Chapter 7 Chapter 6: The Lovers Floating on the Sea Are in Danger Together

As Yuan Zhenxia expected, it was "another rescue operation". In this rescue operation, the actual participants were all crew members of the cargo ship.Huang Juan and the group of people she invited, including Captain Boer, were all concentrated in the computer control room. Although Ah Ying appeared on the screen for only a few minutes, the cargo ship was always under Ah Ying's control during the rescue process, which put a heavy pressure on everyone's heart. All the people do not want to talk. There was heavy breathing in the control room, and the silence was finally broken by the chief mate's report: "Captain...all the refugees have been rescued and are in good health..."

Everyone in the control room felt relieved involuntarily. Everyone looked at the fluorescent screen, which showed that the computer was operating normally. The controlling power that came from nowhere and whose nature was unknown had disappeared. up. Captain Boer looked at Huang Juan, and Huang Juan waved her hand: "Send the refugees to the nearest port. If no one takes them in, our country can take them in." Boer conveyed the order to the first mate, Huang Juan straightened herself up, her voice sounded particularly high due to timidity: "Doctor, you once said that you can—"

Dr. Compby shook his hands before she finished speaking: "Don't mention what I said before. Before, I thought I was a computer expert. Now, I realize that I don't understand anything!" The doctor's face was terribly pale, and his voice trembled. Haitang snorted: "Doctor, there is no need to do this. The human brain can have a direct connection with the computer. This theory was first proposed by you!" The doctor's expression was as if he had come out of a desperate situation, and he opened his eyes wide: "Do you think the situation just now is the connection and combination of the human brain and the computer!"

Haitang pursed her lips. This little action made her look quite determined: "There are too many unknowns in the details, but this assumption is valid. Other than that, there is no possible explanation. !" The doctor heaved a sigh of relief, and his expression gradually softened. He laughed at himself and said, "We are all terrified by the strange phenomenon just now, aren't we? We are so terrified that we can't even think about it!" Yuan Zhenxia also let out a sigh of relief: "I thought about it, but I really can't imagine it! The combination of human brain and computer? That... what kind of situation?"

Haitang spoke very slowly, almost saying every word: "The energy of the human brain controls the computer and directs the operation of the computer. That is to say, whatever she wants, the computer will do as she wants!" Huang Juan couldn't help but let out a groan, she recalled what Haitang said just now, the person who has mastered this ability is the one who has mastered the supreme power! In real life, human beings have completely depended on the actions of the computer, and someone can direct the work of the computer as he pleases. The power of this person is really unimaginable!

Although Dr. Compi has also used his skills to interfere with the computer's movements, but compared with this kind of control power, it is completely worthless!Huang Juan murmured: "Just now, the fate of our... cargo ship is in her hands!" Yuan Zhenxia swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said softly: "In theory, the fate of the world is in her hands every second!" In the control room, it fell silent again. Theoretically speaking, since Ah Ying's "power" can control the computer system on the cargo ship at will, it can naturally control any computer system.

And the nuclear weapons stored by several powerful countries, which can destroy the whole world, are all determined by the computer. That is to say, she has the ability to make all nuclear weapons explode at the same time! Scientists have pointed out long ago that the nuclear energy weapons stockpiled by various powerful countries are not only enough to destroy all living things on the earth, but also, the power of the explosion can also change the degree of the earth's axis, affect the orbit of the earth, and further, make the solar system , the Milky Way, and even the movement of stars in the entire universe, all have different degrees of impact!

What kind of powerful force is this! That is the power that countless careerists have dreamed of since the beginning of human history! This kind of power was considered non-existent before, but with the advent of the computer age, human life has become inseparable from computers, and this kind of power has appeared!As long as you can manipulate the computer systems in the world, you have mastered this kind of power! Mastering this power, one can establish a new order of human life at will, control the lives of all people, realize the dream of ruling all mankind, and become the supreme ruler of the earth!

All of a sudden, not only Colonel Shan Hu's breath became thicker, but Huang Juan's nostrils also flared abnormally, it seemed that just because of this thought, she felt strange tension in her heart. Haitang's eyes were wide open, making it easy to detect that she was wearing contact lenses, which changed the color of her original eyeballs, but at this time, no one paid attention to her except Yuan Zhenxia. At this moment, Yuan Zhenxia only felt a burst of extreme sadness in his heart, and he sighed involuntarily. When Huang Juan cast her eyes full of urgency and enthusiasm on him, he knew what Huang Juan was thinking, and he immediately Shaking his head: "Even if such power exists, it will not fall into anyone's hands..."

Huang Juan said sharply: "Who said no? Ah Ying...isn't human?" Yuan Zhenxia smiled awkwardly: "In a way, Ah Ying is not human." Shanhu and Lin Wenyi lost their voices at the same time: "What do you mean by...?" Yuan Zhenxia raised his head and took a deep breath: "She has abnormal abilities, but she is only used to save people, not to build power for herself. Her behavior has been divorced from the evil nature of human beings, so I say she Not human to some extent." Yuan Zhenxia noticed that his words made both Huang Juan and Haitang bow their heads.

