"Hey, it's me, Leo."

The sound of turning pages of paper sounded, and the screen gradually gained color. At dusk, the phone placed on the shoe cabinet in the entrance was answered. One hand picked up the phone, and the golden sunlight left a faint spot on the magazine. Outside the door, children were They ran wildly in the yard, and although the laughter was cut down by the closed doors and windows, Leo could still hear the lively laughter of the children.

"Leo, I want to talk to you in detail about a new job."

Leo's face was not directly in the mirror, but a close-up of Tina's face, who had just come out of the kitchen with a turkey in her hand. The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and her emotions were a bit mixed. The camera began to move, showing Tina's face. Angle of view, looking at Leo who was standing at the door making a phone call.

He seemed to notice someone behind him, turned his head, half of his face was hidden from the sun, and was in the shadow. Seeing her holding a baking sheet in both hands, he took two steps forward and opened the door.

In an instant, children's laughter, adults' chats, and comfortable country music, accompanied by the breeze, blew into the room. The books on the shoe cabinet were blown, and the pages turned quickly, making a clattering sound until they were inside. Aozhen pressed it down and pressed a bunch of keys on the book.

His fiancée was looking at him, which gave Leo a headache. He rubbed his forehead with his index and middle fingers. Seeing that Tina still hadn't walked out of the door, the conversation on the phone weakened a bit unconsciously.

"Please Paul, I have only become a father not long ago. My daughter's first birthday will be on the 14th next month. Then I have to prepare for my wedding with Tina. I'm sorry, I really don't have time."

"I know, and I'm sorry, but we really need your help. I promise you that the working time will be one month. Regardless of whether the task is completed or not, we will return by then. I guarantee that we will be able to make it on the 14th next month. By then I will I’ll also attend Kara’s birthday party, okay?”

"You're giving me a hard time and my family needs me right now."

"Yes, I'm sorry, but the other party is National Geographic and is willing to pay us a weekly salary of 20,000 yuan. How about you come back with 80,000 yuan next month and give Tina a big diamond ring?"

A diamond ring?…

He took the key away from the magazine and opened it gently. A pair of brown-pupil eyes were staring at the page of the magazine in trance. His head turned away again. Tina was still standing there. After their eyes met, Leo shifted his gaze again.

"What exactly are you looking for?"

"That northern blue whale."

"You are joking?"

Just last week, a fishing boat discovered a huge northern blue whale near the Gulf of Mexico in the North Atlantic. According to video conditions, it is estimated that the size of this northern blue whale is over 32 meters.

As one of the subspecies of blue whale, the northern blue whale is slightly smaller than other subspecies. The adult male northern blue whale is about 25 meters in length, and the adult female northern blue whale is about 23 meters in length. Around 27 meters to 30 meters in length is considered a reasonable range. Of course, as age increases, the body size will continue to increase.

The monster in the video is conservatively estimated to be over thirty-two meters tall. God knows how many years it has lived and how much it has eaten. If it is actually found and measured to confirm its length, then this northern blue whale will be the longest it has ever been. To date, it is the largest subspecies of North Atlantic blue whale discovered by humans.

Once the video was released, it caused a sensation in the industry. At first, some people questioned the authenticity of the video, but after testing, it was found that the video was indeed not fake. As a relatively unknown oceanographic scholar, he naturally heard about it.

Furthermore, if its size exceeds 33 meters, it will break the maximum growth limit of a blue whale known to mankind. For such a creature of scientific value, scholars will naturally organize teams to search for and investigate it.

This is not surprising. What puzzles him is that National Geographic actually wants to use a month to pull that guy out of the Atlantic Ocean. It is not realistic no matter how you look at it.

"It's not that we want to find it in a month, but it only gives us nearly a month to find it. It is currently following a group of people, its range of activities is relatively fixed, and it has not strayed out of our observation range. But the bad news is that the weather station predicts that a cold air stream will arrive in the North Atlantic next month. By then, the temperature may be as low as ten degrees. You know they don’t like the cold. If they really go out of the circle by then, we will think about it again. It’s harder to find it.”

