whale?
submarine?
Or a giant deep-sea fish?
Zhou Yu looked up and saw a black shadow speeding across the sea in the distance.
Confused, he quickly took out the telescope.
Just one glance and he suddenly became even more confused.
He hurriedly put down the telescope and quickly put away the treasure chest on the deck.
After making sure there were no traces left, he turned around and asked, "Were there any other ships nearby when I was diving just now?"
"No, ours was the only yacht nearby the whole time."
Li Er shook his head, his tone very firm.
When Zhou Yu was diving, he took the opportunity to get into the cab.
Although the yacht was not started, he was still fiddling with the instruments.
Based on what we learned previously, if there is a ship passing nearby, the radar will definitely show it.
But until Zhou Yu returned, there was no warning from the ship's radar.
"No? Is it on the other side of the island?"
Zhou Yu frowned, but then immediately denied this guess.
The island is not very large.
Because of the fear of accidentally running aground, the yacht was anchored at a location that was actually some distance away from the island.
Unless the other party is sailing within your field of vision, it is impossible not to be discovered.
But if there is no large ship following, the other party will be seeking death by driving a near-shore speedboat into the deep sea.
Although a speedboat is also a boat, its small size makes it suitable for playing near the coast.
Once it reaches the deep sea, not to mention huge waves, even the ripples formed by the passing cargo ship may overturn it.
Is the other person the kind of madman who likes to challenge his limits?
Or is he a smuggler who values money over life?
Or maybe... they are here for the treasure at the bottom of the sea?
Holding the telescope, Zhou Yu searched the surrounding sea again, but found nothing. His brows unconsciously frowned.
Just as he was wondering about the other party's origins, Li Er, who was also holding a telescope, exclaimed excitedly.
"Boy, are we encountering pirates? Somali, Biu~Biu~Biu~~~"
Zhou Yu: (＃－.－)
This old Deng has really watched too many short videos.
Now this sea area is the inland sea of our motherland.
Even if the other party is really the Somali pirates, they would never dare to break in so ostentatiously.
But just when he was speechless, Li Er, holding a telescope, said seriously: "This group of people are all armed with guns. Even if they are not pirates, their origins must be extraordinary."
"What the hell? They have guns? Why didn't I see them just now?"
Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this.
Then he raised the telescope again.
When I was observing the other party just now, the distance between us was quite far, and I didn't notice whether the other party was holding a weapon.
In addition, he didn't understand the other party's intentions for the time being, so he didn't take it seriously.
But if the other party has hot weapons, even if you can cross at any time, you cannot guarantee 100% safety.
After re-adjusting the focus of the telescope, the enemy's speedboat soon appeared in the field of vision.
But then, Zhou Yu frowned.
Through the telescope, he did not see the weapon that Li Er mentioned, but instead saw the other party also observing him with a telescope.
It is certain that Li Er would not lie about such things.
Then it could only be that the other party hid their weapons after discovering the yacht.
He turned to look at Li Er and found that he was also looking at him.
Zhou Yu barely hesitated and called out to everyone, "Everyone, hurry into the cabin."
As he said that, he bent down, picked up Chengyang and Xiaonaituanzi, and walked into the cabin.
After placing the little princesses on the sofa in the cabin and instructing Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi to take good care of them, Zhou Yu returned to the deck.
Seeing that Zhou Yu hadn't raised the anchor, Li Er couldn't help but wonder, "Boy, why don't we leave now?"
"The other party has noticed us. We can't act rashly now."
Zhou Yu shook his head, then pointed at the speedboat still speeding across the sea and explained, "Although our yacht is quite fast, it's still a bit behind the speedboat. Once we weigh anchor, the other party will likely catch up. Rather than panicking, it's better to wait and see."
As the saying goes, a gun is fast from seven steps away, and it is both accurate and fast within seven steps.
According to the current distance between the two sides, we have just set sail when the other side can rush to our side.
At that time, unless you take the risk of crossing, if you let the other party get close, you and others will be in danger.
"So we're just going to sit back and watch?"
Li Er frowned, feeling that just sitting there and waiting to die was not a wise move.
"Of course I can't just sit there and watch."
Zhou Yu shook his head, then continued: "We need to use flag signals to ask the other party if they need help."
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and played the teaching video of the middle-aged captain.
At that time, I thought flag language was too troublesome and I basically didn’t use it, so I didn’t study it seriously.
If you want to act now, you naturally have to learn and apply it immediately.
Seeing that he actually started watching the video, Li Er couldn't help but feel even more confused. "They didn't approach you actively, so why did you provoke them?"
"This is not provocation, but a normal response."
After finding the corresponding content, Zhou Yu started signaling according to the video.
Seeing Li Er's puzzled expression, he could only turn around and explain, "According to relevant laws and regulations, ships have an obligation to provide rescue services at sea.
Now that the other party appears in the deep sea in a speedboat, it is obviously not normal behavior.
It is a normal reaction for us to proactively ask the other party if they need help.
But if we turn a blind eye or simply leave, it will definitely alert the other party.
By then, it will probably be difficult to leave safely."
Upon hearing this, Li Er nodded in agreement.
But then he wondered again: "What if the other party takes advantage of our strategy?"
"What else can I do? Of course I'll just leave it alone.
Don't forget, we are driving a yacht.
This thing is not just a ship, it also represents identity and status.
As long as those people are not fools, they will know what the consequences will be if they touch us.
We are just having a normal encounter at sea. Logically, there is no reason for the other side to want to kill us.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party is a desperado who does not care about any laws or rules at all.
If that's the case, at worst we can just go directly to Datang.
But if that happens, the secret of time travel will probably be lost.
When the time comes, I will have to trouble you, the Emperor, to arrange a place for me to settle down in the Tang Dynasty."
Zhou Yu half-joked and picked up the telescope again.
But when he saw the speedboat in the distance, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, saying, "It seems I might really have to wander around the Tang Dynasty."
[Sorry, I broke my promise and didn't have time to update this morning. I'm really sorry! I'll continue right away~]
