Shen Zhiyi rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. She felt that her image in Nalan Zhao's eyes was completely ruined.
No wonder Qingxing said this sea area was dangerous; it turns out that there are sirens in this sea area.
"By the way, what about the kids at home?"
Nalan Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister. They are not ordinary animals. They are intelligent and not easily affected by the songs of the sirens at sea."
"That's good." Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the kids at home aren't affected, that's fine. But if they are, Nalan Zhao is the only one on the whole ship who's clear-headed, so he won't care about the others and send them to their deaths.
“Let’s speed things up today and get out of this area. We can’t linger here any longer.” Shen Zhiyi got out of bed and stretched.
Nalan Zhao also stood up, "Okay."
"Sister, you go wash up first. I'm going to check on Chen Peng." Nalan Zhao opened the door and went out.
After washing up, Shen Zhiyi went straight to the deck and found that the two of them were already preparing breakfast.
Shen Zhiyi pulled up a chair and sat down, asking, "Brother Peng, do you still remember what happened last night?"
Chen Peng paused for a moment, unsure whether he should answer Shen Zhiyi's question.
However, the quick-witted Xiaobai started yelling.
"Woof woof woof!" The human doesn't remember! But it's okay! I've already tried to help him recall!
Shen Zhiyi took a sip of the warm water that Nalan Zhao handed her and thought to herself, "It's a miracle that Xiaobai wasn't beaten to death by Chen Peng."
Chen Peng grabbed Xiaobai's mouth, afraid it would utter some shocking words.
"Shut your wolf's mouth, or your breakfast today will be dried fish!" Chen Peng said through gritted teeth.
The little dried fish was dozing off to one side when it heard someone calling it. It raised its head and let out a howl, asking who was calling it.
Shen Zhiyi laughed and reached out to pat the little fish's head. "It's okay, go back to sleep."
The little dried fish continued to rest its head on its paws and doze off.
After having breakfast, the group gathered in the control room.
Chen Peng also plans to learn how to drive a boat, and the three of them will take turns driving, which will make things easier.
"Last night we were still some distance from the location Qingxing marked for us, but these sea sirens still appeared. It seems their activity area may have expanded."
Shen Zhiyi looked at the map and silently calculated in her mind that if it was really as she guessed, then it would be a long journey to get out of the Sirens' activity range at sea.
She was a little worried, wondering if she would be able to leave this area of water today.
"Sister, we've already increased our speed to the maximum. If we don't stop, we should be able to leave the area where the sirens are active at sea."
Nalan Zhao controlled the direction of the boat.
Looking at the sea ahead, Shen Zhiyi simply said, "I hope so."
Shen Zhiyi returned to the deck and observed the area of sea.
Chen Peng, on the other hand, learned to sail from Nalan Zhao.
However, things could not possibly go as Shen Zhiyi had imagined.
After lunch, the once calm sea gradually began to stir up waves.
And they had driven to the location that Qingxing had originally marked for them.
The wind and waves came headlong, crashing into the boat, causing it to move forward three meters and backward two meters.
Nalan Zhao frowned and said, "The sirens at sea are starting to exert their power; they don't want us to leave here alive."
Shen Zhiyi rolled her eyes; he was really making her uncomfortable.
The sky had darkened sometime during the day; it was midday, but the weather felt like evening.
No, it's even better than dusk.
Before long, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, which then turned into a moderate rain.
Then it turned into heavy rain, and finally, a downpour began!
The arrival of this torrential rain made the already turbulent sea even more agitated.
The waves rolling up in the sea were getting bigger and bigger, as if they were about to sink and swallow up the entire ship that Zhiyi was on its last legs!
Seeing that Shen Zhiyi was still on the deck, Nalan Zhao had no choice but to ask Chen Peng to go down and call Shen Zhiyi back, as it was much safer for her to stay in the control room than on the deck.
Just then, the singing came from afar again.
The singing this time was different from the singing last night; it wanted to control them directly.
Fortunately, Shen Zhiyi was prepared. As soon as she arrived at the control room, she took out the earplugs from her pocket and gave two to each of them.
I quickly put them on my ears too.
He glanced at the black wolf beside him, thought for a moment, and then took out a few more pairs of earplugs and put them on the cubs.
Better safe than sorry.
She's nipping any potential problems in the bud.
However, the earplugs they wore couldn't block out all the sound; they just reduced the volume of sound reaching their ears.
"Sister, it seems like something is coming towards our ship." Nalan Zhao pointed to the sensor, where small red dots appeared around the ship.
Shen Zhiyi came over to take a look and felt that something was not right.
Surely a siren at sea can't attract sea creatures with its song and then ram their ship, can it?
Don't tell me, Shen Zhiyi knows the truth.
The sirens, hidden in the shadows, grew anxious as the storm failed to capsize their ship and had no choice but to use the fish of the deep sea.
The sea was still very rough, constantly battering their ship. If it weren't for Nalan Zhao's steady handling, the ship might have capsized long ago, just as the sirens had hoped.
"Sister, we need to find a way to drive away those fish nearby, otherwise their continuous ramming might cause the boat to collapse."
Nalan Zhao gripped the control lever tightly with both hands.
They could now clearly feel fish ramming against the bottom of the boat!
Shen Zhiyi frowned as she looked at the increasing number of small red dots around the ship, which almost completely surrounded it.
She took out everything useful from her backpack, and Chen Peng, seeing this, also started rummaging through his own backpack.
Suddenly, Chen Peng seemed to remember something. "Zhiyi, do you want to check if there's anything about ultrasound on the control panel? I remember fish are afraid of ultrasound."
Shen Zhiyi then remembered that there seemed to be such a saying.
Fortunately, Shen Zhiyi did find the button to control the ultrasound.
After the ultrasound was turned on, the impact from the fish seemed to be reduced.
They then saw on their sensors that some small red dots moved away from their boat after the ultrasonic waves were activated.
However, many fish still surrounded the boat and rammed it.
"It seems that this ultrasound has less impact on fish than the song of the sirens at sea." Shen Zhiyi rubbed her temples, realizing she still needed to think of another solution.
Chen Peng also fell into deep thought.
Shen Zhiyi gritted her teeth and decided to brave the rain to go to the deckside to check the situation.