"But it's still difficult."

"That's what they should consider. If they find it, they have to pay us a bonus. If they can't find it, they have to give me my salary. One month, just one month, at least 80,000 yuan."

As a father and a man who is about to get married to his fiancée, he is currently in a financial straits, so he was impressed by this generous remuneration and gradually had ideas in his mind, even though he was reluctant to work with the professional team working at National Geographic. Coming and going.

Those people have rich funds, a professional team, and many great people. These are all advantages, but their attitude towards temporary workers like Leo is not friendly, and they have a sense of superiority.

They hire pick-and-choose scholars like Leo just to give those big names a leg up and spread their thoughts. By the way, when the big bulls are recording the documentary, they act as a professional clown and throw out all kinds of remarks against the big bulls’ predictions. , then sit back and wait to be slapped in the face, improve the entertainment, and can be sold to the TV station for a good price.

Of course, the premise is that your negative remarks must be reasonable and professional. This is not just an ordinary slap in the face, but a very intense discussion in the eyes of the outside world.

Leo doesn't want to be a clown, but for ordinary scholars like him who only serve in schools and have no professional team to appreciate and absorb them, this is their way of survival.

Behind his back, Tina was still watching him, which made it difficult for him to agree to Paul directly without making this decision after discussing it with his fiancée.

"I'll think about it and give you an answer tomorrow at the latest."

"Well, you have to hurry up, we will set off in four days."

"Can."

This is a very hasty time. Of course, this is for Leo alone. The team must have been fully prepared, and he is the only time left to passively accept this regulation.

After hanging up the phone, the room became quiet. He looked at Tina with some anxiety, crossed his fingers and rubbed them, looked at her calm eyes, and pointed out the window.

"They must not be able to wait any longer. Let's get out."

"Leo."

"Um?"

She looked very calm, with no anger or sadness in her eyes. She just looked at him quietly, holding the plate of turkey that was roasted until red and appetizing.

"Is it okay not to go this time? Lucy will be one year old soon, and she will be able to call you daddy soon. I don't want you to leave at this time, and I think you don't want this either."

"I know, but you have to believe me, baby, it's only one month, I won't stay for more than a day."

"Are you impressed by the salary they offer?"

"I don't deny it. After all, my family really needs money now, and I think this wedding dress is really suitable for you."

He picked up the magazine, and on the page he opened was an expensive-looking wedding dress. The price tag below confirmed Tina's suspicion, yes, it was indeed expensive.

"If it's because of the wedding dress, I think you should stay. I don't need such ostentatious decorations. What I need is that Lucy's father can stay with me and the child."

The two of them did not argue. They calmly analyzed what this job could bring. It was true that she was moved, but at this point in time, it was also true that she urgently needed a sense of security.

Her words made Leo hesitate for a long time. He leaned against the shoe cabinet and rolled the magazine into a cylindrical shape in his hand. He was lost in thought, brainstorming in his mind, weighing the pros and cons of this job. In the end, he was short of savings. Unable to resist the temptation of a high salary, 80,000 yuan a month, he wanted to give it a try.

Finally, he spoke, and Tina also got a result that made her a little disappointed, although she would not get angry with Leo because of this, because he set off before the child's birthday and wedding just for this family.

"I'll be back on time in a month, with the wedding dress, and if you can, make sure you give me a call when Lucy can talk."

With a quick montage of editing, organizing tools, packing books, putting on a change of clothes, and putting on a military green backpack, the Foley artist has a strong lineup, and the sounds produced by the series of actions are very clean and neat, without affecting the audience's perception. , achieving the most comfortable effect on all sounds.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of his family, he wore a green fisherman's hat, a multi-pocket fishing vest, and fitted overalls and Martin boots. He looked very well-proportioned.

