Chapter 143: The Black Hand Reaches Out
Shen Zhuxi's violent coughing continued to pierce Gu Huaizuo's heart, how could it be impossible to sail 30 nautical miles in 5 minutes, even if the tsunami had not officially hit now, the waves of monstrous waves had made the boat unbearable.
The crowd did not have time to scream in fear, and in order to survive, they dumped the seawater that had seeped into the ship with tools on the deck.
Gu Huaizuo judged that Shen Zhuxi's cold seemed to be getting worse and worse, and Gu Huaizuo desperately called someone to help.
As the captain stepped out of the deck, he heard movement and immediately went to the cockpit and saw the two of them in the cockpit like that.
Seeing that Gu Huaizuo was calling himself, he walked over extremely impatiently, Gu Huaizuo asked the captain to take Shen Zhuxi to the lounge to rest, and the captain was also tired and panicked, and finally agreed. The male protagonist took the female protagonist to the lounge and took care of it. Half an hour later, the boat suddenly made a violent collision sound.
Gu Huaizuo knew that the impact was because the tsunami had finally hit, so he hurriedly put the soaked outsider on Shen Zhuxi, and then put on the life jacket: "Wait a minute, you must hold on to me!"
After saying this in a hurry, Gu Huaizuo took a rope and tied it around Shen Zhuxi's waist, and when he was on the life jacket on the boat, the boat was instantly overturned by the tsunami, and the biting cold sea water instantly did not reach the top of his head, Gu Huaizuo opened his eyes in the sea water, and pulled the rope to pull Shen Zhuxi to the sea.
"Help!Hmm!Help!" Shen Zhuxi's head sometimes surfaced, and sometimes sank into the sea, Gu Huaizuo was distressed, and in a hurry, Gu Huaizuo dived into the sea and forced himself to open his eyes to see if there was a place for Shen Zhuxi to gain a foothold.
A few meters away in front of him, the shadow of a reef came into view, Gu Huai looked around the overturned boat, everyone fell into the water, and the raging tsunami was about to sweep away all the people and boats!
Gu Huaizuo swam to the reef with his breath, and tied the rope tied to his body to the reef with difficulty, Shen Zhuxi could no longer breathe, and the life jacket on his body was swept by the tsunami, without the slightest effect.
When the tsunami was about to take Shen Zhuxi away, she suddenly felt the rope on her waist tighten, and she grabbed the rope tightly as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and slowly swam along the rope.
Gu Huaizuo had already choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater, but he still held on, barely grabbed Shen Zhuxi's leg under the surface of the sea, and put her on the reef.
"Whew!" After Gu Huaizuo completed a series of movements, he was finally able to surface the sea to breathe a breath of air mixed with seawater.
"Huaizuo!Huaizuo!Where are you!!" Shen Zhuxi could only let her mouth and nose rise to the surface of the sea in front of her, and at the moment when she didn't even have time to breathe, she forced herself and tried to shout Gu Huaizuo's name.
Gu Huaizuo didn't have time to respond, the tsunami smashed the deck of the boat, and the driftwood slapped like Gu Huaizuo fiercely, Gu Huaizuo dived into the sea in a hurry to dodge, and then he floated to the surface again and caught the smashed plank.
"Zhuxi, you hold this plank!" Gu Huaizuo didn't have time to feel the severe pain coming from his body, as long as he could survive in this dangerous situation, rescue would definitely come!
Shen Zhuxi's tears were more bitter than the sea, and tears came out of his eyes - Gu Huaizuo's forehead was bubbling with blood, and even Gu Huaizuo didn't even notice that he was injured.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Gu Huaizuo didn't have time to take care of others, as long as he saw that Shen Zhuxi was safe for the time being, he was already satisfied, and even had a faint smile on his face, a smile that was more bitter than bitter melon.
Shen Zhuxi nodded vigorously at Gu Huaizuo, as long as he was by his side, even if he was going to die now, she didn't have much regret.
Gu Huaizuo guarded Shen Zhuxi's side wholeheartedly, waiting for rescue, the broken and overturned boat was slowly sinking, when the hull was still a little bit on the sea, Gu Huaizuo saw an incredible scene - Walker was actually on the lifeboat with 30 other people?
All the clues in front of him quickly became the truth in Gu Huaizuo's mind, the boat leakage must have been done by him, and the military base was probably east of the current position, which meant that the ship did not sail west to the mainland according to the route, but went in the wrong direction completely! Sail straight to the depths of the sea, the tsunami and stormy waves were completely under Walker's manipulation, and he took a boatload of innocent people to die!
The anger made Gu Huai's blood boil, and he grabbed Shen Zhuxi's hand, which also heated up quickly, and the temperature made Shen Zhuxi unwilling to lose, she urgently needed this warmth.
More than 30 people on the lifeboat who escaped the tsunami and killed slowly rowed towards the military base, Shen Zhuxi and Gu Huaizuo only had their heads floating on the water, plus the distance was a little far, and the waves were too loud, no one found the two of them on the lifeboat.
Missing in the sea is an extremely terrifying thing, in case Walker uses his hands and feet to conceal that the two of them have not been rescued and prevent the arrival of the maritime search and rescue team, Gu Huaizuo and Shen Zhuxi can only wait for death on the sea......
Annoyance and panic rose in Gu Huai's left heart, he blamed himself for being too careless, the ten small boats that set off together gradually "abandoned" the boat he was in inadvertently, and he only had the sick Shen Zhuxi in his eyes, why didn't he detect Walker's conspiracy earlier! Why didn't he stop him in time!
