Abyss

Lin Qiubai subconsciously raised his left hand and glanced at the beeping Swiss watch on his wrist, it was indeed already eight o'clock.The little soldier who was still eloquent just now looked at the sea in front of him, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly and said, "It's broken! It's broken!"

Lin Qiubai is a geologist, how could he know nothing about climate?He knew this situation too well, it was the harbinger of the coming storm at sea.

In fact, he should have realized it a long time ago. The sea is so calm and the sky does not brighten for a long time, which can explain the problem.But I was so engrossed in listening to the little soldier's horror story that I neglected to observe, and even failed to detect such obvious signs in time.

The black-faced man from Shandong is surnamed Wang, and he is an ancient architect who was on the boat to investigate. Lin Qiubai doesn’t know his name, but everyone calls him Wang Biandan. Lin Qiubai thinks it’s not respectful to call him that way. Professor Wang.Although Lin Qiubai didn't know why an ancient architect was brought along for the Haiwen climate investigation, but out of respect, he never asked.And this Professor Wang really didn't have much to do on the ship, most of the time he hid in the cabin and slept soundly, this was the second time Lin Qiubai saw him standing up since boarding the ship.

Professor Guan looked confused and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Qiubai simply explained, "A big storm is coming!" Then he hastily said to the little soldier, "Go and inform everyone, increase the draft, and let everyone enter the cabin to escape!"

Of course, the little soldier knew that this weather was no joke, and immediately went to carry out Lin Qiubai's order.Fortunately, the personnel on board were either scientific backbones or military elites, and they were very calm when they encountered danger. Although they discovered the danger a little later, they avoided it in time and completed the evacuation quickly.

On the deck at this time, only Lin Qiubai and Wang Biandan were left.

Lin Qiubai glanced at Wang Biandan, and asked in surprise, "Why don't you enter the cabin?"

Wang Biandan shrugged sleepily and asked back, "Aren't you still here?"

Lin Qiubai said helplessly, "I just want to see what it was like before the storm came. After all, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, and what you see on paper is always shallow."

Wang Biandan didn't like Lin Qiubai's pedantic style, and said with a look of disdain, "You want to see it, why don't others be curious?"

Lin Qiubai didn't want to argue with him, so he didn't speak any more.He has always practiced Confucianism, and "not arguing with people from Sanji" is one of his basic principles.

Perhaps he regretted his life, Wang Biandan saw that Lin Qiubai was not arguing with him, so he said angrily, "I suddenly feel a little cold, I'm going back, let's see for myself!" After speaking, he really went back to the cabin.

But at this moment, Lin Qiubai really felt a faint coolness, as if mixed with heat waves and blowing from a distance.

How could there be a trace of coolness?Obviously, before the storm at sea, it will be humid, hot and oppressive!

"Professor Lin, why are you still here!" The little soldier called around, but he didn't find Lin Qiubai in the cabin, so he ran back worriedly, seeing Lin Qiubai standing alone on the deck, Hurry up and ask.

Lin Qiubai didn't have the energy to reply him.Such coolness always gave him a bad feeling.Lin Qiubai didn't speak, but just stared blankly at the distant place where the sea and sky intersected in the chaos, searching for related information in his mind.

Suddenly, a ray of golden-red morning glow burst out from the sea level in the distance, like a bud that has squeezed a bud, gushing out with extremely gorgeous colors, quickly dyeing the sea surface in the farthest place red.The color is quite beautiful, smudged on the black, calm as stagnant sea.Lin Qiubai was stunned for a moment. In his 30 years of life, he had never seen such a beautiful and shocking scene.

But in the next second, he also immediately realized that such a beautiful scenery is not a wonder of mountains and seas, but a prelude to a catastrophe!

Lin Qiubai's idea was confirmed in the Indonesian tsunami many years later, but most of the people on board had no chance to choose to believe it.

Most of the people in the cabin had never seen such a gorgeous and magical scene. Whether it was out of surprise or astonishment, all the people in the cabin thought that such a scene was a good omen of peace and harmony, and they all ran out of the cabin to watch; Linqiu Bai wanted to stop it, but his weak voice was drowned in the noisy discussions and exclamations of the crowd.

Before the people behind squeezed to the front to watch such a "beautiful scene", the sea water quickly arrived in front of the scientific research ship like a building about to collapse, with a posture of destroying the world. The Black Tail will be devoured in a few minutes.No matter how huge the Black Tail is, it is as insignificant as a grain of sand in the face of such a disaster.But now it's too late to change the direction, no matter which direction it is, it will eventually be trapped in this disaster.