He took off his sunglasses and hugged his family goodbye. Tina did not show any extreme emotions, because during the many years of love with Leo, the two had been together less and more apart. Now that he is leaving again, he is also Logically, all she could do was take care of the child while Leo was working and not let him worry.

Looking at the child in Tina's arms, he stretched out his index finger and was held by the baby's little hand. Feeling the temperature of his child, he grinned lightly with the corners of his mouth downwards. It could be seen that he was reluctant to let go and kissed him gently. Tina.

"wait me back."

"be safe."

There was very little communication, but it was enough. Neither party wanted to make a short separation so sad. After all, they could meet again in a month.

After being greeted by his family, he put his backpack in the back of the car. Paul sat in the driver's seat and chewed gum. He did not dare to get out of the car to see the child. After all, he was not sure whether Tina would blame him.

With a final wave and everyone saying goodbye, the Wrangler started slowly, the wheels began to rotate, and soon disappeared from the sight of Leo's family.

"Gentlemen, the voyage is about to reach its end and I am about to descend. I wish you good luck!"

The roar of the helicopter covered up the roar of the pilot. Under the downdraft, even with a hat string on his chin, the hat would be easily blown off by the wind. But compared to Paul's embarrassment, his image is still good, at least he With a hat, your hair won't stand up.

Because of time constraints, the National Geographic research ship had sailed out of the port yesterday and began searching for targets at a speed of ten knots per hour. Leo and the others needed to rely on a helicopter to board the ship. They carried their bags and held their hats with their right hands. Following Paul, the two of them got off the plane with their waist down and gave the pilot a thumbs up. After they were completely out of the propeller range, the wind picked up again and the helicopter prepared to return.

"Field" has a total tonnage of about 3,000 tons, a displacement of 3,500 tons, a length of about 90 meters, a width of 16 meters, and a draft of 5 meters. It is equipped with a large number of cutting-edge equipment, such as scientific research fish finders and multi-beam detection System, shallow stratigraphic profiler, CTD temperature and salt profiler, etc., the endurance can reach 15,000 nautical miles, it is really a powerful guy."

Leo looked at the hull of the ship, and Paul was explaining it to him. It was obvious that Paul was very satisfied with the ship. It had a beautiful appearance, high-end equipment, and new and clean rooms. It was undoubtedly the most comfortable to work on this kind of ship.

The two were chatting when a man dressed somewhat similar to Leo came out. Paul saw this and hurriedly greeted him. After shaking hands, they also introduced Leo to this man. He was the subject of this scientific research project. Evans, the team leader, did not show the arrogance of a National Geographic employee, and his attitude was quite good. He invited the two people into the cabin, took out the contract and signed it with them. From this moment on, both parties A and B have A contract of cooperation was reached.

This is not something that Leo is very familiar with, because although he has done a lot of scientific expeditions, most of them were taking students between the bays and islands, following large professional newspapers like National Geographic to the deep sea, and even The possibility of sailing off the route and entering uninhabited waters has only happened a few times in the nearly twenty years he has been engaged in oceanography, and he does not have much rich experience.

Of course, this is why National Geographic was willing to hire Leo.

After that, the two Leos left the room and took the initiative to get acquainted with the captain, first mate and other ship controllers, but did not see other members of the scientific expedition team until a sailor was about to take them to their bedroom. Just as they were passing by the deck, Suddenly, when they heard someone shouting, the two of them stopped quickly.

"It's a whale!"

The photographer carried the machine and ran wildly to the fence, pointing at the huge figure that was about to surface, and quickly took pictures. Then a group of members of the scientific expedition team appeared out of nowhere, and not long after, they were all on the deck. Gather together.

Whales will come up to the surface to take a breath every ten minutes or so. Of course, the length of time they take to take a breath will be slightly different depending on the species of whale, but they are generally the same, so it is not a rare sight to see a whale taking a breath after going out to sea. , everyone is a practitioner of oceanography, so it is not unusual to see this kind of scene, but this time the target is a whale, which makes people excited.

