Lin Wu pointed to the unusual condition on the sea surface and saw that the flow of the sea water nearby had accelerated.
Several people couldn't see it clearly, so they took a look through the telescope and their faces changed slightly.
"Oh no, we must leave here immediately!" said the crew member.
Generally, whirlpools are formed by the surging and interlacing of ocean currents, or by the movement of the earth's crust. No matter which one it is, the damage it causes is very serious. If the whirlpool is large enough, it is possible to sink a ship into it!
The crew immediately went back to change the sailing boat.
Gong Ye, Gu Shiqing and Mo Langzhongjun also went to collect the sails and anchors, check the situation on the ship to ensure safety.
Lin Wu used a tablet to find a suitable direction and sea area, and asked Bo Qi to take it and tell the crew to follow it.
"Hey, is there another whirlpool over there?" Ren Ke suddenly said, pointing in the direction they were heading.
She had good eyesight and immediately noticed something unusual in the distance.
Lin Wu looked and saw it too.
Gu Siyin used a telescope to find the crew and asked them to change direction.
In just a few minutes, the whirlpool that was discovered grew larger and larger, causing the nearby sea water to surge, and there was no longer any calm.
But at this moment the night was dark, with thick clouds covering the sky, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
"Lin Wu!" Ren Ke was looking through the telescope, and suddenly he thrust it into Lin Wu's hand and said nervously, "I feel like I saw it wrong. Come and take a look. Why do I feel like the vortex you found earlier is green and looks like something is burning?"
"???"
Lin Wu looked as he was told.
The whirlpool stirred the sea water, making it terrifying. But if you look closely, you can see a faint green light reflected in the rolling sea water, which becomes more and more obvious, as if something is floating up from the bottom.
At this time, Lin Wu discovered that several whirlpools appeared on the nearby sea!
Lin Wu didn't bother to see what it was and said, "Let's go! This sea area is not safe anymore."
Ren Ke hurried to find the crew.
Lin Wu went over to help Gong Ye and the others pack their things.
Soon, everyone on board knew about the accident.
Lu Guichi and Guan Chen both came out of the cabin to help.
The ship was about to sail out of this small sea area, but as more and more whirlpools appeared, the sea water surged violently, the hull shook, and the speed was limited.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look at the sea."
A layer of green fire appeared on the sea surface! Against the dark night sky and the turbulent waves, it was particularly terrifying. The source was the center of those whirlpools!
"What the hell? What the hell is that?!" Miyano stared in astonishment.
"...It's the phenomenon that occurs when the seabed phosphate ore burns under certain conditions!" Gu Shiqing knew a lot, but he couldn't figure it out. "Why would this happen for no reason?"
"It must be the volcano below!"
Lin Wu thought of the information he had found. "Professionals have conducted surveys before. The volcanoes under the sea in this area have recently shown signs of activity. We are unlucky. The volcano underneath has awakened at this time. Its activity has caused changes in the sea water. The hot air it spewed out ignited the phosphate deposits accumulated by the marine organisms, and the resulting fire has risen along the vortex that has appeared!"
"If the fire comes over here, should we..." Ren Ke hesitated.
A few people were slightly startled and asked the crew to speed up the boat. However, the sea was turbulent and large waves hit the boat, making it more difficult to sail.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, dark clouds pressed down, and a rainstorm came unexpectedly. But for some reason, it did not extinguish the green fire on the sea, but made the green fire burn even more fiercely, rolling towards the hull.
Everyone on the boat could hardly stand. The firelight burned their skin and it hurt. Even the rain falling on them was of no use.
Lin Wu felt something was wrong, very wrong!
She staggered to the side of the boat, wiped the rain off her face and looked down.
"There's something down there!"
"What we are experiencing is probably not a natural disaster, but something intentional!"
She turned around and shouted loudly, but her voice was drowned out by the sound of thunder, wind and waves. However, others still heard it vaguely and tried their best to keep themselves steady to avoid being thrown off the boat.
They couldn't leave this sea area anymore. They were surrounded by increasingly violent whirlpools that almost surrounded them. The green fire on the sea surface had already burned to the sea surface under the ship and was about to climb up.
A crew member ran out in a panic, shouting that the boat's engine seemed to be entangled and damaged, and the waterline of the boat sank greatly. There might be something entangled in the boat below! Several people's faces changed slightly, and Mo Lang and Chong Jun made a quick decision: "Let's go down and solve it!"
"No! The fire below is weird. What if the fire burns you even if you sink into the sea?" Ren Ke said.
Those were too weird, she didn't think they could be explained by common sense, going down would definitely be courting death! "If we don't do this, we'll also be waiting to die on the boat!" Miyano yelled, and he coughed again as the rain and sea water poured into his throat.
In a critical moment, Lu Guichi said: "I'll go!"
"I am more relaxed in the sea than you are. I am still an alien, they can't hurt me!"
"Wuwu, once the boat can move, if I don't get on board in time, you leave as soon as possible and I will come to find you!"
Lu Guichi turned around directly.
Guan Chen suddenly had a very strong idea, which drove him to tears with fear: "Lu Guichi!! You are not allowed to go!!"
Lu Guichi ignored him and wanted to jump into the sea.
At the critical moment, his body was suddenly grabbed by a huge force and was stuck on the railing.
He turned around and saw Lin Wu.
Lin Wu reached out to him, trying to pull him back.
Thinking about the strange situation in the sea and looking at Lu Guichi, Lin Wu understood everything in an instant and said angrily: "It's not your turn to go down! Tell me how to stop these! You know!!"
The others looked at him in shock, not realizing what Lin Wu was saying.
Guan Chen understood, and he staggered and crawled towards Lu Guichi, calling his name.
But Lu Guichi didn't look at him, nor at Lin Wu and the others. He just smiled and said goodbye, then waved his arm to break Lin Wu's control and jumped into the sea resolutely.
Disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
“Plop!”
The loud sound of someone falling into the water was heard again.
Guan Chen turned over without hesitation and jumped into the sea.
Lin Wu rushed over without thinking.
“Wuwu!”
Gu Shiqing and others were shocked.
"You'll be fine, just get out of here and don't come back!"
Lin Wu left these words and jumped into the sea.
The flames covering the sea surface instantly burned her, blurring Lin Wu's vision. Something slippery silently wrapped around her, suffocating her and dragging her into the deep sea.
Lin Wu was about to struggle when she caught a glimpse of two figures sinking like her below, and they disappeared in a few seconds.
Probably Lu Guichi and Guan Chen.
Lin Wu gave up struggling, closed his eyes and disappeared into the mysterious abyss. (End of this chapter)
