An unmanned, unpowered ship can still drift away quietly and quickly. Besides using bio-power, I can't think of any other possibility.
That is to say, something is pushing it along.
"The hole in the ship's bottom doesn't look like it was made by a cutting tool. It seems to have been punctured by an external force and then forcibly torn open," recalled Bi Shi.
"That definitely means it's not man-made. Something from the sea tore open the bottom and went inside," I immediately speculated.
"Did you look at the bottom of the ship when you were in the water?" Qinghan asked.
"No, I was busy escaping for my life. I only glanced back once to check if those things were catching up."
Apparently, Qinghan and I had the same thought. The ship wouldn't just grow legs and walk away unless it had legs underneath.
"I want to go have a look. Can you still find that spot?" Qinghan knew the chance was slim, so his tone was light, as if casually asking.