The hateful Gu Huaizuo has completely dissipated his mind of retreating, he originally wanted to settle the matter and not pursue any insiders, as long as Shen Zhuxi is safe, but now, it is the wicked who are unwilling to let go of himself and Shen Zhuxi!
We must survive! Settle accounts with Walker!
"Huaizuo, I'm so cold......" Shen Zhuxi spit out with difficulty, her lips were already dark and white.
Gu Huaizuo raised his hand distressedly and stroked Shen Zhuxi's face, mixed with seawater, Shen Zhuxi may not be able to notice that there are more tears on his face: "With me, don't be afraid, you must hold on, hold on for another 10 minutes, okay?"
Shen Zhuxi smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay, I can hold it for ten minutes." ”
Gu Huaizuo nodded vigorously, and also promised her not to lose her sense of security: "You wait for me here, I'll go and see if there is anything that can be used in the cabin." ”
Shen Zhuxi hurriedly wanted to stop him, but Gu Huaizuo had already dived into the sea desperately, and only himself was left around, Shen Zhuxi's uneasiness and fear swelled in his heart, and he was more worried about Gu Huaizuo's safety, afraid that he would be like this and never come back......
Gu Huaizuo stepped on the sinking small broken ship, hoping to find something that could be used from under the deck, and all the passengers had put their luggage in it just now.
Gu Huaizuo, who was breathing a little on the surface of the sea, saw a lifebuoy floating over, and he fixed the lifebuoy near the boat with a rope, so that he could still hold the lifebuoy when his physical strength was overdrawn and take a little rest.
Diving into the deck many times, Gu Huaizuo struggled to find things that could be used, a violin case, a plastic suitcase, and some large airplane mineral water bottles were carried onto the ship by greedy passengers, and these mineral waters were revealed because of Gu Huaizuo's rummaging.
Gu Huaizuo was reluctant to pour out the rare fresh water, maybe Shen Zhuxi was thirsty, and connected the found items with ropes, Gu Huaizuo swam back to Shen Zhuxi with a lifebuoy.
"I've found water, drink it. Gu Huaizuo dismantled the small bottle of mineral water and handed it to Shen Zhuxi, while pouring out the water in several plastic buckets, preparing to use plastic buckets and plastic suitcases, tie them up with ropes, and ask Shen Zhuxi to sit in it and row back to the military base, since the location of the base is called the Azores, it is very likely that there are other small islands around, as long as the physical strength is not overdrawn, and there is still a rest, self-help is not a problem for Gu Huaizuo, provided that Shen Zhuxi can be effectively protected.
Gu Huaizuo floated the plastic suitcase on the surface of the sea, slowly opened the suitcase, and there were a lot of children's snacks in the suitcase, it seems that the owner of the suitcase is with a child.
After piecing together the plastic suitcase into a simple boat according to his own plan, he asked Shen Zhuxi to sit on it, and he put on a swimming ring and pushed Shen Zhuxi to row in the direction of the shadow of the military base.
Just when Gu Huaizuo's physical strength was exhausted, from a distance, he seemed to see someone waving at him, Gu Huaizuo shook his dizzy head, and only then did he see clearly that in front of him, it was the group of passengers who left in the lifeboat.
Shen Zhuxi was constantly falling into a drowsiness due to the cold, Gu Huaizuo held on, and tried to row towards the crowd waving to him, and when there were about 30 meters, several men in the group finally jumped into the sea and swam to him, pulling the two of them ashore with difficulty.
It turned out that they happened to pass by this shallow island when they were trying to survive, and the waves were higher and would have completely submerged the island.
"We have to find a way to get back to the base in the Azores, and when the sun sets and the tide rises, the island will be submerged. A compatriot who had also returned to China said sharply to Gu Huaizuo, who was paralyzed on the coast and breathing.
Gu Huaizuo raised his eyes to look at his compatriots who spoke Chinese, and looked around at the group of white people, who also had several yellow faces inside.
"The boat leaking is man-made, don't trust them. Gu Huaizuo said to his compatriots anxiously.
The compatriots thought he was stupid and didn't dare to believe his "nonsense", and at the moment he didn't care about anything other than survival: "Don't talk about this, you may have a fever, we must first find a way to return to the Azores base." ”
Gu Huaizuo was annoyed that he didn't believe his words, there was only one lifeboat, and it stopped on this small island just now due to overloading, before the high tide, more than 30 people would inevitably be divided into two teams, and the dinghy would inevitably be taken away by one of the teams.
Because everyone wants to live, and they don't want to sink into the sea with the island under their feet, maybe a fierce battle is about to break out.
My companion is suffering from a high fever and she must be treated as soon as possible. Gu Huaizuo walked towards the white crowd and shouted at everyone.
The white people who heard the sound turned their heads, Gu Huaizuo's forehead was still oozing blood, and one of them hurriedly took off his soaked coat, then took off the white vest inside, twisted the vest reluctantly, and handed it to Gu Huaizuo for him to use to stop the bleeding.
Gu Huaizuo found that his forehead was dripping blood, just now because he was in the sea, the blood was washed away by the sea as soon as it seeped out, and in an emergency, he didn't even feel pain.
"Thank you......" Before the words of thanks were finished, in the crowd, Walker suddenly got out of the crowd.
"The boat was scuttled by him!" Walker shouted to the crowd.
Gu Huaizuo's heart was shocked, and the sense of crisis hit his heart violently, and he scolded angrily: "You actually sue the wicked first?"
