Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 234 Pictured

----

Although more than an hour later than expected, the seaplane finally arrived at the destination without any risk.When the young man piloting the plane bid farewell to Lu You and the others, there was almost no fear of fatigue on his face, only an expression of excitement to show off to someone.But before he left, a middle-aged man with deep wrinkles on his face came up to him, stopped him and began to speak fiercely, and within a few words, his head drooped and his excitement was gone. .

Lu You watched nervously as the middle-aged man walked towards them again, for fear that he would yell at them because it was Qi Zhengyun who was going to see the seaweed, but he and Qi Zhengyun said a few words in a very cautious tone, He bowed to Qi Zhengyun again as if apologizing—although his face was still as rigid as a stone, his eyes were also wary.

After the two people with similar looks left, Qi Zhengyun translated it to Lu You: The middle-aged man is the driver's uncle, and he even took the guests to visit after learning that he took the strange and interesting sight of the ocean anomaly that foretells danger. , scolded him bloody for his stupid behavior, and came over to apologize for him.Lu You heard a word that was pronounced "Puza" in the local dialect repeated many times during the conversation. It was the driver's name, and another word "Fanuo" that appeared frequently also meant volcano.

From this distance, the water vapor rising in the distance can no longer be seen. The turbulence of the seabed subsidence has attenuated a lot when it was transmitted here, and no very huge waves were formed, but the originally calm sea water became turbulent like a rising tide.On the contrary, fish schools that are very sensitive to water temperature were driven by the warm current heated by the lava, and fled to the shore in a panic. They jumped out of the sea with the waves and fell on the beach, attracting many people to crowd to watch or pick them up.

This sea area is originally located in a relatively fragile and unstable zone on the earth's crust. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are not uncommon, but it has been a long time since any major disasters have occurred, so tourism can be developed.There are also small craters that are active all year round on several islands, which together with the hot springs have become a tourist attraction.The local people are very experienced in dealing with similar things. When Lu You saw the sea collapse and form a vortex on the plane, the people on the island sensed the vibration and began to call back the tourists who were playing water sports, and directed the fishing boats to avoid or Returning to the voyage - even earlier, the veterans on board who know how to observe the waves and fish schools have already noticed the abnormality themselves.

Tourists are only a little panicked when the situation is unclear at the beginning. Once it is confirmed that they will not endanger themselves, the initial panic is replaced by a sense of novelty-not everyone who comes to the beach can experience such an eruption of a submarine volcano. things.The beach was crowded with tourists watching the excitement, screaming excitedly when the slightly warm sea water washed over their feet; in stark contrast to the joy and noise of this group of tourists were the dark-skinned locals, most of whom Their faces were dull, and a few showed worried expressions.

"The corals in this sea are going to die." Qi Zhengyun and Lu You said suddenly when they squeezed through the crowd together.There was no regret or sadness in his tone, just a little heavy emotion.Lu You was still immersed in the emotions of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and his feet were a little fluttering. He didn't realize that from the time of the return journey until now, he and Qi Zhengyun have not let go of the hand that was holding together.Hearing Qi Zhengyun's words, the scene he saw on the bottom of the sea when he went snorkeling the next day suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Schools of small and colorful fish shuttled between corals with soft sea anemones on the surface... Then, a heat wave swept over This scene turned it into a dead desolation.

Lu You's heart sank, and at the same time as a little regret surfaced, the weight of his body seemed to come back suddenly, and the feeling of the soft sand sinking under his feet became real when he stepped on his feet; the sound that reached his ears It is no longer blurred like it is separated by a layer of barriers.He seemed to be dragged back to reality from an emotionally isolated space. When he came back to his senses, he finally realized that he and Qi Zhengyun still had their fingers interlocked and their palms pressed together.

There was a rumble in his ear, and he felt that at this moment, all the people on the surrounding beach turned their faces towards them and cast strange glances; directed malice.Lu You's subconscious reaction was like pulling his hand back. With just a slight movement, Qi Zhengyun relaxed his control, as if he didn't care about his evasive behavior at all, and didn't want to embarrass him; This intimate intimacy actually made him hesitate again.

They continued to hold hands like this and walked forward for a while. Lu You felt the temperature that wrapped his palm and gave him an infinite sense of security when he was not sure he was out of danger on the plane. Finally, he gritted his teeth and clenched again. Qi Zhengyun's hand.He tried to hypnotize that everyone around him was an anemone, just like when he was relieving tension in front of the crowd below the podium during a school speech... Once he decided to ignore others, it didn't take long for Lu You to feel calmer. Being hooked up with Qi Zhengyun, from this moment on, I regained a bit of the relaxed and happy feeling that should be on vacation.

