Deep Sea Diary [Another World]

Chapter 12

So far, Xia Chuan and Dennis finally discovered that all conjectures such as "under such circumstances, what a normal person should do" are just farts on Shenlan, and they have no predictive effect at all.This person does not play cards according to common sense at all, and has been working against common sense.

Dennis hugged his black backpack in disbelief, and chased for another ten meters, his feet almost stepped on the seawater that rushed ashore.

He stretched his neck and looked around the sea, then ran back with Bao Shen in his arms, retracted his head behind the boulder and sat down, pointed to the sea with his thumb, and said to Xia Chuan: "He, he I really jumped into it, and when I plunged in, it disappeared, what a ghost!"

After finishing speaking, he swallowed his saliva and stayed in a daze for a while, then lowered his head and flipped through his bag as if remembering something, without pulling twice, he suddenly raised his head to look at Xia Chuan, his lips trembling: "Chuan...you say, He can't really be a ghost?!"

Xia Chuan gave him a cool look: "What kind of mess do you study in the studio all day?"

"It's two different things..." Dennis argued, "I'm engaged in energy efficiency calculations. Although I occasionally go to the biology group next door, it's just to chat with Professor Linton. He was telling me about his little dinosaurs. Now that I think about it, it’s fortunate that I listened a little bit, otherwise it would be a black eye to come to this kind of ghost place—”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Chuan, touched his nose and added, "Well, even if you can tell what kind of dragon it is, it doesn't seem to be of much use."

Xia Chuan didn't answer his words, but scanned around.

The wind and waves on the sea have no tendency to stop yet, and the sound of the tide catches up with each other for a long time.The temperature also gradually dropped. Although it is not related to the word "cold", it is still very cold, especially for two people who are all wet.

Dennis almost counted the goosebumps popping out of his head one after another. He rubbed his arms, and just as he was shocked, he saw Xia Chuan stand up while supporting the boulder.

"You, why are you standing suddenly—eh? Where are you going?" He had just finished speaking when Xia Chuan suddenly walked towards the forest.

He hesitated for a moment, but followed with his bag in his arms: "Chuan, you don't want to go into the forest, do you?" As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chuan turned around and raised his hand at him, making a "stop" gesture However, Dennis listened to him very much, stopped walking without saying a word, and held his breath incidentally.

Dennis stopped, but Xia Chuan himself did not stop, but continued to walk a few steps towards the woods.His legs were straight and slender, and he walked fast when he took big strides, but he landed lightly and steadily, like a vigorous and elegant black panther, quietly walking to the edge of the forest in the deep night.

It looked good from a distance, but when he got close, Xia Chuan felt that the trees in this forest were all ridiculously tall, covering the top of his head in darkness, giving him an extremely strong sense of oppression.

There was really no light at night, so dark that even the outlines of the trees were unclear, let alone what kind of plants they were.However, Xia Chuan's purpose of approaching them is not to recognize their species.

He walked around the edge of the forest, carefully scanning the ground with his eyes.Dennis, who stayed where he was, didn't even dare to move his neck, so he could only wait for Xia Chuan's return with his whole body stiff and anxious.

After a while, Dennis finally saw Xia Chuan leaving the forest and walking back, he was relieved.

When he got closer, he realized that Xia Chuan was holding a pile of dry branches of different thicknesses in his hands. He didn't know how long he had been picking in the forest to pick out such a few damp ones.

Returning to the boulder, Dennis dug a hole on the ground very consciously, and Xia Chuan stacked the dry branches on the hole. The branches he piled up were not inferior to Dark Blue, and the gaps were just right, neither stuffy nor loose.

After setting up the pile of branches, he took Dennis to search around the coast and brought back a pile of large and small stones.He put the two largest ones beside him and Dennis to block the wind on both sides, and he used the shorter ones to half-enclose the stack of branches, which not only blocked the slanting wind, but also blocked some firelight.

