The captain of the boat was John's daughter. Her name was Bernie.
Just like her father, she was also someone that loved the sea. Because of this, while she had blonde hair unique to Caucasian people, her skin was tanned.
The boat was moving quickly, at 50 knots, in the Hauraki Bay towards the Great Barrier Island.
When Jiang Chen looked back, the outline of the port had already disappeared from the sea, only a few black dots soaring on the horizon could be seen.
”Woah-!”
Intoxicated by the fresh air, Liu Yao excitedly took off her white shirt as she stood on the edge of the deck and shouted into the distance.
Of course, she changed into a bikini when she was at the hotel.
”Careful don't fall off.” Jiang Chen looked at her liveliness and smiled.
”If I fall off, will you save me?” Liu Yao asked playfully.
”Of course,” Jiang Chen had a smirk on his face, ”But I heard there are sharks in this area, how much I can save would be questionable.”
Liu Yao shivered exaggeratedly as she jumped from the edge of the deck and rolled her eyes.
”There are typically no sharks in the Hauraki Bay, but there are actually quite a few dolphins here. If we are lucky we might be able to see whales. If we head north of the Lesser Barrier Island, that will change,” Bernie who sat in the captain's room heard their conversation and explained.
Surprisingly, this foreigner, Bernie, spoke Han. Although not fluently, it was enough to maintain a conversation.
As if Bernie had read the question in Jiang Chen's eyes, she explained with a smile, ”My boyfriend is Han, he taught me the language. There are a lot of Han tourists here. Usually, if Han tourists head out to the sea, I will be their captain and guide.”
”Where are we now?” Liu Yao extended her neck. With one hand covering the sunlight, she watched the distance in excitement.
”We have arrived Northwest of the Jackson port already, around 16 nautical miles from the Great Barrier Island. It is a good place to view the undersea corals.”
”How much longer?” Liu Yao couldn't wait any longer.
”With our current speed, around 20 minutes.” Bernie smiled.
”I am really looking forward to it,” Liu Yao looked afar before grabbing onto Jiang Chen's arm, she said coyly, ”Could you take photos for me? I want pictures with the clownfish.”
”Of course.” He felt the softness of her 36D and laughed.
”Honey you are the best, muaa.” Liu Yao naughtily winked.
Jiang Chen was just about to tease her when he felt the arm of his other hand vibrate.
The vibration came from his EP.
Communication? Did something urgent happen in the apocalypse?
”What is this?” Liu Yao looked curiously at Jiang Chen's arm.
”A special kind of electronic watch... I need to go to the washroom,” Jiang Chen gave a brief explanation before he walked inside.
Although still confused, Liu Yao didn't ask more as she stayed outside.
After going inside, Jiang Chen immediately opened the EP and started the communication channel.
”Strange,” Looking at the static white screen, Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
It was not from the apocalypse.
The fourth-dimensional messenger received Klein particle waves, but the wave could not be decoded into a video message.
”Could it be because of the poor signal?”
The signal began to fade.
Looking at the blurry whiteness that began to fade, Jiang Chen suddenly realized something as he rushed out the door.
”Bernie, stop the boat, quickly,” Jiang Chen pushed open the control room as he hastily said.
