On the Ark

"Ha, I thought you really went to call your girlfriend. Wait, isn't Skadi that who?" Tangmaru's focus and reaction were obviously different from others.

Lin Ye looked around, and finally set his sights on Lan Po, who hadn't finished talking for a long time.

"Lan Du, do you have any ideas?" Lin Ye asked.

"my thoughts?"

"Yeah, you are the one who knows that aspect best among us, so I want to hear your thoughts."

"Hmm...Okay." When everyone's attention was on Lan Po, she was still a little nervous, but she quickly got used to it, and said softly, "First of all, what I want to know is, Doctor Lin Ye, are you sure the phone is connected?"

Lin Ye nodded: "Of course, I stayed outside for about half an hour, so I can be sure that the phone is connected."

"But Miss Scati has been silent."

"Yes." Lin Ye smiled wryly, "Or, I'm not even sure if Skadi is on the other side. But I think it's probably not there, otherwise she would have no reason not to speak."

"Since this is the case... then let's discuss two possibilities. One is that the call was made by Miss Skadi, and the other is not." Lan Du said, "Let's talk about the first possibility first. If the call It was Miss Skadi who called you, but she didn't speak, so it can only mean that she couldn't speak at that time. It may be because of her own reasons, or it may be because of the special environment she is in, and there is no way to speak."

"If that's the case, why did she still call me?" Lin Ye was a little puzzled.

"Send information." Magellan took Lin Ye's question, and at the same time expressed his doubts, "When I was in the scientific research station, I also encountered a similar situation, but it was not so strange. Generally speaking, Text messages are a more secure way to transmit information than calls. If Miss Skadi can't speak, but wants to contact you, why not use text messages? Miss Skadi should be able to send text messages."

Lin Ye nodded, "That's for sure."

Zenmaru, who had been listening to the sidelines, thought for a while, and expressed his own opinion: "Blind? Can't see the phone screen? Can only reluctantly make calls according to past habits? The reason why I can't speak is because... ...the throat is broken?"

Chan Wan's guess made Lin Ye feel a picture in his mind, and then he shuddered suddenly.

"This, is this unlikely?" Lin Ye stammered.

Shuangye glanced at Zenwan, and said lightly: "You better stop talking nonsense."

Zenmaru scratched his head: "Uh, well, I'm just..."

"It's not impossible." Lan Du said softly, attracting everyone's attention again, "Although I don't want to think about it, we have to admit that it's not impossible. Miss Katie was probably seriously injured, unable to send text messages, unable to speak, all she could do was call Dr. Lin Ye... But since Miss Katie couldn't send text messages, then It's hard to type in the exact number."

"It's in the address book, right? The address book is a shortcut key." Magellan used his mobile phone as a demonstration, "If you enter the address book through the shortcut key, you only need two steps to make a call."

"Then why did you call Dr. Lin Ye?" Lan Du said, "The address book is arranged by surname, right? Dr. Lin Ye shouldn't be the first..."

"Because I'm the only one in Skadi's address book." Lin Ye said softly.

Now, everyone was stunned.

Lin Ye didn't know what his expression was. He just felt that his cheeks were terribly stiff, and he couldn't even squeeze out a smile: "Skadi told me that she hardly uses her mobile phone because no one I will look for her. At most, it will be Kelsey, but Kelsey has always called her, so she didn't remember Kelsey's number, but only mine..."

Lin Ye's voice became softer and weaker, and finally he couldn't continue because he thought of the conversation that day.

……

"You should add more people."

"You are enough. Goodbye, Lin Ye."

……

"I didn't expect Dr. Lin Ye to be the only one in Miss Skadi's address book." Lan Du obviously didn't expect that Skadi's social circle would be so small. This is not a social circle at all, it's a social spoon. "However, if this is the case, the probability of Miss Skadi seeking help from Dr. Lin Ye is higher. After all, if she is really seriously injured, only Dr. Lin Ye is her best contact... No, it is also the only one who can help her." contacted people."

Lin Ye looked up at Lan Po, his eyes were a little red: "What should I do?"

"Doctor Lin Ye, don't be in a hurry." Lan Du persuaded, "What we just said is only a possibility, and it is a possibility with an extremely low probability. After all, Miss Skadi's strength lies there, and , even if Miss Skadi was really injured like that, there should be a way to create some movement to remind you, but have you heard such a movement?"

Lin Ye calmed down a little under Lan Du's persuasion. He carefully recalled the communication with Skadi, and then slowly shook his head: "I'm sure, no. I can only hear the sound similar to the flow of water , and it is very light, it should not be very close. There is also the sound of wind..."

"That's it." Lan Po nodded, "If the call is really made by Miss Skadi, then she can't make any sound. Even if you put the phone by your side, you can still hear her Even if you just tap the microphone a few times, you can still hear the sound of 'dong dong dong'. But the fact is that you have not heard a similar sound at all, so the probability that this call is from Miss Skadi, It's very small."

Lan Du's explanation made Lin Ye relax a little.

"It's weird to hear your analysis." Zenmaru tilted his head, "Then if Skadi didn't make the call, who would it be?"

"This is another possibility." Blue Poison said softly, "But if this is the case, it means that Miss Skadi's mobile phone is no longer with her. Just like Miss Skadi's communicator, say Get up, Miss Skadi's mobile phone and the communicator used to communicate with Dr. Kelsey shouldn't be the same thing, right?"

Magellan nodded: "Indeed, Miss Skadi also has a special communicator to communicate with Dr. Kelsey. After all, mobile phones are unreliable in many harsh environments. And there is a positioning device on the communicator, we can Its signal was detected, and it has not moved since Miss Skadi disappeared."

Lin Ye looked at Magellan: "Where is it?"

"Approximately 2.6 kilometers from our current location."

"It's only 2.6 kilometers?" Lin Ye couldn't sit still, "Then why don't we just go over and have a look?"

"Because the 2.6 km is not on land," Magellan said, "it's on sea."

Lin Ye was taken aback.

"It's very likely an island in the sea." Magellan said, "I've looked at the map before I came here. There are many small islands in the town of Harlan, and it's very likely that Miss Skadi landed on one of the small islands." , at least her communicator is there. If it was in the sea, it would have been damaged by water."

"And those islands are also the main target of this joint operation." Lan Du said, "Once the powerful deep-sea creatures land on the shore, they will not go back easily. It is very likely that they will live in shallow sea areas or even on the shore for a period of time. Both Because of the freshness, it is also for eating. Let’s use the town of Harlan as an example. This town has a total of more than 1000 residents. Even the largest deep-sea creatures will take a while to digest them. of."

Lan Du's explanation sent chills down the spine of everyone present.

"That is to say, if the town of Harlan was really attacked by deep-sea creatures, then there is a high probability that this deep-sea creature will stay nearby?" Shuangye said softly, "No wonder the Ursas military We have to look for partners, if we rashly explore here, it is very likely that we will be completely wiped out, right?"

"That's true. Of course, the main reason is that this is not the territory of Ursus, and they have no way to send a large number of troops." Blue Poison said, "And the Ursas military doesn't have much experience in hunting large creatures."

"But since even a powerful deep-sea hunter like Miss Skadi has suffered, does it mean that traditional experience is not of much use in this incident?" Magellan expressed his doubts again.

But no one can answer.
