191 Chapter 190: The First Tear
The yacht rose and fell in the wind and waves, and Carlos looked at the pale face, deep frown, and sweaty American sweetheart lying on the bed, and his heart was numb.
It had been the second day since they set sail, and at noon on this day, a strong wind suddenly blew from the southeast, and the dense dark clouds were brought by the fierce sea breeze, and in less than half an hour, the sky they could see was directly obscured.
The originally gentle and calm sea changed its face in an instant, and one after another big waves were like piranhas staring at their prey, constantly crashing into Carlos and their yacht with suicidal attacks, and the heavy hull was completely vulnerable to the roar of nature, and could only move slowly with the lapping of the wind and waves.
So, as the only woman on the ship, since Gu Sen's accident, she has been worried but pretended to be strong, and the American sweetheart who used twelve points of energy to care for Carlos finally collapsed in a situation where she was shaky and couldn't touch the ground.
According to the plan, during the day, Locke and the captain were jointly at the helm, and Carlos used the excuse of looking at the satellite map to search for the positioning signal on Gu Sen's body, but he actually locked himself in the room and searched with the system map function. The captain and his father are at the helm at night, after all, day and night, in terms of routes, the two young people are not as good as the old drivers who have been driving for many years.
Giggle –
There was a knock on the cabin door.
"Seasickness medicine and warm water, what's wrong with her?"
After the door opened, Locke walked to the side of the bed with a thermos flask and a small jar of medicine, and seeing that the person on the bed was no longer asleep peacefully, he exhaled softly and let out a long breath, turned around and put the medicine and the bottle on the head of the bed.
"What does Uncle say about this storm?"
Carefully pulling the quilt across the chest of the American sweetheart, Carlos and Locke left the cabin at the same time, the former looking through the glass and looking out at the world outside the yacht, it should be a sunny noon, but they seemed to have traveled through time to the time when the sun was rising with only a faint light.
Thinking of his little friend and his father, Locke couldn't help but give a thumbs up, which was completely different from the two of them being ruthlessly ravaged and embarrassed in the wind and waves. After being tired of the whole night post, the ship only shook for a few minutes, and the old captain immediately came out of the resting cabin, took over the rudder domineeringly, and turned the tide with the power of one person.
Thanks to the rescue of the old driver, the American sweetheart, who had been vomiting, was able to settle down.
"Half an hour at the fastest, at the slowest evening, the wind stops, and the rain is estimated to fall for several days. I just received the news that the search and rescue operation was suspended due to the wind and rain. In addition, the black box has been found, the recovery of the body is not optimistic, and after the storm has passed, there is even more hope, and the land side seems to be preparing for a mass funeral. You ......"
People always have to look forward, when the most unacceptable things happen, after the worst, unbelievable first two days, no matter how unwilling the mood is, you still have to forcibly calm down.
Perhaps at first, Locke was still convinced of Carlos's belief that "Gu Sen is still alive somewhere, waiting for them to save him", but during his rest time, he also went online to Baidu for all kinds of plane crashes.
First, the bomb broke the plane from the middle, and the impact of the smoke, fire and explosion was enough to sweep away a wave of passengers, and then the human body was exposed to high altitude, and the lack of oxygen, pressure and icy temperature could take away a wave of passengers, followed by falling from a high altitude into the sea, and in the process of falling was hit by the wreckage of the plane, in the process of weightlessness, he was frightened and entered the sea in the wrong posture, and the whole passenger plane was wiped out in minutes.
With the advent of the black box, the Hoffman family and the simulation group negotiated together, and their closest people were still able to obtain information half an hour before the airliner accident through the CVR.
Just three minutes before the explosion, the crew found a suspected bomb in the bathroom, and the crew immediately reported the situation to the captain.
Since the bomb looked extremely rudimentary and was not a professional to determine its authenticity, the captain decided to hide the truth for fear of panicking the passengers, falsely claiming that the plane had to land halfway due to technical problems.
Three minutes later, when he told the passengers to put on life-saving equipment through the radio, and controlled the plane to change course and fly to the nearest airport.
