The Beginning Volume: The Mountain Rain is Coming, the Wind is Full of Buildings, the First Chapter 28: The Great Waves of the Bermuda Triangle (1)
Nearly a month has passed, the Atlantic.
The vast ocean is like a deep blue carpet covering the earth, and there is no end in sight, and the sky is blue, cloudless, like a blue and white curtain.
The water and the sky are beautiful.
Underwater is a school of fish, flounder, tuna, sea bass, and more.
Reach 200 meters into the middle and deep zone of the Atlantic Ocean, where if you are lucky enough to see sperm whales and squid.
The Atlantic Ocean, which has the largest catch per unit area of any ocean in the world, is home to fishing boats.
At this time, the Shark Hunter was sailing on the ocean.
The Shark Hunter is a medium-sized fishing vessel in the United States, and its steel material makes it more resistant to wind and waves than wooden fishing boats, and it is not prone to safety problems such as center instability and capsizing.
The captain was an alcoholic, so the chief officer was most of the time in charge of the steel fishing boat.
The sun was high in the sky, and Qiao Sen was lying comfortably on the metal rocking chair on the deck, the refreshing sea breeze blowing in the mild sun, and the alternation of hot and cold between the warm and the cool made him lazy, as if he was no longer the captain of a fishing boat, but a rich man who went to sea for vacation.
That's right, Josson was the captain of the Sharkhunt, and he was holding a bottle of Janbian whiskey from Bourbon, Kentucky, in his left hand, and he was reluctant to throw away even an empty bottle.
"Captain, beyond that is the Devil's Triangle. "The first mate came to the deck and set the course for the third time to Jossen.
"Don't you want fish, just drive forward, Grandpa Monster won't want us to die." Catch more, and my wine will be settled. Jossen said with a big grin.
The first mate turned around and left, he had long been accustomed to the tone of the captain's speech, and he also understood the captain's temper, but when he took over the fishing boat, the two had an agreement, he was in charge of small things, and he had to ask three times for big things.
The Bermuda Triangle, known for its anomalous phenomena, sounds terrifying, and there have been many bizarre disappearances, but if you look at the total number of planes and ships passing through this area, with this huge denominator, the probability of danger becomes extremely small.
The Bermuda Triangle is scary not because of the size of the molecule, but because of how weird it is.
Fishermen who fish in the vicinity all year round can be roughly divided into two situations, the bold ones tend to fish, and the timid ones avoid them.
After all, the probability of danger in the Bermuda Triangle is extremely small, and fish resources are very abundant, with more than 120 species of fish, several of which are barely specialty.
The first mate belongs to the bold category, to be precise, from the captain to the crew of the shark hunting ship.
Most of the fishermen on the Shark Hunter are from poor backgrounds, do not believe in superstition, do not believe in evil, for the sake of livelihood, dare to take risks, the Bermuda Triangle is less dangerous and has many resources, and the weirdness alone cannot stop them from moving forward.
People's luck is limited, and when your luck runs out and you are still gambling, you are likely to lose your life.
Not long after sailing into the Devil's Triangle, Qiao Sen felt cold, the temperature was dropping, and the balance of temperature was tilting to the cold side.
A gust of sea breeze blew, and he shivered with cold.
"Strange weather, change when you say it. Jossen looked at the dark sky and complained, not having the slightest premonition of the approaching danger.
"Captain, I've brought you a quilt so you don't catch a cold. A smiling fat man appeared in front of Qiao Sen with a blue quilt, his eyes were already small, and when he narrowed, they became even smaller, and there was only a slit left for the line of sight to enter and exit.
Qiao Sen took the quilt, shook his hand violently, and the wine bottle fell towards the deck in front of the fat man's feet, and with a snap, the glass shattered to the ground: "Tell Lao Tzu! What the hell are you and the dog head doing?"
The fat man in front of him is the third mate, and the dog head is the nickname of the second mate, the two of them are a pair of living treasures on the fishing boat, and they always like to play pranks, and they have been tricked up and down the whole boat, and Qiao Sen is no exception.
Because of this, down to the crew, up to the captain, the first reaction when I saw them was vigilance.
Qiao Sen suddenly came to such a hand, in order to bluff the three mates.
The third mate was indeed frightened, and whispered: "Care about the captain, and seek some small benefits by the way." โ
Qiao Sen struck while the iron was hot and shouted angrily: "Say!
The third mate said weakly: "I made a bet with the dog head, betting on whether you will return to the captain's room in ten minutes, and betting $100, I bet that I will not return." Captain, hold on a little longer, and the time will be up soon, no more than two minutes at most. โ
$100 is a lot of money for them who are struggling to make ends meet, and they are the only ones on the fishing boat who will gamble their living expenses for nearly ten days for the rare thrill.
"If you don't have that $100, won't you give him a quilt?" Qiao Sen gritted his teeth angrily, just betting with him, and actually cheating! What is this? Is this treating him as a dice, or is it a remote dice!
"Deliver, sure, I care more about the captain's health than a little welfare. "The three pairs of backs are straight, and the big belly almost tears up the clothes.
