Embrace the light

After the uncle driver left, several people began to walk around in the protective cover.

"According to the introduction of the scenic spot, we are now in the deep sea area." Mino introduced, looking at the endless sea water around him.

"That's the first time I've seen someone directly drive a speedboat to the deep sea." Alex sighed while touching the protective cover.

Gene pointed to the sea outside the protective cover, "Didn't you find that the road was calm all the way?"

The rock top where everyone is now is about 500 meters away from the sea surface. Looking around, the sea surface with a radius of a hundred miles is full of calm water, as quiet as a mirror.This may be the reason why the scenic spot chooses to use speedboats to reach the 'ends of the earth'.

Ian stood beside Heng and looked at the sea in the distance together.

Ian said: "Now we are really standing in the middle of the ocean, which is different from the feeling of flying over the ocean by plane. Just thinking about 'standing' in the middle of the ocean, I feel that my heart has become wider."

Harvey agreed: "Yes, yes. After the tide rises, we will really see 'the sea is wide and the fish leaps' up close."

Ian picked up his phone and started to take pictures of seascapes, seabirds, sky, partners, and Heng.

Although Heng is facing the camera with his back, but with the vast sea and sky as the background, the photos taken are still very artistic.

Heng will not pose in a coordinated manner when Ian's camera is aimed at him like the others. Heng will not refuse Ian's shots, but he will not deliberately pose. He just meets Ian's eyes through the camera. , safe as usual.

There was still an hour before the official high tide. After admiring the sea scenery and taking many beautiful photos, everyone felt bored.

Harvey opened the food box and took out some snacks to share.

"Cousin, will you not be able to go back to the Imperial City often when you go to Al Star for further training?" Harvey asked with some distress.

Mino nodded, "I'm not here, but Alex, Gene, and Liang Xiao are all staying in the Imperial City. If you're bored, you can ask them out to play together, but they should be busy with homework. Do you have time to accompany you?" Hard to say."

Alex was puzzled, "It stands to reason that your lively and lovable personality should be very popular in school? Why can't you find a close friend?"

Harvey retorted: "Of course there are many drinking and meat friends and acquaintances who nod, but I really haven't met anyone I really want to hang out with."

Mino pointed to Ian, "An'an is resident in the imperial capital, if you really can't find anyone to play with, you can go to An'an."

Ian nodded, "I can cook delicious food for you. As for playing together, you can find Heng. Heng is very good at shooting and shooting games."

"Okay." Although Heng was relatively indifferent, Ian was very soft and easy to get along with. Harvey silently decided that he could have a deep friendship with his cousin's friends.

"How about we play a game? It's boring to stay here anyway." Jessica suggested.

There was no objection from the crowd, and Jessica continued to speak.

"How about playing truth or dare? In this vast ocean, everyone also opens their hearts."

Jessica took out a can of drink from the food box and put it on the stone table.

"Just use this jar as a prop, who are the top and bottom points to, and let the 'top people' ask the 'bottom people'."

Everyone agrees, and the game officially begins.

Ladies first, so Jessica does the first spin.The top points to Alex and the bottom points to Mino.

"Excuse me, is your first time still there?"

Mino rolled his eyes at Alex, "Yes."

Then it is turned by Alex, with the top pointing at Ian and the bottom pointing at Jessica,

"Excuse me, what is your favorite gift?"

Jessica replied, "The ring."

"What? Brother Xiao already gave you a ring?" Alex was surprised.

Jessica shook her head, "It wasn't from Liang Xiao."

"Uh." Alex paused, seeing that Liang Xiao's expression was normal, but he was afraid of touching Jessica's white moonlight and cinnabar mole, so he quickly shut up and didn't ask.

Ian turned the can so the top pointed at Harvey and the bottom pointed at Gene.

"Excuse me..." Harvey smirked, and Gene swung the knife at him with his eyes.

"Excuse me, brother Jin, when was your first love?"

"University." Gene answered very simply.

The game was played for half an hour, but none of them pointed at Heng and Liang Xiao.

"So lucky?" Mino was surprised, "Both of you have never been transferred."

Harvey said, "I have pushed very slightly, but the bottle still went over Liang Ge to Jessica."

After playing a few more rounds, this time it finally switched to Heng and Liang Xiao.The top points to Heng, and the bottom points to Liang Xiao.

Ian looked at Heng's profile curiously, wondering what questions he would ask.

"The one thing I'm most afraid of."

Liang Xiao replied: "It's painful to lose what I love."

Although Alex and Harvey really wanted to ask again, did this "loved" refer to relatives, lovers, hobbies, work, etc., but when they started eating lunch, the bottle did not transfer to Liang Xiao.

The food in the lunch box was still steaming hot.Sitting in the middle of the sea and eating is also a unique and wonderful experience.

