"Steven, get out of the way! This is a stingray, don't offend it, especially away from the tail. The steak-knife-like stinger on its tail is very sharp and extremely deadly! Be careful!"
Matisse quickly reminded him, and at the same time he quickly moved to the side to let the window open.
Without his reminder, Ye Tian also recognized the guy who was swimming towards the window.
This is a stingray, about two meters wide and four or five meters long. It glides from the darkness in the cockpit, like a black cloud floating here, with a gloomy atmosphere!
Especially its human-like face with a weird smile looks creepy, and the back of the spine is air-cooled!
Ye Tian's reaction was quick, and the moment he recognized this guy, he immediately flashed to the side without delay for a second!
Not only does this thing look scary, it is indeed a famous killer in the ocean, a very dangerous animal.
There is a stinger about twenty centimeters long at the end of the stingray's tail, with serrated edges, very sharp!
As a close relative of sharks, stingray stingers and shark scales are composed of the same material. When threatened, the jagged stingers of stingrays will harden, just like a sharp steak knife!
Its stinger is not only sharp and abnormal, but also releases a protein-based toxin, which is extremely deadly!
Although this guy usually does not attack humans, he is a very deadly marine killer if he feels threatened. Killings by stingray have been reported from time to time in recent years, and it is not uncommon!
The most famous case occurred in 2006, when the famous "crocodile hunter" Steve Irwin was stabbed in the heart by a stingray and died of poison! This undoubtedly enhances the reputation of stingrays for danger.
In the ranking of the top ten most dangerous animals in the seabed announced by relevant agencies, the stingray ranks eighth, even above the famous ocean killers such as the great white shark and the bull shark!
So at the moment when they saw this thing, Ye Tian and Matisse changed their colors.
If it is not a last resort, no one wants to face this extremely dangerous ocean killer, and the two of them are no exception!
They dodged in a timely manner, quickly moved away from the window, and withdrew one or two meters away.
Immediately afterwards, the stingray with a strange smile flew out of the huge window of the cockpit, flapped its wings lightly, and glided forward, ignoring the two black guys near the window.
Ye Tian and the others have been staring at the movements of this stingray, paying particular attention to the sharp and deadly sting, and they dare not blink their eyes!
It wasn't until the stingray flew into the distance and completely disappeared from their field of vision that the two of them took a breath and relaxed.
"This thing is so scary! You can have nightmares when you look at it, it's really a ghost in the sea!"
Ye Tian said with emotion, and returned to the window position.
"Not only does the stingray look scary, but it is also a veritable killer in the sea, an assassin who runs around with stings!"
Matisse also sighed with emotion and swam back.
After returning to the window, they again used the searchlight on the front of the submersible thruster to scan the situation in the cockpit.
This time it's fine, no ocean killer who frightened them appeared again, and nothing else was found in the cockpit, except for sea water!
It seemed that this was a lair that belonged exclusively to the stingray just now, and all other sea creatures were denied entry.
This situation couldn't be more normal. When an extremely dangerous stingray occupies here, other marine creatures will probably retreat and leave here far to avoid accidents!
Even if the fierce and unparalleled great white shark came here, it is estimated that they would not be willing to break into the territory of this close relative, otherwise it is not necessarily the one who will die by then!
After investigating the situation in the cockpit, Matisse immediately said:
"Steven, let's unload the submersible thruster. The space inside is limited and there are many obstacles. It is not convenient to move in with the submersible thruster, but it is a cumbersome!
Let's hang the submersible propeller outside and swim in, so that it is more comfortable. If we encounter other creatures, we can also deal with it flexibly. When we come out from the inside, we can just take up the propeller.
One point must be reminded in advance. Although this cargo ship is not small, we do not understand the internal situation. There are many cabins inside, so it is not suitable to dive too deep, otherwise we may get lost in it!"
"Understood, Matisse, I know what to do, let's go in!"
Ye Tian nodded in response, very confident.
Although there are many cabins in the cargo ship, with the help of the perspective ability, he does not need to explore the cabins one by one, just walk to the door of the cabin to see through.
For him, as long as it is within 25 meters, there is no secret, even if there are layers of metal decks and bulkheads!
Even if he goes deep into the cargo ship, he can find a suitable escape route as fast as he can, and quickly get out of it, it is impossible to be trapped in the cabin!