Yuan Zhenxia also knew that his words, at most, made them understand a little truth for a moment, and they would never stop them from chasing power and ambition. Sure enough, Huang Juan showed a resolute look again, and looked at Dr. Compi.Compby rubbed his hands: "I have to think about it, really think about it..." Huang Juan said in a deep voice, "How long will it take? We can provide everything you need!" The doctor smiled bitterly: "I don't know how long it will take, I can't be sure." Huang Juan showed a very dissatisfied expression, and suddenly said: "Okay, everything here is over, the helicopter will send you away!" Lin Wenyi opened his mouth wide: "Aying...Aying...she won't come again? She..." Shan Hu sternly said: "Shut up!" Then he clenched his hands into fists: "I won't leave, I will wait for her here!" Huang Juan raised her eyebrows, and Captain Bohr said in a deep voice, "The cargo ship is nominally under my command, isn't it?" Huang Juan paused every word: "If anyone among you really wants to meet the Goddess of Salvation, I have a good suggestion!" For a moment, everyone fell silent. Huang Juan said: "Just now, the rescued refugees all said that they had seen the Goddess of Salvation before. They didn't see it on the screen, but the Goddess actually appeared in front of them!" After all, Yuan Zhenxia knew Huang Juan very well. He already knew what Huang Juan was going to say, so he smiled wryly in his heart. The rest of them obviously didn't know how Huang Juan was going to play tricks on them, and they were listening very attentively. Huang Juan's voice was cold: "Thus, those who want to see the goddess can leave the cargo ship and drift on the sea. If it is predicted that there will be thick fog tonight, then there is hope of seeing the goddess directly! Whoever wants to leave, I will Can provide convenience..." When Huang Juan said this, she thought that her suggestion was clearly teasing those who were eager to see Ah Ying, and it would definitely make everyone dare not say anything again. However, beyond her expectation, and also beyond Yuan Zhenxia's expectation, Shanhu raised his thick arms first with a "huh" and said loudly: "I am willing to go, please give me A lifeboat!" Lin Wenyi continued, also muttering: "I...I am willing to go too...but...I want to act alone..." HS said: "Of course everyone acts alone!" Huang Juan was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly: "Okay, there are quite a lot of lifeboats on the cargo ship, who else would like to drift in the sea, waiting for the Goddess of Salvation to come, please raise your hand!" As soon as Huang Juan's words came out of her mouth, Captain Boer said in a deep voice, "Me!" What was even more unexpected was that Dr. Compi also raised his hand slowly: "Me!" Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help but sighed: "Doctor, why?" The doctor looked very confused, of course he didn't want to be infatuated with Aying, that's why Yuan Zhenxia asked, he was a little lost: "I want to investigate...to understand...what is she relying on...how did she Those who can combine their own brain activity with the computer..." Yuan Zhenxia didn't say anything, just smiled wryly, when he thought that no one would ask to drift on the sea, Haitang said in a very calm voice: "I want a lifeboat too!" Yuan Zhenxia suddenly shouted: "You know what you are going to do? Drifting on the sea is definitely not an interesting thing!" Haitang's voice was still very calm: "Not only is it boring, but it's also very dangerous, but there are some things that must be done." Huang Juan waved her hand vigorously, and looked at the doctor's other assistant. The young man was a little at a loss and just shook his head vigorously. Huang Juan said in a deep voice, "Everyone's request can be met." She said, and strode out, Yuan Zhenxia did not follow, he came to Haitang's side.Haitang said coldly: "Hurry up and serve your general, it seems she is angry!" Yuan Zhenxia endured her ridicule: "Change your mind!" Haitang raised her eyebrows stubbornly: "Why? Everyone has their own goals, but I will not change my mind. I still want to invite you to go with me!" Yuan Zhenxia was a bit dumbfounded, but Haitang laughed "grimly": "Drifting at sea is no more dangerous than exploring the hinterland of New Guinea... Yuan, did you lose your courage, or is the charm of the female general making you irresistible? " Yuan Zhenxia suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe. He almost escaped from the control room, went to the deck, leaned against the side of the ship, and breathed in the humid sea air, which made him feel better. Not long after, in the dense fog, the crew shouted and made noises, which was the sound of lifeboats being lowered into the sea one after another.After