
"Ga!" A group of thieves gulls dive down, and one of the dates in Dimo's hand fell on the glass cover and ate it, while others rushed down to the dates in Xiaopei's hand.
"Go away, go away, you robbers!" Xiaopei drove away these predators with disgust.
Dimo was so angry that he jumped on Azo's shoulder and shouted, "Azo, shoot these guys down."
A Cuo took out the bamboo stick in his pocket and toss the thief's gull. He only heard the bamboo stick shoot into the thief's eyes with a strong wind. Several of them fell down. The others didn't look good and fled one after another.
Dimo jumped over and picked it up with a smile: "Haha, let's eat roasted gull this morning. I'll go down and clean it up. Xiao Rui will bake it later. I don't taste good."
Zhou Xirui nodded, and the sky suddenly began to darken. Looking up, the morning sun was still hanging on the sea level, but the sea nearby began to fog. Such a scene had never been seen before, and it looked very strange.
The fog kept rising from the sea and getting stronger, until the scene of the sky could no longer be seen. Only a hundred seabirds disappeared, the surroundings became extremely quiet, and even the sea became calm.
There is fog all around, and it is difficult to distinguish between southeast and northwest. Even if there is still dozens of meters of visibility in the fog, there is only such a visible range at sea, which is not much the same as opening eyes.
Suddenly I heard Xiaopei shouting, "Look over there... There is a huge ship!"
Everyone heard her shout and looked to the right. Sure enough, a huge ship appeared on the white misty sea. This ship should be a 10,000-ton ship, eating *, which seemed to carry a lot of goods. The smoke on it showed that this should be an ancient ship powered by a steam engine.
"Modern ships use turbine engines. In the old days, ships used this kind of steam to push external open paddles. This ship is too strange, unless it is a ghost ship," Zhong Yueming said.
"Ghost ship!" This shocked several people and couldn't take their eyes off the giant ship that appeared in the thick fog. The windows of the cabin above were dark, which made people feel that there seemed to be countless demons hidden in it, and several people felt that their feet were a little weak.
"Don't worry, there is a light in the bow of the ship. There should be someone." Atso pointed to the bow. Because it suddenly appeared in the fog, when everyone saw the light, it was already very close, but if there was someone, why didn't there be any other lights on the ship?
There may be at most a few seconds. Before everyone came to your senses, a huge steam ship has appeared silently from the fog. There is no light on the ship except the light from the bow cab, and there is no human figure in the bow of the ship. There was no movement in it, and the doors and windows were tightly closed.
"Becky? Is this the Becky?" Zhong Yueming looked at the mark printed on the ship in surprise.
"Becky? What's the matter?" Liu Peng asked curiously when he saw that Zhong Yueming was so surprised.
Zhong Yueming frowned and said, "This ship belongs to the Hudson Company. Since the beginning of the 20th century, this ship has been transporting fur products in the Pacific Ocean as a merchant ship. But in 1931, the Becky disappeared after being hit by the tsunami, and the company believes that the ship sank.
But surprisingly, in the following 38 years, instead of sinking, the ship was able to float alone on the sea, as if there was any force protecting it all the time. Often ships could meet it at sea, which also brought back rumors about it.
The ship has become a myth that people who often sail on the Pacific Ocean will see the ship swinging aimlessly. People tried to board several times, but always failed because of the weather. The ship disappeared when the Becky last appeared in people's sight in 1969. Some people say that the ship has sunk, while others have advocated looking for the 80-year-old ghost ship in recent years.
I didn't expect us to meet this ghost ship here, I'm afraid it's not a good omen!"