But when this whale just exposed a small part, everyone was already disappointed. This was not the blue whale, not even a blue whale, but the natural enemy of the blue whale, the killer whale.

It emerged from the deep blue seabed and sprayed out a stream of water several meters high. Water droplets even sprayed onto Leo's body, forming a perfect rainbow in the sunlight.

With a long and lonely cry, it jumped out of the sea level, revealing its white belly, causing waves, and even the boat swayed slightly. At this time, no one regretted that it was not the target everyone was looking for, because Every time you see a whale jumping into the water, it is a beautiful scene worth cherishing in your memory. It is a treasure of nature. If you can see it, you are extremely lucky. What more can they ask for?

Perhaps, it is precisely because at a certain point in time, they witnessed this beautiful scenery, felt the shock in their hearts, and their hearts were moved, so that they changed their dreams, so some people are willing to endure loneliness, dare to die, and go with these oceans. The slightly mysterious animals have close contact and dedicate their lives to the ocean.

"I've seen whales breathe a lot, and every time I'm blown away."

"Who says it isn't?"

Paul handed over the chewing gum, which was only half a piece. Leo didn't mind it and put it directly into his mouth to chew. The two of them leaned against the fence and looked at the sea that was gradually returning to calm. They were lost in thought for a while.

Only the captain and crew continued to work. Compared with the scientific expedition team, they seemed to lack a pair of eyes to appreciate beauty. Perhaps it was because they had seen so many such scenery that it was no longer unusual now, or perhaps they had been wandering at sea all year round. , polishing off their appreciation and love for fish.

Not far away, the camera captured a white man who was about fifty years old. He had long blond hair draped over his shoulders. He had a very strong figure, but he was not bloated like a fat man, and his skin was tanned. A little red, holding a water glass with his back to the sea, looking at the camera and talking.

"Is it Professor Royce?"

The two quickly recognized the person, Giles Roanes, a professor of marine science at the University of Oxford and a giant in the industry. He has been engaged in marine work for more than 30 years and has published many papers that have caused a stir in the industry. Leo also took Professor Rons's class when he was in school.

The two of them did not rush forward to say hello. They stood still and listened quietly to Professor Roynes's evaluation of the killer whale that had just ventilated. His voice was very clear and was not disturbed by the sound of the ship's hull breaking through the waves.

"What is a whale? Sorry, I can't explain it in any way. Even if I can call it in English, Spanish, Latin, or even Chinese, but if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you really can't." Experience firsthand what kind of creature it is.”

"As you just saw, they are treasures of the deep sea, wonders of nature, with the largest bodies in the world, and long enough lifespans. This is all I can explain to you. If you really feel about whales If you’re curious, then you might as well come and see it for yourself.”

After recording a few simple sentences, the camera paused filming. Professor Roynes took a sip of water. A middle-aged man who appeared to be a member of the scientific expedition team accompanied him, and the two walked towards Leo's direction.

Suddenly, Rons saw the two people standing by the fence, raised his eyebrows on the left, whispered into the ears of the scientific expedition team members, and whispered who they were. After getting the answer, he walked right next to Leo. .

"Zhang, there is also Griffin, right? Welcome."

Reigns was the first to reach out, his palm was very big and thick, and the palm was red, as if it had been smeared with chili powder. When Leo held it, it felt like he was being pressed against a hot iron, and the heat was amazing.

"Hello Professor Roynes, I once attended your public lectures in Oxford, and the knowledge you taught has had a profound impact on my career to this day."

It's not just a compliment for the sake of food, but also out of Leo's admiration for Reigns. As he said, Reigns really gave him a lot of praise in that open class more than ten years ago. Leo was greatly inspired and gave Leo the courage to fight the ocean.

"Really? Then we are really destined."

He smiled heartily. The man who was nearly sixty years old but looked less than fifty smiled and patted Leo on the shoulder. However, the smile quickly disappeared, and his face became serious again, and he looked directly inside. Ao's eyes whispered in Leo's ear with a small voice.