about half an hour, it became quiet. The fog was still very thick, and the lifeboat was almost submerged in the thick fog almost as soon as it left the side of the ship.Next, there was a slight sound of water, and it was impossible to see the circumstances under which the lifeboat left. After all the noises quieted down, the few lifeboats that were lowered seemed to be lost in the dense fog. As if disappearing without a trace, it is weird and unpredictable, which makes people feel a sense of suffocation after being oppressed.This feeling was so strong that Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help panting. The cargo ship was advancing at a normal speed. Yuan Zhenxia's body was all wet from standing in the dense fog for a long time. When he brushed his hair, water droplets fell down the hairline.He turned around and saw Huang Juan walking towards him, with a forced smile: "Do you want to listen to the narrative of the rescued refugees?" When the refugees were rescued, several refugees talked about how they saw the "Goddess of Salvation", which sounded chaotic. Although Yuan Zhenxia did not ask to go drifting on the sea, he definitely did Not interested in the whole thing. So, he nodded, and came to her cabin with Huang Juan. The crew brought a few refugees. Yuan Zhenxia once again heard the story of the "Goddess of Salvation" suddenly appearing in the thick fog, What I heard before is no different. Huang Juan sent the refugees away, leaning on an easy chair, her expression seemed a little lazy: "Yuan! The existence of this 'Goddess' is absolutely true, there is no need to doubt it anymore!" Yuan Zhenxia raised his hand: "I never doubted it!" Huang Juan sat up straight suddenly: "Let them all go to sea to fight, I still thought she would appear on the computer again." Yuan Zhenxia took a breath: "Please prepare the helicopter, I want to leave." Huang Juan stared at her, and Yuan Zhenxia smiled wryly: "I think that no matter what purpose I have, I may be able to see her again, but it will never be achieved! Especially, I can't gain control of the computer or human beings from her." The ability to combine brain and computer!" Huang Juan was still staring at him, and Yuan Zhenxia sighed: "Aying is just an ordinary person. I think she took on the role of 'Goddess of Salvation'. It's not that she has changed. Her ability comes from' Cupid'. That mysterious figure who saved her in her most critical hour." Huang Juan snorted: "You think I don't know! However, to find the God of Love, you have to go through Ah Ying!" Yuan Zhenxia said: "Even if you find the god of love, what do you think you can get?" Huang Juan didn't answer this question directly, she laughed coquettishly: "Maybe, you can get love?" Yuan Zhenxia typed a "haha": "It seems that you are not worried about the situation of those people who are drifting at sea?" Huang Juan sneered: "That's their own decision - naturally, I know you're worried about one of them!" Yuan Zhenxia remained silent. He was indeed a little worried, worried about Haitang's encounter at sea, even though he knew that Haitang had extraordinary adaptability, he was still worried. Huang Juan's voice was cold: "I guess that the so-called doctor's assistant is actually Haitang. Are you right?" Yuan Zhenxia was slightly shocked, but said nothing.Huang Juan laughed again, and there was a certain degree of cruelty in her laughter. Yuan Zhenxia was suddenly taken aback: "You...knew that earlier?" Huang Juan said: "It's not too early, but before she gets off the lifeboat, I can be sure!" Yuan Zhenxia rushed in front of Huang Juan. Huang Juan raised her head and stared at him proudly and fearlessly. Yuan Zhenxia's voice sounded very deep: "Did you do something...on the lifeboat?" Huang Juan deliberately made it leisurely: "If she were me, I would do the same thing, but we did this not for you, but for other purposes, so you don't have to be flustered, and you don't have to be too nervous... ..." Yuan Zhenxia clenched his fists tightly, and after a while, he slowly let go of his fingers and smiled: "I won't be sentimental, but I think that in this area of ​​the sea, the more life is in danger, the more life is in danger. The more chances you have to meet the Goddess of Salvation—this is the purpose of everyone drifting at sea!" Huang Juan's expression changed slightly: "Do you want to play the big lover first?" Yuan Zhenxia's heart suddenly moved. He also had a strong curiosity about Ah Ying, the God of Love, and wanted to know the ins and outs of the so-called "God of Love". If you can be with Haitang, in the vast sea, on the line between life and death, meet Ah Ying, and go one step further, meet the God of Love, what a romantic and interesting experience! However, he immediately thought that if Ah Ying