"I'm satisfied with your attitude, and since you care about me so much, then I'll give you a chance to make a choice between me and $100. Qiao Sen stuffed the quilt to him, turned his head and planned to go back to the captain's room, saying that if you want to win, Lao Tzu will not let you win!
Success! The three pairs of hearts were overjoyed, tilting their heads, and a smile on their faces appeared like a villain's conspiracy succeeded.
The third mate's conspiracy did succeed, and he had long expected that the captain would be wary when he saw him, so he deliberately reversed the content of the bet, but in fact he bet that Qiao Sen would return to the captain's room.
Naturally, this was done to provoke the captain and make him return to the captain's room immediately.
Sure enough, the captain was fooled!
Since you want to act, you have to play it as perfectly as possible, and the three pairs have a bitter face and pretend to be sad: "Captain, don't." โ
He hadn't taken a few steps before Jossen suddenly stopped.
Seeing the captain stop, the third mate immediately panicked, broken, couldn't it really be persuaded by himself? Damn, why talk so much, as if he wished he would lose.
"Waves!" Qiao Sen suddenly shouted in one direction.
"Captain, I'll admit it's cold, but with this little wind, it can set offโ" Looking in the direction of Jossen's finger, the rest of the three pairs of words were stuck in their throats.
In the direction where the two of them looked, dark clouds covered the sky like pieces of a puzzle, and the sunlight was completely blocked, and the light was dim.
Looking down, the heartbeat of the three pairs suddenly accelerated, and at the sea horizon, the huge waves like walls gradually rose as the distance narrowed.
"Waves, Waves!" the same words came out of the mouths of the three pairs again, and his voice was even more trembling than that of Jossen.
The boundless waves were like a fierce beast rushing across the ocean, carrying the momentum of destruction towards the shark hunt.
Far away, the captain and the third mate felt the powerful pressure brought by the huge waves, like a heavy hammer to the chest, and the hammer was almost fatal.
"Tsunami! The wave is no less than 20 meters high!" the third officer judged the height of the wave based on distance and experience, and the panic had spread all over his body.
He was puzzled, it is impossible for NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) to fail to monitor such a large tsunami, why did they not issue an early warning?
However, what the third officer didn't know was that NOAA did not monitor the tsunami at all, and the tsunami can be divided into three categories according to the cause, earthquake tsunami, volcanic tsunami, landslide tsunami, and the huge waves in the distance obviously do not belong to any category, not even tsunamis.
It's just that reality doesn't allow him to think too much.
"Quick! go to the cab!" shouted Josson, in this case, it was inevitable that the huge wave would hit the shark hunter, and he had to hurry up and take countermeasures!
Although there is still some distance, at the speed of a huge wave - there is not much time left for them.
Jossen's heart was very heavy, such a high wave, the capsizing of the Shark Hunt was almost an ironclad fact, even if they had all taken countermeasures.
This is a dead end, and they have to seek a ray of life in the dead end.
If the Sharkhunter had survived the first wave, they might still be able to survive, Jossen thought.
It's just that he would never have imagined that there was only one stack of huge waves from beginning to end.
The calm sea swayed as the waves approached, and the Shark Hunter swayed on the surface.
In the cab, the second officer was busy sending a distress signal, and the third officer was making life-saving deployment, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing.
"Captain, look! What's that?" the small crew standing in front of the surveillance screen was the first to break the silence.
Jossen walked briskly, and as soon as he arrived in the wheelhouse, he asked the crew in charge of the surveillance equipment to point the camera at the stern of the ship, and recorded the video as he ran.
They are ready to resist the waves, but before that, the first thing to do is to flee, flee in the opposite direction, and if they can't escape, they will fight again.
As for the video, Qiao Sen's idea is very simple, if he survives by luck, this video must be worth a lot of money, even if it can't be sold for a good price, it can become the capital he can brag about at the dinner table in the future.
If Lady Luck didn't favor him, the video would have been counted as a funeral item for him, and he would have spared no effort to escape anyway, and if Death insisted on taking him away, he couldn't help it.
On the screen, the crew pointed to a huge wave, where a column of water rose into the sky, and a black dot was faintly visible on the water column, but because the light was too dark and there were too many waves, it was not very clear.
"It can't really be a water monster, right? If you shoot a water monster, you'll get rich! Enlarge it! Enlarge it!" Excited, Qiao Sen almost forgot that he was still running for his life.
Qiao Sen was glad that he had a little money back then, and installed some excellent equipment on the Shark Hunt, including a marine camera.
As for the Shark Hunt, that was the only legacy his father left him.
Closer to 4 million pixels, closer to the distance, you can definitely see clearly, Qiao Sen, who was fascinated by money, is actually praying that the distance between him and the big wave is closer.
Now his mind is full of the scene that shocked the world after discovering and recording the water monster, there are water monsters in the Pacific Ocean, and there are also water monsters in the Atlantic Ocean! The Pacific Ocean is not clear, the Atlantic Ocean is clear!
The distance narrowed, and the black dots on the surveillance screen gradually became clear, revealing its true face, and also shocked everyone in the cab.
It was the young crew member who broke the silence first, and he exclaimed, "Man! That's man!"
