NOVEL NEXT Chapter 424 It all depends on the waves!
On the endless sea.
Su Mo stood on the bow of a wooden boat that was only a few meters long. He was holding several hemp ropes that were twisted together and pulling them loosely.
On both sides of the ship, there were more than a dozen large bubbles floating on the water following the ship's hull. These were of course the bubbles produced by Su Mo using the bubble generator, which contained dozens of boxes of gold, silver and copper coins.
If you look at it from his perspective, you can see that the other end of the rope is tied to the dorsal fin of a whale. As the whale rises and dives, Su Mo tightens the hemp rope accordingly. In this way, the whale becomes a After turning on the engine, Su Mo became the rudder, controlling the wooden boat to speed on the water at a speed of nearly 20 kilometers per hour.
However, because the boat is small and fast, the people sitting on it are not very comfortable. It is almost like surfing.
This frightened Amamiya Aoi, who was already very afraid of water. At this time, she was clinging to the edge of the boat, so nervous that she didn't dare to move.
Of course Aphrodite wasn't much better, she kept shouting: "Master, slow down, slow down!"
Only KOKIA seemed normal. At this time, he couldn't help but ask loudly: "Is this what you call all relying on the waves?"
"What are you talking about? I can't hear you, Mrs. Feng!"
Su Mo replied without turning his head.
KOKIA was stunned and muttered angrily: "I said you are so handsome!"
Her voice was very soft this time, but Su Mo immediately replied: "Haha, thank you for the compliment, I feel the same way!"
"..."
KOKIA was speechless about his selective hearing, laughing and scolding: "You are such a bad guy!"
Su Mo just smiled and said nothing.
So KOKIA lost interest in chatting, and just looked back at Yamatai, which gradually turned into a small black dot, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's a little bad, but this is such an unforgettable journey!
......
After driving on the sea for most of the day, night was about to fall.
Su Mo was about to let the whale go to eat something to replenish its energy, when he suddenly saw a dazzling white light in the distance, which seemed to be a ship.
"Why is there a boat? Has it already arrived offshore?"
He was a little surprised, so he immediately controlled the bubbles to sink into the water, and then pulled the hemp rope to slow down the whale in front of him.
After a while, the ship on the opposite side also spotted them and pulled the whistle.
Amidst the roaring of the flutes, the two ships finally slowly approached. Su Mo looked up and immediately saw a Westerner's head sticking out from the side of the ship.
The man looked at the people on the wooden boat for a while, his eyes full of shock. He originally thought they were survivors of a shipwreck.
But how can any shipwreck survivor be as comfortable as they are?
After a long while, he took out a photo from his pocket, and it looked like Su Mo and the others.
After checking it, he took out a loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Is this Mr. Su Mo?"
Seeing that the other party recognized him, Su Mo was a little surprised and immediately replied: "It's me!"
"Great, we are from the AMK Marine Foundation. Mr. Steve is on the ship. I will put the ladder down for you right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ladder was lowered from above the deck.
Although Su Mo was a little surprised that Steve was on the boat, he still decided to go up and have a look, so he said to the women behind him: "Let's go up and have a look."
After saying that, he was the first to climb up the ladder.
After a while, the four people arrived on the deck.
There was no time to speak, only the sound of footsteps was heard, but Amamiya Jinfu came over.
Although he was a little weak at this time and his body was covered with bandages, his mental state was still good, and it seemed that his injuries were almost healed.
"It seems those islanders have gone home." Su Mo said to himself, then looked at the crew member next to him and asked, "Where's Steve?"
The crew member smiled bitterly: "Please come with me."
Su Mo nodded, and then asked Aoi Amamiya to follow the crew into the cabin.
When he reached the depths of the cabin, he realized that this old guy Steve had actually moved the ICU ward to the ship. He was really rich.
After negotiating with the doctor in charge for a while, the door of the ward slowly opened, and Su Mo and Aoi Amamiya walked into the ward under the guidance of the nurse.
But when he saw Steve lying on the hospital bed, Su Mo was almost shocked.
Although Steve had to rely on a wheelchair to walk and looked sick all day long, his face was not ugly and his hair was not completely white.
But now, not only does he have snow-white hair, but his face has also turned as green as a dead person. His body is also covered with tubes for various instruments, and he seems to be about to burp at any time.
"I never thought he would be tortured like this by that black stone!"
Su Mo became a little scared.
After the nurse walked to Steve's bedside, lowered her head and said a word. He then opened his bloodshot eyes and said weakly: "You all go out and ask Mr. Su Mo to come closer."
After the doctors and nurses left, Su Mo sat beside his bed.
Steve then raised his hand tremblingly and said with some difficulty: "How is it?"
Su Mo knew what he was going to ask, so he smiled bitterly and recounted what he had experienced on Yamatai, but he omitted the fact that Queen Himihu was still alive and the treasure was found.
He originally thought that Steve would be very excited, but he didn't expect that the other party would just be stunned and say very calmly: "Is there no other way?"
Su Mo didn't answer, but turned to look at Amamiya Aoi.
Amamiya Aoi shook her head firmly: "No, at most it can restore you to your previous appearance."
Steve closed his eyes in pain: "Are there any conditions?"
"Yes." Su Mo said; "She needs that black stone."
Steve sighed: "Okay, when we get to Japan, I will have someone give you the stone and the reward."
After saying that, he waved his hand, indicating that the two of them could leave.
Su Mo stood up and walked towards the door with Amamiya Aoi, but before going out, Amamiya Aoi turned around and advised: "No one can fight against time, you should enjoy life more."
Steve didn't answer, just stared at the ceiling blankly.
After leaving the ward, Su Mo and Amamiya Aoi walked side by side along the passage of the cabin. When they came to a deserted place, Su Mo couldn't help but ask, "Is he not going to live long?"
Amamiya Aoi nodded: "Originally, he could live for half a year."
Su Mo frowned: "What now?"
Amamiya Aoi sighed: "But now I see his face, he may die in less than a month at most."
Su Mo was startled: "How could this happen?"
"I don't know either." Amamiya Aoi pursed her lips; "But I think maybe it's because of our arrival!"
A month?
Su Mo's heart suddenly pounded, and he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
