Sea area No. 37, this is a sea area named after the same name by both China and Japan.

Qin Zhao has never investigated why this sea area is called No. 37 sea area. In his eyes, this sea area is the same as other sea areas. The moon, when the rain is pouring and the lights are not turned on, will give people a sense of unreality and inexplicable hesitation, as if a monster will suddenly appear in the next moment in the dark night.

"What time is it now!" Wearing a thick anti-radiation suit, Liu Yeming waddled up behind Qin Zhao like a penguin, took off the helmet on his head, and opened his mouth to take a cold mouthful. Yushui: "We've almost arrived at our destination! But why haven't we found any lights ahead!"

"A quarter to twelve!" Qin Zhao also took off his helmet, and awkwardly took out the luminous watch and looked at it: "It should be coming soon, maybe it has already come, the Japanese are generally very punctual, and they can't see the lights , because of the damn weather!"

"Yeah!" Liu Yeming said, sitting cross-legged on the deck, letting the rainstorm pour over him, "Tell me, we can really avoid the other party's sonar scans by wearing this kind of anti-radiation suit!"

"Hey! I don't know, anyway, I did an experiment, and I used a life detector to detect no signs of life through the clothes!" Qin Zhao sat down next to him, looked up at the sky and squinted his eyes half-closed: "I knew It's raining so hard, I really shouldn't be wearing this stuff!"

"It doesn't matter if you wear this thing, as long as the devil ship comes here!" Liu Yeming paused: "Xiao Zhao, is your informant's information accurate or not!"

"I'm not sure, but it should be about the same!"

"I hate you for answering me with such ambiguous words!" Liu Yeming leaned on the side of the boat: "We have been floating for more than half an hour, and Francis and the others have stayed in those asbestos for so long. If those If the devils don't come, I'm afraid you, the boss, will be scolded!"

Qin Zhao smiled. Just about to speak, he shivered suddenly, and his pupils shrank.

"What's the matter?" Qin Zhao's slightly nervous movement did not escape Liu Yeming, who had specially trained his night eye.

"Nothing? I suddenly felt uneasy just now!" Qin Zhao patted his cheek in confusion: "But it's better now!"

"Hehe!" Liu Yeming smiled, "You've built such a ghost ship, and you haven't given it to the Japanese yet, so you must be possessed by evil spirits first!"

"Old Jiu, when you are with me, you fart so much!" Qin Zhao also leaned on the side of the boat, the inexplicable heart palpitation just now has been forgotten by him: "Why didn't you talk so much when you were with Xue girl! "

"Hehe!" Well, Haoyue told me that you've already done that to her, and you're still talking sarcastic here, it's too unkind! Liu Yeming despised someone in his heart, and said: "A twisted melon is not sweet. If you lose it in the east, you can harvest it in the mulberry. Maybe my true love is not far away and I am waiting anxiously? Hehe! Anyway, I am You are so handsome, maybe you will marry a princess sooner or later?"

"Well, there is such a possibility!" Qin Zhao nodded seriously: "I had this dream countless times when I was seven years old!"

"Crap!" Liu Yeming cursed, and was about to retort when Qin Zhao said slowly, "I seem to see a light over there!"

Liu Yeming looked to the left, and there was something like a will-o'-the-wisp floating in the distance.

"It's finally here!" Although he has experienced dozens of battles, but in this unfamiliar sea, facing an enemy whose equipment is several times better than his own, Liu Yeming still felt a little nervous: "There is no white tonight!" Busy!"

"Well, you go and take care of that girl, I'll notify Francis!" After Qin Zhao finished speaking, he picked up the helmet that was placed aside, and rolled along the deck to the cargo space...

"The Poseidon patrol ship has arrived in the sea area of ​​No. 37, and now I request to suspend the voyage, and carry out the detection equipment work for 15 minutes as originally planned!" Colonel Koyama Baida reported the situation here to the Okinawa sea base in plain text through the radio: "The weather in the sea area on the 37th is very bad, the north wind is around force nine, heavy rain, and visibility is very low..."

Although sea area 37 is a disputed sea area between China and Japan, Japan has always designated this sea area as its own territorial waters, but because there are no islands in this sea area for ships to dock, patrol ships usually do not stop here.

Tonight, this "Ruisui" class patrol ship, also known as "Poseidon", made a short stop at the fourteenth hundred nautical mile position because it was its maiden voyage, mainly to test the performance of the machine. Inspection machines were the mainstay, and the Poseidon was not equipped with the 130 officers and men it should have, only 75 including Colonel Koyama Baida.

This kind of ghostly weather dissatisfied all the officers and soldiers on board. Although the Japanese army was strictly disciplined, it did not mean that they could not complain under such bad weather, including their chief officer Koyama Baida.

