Chapter 282 Qi Monkey

I took up the telescope and looked into the distance with doubt. The ship was still far away from us, but we could roughly judge that it should be much larger than ours. It should be a huge ocean-going ship, drifting in the darkness and thick fog. I couldn't see the situation on the deck clearly, and I didn't know if there was anything unclean, but the flag flying on the bow was very clear. It was indeed a sword and a shield crossed.

I gave the telescope to Lao Bai and the others again, turned my head and was about to speak, but I saw Shunzi burst into tears without knowing when.

He was severely dehydrated, pale, and extremely weak, but he kept muttering to himself: "Dagu... Dad... Dad..."

I had goose bumps all over my body, and a very shocking idea came to my mind. I kicked the old one-eyed man and asked him when he came to his senses: "Could it be... this Dagu is the ship of Shunzi's father back then?"

The old one-eyed man nodded woodenly, and after a moment he slowly told us about the Dagu.

This ship can be said to be one of the few ocean-going giant ships in the Hai Gang. It was launched in Tianjin Port that year, so it was named Dagu and has been responsible for overseas exploration.

Shunzi's father's name is Luo Songyuan. As Old Man Shi said, he is gifted and has a bright future. When the ship was launched, he was directly appointed as the captain. Because this person is good at using swords and shields, and his style is extremely fierce and brave, so his flag is his weapon. He is unique in the entire Hai Gang, and the old one-eyed man will never make a mistake.

Luo Songyuan's Dagu disappeared in District 17 that year, and it has been a full ten years since then!

In other words, Dagu has been drifting here for ten years? !

Ten years is a long time, enough to change too much. A ship that has been drifting for ten years without maintenance and control should almost become a pile of scrap metal, right?

But I looked through the telescope and the ship was still very well preserved, especially the flag on the bow, which did not look rotten at all. It was really weird!

For a while, we gradually calmed down and thought about whether to go to the ship to take a look.

"Yes, we must!"

The old one-eyed man licked his lips, but unfortunately there was no saliva in his mouth. Instead, he licked the skin on his lips. With a glimmer of excitement in his eyes, he said, "Our fresh water has been exhausted. We can't drink more seawater separated by the semipermeable membrane. We can't hold on for a few days. Instead of dying of thirst here, we might as well go there and take a gamble. Even if there is something, with Mr. Zhang here, what are we afraid of?!"

Lao Bai's eyes lit up: "Are you sure there is fresh water on that ship?!"

"There must be!"

The old one-eyed man nodded vigorously: "The Dagu is a 10,000-ton giant ship, which is not comparable to our small broken ship. It has at least 300 tons of fresh water stored on it, and there are water-making equipment on board. Even if the seawater here is not drinkable after being processed by the water-making equipment, the 300 tons of fresh water is enough to save lives. As far as I know, the Dagu had just been refueled at the dock not long before the accident. The fresh water on the ship is impossible to be consumed. Even after ten years, some of it must have been stored. Although it has deteriorated a little, but... it won't kill you if you boil it! !

Moreover, our ship is broken, even if the Dagu is not working, there must be a lifeboat on board. With the lifeboat, we can at least control the direction ourselves, right?"

After he finished speaking, not to mention Lao Bai, the always cautious Brother Yaozi was moved.

Indeed, if we continue to waste time on this broken ship, what awaits us is death!

"But how do we get there?"

Zhang Xinya said with some embarrassment: "It's impossible to just swim over here, right? The seawater here is extremely evil. If we go in, our strength will be reduced by 50%. There must be mermaids underwater. When the time comes, they will rush over. This will cause trouble..."

Before she finished speaking, my master suddenly interrupted her: "We don't have to go over. The Dagu is coming towards us!"

A stone stirs up a thousand waves. The situation of the ship is already weird, and my master's words are even more shocking! !

"Dad..."

Shunzi jumped up and shouted: "It must be my dad, he must be on the ship!!"

We looked at each other. The Dagu has been drifting here for ten years. Even if the ship has been sailing long enough, it is impossible to drift for ten years without docking. To put it bluntly, the people on the ship must have died long ago!

Could it be... a ghost ship? !

The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible.

"No matter what it is, the ship has been boarded. We have to go even if it doesn't come. It's just right that it's coming!"

My master said calmly with his hands behind his back: "Xinya, take out the water you separated in the past two days. Give some to everyone to drink, restore their physical strength, and prepare to seize the ship!!"

His words were the final hammer. With an order, Zhang Xinya took out all the fresh water.