appeared in the computer of the cargo ship again, together with Huang Juan, and had further contact with Ah Ying, it would be an unforgettable experience! He didn't know what to do. This kind of contradictory mood had lasted for more than a day, and at this moment, it still made him unable to make a choice. Huang Juan suddenly let out a long sigh, leaned towards him, crossed her hands and hung them on his shoulders, and said in a very tired voice, "I left another assistant of the doctor, he said, he recorded everything that happened to Ah Ying just now. Are you interested in watching it again?" Yuan Zhenxia is actually a person with a rather contradictory personality. In his chaotic thoughts, he will suddenly have inexplicable impulses that he had never even thought of before half a second.That being the case, he raised his voice: "I don't want to see, I just want a lifeboat." Huang Juan was shocked suddenly, turned her head away, not to look at him, her voice was deliberately indifferent: "Not only can you get a lifeboat, but you can also get extra water and food!" Huang Juan's promise came so quickly, which was beyond Yuan Zhenxia's expectation. He quickly said, "Thank you!" On the one hand, he had already left the cabin, so naturally before leaving, he didn't pay much attention to Huang Juan's expression.He didn't look at Huang Juan more, not because he was afraid that Huang Juan would change his mind, but because he was afraid that he would change his mind. Therefore, he did not see that when Huang Juan raised her head and looked at his back, her expression was extremely complicated, with anger and bewilderment, and there was a kind of tears in her eyes—of course Well, a strong female general won't cry, but if she didn't have a strange feeling in her heart, how could the corners of her eyes be wet! What's more, her plump and seductive lips moved once. Although she didn't make any sound in the end, she always wanted to make a sound. What sound did she want to make, was she cursing Yuan Zhenxia for being in danger at sea, or Want Yuan Zhenxia to come back?I'm afraid only she herself knows. After the cabin door was closed, Huang Juan maintained that attitude for several minutes without moving.During that time, her thoughts were almost blank.She didn't understand why Yuan Zhenxia made such a sudden decision. In fact, even Yuan Zhenxia himself didn't know why he suddenly made such a decision! Perhaps, it was because she knew that Huang Juan had tampered with Haitang's lifeboat, which would cause Haitang to be in danger at sea, so she suddenly came up with this idea. He wasn't quite sure why, he just wanted to leave the cargo ship early, so he didn't ask for more water and food, but hurried to the side of the ship, and with the assistance of Huang Juan's men, he lowered the lifeboats in the last two lifeboats. One, boarded the boat, picked up the oars on the boat, and rowed forward vigorously. At the beginning, due to the waves brought up by the cargo ship, the boat was turbulent, but after the huge shadow of the cargo ship disappeared into the thick fog and disappeared like a giant ghost, the sea surface became very calm and dense. The vast expanse of whiteness formed by the fog seemed to have cut off all sounds, and the surrounding area was so quiet that there was not even a sound at all. Yuan Zhenxia stopped the sculls. At this moment, he could calm down and think about it. The first thing he thought of was Haitang. Haitang's situation should be the same as his. Theoretically speaking, since the direction of the seawater is constant, all the lifeboats that go into the sea will drift in the same direction, and they should gather together and not drift away.But in fact, it is absolutely not the case. Even if many small boats are launched on the sea at the same time and place, it will not take long for them to disperse instead of gathering together and drifting towards the same destination. This is a very strange phenomenon.Although theoretically speaking, the flow direction of sea water remains unchanged, and objects floating on the sea surface will all move towards the same path, but in fact, sea currents are very complicated, and there are countless small flow directions within the large flow direction. However, there are hundreds of currents with different speeds and directions in the extremely calm sea surface. Objects floating on the sea surface cannot choose their direction at all, so they have to be at the mercy of the currents. What's more, the small boat was carrying different people, and Colonel Shanhu might be using his astonishing arm strength to make the small boat move forward rapidly.Lin Wenyi may just sit still. Captain Boer probably used his rich sailing experience to make the boat run more smoothly. Doctor and Haitang