Chapter 367 Night Flight (2000 revision)

At night, it started to rain lightly in Return Home Port.

The fish lantern ripples slightly in the wind. The light passes through the thin skin and is reflected on the undulating water. It looks like a school of luminous fish swimming back and forth. Every night, I observe the daily life on the shore.

Rumble…

The port is a little different tonight.

Under the dazzling spotlight, the continuous sound of the forklift was heard, and the crates wrapped in bubble bags were slowly lifted from the ground, turned around and sent into the warehouse.

"What are these things?"

Two figures walked together, and one person asked curiously: "Weren't the necessary supplies already replenished before setting sail? Why are there so many?"

"It should be a temporary addition of equipment."

Another person replied: "After all, no one would have thought that the mutation would begin with death."

"You two!"

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded. A man wearing a white sailor's shirt came from a distance and asked repeatedly: "Who are you? Why are you wearing our sailor's uniform?"

After looking at the epaulettes on the two bars under the other's anchor, the two people who were still communicating stopped and said with enthusiasm: "Second mate?"

"You don't remember me? That's how noble people forget things. Without your help before, I can't imagine how bad these days of sailing would be due to seasickness."

The voice seemed to contain unknown magic power, which immediately made the aggressive second officer freeze in place.

In the dark, a memory that seemed to be real gradually emerged from his mind, and then was given the image of the two.

"You...are you really from our ship?"

He hesitated.

"certainly."

Gao Yi smiled back, turned to look at Ah Shen beside him, and lowered his voice: "Now there are two routes that we need to decide: one is to enter the deck team and confirm the navigation conditions and nearby dangers. The other is to blend in

The scientific research team follows up on the experimental personnel’s research results on the ocean.”

"Which one do you choose?"

Ah Shen hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "Following up research or something doesn't seem to be suitable for me... I'd better choose one."

"Then I'll choose second."

Gao Yi looked at the second officer and pointed at the white coat that had transformed on his body: "Sorry, actually I am a scientific researcher on the ship, and this is your seaman."

"Remember? It has followed you before. This is known to all. As a newcomer who has been in this industry for a short time, there is still a lot to learn, right?"

The young-looking Ah Shen was pushed out and smiled politely at the second officer.

"Yeah?"

The second officer looked at Ah Shen for a few times and felt that something was a bit inconsistent. However, he couldn't find anything that was inconsistent with him, so he had to turn around and leave: "Forget it."

"If you are all right, hurry back to your posts. The Sky Eye will be setting off soon."

"Departure?"

Trainee sailor Ah Shen looked at the second mate's leaving figure and murmured to himself: "This is much earlier than expected..."

Gao Yi turned his back and connected to a newly established communication channel.

"Descartes, can you hear me?"

A few kilometers away, in a hotel room, Xiao Di stood in front of the window, looking at the hazy harbor lights in the rain, and replied: "Everything is normal, Mr. Gao."

"The signal I sent is enough to maintain your communication network within 20 nautical miles. I will continue to observe the follow-up situation in Dongbin Bay and provide ground support."

"very good."

Gao Yi stepped on the ship's ladder and boarded the deck of the Sky Eye step by step. Looking up, there was only a dark ocean in front of him. The sloping raindrops fell from the sky, accompanied by the fierce sea wind, which made people unable to open their eyes.

Open your eyes.

"Get started."



Ship cab.

Ah Shen maintained the demeanor expected of a newcomer and followed the second officer in step by step.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw several people in charge with different fields, different divisions of labor and different functions surrounding the writing desk, discussing about Dongbin Bay.

"During the anchorage, Professor Lu visited fishermen and monitored the surrounding waters and determined that marine life with death characteristics increased significantly in the southeast."

"The largest number of them are herring, yellow croaker, mackerel and other fish that are widely distributed in offshore areas. Most of the impacts on the Dongbin Bay area are likely to come from them."

"Another problem."

An old man who looked equally old was thinking: "...if these offshore fish really affect the ecology of Dongbin Bay, then who is affecting them?"

The others were silent.

"This problem... I'm afraid we can only see clues when we delve deeper."

The person in charge of the Executive Board moved his eyes slightly and speculated: "If the so-called 'death' can be transmitted through the simplest contact as we have judged, then what kind of changes will happen to the ocean ecology?"

"Is it possible that it will cause deathly silence in an area of ​​​​the sea?"

"impossible."

Another expert in a different field objected: "How powerful is the vitality of the ocean? If this energy can really turn an area of ​​​​the sea into death under the premise of loss."

"Not to mention Kyushu...Lavan, Lighthouse, Dan Island, Gaoli, Nigo, Solomon Islands and even the world, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape its poison."

"But what now? There is only one Dongbin Bay in the entire Kyushu. This undoubtedly sends a signal that implies the magnitude of the situation, indicating that the current situation is still within our control..."

Amid the discussion, Ah Shen saw that the captain and first mate had planned a route, and the entire Sky Eye began to move toward the southeast according to the planned route.

Huhu——

On the deck, the sea breeze mixed with the slightest raindrops came straight.

In the dark world, only the shadowy light on the water at the stern of the ship remained.

That is the light of Dongbin Bay, and it is also the last afterglow of order and humanity. After this farewell, it means that human beings have completely entered unknown territory and will fight against the eternal laws of the ocean.

"It's time to go see my new colleagues."

Gao Yi turned his back and left from the deck.

Now he is a "scientific researcher", and his working place is naturally no longer the equipment warehouse and workshop where most of the crew members are, but in the middle of the Sky Eye, in a medium-sized biological laboratory.

Several decks were connected by a staircase. Gao Yi just turned a few turns and arrived in front of the well-lit laboratory.

Through the wide open safety door, he could see a dozen scientific researchers wearing protective clothing gathered together, seemingly talking about something, and no one even noticed his arrival.

Gao Yi didn't say anything and just looked around by himself.

"Um?"

After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and looked at a tray curiously. He saw a crab on it. Its carapace had been lifted off, revealing the white tissue structure inside. Along with it, there was a smell of crabs.

Pungent odor.

"Is this a study of 'death'?"

With [The Fool] approaching, Gao Yi ignored the remaining "death" on the corpse and stretched out his hand towards it.

"What do you want to do?"

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.

Gao Yi looked at the hand that firmly controlled him and slowly raised his eyes.