In an instant, the boat was quiet, and a strong cold current came one step ahead of the monstrous sea water.Lin Qiubai didn't know how many degrees below zero it would be, but if it wasn't for the little soldier beside him who quickly took off his cotton coat and wrapped it tightly around his body, he thought he was really not far from freezing to death up.

Most of the people on board, including the little soldier, were froze in an instant, and fell to the deck in disarray.Lin Qiubai looked at the little soldier lying beside him, thank God, he seemed to be still breathing.

But what about breathing?Even if he didn't freeze to death now, wouldn't he still be thrown into the sea by huge waves and drowned soon?

At this moment, Lin Qiubai only had one thought left in his mind: he wanted to take a look at the child he was about to give birth to, even just a glance.He wants to name the child Linqian.Lin Qian Yu Xiang, I hope he can float freely in the water like a fish, not like his unlucky father who is about to be drowned in the sea.

Facing the huge waves, Lin Qiubai couldn't help closing his eyes and waiting for death.But death didn't come as he expected, but the hull of the ship suddenly tilted to an angle of almost ninety degrees after a howling sound of breaking wind.Lin Qiubai reacted fairly quickly, grabbing the railing with one hand and the little soldier with the other, barely securing the two of them to the boat.

Then, he saw countless frozen companions who didn't know whether they were dead or alive fell into the sea like dumplings, but he was helpless.

Then looking up, Lin Qiubai was stunned—on the side of the Black Tail facing the huge waves, which was now raised high, the upper body of a strong man was exposed, and he was "standing" firmly in the sea like that, The arms are open, as if exerting force, and the blue blood vessels on the arms are clearly visible.In that conservative era when fitness was not popular, Lin Qiubai had never seen such a powerful and beautiful body.

A huge wave with a height of [-] meters rolled and roared in front of the man, but it still couldn't pass him half a step.The man tried his best to block the wave, and it seemed that the sky would collapse at any moment.

The man was in a stalemate with the huge wave for half a minute, and at the same time as the man made a sound like the cry of a whale, the huge wave was driven back into the sea, and the man was finally exhausted at this moment, and his body fell backwards. Lying on the side of the ship.That location is not far from Lin Qiubai, just near the top of his head, even within reach, but Lin Qiubai only has two hands after all, whether he is holding on to the little soldier or holding on to the man who just saved him , Lin Qiubai had a hard time making a choice.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Qiubai whispered "I'm sorry" and then let go of the hand holding the little soldier. Watching his body, which was extra heavy because of carrying a gun on his back, fall into the deep sea, the little bit of temperature left in his body was falling into the deep sea. The instant it entered the sea, it turned into a wisp of faint steam.

Lin Qiubai tried his best to do a one-handed pull-up to climb onto the side of the ship, grabbed the man's wrist before the Black Tail sank completely, pulled him over and put him in his arms, wanting to see if he was still alive; If he was still alive, with his ability, even if he was alive, he could always save his life.

And before Lin Qiubai took him in front of him and immersed him in the sea, Lin Qiubai seemed to see that on this man's face, under the wet long black hair, on the position of the cheekbones, there were a few black fish-like scales .Lin Qiubai seemed to understand what was the subject of this investigation, but everything seemed to be too late. He carried this handsome "man" with scales into the sea, and lost consciousness after drowning and suffocation in a panic.

Lin Qiubai regained consciousness again, and he was already lying on the reef by the coast.The sea breeze gently brushed his cheeks, and he woke up comfortably. His mind was unexpectedly calm, but he was taken aback by the pair of dark eyes with pupils thinner than cats against the background of the fiery red sunset.

It turned out that the man who saved him did not die, nor did he leave, but sent him back to land.Seeing that Lin Qiubai had woken up, the man raised his eyebrows, and said in a tone of indifference, "I'm sure I'm awake. I spent so much effort to save one. I'm incompetent."

Lin Qiubai tried his best to calm down, looking at the man with a strong upper body, his arms resting on the reef, and his lower body submerged in the sea water. Instead of legs, he had a fish tail. Suddenly, what the little soldier said came to mind. One word - Poseidon.

Later, Lin Qiubai thought about why he had such an idea. On the one hand, it might be because he saved him. On the other hand, this person has sharp edges and corners, deep and handsome features, and basically has no flaws. Such a perfect skin, it seems It is only found in myths and legends.

But in fact, rather than saying it was a fish tail, it was more like the tail of a huge boa constrictor, because except for the dorsal and tail fins that he couldn't see clearly, the overly slender tail was more like a snake.