will have their own different ways of handling it!So, at this time, the five small boats that fell into the sea about half an hour ago were no longer together! And he obviously couldn't chase any of them - he naturally hoped to catch up with the one that Haitang was on, but the fog was so thick, how could he know which direction Haitang was drifting? Yuan Zhenxia simply lay down on the lifeboat. The lifeboat was designed to carry about 20 people, but he was alone, so it was naturally quite spacious. He lay on an inflated life jacket and looked up to the sky.All he could see was a vast expanse of white fog. This was a very strange situation, and he could be said to have entered this situation suddenly. He made several assumptions about what kind of difficulties Haitang would encounter. He believed that within 24 hours, Haitang would be able to cope with any difficulties. If more than 24 hours passed, she would be in trouble. Wouldn't it be possible to find her within twenty-four hours? Groups of thick fog, with a wet feeling, floated on his body, and the hull of the boat was gently rippling. Although he was in the vast ocean, there was a strange tranquility.This sense of tranquility is naturally because Yuan Zhenxia knows that at least he has the water and food he needs for a month. A month of drifting at sea is really nothing if there is no shortage of water and food. ! After Yuan Zhenxia decided to hand over the whereabouts of the boat to Hailiu, he actually closed his eyes and fell asleep! Waking up from a deep sleep was due to a burning and tingling sensation on his eyelids. As soon as he woke up, he felt the scorching heat attacking his whole body. He turned around before opening his eyes. , so that his eyes could only be opened a crack. The sun has risen, forming a thirty-degree angle with the sea surface, and the rising sun has dyed the sea surface a dazzling golden color! Yuan Zhenxia had never admired the rising sun on the sea in such a situation, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of admiration, because the scene in front of him was so beautiful! He has not seen the morning sun directly, but the morning glow in the sky, and the boundless golden light rising from the sea, two extremely gorgeous colors, overwhelming, enveloping him in it, making him feel even more insignificant pole! He sat up slowly, covering his forehead with his hands, the rising sun was in his sight, it was elusive, shining and fluctuating, he couldn't stare at it, he could only feel its power.He is completely naked and defenseless under the power of the sun, which frightens him a little. He found a telescope in the gear box and used it to look around, but he couldn't see anything except the shining golden sea. First, the five small boats he fell into the sea were nowhere to be seen! Yuan Zhenxia stretched out a piece of canvas, and made a simple awning. He knew that the sun would become more and more intense, coupled with the reflection of the sea water, if there were no sunshade facilities, it would be difficult for the skin to resist the fierce sun. While he was busy preparing for all this, he found that there were more equipment on the lifeboat than he had imagined. Among them was a radio communication device. Yuan Zhenxia adjusted the frequency at that time, but he couldn't make any contact. It seemed that Signals can only be transmitted, not received. Yuan Zhenxia immediately thought that Huang Juan was meticulous in handling things, and she must have been prepared when she promised everyone to get off the lifeboat. Most of the signals emitted by this radio communication device can be received on the cargo ship, that is to say , Huang Juan will know exactly where the lifeboat is. She will naturally know what happened to the people on the lifeboat as soon as possible. Yuan Zhenxia could even predict that after transporting the refugees to the nearest port, the cargo ship would sail back and approach this sea area, as close as possible to the drifting lifeboats! Thinking of this, Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help but smile wryly: All the lifeboats are like Huang Juan's "tentacles". When everyone thinks they are looking for the god of love, in fact, they are looking for it on behalf of Huang Juan! It seems that it won't be long, even if they don't meet other lifeboats, they will probably be floating on the sea, and see that cargo ship again! Yuan Zhenxia was full of confidence in his speculation, but at noon the next day, when the sea was still empty and he did not see the cargo ship, Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help doubting his own judgment! (His conjecture is actually correct. The cargo ship did not appear within his sight range because of an extreme accident on board the cargo