Chapter 271: The Great Wave is Coming
In the western sky, thunderclouds are thick, and silver snakes shuttle among them.
At the moment when the electric light flickered, a huge figure could be seen in the clouds.
At this time, Su Lei could already clearly feel the vibration on the ground, as if there was a feeling of thousands of horses galloping, and a sharp sea breeze was blowing in his face.
Roar!
Suddenly, a roar like thunder erupted in the clouds, but the decibels far exceeded the thunder.
This made the two people who were fleeing couldn't help but shudder, shrank their bodies, and continued to climb down the rocks.
Su Lei clearly saw that among the clouds, Ying Long poked his head down, and a cloud of white energy was brewing in his mouth.
Click!
Finally, the white light was brewing, and the white light turned into a bolt of lightning that slashed from Ying Long's mouth to the sea.
......
"Captain, our mast is broken!"
A fisherman in green rubber shoes pushed open the old iron door, wiped the water off his face, and yelled at the wheelhouse.
Somewhere off the coast of South America, 10 kilometers from land, an offshore fishing boat floats alone.
The paint paint on it reveals that it is a fishing boat from Chile.
Just ten minutes ago, the originally calm sea suddenly became rough.
Waves rushed from the ocean to the land.
The wave head has changed from half a meter at the beginning to 3 meters now, wave after wave, and the most ferocious wave even directly broke the mast.
"Try to start the engine. ”
The bearded captain lowered his binoculars and shouted to his companion at the door.
"Captain...... Our propeller, damaged in a big wave......"
The crew's face was full of despair, he had already tried, the engine was roaring, but it was difficult to go further in the sea.
Looking at the alarm on the machine, the propeller may have touched the reef in the middle of the float.
"Ditch the fish on the boat and cooperate with the others to control the hull!"
"I continue to contact the Coast Guard!"
Captain Bearded turned, reached for the walkie-talkie on the console, and dialed the number for the 20th time.
Putting the binoculars in front of him again, Captain Bearded would have liked to see the lighthouse on the coast.
You shouldn't go to sea with a fluke mentality.
Captain Bearded was filled with regret, but it was too late.
The earthquake in Peru made it impossible for all fishing boats along the coast to go to sea, but for the sake of his family's livelihood, he went to sea with the mentality of taking a gamble.
After a day and a night of sea fishing, the fishing boat harvested the best school of sardines of the year.
The sardines are plump, tender and tender, and if this batch of seafood is sold, the transaction will provide for the expenses of all the crew members on board for two months.
The first 90% of the way home is so peaceful.
And now the 10% is full of death.
Boom!
A huge wave hit, and the hull of the ship suddenly rolled 35 degrees, and the bearded captain clung to the edge of the table so that he did not fall.
Smack!
Everything on the dashboard fell to the floor, including binoculars and walkie-talkies.
"No! walkie-talkie!"
Captain Bearded tried to reach for it, but was poured into his mouth by the bitter water.
Whoop -
The influx of seawater flowed out of the window at the other end, and the hull regained its equilibrium.
Bah!
Spit out the seawater, and Captain Bearded didn't have time to check his aching knees, so he got down on his knees and searched for the walkie-talkie on the floor.
It was pitch black in the cabin, and the light bulbs were short-circuited by the seawater.
Thundered!
Thunder rang out in the sky, and by the flash of lightning, Captain Bearded found the walkie-talkie in the corner.
Holding it in his hand, the captain fumbled for a moment, and then fell to the ground again!
The antenna of the walkie-talkie had been broken, and it was washed away by the inverted seawater.
The telescope was also nearby, but luckily only one lens was dropped, and it was still usable.
"Hey, guys, how are you doing?"
Thinking of his companions who were working outside, the captain hurriedly pushed open the small door, held on to the wall, and rushed outside.
Outside, five or six people were leaning on the boat in a staggered manner.
"Captain!"
As soon as he saw the bearded captain, a fisherman couldn't help crying, and a man over 40 years old suddenly cried.
"My brother was swept overboard by a huge wave!"
The most capable lad......
Captain Hued's heart trembled, and he ran to the side of the ship in a few steps, looking at the dark waters, and there was no one except for the waves......
"Perry, I'...... I'm so sorry. ”
After thinking about all the words, there was only one sentence left of Captain Bearded.
"It was my decision to go to sea, and I let you down. ”
The palm of his hand slapped heavily on the side of the ship, and the bearded captain looked at the sea with confused eyes.
The waves are getting bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, in the water on the right side of the boat, an arm stretched out with difficulty, so small in the rough waves.
"It's Peder!"
I don't know who let out a scream of surprise!
"That's right, it's him!"
Perry pulled the rope from the boat and tied it around his waist and jumped into the inky waters.
"Be careful!
The people on the boat tugged at the rope tightly while constantly adjusting their posture to keep themselves from being shaken by the upside down.
Thundered!
The lightning in the sky became more dense, and Perry's figure floated and fell in the water, and he lost his trace for a while.
"I've grabbed Peder, pull the rope back!"
At this time, in the water 20 meters away from the fishing boat, Perry's head poked out, gasping for breath, and yelled at the person who put it on.
The hope of survival is rekindled, and Captain Bearded is the first to strike, and everyone rescues Peder.
Click!
Silver snakes rage, illuminating the distant scene.
"Captain, you...... You see, what's that?"
Beside him, a fisherman shuddered and pointed to the intersection of the sky and the sea.
"What's there?"
Captain Bearded picked up the binoculars that strapped around his waist and looked over the side with the only remaining lens.
Bang dang!
The telescope fell from the captain's hand, and the last lenses fell out.
The hand that grasped the rope could not exert any strength, and the captain leaned on the shoulder of the man behind him to stand.
"Guys, we're going to die at sea tonight. ”
There was a dead silence in the captain's eyes, and the light of hope was completely shattered.
"We've got a tsunami!"
One stone startles a thousand waves!
All the crew members were frightened, and even the most experienced crew members couldn't help but tremble with their legs.
In the sky, the sight that could only be seen with telescopes approached, turning from rows of white lines to huge waves as high as several floors.
Everyone was still, and Perry, who was holding his brother in the water, heard the roar of the approaching tsunami.
Finished!
A small fishing boat has zero chance of surviving a tsunami, and it is expected that in a few minutes, they will be scattered into pieces by the tsunami, along with the fishing boat.
"Rescue the Perry brothers first!"
At this moment, Captain Bearded came to his senses and slapped everyone on the shoulder.
"At the very least, we're going to do what we're supposed to do!"
"Everyone is a member of the fishing boat, and you can't give up on everyone!"
The roar of the bearded captain was inconspicuous in the thunder, but in the hearts of every crew, it was indeed the hardest backbone.
"Let's work together!"
The huge resistance of the sea made the rescue operation extremely difficult, and the ropes were dragged onto the fishing boats inch by inch.
The Perry brothers in the sea have choked unconscious.
Poof!
The two fell heavily on the deck, and the group rushed to help them get out of their drowning state.
Thundered!
The sound was near, but it was no longer thunder, but the roar of the sea.
At a distance of 1,000 meters in front of the fishing boat, the tsunami was clearly visible.
1 km away, whistling by.
Captain Beard's pupils shrank to the size of pintips, and they were as small as ants in the face of a tsunami of almost 100 meters.
The loud roar had already made him bleed from his mouth and nose, and he stood on the deck, Captain Bearded Captain opened his arms, smelled the salty sea breeze, and slowly closed his eyes......
