"Sorry, I didn't expect this to happen," the curly-haired youth said apologetically when Mo Qiong mentioned the sunken boat.
Mo Qiong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
Then, everyone entered the cabin and locked the door.
The wind was blowing outside, but the cabin was rather warm.
Mo Qiong sized up the eight people seriously. They were all young, four men and four women.
Looking at the interior, the decorations were exquisite, and there was a large amount of alcohol. He knew that they were probably having a party when they bumped into him.
This was understandable. What else could they do other than drive a yacht out for fun? Many sailors in the transportation industry were very bored at sea and would look for entertainment all day long.
"You can change your clothes in the bedroom. We have plenty of fresh water. You can even take a shower," the curly-haired youth said. He seemed to be the owner of the yacht.
Mo Qiong nodded and quickly changed his clothes. His clothes were also provided by Curly Hair.
After coming out, Curly Hair brought a cup of coffee to Mo Qiong.
"I wanted to make some hot soup, but this is too shaky," Curly Hair said.
At this moment, the yacht was in the middle of a storm and was shaking a lot. They could only use the coffee machine to make some hot coffee.
Mo Qiong also wanted to drink something hot, so he didn't stand on ceremony.
After chatting with them for a while, Mo Qiong had a rough understanding of this group of people.
They loved sailing and extreme sports. They called themselves explorers, but they didn't have any official jobs. They had all the necessary documents, but they weren't experienced. They could be said to be rich second-generation heirs who liked to go out to sea.
"Why did you drive a boat here alone?" a youth asked.
Mo Qiong said, "I drifted here."
Usually, no one would drive a small boat like his 50 nautical miles away from the coastline.
Otherwise, would there be enough fuel to return? How big would the waves be if they encountered an unpredictable storm?
All these problems made it impossible for a small boat like Mo Qiong to appear on the high seas.
Therefore, if Mo Qiong said that he came out to play, it was simply nonsense.
Now that they heard Mo Qiong say that he had drifted here, they immediately believed him. They thought that his boat had encountered some problems or ran out of fuel. It was also too far from the coastline, so it drifted further and further away and was washed into the high seas.
"Wow, this is too dangerous. Why didn't you call for help when you saw our boat?" the youth exclaimed.
Mo Qiong said, "I was sleeping at that time. You guys bumped into me and woke me up."
Hearing Mo Qiong mention bumping, everyone was a little embarrassed.
They didn't expect to be so unlucky. They were just playing when they were careless.
However, they soon felt that Mo Qiong was being too careless.
"You've already floated more than a thousand kilometers away from the coastline. How can you still sleep?" A beauty asked in astonishment.
Mo Qiong smiled and said, "The SOS radio is broken, and so is the engine. I can only go with the flow. I'll eat, drink, and sleep."
Everyone thought the same. If they couldn't do anything and could only resign themselves to fate, what else could they do other than sleep? Even if they were awake, it would be useless.
But even so, not everyone could sleep well in that kind of atmosphere.
They had no one to rely on at sea. Once they ran out of fresh water and food, they could only wait for death.
In this kind of desperate situation, an ordinary person would have already given up hope and wanted to die. They couldn't eat or sleep well, and they would torment themselves to the point that their spirit was dispirited.
Seeing that Mo Qiong's attitude was still so good, everyone was instantly moved by his optimism.
"Haha, then us crashing into your ship is simply the heavens guiding us to help you." Curly Hair chuckled.
"Ah … that's right …" Mo Qiong smiled bitterly. This was his new ship.
Curly Hair said, "Although we crashed into your ship, it's good that you're fine. You can take our ship back. When we return, I can compensate you with another one."
When Mo Qiong heard that, he felt very helpless.
His current position was in the high seas of the eastern part of the Bay Province. Further south was the Phillipine Sea. The large pearl was in that sea region, close to the Phillipine Sea.
He couldn't possibly ask these people to bring him across the border. The waters near the Phillipine Sea were the territorial waters.
This group of people would definitely not allow themselves to be thrown into the vast ocean.
He thought for a bit and said, "What was your original destination?"
Curly Hair said, "We don't have a destination. We just went out to sea to find a sea monster."
"Sea monster?" Mo Qiong looked at them strangely.
Curly Hair was about to continue when another youth scoffed. "Enough, Zhang He. We came out to have fun. Why are you talking about a sea monster?"
