Chapter 176: There Are Others in the Water
"Mr. Liang, Captain Ren, you are also here!" George happily jumped out of the boat and said hello while dragging the lifeboat in the sea more than a meter deep.
The gains from this operation were very high.
In total, several people found five bags of flour and three bags of rice in the ship's warehouse. I also brought back some daily necessities such as reclining chairs and bath towels.
There were two ships full of these things.
"George, you need to be assured of rest. Don't get too tired. ”
"I'm not tired, and now we need these things to guarantee our life on the island. George said with his chest held out.
He is telling the truth. Now there is an urgent need for all kinds of daily necessities at the camp. George brought back these things to make everyone's stay a little more comfortable tonight.
"Have you seen Mike? I need him to help me unload the cargo!" George asked in surprise when he saw that Mike was not with Liang Shaoyang.
Liang Shaoyang also found that there was one person missing from George's team.
"He didn't go with you?" Liang Shaoyang had a faint bad premonition in his heart.
"Mr. Mack said he was tired and wanted to stay here to rest!" George also looked a little anxious.
Hearing that Mike was left alone on the beach, Liang Shaoyang couldn't help but glance back at Ren Hongyi.
"We should go to him immediately!" Ren Hongyi said solemnly.
"Captain Ren, you and George go to the cruise ship to pick up the live broadcast equipment first. I'm coming to Mike. Liang Shaoyang thought for a while and said.
They tied the cable of the lifeboat. Empty a lifeboat and let George and another crew member carry Ren Hongyi onboard. Liang Shaoyang led the other four crew members along the beach to search for Mike's traces.
"Mike, Mr. Mike—" The four crew members split into two groups and searched for Mike's whereabouts on both sides of the harbor.
Liang Shaoyang cautiously observed the place where Mike had stayed and rested. And tried to find the direction in which he left.
About fifty meters away from where Mike was resting, he found a messy patch of grass and a small tree with broken branches.
The finger-thick branch was newly broken. There was also a strand of cloth hanging from it.
Next to the small tree, there are several footprints of different sizes and shades.
"Could it be that the second mate captured Mike?" Liang Shaoyang thought. He wanted to keep tracking the direction of the footprints, but that would have to go into a dense wood.
The second mate and his men are outlaws.
They knew that they had committed serious piracy crimes, and they would do everything they could to escape from the island.
In desperation, they will use any means to capture lifeboats or attack survivors' camps.
"The news must be told to the people in the camp in a timely manner. Liang Shaoyang looked at the woods for a moment, then turned around and walked back.
"You bring your stuff to the camp. Tell Miss Mo Bing about the situation here, so that she and Mr. Zheng will be more vigilant. Liang Shaoyang explained to the four crew members.
"But what about our lifeboats?" the four sailors knew what lifeboats meant to them.
"Don't worry, the second officer won't have the guts to steal our ship during the day!" Liang Shaoyang said loudly.
When the four crew members saw Liang Shaoyang say this, they each picked up some rice noodles and walked towards the newly built camp. And Liang Shaoyang found a place where he could see the port and hid. Use a telescope to observe the situation around the harbor.
On the yacht's side.
George skillfully piloted the lifeboat and sent Ren Hongyi to the side of the cruise ship.
They tied the cable of the lifeboat to the yacht and climbed onto the boat together.
Ren Hongyi walked down the stairs a few steps. It was found that the cabins below deck were almost entirely submerged. Only the corridor on the bow side of the ship was still more than a foot high.
The cabin where Ren Hongyi lives is over there. Although he can swim, he is not very good at water.
Now seeing that there is still air above the cabin, Ren Hongyi has some confidence.
"I'm going down to get something. If I don't come up, pull me up. Ren Hongyi found a rope to tie to his waist and said to George and the other crew members.
"Captain Ren, I'll go down with you!" George walked over enthusiastically.
"It's okay!" Ren Hongyi was originally at a loss for the dark-drenched cabin, and saw that George was willing to go down with him. Very happy.
George ran to the cab and found two waterproof flashlights. handed one to Ren Hongyi, took one for himself, and walked down the stairs to the cabin on the lower floor.
Ren Hongyi swam for a while, then surfaced to take a breath, and soon he found his cabin.
Together, he and George pulled the hatch open, and something floating inside immediately poured out. So that they can't get in right away.
The live broadcast equipment was hidden at the bottom of the bed where Ren Hongyi lived. Packed in a large, waterproof travel bag.
"I'll go down and look for something first, and you wait for me outside. After Ren Hongyi finished speaking, he plunged into the water and dived into his cabin.
When he found the bag, he was thrilled.
Picking up the travel bag, Ren Hongyi turned around and quickly swam out.
