"Brother Xiong, why did you bring these things out to sea?" Gu Nianzhi walked over and touched the narrow boxes beside Yin Shixiong. They were the boxes for the sniper rifles she had seen when she was with Huo Shaoheng at the military base. It seemed like they had brought a few anti-materiel rifles as well.
Yin Shixiong slung the long boxes over his shoulder and smiled. "It's better to be safe than sorry. It's always better to bring them just in case."
Fine, there weren't many people in the world who were so cautious.
Gu Nianzhi didn't hesitate anymore and walked to the shore. She raised her arm high and waved in the direction of the yacht.
Huo Shaoheng was focused on steering the boat in the cockpit. He saw a young woman on the shore waving at them in sports attire that couldn't hide her slender figure.
That figure was obviously his Nianzhi.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and increased the horsepower. The yacht rumbled and sped towards the shore.
…
"Huo Shao, this yacht is beautiful." Gu Nianzhi boarded the yacht and circled the small space twice before sitting down comfortably in the middle cabin.
It was like a small living room with two rows of extremely flexible sofas on the east and west sides of the cabin. There was a long fixed table in the middle that served as a coffee table. There were all kinds of cabinets fixed to the wall behind the sofas. The space was fully utilized.
Huo Shaoheng let Yin Shixiong drive the yacht and went to the middle cabin himself. He opened a cabinet and took out a few bottles of iced rum and coconut juice. He placed them on the long table in the middle of the cabin.
Gu Nianzhi opened the cupboard with interest and looked inside. She exclaimed, "So this is a refrigerator!"
"There's a kitchen at the back of the yacht. We can barbecue." Huo Shaoheng opened the lid of the rum and downed it.
Zhao Liangze's mouth twitched. "Huo Shao! That's rum! Not beer! Do you have to drink so much? "
"Rum can warm you up. I suggest you drink a can too. " Huo Shaoheng placed a can of rum in front of Zhao Liangze. "We're going to dive in the blue hole later. Don't catch a cold."
"We're going to dive? Is it a deep dive? " Gu Nianzhi was very interested and jumped to Huo Shaoheng's side. She grabbed his arm and shook it, her eyes shining as she asked, "Can I go?"
"No." Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze rejected her in unison.
"There's a blue hole in the sea near the Gu family's island. I want to go down and take a look. The current there is rapid, and the water temperature is relatively low. You're a girl, so you shouldn't go diving there. " Huo Shaoheng placed the coconut juice in front of her. "Drink some coconut juice, then let Big Xiong take you to sea crab fishing."
As soon as she heard that she could fish for crabs, Gu Nianzhi beamed with joy and nodded quickly. "Okay, okay! Brother Xiong and I are fishing for crabs. We'll steam them and wait for you guys to come up and eat. "
"Good girl." Huo Shaoheng patted her head and walked to the back cabin with Zhao Liangze to change into his diving suit.
Gu Nianzhi walked to the cockpit and sat on the high stool beside Yin Shixiong. She smiled and said, "Brother Xiong, Huo Shao asked you to take me fishing for crabs later."
Yin Shixiong also wanted to dive in, but he couldn't ignore Huo Shaoheng's order.
With both hands on the rudder, he muttered, "You need someone to guide you when you're fishing for crabs? Don't you know how to fish yourself? "
When they were in the Hua Xia Empire, they had also gone out to sea to fish for crabs.
"I can go alone, but Huo Shao wants you to accompany me." Gu Nianzhi tilted her head and moved closer to Yin Shixiong. She looked at his face carefully and smiled. "Huh? You're not happy? You want to dive too? "
"Of course." Yin Shixiong glared at her and quickly turned the yacht to avoid a wave not far away. "This is the world's famous deep diving area. The quality of the seawater is the best in the world, and it's truly pollution-free."
"I want to go too …" Gu Nianzhi sighed and secretly looked around the cockpit. She saw Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze changing in the back cabin, so she lowered her voice and said to Yin Shixiong, "Brother Xiong, why don't we wait for them to go into the water and secretly go play too?"
Yin Shixiong pursed his lips tightly and stared at her with his eyes.
Gu Nianzhi didn't react for a moment because she was on the consulate's yacht and not at the Special Operations Forces base. She thought there wouldn't be that many listening devices.
However, Huo Shaoheng's voice sounded from one of the yacht's speakers. "Nianzhi, you want to pretend to agree but secretly oppose?"
Gu Nianzhi was so scared that she covered her ears and almost fell off the high stool.
She looked around with some fear and stammered, "Huo … Huo Shao, where are you?"
She spoke so softly, how could he hear her?!
Yin Shixiong pointed to an inconspicuous button on the rudder, then pointed to his mouth and ears.
Gu Nianzhi understood.
Huo Shaoheng must have installed an answering device on the rudder for convenience of communication.
Coincidentally, he heard Gu Nianzhi's little plan …
Gu Nianzhi's heart trembled. She trembled as she jumped off the high stool and muttered, "I … I'm a little seasick. I'll go to the cabin in the middle to rest for a while." She ran away as she spoke.
