Chapter 516 A master of arts is bold

Just as they were wondering where to start looking, a head suddenly emerged from the wave on the left, called out to Gao Dongxu, and was then pushed back underwater by another wave.

Gao Dongxu saw that it was Wu Xie. While A Ning stared wide-eyed in shock, seemingly forgetting the danger, he took out another lifebuoy and swung it around forcefully.

Wu Xie saw the lifebuoy being thrown to him and immediately rushed over to hug it. He coughed from the seawater and couldn't speak. While holding the lifebuoy, he gasped for air and gestured to Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu looked in the direction Wu Xie pointed and saw a small dot floating up and down far away from them, but he didn't know what it was.

Ah Ning finally spoke, shouting, "That...that's Wu Yong, my subordinate! Go save him!"

Just as Gao Dongxu was about to swim over to rescue the person, a huge wave suddenly swept over them, pushing them all into the sea. When they resurfaced, the small dot had disappeared.

Ah Ning searched anxiously, but the little dot never reappeared. She didn't know if it had been swept away to a more distant place or sunk into the water.

As expected, Ah Ning really knows how to manage her subordinates.

"Stop looking, she's gone—" Gao Dongxu shouted to A Ning.

Frustrated and annoyed, A Ning slapped the seawater hard, put on a life ring, and quickly swam towards Wu Xie after Gao Dongxu.

The situation is critical, and there is no time to worry about others. We are currently in the ocean affected by a tropical storm. Although there is no immediate danger, the waves are too big. Given A Ning and Wu Xie's physical strength, it is unknown how long they can hold out.

However, Gao Dongxu wasn't worried about whether the ship would return. Fugui, Erpang, and Fusheng were all on the ship, and the captain wouldn't dare not come back to find them.

The three swam tirelessly toward the fishing boat, but there was no way around it. Wave after wave crashed against them, creating many rapid whirlpools. Various forces converged and influenced each other underwater, forming a large number of unpredictable currents.

Although there were no landmarks, they could sense the movement underwater. They were being forcibly pushed in one direction by a force, gradually moving away from the fishing boat's course.

If they drift in the water like this, they will only be carried further and further away by the ocean currents, and by the time the ship comes back to find them, they may have already been swept away.

However, swimming in the waves was extremely exhausting. Even Gao Dongxu didn't know how long he had been swimming. Wu Xie felt his hands gradually losing sensation, and his vision began to blur. He was starting to despair. If this continued, neither A Ning nor Wu Xie could hold on for much longer.

Look over there—

Just when they were at their wits' end, Aning suddenly stopped, pointed into the distance, and shouted.

Following her finger, Gao Dongxu saw a huge, blurry black shadow approaching them from the towering waves. It was moving very fast. Gao Dongxu squinted and took a closer look, and was stunned.

Ghost ship!

How interesting! Is this fate's arrangement?
Gao Dongxu chuckled. He wasn't afraid of any ghost ship. He shouted for Wu Xie and A Ning to follow him, and they began to swim towards the ghost ship.

The black shadow seemed to traverse space, and before Gao Dongxu could swim a few strokes, it was instantly in front of them. It was a fishing boat that looked very similar to the one they were on, painted dark green, with no signal lights or cabin lights on the bow, and the whole boat was pitch black.

To be honest, the fact that this ghost ship arrived in front of them in an instant is quite interesting.

“Something’s wrong with this ship—” Ah Ning, her pretty face pale, shouted at Gao Dongxu.

"We can't worry about that now, let's get on the ship first—" Gao Dongxu quickly swam towards the ghost ship. However, something strange happened again. Just as Gao Dongxu was about to reach it, the ship suddenly glided past without stopping and drifted behind the three of them.

Damn it——

It's really become sentient?!

Gao Dongxu took out the Flying Tiger Claw Hook from his spatial storage and swung it forcefully toward the ghost ship.

"Click——"

With the grappling hook stuck to the ship's side, Gao Dongxu swung the remaining rope toward A Ning and Wu Xie.

The three of them gripped the ropes and quickly approached the ghost ship. Gao Dongxu pulled himself up onto the ghost ship quickly using the ropes, and then pulled A Ning and Wu Xie onto the ship as well.

After boarding the ship, Wu Xie and A Ning were completely exhausted and fell heavily onto the deck. The deck beneath them could hardly bear the weight and immediately made a piercing creaking sound.

Gao Dongxu hurriedly stepped forward to help A Ning up. At this moment, both A Ning and Wu Xie were extremely pale, whether from being soaked in seawater or from being frightened, it was hard to tell. They were both breathing heavily.

"I'm fine, there's something strange about this ship..." A-Ning was held in Gao Dongxu's arms, her face serious as she looked at the dark cabin.

"Could this be a ghost ship...?" At this moment, Wu Xie also got up, walked to Gao Dongxu's side with some fear, swallowed hard, and said in a trembling voice.

"Heh, a ghost ship? A ghost ship is great, I'm least afraid of these weird things—" Gao Dongxu sneered. "Slap—" At this moment, Wu Xie slapped his forehead in frustration, his eyes shining as he looked at Gao Dongxu and laughed, "Damn it, look at my pig brain, with Young Master Gao here, all sorts of demons and monsters would have to kneel down and call you 'Master'..."

