After Barlow yelled, the young people behind him finally realized that besides them, there are other people on this island? !

Fang Ziming raised his hands, indicating that he did not have a weapon, and said loudly in English: "We have no malicious intentions, just want to come here to ask about the situation. Hey, you don't seem to be well?"

Barlow didn't answer, but stared at him vigilantly: "When I landed on the island, I didn't see any other ships near the landing point. How did you get to the island?"

"Well, that's a long story." Fang Ziming said vaguely on the spot: "Actually...we were abandoned here by our teammates. Yes, that's it. My partner and I found out about other teammates' Some secrets, and then they were exiled on this uninhabited island."

As he said, he elbowed Tang Yu, who nodded seriously: "Yes, they are doing some illegal things in the uninhabited sea of ​​Antarctica, the worst thing you can imagine they have done it all, and we don't want to be with them."

The girl named Grace stopped crying. She was attracted by the two strangers, and immediately screamed: "What? Are they illegally hunting whaling?"

Fang Ziming thought to himself: I haven't even come up with a suitable reason yet, girl, have you come to a conclusion so quickly?

Grace said angrily: "Oh, they are so bad!"

Fang Ziming touched his nose: "Ah...cough, yes, they are too bad."

Amos shook his head and said to the woman next to him, "Julianna, take care of Grace for me, you know what I mean."

"Yes, I understand." Juliana grabbed the blond girl and led her to the side, with a complicated expression on her face.

The little girl was hysterical just now because of her lack of life, but within a few minutes, she was distracted by two new strangers. Others in the team were still sad, but she had already started to yell at the whaling team for not being a good person up.

I really don't know whether to praise her for her quick brain, or to scold her for being too nervous.

On the other side, Fang Ziming and Tang Yu had already reached the shallows where the survivors settled.

Barlow still held the paddle: "Gentlemen, don't get any closer, believe me, keeping a proper safe distance is good for both of us."

Fang Ziming then stopped five meters away.

But in fact, this distance is almost non-existent, whether it is for him or Tang Yu.

"Next, I think everyone can exchange names and identities with each other." Fang Ziming pointed to himself: "I'm JACK, a tourist who came to explore the Antarctic."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the man on the left: "This is Tom, a tourist just like me."

Amos stepped forward and stood next to Barlow: "I am Amos, the deputy captain of a photography team. This is Barlow. He is a sailor. to work."

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to a group of young people behind him, and every time he pointed to one, a name popped up.

Nine shipwreck survivors, including two male cruise ship sailors, one female cruise ship attendant, and the rest are all members of the photography team.

Seeing a young man with black hair and black eyes in the crowd, Fang Ziming couldn't help asking, "They call you Jiang. Are you from Hua?"

Because both Fang Ziming and Tang Yu were only wearing goggles, their exposed yellow skin and short black hair had already clearly shown to others which continent they were from.

The young man who was named raised his head and glanced at them cautiously: "Jiang Ruiming, you?"

Fang Ziming smiled, with some warmth in his eyes: "We are also from Huaguo."

Meeting compatriots from the motherland in a foreign country, especially in such a desperate situation, the expression on Jiang Ruiming's face obviously relaxed a lot.

Through the exchange of names, Fang Ziming and Tang Yu successfully shortened the safe distance between the two sides, and finally succeeded in sitting in a group with the photographers, chatting with each other. .

Barlow didn't say anything to stop him, but he still kept the oars at hand.

The blizzard is still overwhelming.

In order to recover their physical strength more effectively, everyone gave up their plan to continue to rest on the shallows, and all moved to behind a few huge rocks on the island that could shelter from the wind and snow. Dozens of penguins gathered beside the rocks.

Seeing a group of strangers coming here, the penguins tilted their heads blankly and stared at them for a few minutes, then they didn't even move their feet, and turned their heads back as if nothing had happened.

Tang Yu looked interesting, so he simply picked up a small stone and threw it at the feet of a certain little penguin, luring him to go this way.

The others were not in such a good mood as Mr. Tang, they just sat silently and listened to the vice-captain talking to Jack.

"So, you are in a shipwreck somewhere in the northern part of the South Sandwich Islands?" Fang Ziming sat on the left hand side of Amos. He watched the other party hand over the communication equipment to Jiang Ruiming, and asked in his mouth: "Convenient Can you tell me about your experience?"

Amos sighed slowly.

"I can see that you are definitely not ordinary polar tourists." The deputy captain of the photography team said to himself: "However, since everyone is trapped in this uninhabited sea now, as long as there is no deep hatred, I will I think we should be able to help each other.”

"So," Fang Ziming stared into his eyes and asked, "What happened to you?"

Amos rolled his Adam's apple twice, finally made up his mind, and said, "In the beginning, we were just sailing on the sea."

