As the sails opened, the white ship slowly sailed away from the Newport Pier amid everyone's expectations, and headed towards the vast sea with desire and pursuit.
This was the first time for Zhang Xiaoman to take a boat ride in his life. Apart from the novelty and excitement, he was also very glad that he did not suffer from seasickness.
However, he also speculated that this might be the benefit brought by the additional attributes of the cloak, which he was not sure about.
Anyway, for now, Zhang Xiaoman has no intention of taking off his cloak to test whether he will get seasick.
After looking at the scenery outside on the deck, he casually chatted with Yang Yangyang and the others about their adventure plans. After the initial novelty, Zhang Xiaoman gradually became bored and finally returned to the room. Turn on the small satellite TV and watch it.
In this way, time flew by, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The five days on the sea were much longer than other places. Although the mobile phone signal lost its signal early on, fortunately there was satellite TV and stand-alone games to play, so Zhang Xiaoman did not feel too uncomfortable.
When there is nothing to do, everyone will get together to play cards. Occasionally, they will stop the boat and fish together. The life is quite interesting.
On the second day, Zhang Xiaoman also made another attempt, which was to stop the system lottery once a day to see if the number of times would accumulate.
Sure enough, after this try, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the number of draws in the system could indeed be accumulated.
After five days of accumulation, the word "5" appeared on his system interface where the lottery button was displayed.
This is the first time Zhang Xiaoman has done this since he obtained the system. This discovery is undoubtedly good news for him. In the future, when it is inconvenient for him to draw draws, he can accumulate the times and wait until he finds a suitable place. use together.
This trip has already covered half the distance.
As time went by, the enthusiasm of everyone in the expedition group not only did not fade away, but instead grew stronger.
This situation lasted until the morning of the sixth day before it changed.
In the early morning, Zhang Xiaoman was awakened from his sleep by the sound of knocking on the door. He put on his clothes and got up and went out. Only then did he realize that something big had happened.
On the deck, a group of people gathered here, with worried expressions on their faces, revealing their uneasiness.
"This is impossible! It was all fine just now, why did everything suddenly lose power!"
A sailor said to everyone in half-baked Mandarin:
"This is definitely not a circuit problem. Not only the boat, but also our mobile phones and other electronic devices cannot be turned on. I think we may have entered a special place, causing the electronic devices to temporarily malfunction."
"A special place, what does that mean?" someone in the group asked.
The bearded captain Barlia then opened his mouth to explain:
"We have only heard of this situation before, but have never really encountered it. It is rumored that in some sea areas, due to the extremely strong magnetic field, all electronic equipment and precision instruments will be affected and thus unable to operate normally. We are now It’s possible to be in such an environment.”
Yang Yangyang asked worriedly: "Then what should we do now? Is there any danger? Do we need to go back the same way?"
The bearded captain said with a smile:
"It's okay. If another ship comes to this area and loses power, it won't be able to move, and the distress signal won't be sent out. Maybe it will really be trapped and die here. But we are different. Yes, we are a sailing ship! Even if we lose mechanical power, we can still use the sails to continue sailing, and it is only a matter of time before we want to leave this area!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were secretly grateful that they and others had worked hard to get this sailing ship, so that they could now survive the difficulties.
"It happens to be a favorable wind now. We can sail a little further to check the situation. Once we leave this area, we will re-ignite the engine and mark the area on the map. We will go around it when we go back. ."
Everyone felt that what he said was reasonable, so they put down their worries and dispersed.
Zhang Xiaoman also relaxed his tense heart a little. He thought that due to unexpected changes, his journey to find the activation point of the gang establishment order might also be stranded.
Fortunately, it was just a near miss in the end, and the plan can still continue.
However, although the expedition has not been interrupted, after losing the power system, many things will be very inconvenient, especially in this hot summer, without air conditioning, time becomes more and more difficult. .
Fortunately, everyone brought enough dry food and fresh water when they set off, so there was no need to worry about food and water issues for the time being.
Besides, with a fierce man like Mr. Bei who can go into the sea and catch fish with bare hands, everyone can sit back and relax.
It's just that things are getting worse as time goes by. It stands to reason that the scope of this weird magnetic field should not be very large, and it should be out in about a day at most.
However, after five more days of sailing in this wind-driven state, they still could not get out of this area.
Although the compass and satellite map had lost their function, with the bearded captain's rich navigation and astronomical experience, everyone did not lose their way.
In addition, several of the sailors are retired navies from their respective countries, and they are also very good at operating sailboats. When encountering a headwind, with their skilled windward sailing skills, the speed is actually much faster than when the wind is tailwind. few.
However, this time there was some dispute on the ship. The positions of the expedition group and the sailors were completely changed compared to the beginning.
Yang Yangyang and others felt that they were getting closer and closer to their destination, but the abnormalities around them never disappeared.
This shows that there may really be something special about that place, which undoubtedly confirms the correctness and necessity of this trip by himself and others.
At the same time, it also ignited the adventurous souls of men and women who love mysterious legends and novel things, and they must go there to see it no matter what.
The bearded captain, who has professional navigation knowledge and many years of experience, is more aware of how risky this situation is for their safety. He also persuaded them many times along the way to stop moving forward and not to continue taking risks.
In the end, the two parties reached an agreement. According to the risk theory proposed by the Bearded Captain, combined with food, fresh water reserves and other factors, if they still cannot leave this area today, they must return immediately the next morning.
Zhang Xiaoman was confident about this, because with the map in his hand, he could clearly see that his destination was almost here!
