274 The Signal from under the Ocean (2/2)
”What happened?” His rushed voice made Bernie sitting in the control room jump as she slowed the boat down out of instinct.
”What happened?” Seeing Jiang Chen panic, Liu Yao who stood outside also stared at Jiang Chen in confusion.
Jiang Chen didn't explain anything, he looked at the screen with the GPS tracker and glanced at the route they passed through.
”First, go back around one nautical mile.”
”Go back?” Bernie puzzledly looked at Jiang Chen, ”But there is nothing there.”
Jiang Chen immediately calmed down when he heard her question.
He was certain that something was hidden inside the sea. Although he didn't know what it was, it had to do with Klein particles.
Crystals? But how would this world have that?
Regardless of what was hidden, he could not let anyone know.
When he thought about this, Jiang Chen glanced at the screen with the GPS coordinates again as he memorized the approximate location. Then, he changed into a casual voice.
”Nothing, I just saw a dolphin, but he must have swum away already by now.”
”A dolphin?” When Bernie heard Jiang Chen's' words, she paused for a moment before she let out a breath of relief. ”Once we reach the Great Barrier Island, you'll see a lot of cute little ones in the area.”
When she saw Jiang Chen rush into the control room, she thought there was a problem with the boat.
But it was only a dolphin.
”Is that so? I am looking forward to it then.” Jiang Chen also smiled as he left the control room.
Seeing Jiang Chen come out, Liu Yao walked towards him worriedly and caringly asked.
”What happened? I, I saw you were really rushed...”
”Nothing, I only saw a few dolphins.”
Although she acutely sensed that Jiang Chen wasn't telling the truth, she didn't persist on the topic any further.
If Jiang Chen were willing to tell her, then he would do so. If he was unwilling, then persisting would only make him feel annoyed.
”Is that so? Then that's disappointing, I wanted to take a photo with the dolphins.” After hugging onto Jiang Chen right arm, Liu Yao playfully pouted her mouth.
The 16 nautical miles quickly came to an end.
The waves splashed white, at the apex where the sea and sky connected, a beautiful outline gradually appeared.
When she saw the thick green vegetation, as well as the soaring seagulls, Liu Yao cheered again in excitement.
The two spent the entire afternoon diving in the water near the Great Barrier Island and taking pictures with the cute dolphins, fishing for fishes, teasing the clownfish hidden amongst the sea anemone, and chasing each other between the beautiful corals.
Time flew by quickly as if it had instantly turned to dusk.
After watching the sunset on the deck, Jiang Chen told Bernie to return to port.
Although he still wanted to stay a bit longer by the sea, because of his unsettled mind, he didn't choose to stay longer but rather asked Bernie to send them back to the hotel.
With the help of the hotel workers, Bernie docked the boat.
”Are you not going to stay a bit longer? You rented the boat for a day. It is a great experience to stay on the boat overnight,” Looking at the two people saying goodbye, Bernie asked them.
”It's okay, I remembered I have something to take care of,” Jiang Chen declined her proposal as Jiang Chen held Liu Yao's hand and they went back to the hotel.
He desperately wanted to know, when they passed by the water northwest of Jackson port, what was actually hidden there.
He had a premonition that that thing might have something to do with the video.