"Then I hope you can surprise me. During this time, come up with more professional things. I look forward to you being able to argue with me. That's it. I wish you good luck, Zhang, and Griffin."

"Have a nice life sir."

He left, no longer carrying the water glass, and poured half of the water directly into the sea. He did not forget to vigorously shake the water droplets still in the glass, nodded lightly to the two of them, and left with the subordinates of the scientific expedition team.

"He's giving us a chance."

"I know, but I think it's better if we don't show this face. Let's go and see our room."

Being able to analyze the situation with Professor Roynes in the documentary is undoubtedly a great thing for a less well-known scholar, but this is a double-edged sword. Once his analysis makes mistakes, his professionalism will be affected. If it is difficult to support, it will arouse criticism from countless colleagues. This kind of thing happens frequently. If we jointly analyze and debate, we have to see whether we are qualified.

He hugged Paul's shoulders, picked up the backpack placed on the deck again, nodded to the sailor, and followed the sailor into the rest area.

In the next ten days or so, they encountered many groups of whales, including whales of various species, and even photographed a very rare humpback whale, but the huge blue whale never showed up.

A week later, the Field began a large-scale search of the observation circle at a speed of fifteen knots per hour. On the tenth day, all the observation circles were searched, and the fish finder did not capture the slightest trace of the blue whale.

Thirteen days later, the scientific expedition team became anxious, because the meteorological observatory informed that at the beginning of next month, the cold air flow would land in the North Atlantic, causing severe thunderstorms and hurricanes of at least Category 10.

For safety reasons, they must return by then, otherwise hurricanes exceeding Category 10 at sea are no joke, and the risk factor is quite high.

What is certain at present is that the whale must have run out of the observation circle. If we are optimistic, it may not have run out of the route range, and passing ships may still be able to spot it. It is unlucky that it ran into uninhabited waters. , is the most terrible thing.

Everyone can only pray that it is a good child and is still playing in the flight path, otherwise, this expensive expedition will basically end in failure.

Seventeen days later, the scientific expedition team was having a meeting. The photographer looked at the nautical chart and yawned out of boredom. Suddenly the door was knocked open. A sailor with a face full of ecstasy, one foot Stand at the door and yell at everyone present.

"I just received a radio call from a container ship, southeast, more than 670 nautical miles away from us. I found it! The video was also received. There are scars on the forehead from being bitten by a killer whale. It is definitely it! That's right! !”

"Nice! Evans, check the route!"

"The outermost route!"

"Mr. Sailor, if we go at full speed, how long will it take us to reach the location?"

"Full speed can be increased to thirty-seven knots per hour, which is about sixty-six nautical miles per hour. It is expected to reach the target location in ten hours."

"Very good! Then take action quickly!"

Ten minutes later, the Field began to move at full speed, and the scientific expedition team also began to make plans. Based on the blue whale's average moving speed and direction of swimming, they calculated where the whale would probably swim when they arrived at their destination. Place to go.

At the same time, Leo and the others also saw the video taken by the crew on the freighter. This video was more intuitive than the previous video because this time it was only more than ten meters away from the ship when it was ventilating. The huge The body emerged from the water and was almost one-third as long as the freighter, equivalent to a height of more than ten stories. Such a shocking figure made Leo secretly swallow his saliva.

When the ship arrived at the destination, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, nearly an hour later than expected. The fish finder was turned on, and the sonar began high-intensity detection, but within the extreme distance, there was still no sound from it.

This is not beyond everyone's expectations, because a large number of krill and fish for whales have not been detected in this area. In order to fill its stomach, it will never stop here.

Then, according to the speculation of the scientific expedition team experts, everyone turned their attention to the southeast. In the distance, the sky was filled with stars, and the sea level within sight was still pitch black without any light.

The seawater slapped against the hull of the ship, making a loud splashing sound, which was constantly stimulating all the nerves on the Field and arousing the deepest fears of mankind. Ahead was the deep sea, an uninhabited sea.

