doomsday exile

The rescue plane will not be able to come for a while.

After all, there are no aircraft carriers nearby.

The plane will take off from the nearest island or port, which is conservatively estimated to be an hour later.

When a person is soaked in sea water, he will slowly lose temperature, become exhausted...and then sink.

Nearby warships will rescue "visible" targets first, and the life jackets and lifeboats will be marked with conspicuous yellow stripes. Unfortunately, Yan Long and the others came late and failed to catch up with anything.

In order to escape from the vortex of the sunken ship, Lu Di desperately dragged Yan Long and carried the intelligence officer to swim out. After the black vortex lines in the sea water that symbolized terror disappeared, Lu Di looked back and could only see the black water floating on the surface of the sea. Heavy debris.

——The last lifeboat still failed to escape the vortex in time.

Together with those who rushed to get on the boat, they were sucked into the bottom of the sea.

I don't know if there is anyone like Yan Long who resolutely gave up escaping by himself.

Lu Di was in a very bad mood.

Because he "saw" and "heard".

Many brain waves disappear under the vortex, like fireflies extinguished in the dark.

It was the first time that Lu Di faced the tragedy of so many deaths.

Until the last second, these brain waves were expressing a strong will to survive. Their heart sounds and thoughts were repeated, allowing the sound to pass through the water and reach Lu Di's ears.

Doubt, fear, pain, unwillingness... countless negative emotions, countless voices of the dead, rising from the bottom of the sea like hideous tentacles of darkness.

—and then disappeared without a trace.

"Who did it? Do they want to destroy the plan to intercept the meteorite fragments and let the meteorite destroy the earth?"

Lu Di took several deep breaths before trying to stabilize his emotions, preventing the form of energy particles from fluctuating violently, and preventing the glove from losing control. He still has someone to save, and he has another mission to complete with Yan Long.

Yan Long looked around, people like them who swam out on their own before the vortex of the shipwreck, now they can only drift along the sea water, without any conspicuous marks on their bodies, and they don't bring a locator, it's just a matter of luck.

He roughly calculated that, together with those in the cabin who did not swim out at all, at least 300 people died at the bottom of the sea.

In addition to agents from various countries, there are also staff members of the Medusa, and...scientists from various countries.

These are experts in the fields of meteorite structure analysis and seabed exploration and salvage.

Yan Long felt Lu Di's anger, and he couldn't say anything to comfort him, because even he himself was trying to restrain the anger in his heart.

"Our Huaxia ship is the farthest from here, and it may not be able to catch up with the first wave of rescue. We can't wait here, we have to swim forward..."

There are important documents and materials in the laptop in the backpack, and the laptop itself also has secrets. Yan Long dare not bet that after the Bald Eagle or the Russians come, they will not forcibly search the belongings of Yuan Zhongxia and the intelligence officer Zhang.

No matter how well he and Lu Di have it, it is impossible to fight against so many people.

"Walk."

Lu Di said decisively.

***

Zhang Tao coughed hard, his consciousness was originally floating, but the moment he returned to his body, he felt a severe headache.

The head looks like it's about to explode, and there's buzzing in the ears, top-heavy, and it feels like water is flooding in the brain.

——Why is there really the sound of splashing water?

Zhang Tao was dumbfounded.

His body was twitching, and someone seemed to be talking in his ear.

It took a long time before he could discern what the distant and erratic voice was saying.

"He's cramp."

"We swam too fast and the water was too cold for him."

Zhang Tao wanted to speak, but he drank a sip of water as soon as he opened his mouth.

Bitter and salty.

Zhang Tao felt that he was going to vomit, and then he really vomited.

The voice next to him suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Tao vomited so faintly that he felt that someone was holding his arm, and someone was patting him on the back.

"... bumped my head earlier...probably a concussion."

"Ah, what happened to Captain Yuan? He also passed out from the shock, was he injured?"

"He reacted in a timely manner and made a movement to protect his head with his hands, so there was nothing wrong."

After Zhang Tao vomited, he sobered up a lot.

The pain of the twitching calf made his body curl up into a ball, and he kept sinking. He was startled suddenly, and finally found himself soaked in the water.

There was a figure swaying in front of him, but Zhang Tao couldn't make it out carefully, otherwise his head would hurt even more.

"He's awake! Zhang Tao? Close your eyes, breathe in, breathe out..."

Zhang Tao instinctively followed this action. He had also been trained, and without Yan Long's explanation, he quickly understood his situation.

——I don't know why, anyway, he had a concussion, not only had a headache, but also lost a small piece of memory.

Fortunately, Zhang Tao still remembers his name and his identity.

"Captain Yuan?"

"Yes."

Yan Long took the initiative to change his voice. He felt that it would be better to use Yuan Zhongxia's identity and voice to speak directly at this time. The injury of the intelligence officer was worse than he thought, and redundant explanations would only make Zhang Tao's headache worse.

Zhang Tao endured a headache, tried to open his eyes, and remained motionless without speaking.

Yan Long understood what he was worried about, turned on the underwater flashlight, and took a look at "my" face.

Zhang Tao saw Yuan Zhongxia's face clearly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. The wrong voice just now should be the sequelae of his tinnitus. He recalled and asked: "We talked about new polymer materials at... the French, and then what?"

