Chapter 15, Floating Head


This sunken ship is not as rich as I imagined. We almost swam through the upper and lower cabins, but we didn't find anything of much value. It made me feel a little cautious. It was really dark inside. , and when I think of the floating corpse just now, I feel even more terrified.

Shunzi also felt a little uncomfortable. He motioned for us to go back first. Mai Lao nodded and gestured. There was the last cabin ahead. He meant that after checking this cabin, we would return to the fishing boat. It happened to be now There is not much oxygen left, half an hour at most.

The three of us marched forward again. This cabin was the last cabin at the stern. When we arrived at the hatch, my heart was beating very hard. I always felt that there was something ulterior and terrifying inside. I thought about the

floating corpse just now. I have been in the army for many years and I thought I was fearless, but I didn’t expect that I would still have moments of fear.

Mr. Mai stepped forward and tried to open the hatch with force, but the hatch was very tight. It was obvious that Mr. Mai was struggling. I quickly stepped forward to help him. The two of us worked together, but This time, the hatch was indifferent. No matter how hard we tried, we just couldn't open it. When Shunzi saw that neither of us could do it, he quickly put down the light in his hand and came to help.

This time the three of us exerted force at the same time, and each of our faces turned red from suppressing it. The resistance under the deep sea was too great. Excessive exertion like this was very exhausting. The three of us persisted for a while, and exerted force for several times in a row. This time, there was finally some movement in the hatch, and it creaked open a thin crack.

As soon as the tiny crack leaked out, I clearly felt a strong pressure rushing out from inside, causing the surrounding seawater to drop a lot in temperature instantly. I shivered all over. I looked at them both, they were not much better than me, and they both swam to the side quickly.

We waited for about ten minutes before the temperature of the surrounding seawater slowly rose. The cold current seemed to have disappeared. The three of us looked at each other, a little uncomfortable with what had just happened. Understanding, why is there such a huge pressure in this cabin? Mr. Mai motioned for us to go over and try again.

The three of us gathered at the cabin door again, and then we exerted our strength at the same time. This time, the cabin door was slowly opened by us, but the opening space was very small, and we could only go in sideways. Alone, no matter how hard we tried, the hatch seemed to be welded shut and would not move at all.

The three of us were exhausted. I felt like my hands were about to leave my body. I glanced at the oxygen and saw that there was not much oxygen left. I had to hurry up and return. I made a gesture. , preparing to go in first, I threw the speargun to Shunzi, casually took his lighting, and turned sideways to turn into the cabin.

But the space was really too small. When I turned sideways to go in, I was stuck by the oxygen bottle at the back. No matter what I did, I just couldn't get in. Mai Lao and Shunzi also came over to help, but It just doesn't work. The oxygen bottle is stuck on the hatch. If you want to get in, you have to remove the oxygen bottle.

Mai Laoyi couldn't see in, so he gestured and said, 'First use the lighting to see what's going on inside. '

I picked up the lighting and took a look first. Due to the limited angle and visibility, I couldn't see anything of much value. Directly opposite the hatch of the ship, I could see vaguely I seem to see a big cabinet inside. I don't know exactly whether it is. Mai Lao and Shunzi also observed behind me for a while. They both shook their heads and said that they couldn't see anything. It seemed that they had to go in. OK.

It suddenly occurred to me that I could first extend my arm into the cabin door, and then use the lighting to observe the surrounding situation. I quickly turned sideways and stretched the arm holding the lighting into the cabin. I reluctantly stuck my head in. This cabin was much darker than the other cabins. The first feeling it gave me was like a bottomless abyss. The visibility of the lighting here was only about one meter at most. What the hell What's going on?

I took the light and shot it back and forth, but I still couldn't see anything. Just when I was about to take it back, I used the light of the light and suddenly saw a human face appearing in front of my eyes. This human face has been distorted to an indescribable degree, the entire facial muscles have rotted away, and the lower jaw is gone. Those eyes like dead fish stared at me, as if they were trying to convey some kind of emotion to me. The message is the same.

I was stunned by the sudden sight in front of me. The most terrible thing was that this human face had only one head and nothing underneath. For a moment, I didn't react for two or three seconds. Waiting When the blood all over my body rushed to my brain, I suddenly woke up. I yelled "woo" and quickly pulled my arm back.

Because I moved too fast, I knocked Mai Lao and Shunzi away from behind. I guess the oxygen bottle was installed on Shunzi's head. Shunzi covered his head with one hand and hit him with the other. Gestures asking me, 'What's wrong?' Scared me. ’

Mr. Mai also gestured, ‘Have you seen a ghost? Why are you in such a hurry? '

I was panting. Under the deep sea, none of the three of us could speak. It was so quiet that it was a bit scary. I seemed to be able to hear my own heartbeat, surrounded by dark water. , but we are in a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea. I can't explain anything now. I gestured, "Go back first, the oxygen is almost gone." '

Mai Laoyi saw that there was indeed not much oxygen. He nodded, and the three of us marched back along the original route. I am not in any mood to stay here. That floating face is mine. The scariest thing I have ever seen, even scarier than the floating corpse before. What is hidden in that ghost cabin?

Since I started to set foot on this fishing boat, I have been exposed to things that I can't understand one after another. The sea is really an unknown world, and shipwrecks are an irresistible magic. Although I am a little frightened, my curiosity is still there. So strong, I must go into the cabin to see what kind of world it is.

On the way back, Mai Lao took something from the first cabin and left. It should be something like ceramics, but the original appearance was no longer visible. It was covered with moss and Some unknown marine plankton.

After the three of us left the sunken ship, we quickly went upstream. When we rushed out of the water, I found that the sun had not set. The setting sun was still shining on the sea, reflecting a layer of golden color, which was very beautiful. I was attracted by the scene in front of me, but just for a moment, I returned to reality. The sunken ship under the deep sea brought me a certain amount of pressure.

When the three of us returned to the boat, Mr. Mai showed the ceramics he brought out to Jiao Ba. After Jiao Ba cleaned up the porcelain bottles, he held them in his hand and looked at them carefully for a while and said, "Well, It is indeed something from the Ming Dynasty, from the workmanship and pattern Look, Ying Ge was from the Yongle period, that is, when Zheng He went to the West."

When Jenny heard Jiao Ba's words, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Really, we found it? The shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty”

"This thing must be from the Yongle period. Although it has been on the seabed for many years, the shape of the porcelain bottle is still round, smart, and delicate. It is absolutely unmistakable. But whether the sunken ship is from the Ming Dynasty or not, I can't make a conclusion now. It's best to put the sunken ship After salvaging it, I'll look at the other items," Jiao Ba said, pushing up his glasses.

Every time this grandson looks at antiques, he has to wear a pair of glasses. I reached out and took this porcelain vase over and looked at it. "It's really from the Ming Dynasty, but this thing doesn't look like it came from the palace." "Although I don't have the skills of Jiao Ba, I know a little bit about it. My grandfather also had a lot of cultural relics from the Ming Dynasty at home, but when the Sino-Japanese War broke out, they were all lost. No more fighting.

"Yeah, Brother Yi, you can do it. You can see this. Yes, this is not something from the palace, but it is definitely not from the people. It is most likely an official kiln, that is, Zheng He The items loaded on the ship when sailing to the Western Ocean," Jiao Ba said seriously as he looked at everyone. "Mr. Mai, when will we start salvaging?" Jenny couldn't wait. Her face was full of excitement. Even though she was the captain on the surface, in fact she didn't know anything. Most things had to be decided by Mr. Mai.
