The Underwater Alliance Chapter 4

"Keep out of the sun!"

Rayan was stunned. He had followed Benjamin for three months and of course knew that Benjamin hardly spoke when he was not filming. But it was really difficult for him to understand such a strange sentence without a beginning or an end.

"Don't appear in the sun!" Benjamin changed to a more fluent sentence, looking quite nervous.

"Hey, I get it. It's just the clothes that are embarrassing. I understand! It's the sorrow of the poor!"

Rayan shrugged and walked towards the cabin in frustration. As for lunch? Forgive him for having only one meal a day.

Benjamin stared at the fewer and fewer seabirds in the distance, hesitating as if making a decision, but in the end he remained silent, turned around and walked back. He didn't know what to say, and whether anyone would believe it, which was a problem.

Seabirds lost their way and fell, fish died, elderly people suspected of having carotid sinus heart disease fell ill... This is because the magnetic field has changed, or even the earth's magnetic field is gradually disappearing, causing creatures that swim upstream and migrate with the seasons to lose their instinct to distinguish directions, and die in large numbers due to hunger and fatigue. Patients with pacemakers will also be the first to suffer misfortune...

dmn it, why did he think of that boring horror movie like Deepsea last night? It should have been the doomsday movie The Rescue that was released three or four years ago!

So, the abnormal rise in temperature now may be due to the atmosphere becoming thinner due to the weakening of the magnetic field...

Benjamin almost missed a step and rolled down the stairs.

---If this is true, everything will go extinct! No matter how advanced the technology is, it cannot prevent the horrific changes brought about by the disappearance of the atmosphere, unless you bring enough food and water and immediately hide underground several hundred meters deep!

If someone is willing to look up the information, they will find that as early as around 1900, the energy of the Earth's magnetic field began to weaken continuously.

Initially, its impact on humans was minimal. During this period, the bizarre phenomena occurred more and more year by year. Statistics showed that the strength of the Earth's magnetic field has weakened by at least 10% compared to 150 years ago. Data collected by countries with artificial satellites showed that the magnetic field that should cover the entire Earth is no longer complete, and several large holes have appeared in some places, especially at the North and South Poles.

The magnetic field is something that cannot be seen or touched, and most people do not care about it. Even if the country holds a press conference to say that something terrible is happening and the magnetic field is about to disappear, many people would probably be shocked and ask, is that serious? Will the compass become unusable?

At this time, movies are probably the best way to popularize science, but that movie does not describe the horrible consequences in detail, so for most people, if you tell them about the Resident Evil, they will be more scared and understand the seriousness of the problem better. And what is the geomagnetic field?

But there is a reason why politicians from various countries, including scientists, remain calm, because it is said that the Earth's magnetic poles flip every 250,000 years, that is, the South Pole becomes the North Pole. The Earth itself is like a huge magnet, and magnetic pole reversal is a natural phenomenon, but when it begins to flip, some drastic changes are normal. Preliminary estimates are that this process will continue slowly for more than two thousand years. What humans need to do is to adapt and protect the environment.

Until the evening of January 7, several magnetic field holes suddenly appeared in the Pacific Ocean, which were very close to each other and affected each other, causing many marine life to fall into chaos. Although according to experience, the magnetic field is changing, and within three to five days, the situation in those areas will be slightly relieved, the important thing is that all the slightly serious magnetic field disturbances so far have occurred in the ocean, so this situation that will disturb people's peace of mind has not been announced. Scientists are intensively studying the impact of this accident on the climate in 2012, and flood control and drought relief must be prepared in advance.

South China Sea.

The boundless ocean and the pitch-black night are like a devil.

On its body, the brightly lit luxury cruise ship was sailing smoothly. This was its last voyage, but no one knew it except the increasingly anxious captain and crew.