When he exited the hatch, he saw a flashlight flickering on the water, and thought George was guiding him, so he swam towards the flashlight.
But he swam for a long time and did not see George. In his memory, he didn't feel like he had dived that far and hurried to the surface.
However, when his head touched the roof of the cabin, he found that it was covered with water.
At this time, Ren Hongyi hurriedly opened his mouth to breathe, and a mouthful of salty and cold sea water poured into his mouth at once.
Ren Hongyi was dazed, threw away his travel bag, and struggled desperately in a frenzy.
At this moment, he felt an arm wrap around his neck from behind, pushing him away from that position and onto the surface.
"Ahh
It wasn't until he felt his feet stand on the stairs that he grabbed the handrail of the stairs and gasped for breath.
"Mr. Ren, you're lost, it's so dangerous!" at this time, George said worriedly beside him.
It was he who pulled Ren Hongyi up from the water just now.
"I saw your flashlight, so I went over there!" Ren Hongyi said as he coughed and gasped.
"Electricity, electricity, light, impossible. My flashlight just broke. It's gone out all at once!" said George, shaking the flashlight in his hand in confusion.
The flashlight in his hand really didn't shine anymore.
"Could it be that there are other people in the water?" Ren Hongyi suddenly became alert.
George also felt strange.
He had been floating in the corridor at the bow of the boat, and he hadn't seen anyone else in the water.
"Mr. Ren, let's go up first and see if our people are there!" George thought the crew member was also in the water. So it was suggested.
"George, I'm going to take out the bag!" Ren Hongyi hurriedly said as he remembered that the large travel bag containing the live broadcast equipment had been dropped in the corridor.
"Mr. Ren, don't worry, I'll go get the package back!" George took the initiative.
"George, be careful!" Ren Hongyi choked on the water just now, his body is very weak, and it may be difficult to dive again. So admonished.
"I know!" George took the waterproof flashlight that Ren Hongyi handed him, and then dived into the water to find the lost travel bag.
The flashlight formed a white light and shadow in the pitch-black water, and it swam towards the corridor filled with seawater.
Half a minute later, George came out of the water again. He held the travel bag in one hand and showed it to Ren Hongyi.
"George, this is the bag. Ren Hongyi grabbed the bag and said gratefully.
"Mr. Ren, I'm afraid that's all you saw just now!" George pulled another cell phone from his belt.
That phone seems to be the most advanced satellite phone. A missed call prompt also flashed on the waterproof screen.
"Maybe!" Ren Hongyi took the phone and glanced at it.
The phone is still running.
He didn't know what passenger on the ship had dropped it. But the satellite phone was the most valuable discovery of their trip.
With this phone, they are likely to call for help. It's much faster than calling for help via satellite with a live streaming device.
Ren Hongyi put the phone in his coat pocket without thinking about it, and then walked to the deck with George.
When they went up to the deck, they found that the crew member guarding the staircase was gone.
"Henry, where are you, we should go!" shouted George.
But no one answered them.
"Henry—" George's tone quickened.
"George,——" At this time, Ren Hongyi hurriedly grabbed George, who was looking for his companion along the deck.
George looked in the direction indicated by Ren Hongyi, only to see a few wet bare footprints on the deck.
They were all wearing shoes.
Now there were bare footprints on the deck, and someone else must have come up.
Thinking of this, Ren Hongyi suddenly became nervous.
He pulled his pistol from his waist and pulled George against the bulkhead, taking a closer look around him.
By this time, it was almost dark.
The sea breeze whistled and blew on the deck of this pleasure boat, making an eerie whistling sound. The boat swayed slightly under the impact of the waves, making a soft rattling sound.
The atmosphere on the ship was a little scary.
At this moment, a timid voice shouted not far from them, "George, is that you?"
"Henry, where are you, come out quickly. George heard the voice of the crew member and hurriedly shouted.
"George, I'm here!" came a man from the captain's quarters, blushing and hurrying towards them.
"Henry, what are you doing there? Didn't you keep watch at the staircase?" George scolded anxiously.
"I, I'm hungry and want to find something to eat. Henry shook a glass of water in his hand and said embarrassedly.
"Okay, we've got the things, let's go!" Ren Hongyi hurriedly said when he saw that there was no one around.
"Hmm. Henry, it's getting dark, let's go back. Although George was puzzled, he hurriedly said when he saw Ren Hongyi say this.
The three of them put their big travel bags on the lifeboat and drove towards the island.
Ren Hongyi sat on the boat and looked at the yacht.
Under the cover of night, he seemed to see in a trance that there seemed to be a figure shaking on the deck of the cruise ship.