After arranging everything, he pressed his back with some dull pain, sat down again leaning against the boulder, reached out and patted the black backpack in Dennis's arms, and said, "Lighter."

Dennis fumbled in the bag for a while, then found a lighter from his waterproof bag and handed it to Xia Chuan. For the first time, he felt that having a bag with him when going out was the most fortunate thing in the world.

However, Xia Chuan took the lighter and twirled it in his hand, but instead of lighting a fire, he unceremoniously opened Dennis's bag, flipped it twice with his pale and thin fingers, and never closed it again. Dennis's leather-bound notebook was pulled out of his waterproof pouch.

"Hey - that's my diary." Dennis subconsciously called out.

Xia Chuan didn't even lift his eyelids, and said lightly, "I'm not bored enough to peek at your diary." After speaking, he opened the notebook, tore a blank page from the middle, and handed the notebook back to Dennis. He folded the pages of paper twice.

He held the paper with his left hand, turned the lighter with his right hand, and pressed his thumb, and the warm yellow thin flames lit up.

Xia Chuan burned a corner of the paper with a lighter, and then threw the rapidly burning paper on the stacked dry branches.

With the support of the paper, the dry branches quickly touched the fire and burned quietly.Because the number of dry branches Xia Chuan found was not too many, and the thickness was just right, so the fire that was burned was not too big or small, and it was covered by stones, just enough for two people to keep warm, and to dry their drenched body by the way. Clothes, but not because they are too conspicuous, attracting some things that shouldn't be provoked.

They are equivalent to using stones to surround themselves with a nest, and there is a small fire in the nest.The dry branches "snapped" from time to time when they burned, but they were submerged in the sound of the waves of the sea, so it didn't seem abrupt.The hot air spread out with the trembling flames, and the drenched clothes became less cold and sticky, making the two of them feel better immediately.

Dennis buried his head in the bag and rummaged through it for a while, then took out the previously opened bottle of soda water and the medicine bag very sensibly, and handed them to Xia Chuan.

Under the current situation, Xia Chuan didn't have the time to study why his healing ability became stronger.Since the anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers are effective for his injuries, he continued to eat. The injuries on his lower back had a great impact on his agility of movement, and it would be great if he could recover sooner.

But this time, instead of taking painkillers, he only swallowed two anti-inflammatory pills, drank a small sip of water, and handed the things back to Dennis, then folded his arms, leaned on the boulder and closed his eyes to rest When I got up, my breathing was even and light, almost inaudible, as if I fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

Dennis carefully scanned the surroundings, and after thinking about it, he moved to Xia Chuan's side again, almost squeezing Xia Chuan to sit.In such a situation, the ancestor next to him, who was frightened to death, could rest calmly, but he couldn't.Don't talk about sleeping, Dennis now only thinks that blinking is a dangerous thing, as if when he closes his eyes, a giant will jump out of the woods and gnaw off his head.

Even though he was also very sleepy, he could only hold on to his energy, pinched and squeezed to keep himself awake, after torturing himself for a while, he finally found something out of his bag to pass the time——

It was a black box, the cover could be as big as a large-screen mobile phone, about ten centimeters high, with a simple electronic display on one side, and a row of knobs on the other side, red, yellow and yellow, filling a palm number.

When Xia Chuan saw this thing before, he just felt confused and couldn't recognize what it was for.But Dennis was skillfully adjusting the row of knobs, some of which were unceremoniously turned several times as soon as they came up, while others were fine-tuning with the tips of his fingers bit by bit, and from time to time he would lift up the adjusted black box, He leaned close to his ear and listened for a while, then frowned and continued, not knowing why.

Facts have proved that this matter that requires hands-on work is not much better than being in a daze, and it still can't save Dennis from the heavy and deep sleepiness.

He didn't fiddle with it for a long time before he nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. In the end, he just embraced the black box as a hard pillow, curled up on the cover of the black box and fell asleep completely...