——
When they first knew this information, everyone still felt a little comforted in their hearts, three minutes of preparation time, according to Gu Sen's personality, he must have put on a life jacket very honestly and obediently, with survival equipment, plus he himself is relatively proficient in survival skills, how can the survival coefficient be higher than that of ordinary people.
But with the bad news reported for several days, not to mention the survivors, more than 100 people who were killed, only about 30 bodies have been found so far, and the rest of the time passes, the chances of finding them are even more slim, the hidden saprophytic fish in the sea, the movement of ocean currents, and the changes in the weather......
Especially with today's big storm, even a yacht can take the thrust off the course, let alone people!
Knowing what the little friend wanted to say next, Carlos just glanced at Locke lightly.
"He's alive, I know."
Even if you survive the plane crash, in the vast sea, there is no food, no water, and maybe even a place to stay, and now it has been four full days since the day of the accident!
Facing the pupils that flashed with a metallic cold light, no matter how many words he spoke, Locke couldn't say anything, and he couldn't ask what made him always believe that Gu Sen was still alive.
It will rain for several more days, and fresh water is available. But why, the color of Gu Sen's avatar is still hovering in orange and red, is it a lack of food? Or are you sick? Or is it injured?
Clenched into fists, Carlos grimaced and walked briskly to the cab.
——————————
On the evening of July 5, the Malaysia Airlines passenger plane on which Gu Sen was traveling crashed in Brazilian territorial waters; Gu Sen's avatar is orange-red.
On the evening of July 6, he was qualified to participate in search and rescue and officially went to sea; Gu Sen's avatar turns orange-red to yellow-orange.
On the morning of July 7, the black box was obtained, and 34 bodies have been recovered; Gu Sen's avatar is yellow-orange-red and changes repeatedly.
At noon on July 7, the search and rescue operation was suspended due to a heavy storm; American sweetheart falls ill; Gu Sen's avatar is yellow-orange-red and changes repeatedly.
On July 8, the storm was suspended, heavy rain, and the search and rescue operation was carried out slowly; The American sweetheart is still sick, and Gu Sen's avatar basically stops at yellow and orange.
On the afternoon of July 9, Jacob showed up with a supply ship......
——————————
Boarding the yacht participating in the search and rescue through the deck connecting the two ships, He Man's eyes immediately turned red, but she still did not forget her work, picked up a large bag of vegetables, and steadily followed the sailors who came out to greet her, and walked to the warehouse.
After carrying enough supplies for a week, He Mancai urgently ran to the lounge where the others met, and as soon as she put her hand on the doorknob, she immediately withdrew it as if she had been electrocuted, and turned to gently buckle the door panel, making a crisp gurgling sound.
"Please come in."
Another familiar voice, his heart trembled, He Man took a deep breath, slowly opened the door, and the first to meet was indeed the owner of the voice-Locke, the expression on his face was obviously stunned, but it calmed He Man's uneasy heart.
She took the initiative to meet Locke's eyes, and the words clearly indicated her intention.
"I'm here to help, where I can be useful, please do not hesitate to ask!"
I haven't seen him for a while, there are too many changes in He Man's body, Locke was a little hoarse for a while, he nodded, took the initiative to turn sideways, and let He Man walk towards the lounge.
——————————
"Jacob, you'll take Audrey back later, I'm sorry I didn't take care of her."
"What do you say, I can still hold on!"
Even though his face was pale, the American sweetheart still forcibly said that he would not leave.
"You find a mirror and look at your face, anyway, Tom is here, let him do the chores, you go back with me, stay here, are you taking care of someone else or someone else is taking care of you."
Jacob's words were a little heavy, and the American sweetheart's eyes widened, but she couldn't say anything to refute it, she just reluctantly grabbed the coat she was wearing and hung her head so that no one could see the tears in her eyes.
"We're worried about Sen and Carlos's mood, it's the same, the little lady is also here, we will take good care of Carlos, you can go back to recuperate with peace of mind, and come back when you're well."
"Little Miss is here?"