After everyone had finished eating, they put the food waste and lunch boxes back into the food boxes, stood beside the protective cover and looked at the sea.

But the situation changed quickly. First, the sea level rose rapidly. When the distance from the high ground where everyone was about 300 meters away, the waves began to surge, and the waves hit the stone island and made a loud noise.After more than ten minutes, the waves began to gather, and one wave after another was approaching in the distance, and it became a huge wave when it approached Shidao.

Everyone only saw the huge blue waves coming from the top, and then hit the protective cover. For a moment, everyone had the illusion of being submerged in sea water.

"I suddenly felt that I might have deep-sea phobia." Harvey hid behind Mino, clutching the hem of Mino's clothes as he did when he was a child.

"Don't worry." Mino patted Harvey, "The protective cover is very strong, no matter how bad it is, there's still the captain."

Yi An asked Heng beside him, "Heng, are you afraid?"

Heng shook his head, and Ian continued to take pictures of the seascape with his mobile phone in peace.

One wave retreated, and soon another wave came again. Under the tumbling white waves was a hundred-meter water wall, rushing towards everyone with overwhelming momentum.

Stone Island was quickly submerged again, this time about 30 seconds later before the waves receded again.

After the huge waves struck several times, groups of gray and black figures suddenly appeared in the distant wave crests.

"It's a dolphin!" Harvey exclaimed in surprise.

"In Senlanxing, dolphins are called 'Laughing Toothed Whales'." Mino corrected.

"That's better called 'Dolphin', 'Laughing Whale' what the hell, it sounds a little neurotic." Harvey retorted.

Ian and others all took pictures with their mobile phones to record the scene of the dolphins playing in the waves.

Heng suddenly reached out and moved Ian's phone to the side.

"Heng?" Ian looked at Heng suspiciously.

"Look with your eyes."

Ian nodded and followed Heng's suggestion.

The dolphins in the distance come chasing the waves all the way, their speed is faster than the waves, jumping from the tail to the crest of the waves all the way, and finally leave the huge waves behind, as if they are leading the waves all the way forward.

Ian can feel the freedom and joy of these dolphins, watching them jump forward and come straight towards him.

As the waves submerged the protective cover again, dolphins jumped over the heads of everyone.Because they were very close, Ian heard them making "wa~e~" calls, which were very cute, as if they were coquettish.

As soon as a huge wave passed, several more came one after another, but there were no cute dolphins in the latter ones.

Constantly submerged, and then surfaced again, this may be the origin of the name "Tianya Haijiao".At this moment, this place is isolated from the world, only the boundless sea around and the vast sky above.

The second wave followed the waves were whales, their backs were black and their bellies were white when they jumped up.

It may be because their size is much larger than that of dolphins, so although there are not many whales in this group, when they jump in the waves, they always have a menacing meaning.

"This big guy, won't break through our protective shield?" Alex expressed concern.

Facts have proved that when the whales arrived in front of them, the huge waves had already covered the top of the protective cover far away. Before everyone could look up and see the whale's belly clearly, the huge waves took them away together.

"This is very similar to the 'Killer Whale' of our Imperial Star." Ian said.

"Is that the one with the alias 'Killer Whale'?" Alex asked.

Ian nodded, and Alex rubbed his arms a few times, "No wonder, it looks menacing."

The huge waves became higher and higher, and after a while, everyone was completely submerged in the sea water. When they looked up, they could see beams of sunlight shining in, and the water surface was sparkling.

"It's the underwater world now haha." Jessica said excitedly.

Harvey said worriedly: "The oxygen supply here should be sufficient, but I always feel a little breathless."

Mino tapped Harvey's chest lightly, "Ann, everyone is with you, don't be nervous. From the moment we come in, what we breathe is not the air on the sea surface. The oxygen supply equipment here is very complete , let go of your caution."

"Look ahead." Ian motioned Harvey to look forward, and saw tens of millions of fish swimming towards everyone.

They have different colors and colorful colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple.

"This is the rainbow fish, the special fish of Senlanxing." Minuo said.

Fortunately, among the eight people, none had trypophobia.

The dense school of fish did not swim fast, and even a few rainbow fish swam back and forth around the protective cover a few times.

Ian stared at one of the fish for a few seconds, and when it turned to leave, he asked Heng beside him: "Would it be strange for us staying in the protective cover? We don't have fins and tails, and we wait Staying in place, not swimming forward.”

Heng replied: "Didn't it mean that the fish's memory is only seven seconds? After seven seconds, it will forget our existence."

Ian shook his head, "If their memory is really only seven seconds, why do they remember where is the best place to forage and where is the best place to reproduce?"

Mino agreed with Ian, "I think so too."