"The photography team's gathering is coming to an end, and everyone is very relaxed, so the captain and I found the captain of the cruise ship 'Polar Star' together. We want to go to other places before leaving the Antarctic Peninsula and crossing the Drake Passage. Turn around and take pictures of more icebergs." He explained: "In fact, this is something that we discussed with the captain before we set off. If this trip goes well, we can go to a few more places before returning. , of course, can’t deviate too far from the course.”

Fang Ziming: "So you chose the South Sandwich Islands?"

"We're not going to go further into the uninhabited sea, we just want to take a random turn around the South Sandwich Islands." Amos wiped off the snowflakes that fell on his forehead, and said softly: "Everything is fine until we broke into that inexplicable battlefield."

Fang Ziming: "The battlefield?"

Amos: "Yes, the battlefield."

He said dryly, "It was a battle between a small submarine and two people—well, maybe they just looked like people."

"Polar Star" is a small cruise ship that can carry up to [-] passengers.

The captain of the cruise ship is named Arthur. He goes to sea all year round and usually likes to receive some fixed teams, including various polar expedition teams and photography teams.And because the nature of the guests and tour groups it receives is different, the tour routes of the "Pole Star" and many other cruise ships are also somewhat different.

It is sometimes close to some undeveloped sea areas, so that the guests on board can work better.

Just like now, the "Polar Star" took more than 40 photographers under the wind and snow, and slowly circled the waters of the South Sandwich Islands.

"It's almost time." Captain Arthur clapped his hands, and said to the crowd on the deck who were still filming: "Misters and ladies, the Polaris is about to start its official return."

A group of young people laughed and applauded, some whistled, some held up their cameras, leaving the captain's full beard in the shot.

However, in the first hour of returning to the voyage, the "Polar Star" encountered trouble.

The waves with a height of more than ten meters formed quickly within ten seconds. They kept pushing the cruise ship to the sea north of the South Sandwich Islands. The weather became more and more severe. Arthur ordered all passengers to return to the cabin and began to respond to his subordinates' research plan.

During the second hour of drifting at sea, all communication equipment on the "Polar Star" failed, and a large number of whales and seabirds began to appear around the cruise ship.

The "Polar Star" was squeezed in the middle by two huge whales, and at the same time it was under the attack of terrifying wind and waves, gradually getting farther and farther away from the Drake Passage and South Georgia Island.

In the third hour, the storm subsided.

Many people in the rickety cabin, through the thick glass windows, saw a dark submarine surfaced.

There are many members of the photography team with high-power binoculars, which just come in handy at this time.

Someone raised the binoculars to observe carefully, and then found out in horror that there seemed to be a man in the direction the submarine was facing.

The other party was using his own feet to stand steadily on the sea level.

"What is that, is that... a human being?" The photographer ran out of his room and stammered, "Captain, Captain Hogan, I seem to see someone standing on the sea!"

Hearing this, Amos also took out the binoculars, squeezed in front of the window with Captain Hogan, and looked over in surprise.

On a certain piece of sea hundreds of meters away, a strange and miraculous scene is taking place at this time.

From the perspective of Amos, the left side of the telescope is the small submarine with no nationality.Only a small part of the upper part of the drop-shaped submarine was exposed, and Amos guessed that it should belong to the attack type submarine.

And directly opposite it, on the sea about twenty nautical miles away, a strange man in a thin gray windbreaker, a black top hat, and a gentleman's cane in his hand stood quietly on the top of the waves.

Amos moved the binoculars. Immediately afterwards, he saw groups of penguins, sea lions, blue whales, killer whales, and even fin whales. All animals surrounded the man, making a vague posture of guarding .

That scene was like...

It's like being surrounded by your own king.

He was still thinking to himself, when Hogan patted his shoulder unexpectedly.

The latter took a light breath and said, "Look, the whales that 'captured' us just now all swam in that direction."

Amos murmured, "It's as if they were summoned..."

Was it the man standing on the sea who did it?

××××××××××

"Grey windbreaker, black top hat, walking stick. Able to walk on the sea and summon marine life." Fang Ziming was thoughtful, his mind already like a mirror: "You mean, that guy was having a hot fight with a submarine at that time. ?”

Amos unscrewed his water bottle, raised his head and took a sip, and continued after a while: "It was like this at the beginning. That person set off a wave of [-] meters high, and directed the whale to ram the submarine, although' The Polestar's radar was out, but we could all tell that the sub had dropped at least six torpedoes."

The author has something to say:

Captain Arthur [turns on the communicator]: "Help! Help! SOS!"

Other ships: "Request received. Please tell what happened to you."

Arthur: "We've been kidnapped by a pod of whales and penguins! SOS!"

Other ships: "???"