Raising her head suddenly, American sweetheart earnestly confirmed to Tom who spoke, and after getting a positive answer, she couldn't wait to look at the door, in her perception, although Carlos was now acting confident and strong, she could still feel the impatience and fear under his forced calm.
At this time, he needs the support of familiar relatives and friends around him.
"Don't look for it, after hearing that Carlos has not had much appetite lately and that you have fallen ill again, she ran to the kitchen to make some porridge. Audrey, don't take the medicine first, after drinking the porridge, wait until the stomach is warm before eating. ”
Locke, who was about to open the door, appeared from the corner, and after reporting He Man's whereabouts to his friends, he walked directly to the innermost room in the lounge, where there was Gu Sen's cousin who came with the supply ship, and Gao Ren, a mercenary who was all over the world.
As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of smoke came out, making him, a smoker, choke his nose.
Coughing and waving his hand to dispel the smoke in front of him, Locke finally approached Carlos and Gao Ren who were sitting facing each other, and he was not polite, he casually pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked.
"How's it going?"
Squinting and taking a fierce puff of homemade hand-rolled cigarettes, Gao Ren, who didn't know where in the world he had rushed over, had a sallow and thin face, which made his eyes full of evil even more terrifying.
"Carlos told me before that Gu Sen was originally on the 4th plane and went to Rio on the 5th, but because of a prank call, he missed the boarding time, and finally changed his book."
Suddenly having a bad premonition, Locke listened to Gao Ren's words, and subconsciously looked at Carlos, who had a calm face all the time.
"I'm concerned about this prank call."
The original sexy and evil voice was calm and did not fluctuate, which inexplicably made people feel cold in their hearts.
Exhaling a puff of white smoke, Gao Ren lightly clasped the wooden tabletop.
"I asked someone to check back with Asen's number, and the person didn't hide it, and it was easy to find out. This is not a terrorist attack, the person who set off the bomb is the same person who made a prank call, this time it was obviously aimed at Asen, and it was really domineering to let the people of a plane accompany him to bury. ”
The ironic sarcasm contrasts strongly with the grim smile on Gao Ren's face.
"Gavin Wood, huh?"
"You know your rotten peach blossoms. Two boats and 20 people, it will arrive tomorrow, you can use it as you like. Arsen's temperament I know, in this life, my brother and daughter-in-law are only you, and I am also domineering, so I can't see anyone with the same identity as me, understand? ”
Pulling out the first smile since they met, the system's own body, no matter how haggard he was, couldn't hide his amazing appearance, Carlos stood up slowly, half-bent over the person sitting with his back straight, and reached out to pull the remaining one-third of the cigarette out of Gao Ren's mouth without refusal.
Under Locke's stiff gaze, he slowly extinguished the cigarette butt on the table, and then presumptuously met Gao Ren's eyes, smiling wildly.
"Cousin, I don't care if you smoke, but second-hand smoke reduces my life, I want to live with my man until the golden wedding, and then smoke in front of me and beat you~"
As soon as Carlos's words fell, the atmosphere of the scene instantly froze, as if he could really hear a needle.
it! That's really a master who has killed people! Without Gu Sen's concerns, people will kill you in minutes!
Contrary to the frightened Locke's expectations, after a few seconds of silence, Gao Ren suddenly burst into exaggerated laughter, he stood up, and patted Carlos on the shoulder twice, with a heartfelt happy expression on his face.
"Remember to notify me of the golden wedding anniversary! Great gift to you! ”
"If you can't be polite, don't say that I won't give you face, just throw it out the door."
"Hahaha - don't worry, for the sake of your meal, you will be careful of your own little life. By the way, the two elders of the Gu family didn't come, but Gu Lei and his daughter-in-law were 4 months pregnant, so they waited on land. You see, the father and son seem to be a little interested in Assen's company. ”
Carlos was laughed at directly.
Although I know that the father and son have a weak sense of family affection, but if they are in this situation, they will really live for a long time!
Not to mention that Gu Sen is still alive, even if he is gone, the marriage relationship registered in the UK, the assets of the husband and wife are shared, and they want Gu Sen's company? Don't even think about it, I'd rather sell it and donate it! Nor are they cheap!