The unknown is the source of human fear. In the uninhabited sea, there will be no ships passing by, no supplies, and no rescue. Going here is equivalent to breaking away from human society. Only the people on the ship can form a small society and become this sea area. , the proof of human intelligence, and what they had to face were various unknown creatures and various unexplainable phenomena. All of this began to make Leo instinctively feel uneasy.

"Captain Glenn! Do you have enough fuel and supplies?"

"The supplies were just finished the day before yesterday, have you forgotten? It's enough for us to drive to the mainland in one go!"

"If we move forward at full speed, how long will it take to get back to land?"

"Nine days! Not even nine days!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go! While the storm and hurricane are still in the South Atlantic, let's go catch that monster back!"

This was the conversation between Rons and Glenn. The ship moved and ran towards the darkness. No, it should be said that at this moment, they had merged into the darkness.

It's a pity that after three days, they still didn't capture any trace of the whale. Rons started to get mad. He regarded the blue whale as an obsession, but reason told him to leave quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!

"Let's return."

Rons gave the order. Although he was unwilling to do so, it was the right choice. After saying these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Rons was a madman. At this moment, time is not equal to money. , equal to human life, not a second can be wasted.

But just after two hours of driving at full speed, Leo, who returned to the bedroom to rest, heard a loud bang from the bottom of the boat, followed by a violent shaking.

He was woken up and came out of the bedroom. He even forgot to put on his shoes. The same was true for Paul. In the cabin, everyone rushed towards the cab at high speed. They needed to know the situation because it was really scary.

"What happened Captain Glenn!"

"Wait a minute! The mechanics are investigating the situation, Smith! Smith? Please answer that? Damn it! Allen! Check the radio! I can't hear anything!"

"Captain! The radio has lost signal! It is temporarily unable to contact the outside world!"

The radio operator shouted in reply, constantly adjusting the frequency of the radio. Sweat poured out of his forehead and fell onto the keys, leaving traces of water on them with his trembling fingers.

"Captain, after checking, the engine... exploded six cylinders."

The mechanic ran up, panting violently, his chest kept rising and falling, and his sentence was divided into several paragraphs before he could express it completely. But this news made everyone feel that the sky was dark and the earth was dark for a while. The timid ones now sat down directly. On the ground, there was some collapse.

"Damn it, didn't I say that this generation of engines is very powerful? How come everything can happen to me? Allen! What's the situation over there?"

"I don't know, even the satellite phone can't make calls."

The captain was complaining and swearing non-stop. He had never experienced engine failure several times in his life. As a result, six cylinders exploded at this juncture. Such a big problem could be fatal, but he soon calmed down. After coming down, he gave instructions to others and comforted the scientific expedition team members.

"Close those six cylinders and try to continue running the other cylinders. Turn down the power and adjust to a speed of five knots. Allen continues to debug the radio. We may be on a certain metal vein. The signal is completely blocked. The explosion This may be the reason for the tank. Just wait until this vein is found, first mate! Calculate how far we are from the route. It doesn't matter. As long as we can be rescued within nine days, this heavy rain will only catch up with us. From behind, watch us go ashore! Nothing will happen to us. Don’t worry, everyone, I will send you back to your wives intact. Now you can go back and rest. The rest! Crazy boys! We are looking forward to it. The long battle is coming!”

Captain Glenn was roaring to soothe people's hearts. The crew's faces turned red as they roared. They rose up and challenged the coming storm. At this moment, no sailor surrendered. The scientific expedition team members, however, could not help much. They could only go back to the lounge and pray that they could go home safely.

Five minutes later, the Field started again, heading home at a slow speed. Everyone began to cheer, even though its speed was less than half of its full speed. Perhaps the uninhabited sea that it had traveled through for three days now required It will take seven or eight days to return, but speed is no longer important. As long as the ship can still sail, everyone has hope in their hearts.