ship.) Although Yuan Zhenxia didn't think there would be any danger in his drifting at sea, even so, it was very dull and boring after all. Therefore, when it was hard to wait until the sunset, the sky was full of red clouds, and the scenery was differently beautiful than the sunrise, Yuan Zhenxia was not so interested in appreciating the scenery. He began to calculate, if day after day Such a stay at sea for more than 20 days would not only be boring and extremely boring, but if it lasted more than a month, it would be extremely dangerous. It should be impossible not to meet other ships for a month. He comforted himself, so there was no need to worry about it.He got off the boat comfortably again. There were slight waves on the sea, and the boat heaved and rolled, which could easily lull you to sleep. Especially as the sun faded, the cool breeze blew across your body, making you even more lazy. Feel. Before the sky was completely dark, Yuan Zhenxia's eyelids gradually became heavy, and when the first star in the sky began to twinkle, he was already asleep. This sleep didn't last long. When he woke up, looking far ahead, there was only a vast expanse of whiteness, and it was another night of dense fog. He exhaled, and he could even see a whole group of thick shadows drifting away in front of him. . Yuan Zhenxia didn't bother to move, because there was nothing to do at all. He imagined that the rest of the people, in the thick fog, would also start to feel that this kind of wait-and-see approach is really too stupid! However, my purpose and theirs are somewhat different, I came here for Haitang, what accident will Haitang encounter?An accident has happened?Still didn't happen? Yuan Zhenxia was thinking like this. Suddenly, he saw in front of him, in the dense fog, there seemed to be some sparks shining, because the fog was too thick, so he couldn't see it clearly at all, but as the sparks shone, there was a moment " "Bang" came faintly. Yuan Zhenxia sat up straight immediately: someone was firing a signal gun. Is someone calling for help? He pursed his lips and meditated quickly. At the same time, he picked up the oar and rowed vigorously in the direction where the sparks were shining just now. He estimated that the distance was about 500 meters. At that time, he still had no way of knowing who was firing the flare gun and for what purpose, but because of drifting at sea, it was really lonely. Even if he knew it was Lin Wenyi who fired the flare gun by mistake, he would still I rowed to have a look. The boat broke through the dense fog silently, and every stroke of the paddle caused the dense fog to swirl around. After rowing two to three hundred meters, Yuan Zhenxia shouted: "Who is in front?" After he asked a few times, he heard a "bang bang" sound, and it sounded like someone was knocking on something. It could be judged that the distance was not too far away. Yuan Zhenxia tried harder. Paddle forward. When he was wondering why the other party didn't answer him with words, he saw his lifeboat was colliding with another lifeboat quickly, and he hurriedly pushed his oars against it, and the people on that boat also stretched out their oars Resist, so that the two boats will not collide. At that moment, Yuan Zhenxia called out: "Hai Tang!" It was Haitang who was on that other lifeboat! At this time, the distance between the two was very close. Yuan Zhenxia saw Haitang's expression was very haggard, but after seeing him, his eyes were shining like elves behind the thick fog, emitting light of joy, her lips Tilting, the voice was very hoarse: "Water! Water!" Yuan Zhenxia said "Ah", immediately took a can of water, threw it over, Haitang caught it, opened the lid of the can, and drank the water greedily, at this moment, Yuan Zhenxia naturally understood what Huang Juan was doing What are the "hands and feet"? On Haitang's lifeboat, there is no water! It has been nearly thirty hours, and there is a whole day!Haitang naturally suffered a bit when there was no water at all. While fastening the two boats together, Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help cursing.After Haitang drank most of the water in the tank, she took a breath. Her voice sounded very hoarse: "It's not bad. If she puts a time bomb on the boat, I will already be food for fish!" As she spoke, she leaned over, and Yuan Zhenxia quickly reached out to hold her hand, smiling: "Come and have a seat!" Haitang smiled sweetly: "Okay, why are you here too? It's really unexpected!" Yuan Zhenxia pulled hard, and Haitang leaped over lightly. Yuan Zhenxia's boat moved slightly, and Haitang fell into Yuan Zhenxia's arms. When her slender body hugged her, suddenly, Haitang's survival boat exploded! It was an extremely unexpected change, so that people like Yuan Zhenxia and