Aning, who had initially felt a chill and a bit uneasy, was taken aback by Wu Xie's words. Then, seeing the cold smile on Gao Dongxu's face and noticing that Wu Xie seemed to have found a support and was no longer afraid, she frowned slightly. Thinking of the lifebuoy that had appeared out of thin air in Gao Dongxu's hand, her beautiful eyes widened again, sparkling with a strange light, as she stared intently at Gao Dongxu.

She felt that Gao Dongxu was becoming more and more mysterious!

“There’s a lantern over there—” Wu Xie said, pointing to a lantern hanging outside the cabin.

The three men stepped forward and turned on the lamp. Gao Dongxu, holding the lantern, said to the other two, "Go and take a look inside the cabin. Follow behind me. No matter what you see or hear, don't shout. Understand?"

Ah Ning's beautiful eyes sparkled as she watched Gao Dongxu nod, and Wu Xie quickly nodded in agreement.

boom--

Gao Dongxu gathered his inner energy and kicked open the closed cabin door, sending it flying.

Ah Ning felt a chill run down her spine. If that kick had landed on someone, it might have killed them instantly.

Wu Xie was once again shocked by Gao Dongxu's fighting prowess.

Stepping into the cabin, everything illuminated by the lanterns was damp.

The structure of this boat was very similar to the fishing boat they were on. It was an old fishing boat produced in the 1970s or 1980s, with a tin hull and a large cabin. The cargo hold was located right next to the cabin and was also pitch black. Apart from the creaking sound of the deck rubbing against each other, there was no other sound.

The three entered the cargo hold and saw that it was piled with many things. Wu Xie saw a wall-mounted stove and quickly lit it to warm himself.

At this point, no longer suspicious, Ah Ning tore off the tarpaulin covering the cargo and discovered that it was all diving equipment, mostly oxygen cylinders, with some numbers on them.

Ah Ning picked one up, examined it closely, and suddenly screamed, startling Wu Xie. He asked her what was wrong, and her pupils flashed with terror as she looked at Gao Dongxu and trembled as she said, "This ship is K5883!"

"Is there a problem?" Wu Xie stepped forward and asked with a frown.

"This is the ship number of the boat your third uncle hired. It's our company's rule that all the equipment used for research must have the same serial number as the ship number," Ah Ning said in a trembling voice, goosebumps rising on her delicate body wrapped in a tight-fitting waterproof diving suit.

"Third Uncle?! That missing ship?!" Wu Xie's expression changed, a chill ran down his spine, and he said, trembling slightly, "Where are the people on board..."

The wind outside grew stronger, and large waves crashed against the ship's side from time to time, making the whole ship sound as if it was about to be torn apart.

"Alright, stop being so paranoid. Why worry about so much? Let's find something to warm up. Aning, see if you have a new wetsuit and change into it. Your wetsuit is leaking." Gao Dongxu interrupted the two who were staring at each other in silence, which was making the atmosphere even more awkward as they started to overthink.

"Ah—okay." After Gao Dongxu said that, A Ning immediately picked up the lantern and started rummaging through the cargo boxes.

Wu Xie looked at Gao Dongxu and said with a wry smile, "Young Master Gao, it's fortunate that you're here, otherwise, my life would be over."

"Alright, we're all in the same boat, stop talking nonsense. Go and see if there's anything to eat or drink." Gao Dongxu unzipped his diving suit, took it off, and walked to the stove to warm himself up, wearing only a pair of shorts.

"Tsk tsk, Gao Shao, your physique is amazing! You're just like those Spartan warriors in the movies." Wu Xie praised Gao Dongxu's tall, strong, and perfect body with envy in his eyes.

At this moment, Ah Ning, who had found the liquor, also saw Gao Dongxu's sexy, perfect, and powerful physique illuminated by the firelight. Her pretty face flushed slightly as this bear-like body repeatedly crushed her.

"Have some wine to warm up—" Ah Ning, not daring to think any further, cursed herself inwardly, her face flushed, and tossed the liquor to Gao Dongxu and Wu Xie.

While Gao Dongxu and Wu Xie were drinking from the bottle, A Ning also found her diving suit, took a lantern, and went behind a pile of goods to change.

"Cough cough..." Wu Xie glanced at A Ning's graceful figure illuminated by the lantern, and quickly coughed and turned away. He didn't want to offend Gao Dongxu by looking at A Ning a few more times. Although he had a great liking for A Ning, he gave up on her after learning about her ambiguous relationship with Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu smiled and glanced at the sensible Wu Xie, while he drank his liquor and admired A Ning's graceful figure. However, halfway through changing his clothes, A Ning suddenly cried out and poked her head out, calling out, "Come here quickly."

Gao Dongxu immediately strode forward, frowning as he asked, "What's wrong?"

With a pale face, Ah Ning saw Gao Dongxu coming over. Completely unaware that he had seen her naked from the waist down, she trembled as she wrapped her conscience in her wetsuit, zipped it up, and walked out in a trembling voice, saying, "There seems to be something in the pile of goods."

Gao Dongxu walked over, picked up a lantern, and shone it on the object. Sure enough, there was a dark mass hiding in the shadows between the cargo box and the ship's wall. It would have been difficult to spot without the lantern. The thing was curled up in a ball, and at first glance, it looked like a human head. No wonder A Ning was startled.

Gao Dongxu frowned and reached out to touch it, only to find that it was a backpack, a very ordinary one, and he didn't know why someone had hidden it here.

When Ah Ning saw that Gao Dongxu was carrying a backpack, she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her conscience, and said with lingering fear, "That scared me to death! I thought it was some kind of ghost..."