I don't know how long it took, the sky began to get brighter, the storm gradually subsided, and the waves gradually flattened. When the whole coast seemed much quieter, the black box in Dennis's hand suddenly made two "sizzling" noises. The sound was slightly lower than that of mosquitoes and flies flapping their wings. Even if a person is awake, it is easy to ignore the movement, let alone fall asleep.

However, Xia Chuandi, who was leaning on the boulder, opened his eyes suddenly. His eyes were light brown water, and reflected in the beating firelight, they looked extremely clear, not sleepy at all, and he was not just waking up. appearance.

He frowned and straightened up, then raised his hand and pushed Dennis' head aside, and brought the black box in his arms.

Although Xia Chuan's movement was not big, it was definitely not too small for Dennis, but Dennis still didn't wake up after provoking it like this. He just waved his hand, frowned and muttered a few words like chasing flies. Vague words, and then changed his posture and curled up again and fell asleep.

Xia Chuan gave him a look of admiration: "..."

Xia Chuan has never seen the black box in his hand a few times. It looks a bit like a voltage and ammeter used in the laboratory, but there are many more knobs than that, and the screen is different.

Holding the black box with his slender fingers, he flipped it around, then turned to the side with the screen, and carefully looked at the display on the screen for a while - the same shape as the black box, the display on the screen was also very simple Yes, there is only one line in total, fluctuating like an electrocardiogram.

Of course, not so regularly.

It is difficult to see the period of this wave line, because the fluctuation range is too small. If you glance at it from a distance, you will feel that it is no different from a straight line. Only when you look closely can you see the small fluctuations on it.

It's just that there is no explanation of half a letter on the screen for what exactly this wave line corresponds to. The workmanship is so simple that it looks like a semi-finished product.Xia Chuan frowned and looked at it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he had to stuff it back into Dennis's arms.

He glanced left and right, and the whole coast still looked like he and Dennis, the two larger panting creatures.Shen Lan really went with Xia Chuan and the others as he said, and never appeared again after diving into the sea, and he didn't know where his so-called foothold was in the sea.

Dennis said something half joking and half terrified before - he can't be a ghost, can he? !

Although Xia Chuan sneered, he had other thoughts in his heart.He felt that Shenlan couldn't be a ghost, after all, speaking of nonsense, at least he had feet and shadows, what kind of ghost was he like?But whether Shen Lan is a human... He is really not sure.

Although that definition sounds equally absurd.

Just when Xia Chuan's thoughts were about to run in the direction of philosophy, he vaguely smelled a fishy smell of the sea soaked in water vapor.The smell of the sea was vague and inexplicable, as if it had landed on the shore without a sound, and swam up to Xia Chuan's nose.

Normally, no matter how strong the smell of the sea is, after resting here all night, he should have gotten used to the smell long ago, and he was so numb that he could barely feel it.But now, the smell has suddenly become stronger, and there is only one possibility——

Xia Chuan stood up abruptly, turned around, and moved quickly and lightly. When his feet landed, there was almost no movement at all, like a cat with pads.

He stepped on the stone, leaned against the boulder and peeked towards the sea. With just this one glance, his muscles tensed up, but he slapped Dennis on his upturned face, and shouted in a low voice: "stand up!"

Dennis was taken aback by the photo, he jumped up, the black box in his arms rolled to the ground, and the sharp corner hit the soles of his feet, causing him to scream in pain, and he woke up completely while jumping with one foot in his arms. .Seeing Xia Chuan looking at the sea, his first reaction was: "What's wrong? Then who turned into a floating corpse and floated up?"

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

dennis: what's wrong?Then who turned into a floating corpse and floated up?

Dark Blue: Fuck your fart!

Xia Chuan Fu forehead: ... Can you not go to court one day to find death?

Dennis doge face: I just didn't wake up.

Deep Blue pulled a hole, threw him into it, and filled it with soil in seconds: Then you go to sleep, don't wake up, goodbye forever.

Dennis: ...