Haitang, who were accustomed to experiencing changes, were completely unable to react in a split second. The explosion was actually not violent, but it was enough to break Haitang's boat. Yuan Zhenxia tied the two boats together just now, so it was naturally affected. When one boat exploded, the other A large gap was also broken on one side of the small boat. The waves generated by the explosion rushed in immediately.Yuan Zhenxia and Haitang, in the first few seconds, were so forced by the air wave caused by the explosion that they couldn't even breathe, and they couldn't see anything in front of them. After that, a small boat disappeared, and half of the one they were sheltering in went into the sea, and the two of them couldn't help being very panicked. Yuan Zhenxia let out an exclamation, and Haitang screamed: "Hurry up and rescue the necessities!" Yuan Zhenxia reached out and grabbed two life jackets. Haitang struggled and rushed forward, grabbed a canvas bag and knew what was in the bag. The body is sinking, and it is possible to drag them down as well. So, they coincidentally, paddled forward together, and swam away. Yuan Zhenxia stretched out his hand again, and finally caught a board. Less than a minute later, the two boats disappeared without a trace. , there are only some fragments floating on the sea surface, and they can't be seen all of a sudden! Yuan Zhenxia and Haitang both stretched out their hands to grab the board, for a moment, they really didn't know what to say!After taking a few breaths, Yuan Zhenxia spit out the bitterly salty seawater, and asked in a hoarse voice, "God! What happened?" Haitang's throat made a "cracking" sound, her wet hair stuck to her face, making her look extremely embarrassed, she kept shaking her head, obviously no matter how rigorously she had been trained to deal with sudden changes, but at this moment , she has not recovered from the panic. Yuan Zhenxia was calmer than her. He didn't understand why Haitang's lifeboat suddenly exploded.What's more, his boat happened to be implicated, so that both of them fell into the sea! Then, Yuan Zhenxia began to feel a bone-chilling chill, not because his whole body was immersed in sea water! Lying on a lifeboat with sufficient water and food, drifting at sea, but at this time, drifting at sea with only two life jackets and a board are two completely different things. The former can be leisurely and leisurely, as a holiday at sea, but now, every minute and every second, you have to fight with death! He wiped it vigorously on his face, the salty and bitter feeling of the sea water seemed to be getting into every pore of himself, and could never be wiped off, he looked at Haitang, at this moment, Haitang was finally able to After she calmed down, she wanted to say something but didn't make a sound, her puzzled expression was filled with horror and apology.Yuan Zhenxia forced a smile: "It's not too bad, it's not too far from falling in the mountains in the hinterland of New Guinea." Haitang actually laughed too: "It's my honor to be with you twice, I'm really happy..." Yuan Zhenxia was a bit ironic: "Would you like to see what we have now? I have two life jackets!" Haitang said: "I have a canvas bag, I don't know what's in it!" As she spoke, she opened the bag, placing great hopes on it. When the two looked into the canvas bag, they couldn't help cheering. People are really easy to be satisfied. When they saw that the bag was only about twenty cans of water, they really cheered from the bottom of their hearts! Under their situation, there is really nothing more precious than drinking water! In the following time, they all put on life jackets, and fixed the bag on the life jackets, and tied the life jackets on the two of them together. After doing all this, Yuan Zhenxia and Haitang looked at each other He said: "If this continues until the end of life, it would be very romantic!" There was a strange brilliance in Haitang's eyes, but it immediately became gloomy, as if a thick fog had covered her eyes, and she said sadly: "What's the use? It's just tied my body, can't live in our souls." When Yuan Zhenxia didn't know how to answer, she said again: "Even the body can't be tied. If we die, the fish will eat us, and our bones will fall apart one by one. Can't stay whole, what's the romance of being tied together!" Yuan Zhenxia's voice sounded extremely dry: "Why do you insist on telling the unbeautiful side? And, you said it so clearly!" 海棠干笑了一声：“不说，还不是一样会有那种事发生，何必自欺欺人？” 原振侠喃喃地：“保留一定美丽的想像，总是好的！” 海棠没有再说什么，自然是由于他们如今这样的处境，绝不适宜争辩任何问题之故。 原振侠叹了一声，他知道，这是他和海棠、和黄娟之间最大的差别！他喜欢沉醉在美丽的想像之中，有意地去逃避一些现实，但是黄娟和海棠，却极度正视现实，对现实不存丝毫幻想！ 这种不同的情形，实在很难分出谁是谁非来，无非是因为性格的不同，因此观点互异而已。 海面仍然相当平静，浓雾在海面上滚来滚去，他们可以察觉到，正顺着海流，在面前飘着，他们都希望，能遇上别的救生艇，或者是黄娟的货船，甚至是别的船只，最好不要等到白天，因为在白天，在猛烈的阳光下，全身泡在海水中，是十分难受的煎熬，更不必说可能遇随时出没的鲨鱼了！ 