In the evening, the communication between the Goddess of Thalassa and the land was intermittent, the radio was unusable, and occasionally the sound of electricity could be heard. Several people on the ship had sudden heart attacks, and the captain was very worried. Such things often happen at sea. It may be the weather, or there may be strong magnetic fields generated by iron ore under the sea. In short, it is better to sail out of this sea area.

In fact, this is how he asked the crew to explain it to the guests.

However, when sailing past this place before, there have never been such serious problems.

The captain is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has a high salary and sufficient experience. He only needs to sail three or four times a year, and each time lasts for about a month. So he is very satisfied with this kind of life. In order to stay in this position safely, he dare not disturb those big shots who are in high spirits unless it is absolutely necessary.

Especially on this night, Boss Han, who spent a huge amount of money to charter this cruise ship, was having a wild party in the ballroom on the tenth deck.

Who is not powerful and influential if they are eligible to attend? Perhaps the celebrities are the exception, and Benjamin was able to attend because of the entertainment company. Assistants like Rayan and middle-level managers of a certain company were all turned away. In the eyes of those who claim to be the upper class, assistants are just high-level workers. They are not as practical as bodyguards in this situation!

An elegant waltz resounded throughout the hall, and the slender fingers of a famous pianist danced on the black and white keys.

The long table under the crystal chandelier was filled with a variety of seafood, cakes, dishes and fine wines.

Of course, some of these foods are taboo to each other. Although not serious, they may cause diarrhea. However, no one cares. There are very few people who really come to such parties to eat and drink. If you ignore the care and eat a lot, you will just make a fool of yourself.

There is no juice, but there is a small blues bar. A bartender uses his wrist to flexibly control the cups of various sizes to fly up and down, and quickly brings out cups of cocktails of different colors. It is the favorite of ladies. Of course, where there are ladies, there are always men with various thoughts.

Except for the big shots, everyone was politely asked to hand over their mobile phones and cameras before coming in. After all, in these circles, no one is much cleaner than anyone else.

In fact, Benjamin didn't want to come, but he absolutely couldn't swim back to the shore. Fear couldn't change anything.

---If tomorrow is the end of the world, what will you do?

Benjamin stood in the corner holding a glass of lemon tequila. His parents had him as their only son at the age of 40, and they were almost heartbroken for him. Fortunately, their family was well-off and his father's generation were all doctors. However, it was difficult for Benjamin to find a normal job in his situation, and they could not expect him to study medicine.

Benjamin doesn't even have a decent academic degree. His growing environment is different from that of ordinary children. He has never been to school and refuses to enter the examination room. Four years ago, his parents died in a car accident. For Benjamin, it was like the last door open to him in this world was closed.

He hopes to have friends and love, but he can't get too close to people, because if he really cares about someone, he will repeatedly consider whether his every word and every action is appropriate, and be careful about his own behavior, but often ends up making things worse. The most important thing is that it is difficult for him to judge the emotional changes from the other person's expression. Acting is exaggeration on a small scale, and there are script prompts, but in reality, if someone says "hello" to him with a fake smile, he will really only understand it as a special greeting.

Apart from your parents, no one will truly and unconditionally give for you. This is a common sense, and Benjamin understands it.

So he continued to live alone, because he didn't know how to enter this world. Gradually, he had no hopes, and would even subconsciously avoid others when they showed excessive enthusiasm towards him. Loneliness was the only way he could protect himself, and silence was used to maintain his dignity.

He didn't want to be so cautious for love.

He didn't know why he was alive, but he didn't want to die.

If it wasn't his imagination...

Benjamin drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then drank another. His abnormal behavior caused people who knew him to look at him sideways. He had been standing there, neither outstanding nor looking dull and boring, and no one would even notice him. However, this made it inevitable that some people who loved fun and had special tastes would become interested.

For example, Boss Han’s son, Jordan.