"Ha Yi, the Poseidon will stop sailing for 15 minutes, and it will return in 15 minutes!" After receiving a clear answer, Xiaoshan Baida agreed, hung up the communicator, and then turned around and began to issue instructions to the several majors. Commands for overall detection of equipment.

At this moment, the cabin door was suddenly opened, and a captain officer stepped in a few steps and waved salute: "Report to Mr. Xiaoshan, an unknown ship was found one nautical mile ahead!"

"Oh, what did you do? You let the unidentified ship approach us for a nautical mile before you found out what the radar soldiers are eating!" Xiaoshan Baida was stunned for a moment, and then growled in a stern tone: "Get ready for battle immediately!" , Move closer to the other party, order the other party to stop sailing, and accept our inspection!"

"Report to Mr. Koyama!" The captain saluted again, and explained: "Our radar did not detect that the ship had any forward momentum. The ship was probably blown by the wind along the current!"

"There is no forward momentum!" Xiaoshan Baida frowned: "You mean, this ship is probably a broken ship!"

"It should be like this!" The captain said: "Moreover, the submarine sonar did not detect any signs of life on the opposite ship. This ship is like a... ghost ship!"

According to legend, there is such a ship in the sea. There is no living person on board, and the ship itself has no power. They just follow the natural flow of the ocean and are blown by the wind to run around on the sea. In the history of ocean navigation, the most famous There are four ghost ships: the Mary Celeste, the Carol Deering, the Bayer Amika, and the Great Goal 6.

Among them, the Mary Celeste created the most famous mystery in the history of navigation. When the ship was discovered in 1872, the cargo and valuables on board were all there, and there was enough food and drinking water, but there was no one. No, after all reasonable explanations have been ruled out, people can only fantasize that they were abducted by aliens, or attacked by a sea monster.

It is said that if anyone encounters this kind of ghost ship on the sea, it may be a sign of danger, because the ghost ship itself is a ship that has been cursed by the sea god, so when many merchant ships encounter a ghost ship, they are usually very far away. Even though Xiaoshan Baida didn't believe in these legends, he still felt chills running down his back when he encountered such a 'ghost ship' without any signs of life in such a late night with low visibility.

Nanzhao Da'eren Major Zuo, who was following Xiaoshan Baida, saw that after he heard that the other party might be a ghost ship, his face was cloudy and cloudy, and the captain did not go out to carry out his order to approach the ship, so He said in a tone of asking for instructions: "Your Majesty, why don't we just ignore it and inform the base, and focus on monitoring its movements for the time being!"

"No!" After a moment of silence, Xiao Shan Baida shook his head: "Get closer to that ship immediately!"

"Your Excellency, Chief..." When the captain wanted to explain further, he was interrupted by his superior with stern words: "Captain, we are the regular navy of Japan, are we still afraid of a ship without an owner? Order immediately All the soldiers on the ship are ready to fight, and move closer to that ship!"

"Hayi!" The captain bent down, turned and walked out.

"Mr. Nanzhao, let's go out and have a look!" Xiao Shan Baida looked at the deputy with his hands behind his back, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "I still don't believe it, what kind of ghost ship will there be in this world!"

"Hayi!" Nan Zhao and other major officers agreed in unison, and followed His Excellency out of the cabin...

"We are the Japanese Coast Guard, and we order you to stop the ship immediately for inspection!" Although neither the sonar nor the radar detected any signs of power and life on the ship, the officers and soldiers on the Poseidon still followed the rules to report to the ship. A warning was issued in both Japanese and English: "If the ship does not stop, we will shoot as a warning!"

As several kilowatts of waterproof searchlights on the patrol ship locked the target, the soldiers at the forefront of the deck fired a few bullets at the top of the opposite ship with a submachine gun.

Da da... In the heavy rain, the gunfire of the submachine gun is not so obvious, only the swaying trajectory occasionally flashes a faint blue in the dark.

After the Japanese soldiers fired warning shots, the ship on the opposite side did not respond. It still moved slowly towards the Poseidon patrol ship according to the direction of the ocean.

After shooting a few more long-range shooting points, the soldiers automatically stopped shooting, and everyone's eyes followed the searchlights to look at the opposite ship that was getting closer and closer. It was a ship full of unknown cargo, and there was no light on the ship. , there was a gloomy and strange feeling all over his body.

As it is less than 100 meters away from the front left side of the Poseidon, Xiaoshan Baida, who has rich sea experience, can conclude that this cargo ship full of unknown cargo is refitted from a 600-ton displacement landing ship eliminated by Russia in the last century. It's just a dilapidated ship's side, but there are no signs.

"Your Majesty, it seems..." Nanzhao Shao Zuo didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant: This is probably a legendary ghost ship. Let's leave it alone and let it go. The flow drifted to a bird.