他们一起扶住了那板子，靠在一起，海棠侧头，靠着原振侠的肩，神情相当平静，两人都不说话，一直到浓雾渐渐消散，天际出现了曙光，海棠才叹了一声：“我反倒感到十分平静，比起不住地担心完不成任务，要受到惩罚来……反倒更平静些！” 海棠的话，说得又真挚又伤感，因此可知她平时的日子，是过得如何提心吊胆，惊心动魄，真不知她是怎么在抵受的！原振侠心中一阵难过，用头在海棠的头上抵着，转动着，表示着他心中的同情，又低声道：“可怜的小海棠！” 海棠吁着气：“有你可怜，就不算可怜！” 原振侠舐着唇，拉开了一罐食口，两人轮流小口地喝着，朝阳就在这时，驱散浓雾，缓缓地升了起来。 海上日出的景色很壮丽，但别对全身浸在海水中，生死难卜的人形容，因为他们所想到的只是太阳升起之后，他们所要受的苦楚！ 他们需要以惊人的体力和意志力，才能克服身处的困难，而更能令人意志力崩溃的是，他们全然不知道，噩运什么时候才会结束！ 他们互望着，互相以眼神鼓励着对方，当朝阳渐渐升起时，他们又用额互相抵着，尽可能避免日光直接射向脸上。可是，日光实在太猛烈了，到了中午，他们的脸上、头上，都已受到了灼伤，红肿的伤处，又无可避免地要和海水接触，那又带来了一阵阵的剧痛。 他们都咬紧牙关抵受着，双手紧握着，太阳像是固定了留在他们头顶一样，好不容易等到日头略为偏西一点，他们的口唇，都已经裂了开来。血点从裂开的部分，一点一点泌出来。 在又消耗了一罐食水之后，海棠突然勾住了原振侠的颈，四片裂开的唇碰在一起，有刺心的疼痛，有海水的咸苦，也有鱼的腥味，这样的热吻，世上能享受到的男女，只怕为数绝少。 海棠在喘着气，挣扎着说：“我还是宁愿现在这样！”原振侠叹了好几下，心中想说：“既然这样，为什么不脱离那种非人生活？” 可是，他却只是在心中想着，并没有讲出来。 因为他知道，海棠就算下定决心，要改变她的生活，她所属的组织，也决不会允许她那样做！而她所属的那个组织，是几乎无可抗拒的庞大势力！海棠的一生，注定了是悲剧！ 悲剧的程度之深，到了这时生死难卜的海上漂流，对她来说，竟然当了是一种享受，一种心情上远较生活安宁的享受！ 好不容易，通红的夕阳，慢慢地隐没，海面上金光闪耀。 天色正迅速地黑了下来，就在这时，雾还未生，晚霞变成深紫色时，他们看到了一艘船！ 毫无疑问，那是一艘船。 离他们还相当远，可是他们都可以看到船身和船桅，那是一艘帆船，可是没有支着帆，可能是一艘机帆船。 原振侠不由自主，发出了一下呼叫声，可是他立时意识到，叫喊是没有用的，他开始用力挥着手，希望在天色还没有完全黑下来之前，那艘帆船上的人，可以发现他们。 他们飘出的方向，看来是正在接近那艘帆船，可是帆船像是未曾发现他们，天色迅速黑了下来，雾并不浓，但是帆船已经看不清楚了。 原振侠陡然之间，发现了一件事，他失声道：“那船上……一点灯光也没有！” 海棠的声音极度干涩：“是，我早就注意到了，那是一艘——” 原振侠叫了起来：“难民船！” 那是一艘难民船！ 他们希望船上的人能救他们，但船上的人，也正希望别人能救他们。 原振侠急速地喘着气：“不论怎样，他们的处境，总比我们好些！” 难民船上的情形再坏，自然比他们的情形好得多了。在不到廿四小时的漂流中，他们不但头脸上全是灼伤，而且手和手臂，都已被海水浸个发白，再过几个时，盐份侵入皮肤更多，就会浮肿，再多些时候，体内就会严重脱水…… 情况越来越严重，而身在船上，至少却可以避免海水的泡浸！ 原振侠沉声：“不管是什么船，我们要接近它！” 海棠咬着牙，点头表示同意，原振侠先举起手臂来，用力划进了水中，海棠也同样划着，一起向着那帆船出现的方向划去。 他们无法知道划了多久，只是觉得到后来，手臂每划动一下，所需要支出的力量，简直要令得他们在咬紧牙关之后，全身还是像要散开一样。 但终于，在薄雾和黑暗之中，他们看到了那幽灵一样浮在海面的帆船；而且，渐渐在接近它，一直到可以看到船上的人——那些看来一动也不动的形体，自然是人，可是却了无生气，叫他们怀疑，那是不是人！ 等到距离更近时，原振侠又很自然地叫了起来，这时才看到，船上有几个人影，动了一下。 船上的那些人，动作缓慢之极，好一会，才来到船舷上，向他们望来。 原振侠停止了呼叫，船上那些人，也没有什么虽的动作，只是看着他们。原振侠和海棠再用力划了几十下，伸手可以碰到船身，他们抓住了自船舷边上悬下来的一些绳索，向船上攀去。 等到他们翻过了船舷，看清了船上的情形之际，他们就像是突然之间，由海水之中，浸进了冰水中一样，甚至禁不住发起颤来！ 船上至少有五十多个人，可是还有活动能力的人，不超过十个，全是年轻的男性，而他们的行动，也慢得比电影中的慢镜头更慢，而且，毫无例外地，每个人的头脸上，都有着白白的一层盐花，那层颜色暧味奇诡之极的盐花，散发着死亡的气息，映得那些人的口唇，呈纵裂的死灰，连眼珠也是呆滞的灰白色。 他们在行动之际，并没有什么声音发出来，连眼珠都不转动，那几个，算是正向他们望来的人，脸上的表情，全都怪异莫名。而另一些老老少少和女人，一动不动地躺着或蹲着，看起来就和死人无异！ 刹那之间，原振侠和海棠两人，都有自己置身于地狱之船的感觉，仿佛这艘帆船，是承载着一群半死不活的人驶向地狱的……或者说，是承载着一群才从地狱出来的冤魂，还未曾苏醒过来，不知道他们已经到了人间。 船上没有哀哭，没有号叫，没有流血，甚至没有呻吟，可是那种濒临死亡的悲惨，那种极度的绝望，却像是无数支又冷又利的箭一样，从四方八面攒射着，使人不寒而栗，把不住发抖。 作为一个医生，原振侠在第一眼就可以发现船上的所有人，都因为严重的脱水而在死亡的边缘上挣扎，其中有几个人可能早已死了，只是由于大多数人都在静止不动的状态之中，所以连死活都难以分得清楚。 在眼见这样可怖的情形之下，原振侠陡然之间，感到了极度的口渴——那并不是他生理上需要水，而是他心理上需要水！ 他们有一背包的食水，大约还有近二十罐，原振侠自然而然取出一罐来，打开，可是他还未曾把罐头凑向唇边，船上所有死灰的眼珠，凡是还能转动的，突然都一起转动着，充满死亡诡异的眼光，一起向他望了过来，那令得原振侠陡然之间，动作僵硬，竟然不知如何才好！那十来个还能行动的人，都一起叫了起来。 那些人的叫声，嘶哑到了难以形容的地步，而许多由于严重缺水，干瘪了的、布满了盐花的手，都向他伸了过来，原振侠在很久之后，还常梦见这种情景，他告诉人，当时，真的以为会给那些干枯的手，直推进地狱的尽头去！ 那些人不但挥舞着手臂，而且还向原振侠移近，幸而他们的动作依然十分缓慢，使原振侠有镇定一下的时间，而海棠在这时，也以十分清楚的声音道：“我们有一点水，每人可以分到几口，不要争！” 那些在移动的人，都停了下来，望向他们的死灰的眼睛，又定了下来，原振侠那时，也不再考虑水分完了之后会怎么样，他和海棠，用极快的动作，把食水取出来，尽可能平均地分给那些人，每个人分到的水，不会多过两百CC，但是在极度的干渴之中，这些水，却可以使生命延续下去。 那一些分量的水，会使人已麻木了的口渴之感，更汹涌，而且，渴得简直要撕心裂肺，所以有几个看来身子比较壮健的人，在喝了自己的那一份之后，还想去抢夺别人的，原振侠和海棠两人，眼明手快，把想去抢他人食水的，全都打开去。 等到原振侠和海棠表示食水已分送完毕之后，所有原来不动的人，又维持着原来的姿式不动，另外几个人，眼望着原振侠，口唇翕张着，可是却发不出正常的声音来。 原振侠也没有多问他们什么，因为就算问了，所得到的回答，一定也是一个标准的难民故事：海上漂流，粮尽水绝，只是在等死了，目的地在何处，何时可以到达，船上的人，没有一个知道！ 仅仅为了自由，仅仅为了逃避一个暴虐的政权，人竟然可以付出那么高的代价！ 原振侠望着那些人发呆，海棠轻轻地碰了原振侠一下，两人交换了一下眼色，在船尾的一角，坐了下来。海水十分平静，船也在缓缓漂动。他们坐了下来之后，海棠才低声道：“我们……情形好像更糟！” 原振侠苦笑了一下，他们现在，不必泡浸在海水之中，可是，本来可以维持他们两人至少十天的食水，却全部分光了。 如今的处境是更好了，还是更坏了，实在难说得很！原振侠沉声：“能不能弄出一些求救的信号？应该有人在附近的！” 原振侠心目中“有人在附近”，指的是另外几艘救生艇，甚至是那艘货船，如果能发出求救信号，使他们看到，那自然是获救之道。 海棠听了之后，想了一想，没有回答，深吸了一口气，身子向原振侠靠了一靠，低声道：“要是没有人来救，倒也平静得很！” 原振侠苦笑起来：“生死线上的挣扎，比你日常的生活还要平静？” 海棠没有回答，她缓缓地掠开了贴在脸上的湿发，俏脸之上，一片迷惘，眼神更是惘然和布满了雾一样——是的，这时，海面之上，又迅速地有浓雾在展布，原振侠先是注意到了海棠双眼中的迷惘，才注意到了海面上的雾，越来越浓。 他有点情不自禁，陡然在海棠还润湿的唇上，吻了一下，同时心头一震，那片美丽诱人的口唇，不要四十八小时，就会因为缺水而干裂，殷红变成灰白，润湿变成干枯，弹性变成开裂，毫无例外，生命渐渐远去，最后，接管一切的，便是死亡！ 海棠也突然激动起来，紧搂住原振侠，两人身上的衣服全是湿的，当身体贴得紧密时，互相之间可以感到对方的体温。 他们不知拥抱了多久，实在是十分奇怪，在这段时间中，他们甚至都没有去想，脑中只是一片空白，只是全心全意在享受着两人间的相拥。 等到他们又对外界的一切有了感觉时，雾更浓了。在一团团浓雾中，船上那些不动的人，看起来更如幽灵——比真正的幽灵更可怕，因为他们毕竟还是活人！ 原振侠和海棠一定是同时想到了那一点的，因为他们两人，同时发出了“啊”的一下低呼声来！ 他们互望了一眼，知道大家心中想的，都是同一件事！在如今这样的情景下，应该是“拯救女神”出现的时刻。在被救的难民的叙述中，都是在绝境中的浓雾里，拯救女神突然出现，那么，现在，她是不是会出现呢？ 一想到这一点，原振侠和海棠两人，都不由自主，精神一振，互相握着手，怀着满膛希望，等待着。 海面上极静，船上也极静，浓雾似乎能起着掩盖声音的作用，船上偶然有一两下呻吟声发出来，人到了真正绝望时，是连呻吟声都懒得发出来的。 像他们那样的等待，可以说是最难抵受的一种无望的等待！ 拯救女神可能会出现，但是也有可能，根本不会出现！不错，她曾出现过，也救过不少人，但是她所救的人，和成千上万在海上漂流的难民人数相比较，只占了极少数！ 极少数的幸运者能蒙她所救，更多的不幸者从此消失在汪洋大海之中，再也没有人知道他们的结局。 在这种情形下，她来拯救这艘船上的难民的或然率是多少？ 不多久之后，原振侠和海棠，就同时想到了这个问题，他们眼中兴奋的神情已减退，海棠忽然低声道：“如果她有能力利用自己脑部的活动，使人脑的能力进入电脑，操纵电脑，那么，不知道她是不是有能力接收他人脑部活动时所发出的能量？” 海棠的话，听来是无头无脑的，可是原振侠却明白了她的意思：“你的意思是，如果我们不断地想，要她来救我们，她有可能收到我们脑部活动发出的信息？” 海棠认真地点了点头，原振侠却认真地摇了摇头。 当海棠用讶异的神情望向他的时候，他道：“船上所有人，都在想着有人来救他们，如果她有这能力，就一定会出现。我们如果想她来，她只怕反而不出现了，因为从她出现的情形来看，她似乎并不想公开露面，不想成为……成为被采访和被研究的对象！” 海棠同意了原振侠的看法，叹了一声：“她……在逃避什么呢？” 原振侠把海棠拉向自己的怀中，他们两人，竟同时向对方问出了一句话：“你又在逃避什么？” 两人在话一出口之后，一起苦笑了起来。每一个人都会逃避些什么，可是究竟为什么要逃避，逃避的是什么，只怕当事人的心中也一片惘然，说不出所以然来！
