Chapter 75, Stinging Horse


I finally got rid of these sailors. No matter what I said is true or false, as long as it can have an effect, it doesn't matter whether it's unscrupulous or sorry for them. As of now, it can only be like this.

I smiled and nodded to the big man. Mr. Mai quickly said, "Okay, okay, since there's nothing going on, you go back to eat something first, and then rest. I'll leave the other things to you. We'll just take care of it."

The four sailors returned to the rest cabin first. After they left, Mr. Mai turned around and said to me with a smile, "Well done, that's it. The people's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team. Without your words, I think they would definitely not stay."

I forced a smile and said, "It's not that easy to go back, Mangming. It’s hard to find land in the sea.”

Jenny looked at me with gratitude and said, “Zhongyi, thank you.”

I touched my nose and said a little embarrassedly, "I have nothing to thank you for. I'm just telling the truth."

"Then I have to thank you too. Without you, the work behind this would still be impossible I really can’t expand on it.” Jenny smiled very sweetly, the kind of smile that came from the bottom of her heart.

"You don't have to be so polite. I am thinking about the overall situation. By the way, Mr. Mai, what should I do with the sailor's body?" I looked at Mr. Mai and asked.

Mai Lao turned to look at the corpse on the edge of the deck. He no longer looked human. The corpse was exuding a strong smell of blood. He said helplessly, "Let's wrap up the corpse first. Let’s bury him at sea tomorrow, hey, it’s another young life.”

Yes, this is a very young life. He was just in his early twenties and died like this. Anyone who sees it will feel pity and distress. The few of us first simply processed the body, nothing more than that. Let him look more decent, but his body is almost torn apart, so he can only do it reluctantly.

Then we wrapped the body again, leaving only the head exposed to make it look like he died peacefully, and then placed it on the side of the deck. Waiting until early tomorrow morning, we would give him a sea burial. In fact, it would be in vain no matter what. What's the point of doing this after you're dead? The purpose of doing this, in Mai Lao's words, is to show respect to the deceased.

After we finished disposing of the body, we had a simple meal, and then Mr. Mai invited a few of us to go to Jenny's resting room to discuss things. During this time, a lot of things happened, big and small. If we didn't discuss it seriously, As soon as I took the countermeasures, I found it difficult to continue.

I changed into clean clothes, stood up and asked Jiao Ba and Shunzi to come with them.

"Yi Ge, you go over first, I'll stay for a while before I go." Jiao Ba looked at a book in his hand and said to me without raising his head.

"What are you looking at? You're fascinated." I took a look at the book in his hand. To be precise, it seemed to be a notebook. It was in tatters. I don't know what it was. The outside was still green. It seems to be something from before liberation. Anyway, it is quite old.

"Check something, you guys go over there first, I'll find you later." Jiao Ba said without raising his head, and waved to us with one hand.

Shunzi and I looked at each other and let him go. The two of us came to Jenny's resting cabin. Mr. Mai was already here. He looked at me and said, "Where is Jiao Ba? He is asleep. "?"

"No, he is looking at something. He can come over later, we don't have to wait for him." I said and sat down, took out the cigarette and lit it. Two mouthfuls.

It was Mr. Mai who was the first to speak, "Zhongyi, we have to think of something this time. There can't be any more casualties. There are fewer and fewer sailors, and the work is getting harder and harder. "

I squinted my eyes and blew out smoke and said, "Me too We know we have to find a way, but what way can we think of? Mr. Mai, you also know that the deep sea is not land, and many times we can't control it at all. Let's take what happened today. If it weren't for the deep sea, that young man wouldn't be there. As for being able to die.”

I am telling the truth. People's activities under the deep sea are very restricted, and their movements are relatively much slower than on land. When encountering an emergency, it is difficult to escape in time. This is The most critical issue, no matter how meticulous the preparations are, is still stuck.

Mai Lao looked at me, nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. Even if we prepare everything, we may not be able to avoid the danger, but I really don't want to see any more casualties. "It's a rare occasion for this old guy to feel sad today. From his eyes, I seemed to see a trace of pity and sympathy.

“I don’t want to see death anymore, I can’t stand it anymore.” Jenny said next to her, her face also became very bad. Four people have died since they went to sea. She It’s not easy to hold on.

I smiled helplessly, took a puff of cigarette and said, "For safety matters, we can only do our best, and that's all we can do. Let's not talk about it for now. Mr. Mai, we just met under the sea. What on earth is that big black fish that arrived? Is it a fish?" I changed the subject and quickly asked the question.

“This. I really don’t know. It’s the first time I’ve seen this thing. I just checked the Marine Encyclopedia and there’s no such creature at all. What exactly it is, I can’t find out now. ." Mai Lao looked serious, and it could be seen that this old guy had tried his best.

"Is there really a sea monster?" Li Xin's voice sounded next to me, as if she was talking to herself, and I ignored her.

"I think not, Mr. Mai, could this just be a creature that has not been recorded by humans?" Jenny asked with an innocent expression.

I sneered and said, "It's not as simple as you think."

Shunzi suddenly said at this time, "By the way, Brother Yi, I remembered something, what you said Big Black Fish, could it be the black shadow you mentioned before?”

Shunzi's words reminded me that I had been thinking about what it was just now, but I forgot that I had encountered a black shadow. I thought about it carefully and found that there is a lot in common between the two. They are all fast, large enough, and they are all black, so they should be about the same.

"Listening to what you said, it seems that this is the case. Maybe this big black fish is really the black shadow that killed the mine." Although I feel the same, I am not completely sure.

Mr. Mai hurriedly added, "Then the roar you heard under the deep sea before was also made by this thing?"

Mr. Mai's words reminded me again. , not only the huge roar under the deep sea, but also the beast-like sound in the ears The wheezing sounds were all encountered in that sea area, but I really can't think of whether these have anything to do with the big black fish. If it is the same thing, then it is good to say that the danger is gone for the time being. But it would be terrible if it wasn't a thing.

I shook my head gently and said, "I don't know, there is no connection at all. I just heard some sounds. I'm really not sure whether it is."

Mai Lao thought for a moment and said, "The current underwater situation , generally we all understand it, but we don’t know if there is anything dangerous yet. If we can be sure that it is this big black fish, it will be easier to handle. If we can’t be sure, we will go to the sea tomorrow. The danger It’s still big.”

Shunzi said with a worried expression, "This is terrible. What the hell is that ghost?"

Just when the few of us could not come up with a result, Jiao Ba hurried over and he As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "I found it, I found it, I know what that big black fish is?"

His words made our eyes light up, as if we saw hope again, Mai Lao quickly asked, "What is that?"

The rest of us also asked questions, and Jiao Ba drank first. He drank the tea on the table, and then said with a serious face, "This is a very evil thing. It's called a pony." What? Stabbing foal? After Jiao Ba finished speaking, we were all dumbfounded. We looked at each other and didn’t know what to say. What the hell is this?
