Chapter 229: The Perfect Storm
The car stopped at Matou, and at this time, a medium-sized coast guard ship was already in place and waiting, and several team members next to it glanced at Liu Xiaole and then at the sheriff. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The sheriff hesitated for a moment and said to everyone: "Give him a life jacket and set off with a tight schedule." ”
Hearing that, Liu Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief, if the sheriff turned his face at this time, he would have no choice if he left him on the shore.
In the distance, the dark clouds in the sky were oppressive, and lightning fell from the sea level from time to time. Unlike in the morning, when the waves were calm, the waves were already tumbling.
Liu Xiaole took a deep breath and got on the boat.
The more the boat drove inside, the bigger the wind and waves, the situation was far beyond Liu Xiaole's imagination, and not long after, Liu Xiaole couldn't stand it anymore and began to vomit.
The crew cast sympathetic glances.
The boat rode the wind and waves in the sea, the sea was stormy, the lightning and thunder, like the end of the world, the huge waves instantly engulfed the bow of the ship, the rescue ship rose and fell sharply like a roller coaster, and the huge ship was like a leaf, churning in the huge waves, and the swaying seemed so vulnerable.
This situation reminded Liu Xiaole of a film a few years ago, "The Perfect Storm".
Liu Xiaole hugged the trash can and continued to vomit, and he didn't have any thoughts at this time.
The sheriff smiled, "I didn't expect that. ”
Oh~~~ Liu Xiaole sighed dryly, with a bitter face. The sheriff smiled and handed Liu Xiaole a loaf of bread.
Liu Xiaole looked at the bread and had the heart to cry, and the sheriff said: "Eat it, eat it hard, so that you can vomit, otherwise your stomach will not be able to bear it." ”
Liu Xiaole heard that he took the bread and stuffed it into it, and sure enough, although he still vomited again after eating, his stomach was no longer cramping.
Half an hour later, an alarm came from the radar.
The people in the cabin suddenly became alarmed, and the captain said: "Seven nautical miles away, it's a distress signal." ”
Liu Xiaole couldn't care less when he heard this, so he ran over in a sissy voice, and fell a few times halfway, and his arms and thighs were all broken.
The sheriff's face became solemn when he saw the distress site, because the weather radar next to him could clearly see a huge swirling object, which was slowly approaching the place where the distress signal was issued.
At this time, the captain was also waiting for the sheriff's order to evacuate or move on.
A few seconds later, the sheriff said, "Full speed ahead, quick victory." ”
Then he said to the liaison officers in the vicinity: "Contact the rescue helicopter." ”
"Understood."
The boat shuttles through the rough waves, and the waves of the one-story high sea shoot towards the ship one after another, and the scene from the movie of the perfect storm completely appears in reality.
The sheriff looked at the conditions outside, frowned, and said, "Let's stay there for only 3 minutes, and if we can't find anyone, evacuate immediately." ”
"Understood," the crowd replied.
In fact, such a climate sailing search and rescue is already the limit, everyone knows that the most windy place in the typhoon is not the eye of the storm, but around the eye of the storm, according to the time calculation, the intersection of the two ships is just near the eye of the storm, 3 minutes is already considered to be a fate.
It was pitch black outside, and the only light on the sea was the light on the bow of the ship.
Huge waves are churning in the sea with lightning, and the lightning shines on the black waters, and the whole scene is like hell.
Not long after, bad news came, the helicopter did not reach the designated rescue site, and the weather conditions were much worse than expected. It had to be returned early for safety reasons, which means that all hope is now pinned on this ship.
But again, since the climatic conditions at the place of the incident are worse than expected, it means that the ship may not be able to approach.
Liu Xiaole's heart was raised again, but the sheriff didn't seem to care, and continued to ask for full speed ahead.
The ship slowly entered the storm zone on the radar, and the speed of the ship was even slower, not because it was slow, but because the captain had to constantly adjust the posture of the ship and try to avoid the side of the ship facing the waves.
In this way, the boat is actually moving in a curve, and the speed is naturally much slower.
Looking at the scene outside as if the end was coming, the hearts of the whole ship were all raised to their throats, and the waves of several floors high, if the operation was wrong, the ship could be directly overturned, and the consequences were unimaginable.
After many twists and turns, the ship finally reached the place where the red signal was given, and the captain gave the order to sound the horn and turn on all the lights.
At the same time, the surrounding sea was instantly illuminated by white halogen lights.
But after searching, nothing was found except for the huge waves on the sea, and everyone was anxious as time passed.
Seeing that the time is almost up, the sheriff ordered, withdraw~!
The boat began to move back, Liu Xiaole couldn't say anything at this time, he couldn't make any requests, and it was already a huge risk made by the local police to be able to come over under such conditions.
A few minutes after the boat sailed, a seafarer said through the porthole, "Look." ”
When I heard that everyone had come over, I saw a fishing boat churning in the waves not far away.
"It's him~!" Sheriff said.
"Approaching at full speed."
The crew agreed, and the rescue team changed gears and was ready to go.
Because of the strong wind and waves, the two ships avoided colliding and could not get too close, and in order to confirm that there were survivors inside, the captain began to communicate with the horn with lights.
Sure enough, the fishing boats over there responded, and everyone's spirits were lifted.
At this time, the rescue team members began to sort out and check each other's equipment, and they were ready to go.
Liu Xiaole motioned to follow him, but was stopped by the sheriff, it is true that he has no strength at all now, and he can only add chaos to go.
At this point, the captain began his own extreme maneuver, eventually stopping the two boats less than 3 meters apart.
The captain of the ship cleaned up and signaled that he could act, and the rescue team members armed to the teeth pushed open the hatch and rushed out, almost at the same time as the door opened, the rain instantly poured into the cabin, almost wetting the equipment.
Outside, after the rescue team members communicated with sign language, one of the team members accurately threw the rope to the opposite fishing boat, and after pulling a few times to signal safety, the three rescue team members tied the rope and slid to the fishing boat, the whole process was done in one go, without a trace of drag.
1 minute later, a woman was hugged out by the rescue team, although Liu Xiaole couldn't see who the woman was, but looking at the figure, it was Chen Jinrong.
After fastening the safety equipment, there was a 0K gesture from there, and the crew on this side began to pull the rope.
A few seconds later, Chen Jinrong was the first to be safe, and then he was quickly escorted into the cabin by the rescue team, Liu Xiaole looked at the frightened Chen Jinrong and really couldn't say anything, so he could only drag his tired body and put a blanket on Chen Jinrong.
Chen Jinrong saw that Liu Xiaole was a child who had made a mistake, and as soon as he wanted to speak, he was stopped by Liu Xiaole and signaled that I understood.
Next, Wu Yue's figure also appeared on the opposite boat, but Wu Yue shook his head desperately when he approached the side of the boat, and the rescue team members seemed to be talking about something, and it could be seen that Wu Yue was scared.
Seeing that Wu Yue was unwilling to face the other side, there was no choice but to transfer the staff on the ship one after another.
At this time, the lightning is almost non-stop, and the sea surface is illuminated by lightning as if it were day, and the wind and waves are getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, all the crew members were transferred, and only Wu Yue remained. (To be continued.) )
