Chapter 390: Mirage (Continued 21)

The speedboat's engine was able to kick in, and we were able to rekindle our desire to survive. The Cao team sat at the stern of the boat, trying to adjust the direction and ensure the stability of the dinghy. He yelled at us to turn out the life jackets under our seats and put them on.

The speed of the speedboat became faster and faster, and we gradually moved away from the Eastern Star, but after driving a while, we found that the huge whirlpool composed of the wave wall we saw on the scientific research ship had shrunk a lot at this time, and the direction we came from, the wave wall was faintly visible, and it was less than a kilometer. But in that direction, the research ship was gone, and I wonder if Captain Jiang could use the last power to restart the engine and take the research ship out.

Obviously, Team Cao also noticed the situation ahead, he hesitated for a moment, turned the rudder sharply, and the speedboat crossed a graceful arc on the surface of the sea and turned around. I instantly understood his thoughts, and walked in the direction of the coming, about a kilometer to the wall of waves, this distance, who can guarantee that the engine will not turn off again? Once the engine is turned off, all that awaits us is the deep darkness of the sea. On the contrary, turn around and go back, it is less than 500 meters to the wave wall, and you have to rush a wave horizontally and vertically, while the engine is still running, rush early, and the chance of winning is naturally greater.

This is also what I admire the Cao team very much, he will not give up in any danger, and he can still calmly analyze and find the best plan. And it seems arbitrary, and he doesn't consult with others, but countless times we have been able to save the day, relying on his flash of inspiration.

But this time, I knew in my heart that no matter how the Cao team tossed, we were all more than lucky. The wall of waves is twenty stories high, and our dinghy is like a dead leaf in front of it, not to mention the ants on our leaves.

The Cao team set the direction of the bow of the ship, and the speed of the motor also reached the limit, and in the huge roar, they rushed forward without hesitation. I pulled out a life jacket from under my seat and threw it at him. Team Cao took it over and smiled: "Lao Chang, this time I really put you and Huansheng in the air." ”

I smiled at him, "Team Cao, it's more than once, how many times have you been dead and alive, but you just don't admit it." But I thought, even if we rush out this time, are we out there, are we in the present or in the past?"

My words came out of my mouth, only Huansheng seemed to understand some of the meaning, Cao Team and Xiao Lei were staring at each other with big eyes, with a look of my head being squeezed by the door, Cao Team muttered, "In the past? Isn't that still the same us as before?" Then I must try my best to persuade you not to go this way. “

"Not necessarily, Lao Cao, maybe you just returned to an extremely real dream, and you really want to find us immediately and go to the South China Sea to verify it. Huan Sheng, who had been silent, said a word, and I suddenly felt a chill down my spine, and I didn't know if it was a wave coming up.

Team Cao didn't know if he didn't understand at all, or deliberately avoided it, so he didn't answer, just stared at the big wave in front of him. When I turned back to look, the dinghy was less than a few dozen meters away from the wave wall. At this time, the grandeur of the wall of waves made me forget my fear, and instead a sense of awe welled up.

The flashlight pillars of several of us hit the wave wall, reflecting a little bit of crystal light, as if lighting up the stars in the sky, and as if the scattered water vapor was condensed into ice. When I got closer, I realized that this tall wall of waves did not rise from the ground, from the back waves against the front waves, undulating and staggering, but a huge column of water as thick as a dragon, twisting horizontally, slowly turning, layered, like a huge wicker rattan tube, and our dinghy was located at the bottom edge of the tube.

At that moment, I suddenly realized that this was not a wave wall at all, the top of the wave was actually the sea level, and our dinghy, including the scientific research ship that had stayed there, was at the bottom of this huge whirlpool, and because of this, the wave wall was never pressed down. But what made me wonder why we didn't feel anything when we entered the whirlpool with such a large difference in elevation? What was even more shocking was that there was no sound at all in the whirlpool, no wind call, no crash of the waves, and I had the illusion that I was still wearing a mask, but the roar of the dinghy's engine reminded me that this idea was not correct.

But at this time, when we are thinking, when we see the wall of waves in front of us, we all despair. If it is a wave, we at least have the possibility of breaking out of the wave, but this whirlpool, we can't penetrate and can't go up, although we won't break our bones when we hit it, but don't expect it to surface if you want to surface.

In just a few seconds, countless thoughts may have flashed through Cao Team, and at the moment when he was about to collide, he finally made a decision. Turning the rudder, he pressed his whole body on the handle of the tail rudder without hesitation. The dinghy struck sideways so rapidly that it almost capsized. We clung to the railing, our bodies pressed to the side of the ship, and when I looked at the stern, Cao's sturdy body was lying on the tiller, shaking with the huge impact of the rudder and the sea.

