Chapter 39
Option one 83.3%, option two 16.7%.
……
【Option [-]】
【Go now】
……
No one chooses to wait at this time.No one will wait forever.
Zheng Zhuo looked at the figures stirring in the darkness for the last time.
"Get on board."
He said to Chu Huairen.
……
The faint sound of splashes echoed in the sea late at night.The rescue boat was lowered from the side of the scientific research ship and landed on the sea shaken by the rain.
Zheng Zhuo and Chu Huairen nodded.
Three, two, one.
At the same time, the two men pulled off the winch connecting the boat to the cable.
The boat thus severed all communication on the vast ocean.It shook violently, and drifted away from the hull of the scientific research ship.
Zheng Zhuo began to pull the ship rescue motor at the stern of the lifeboat.After a few hums, the motor started.
The boat began to sail steadily.Soon, the scientific research ship with no lights turned on turned into a shadow in the night and could no longer be seen.
……
Zheng Zhuo sat at the stern, controlling the motor and direction.He didn't have a clear goal, he just drove towards the direction where the rain was heavier.
They moved forward for a long time, so long that Zheng Zhuo thought that the sun should have risen a long time ago.For a few hours, more than ten hours, the night seemed to have stagnated here, and there was only endless rain on the vast sea.
The only thing that can make Zheng Zhuo experience the change is that the rain is indeed getting heavier.The rain changed from fine and dense moderate rain to violent torrential rain, beating the boat and the two people sitting on it non-stop.
Raincoats are no longer meaningful, Zheng Zhuo and Chu Huairen's bodies are already drenched.The waves surged, and several times, the boat was almost completely overturned.
All Zheng Zhuo can do is control the motor.Chu Huairen kept bailing out the water from the boat, but the speed of entering the water was even worse.
The boat rocked in the rainstorm.The waterline of the hull has dropped to only half of its original size.Even the smallest wave can flood the boat with a lot of water.
And the water took away the heat from the two of them.
They can only eat and drink desperately to keep their body temperature.Only with body temperature can there be strength.
Zheng Zhuo once thought he was looking for too much food.But now it seems that there are actually too few.Some food fell into the sea during the violent shaking of the rescue boat, and some entered the sea water, turning into a mixture of salt and powder.In the later period, the two had to save food and fresh water with a lot of physical loss, which made everything worse.
And that's not the worst.
The ship's salvage motor started flooding and whined intermittently.Zheng Zhuo knocked off its casing with a wrench, replaced it with a tarp, and used a screwdriver to remove some - he thought - irrelevant screws, so that the water could flow out of the motor smoothly.Still later, this measure did not drain fast enough, and all the contents were soaked in salty water, giving off flickering sparks.
He never got his hands on the inner parts of the motor and had to use a chisel to make more holes in the bottom of the motor.This behavior of drinking doves to quench thirst made Ma Da's condition worse and worse in the next few hours.
Cold, exhaustion, hunger, fear...
In the first few hours of being dragged to the deep sea by all the despair sticking from the bottom of the heart, when both Zheng Zhuo and Chu Huairen began to gradually lose consciousness...
Click.
A bolt of lightning pierced the dark sky.
Zheng Zhuo raised his head.
A thunderstorm is coming.
……
Zheng Zhuo saw lightning so closely for the first time.Accompanied by the deafening thunder, the electric arc penetrated the distant sea surface, blasting a huge water column dozens of feet high.
And in the middle of all the water columns...
Zheng Zhuo vaguely saw the outline of an island in the darkness.
"(Just... almost arriving...)"
Zheng Zhuo no longer cared whether the motor would burn out, and turned on the flooded motor to its maximum power.
The draft of the rescue boat has reached the limit, and it may sink at any time.Chu Huairen threw all the supplies on the boat into the sea to ease this slow death.
In the end, there were only two people left on board, and Professor Lin Wen's collection.And after the boat reached its limit again, Chu Huairen opened the suitcase.
He dropped the suitcase first.Immediately afterwards, with Zheng Zhuo's wrench, he knocked off the plaster.
As the plaster peeled off little by little, pottery fragments, bronze fragments and relief fragments were completely exposed.
"...they are... waterproof."
Zheng Zhuo heard Chu Huairen's voice mixed with the rainstorm.He saw Chu Huairen holding up a broken piece of a bronze statue in the rainstorm.
Lightning lit up the night sky.In this fleeting light, he saw that the rust on the fragment had melted after being washed by the rain, as if it had been melted in a strong acid.
After all the rust water was removed from the shards, the bronze shards became new and shiny.But it's not just that...
It's still changing.Its texture is changing, becoming clear and round.
...In the end, it turned into a texture similar to jade.
Chu Huairen had forgotten to scoop up water.Trembling, he picked up something else—the bas-relief fragment and the pottery shard.
The pottery pieces have become as crystal clear as glass, and when the lightning illuminates the sky, it refracts strange colors.
The relief fragments are softening.When Chu Huairen picked it up, it was like some kind of organic tissue, limply hanging on his hand.
"...it's... beating..."
Chu Huairen muttered to himself.
"It's...it's...alive..."
Click!
A bolt of lightning landed very, very close to the two of them.A water column of tens of meters rose from the side and overturned the boat.
"Oops—ship—"
Zheng Zhuo couldn't finish his yelling.
The boat capsized completely.Zheng Zhuo and Chu Huairen fell into the water together.
……
Surrounded by turbulent ocean currents, it was turbid.Zheng Zhuo couldn't see anything clearly, and couldn't swim even a tiny bit.He can only be carried by the current - he feels torn by the violent force, rolled in the sea for minutes, tens of minutes -
Finally, a big wave hit the dry beach.
"……Aha."
dizziness.
Zheng Zhuo's vision faltered, and he saw Chu Huairen lying there not far away.He seemed to have landed a long time ago...he was already trying to get up.Zheng Zhuo saw him spread his right palm, and the sticky thing slipped from his hand onto the beach.
I... how come I haven't lost consciousness yet?Why is everything not over yet?Why did I... survive?
Zheng Zhuo couldn't believe it at all.His vision faltered, and he grasped feebly at the sand.He felt pain in his face and neck.It hurts and itches—
He moved his arm with difficulty and touched the side of his neck.
He felt three huge gaps.From the opening, something moist, soft, and comb-like protruded.
Like the gills of a fish.
"--Slightly ah--"
Zheng Zhuo struggled.Chu Huairen in front of him didn't seem to hear anything.Holding the pottery in his left hand, he seemed to have completely lost consciousness, and walked forward blankly.
"...Ah...Ah...I...I still..."
Zheng Zhuo tried his best to get up and call Chu Huairen to stop.But he couldn't move at all.
what happened?
He looked towards the legs.
then.
He saw many, transparent, human-shaped lights, tightly wrapped around him.
"—he's here—he's here—"
The auditory hallucinations are like an awl, penetrating into Zheng Zhuo's brain.
"—he succeeded! Take us away—take us away—"
"I—I give you wealth that can never—never be spent—"
"No! No! Give you my [ability]! Take me away—"
"I - I give you - I give you knowledge! Give you - give you -!!!"
Those things screamed and grabbed Zheng Zhuo tightly.
Damn!
He crawled forward desperately, desperately—some of the human-shaped lights were thrown from him—and he was able to stand up at last—but they still pulled him hard, making it impossible for him to move.
"—Didn't you come to save us!"
He heard the lights screaming.
"Save me! Take me out—I'll give you everything!"
Zheng Zhuo can already move forward.He wanted to shake off all the light, but Chu Huairen had already walked towards the circular deep hole in the island.