Seven days later…

Leo could already see the dark clouds in the distance. In fact, it had appeared in everyone's sight since yesterday evening, and it was getting closer and closer, and it gradually caught up with the target.

The radio still failed, the cylinder was still stable, and they were still escaping from the heavy rain at an unhurried speed. At this moment, the wind and waves had become bigger, and the waves were not as high as ten thousand feet, but they could occasionally hit the ship above the red line. Parts, decks, always carry water stains.

A large number of seagulls flew low over the water, occasionally staying on the fence, leaving scattered dead fish body parts that had not been swallowed completely on the deck. Then, under the envious eyes of everyone, they spread their wings and flew away from the danger quickly.

"6454-1321-54216"

He made a call, even though there was no signal at all on the phone, the result every time was that he could not make a call. From the few days after the explosion, he would often think of Tina's original retention. He regretted it a little, but many times He said he had no intention of doing so, so he could only try to make the call over and over again, imagining whether his daughter would be able to call her daddy.

"Leo..."

"Um?"

Paul walked into his bedroom and sat on the sofa opposite him. His expression was a little gloomy. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it shakily.

"Dead people."

"who?"

"Martin, from the diving team."

"How did you die?"

"Suicide."

"how come……"

"Who knows, those who play diving are not as brave as those of us who don't go into the water. How about one?"

He had quit smoking since Tina became pregnant, but now he was pretending not to be nervous. He picked up one and put it in his mouth. Before he could light it, the lights on the ceiling began to flicker rapidly, becoming brighter and darker. , like the voltage is unstable, or even haunted.

"What's wrong with this!"

The hull began to shake violently. It can be seen how big the wind and waves outside were. Maybe... the waves had already hit the deck. Paul cursed angrily, but still sat on the stool obediently and handed the lighter to Li. profound.

The lights were completely dark, the room was no longer bright and turned pitch black. Leo lit and turned on the lighter. This little light illuminated the uneasy faces of the two people.

There were cries outside the door. Maybe everyone felt that they were going to be doomed. Although a hurricane would not necessarily cause the ship to sink. After all, the probability was very small, but all the difficulties of going to sea this time were all on the chest. As a result, no one will doubt that they are about to face the tragic experience of being shipwrecked and buried in the ocean.

But then, the lights suddenly brightened, followed by cheers, and sailors ran wildly in the corridor, shouting: "The radio is working! We have received rescue! In four hours! A ship will arrive Pick us up!”

This was definitely the most exciting news Leo had ever heard in his life. He and Paul stood up at the same time, opened the door, looked at the sailor who was about to run towards him, and shouted excitedly.

"Really!"

"Really! A cargo ship is coming towards us! They are coming to pick me up..."

"Boom!"

There was another loud noise, so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, but it was louder than the same loud noise last time. In an instant, Leo realized something terrible.

This time...the engine should have completely exploded.

The violent vibration directly threw Leo to the ground. For a moment, Leo felt that his eyes were a little black and his vision began to become blurred. Paul was pressing on him, which made it even more difficult for Leo to breathe, but this was all It was a small problem, but the sailor was not so lucky. The huge vibration and the slap of the huge waves made him fly up, and he smashed into the iron pipe next to Leo.

Blood covered Leo and Paul's faces. In the corridor, red warning lights flashed together. Thick smoke floated in the cabin, with the unpleasant smell of burnt tires. It was disgusting. The two of them rolled and crawled. And screamed so loudly that even Hun'er was scared away.

"Stop screaming! Run! It's going to be on fire!"

Someone grabbed Leo and Paul by their collars, pulled them up, and ran towards the deck desperately. The voice sounded like Professor Royce, but at the moment Leo and Paul had no time to confirm.

It wasn't until he ran to the deck that Leo was sure that it was indeed Professor Roynes, but the faces of the three of them were so dark that if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell.

The waves surged wildly, and the ship's hull began to shake violently. Everyone could only lie down on the deck, trying to find a balance so as not to be thrown into the sea.