Qi Zhengyun played a trick to retreat and advance, holding Lu You's hand all the way to the end of the beach, and they separated naturally when they were about to go up the steps.Everyone ran outside, which made the museum, which was still a bit crowded, deserted, and just went in to relax.Qi Zhengyun bought two coconut milk and nut crushed ice creams at the entrance of the museum. He and Lu You finished eating the ice creams while looking at the murals, sculptures and venue descriptions on the outer wall of the museum. Buy tickets at the empty entrance.

Half of the museum was originally an aquarium. There were regular aquarium performances such as dolphins jumping hoops and seals heading the ball. The little dolphins were all caught from the wild and kept in a shallow pool. The training process was rough and the performances were hard. If they live less than one-third of their normal lifespan, they will die covered in bruises.The aquarium, which had a mediocre income, was closed after several protests from animal rights activists, and now only immobile models and specimens are on display in the museum.In the expanded exhibition hall, a complete skeleton of a juvenile baleen whale is hung with steel wires, as if swimming in sea water in the air.

Lu You can read the dictionary with gusto in the bookstore. Of course, he doesn't think these exhibitions are boring because he can't see any living things.Most of the exhibits are allowed to be photographed. He took photos along the way, looking at the specimens soaked in preservatives or sealed with glass with great interest, and he didn't go halfway until it was time for lunch.At the exit, they stamped the blue seal on the back of their hands, and Lu You also bought a small pendant that was said to be made of whale bones—it wasn’t actually, but it was very cute, and Lu You liked it. Qi Zhengyun would not pour cold water on him by telling the truth about such dispensable things.

Lu You hung the ornament on the backpack, and went out with Qi Zhengyun to find a place to eat.On the road, I saw someone selling grilled fish. The small silver fish were put on a bamboo stick and grilled until they were browned. The aroma was tangy, but after Qi Zhengyun hinted towards the beach and understood the source of these small fish, Lu You lost his appetite. ...

They walked all the way to a remote location away from the pier and attractions, and finally found a small restaurant that was not crowded with tourists.There is no wall in front of the restaurant, and it is open to a sandy beach that is not popular with tourists because of its rough sand, and the sea that has begun to return to calm after a morning.This restaurant allows guests to pick their own fish. Qi Zhengyun took over the task and went to the water tank. Lu You sat down next to a wooden table against the wall to take a seat, took out a power bank from his bag to charge his phone, Flip through the photos I took before in the photo album.He dragged forward one by one until the museum photos were finished, and the previous one was the sea covered with seaweed, as if eroded by rust.

This photo was taken by Lu You when the seaplane flew over the water for the first time. Afterwards, he paid attention to the spectacular seawater boiling, the bright red color flooding and spreading, as well as the eddies and steam rising on the water surface. I didn't get a picture of the panic, but now I think about it, I feel a little regretful.Lu You zoomed in on the photo on the screen and stared at the seaweed branches intertwined in the blurred water: probably there was a crack in the rock formation before the seabed collapsed, and something leaked out of it, which made the seaweed grow wildly and become this weird Disgusting look?

Lu You didn't guess anything beyond common sense, and only thought of common reasons such as overnutrition and temperature changes.A figure was seated opposite him. Lu You thought it was Qi Zhengyun who had returned, but when he looked up, he saw the driver whose name was pronounced "Puza".The young man's already familiar face smiled calmly at Lu You. This smile did not have the silly cheerful feeling before, which made him look strange.

Lu You was stunned for a while, and wanted to tell him that Qi Zhengyun would come back to sit there soon, but Puza seemed to have poor English... He didn't think of how to express it, so Puza spoke. "It was really thrilling before. The plane almost fell into the sea." He said with a weird accent and incorrect grammar, but generally fluent English, "How dare you sit on the plane when you go back?" Is it an airplane?"

Seeing Lu You looking at him in surprise, Puza shook his head in embarrassment, "I learned English for a few months before, but I forgot it after I didn't practice it." He couldn't control his tongue when he spoke English. It was a bit vague, Lu You thought it would be good to learn it in a few months, and turned back to him, "Then do you still dare to fly a plane in the future?"

Puza laughed loudly and scratched the short hair around his ears with his fingertips. Lu You noticed that Puza had been looking at him, and when he looked down, he found that what he was looking at was the conch amulet hanging around his neck.The spots on the conch shell have now returned to the original gray color, making Lu You even more suspicious that what he saw on the plane at that time was due to the light.He thought for a while, and picked up the conch from his chest under Puza's gaze. "This... shell." He couldn't remember the English for conch for a while, so he had to substitute this, "Will the color of its spots change?"

