Inside The Black Mist Chapter 1009: Black ice
About an hour later, the two ships finally came to a stop. There was no longer any pile of abandoned ships in this place.
Long Dan pointed to the direction not far away, which seemed to be the direction of a small island or a platform, and said, "Why don't we stop there."
A Kai glanced at him and said, "I'll give you a piece of advice, whether it's in the dark sea or anywhere else. When you're at sea, don't stop at these places casually. Don't think that land is safe. Sometimes, The land is more dangerous than the sea.”
Rentian shrugged his shoulders, smiled and did not respond.
A Kai picked up the communicator and got in touch with the opposite ship: "You can stay here for two hours. After two hours, we have to return."
Tang Yu smiled bitterly: "Can't we stay longer? Two hours, time is a little tight."
"I didn't complete the research this time, so I can come back next time. But if I lose my life here, I won't have a chance." After speaking, Ah Kai put down the communicator.
A moment later, Tang Yu's helpless voice sounded from the communicator: "Okay, listen to you."
Afterwards, basically nothing happened to Tianyang and the others.
They simply went to the deck to blow the wind. The place Ah Kai brought them to is the edge of the dark sea area. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke the black people in the sea, they don't have to worry about being attacked.
The opposite boat of the 'Murloc Association' kept a safe distance, and they were busy on the deck again. Tian Yang sat on the side of the boat, watching them curiously as they fiddled with various instruments.
After a while, he saw Ah Kai smoking a suffocating cigarette on the other side of the deck, patting his buttocks, Tianyang stood up and walked over.
"You probably didn't take us out to sea because of the box of gold bars."
Tianyang came not far from him, leaned on the boat, and said in a relaxed tone.
A Kai glanced at him, continued to smoke, and said after a while: "My wife is sick, and...very sick."
"When I married her, I was keen on exploring and taking risks. Even if I had a daughter with her, my love for the unknown of the reverse world has not diminished. Therefore, she was often neglected, and she even became seriously ill. , and I can’t take care of it by my side.”
"I owed her a lot, so when she asked to leave, I didn't keep her, I just cashed out all the valuable things, and then bought her and her daughter a house in the North District for them to live in .”
A Kai looked at the surface of the sea and said: "I haven't contacted her for several years, that's fine, so she can probably forget me and live a good life. But on the day you came to find me, my My daughter then found me."
"She said that her mother was sick. We rushed to the hospital. The doctor said that it would cost a lot of money to cure it. So I found you, and people called the 'Murloc Association'. They also I have been invited to act as a guide, but I have not accepted."
Tianyang was a little surprised, he couldn't see that A Kai, who was quite silent, cared very much for his wife, even though he had already separated, as soon as he heard that something happened to her, he immediately started raising money.
"So, is the money enough?"
A Kai nodded, showing a rare smile: "Enough."
"That's good. If it's not enough, tell me, I still have some." Tianyang smiled.
At this time, Gendan came over, took a nautical chart, spread it out in front of Kai and said, "Help me to see, do you know how to get to this place?"
Long Dan pointed to a corner of the chart, and Tian Yang glanced up, only to feel that this chart is... hard to describe.
A Kai glanced at that thing, then at Gentian: "You call this a nautical chart?"
Long Dan said embarrassingly: "Although the drawing is not detailed enough, you can still see the direction."
A Kai sneered: "You also know that it's not precise enough, but do you know that sometimes just a little difference is enough to kill a person at sea?"
"If you rely on this chart and want to take risks. I advise you to give up, or find a rope to hang yourself up, and die quickly."
Long Dan pointed at him and said, "Why are you doing this? This is too shocking."
"I said, Ah Kai, you have already gone to sea anyway, do you want to earn more money?"
Long Dan blinked his eyes and said: "I have something here, it records a certain place on the sea, why don't you take a look for me and draw me an accurate nautical chart, I will not treat you badly .”
"If you are willing to send us there, how about I give you another sum of money?"
A Kai didn't say anything, and after finishing his cigarette, he said: "Look and go."
"Follow me." Long Dan said excitedly, and took A Kai back to the control room.
Tianyang said in surprise: "He didn't carry that 'key' with him, did he?"
Moonlight chuckled: "No way, he got that gemstone down. We tried, as long as we pour energy into that gemstone, we can activate some images stored in it."
"That Gentian guy, you've got the gems on you."
Tianyang felt relieved.