It took about 10 minutes for these fish schools to go away. After the fish schools passed, the sea water still did not recede, and everyone was still submerged in the sea water.

Everyone's eyes are still looking at the direction where the waves came before, waiting for the arrival of the next batch of marine life.

When large bat-like fish schools came one after another, the sea water in front seemed to become turbid, with black, white and blue mixed.

Some "bats in the sea" stopped and completely stuck themselves on the protective shield in front of everyone's eyes. They looked like gray and white kites hanging one by one.

It's just that when the "kite" was staring at everyone, although it was "smiling", it looked very strange.

"This is a sea ray, similar to the ray in our imperial capital." Mino explained.

These sea rays, which were attached to the protective cover to observe everyone in the cover, remained motionless until the large army was almost out of sight, then they retreated a little, turned over and continued to swim away.

"I always feel that it's not us visiting them, but they are watching us." Alex said.

In the following time, a variety of marine life, such as piper whales, sea blue whales, sea tuna, kelp fish, long sticklebacks, green turtles, etc., came in turn.

Ian likes the star jellyfish the most. They are as big as umbrellas and as small as lotus leaves. They are colorful and sparkling, and their long tentacles are distinct. In this deep blue ocean, they look elegant and supple. The knotting situation seen in the museum.

Heng raised his head to look at the top of the protective shield, and Ian also looked up along his line of sight. It turned out that the light above his head had dimmed before he knew it.

No wonder these jellyfish can be seen glowing brightly.

The rest of the people also looked at the top of their heads. It was so dark in the protective cover. If it wasn't because the sea water had risen a lot, they were far away from the sea level, or because the weather had changed and the light on the sea had weakened. .

"Now is a good time to admire these glowing jellyfish, don't worry, we will see later."

After listening to Mino's words, Ian refocused his mind on the dreamy beauty in front of him.

After the starry jellyfish, we ushered in some small jellyfish, the size of a head, mostly pink.

"The scenic spot guide said that this is the peach blossom jellyfish. Seeing the peach blossom jellyfish means that love is coming. After the peach blossom jellyfish passes, there should be some octopuses."

After waiting for a while, I saw some octopuses swimming towards me.

The color of octopus is not as diverse as that of jellyfish. The octopus group in front of us is mainly gray-brown, and some larger ones are black.

"This should be the king octopus, right?" Harvey pointed to the middle of the octopus group, which was a long-tentacled octopus bigger than a truck.

Its head seems to have a red hat, and the rest is completely black.

Ian suspects that the King Octopus should be able to completely wrap the protective cover, but the King Octopus probably has no such interest.

When passing the protective cover, the octopus king did pause, stared at the eight people inside the protective cover for more than ten seconds, touched the protective cover a few times with the two top tentacles, and then left with the octopus group .

There are several waves of octopuses behind, and it is reminded that each wave is bigger than the last wave. When these big octopuses swim through the protective roof together, it is already pitch black inside the protective cover.

After more than ten minutes, everyone saw the light again.

"Why do I feel that this wave is a bit like a big party in the deep sea."

Ian said hesitantly, and everyone nodded.

More than 20 minutes after the octopus swarm passed, the sea water gradually subsided, and everyone was able to see the sky again.

But at this time the sky is no longer blue, but black clouds overwhelm the top, with heavy rain pouring down.

The outer layer of the protective cover should be made of special material, and the sound of rainwater hitting it is not very noisy.

Until five o'clock, there were no more marine life on the surface of the sea.At this time, there was a sudden ringing of a bell on the door of the security box, and then the radio rang.

"I'm very sorry, passengers and friends. We encountered extreme weather today, heavy rain and huge waves. We are deeply sorry that the scenic spot can't pick you up within the normal time. According to the observation of the meteorological center of the scenic spot, it is estimated that the sea will not be clear until [-] o'clock tomorrow morning. Calm will return, then we will send a cruise ship to pick you up. If you have run out of food in the food box prepared today, please don’t panic. There is enough drinking water and water for eight people in the safe box for a month. Compressed biscuits, etc., and the oxygen in the protective cover is enough to last for a month. Once again, we would like to express our deep apologies to all passengers and friends, and please do not panic. If you have any special circumstances, you can press the red button in the safety compartment to contact us get in touch."

The notice was broadcast three times in total. After listening to it, the eight people returned to the round table and sat down together.

"It's really the first time to spend the night at sea." Mino sighed, and then patted his cousin on the shoulder, "Are you okay? You won't cry to find your mother at night, will you?"

Harvey clapped his hands away, "Don't underestimate me, after staying for a long time, my 'fear of the deep sea' was healed by these wonderful marine life."

Mino shrugged, "That's good."

"Hey, little Harvey," Alex said, "if you're really too scared to sleep in the middle of the night, I wouldn't mind lending you my broad chest to lean on."