The circle of the truly powerful second-generation rich is quite narrow. Jordan has never seen Benjamin, which means that the man in front of him is most likely the newly hired CEO of a company. Those who can wear a suit properly and are dull and boring are all old men. But Benjamin tilted his head and drank one glass after another. When he was too anxious, some of the wine rolled down his neck. Forgive Mr. Han for having a good memory, but how could he watch soap operas? It is normal to feel that Benjamin is unfamiliar, but Jordan likes this type. It is probably because he saw too many British gentlemen who were very serious when he was studying in the UK. He knows very well that serious and old-fashioned people are either extremely boring in private, or cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Now it is obvious that he is a good pastime.

Gold collar? Even if he was a diamond collar, he was still an employee. Without a job, no large-scale industry was allowed to hire him. Even the most capable people would still shrink. Jordan, like his father, firmly believed that there was no entertainment in the world that money could not buy.

"Good evening, who are you?"

Jordan was also the target of many people's attention at the party. When he moved, many people guessed his purpose and stared at Benjamin with eyes of watching a show or dissatisfaction.

It is basic etiquette to nod when someone greets you.

So Benjamin did it very seriously.

Unfortunately, he didn't say anything. He thought he had finished the polite greeting, so he walked aside. He didn't plan to eat anything, but maybe this was his last dinner, so why should he treat himself to a starvation? He just casually took a piece of Black Forest cake, which made Jordan's eyelids twitch. What serious and rigid professional manager would eat cake in such an occasion? That was only for children and ladies!

"I think you may not have tried this Black Sea caviar. Ah, of course you have to use a spoon made of shells. Metal will ruin the taste of the caviar..."

Before Jordan finished speaking, Benjamin had already left.

His face turned grim instantly. To be honest, he had been rejected before, but this was the first time he was ignored like this.

Benjamin had no idea that those words were spoken to him. This deck had half an open-air dance hall, half an indoor swimming pool, and several balconies with sea views. He changed his position at random and walked to the other side of the balcony.

Looking up at the sky, the sea breeze is very comfortable. In fact, if the atmosphere is thin, radiation will appear even without the sun.

"Senior Xia!"

Benjamin turned his head and saw that it was An Li. Since they were acquaintances, he did not leave.

"Senior Xia is acting unusual today?" An Li raised her eyebrows. Seeing that Benjamin didn't say anything, she didn't take it seriously and pointed forward:

"Look, the water spray over there! Maybe it's a whale. I heard that whale meat tastes great! Although it's internationally banned, the island country to the east catches whales every day. So sometimes, a small action can cause big trouble..."

This time, Benjamin did not think about the meaning of An Li's words. He was attracted by the huge splash of water. The light did not shine on that place, and it was vague and unclear. Benjamin felt a sudden pain in his forehead for no reason.

There was something there, watching the boat.

Suddenly, a silver fish tail appeared in the waves.

Looking down from such a high place as the Thalassa, people are not even as big as ants, but if there are fish as big as adults - I hope they are not sharks.

"I can't believe there's such a big splash, but only such a small fish!"

Benjamin suddenly said: "Maybe a group."

An Li was surprised. When she talked to Benjamin, she never expected to get a reply. Benjamin was indeed abnormal tonight. She felt a little nervous thinking about her. She was a young woman with good temperament and a promising career. Most importantly, she had a good vision. An Li was not attracted to Benjamin. She just knew that some people looked smart but were actually fools who were obsessed with the present. Some people were silent and had no sense of existence, but their minds were clear and they could always discover many things.

In her eyes, Benjamin is the latter type of person.

People will not show kindness without any benefit, she is just a good person.

Now she had a bad feeling, so she took the opportunity to smile and greet someone in the distance, hid the expression on her face with her goblet, and asked in a low voice:

"What happened?"

"...I don't know."

Benjamin paused, then hesitated, and said simply: "Don't stay on the open deck."

"Or?" An Li thought it was not that simple.

"Find a safe place and hide."

Benjamin sincerely hoped that all this was just a scare and the situation was not that serious.