Mo Qiong smiled. He could tell that they were just a group of friends who had come out on a yacht to have fun. They didn't have any goals and were just looking for some excitement. Saying that they were looking for a sea monster was just an excuse.
However, this way, he wouldn't be able to take a free ride and could only return with them.
Unexpectedly, Curly Hair Zhang He said, "What do you mean by nonsense? Don't tell me you don't believe what I said at all? "
The youth pursed his lips and said, "Big Brother, you actually believe a thousand-meter sea monster? You're too wise."
"Pfft!" Mo Qiong nearly choked on his coffee.
"One thousand meters?" The corners of Mo Qiong's mouth twitched. This was too exaggerated. The largest creature in the world was the blue whale. The longest it could reach was 33 meters. Perhaps there were even larger ones in the unexplored depths of the sea. But what did a thousand-meter creature mean? Swallowing a blue whale in one gulp?
Zhang He hurriedly said, "There really is one, Brother. You don't know, but I have a sailor friend in America who saw it with his own eyes. He discovered it in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. Everyone who loves sailing has heard about it."
"Lipi, didn't he clarify everything? That's because he dreamed about it. Brother, don't listen to him. The friend he mentioned has already apologized publicly, saying that he started the rumor. "The youth laughed.
Zhang He said with an ugly expression, "That's not what he said to me at the start. His eyes don't look like he's lying to me. He's very fearful. Furthermore, the photos he took were appraised by the big shots in the industry right from the start. They weren't edited. "
"The person you mentioned has also clarified. He said that he was in cahoots with Lipi to spread the rumor. Those photos have also been appraised by the media. They're all fakes. They just edited the Leviathan's photos," said the youth.
Zhang He said helplessly, "Don't you have any aspirations? Didn't you believe me previously? Lipi and the rest aren't people who are so good at spreading rumors. "
Although he said it very seriously, his friends all laughed.
Everyone believed him on the surface because they wanted to have some fun sailing this time. It didn't mean that they really believed him.
Only Zhang He really believed in this kind of hype.
Mo Qiong rubbed his Adam's apple and said, "There are too many unexplored places on Earth. It's better to believe in sea monsters. After all, some large deep-sea creatures have yet to be discovered. It's very normal."
He consoled Zhang He, but then changed the topic and said, "However, a thousand meters is really too exaggerated. It's indeed a little ridiculous. If there really were such a large creature, humans would have discovered it long ago."
Zhang He scratched his head, not knowing how to refute.
His friends said, "Look, this brother is also a sensible person. If it's a hundred meters, we have some aspirations. We can believe it. But a thousand meters isn't scientific at all! This world needs to be based on science. "
Mo Qiong was taken aback. He was a little touched when he heard this.
Did this world really need to be based on science? Or rather, what was the definition of science?
"Well, Zhang He, what does the giant you mentioned look like? Do you have a photo? "asked Mo Qiong.
Zhang He immediately stood up, picked up the pad and searched. "Yes, but this is a copy. It's not the original photo. I don't know if the original photo was edited."
Mo Qiong looked at the photo. It was a huge figure emerging from the dark sea amidst the raging waves. Its silhouette was like a whale, but the shape of its mouth was more like that of a carnivore. It really did look like a Leviathan.
Its size was really ridiculous. Although it was very far away, part of its body was in the sea while the other part was in the clouds. Its body was at least a thousand meters long.
"Do you believe me?" asked Zhang He.
"Hmm …" Mo Qiong did not comment.
"Alright, alright. Do you think I'll believe you just by looking at a photo? The waves seem to have subsided. Let's eat supper and sleep. "His friends could not stand it anymore.
Zhang He was helpless. Everyone laughed and took out some food and placed it on the table.
Mo Qiong ate two mouthfuls of bread. Suddenly, he had an idea. He picked up a bread crumb and threw it.
The bread crumbs floated out and suddenly changed direction, heading in a certain direction.
"Bang!"
Mo Qiong was shocked. He slapped the bread crumb to the ground.
Because of the sudden movement, he almost fell off the chair.
His sudden slamming of the table caused a huge commotion. Everyone could not help but look at him in confusion.
Mo Qiong looked at Zhang He and said, "I believe you."
"What? You believe that? Bro, you're also a chuunibyou! "Everyone said.