The efforts of the Cao team paid off, and at the moment of hitting the wall of waves, the hull of the dinghy hit horizontally, and it crossed against the edge of the wall of waves, and soon the dinghy adjusted its direction, and we sailed straight forward, a certain distance away from the wall of waves.

We were soaked in the dinghy, and there was almost ankle-deep water in the boat, so Team Cao wiped his face and sat down at the stern.

"Team Cao, the whirlpool is shrinking, and the wave wall in front of you is less than five hundred meters. Ray stood up in the dinghy and looked forward.

"Lao Cao, it's useless, this kind of whirlpool Dongxing's tens of thousands of tons of giant ships will be swept in, and our small boat can't rush out. Huan Sheng smiled wryly and wiped his glasses.

Before Huan Sheng's words fell, the heart-wrenching sound of a horn sounded again above our heads. The distance is so close, and the sound is long and long, and it lasts for a long time. We suddenly remembered the East Star not far from us, and several flashlights shone towards the sea on the left.

The purple mist still hung above the sea, but it obviously began to fade, and the black hole in the center of the purple mist disappeared, leaving only a faint yellow light, which seemed to go farther and farther, and the behemoth Dongxing was gone.

"Often, there were records of whirlpools and waterspouts in the South China Sea centuries ago, and where we are now, we are called the Devil's Sea. "Huan Sheng's nerves are also very big, and in dangerous situations can't prevent him from becoming a chatterbox. Even though we didn't respond, he said to himself.

"Chang, that black hole I always feel very similar to the desert devil city that Lu Binglin said, the strange fog, the failure of electronic equipment, the disappearance of personnel, all the same, thinking about it this way, Wei Zhihua should roughly know what is on this sea, otherwise he would not have gotten Lu Binglin on the ship, as for using Lu Binglin's mathematical model to determine the location of the Dongxing ontology, we will also hear it. “

"The saddest thing is Lu Binglin, who retreated in the face of difficulties, not that he didn't know what he might have to face, or was fooled by Wei Zhihua, but now it's okay to accompany the Dongxing to the funeral. "I knew that Huansheng was still angry about leaving Lu Binglin a few times at this time, and he was angry with Wei Zhihua, so he didn't answer.

"Lao Cao, I don't understand, if Wei Zhihua is because of the task and Lu Binglin is concerned about research, why do you want to get involved?" Huansheng saw that I didn't speak, so he simply harassed the Cao team again.

"Because of Xuanmen, do you think that a powerless and powerless person like the boat boss can be admitted to the best hospital in Haikou? What happened to him is exactly the same as what happened in Beijing back then. Team Cao didn't look at Huansheng, still staring coldly at the wave wall in front of him.

When everyone was speechless, Team Cao suddenly turned around and looked at us with a ruthless face, "If you want to make the last fight, I still have to hit the wave wall once." Everybody grasped something. Team Cao didn't wait for us to answer, and turned the bow of the ship again.

According to the temperament of the Cao team, he really wants to rush, he has already rushed in just now, he is not a wandering person, turning around, it must be impossible to do anything, but there is a point of certainty, he will not go around again, and take the risk of the engine stopping at any time. And at this moment, he decided to rush again, could it be that he thought of some way?

This thought flashed through his mind, and soon he smiled bitterly again, at the bottom of this whirlpool, what can be done by a small boat of more than ten meters?

Soon, the Cao team increased the speed of the dinghy to the fastest, the roar of the engine drowned out all the sounds of the outside world, when the limit of the speed of the boat came, the body of the dinghy began to tremble violently, and the hull often jumped out of the sea, and smashed down heavily, which made me worry that the dinghy would fall apart at any time, but the Cao team did not slow down at all, just stared at the wave wall like a stone sculpture.

The wall of waves was less than twenty meters in front of us, and the huge pressure made me breathe rapidly, and the light column of the flashlight trembled a little, and everyone waited with bated breath for the final moment. At this time, the Cao team turned the tail rudder sharply.

This time, although the direction of the strong attack was not as urgent as the last time, the hull almost came to a 90-degree roll, and at the moment of hitting the wave wall, the speedboat and the wave wall formed a level, and the bottom of the speedboat hit the wave wall, and the whole hull also shook violently, almost overturning us all out of the boat. The impact seemed to have no effect on the Cao team, and the movements were still coherent and accurate, and he should have adjusted the angle of the tail rudder again, turning slightly from the level to the inside of the wave wall, and suddenly the dinghy began to shake violently.

"Quick, all the weight to the left. Team Cao roared again, and before the words fell, the rain curtain covering the sky was already coming.