Yin Shixiong laughed so hard his shoulders shook. He said to Huo Shaoheng on the other side of the receiver, "Huo Shao, you scared Nianzhi. I can see that her little face is pale."
Huo Shaoheng snorted and ignored the matter. He said to Yin Shixiong, "Little Ze and I are about to go into the water. Do you remember the direction?"
"I remember. The Gu's island is a nautical mile ahead. Are we going to dock at the island's dock? "Yin Shixiong asked very carefully.
"Let's take a look outside first." Huo Shaoheng was very interested in the situation around the island. He especially wanted to know how Gu Xiangwen was able to make the island invisible.
If he could find out, it would be of great military value.
Current military stealth equipment, such as fighter jets, mostly relied on special coatings to confuse radar signals to achieve the goal of invisibility. However, with the rapid development of satellite technology, stealth for fighter jets was becoming more and more difficult.
Therefore, Gu Xiangwen's technology was even more valuable.
"What's even more rare is that Gu Xiangwen had this technology at least seven years ago. If he hadn't become a vegetable, I wonder how much better this technology would be. " Zhao Liangze sighed and followed Huo Shaoheng to put on his diving suit and diving equipment. He stood at the side of the boat and gazed into the distance.
The Blue Hole near the Gu family's island was right in front of them.
On the turquoise surface of the sea, there was suddenly a part of the water that was much bluer than the rest. It was a deep blue, so blue that it shone.
If the seawater next to the blue hole was aquamarine, then the seawater in the blue hole was the darkest and purest sapphire.
From the sky, the abrupt color looked like an eye in the sea, twinkling as it looked up at the blue sky.
The shape of the blue hole was a perfect circle. It was unknown whether it was natural or man-made.
"Let's go down and see if there's anything interesting inside." Huo Shaoheng waved his hand and was the first to dive into the sea.
He had a feeling that Gu Xiangwen was able to make the island invisible, so there must be more than the equipment on the island.
Therefore, he also had to carefully explore the environment around the island.
Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time and could only take a rough look first. He would explain the situation to his mother, Song Jinning, when he returned to China.
His mother, Song Jinning, was a high-energy physicist and was no stranger to these things.
Zhao Liangze jumped into the sea with Huo Shaoheng and swam towards the blue hole in front of them.
The seawater around the blue hole was obviously darker than other places, so it was easy to distinguish.
The diving equipment they carried had all kinds of scientific detection equipment that could capture all kinds of sound and light waves, as well as radio signals.
As they swam along the seawater, a variety of colorful tropical fish swam around them.
Perhaps it was because this was an uninhabited place, but the fish were not afraid of humans at all. Instead, they playfully swam around them, their large tails swinging and splashing Zhao Liangze's face.
He instinctively dodged to the side and watched the "troublemaker" swim away with its large tail. He gritted his teeth and said, "… I swear I heard that fish laughing at our misfortune."
Yin Shixiong's voice sounded over the comms, "Little Ze, fish can't talk, let alone laugh. Did you dive too deep and start hallucinating? Tsk tsk, if I had known earlier, I would've swapped. My body is much better than yours! "
"Get lost!" Zhao Liangze shot back at Yin Shixiong. "You should be the kindergarten principal and go crab fishing with the kids!"
"Zhao Liangze!" Yin Shixiong was so angry that he pounded on the rudder. The earpiece boomed loudly. Zhao Liangze smiled happily and quickly swam forward with Huo Shaoheng.
The blue hole was already right in front of them.
They could clearly feel that the current there was much more turbulent than elsewhere, and the water was swirling rapidly in one direction. If they were not careful, they would be carried into the "ditch" — the blue hole on the other side.
The two of them spoke through the comms underwater and could even transmit the conversation to the yacht.
…
At that moment, Gu Nianzhi was lying on a lounge chair by the side of the yacht. She had a long fishing rod by her hand and was fishing in the sea. Her face was covered with a white sun hat and a large parasol on top of the lounge chair.
The comms was placed on the small table beside her, so she could hear Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze's conversation. Yin Shixiong sat beside her with a gloomy expression and used a knife to peel a pineapple for her.
Of course, the yacht did not continue sailing. It stopped not far from the blue hole and waited for Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze to return.
"Hey, it's such a nice day with such a beautiful ocean view. Are you planning to sleep in?" Yin Shixiong was bored after peeling a pineapple and wanted to chat with Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi snatched the hat back and put it on with a smile. "Of course not. I'll see if I can go online. I can also play games."
"I can't stand you!" Yin Shixiong snorted and stood up to sit on the other side of the yacht with his fishing rod.
Zhao Liangze's voice came through the comms. "We're entering the blue hole …"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound from the comms, then silence.
Gu Nianzhi glanced at the comms and sat up to pat it. She asked, "Huo Shao? Brother Ze? Have you guys entered the blue hole? "
There was no response from the other side.
…
At that moment, someone also noticed the activity near the blue hole. She thought about it and called Gu Yanran. "Yanran, it's time to make it up to you. Hurry up and go to your family's island. Someone has entered the blue hole."