Lin Qiubai had too many questions and surprises in his mind for a while, and he didn't know where to start.The last thing he blurted out was a question that had nothing to do with the "Sea God" in front of him, "What's the date today?"

"Sea God" was also taken aback, and then replied, "Thirteen."

Thirteen!I actually fell into a coma at sea for three days!

Isn't the due date of wife Han Mei also today?

Thinking of this, Lin Qiubai still has the heart to care about other things, let alone a "Sea God" who can speak human language in front of him, even if it is the snake spirit in "Gourd Baby", he doesn't have time to look at her more!

Lin Qiubai stood up scrambling, clasped his fists at the "God of the Sea", said, "There will be a time later!" he turned around and started to leave; what is researching a subject, what is being famous in history, what is meeting a god?If you can't even get the happiness of the world, what is the difference between yourself and those Europeans under the Pope's rule in the eleventh and twelfth centuries?But at this moment, Lin Qiubai was stopped by "Sea God".

"Sea God" said, "Thank you for abandoning your companion and saving me."

Lin Qiubai couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart when he heard his abandoned companion, wondering if this was God's mockery of selfish human beings.I really have no choice.If I hadn't let go, the result was very likely that two people would drown in the sea together. After all, I didn't know that the person in front of me was just tired, lying on the side of the boat to sunbathe and rest for a while; Let yourself survive, don't you?

He really wanted to see his unborn child so much.

"You're welcome. If you really want to thank me, you can grant me three wishes. Have you read the story of the fisherman and the goldfish?" Lin Qiubai said.

"Sea God" frowned slightly, and said seriously, "I haven't seen it. But, I can give you a gift, which can save your life at the end of the day. Just wait for me." Then he turned around and jumped into the sea .

Not long after, he came back and spread out his palm, and there was a small piece of green, seaweed-like thing in his palm.Lin Qiubai was already very anxious at this moment, he just weighed his own strength and his strength, and felt that he had no chance of winning, so he obediently waited here.Seeing that he had come back now, he took the seaweed and turned around without saying a word, and ran towards the direction where there seemed to be people in the distance.

Lin Qiubai's "Thank you!" echoed across the coast

Lin Qiubai didn't know how far he had to run before he saw someone, and he didn't know how he slapped someone's tractor and entered the city.Fortunately, he landed at a lucky place, which was near the city where he lived, which saved him from the life challenge of train fare evasion, and rushed to the hospital in the early morning just after twelve o'clock.

Rushing into the gate of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital, Lin Qiubai saw the doctor wearing a thick white mask asking people, "Are you from Han Mei's family?" from a distance.

"I am! I am Han Mei's family member!" Lin Qiubai shouted from afar.

"Follow me quickly! Han Mei has a difficult labor, and the fetus is in an abnormal position. I'm afraid it's impossible to keep it!"

Lin Qiubai felt a thunderbolt in an instant, his legs softened and he almost sat on the ground.He is not afraid of shipwrecks, or gods and monsters, but he is afraid of the doctor's words "I can't keep it".

"I want to see my wife." Lin Qiubai said.

The nurse stopped it at first, after all, not everyone can enter the operating room at will.But the doctor sighed, waved his hands and said, "Let him in!"

Lin Qiubai stumbled into the delivery room, and saw his always dignified and beautiful wife, Han Mei, lying pale and motionless on the delivery bed, her short black hair sticking to her face with sweat.

For the first time in Lin Qiubai's life, he was so frightened that he shed tears.

He threw himself on the side of the delivery bed, stretched out his hand and tremblingly touched his wife's face, "Xiaomei...Xiaomei is fine, I'm here...I'm back..."

Han Mei barely opened her eyes when she heard Lin Qiubai's voice, and said angrily, "I'm sorry... I really don't have the strength..."

What Lin Qiubai was most afraid of was this sentence, he even thought it was just a dream, he must still be floating in the sea, how could such a thing happen to him.Impossible, no.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.Lin Qiubai hurriedly found the green seaweed from his pocket.Since it can save his life, it must be a panacea, right?Why not try it yourself?If his wife and children are gone, what's the point of living longer?

"Xiaomei, do you trust me?" Lin Qiubai asked.

Han Mei nodded slightly with all her strength.

Lin Qiu said, "Eat it!"

At the same time, a group of plainclothes is rapidly approaching Lin Qiubai; and regarding the end of the Kuroshio, the research force of the second level has been quietly selected and quickly assembled.

The author has something to say: OK, the newborn is your hero
