At night, it started to rain lightly at Homecoming 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, you can 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. A one-yard crate wrapped in bubble bags was 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 start with death."
"You two!" At this moment, 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?" He glanced at the anchor of the other party's ship. Two-striped epaulettes, the two people who were still communicating stopped and said with enthusiasm: "Second officer?"
"You don't remember me? That's really a noble person who forgets things. Without your help before, I can't imagine how bad these days of sailing would be due to seasickness." The voice seemed to have unknown magic power, and it immediately made people feel uncomfortable. The menacing second officer froze on the spot.
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 on our ship?" He hesitated.
"Of course." 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 to confirm the navigation conditions and nearby dangers. The second is to infiltrate the scientific research team and follow 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 the second one." 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's well known that it followed you before. As a newcomer to this industry, you still have a lot to learn, don't you?" Ah Shen, who looked like a young man, was pushed out and smiled politely at the second officer. laughed.
"Really?" The second officer looked at Ah Shen for a few times and felt that it was a bit inconsistent, but he couldn't find anything that was inconsistent, 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 built 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. Sloping raindrops fell from the sky. Accompanied by the strong sea breeze, several times It makes people unable to open their eyes.
"Come into action." ... Ship's wheelhouse. Ah Shen maintained the demeanor that a newcomer should have 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 these 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 pondered: "...If it is true that these offshore fishes 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 go deeper." The head of the Executive Bureau's eyes moved slightly and speculated: "If the so-called 'death' is really as we judged, , can be transmitted through the simplest contact, then what kind of changes will happen to the ocean ecology?"
"Is it possible that it will cause deathly silence in an entire sea area?"
"Impossible." Another expert in a different field objected: "How strong 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 releases a signal that implies the magnitude of the situation, indicating that the current situation is still within our control..." A Shen saw the captain in the discussion. After planning a route with the first mate, the entire Sky Eye began to move toward the southeast according to the planned route.
Whoops - on the deck, the sea breeze mixed with the slightest raindrops came straight to the deck. In the dark world, only the shadowy light on the water at the stern of the boat remained.
That is the light of East Marina Bay, and it is also the last afterglow of order and humanity. After this separation, 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
The working place of "scientific researchers" is naturally no longer the equipment warehouse and workshop where most of the crew members are located, 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.
"Huh?" 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. Then came There is also a pungent smell.
"Are you studying 'death'?" With [The Fool] approaching, Gao Yi ignored the remains of the corpse.
"Death" 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.
