บท 136: Arctic Sea

"The numbers… they feel like coordinates to me." Gu Jun's hypothesis hung heavily inside the conference room. The sky was still dark, and Gu Jun's revelation appeared to carry palpable weight. Gu Jun had spent a lot of his childhood studying his parents' nautical chart. They would have coordinates similar to this set of numbers on them. The place he visited in his dream was an island in the middle of the ocean. Then, the connection was made to the Seagull, how it had traversed the various corners of the world in the name of scientific research. Could this abandoned island in his dream have been a stop during its nautical journey?

"I believe they are the coordinates for that island in the dream," he said.

'Nautical coordinates?' Yao Sinian and Prof Qin's expressions changed. They knew not to treat Gu Jun's 'instinct' lightly. Before this, the researchers leaned toward the belief that the numbers were some kind of countdown because they appeared in a descending order.