At the same time, people kept running out of the cabin. After coughing violently, they imitated the three Leos and lay on the deck without daring to move.

"Stop lying down and pretending to be dead! Get the lifeboat and go into the sea quickly!"

"What a fart sea! The waves are so big! If you go down, you will disappear immediately!"

"That's better than waiting to be burned to death on the deck, or waiting to be drowned in the water! The boat leaked! There are twelve tanks left! They all fucking exploded! A big hole was blown out of the bottom of the boat! It won't take ten minutes The ship just fucking sank!”

"I can't stand firmly! How can I let go!"

"Alan! Bring the fire hose! Tie it to your waist! There are enough lifeboats! Don't worry, everyone! You can run! Hurry up! Otherwise, the air pressure valve will explode after a while! Let's meet Jesus together then!"

Not long after, the fire hoses and the ropes on the mast were removed. The strong diving team first stepped forward to release the lifeboat. After they were seated, they threw the rope back to the second person.

Soon, the rope was thrown in front of Leo. He picked it up, tied it around his waist, and prepared to run to the lifeboat in one breath. But halfway, what greeted him was the biggest wave so far.

"Leo!"

He was knocked straight up and hit the fence. There was a sharp pain, but he could only bear the pain and get up. Before the waves came, he successfully got into the kayak and put on the life jacket.

"You scared me to death! If something happens to you, how do you want me to explain to Tina!"

"Don't worry about it. You already have 10,000 yuan, and you still think about how to explain it? Maybe this time we both will give it to you!"

"Say something nice!"

"I wish you a happy fucking birthday!"

Six people in a boat, a total of sixteen lifeboats, were lowered on the water. As the waves gradually moved away from the Field, a drop of rain hit their heads. Leo looked up and saw that at this moment, dark clouds had fallen over their heads.

Flames began to burn on the ship. The raging fire exploded one piece of glass after another. The tongues of fire stuck out from the window and grinned at the people drifting in the wind and rain. Then, there was a violent explosion. Just as everyone had guessed, the air pressure valve It exploded, and for a moment, there was only a buzzing in everyone's ears.

He held the handrail tightly, and kept taking advantage of the gaps in the waves to splash seawater out of the kayak. The huge waves one after another not only made it difficult to breathe, but even made him dizzy.

"careful!"

In Leo's kayak, a person was knocked unconscious. The kayak followed the huge waves and rose into the sky, then fell to the sea level again. The person was thrown away directly, and Leo watched him with his own eyes. He fell into the water and disappeared.

One after another people were buried in the sea like this, which was a great fear to all living people. They did not dare to look at it, so they could only close their eyes tightly and pretend to be deaf and dumb under the lightning and thunder.

Soon, there were less than three kayaks left, but the storm was far from stopping.

"Woo..."

"what sound?"

He began to wonder. The sound was too familiar, like... the cry of some kind of animal. His brain began to work rapidly, and then he suddenly thought of something.

"whale!!!!"

His heartbreaking scream was covered up by the crazy ocean. He opened his eyes and looked down at the bottom of the sea. A huge figure floated up from the sea, with a lonely scream, and sprayed out a stream of water several meters high. Lang Hua, on his forehead, is a scar left after being bitten by another animal.

This guy is definitely more than thirty-two meters tall...

All sounds disappeared... Leo's last memory was that it jumped up from the sea and blocked the moon. He was in the shadow, looking at its white belly, and then... three kayaks were crushed by it. Underneath him.

“On April 10, in order to investigate and protect the largest blue whale in history, National Geographic magazine organized 17 outstanding oceanographers from various countries, 30 professional divers, and 20 film crews to take a scientific expedition aboard the Field The ship headed for the North Atlantic, but encountered Hurricane Lincoln due to engine failure, causing the Field to sink. Currently, a professional salvage team has discovered that the Field was damaged. It is confirmed that a total of 21 people were unfortunately killed and 92 people are missing.