"The boat sank and we escaped and missed the lifeboats."

After Yan Long finished speaking succinctly, he led the people to continue swimming slowly.

Zhang Tao's cramp stopped, but his calf was stiff and he couldn't straighten it at all. He felt that he was being surrounded by an invisible force. Before that, he lifted his leg to prevent him from sinking, but now this force came to his back and shoulders.

Zhang Tao, who was dizzy and couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, thought it was some new type of drowning emergency equipment.

For example, there are two airbags tied to the legs, and there is a power booster package on the back.

Zhang Tao remembered the two voices he heard before, Yuan Zhongxia seemed to be in front of him all the time, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't spit on you, did I?"

"It's okay, I vomited into the sea."

Yan Long thought for a while, he was using Yuan Zhongxia's body, and the sea water disappeared.

Lu Di also thought about it, he doesn't even have a body, and the gloves are still in a waterproof case, it doesn't matter.

"It's okay, it's just that a group of fish was attracted... I mean, there are fish passing by, do you feel better?" Lu Di didn't dare to speed up at all. Just now Zhang Tao was cramping and vomiting, and now there is no doctor.

What a concussion needs most is rest and rest, but they are in the sea, even if they don't move, the sea will shake them all the time.

Zhang Tao really felt even more uncomfortable.

From Lu Di's perspective, Zhang Tao's brain waves are very chaotic, like a ball of wool that cannot be disassembled.

"You, who are you?"

Zhang Tao never found the second person, and he was a little puzzled.

But it was too dark around, and he was dizzy again, so he didn't think much about it.

"It's a member of this mission, code-named Ghost."

"Oh."

Zhang Tao is very used to the existence of "there are players I don't know", and this code name is enough to explain everything. It is either an undercover agent or a secret agent. If the ship does not sink, it is estimated that it is impossible for the secret personnel to talk.

Lu Di found that the fish schools around him were increasing.

"Be careful."

Lu Di stared at the water, it was difficult for him to clearly distinguish marine life, unless it was a particularly large species, the power they brought in the water could barely be marked for him.

Because the power of swimming creatures in the sea is far less "attractive" than ocean currents.

At this time, we must rely on Yan Long who can sense biological waves.

Although not all animals have "records" at Yan Long's place, it is still possible to act as a temporary radar problem.

It is night now, and many sea creatures will float up from the bottom of the sea. They live during the day and come out to feed and move at night—not only fish schools, but also hunters.

"I'm very worried about jellyfish. I heard that there is a kind of highly poisonous jellyfish in the Indian Ocean. If we encounter it, Captain Yuan and the wounded man will be in trouble. Jellyfish don't even have biological waves, right?"

"Not really, but I can make out shoals of jellyfish."

Yan Long said that his body was imitating this kind of creature, how could he not find it.

"What about a single one?"

"If we happen to come across a single venomous jellyfish in the middle of an ocean, and we happen to get stung...how can I put it that way, that kind of luck is outrageous."

When Lu Di heard the words, he immediately stopped Yan Long nervously: "Enough, stop talking."

This mission really broke the bad luck of the sky, twists and turns followed by twists and turns, and the accidents were unimaginable. Lu Di felt that if he wanted to return to China smoothly, he should never have the idea of ​​"luck is not so bad".

Lu Di looked up at the sky, it was pitch black and there was no starlight.

When a person reaches the sea, he realizes how small he is.

Looking around is the vast sea, the sky is as dark as the sea.

If there were no cheats like Lu Di and Yan Long, ordinary people would be washed up by the sea and drown in the water, and they wouldn't even be able to tell where the water surface was.

Lu Di couldn't hear the shouts, and couldn't feel the brain waves of human beings nearby. They were pushed by the ocean currents and drifted to unknown places.

Yan Long suddenly felt a strong active biological wave in front of him.

"Dodge... Swim to the left, there are groups of creatures, more than twenty."

Yan Long protected Zhang Tao and tried his best to follow the rhythm of the waves.

There are sharks in the Andaman Sea, they are very easily attracted by fish schools, and a group of human beings swimming desperately in the sea and pedaling the sea water are easily mistaken by these predators for a large gathering of fish schools.

If someone is injured again, and the blood escapes in the sea water, this group of sharks with bad eyes will even more believe that this is the prey, and they will definitely rush up to try a few bites.

Yan Long stopped treading the water and waited quietly for the group of predators heading for the fish to pass by.

"Wait, this voice—"

Lu Di suddenly appeared, with joy in his eyes.

The short or long chirps from far away, like ribbons woven along the waves, are constantly jumping and undulating, and twisting and twisting for a while, lively and cheerful.

A series of gray-black lines break through the waves, chasing after each other and shuttle back and forth in the lines of the ocean current, as if they are beating notes on a stave.

——It is not only sharks that hunt fish schools, but also dolphins.

Lu Di remembers that dolphins can save people.

His mind control is ineffective on animals, and he is unwilling to use mind control to harm the brains of these creatures, but now Zhang Tao's situation is too bad, Lu Di decided to try to condense energy particles to attract the attention of these little guys.

Energy particles resonate, frequencies inaudible to the human ear spread in the air, like an invisible hand waving vigorously.

Those gray and black lines stopped as expected, and made a sound like calling, then turned around and came towards Yan Long.
