Xia Ye turned her eyes to Xiuji. Xiuji understood what she meant, spread out his little paws and said:
"It wasn't me who woke her up, she suddenly woke up on her own."
Yaha also frowned and looked at the chief engineer: "You will die if you enter 'Synchronized Enhancement' like this."
The chief engineer remained expressionless as usual, and the girl shook her head very calmly:
"Don't worry."
Ten seconds later, she said again:
"Full speed ahead."
Just as he finished speaking, a beam of whale breath hit the starboard side, making a scalp-numbing explosion.
The chief engineer groaned, and a wound in his abdomen suddenly burst open. The emerald green lines that had originally locked the wound were torn in half, and slowly faded from the skin. Blood gushes out again, covering the tattered wound. The sailor uniform was stained red.
Yaha's frown deepened, but he didn't know what to say. If personal emotions are not taken into account, from the perspective of a captain and cold rationality, it is the best choice to let the chief engineer continue to "keep in sync" and strengthen.
Faced with this situation, Xia Ye spent much less time struggling with it than Yaha did.
She stretched out her hand to the chief engineer, ripped off the obstructive fabrics, and said to Xiuji: "Help her re-seal the wound. If there is another wound, seal it again."
Then, she turned to look at Yaha: "Xiuji and I will take care of the chief engineer. You can take command, Captain Yaha."
Yaha was silent for a few seconds, nodded, returned to his usual standing position, and began to issue orders:
"First mate, take people to the deck and find a way to put away the air bag!"
"now?"
"Yes, now! We have to trade height for speed and enter stamping mode as soon as possible."
"But whale breath falls on the deck from time to time."
"So I said find a way."
"clear."
…
On the other side, Xiu Ji buried his head on the belly of the chief engineer, and the cat's tongue licked the wound. After a few seconds, a green line slowly appeared, and the open wound closed again, and the blood stopped flowing. .
"Thank you," the chief engineer whispered.
Xiuji squatted down next to her and gently shook the cat's head:
"What this cat uses on you is 'erosion'. This ability can control your body and force the wound to stop bleeding. However, it actually overdraws the vitality of other parts of your body. According to your words, it is equivalent to tearing apart your body." The east wall repairs the west wall. If there are only one or two wounds, it's okay, but if there are too many wounds, your entire body will be torn down by this cat~"
"It's okay." After the chief engineer finished speaking, he stretched out his hand weakly and scratched Xiu Ji's chin to express his gratitude.
Xiuji called out "Meow~Meow~" twice and narrowed his eyes comfortably.
…
The bow of the ship suddenly began to tilt downward, and a feeling of weightlessness followed.
The first mate really found a way and led the men to put away the airbag despite the whale's breath. Moby-Dick's altitude began to decrease, but its speed increased faster as a result.
"I'll take the helm!"
Yaha reached out to hold the steering wheel and immediately pushed the helmsman aside.
"Help me keep an eye on the ship's speed and the remaining time of the whale's breath!"
"Yes... the current speed is 115 knots, the whale's breath has lasted for 90 seconds, and there are 30 seconds left!" the helmsman reported.
"good."
Yaha stared straight ahead, constantly fine-tuning the steering wheel and horizontal rudder lever. Not only did the Moby-Dick not have enough buoyancy, there was also a huge corpse dragging behind the stern, making it easy to lose balance. At that time, the ship will no longer slide steadily downward as it does now, but will roll and fall uncontrollably into the depths of the etheric sea.
…
"Well……"
With a soft groan, another wound appeared on Xiu's thigh and shoulder. Just now, two whale breaths hit the front deck and the rear deck respectively.
Xia Ye, with quick eyes and quick hands, pressed Xiu Ji on the chief engineer's shoulder. At the same time, he leaned down and put his lips close to the wound on his thigh.
"Chiliu~"
"Chiliu~"
Two tongues licked it at the same time, and two emerald green lines appeared almost at the same time, sealing the two new wounds.
Looking up, Xia Ye saw the chief engineer looking at him with a dull expression on his face, his mouth slightly open. For the chief engineer, making such an expression was already a very strong emotional expression.
She must be very surprised, super surprised.
"It's the same ability as Xiuji."
Xia Ye tapped her pink lips with her index finger and explained, "It's urgent, and Xiuji is too busy, so I have to come and lick you~~ You don't mind, right?"
build:"……"
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Xia Ye took it as her acquiescence: "I guess you won't mind either. Huhu~ Speaking of which, some people have praised me and said that my tongue is very comfortable~~"
Xiu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the last word didn't come out...
…
"Report speed!"
"150 knots...155 knots...160 knots!"
"Okay." Yaha pushed the putter, "Enter stamping propulsion mode! Turn on afterburner!"
"Report the whale breath countdown!"
"Ten seconds left!"
"Very good, we'll get over it soon."
Yaha adjusted the horizontal rudder to plus 5 degrees, and the bow of the ship tilted upward. The propellers that finally entered the ram propulsion mode roared, and the whales dragged by the whaling ship and the stern began to climb hard.
Ten seconds passed.
"Why is the whale's breath still falling?!" Yaha roared.
"No, I don't know..." The helmsman glanced at the clock on the wall again, "It's already been more than two minutes..."
Perhaps knowing that the whaling ship was about to escape, this time the whales tried their best to emit whale breath. Even though it had been more than two minutes, the incandescent beams continued to fall from the sky.
Fortunately, the speed of the Moby Dick has increased to 180 knots, and it has certain evasive capabilities. Yaha kept turning the steering wheel, doing his best to avoid the rain of death falling from high in the sky.
…
"Why isn't the whale's breath over yet?" Xia Ye looked at the clock again. So far, it has been three full minutes.
"Hmm..."
An old wound opened on Xiu's body. Immediately afterwards, a whale's breath hit the whaling ship, and a new wound was added to the girl's already scarred body.
"Quick, stop the bleeding!"
Licking licking licking licking licking...
Xia Ye felt that the Xiu in front of her was like a broken rag doll, which was constantly being torn apart and forced to be sewn back together... But if it continued like this, it would eventually fall apart into a pile of rags.
Time seems to have never been so long.
Gradually, the whale's breath falling outside the window finally became more and more sparse, and after a while, the light beam stopped falling from the sky.
This round of whale breath lasted for a full four minutes. The Moby Dick was hit by the whale breath more than twenty times. Except for the first minute, Xiu took down all the remaining attacks.
"Chief Engineer, it's over. You can cancel the 'Synchronized Enhancement'." Xia Ye said to Xiu.
The girl sitting against the wall was speechless. Her face was pale and there was no trace of blood on her lips. Hearing Xia Ye's voice, the girl reluctantly nodded.
A second later, the translucent curve outside the ship disappeared, and the "synchronized enhancement" state was lifted.
At the same time, the girl's body slowly tilted to one side, and finally fell completely to the ground.
"Hello……"
Xia Ye stretched out her hand, but Xiu Ji was one step faster. It jumped directly onto Xiu's body and put its ear against the girl's chest.
After a moment, the black cat raised his head:
"Her heartbeat is weakening, and it's weakening very quickly..."
"What?!"
"She's dying meow."
Xia Ye seemed to be hit head-on by a whale's breath, and even his thoughts went blank for a moment.
But this blankness only lasted for a second.
After a second, her rationality cleared away the panic, sadness... and all other messy useless emotions that had clogged her heart.
The mind works again.
"I remember you said that when push comes to shove, there is another way you can try." She stared at Xiuji and said.
Black Cat nodded.
"Then give it a try." Xia Ye's voice was so calm that it was almost cold, "Start now."