There is evil spirit in this water. Originally, I could only drink a small cup a day. I couldn't bear more, but now the crisis is coming, who can care about this? I gulped down a bottle of water, like drinking cold ice. In an instant, a cold breath spread in my body. I shivered unconsciously, and the coldness became heavier. I immediately sat down and meditated with my five hearts facing the sky. It's not that this meditation has any magical effect. The key is that it can make me calm down, my heart is empty, and I won't be hit by the evil spirit!

Time passed by every second.

As my master had expected, the Dagu slowly emerged from the darkness and broke through the fog. We finally got a glimpse of its full appearance. The roar of the internal combustion engine broke the tranquility here, and billowing white smoke spewed out of the exhaust pipe.

"Bastard, someone is really driving a boat!!"

Lao Bai jumped up, holding the railing with both hands, staring at the ship, and said to himself: "Is this ship a fairy? It has been trapped here for more than ten years, how can it still have fuel?"

No one can answer this question!

All this is too weird and full of unreality.

I stood up silently. After adapting for a while, the evil spirit in my body temporarily stabilized, so I awakened the Tianguan Blade and held the Baipi Knife in my hand to be on guard. Unfortunately, compared with the giant ship, our small broken boat is really too small to see. Even if I look up, I can't see the situation on the opposite deck clearly. Seeing that the other side is getting closer and closer to us, my whole nerves collapsed to the extreme.

As a result, strangely, when the Dagu was less than 100 meters away from us, the ship actually made a "woohoo" whistle sound, and the huge ship, which looked like a prehistoric monster, gradually stopped. It was obvious that the power was turned off, and the roar of the internal combustion engine could not be heard.

We looked at each other, unsure of what this meant.

At this time, the old one-eyed man said with a strange look on his face: "Listen to the whistle, one long, one short, and then one long. The other party is requesting to contact us!"

"Hey, damn it, I have been in the rivers and lakes for most of my life, and this is the first time I have encountered this situation."

Lao Bai sneered: "The ghost soldiers thought they were alive after they died, and they had to continue fighting. Could it be that the ghosts on the other side are also like this? They still want to be sailors after they die?"

The old one-eyed man looked at my master: "Mr. Zhang, what should we do now?"

My master thought about it and said: "Since the other party didn't use force, we won't use force either. Let's find out what's going on. So, you go and write him a letter and say that we need rescue here!"

The old one-eyed man hurriedly ran to the cockpit. The small fishing boat was almost broken, but there should be no problem with the whistle. Soon the old one-eyed man responded with three short and one long whistles, and the sound of the whistle was like a broken gong...

Soon, the Dagu on the other side responded again, one long, one short, and one long, one short, a total of four sounds. The old one-eyed man came out of the cabin with a happy face. The other party actually agreed.

After a moment, two rescue boats were launched, and the Dagu was like dumplings, with three people coming down one after another.

I have been looking at the situation over there through the telescope. I can only roughly see that there are three men, and I can't be sure whether they are people or things. Of course, in my subconscious, I am more inclined to believe that they are not people, because no one can survive in such a harsh environment for ten years!

The speed of the two rescue boats is very fast, and they are close in the blink of an eye.

Our group has been on guard at the guardrail for a long time, so naturally we can see the appearance of the other party at the first time.

The leader was a man in his forties, of medium build, but very strong, with a full beard and a hideous scar on his face, from the corner of his right eye to his left chin. It was probably because he was stabbed in the face. It was a miracle that he survived. Maybe because of the long-term wandering, the eyes of these three people were slightly red.

I stared at these three people for a long time, and the more I looked, the more frightened I became...

No matter from which angle, these are three people! !

Look, they are still breathing. The temperature here is very low. You can see white air coming out of the mouths and noses of these three people.

I was unsure of the situation, and subconsciously glanced at my master, but saw that my master also had a look of doubt!

Others were frightened by seeing a ghost, but in this bird place, seeing a person is more terrifying than seeing a ghost! !

"Qi Monkey?"

"Qi... Uncle Qi?"

Old One-Eyed and Shunzi exclaimed almost at the same time.

The man on the rescue boat heard the two people's exclamation and subconsciously looked up at us. He first glanced at Shunzi and frowned, as if he didn't know him. Then he looked at Old One-Eye. The more he looked, the weirder his expression became. After a while, he tentatively asked, "Are you... Old One-Eye?"

Seeing this, I was even more confused. What was going on? It was fine if there were people alive coming down from a ship that had been lost for ten years, but these people who came down looked like... acquaintances?