Harvey rolled his eyes at him.

Around 07:30, everyone finished their dinner.For dinner, there are snacks and snacks left in the food box, as well as compressed biscuits taken from the safe box.

Ian quite likes this kind of biscuit, it tastes a bit like the soda biscuit sold in the store, but tastes better.

Now the rain outside is getting lighter, and the waves on the sea are churning, but not surging. The sea level is now about 100 meters away from the top of the rock.

Gradually, the sea slowly returned to calm.

When the dark clouds cleared, the moon appeared in the sky.

The moonlight is the usual bright and silvery white, but the surrounding clouds are a kind of lavender, and there are thousands of twinkling stars hidden in the clouds.

Yi quietly admired the scenery of the sea at night, and suddenly saw a cheerful jumping figure in the reflection of the moon.

It was the dolphins of Senlanxing, and they were advancing in groups again, but this time they were heading towards the moon.

Ian took some photos with his mobile phone, and then watched the sea elves gradually disappear.

"An'an, look this way."

Ian heard Mino's call and walked in the opposite direction to where the moon was.

On the surface of the dark blue almost black sea, there are many colorful ribbon-shaped creatures.They are shining brightly, and when they get closer, they can still hear the cry of "xi~u~xi~u~".

Mino has never seen the name of this creature in the scenic spot viewing guide, so let's call it "ribbon fish".

These ribbon fish covered the sea surface with a radius of more than ten kilometers. They swam from afar and then went away by the moonlight.

There were a few waves of marine life shining with colorful lights swimming around, and everyone took pictures with their mobile phones as a souvenir of this special night.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Ian said goodnight to everyone, and brought Heng back to the safe compartment to rinse his mouth and wash his face, then lay on his back on the safety seat and got ready to fall asleep.

Later, Jessica, Liang Xiao, Harvey, Gene, Alex and Mino entered the safety box one after another, and fell asleep lying on their backs on the safety seat.

At three o'clock in the morning, Mino was woken up by the need to urinate. After he went to the bathroom next to him for convenience, he suddenly felt no sleepiness.

Stepping lightly out of the safe box, Mino walked to the stone bench beside the round table and sat down.

At this time, the moon was already in another direction, and the purple clouds around it had dissipated, and the unobstructed bright moon was more radiant, reflecting the entire sky and sea water in the same color, blue and clear.

There are stars shining in the sky and sparkling lights in the sea.

The ocean at night is quiet and vast.

Mino took out the sworn conch he accidentally found in the morning from his pocket, put it in his mouth and blew it gently a few times.

The sound made by the conch is deep and distant. On this quiet sea, it seems to be telling ancient stories in the sea.

Hearing the sound of the safety compartment door opening, Mino stopped moving, and looked over, it turned out to be Ian.

"Sorry An'an, I woke you up."

Ian shook his head, "I can't hear the sound of conch shells inside. I'm in bed and I can't fall asleep. I saw you come out, so I got up."

Mino nodded and blew the conch again.At this moment, Mino's heart is peaceful and quiet, and the sound of playing also has a sense of peace and tranquility.

Ian listened for a while and clapped his hands lightly in appreciation.

"How about I take a picture of you and make a video of you playing the conch?"

Mino nodded, he couldn't sleep anyway, and being idle here was also idle.

"Then let's walk this way so that the sound won't disturb them."

Ian followed Mino to the place farthest from the safety box. The two stood still. Mino took out the conch and made a gesture of playing. After taking pictures from several angles, Ian showed the photos to Mino.

A handsome young man is playing softly with a conch in his hand. Half of his face is bathed in the brilliance of the moonlight, while the other half is hidden in the dark. At this time, the sea and the sky meet, and the ice wheel hangs high as the background. The whole photo looks mysterious and romantic. .

"An'an, your camera skills are the best I've ever seen."

Ian smiled, "Nonuo is good-looking."

Mino picked up the conch again and blew it lightly, an ancient and melodious rhythm came out.

Ian dutifully acted as a "photographer" and perfectly recorded Mino at this moment in his mobile phone.

Hearing the sound of the safety box opening again, neither Ian nor Mino interrupted their actions until the end of the song, and it was Heng who came out.

Ian walked up to Heng and asked him in a low voice: "Heng, can't you sleep too? Or did we wake you up?"

"No."

"That's good." Ian felt relieved, "The sea at three o'clock in the morning is really beautiful. Spending the night on the sea is actually a good travel option."

"If you like it, I'll be free in the future. Let's go on a sea trip together, okay?"

"Yes." Ian nodded happily, "I will work hard to save money, and then take Heng, and Nuonuo to travel to various beautiful planets."

Mino embraced Ian with his arms and touched his fist lightly to show that the agreement was fulfilled.
