After the two signed the contract, Angkor said with a smile: "Shall we go to the pier now? Others are already waiting at the pier."

Lu Ao nodded.

The wharf they are going to today is not Longxiang Wharf, but Yandong Wharf.

This is the largest dock in the county, just outside the county. This is Lu Ao’s first time going there.

Angkor drove the car himself. When the two arrived at the dock, Lu Ao saw a large fishing boat at a glance.

This ship is very big. The speedboat that Lu Ao and the others usually ride in is next to the ship and looks like a small leaf.

The boat stopped a hundred meters away from the pier, and Lu Ao and the others had to take a speedboat to get to the boat.

Lu Ao sat on the speedboat and looked at the fishing boat.

That fishing boat was not a scientific research vessel, but a passenger ship.

The fishing boat's hull is specially spray-painted with the boat's number, which starts with a passenger code - Xiwan Passenger No. 00265.

Xiwan City is a seaside city in northern China.

Lu Ao was more cautious.

Angkor took Lu Ao on board the ship. There were quite a few people coming and going in their attire. Judging by their attire, there were all kinds of people - shipwrights, scientific expedition personnel, temporary recruits like him, etc.

When everyone sees Angkor, most people will say hello warmly.

Lu Ao was thoughtful. It seemed that this Angkor was either very popular or had a high status.

Angkor took Lu Ao to meet Xiang Xingchang, the leader of their diving team.

The captain had dark skin, a strong build, and a bit of a beer belly. Seeing that Lu Ao was handsome and had particularly fair skin, he looked back and forth at Lu Ao with distrust.

Lu Ao pretended not to see it and said nothing.

The two briefly shook hands and exchanged a few polite words, before Angkor took Lu Ao to the cabin below to rest.

Their ship was big enough, and Lu Ao was assigned a single cabin. The room was about ten square meters, and it also had a toilet. The conditions seemed good.

Lu Ao put away his things and went to the dining floor to have breakfast.

It's already past ten in the morning, the ship has just sailed, and the chef hasn't had time to cook yet.

Lu Ao used a pack of good cigarettes to bribe a chef to make him a big pot of egg noodles.

There is no one on the ship who does not smoke, and it is not enough to survive such a boring and boring life at sea without smoking.

Lu Ao was eating in the restaurant. The chef was bored and talked to him while smoking, "Are you a scientific examiner?"

"no."

"So you're a maintenance person?"

"no."

"Clerk?"

"No, I'm diving." Lu Ao finished half a bowl of noodles in one go and asked, "Are you starting from Xiwan City?"

"Yes, I have been drifting at sea for more than ten days. I just docked in the port the day before yesterday and I went to sea again today." The chef looked at him and said, "Are you really a diver? Why is your skin so white?"

"Innate." Lu Ao said: "What will our ship's scientific research examine?"

"I don't know." The chef complained, "A few people from country R are secretive to people from country u, and they won't tell us."

"How long did it take you to come all the way from Xiwan for scientific research? Ten days?"

"More or less. In fact, we didn't do much inspection. We only recruited people to board the ship after we arrived at your place. I heard that we were going to inspect the area around here."

Lu Ao wondered, "What are you investigating around here?"

"We are such rough guys, even if we have heard of it, we can't tell you how ugly you are." The chef didn't know how long he hadn't spoken to a stranger. He took a long puff of cigarette and said everything he knew, "I heard what kind of fish we were going to catch."

, I haven’t heard the name of that fish either.”

Lu Ao recalled it, but he really didn't recall any special fish in the Qianming Sea.
