Chapter 2284 Ghost at Sea

The Royal Tulip went to Indy after it went into the sea in 1870, and then returned from Indy a year later. In addition to hundreds of tons of gold, the ship was also filled with various cultural relics and antiques collected from Indy. The value of this ship could have been called a wealthy country at that time. If it could be brought back, it would have been consumed for many years.

But no one expected that the Royal Tulip disappeared on the sea just one and a half years after it was built and entered the sea, and the seventy-eight crew members on the ship were also dead.

Later, His Royal Highness sent ships to search on that route three times, but no discovery was made, because they expected that the Tulip would be missing for some other reason, rather than sinking to the bottom of the sea. After all, the value of the things on the ship was amazing.

Unfortunately, there was no discovery. The ship had never been seen again. The load on the ship naturally disappeared. This loss could make people vomit blood for three liters, but this was impossible. It was hard to find traces at sea. Even if you knew that the ship had sunk to the bottom of the sea, let alone that it was difficult to salvage it now.

After hearing Zhang Hang's words, Wang Zan frowned and asked, "When was the last time you discovered it?"

"I discovered it two months ago. The ship appeared for more than an hour and many people saw it. The authenticity is absolutely fine."

"There has been more than a hundred years since 1870. Is it possible that no one has discovered the achievements except you?" Wang Zan asked curiously.

Zhang Hang shook his head and said, "There is no theory. If there were any, the news might have been out long ago. It would be impossible that there was no news at all. Our company also issued a ban on several crew members and gave a large bonus, which made them silent and not spread the news. But to be honest, I don't know how long it can be kept secret."

Wang Zan frowned and said, "On that route, not only your company's ship passes by, how could no one find it?"

Zhang Hang explained: "First of all, this route is relatively new, and there are not many boats taken every year, because there are still many sea storms in that area. Secondly, when we discovered this ship twice, there were fog on the sea surface, and the time was around the early morning. If it were not a coincidence, it was indeed difficult to find it. So our freighter had some luck. It may have been discovered by someone, but it didn't take it seriously, just like when we saw it for the first time, we thought it was an illusion."

Wang Zan nodded. He was not very familiar with the sea affairs. Perhaps there were various possibilities and it was not accurate. He then continued to ask: "You are here to find me. Could it be that you want me to go with you to find this ghost ship?"

Zhang Hang's eyes shone a little, obviously full of longing, and expectation for unknown possibilities. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Zan's arm and said excitedly: "Do you know? I have lived in the port since I was seven years old. My whole childhood and youth were spent on the beach and on various cruise ships and freighters. Later, when I grew up, I went to the Maritime Academy. It is no exaggeration to tell you that Wang Zan, my positioning for myself is that even if I die in the future, I have to die on the sea. The grave on the land is not my final belonging."

"For me, all the unknowns and unsolved things on the sea are my yearning, and I can even give some of it." Zhang Hang said in a hurry with his fist clenched and said, "And on the sea, the most famous legend is the ghost ship, but the rumors in the past are really just legends, but this time we discovered a ghost ship that is very likely to exist. Don't you think this is a very exciting and desirable thing?"

Wang Zan really wants to say that I don’t think so, because he is curious and interested, but he is far less excited and fanatical than Zhang Hang. He is almost like being possessed by the devil.

Zhang Hang said: "Do you go with me? It shouldn't be difficult to find that ship, but I want to get on the boat and take a look... I don't have to ask for the things on the boat. This is the truth. I am more interested in the ghost ship itself, and among the people I can know, you can help me."

Wang Zan knew that the other party asked him to position him as a security officer to prevent any indescribable things from happening on the ghost ship. Just like the last time he accompanied Ye Huichen to the Mesopotamia Plain, this matter must be more or less risky.

Wang Zan originally wanted to refuse, and he had his own thing to do. Another thing was that he wanted to relax. However, seeing Zhang Hang's hand holding the wine glass was trembling, he understood that it might be Zhang Hang's lifelong dream to go to the sea to find the ghost ship. If he refused him, it would be quite cruel.

Furthermore, it seems to be pretty good to go to the sea to relax?

It seems that I have never sailed far away, so it’s nothing to experience this feeling. Most people may be curious about the ghost ship, and Wang Zan is no exception.

"When will we set off?" Wang asked in an exclaim. After he asked, he felt that he was a little crazy. Isn't this idle?

Zhang Hang was stunned, then his face looked happy. He said excitedly: "Of course, the faster the better. There is a cargo ship under the company that will set off in a week and take that route. At that time, we can follow this ship to go. What do you think?"

There is no conflict with Wang Zan at this time. Anyway, he was too lazy to go back to the Land Temple during this period, so he said to Zhang Hang: "Okay, I'll stay in the capital for the time being. I'll go to Tianjin to find you before departure..."

Wang Zan and Zhang Hang set the tone to agree to go out to sea with him, and the chat between the two ended here. Fan Zhongxin's drink party continued, and it seemed that it would take at least several hours to end. Wang Zan was meaningless to stay. Another thing was that most people didn't know, so he really didn't know how to get along with them, because Wang Zan felt that unless it was a specific reason after this drink party, he was very worried that he would have any contact with the people here, so he said hello to Fan Zhongxin and went back to bed.