Next, he immediately opened the quick-release buckle attached to the submersible thruster on his belt and hung it on the railing outside the cockpit. It was very safe!
Unless the creatures in the sea can unfasten the quick-release buckle, it is impossible to lose the submersible thruster here!
Matisse next to him is also doing the same action, quickly unloading the submersible thruster, ready to enter the cargo ship.
After that, Ye Tian stretched out his hand to open the flashlights tied to his left and right forearms, turned his head and said with a chuckle:
"Let's go, Matisse, let's go and see what else is in this cargo ship? Can we find any amazing treasures!"
After speaking, he used his right hand to climb the edge of the window, and a little harder, the whole person immediately rushed into the cockpit, as agile as a swimming fish, the movements were very stretched and relaxed!
Matisse, who was next to him, alternated his legs and swam into the cockpit of the cargo ship using the huge fins on his feet.
Entering here, the light suddenly became much darker, and the visibility dropped sharply to less than ten meters!
But under the illumination of a few strong torches, both Ye Tian and Matisse's vision was very clear, without any hindrance.
They all tied the underwater flashlight to their arms, so that wherever the arm points, the strong light projected by the flashlight will point, and the line of sight will move accordingly!
This not only saves trouble, but also frees up their hands, greatly facilitating their actions, and it feels like a finger!
After entering the cockpit, they swam straight to the vicinity of the bridge, grabbed the steering wheel to stabilize their figure, and then illuminated the surrounding with a flashlight to observe the situation here.
Under the strong light of the flashlight, they quickly got a general understanding of the cockpit!
The cockpit area is medium, about forty to fifty square meters, with three glass windows and one wall.
When the cargo ship sank, all the glass windows were shattered by the pressure of the sea water, and even a complete window was no longer visible!
There should be a door on each side of the wall behind. Behind the door should be a staircase leading downstairs and stern. Not far from the bridge, there is a spiral staircase leading directly to the next deck.
There was a mess in the cockpit. As long as the things were not fixed, they slid to the windows and bulkheads on the side of the sea, and more things should have fallen into the sea.
If you want to find it, it is estimated that you can still find it! Almost all at the bottom of the sea!
Here, Ye Tian and the others did not find human skeletons, but judging from the messy anomalous scene, it is impossible that no one had died here before and after the shipwreck!
The reason why those skeletons are not here is that they either fell out of the broken window without knowing where they fell, or they were swallowed whole by some beasts in the sea and became their delicacy!
Although the bridge is very messy, all the instruments and equipment are readily available, but the rust is relatively serious, and it has long become a pile of scrap iron!
After looking around, Ye Tian and the others did not find the reason for the sinking of the cargo ship, nor did they find relevant evidence. There were no bullet holes on the bridge and rear bulkhead, and there was no trace of pirate attack.
The situation in the cockpit is generally like this, lackluster, and it seems that there is not much exploration value!
Just as Ye Tian retracted his gaze and was about to release the rudder and swim forward to investigate carefully, Matisse next to him suddenly said:
"Steven, look at the bulkhead. There seem to be two safes under the iron cabinet. I don't know what's in it?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of Matisse's fingers.
Under the illumination of the light, you can clearly see that there is a row of iron cabinets in the bulkhead for holding documents or other things. The doors of the cabinets are open, which is very messy!
Under one of the iron cabinets, he can see through the half-opened cabinet door. There is something else behind the cabinet door. They are two blue-grey safes. They are not big, but they look quite thick and strong!
"Huh! Two safes!"
Ye Tian said softly, and a beam of joy flashed in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he immediately said excitedly:
"Let's go and take a look, Matisse, if those two safes can still be opened, let's open them here and check them, maybe we will find something!
If they cannot be opened and they are not fixed, we can find a way to move them out, and then use the decompression stop to bring them to the sea surface.
When we go back and end the deep dive exploration. In the yacht, we can find a way to open these two safes. Even if we don't find nothing, it is a kind of fun!"
"That's right, Steven, the process of discovering things is also a joy, even more important and interesting than the result!"
Matisse nodded excitedly, obviously very much in agreement with Ye Tian's proposal.
Then the two of them moved into action and swam straight to the bulkhead, both very excited and full of expectations!