At this moment, he heard a light sound coming from the side of the ship, as if something had hit the hull. Tianyang poked his head out to watch, and it turned out to be a piece of ice.
A piece of black ice, which floated on the surface of the sea, was sent here by the sea, and lightly hit the hull.
"Strange, there is obviously volcanic activity under the seabed outside. Why is there ice here?" Although Tianyang was curious, he didn't check it out. He just took a look at the black ice and sat down.
The 'Murloc Association' also quickly discovered black ice in the sea. They used instruments to fish out a piece.
A researcher in a protective suit cautiously used a pair of clips to hold the black ice layer, put it in a container, and took it into the cabin.
The ship 'Murloc Association' has a small laboratory in the cabin, where some simple tests can be done.
The researchers put the container in black ice into the holographic scanning machine, then took out an electronic board, and manipulated the scanning machine to start working. The scanner shoots out rays of light and sweeps up and down to obtain some basic data.
These data were presented on the screen of the researcher's electronic board. At first, he didn't feel anything unusual. But in the end, some information sent out by the scanner showed that there were some cell tissues in the ice layer.
"There are cells and tissues?"
The researchers put down the electronic board, turned on an instrument, first took out the black ice in the container, then cut the next part, and put it on the observer.
With the help of electronic observers, the researchers discovered that there were cells and tissues in the black ice, but these tissues were undergoing changes, and they lost their cellular characteristics in just a few seconds. Judging from the arrangement of the molecular structure, they turned from cell tissue into frost!
"It's impossible."
The researchers were taken aback. No matter how low the temperature is, even if the cell tissue is frozen, there will be no qualitative change.
But now, a piece of cell tissue was in front of his eyes, as if influenced by some kind of force, it assimilated with the ice layer.
They become a part of the ice, a member of the structure of the ice.
If this is the case, then at the beginning, this piece of black ice was not an ice layer, but muscle tissue stripped from a certain creature?
This thought sent chills down the back of the researcher. What kind of power is it that can change the nature of creatures and turn them into black ice?
The researchers did not notice that at this moment, certain changes were taking place in the laboratory.
On a table next to it, the water in a cup is showing tiny black crystals that are hard to see with the naked eye.
Beside, in a test tube, black crystals quietly appeared at the bottom of the light yellow reagent.
Even on the researcher's biochemical suit, a few drops of water quietly turned into black frost and adhered to the biochemical suit.
Before the researchers discovered these anomalies, he heard an exclamation from outside the cabin, and hurriedly put away his things and walked out of the laboratory.
The edge of the piece of black ice exposed to the air is gradually expanding. The air in the laboratory gradually became dry, and the moisture in the air disappeared mysteriously...
On the deck, Tian Yang, who was in a daze, heard the exclamation of the opposite ship, and couldn't help turning his head to look over. They seemed to have salvaged something from under the boat and put it on the deck.
Even their team leader, Tang Yu, was alarmed and ran over in a hurry. Although Tianyang was curious, he didn't lose his manners, so he crossed the boat to see what happened.
I saw several researchers gathered in a circle over there, and they didn't know what they were studying, and they were all amazed.
Tianyang only heard the words 'ice layer' and 'corpse', as if they salvaged a large piece of black ice from under the boat, and a corpse appeared inside.
But even if a body is found in the ice, don't be so surprised.
In the control room, Long Dan and A Kai came out. Long Dan was smiling and kept giving thumbs up to A Kai. It seems that Ah Kai has already drawn the sea chart, otherwise, Long Dan would not be so happy.
After the two of them stepped onto the deck, they also noticed something unusual on the opposite ship. Gendan was not as reserved as Tianyang. He walked to the side of the ship, opened his throat and shouted: "What did you find? Can you tell me?" , let us also open our eyes?"
Tang Yu squeezed out from the crowd and walked to the side of the ship with a confused look on his face, as if he had seen something incredible: "We salvaged a piece of ice that floated from afar, and found some kind of ice in it. The corpse of a creature."
Gentian grinned: "I thought it was something, what's so strange about the corpses of creatures frozen in the ice."
Tang Yu frowned, as if looking for the right words to explain: "If it's just like this, it's not surprising. The strange thing is that the corpses in the ice are gradually disappearing..."
Hearing these words, Ah Kai's face changed, and he rushed to the side of the boat and looked down. With the light, he could see that a lot of black ice had accumulated near the hull.
He took a deep breath, turned around and shouted: "Throw that thing away immediately, quick!"
