Chapter 248 (1/2)
The sea presents a dark blue different from the sky. The breeze blows and the surging ripples crisscross, like raw natural ore. The sun shines on the sea, sparkling, like a layer of shining scales.
An oval thing broke the water, floated from the sea, and then plunged into the water. It looked like a huge blue whale. However, its color is as black as ink, which is very eye-catching in the rolling white spray. Then its slender body was completely exposed and floated steadily on the water.
This is an old looking submarine with a mottled hull like moldy boar skin. Rusty antennas are exposed on the command tower with a fin on its back.
The cabin inside the boat is damp and dark, and the aging power lines are connected with dazzling high-power incandescent lamps. The control cabin and the activity room are full of sundries, many of which are old things for some years, emitting a special musty smell of isolation from the world.
However, a young man sitting in the lounge is as refreshing and moving as a lotus in the mud. He has an oriental face, but he has a bit of Western aristocratic temperament. His manner was elegant and noble, and even if he sat there motionless, he showed the demeanor of a gentleman. In any case, the messy, dirty and decadent environment does not seem to affect him. His white clothes were as new as they had just been taken out of the wardrobe of the British royal family.
There are two computers in the lounge, which is the only thing that looks relatively new. The old movie ”20000 miles under the sea” is playing on one of the computers, but I don't know whether it is because there is no speaker or some other reason. The film has only picture and no sound.
Living in such an old and cramped cabin is a pain. If a girl comes to such a place, she will try her best to escape immediately. But if she saw the elegant and handsome man in the cabin, she would immediately forget all the unhappiness brought to her by the sight, smell and touch of the old submarine, and would like to stay with this man forever.
About the same is true of men's fantasies. If this is a brilliant fantasy story, the submarine should save a mermaid princess who is perfect for our prince at sea. As a result, the tortuous and bizarre love across the land and sea will be earth shaking.
However, when the hatch opened, it was not a mermaid princess who came in, but a bearded Western man.
The man was so tall that he had to bend down and walk through the aisle and hatch when he came in. However, after entering the door, he didn't straighten his waist completely. It seems that he never had the courage to straighten his waist in front of this noble and handsome man.
His face is full of vicissitudes that have been pickled by the salt and humidity of the sea all the year round, and the fishy smell of hairtail still emanates from his curly and messy hair.
He stood in front of the handsome young man and said in English with a strong Russian accent, ”Mr. stone, I hope it doesn't disturb your elegance.”
If watching silent TV can also be called Yaxing, what other elegant things can be said in this world? But in the eyes of the bearded Russian, there is no more desirable entertainment on the submarine except watching movies.
”Where have we been, Ivan?” asked the handsome man known as Mr. stone.
”Sir, our current position is 31.3 ° south latitude and 152.5 ° west longitude.” Ivan unconsciously becomes a gentleman when he speaks in front of Mr. stone. However, he can't change his rough voice. It sounds uncoordinated, but it is a bit simple and lovely.
”Still nothing?” stone asked.
”No,” Ivan replied.
”Keep cruising and let me know if you find anything,” Stone said.
”But...” Ivan looked a little hesitant.