See you in court! Not at all!
After nodding his head to indicate that he knew, seeing that there were not many things, Gao Ren said that he had to leave first, so that Carlos could find Gu Sen with peace of mind, and he wanted to see people in life and corpses in death. He went directly to the United States, since everyone has done it, the exchange of gifts and gifts has to let people experience a Chinese-style "hit the small, come to the old", as a cousin, isn't it a little older than Gu Sen!
After sending Gao Ren to the speedboat and seeing the man leave with a bad breath, Carlos pursed his lips, the system interface that has been open, Gu Sen's avatar is still yellow-orange, and there is always an illusion that it has been fixed and the system is out of order.
For the first time in two lifetimes, I experienced this heart-wrenching pain.
Exhaling heavily, Carlos turned back to the cabin, and a fragrant and refreshing smell of porridge instantly awakened his taste buds that had been decadent for the past two days.
"Carlos, you haven't eaten all day, come on!"
The American sweetheart beckoned to him surrounded by his friends, Locke, Captain, Jacob, and Tom all looked at him silently, and at the dinner table, a long-lost girl was wearing a simple apron, holding a tray with a steaming wooden bowl in both hands, and her eyes were red for I don't know how long, and a pair of moist eyes looked at him so stupidly.
If she had a stronger hand, maybe the stainless steel tray could be folded by her, and Carlos would have no opinion on her own stupid, impulsive, and stubborn sister paper.
He took the initiative to walk to He Man's side, and naturally put one hand on the top of her short hair, and rubbed it indiscriminately.
"You're here."
Without any more words, He Man immediately put the tray into Locke's hand beside him, and as soon as he turned around, he threw himself into Carlos's arms, wrapped his hands tightly around his waist, and cried loudly.
"I'm sorry!"
A belated apology can be regarded as a slightly gratifying thing in the past few days.
The American sweetheart, who has been sitting on the side, bites her wrist to prevent her emotional self from crying. Happy ending, now, there is only one Gu Sen left.
After a heartwarming dinner, Jacob returned to the mainland on a supply ship with his American sweetheart, and the next day, after Gao Ren's reinforcements arrived, the three yachts wrapped up the wrecked sea area in an outflanking route and continued the search work.
As the days passed, Tom and He Man, who joined later, quickly found their position. As a professional photographer, Tom took on the task of using a telescope to observe the movement around him.
He Man took the place of the American sweetheart's chores, just like the first words she said when she boarded the ship, what could she do, just as she was told!
After days and nights of searching, it was not without results, and Carlos and his boat recovered the bodies of more than a dozen victims, most of whom were found through Tom's photographer's eye.
And every time after picking up the corpse from the sea, He Man took the initiative to identify it in fear, and after confirming that it was not Gu Sen, he wiped away the tears on his face, and then happily returned to the lounge to report.
Those who participated in the search and rescue work on the ship have the impression that Carlos, who observes the sanitary map in front of the computer 20 hours a day, but in fact constantly controls the map of the M3 system, is a particularly reliable, particularly strong, and particularly sad person.
Gu Sen had an accident until now, although everyone didn't say it, but in fact, they basically didn't believe that he could survive this air crash, although they were also moved by their employer's dedication to their lovers, but more, they all participated in the work with the mood of a part-time job.
By the time the calendar flipped to July 14, the search and rescue boats still floating on the sea had not found any new bodies of the victims for two days. The atmosphere on the deck was even more dreary under the scorching sun.
Inside the cab.
"Here and here, there is no signal from Gu Sen, after lunch, you can turn around and walk to the other side, the other two ......"
The person who had been talking suddenly shut up, and the captain and Locke, who were studying the charts together, looked up at the same time.
"Carlos, what's wrong?"
Completely unable to hear the sound of the outside world, Carlos looked at the system interface, Gu Sen suddenly jumped from yellow-orange to orange-red, and finally gradually deepened the bright red avatar background.
Tears flowed silently down her cheeks and dripped gently on the unrolled chart.
