Time was pressing, Sam handed over some simple tasks to Ye Chen, and immediately started to prepare. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Professor, do you need to wear a life jacket now?" After Ye Chen walked out of the cab, he saw George wearing a life jacket with the help of Howard. "Isn't it just a rainstorm, and it's worth all the fuss?"

"George, don't underestimate the rainstorm at sea, if nothing big happens, it's a blessing. It's not a little windy tonight. ā€

"Isn't it just a level 5 wind, what's there to be afraid of." George still fastened his life jacket with an unhappy face.

"The level 5 wind at sea is not comparable to that on land, and the waves can reach more than 3 meters." Ye Chen put on his life jacket and introduced George by the way, "Tie that emergency kit to your body for a while, I hope you don't have a chance to use it." ā€

Ye Chen had already bought an emergency kit before boarding the ship, which was very waterproof and could store high-calorie foods such as chocolate, as well as emergency biologicals such as flashlights, multi-function knives, lighters and compasses.

After putting on the life jacket, Ye Chen began to check the items in each room, especially the lounge, there were many electrical appliances hanging on the wall, once the hull began to shake violently, these items would cause more serious injuries to the crew.

According to the weather fax transmitted by the radio, Sam moved the fishing boat south at high speed for more than an hour, roughly leaving the center of the rainstorm, until he felt the sea breeze near the fishing boat, Sam immediately ordered the anchor to be put into the water.

It seemed to be a matter of an instant, as soon as the sea breeze strengthened, Ye Chen heard the sound of rain hitting the outside of the fishing boat. The sailors were all on standby in the wheelhouse, George and the others also followed Professor Cooper to protect them in the laboratory, and Ye Chen and the film crew were left in the lounge.

"Ahem, can you hear it in the lounge?" Sam's voice sounded on the walkie-talkie in Ye Chen's hand.

"Sam, I'm Ye Chen." Ye Chen hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Well, my voice here is very clear, keep talking, and report any problems immediately." At the end of the previous preparations, Sam handed over the two walkie-talkies to Ye Chen and Professor Cooper, and the walkie-talkies were the best choice at this time in the stormy weather, which was really not suitable for communicating with the various parts through the deck.

The rainstorm came very quickly, and just now I felt a little sign of rain, and then the wind mixed with the torrential rain came. The crackling raindrops on the fishing boats were clearly heard in the lounge. The howling of the sea breeze is getting louder and louder, and it is not difficult to imagine the size of the waves from the extent of the shaking of the fishing boats.

Through the glass on the door of the lounge, Ye Chen looked out, and the entire sky was shrouded in dark clouds, intertwined with wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

The items in the lounge were swaying from the fishing boats so much that the tables and chairs slid past this corner of the room and back like an earthquake. Ye Chen pressed against the foot of the bed, keeping his body balanced, sometimes Ye Chen felt that he had turned his head down, fortunately the fishing boat had not been destroyed by the waves.

"Damn, this is a level 5 sea breeze, no matter how you say it, it has to be level 7." As the waves grew stronger, Tom grabbed the handrails beside the bed with both hands and lay on the bed and cursed loudly.

Ye Chen shifted his consciousness to the sea outside the fishing boat, and at this time, the turbulent waves had already rolled up, like a wall of water, and the fishing boat hanging on the anchor rose and fell with the waves, and the entire fishing boat shook violently.

The waves crashing against the fishing boat fall on the deck, the hull, and even the roof of the boat, and the water cascades down the deck to the rooms below.

The fishing boat swayed around in the water like a leaf, and even though Sam had tried to get the fishing boat out of the center of the rainstorm, he had never expected such a big storm. Now that the situation around the fishing boat has far exceeded what the weather forecast says, Sam can do nothing but beg the boat not to be swallowed up by the waves.

Seeing this situation, Ye Chen could no longer let the waves rush to the fishing boat, and the current fishing boat could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time.

Ye Chen's consciousness was completely integrated into the sea water near the fishing boat, and he constantly issued his own instructions to the sea, condensing a huge amount of water elements to build a barrier near the fishing boat to resist the waves coming from the outside.

The vast ocean is really difficult to control, Ye Chen's magic power wants to flow into the bottomless pit and keep draining, even so, the water element that Ye Chen can mobilize is still very difficult to resist the entire ocean.

Harder work, Ye Chen clenched his teeth, he was already sweating like rain at the moment with high-intensity output of magic power, and at this time he had reached the limit of what he could hold onto, and no matter how much he increased the output of magic power, Ye Chen would not be able to last long. However, Ye Chen didn't know how long this rainstorm would last, and he could only hold it for a long time while slowing down the wave level.

With Ye Chen's help, the waves near the fishing boat were much smaller, and at the same time, Ye Chen added a layer of protection to the bottom of the fishing boat to enhance the balance of the fishing boat, so as to resist the invasion of the waves.

"Captain, the waves are getting smaller." Moder, who was waiting in the cab, felt that the waves were much smaller than before, and hurried to report to Sam.

"It's true that the fishing boats are much more stable." Sam was also scared for a while, the fishing boat had already shown signs of overturning on its side before, and it didn't take a few huge waves to capsize the fishing boat, and even he was ready to fall into the sea, fortunately, the assassin storm became smaller.

All the people on the fishing boat are glad to have escaped death, no one knows how much effort Ye Chen who collapsed on the bed at this moment has spent, in order to maintain the stability of the fishing boat, Ye Chen almost has to use all his magic power, he maintained the maximum power of magic output for an hour, until the storm began to get smaller before retracting his spiritual power attached to the sea. Ye Chen, who was conscious back to his body, suddenly collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move, this mental fatigue was even more serious, it seemed that he hadn't rested for three consecutive days, Ye Chen just wanted to sleep at the moment, and even the cheers of others in the lounge couldn't make him have any reaction.

The cheering crowd didn't notice Ye Chen's condition, although the waves were back to normal now, after all, the rainstorm was still continuing, and everyone was still vigilantly staying in their positions, begging for this rainstorm to end as soon as possible.

The rain has been falling for three or four hours, but only at the beginning it was accompanied by strong winds, and when it came to the back, the waves were much calmer, and finally the rain stopped at dawn, but Ye Chen didn't know all this, he fell into a deep sleep since he returned to his body from the moment he realized it, and no matter how the fishing boat rocked, it couldn't affect him.

It seemed that the night was too stressful, and everyone in the lounge fell asleep after the rain until noon the next day.

Ye Chen, who woke up, still looked depressed, feeling like an explosion in his brain, this should be an overuse of mental power. Until now, Ye Chen was still a little afraid, at that time, Ye Chen directly exhausted his mental power and fainted, if there was another hurricane at that time, the fishing boat would really sink in the water, and Ye Chen naturally didn't even have a chance to teleport.

"It seems that you have to do what you can in the future, and this is not a small one, and I almost lost my life." However, Ye Chen did not regret doing this, if Ye Chen hadn't stabilized the fishing boat in time, he might have been swallowed by the sea by now.