Puza nodded with a determined expression of "Of course". "The amulet can remind and block danger. People here believe so." He said, "Maybe this time it is because of its protection that the plane can return safely... However, it is wrong for you to tie the rope like that, soon It will wear off, and I will re-tie it for you."

He spread his palm upwards, Lu You did not refuse the offer, adjusted the rope and took the shell off to him.Puza neatly dismantled the braided rope, and then re-knotted it in a seemingly complicated way.The back of his hand turned around, blocking Lu You's sight, a small milky white light ball rose from under the skin of his palm, melted into the shell without hindrance and disappeared.

"Okay." Puza handed the snail shell back to Lu You, watched him put it back on, and said seemingly unintentionally, "I just don't know if that kind of seaweed still exists in other enemies."

Lu You doesn't know what the disgusting-looking seaweed has to worry about, but lovers will probably feel sorry for the fact that the rare mutant species died in the boiling sea water.I don't know if Qi Zhengyun wants to watch it again... "We will stay here for a few more days." He said to Puza, "If you find it elsewhere, you can take us there again."

Puza nodded happily. "Maybe there will be another volcanic eruption." He joked, "The second time you won't panic, it must be interesting." After making such a dangerous statement, he turned his head to look outside the restaurant After a glance, he stood up from the table, "Then I'm leaving. Please take my plane when you leave. Otherwise, I will be scolded to death by my uncle..."

Lu You waved goodbye to Puza and watched him walk out of the restaurant.Then he realized that the figure of Qi Zhengyun next to the water tank had disappeared at some point.

Puza came out of the restaurant and paused when he stepped into the sunlight.The puzzled expression on the young man's face disappeared for a moment. He looked around and saw Qi Zhengyun walking towards him.The expression on Qi Zhengyun's face was as usual, he didn't notice the chill hidden deep in the man's eyes with a flat face, and raised his hand to greet him with a smile: [I just said why you weren't by his side...]

Halfway through his speech, he stopped abruptly when Qi Zhengyun's hand rested on his shoulder.The young man's body froze, and there was a muffled sound from his throat. The fingers on his shoulders were not tightened too hard, but an invisible thing was cutting into the flesh and blood like a blade.The skin and muscles on his face squirmed, as if another face was struggling to emerge from beneath.

Puza opened his mouth, and a voice sounded hoarsely, not through the vibration of the vocal cords, but directly from the throat. "Let go...it's none of his business..." the voice that seemed to be rubbing against sand and stones said painfully, "that thing must be destroyed...I don't want him to die...you have such power——!"

Qi Zhengyun folded his fingers expressionlessly, and the young man's shoulder bones clicked.That face showed a distorted expression of shock and anger, which was superimposed on Puza's original smiling face, making it even more eerie and terrifying. "I've paid for it! I hear you want that talisman!" he shouted as hard as he could, but it was as hard as a throat leaking. "I've added something better! Don't you— "

"Come to me directly if you have something to say." Qi Zhengyun said calmly, "Don't make such small moves." He squeezed Puza's shoulder and pushed it back gently, and at the same time let go of his hand. Pull away quickly before the failure, so as not to expose his true state of being strong at the moment.

That face didn't say a word, it sank in an instant, dived into the depths of flesh and blood, and disappeared.At the same time, the trace of the monster's aura that leaked out just now with its emergence also disappeared again, returning to a hidden state that Qi Zhengyun could not detect - just like when he first saw the young driver.

Puza staggered for a moment, and managed to stabilize his body in time without falling. The smile on his face turned into confusion, and he looked up at Qi Zhengyun blankly.

Qi Zhengyun looked at Puza, and suddenly asked, "Do you have any brothers?" 】

[There was one before. ] Puza replied subconsciously.He forgot the feeling that something was wrong just now, his usual cheerful and smiling expression dimmed, 【It's my uncle's son...】

Qi Zhengyun didn't ask him about the specific situation of the tragedy implied by the word "before", but just nodded and walked away around Puza.Lu You couldn't wait for anyone to come back from his seat, so he couldn't help but walked outside the restaurant to look for someone. When he looked around, he saw Qi Zhengyun approaching, and then he showed a relaxed expression.Qi Zhengyun walked up to Lu You, and touched the top of his hair. He didn't look back at the young man with his head lowered behind him, who seemed to be lost in thought, and nonchalantly pushed Lu You's shoulder and went back to the restaurant.
