Text Chapter 1697 The Danger of the Trench
Standing on the coast, you can see a small island in the sea not far away, but no one has ever been there, and the fishermen who fish say that when the boat arrives there, it will be blown back by the wind. Although it is close, it is impossible to reach it, nor can it go ashore, nor can it be taken in a small boat, and there is a strong current at the foot of the island, and the boat will be carried to the depths of the sea. There were also people who tried to swim through, but the water there was too deep, the reef was full of rocks, and there were too many whirlpools, and one accidentally could be swept in, and no one dared to try it.
Looking at the vast sea in front of him, who would have thought that there was an undersea tunnel underneath it, and it would extend all the way from the tunnel to here, was this a natural formation, or was it the power of God? Anaryu believed that it was created by the hand of God. Haman and Lin Xiao also came out, and Anari told them about his guess, and all three of them found it incredulous. Looking back at the tunnel that had just come out, I thought that there was a monster inside, which was really like a dream. Is that monster just staying at the bottom of the sea?
The four of them stood dumbfounded, the sea breeze was whistling by, the waves crashing against the reef, making a roaring sound, it was very familiar to the ears, this is not the sound I heard in the cave just now, so to speak, I really came out of the bottom of the sea? A whistle came from the distance, and the four of them looked up, and a steamer was coming here, and Lima shouted: "Help, we are here." He turned on his phone's flashlight and shook it desperately.
The one probably saw the signal he was sending and drove slowly over. This is a medium-sized fishing boat, about twenty meters long, it is tossed up and down with the waves, and the dazzling light shines on, and Lin Xiao's eyes can't be opened. The ship was getting closer and closer, and several people saw hope and shouted loudly, but the wind was howling, and their voices disappeared as soon as they came out, and even they could not hear themselves. So they all took out their mobile phones, Lin Xiao's mobile phone had long been turned off when it was out of power, and a few faint spots of light were shaking in the dark.
The boat was facing forward against the sea breeze, and somehow, the closer it got to the island, the stronger the wind became, and the more rapid the current. It was difficult to move forward a hundred meters from the island, where there seemed to be a chasm separating the ship from the island. As soon as the ship wanted to cross it, it would change direction and head away from the island.
The steamer tried again and again, turning and turning back, but could not get closer, and at last, when it stopped its efforts, and stopped there, and the four men on the island were so anxious that they could fly over and push it. Lima kept cursing, Haman shouted desperately, Anaryu and Lin Xiao were calmer, they analyzed that there might be a strong ocean current down here, flowing around the island, like a moat.
Anaryu knew more about this area, and he said to Lin Xiao: "This island is very magical, it is said that it is a place where the gods live, and no one has ever come up, even if it is rumored that the price of life, it can only be washed into the deeper ocean." Lin Xiao observed the direction of the water flow and said to Anaryu: "You see, the water above flows to the island, but the water below flows horizontally, and it flows very rapidly, I don't know what the reason is. "Although it was night, the moonlight was bright, and standing on a high place, you could still see the direction of the seawater, and the water flowing sideways was very fast, washing all the aquatic plants floating on the surface of the water.
Eventually, the ship stopped, and the four watched anxiously, while Lima and Haman quieted down, wondering if the people on board would give up on rescuing them. Lima said: "They should have lowered the boat and tried it, because I couldn't swim so far." Harman looked at the turbulent currents and found it more difficult for the boat to get closer, saying, "If the big boat can't get through, the boat is even harder." The two men argued, and Lima said, "Do you dare to bet with me?" and Haman, of course, would not admit defeat and said, "Well, you said to bet or something?"
Lima said: "You have money, I can't bully you, just gamble, the boat can get by, you give me 10,000 dollars, the boat can't get by, I'll give you 1,000 dollars." Haman laughed when he heard this: "You don't suffer a loss, just do as you say." This time, I'm going to have to win you a thousand dollars. When Analu heard this, he felt that this bet was very unfair, and wanted to remind Haman, but Lin Xiao pulled him and said, "They are joking, don't take it seriously." ”
When Lima heard this, he said loudly: "A bet is a bet, how can you make a joke?" Haman, do you give money if you lose?" Haman patted his chest: "Of course I give it, but if I don't give it to the fish and shrimp in the water." Lima then said, "Do you want money if you win?" Haman laughed and said, "As long as you give it, I want it." Lima was upset: "Then what shall I give it or not?" Haman said, "If I don't give it, I don't want it." Lima shouted: "No, you have to ask for it if you don't give it, and you have to be serious when you bet." ”
Then they saw a small boat come down from the big ship, like a leaf on the rough waves, floating to and fro, and turning over at any moment. The four of them widened their eyes and watched the boat swaying towards this side, and although the wind and waves were very strong, the boat slowly approached the island, and there were two people in the boat, one in front of the other, and they were about to come to the island, and Lima shouted loudly: "Come on, you will be able to do it." In fact, his voice couldn't be heard at all, it was just self-comforting.
The two people in the small boat rowed hard, Lin Xiao stared nervously at it, the small boat approached the undercurrent, as if it had been hit, the bow of the boat suddenly turned sideways, and quickly drifted to the right. "Ahh
The boat was swept away by an undercurrent, and the sailors on board turned the rudder, circled, and turned back again. This time, the boat changed direction, it passed diagonally in the direction of the undercurrent, this man can be regarded as using his brain, unexpectedly, the undercurrent also changed direction, forced the boat out, it wanted to cut off anyone's delusional intention to approach the island.
The boat was washed down again, but the sailors on board did not give up, and the boat turned back again, made a great circle, and slowly approached the undercurrent, waiting for an opportunity to cross by the help of the water flowing to the right. It managed to approach the undercurrent, but it just couldn't come over, and the speed of the undercurrent varied, a little slower on the sides and faster in the middle, giving the boat no chance at all.
